I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

One day forty years ago, the Elf Queen Xiyue came to the Holy Sound Bell Tower alone and visited the Angel Hall.

She marveled at the incomparable beauty of the clock tower, but at the same time felt sorry for the sad situation of Liuguang City under the rule of the Yangcaiqiao family.

It's a pity that people have no time to appreciate such a dreamlike and magnificent building in front of them.

Just as she spread her thin and transparent four-leaf wings and prepared to leave, she suddenly heard a beautiful song in her ears.

She turned around, stared at the sculpture that looked like an old friend, and said in surprise: "I never thought that there was such a cute child here."

Xiyue asked tentatively: "You haven't been fully born into this world yet, why do you sound so anxious?"

"..."

"I see," Xiyue smiled and said, as if she had heard the expected answer from the vague voice, "You really love this city. You always want to protect the residents here at times like this. No wonder the Ruler fell in love with this world because of you."

"I want to see the world he loves. But before that, I hope to protect this town." said the vague voice.

"You have too many wishes, and I'm afraid they can't be fulfilled in a short time. However, if you need strength, I can help a little."

She took out a green scabbard, placed it under the angel sculpture, and hid it. "I don't like regrets. Just think of it as helping you for your own good."

"Oh, by the way, your singing voice is very beautiful, I like that song very much. I believe that in the future more people will gain strength from your singing." After saying that, Xiyue left with a smile.

The scabbard of the Fengshen sword is a divine weapon with protective power, just like the amulet of Lycoris Radiata.

The difference is that the amulet is merely Mrs. Kikyo's selfish desire as a mother to protect her child.

The scabbard of the Fengshen sword symbolizes Zhong Ling Shengyin's determination to protect Liuguang City.

She absorbed the magic power in the scabbard day after day, year after year, and finally one day more than ten years later, Zhong Ling Shengyin could not wait to be born as a Holy Spirit in an incomplete form.

This scabbard, as the source of her life, continued to shrink after losing all its power and turned into a tiny conical pendant.

Zhong Ling Shengyin, who had just been born as an incomplete holy spirit, did not have many memories of the past. He just loved the pendant from the bottom of his heart and subconsciously understood that it was something closely related to his life.

When she saw Catherine struggling and distressed about the echo, she recalled her past regrets.

People are always like this. If they are mediocre in appearance, they will envy others' outstanding appearance. If they are stupid, they will admire others' smart minds. When they have regrets that they can never achieve something, they will presumptuously expect others to do so.

Zhong Ling Sheng Yin hopes that Catherine can chase Hui Ying, but she also understands that reality is always cruel, and it is impossible for them to live happily together without any obstacles.

Even so, Zhong Ling Shengyin still has expectations for them.

Or rather, it was precisely because of that regret that she didn't want Catherine and Echo to end up like herself.

Therefore, Zhong Ling Shengyin gave the pendant that she cherished as much as her life to Catherine, gave her all the help she could, and allowed her to have the right to choose.

Zhong Ling Shengyin believed that if there was a chance, Catherine would definitely choose to catch up without hesitation, and strive to climb to a position where Huiying could see her and where he could rely on her unconditionally.

It may not be appropriate to call it the gift of the Holy Spirit. It should be called a testimony to their efforts.

As Catherine and Echo worked hard to be with their loved ones in the best possible way, their thoughts were conveyed to Bell Spirit and Holy Sound.

Catherine always thought that it was Zhong Ling who gave her the motivation to set off. In fact, didn’t her friend prove her determination with her actions and invisibly infected Zhong Ling Shengyin?

Behind every phenomenon that can be called a miracle, there are countless causes and effects coming together.

Just like at this moment, when the scabbard floated above the gospel tree, the petals covering the ground and the colorful clouds floating from the sky turned into a majestic and endless force and were sucked into it.

Everyone followed the strange sight in the sky and came here, only to see a green scabbard standing under the giant tree, opening the way to the inside of the trunk.

There is an extremely huge, well-preserved and exquisite coffin.

The scabbard vibrated and opened the coffin lid, and then it lost its luster as if its magic power was drained away and fell to the ground.

The disappeared girl and the sleeping boy opened their eyes and woke up.

The giant tree trembled, and petals fell in large areas like drizzling rain. Against the backdrop of the colorful clouds in the sky, it was impeccably beautiful.

Catherine and Echo followed the scabbard all the way here, and saw the orange-haired girl and the gray-haired boy standing side by side among the falling flowers, smiling and waving at them.

"Zhong Ling!" Catherine called her name excitedly, rushed forward and hugged her tightly: "Is it really you?"

"It's me, Catherine." Zhong Ling Sheng Yin hugged her and said softly, "It's nice to see you again, my friend."

Hyde smiled gently beside her and watched it all quietly.

Tears welled up in Huisheng's eyes and he clenched his fists excitedly, deeply moved by this miraculous reunion.

"Is this the Holy Spirit from the bell tower? She actually came back, it's incredible."

"Oh my God, this is a miracle!"

"The legend of the Holy Spirit's revival is actually true."

Manjushage and others who had just arrived here were all surprised by the revival of Zhong Ling Shengyin.

Most of the people present had heard her beautiful, soul-touching singing voice and understood the entire story of Liuguang and Zhongling Shengyin. Except for Manjushage and others who had met her, everyone subconsciously regarded this as a sad and beautiful story.

When she appeared in front of people in human form, everyone realized that Zhong Ling Shengyin really existed.

She has protected Liuguang City for two lifetimes and now has become a part of this city.

Her resurrection was a miracle, and it brought a perfect end to the long story that had taken place on this land for four hundred years.

Lycoris radiata picked up the scabbard and found that it had lost all its magic power just like the Cape of Good Hope.

Although it is a pity, it is not a bad thing to have such an ending.

It's no wonder they couldn't find this thing. Kikyo would give the artifact away mostly when she encountered a tough problem. Exhausting the magic power in it usually only provided slight improvements, but could not perfectly solve all the problems.

All good results are the result of their own hard work.

The decision to return to Liuguang City turned out to be the right one. I recovered three artifacts in one go and witnessed so many touching and inspiring stories. It really makes people feel emotional.

Not to mention that Liuguang and Hyde have fallen completely in love with this city after staying there for more than ten years. Manjusaka has only been here a few times, and now she doesn't want to leave.

Mushu and Rujing, Huisheng and Catherine, plus the newly returned Zhong Ling, Shengyin and Hyde, their presence symbolizes the city under their feet that has experienced many ups and downs, and their infinite future is full of expectations.

Their lives go on, and Manjushage and her group also have their own future.

Countless roads intersect here, with laughter, tears, joys and sorrows.

After a short stay, we will move on to a new chapter.

"Oh, it's so lively." At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from the lively crowd.

"Thesis? I'm glad you're okay." Seeing that he was safe and sound, Manjushage was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, thanks to your assistance, I can stand here safely."

Tethys smiled and said, "Although it may be a bit difficult to ask, I have something to ask of you... Could you please stay with me for a while?"

"Of course, what do you want us to accompany you to do?" Manjushage agreed readily.

Normally, you should first understand his request and then consider whether to accept it.

But Thesis doesn't have much time left to live, and he might be gone tomorrow.

If she needs someone to accompany her at the end of her life, she believes that others will not be so cruel as to refuse.

"Go to Mirror Lake and see Medusa." Thesis answered concisely.
