"A lamp?"
"..."
Ye Qiyan silently glanced in the direction where Zhu Xingshu and the others were.
"Is this that oil lamp?"
"I never expected it would still appear."
Ye Qiyan didn't feel disgusted just because this was something proposed by Zhu Xingshu. He reached out and took the object WALL-E had found, the most precious treasure within the station.
[The Final Spark]
[Offer life, ignite the end]
[Note: Every world will welcome its own final spark, but this does not mean every world must welcome the end.]
So, the reason this Garden Star became what it is now.
Was because of this oil lamp?
"..."
Ye Qiyan silently lifted the lampshade of the oil lamp.
A tiny, fragile flame, seemingly extinguishable by a gentle breeze, burned quietly within.
"Hmm~"
Thus.
He blew a breath of air towards the flame.
"..."
[——?......]
The moment the flame was extinguished.
The shattered Garden Star ceased its collapse.
[Spirit: 1 (Shadow of the End?) (Witness Truth and Falsehood!)]
[Status: Mental Exhaustion]
[You halted the end, you have witnessed everything of the end, yet all this cannot stop you from moving forward]
"Hmm..."
For the first time, since arriving in this wasteland world, Ye Qiyan actually felt a strange dizziness.
But this sensation lasted less than an instant.
[Spirit: 2 (Shadow of the End) (Witness Truth and Falsehood!)]
A new status, listed alongside Witness Truth and Falsehood, appeared on his Spirit stat.
"What was that just now?"
Ye Qiyan scratched his head, looking down at the extinguished oil lamp in his hand, and used the System's appraisal again.
[The Final Spark]
[It is extinguished. If one day you wish for the end to come, offer life, offer freedom, offer everything... Or perhaps? Do you have another method to make it burn?]
"What is all this nonsense, sacrifice, and then the end? Why would I, with nothing better to do, bring about the end?"
Ye Qiyan casually weighed the oil lamp in his hand a few times before tossing it to Lisette beside him.
"Throw it into the Storage Unit to collect dust later."
Although he didn't think he would ever have a use for this thing, he had to admit.
This oil lamp could indeed be called the most precious treasure in the Hanging Gardens, even on the entire Garden Star.
Ye Qiyan pondered for a moment, thinking silently.
What would have happened if WALL-E hadn't found this oil lamp?
He would be fine, with the Anchor existing, he could leave anytime he wanted.
But the others at this station wouldn't be so lucky.
Perhaps some top-tier Train Conductors could hold out until the System reloaded the departure option into this world.
But the vast majority would definitely die here.
"WALL-E."
Ye Qiyan softly called the little robot's name.
He once again stroked its pleasantly textured iron head~
WALL-E tilted its head with a smile. Although it didn't understand why its master was patting its head again, it really liked this feeling~
"You're a hero, you know. Even if they don't know, it's enough that I do."
WALL-E saved the humans on Garden Star.
It even saved Garden Star itself.
————
"Slap!"
A crisp slapping sound rang out.
Zhu Xingshu, sporting a bright red handprint on her face, still looked at the golden-haired nun before her with a smile.
"Don't be angry~ I just made slight use of everyone's lives, that's all. In the end, even if the end truly came, the one most likely to die would probably just be me~"
"Besides~ Shaya, you're immortal anyway, hehe."
Shaya's gaze was extremely cold. Even the vibrant young woman Stacia beside her now wore an expression full of displeasure.
"Zhu Xingshu, you've gone too far! How can you say such things?"
"Just using our lives? I indeed won't die, but what about Ye Qiyan, and Stacia?"
Stacia blinked, her gaze towards Shaya tinged with a bit of confusion.
What did she mean, 'and Stacia'?
That pause in the middle made it sound like she had been forgotten?
"Ahem, did I come at a bad time?"
At that moment, Ye Qiyan, who had driven the Road Tyrant here, greeted them with a smile.
Only after obtaining the oil lamp did Ye Qiyan have the time to check the message Shaya had sent.
Thus, he came here.
And just happened to witness the scene unfolding.
Shaya's expression softened considerably. She walked straight over, looking Ye Qiyan up and down as if she had X-ray vision and wanted to see right through him.
"Is there something strange on me?"
"No... Ahem, I was just checking if you were injured. It's concern from a Senior."
Shaya withdrew her gaze, burying the countless questions in her heart.
She didn't want to look at Ye Qiyan, because doing so would let him discover the desire named "exploration" in her eyes.
["I want to know everything that happened to him after he left Mystic Bell Town so badly... How exactly did he do it? His talent, his Blasphemy Card, his Demon... everything about him... Why is it all so different?"]
Who could have imagined, even if spoken now, that among this batch of Train Conductors, someone had already collected seven cards of the same Card Sequence and slain a God.
Even if that God was the straggler among the C-grade.
But it was still a God.
A monster whose divine corpse ordinary people simply couldn't break!
Even though he possessed the Blasphemy Card... it's incomprehensible, I want to know.
All sorts of complex emotions tangled chaotically within Shaya's heart.
Under Stacia's somewhat amused gaze, she composed her emotions, cleared her throat lightly, and spoke.
"Zhu Xingshu, this matter isn't over. I won't help you again, no matter what happens."
"Don't be angry~ It was just a little joke~"
The two of them started bickering again over there.
Stacia took this opportunity to sidle up to Ye Qiyan, holding up her phone with a rabbit charm hanging from it, and grinned.
"Hello, I'm Stacia! So you're Ye Qiyan. I've been hearing Big Sis Shaya mention you these past couple of days, hehe."
A friend request was sent over.
There was no reason to refuse. Another person was added to Ye Qiyan's Friends List.
"Senior Stacia, what's going on with them?"
"Hmph..."
A shadow of gloom crossed Stacia's face as she explained exactly what Zhu Xingshu had done.
"So... she knew all along that this Garden Star would fall into the end?"
