Amber Era, before 2145…
Madam Herta, who was nineteen years old at the time, stood beside an empty tombstone. Her long purple dress made her look like a freshly bloomed purple balloon flower.
Noble. Distant.
There was no expression on her lovely face.
She simply stood there silently beside the tombstone, staring at the empty slab.
It was as if the blank tombstone was filled with a thousand unspoken words in her eyes.
"Brother…"
Her voice was fully mature, ethereal, and pleasant to the ear, yet devoid of any emotion.
It was like the light emitted by the Star of Herta high in the sky, gazing upon all living beings with equal indifference.
"I'm leaving…"
"Since this is your wish, then I will become that most dazzling genius…"
Her slender hand gently brushed across the tombstone.
"One day, I will bring you back to life."
"Don't even think about leaving me…"
You took away her sensitivity, yet even in that extremely rational state, she never forgot you, never let you go.
That day, she left Azure Star and began sailing the seas of stars in search of knowledge…
Exploring the limits of all things. A genius like her even encountered Aeons several times.
She rarely returned to that blue planet, and although the people of Azure Star heard many legends circulating throughout the universe, they never saw Madam Herta again…
It was not until Azure Star faced a crisis that they once more saw the lady wearing a pointed wizard's hat—
"The Lady Herta," who could change the tide at a critical moment…
She had saved Azure Star from danger nineteen times.
There were also rumors of a leaked interview in which a reporter from the Interstellar Peace Corporation asked her why she cared so much about that planet.
"I'm only worried that he might not be able to find his old home…"
"And regarding White Star, which you named at the age of seven, being acquired and brought down by the Interstellar Peace Corporation…"
"I appreciate my brother's decision. He did it to save me…"
This was the answer Madam Herta gave when she grew impatient with the questioning.
After that, she gradually disappeared from public view, becoming one of the most mysterious existences in the universe.
Genius. Wise. Calm. Completely devoid of empathy.
This was the evaluation given by those who were fortunate enough to meet Madam Herta in the seas of stars.
Only when standing before that tombstone would this research machine of flesh and blood pause for a moment.
Conclusion: a person of extreme importance to Madam Herta is buried in that grave…
These were the exact words of Screwllum #76.
…
Meanwhile, on Blue Star, Su Xiaobai gradually recovered his spirits after several days of rehabilitation exercises.
When he had free time, he even logged into the game and pulled a fully Eidolon, fully Light Cone Madam Herta.
After all, she was his sister, and he had to dote on her no matter what.
Looking at the mysterious and noble Madam Herta in the game, he silently blessed his own sister, Madam Herta, in his heart…
She would surely become the most dazzling existence in the galaxy, just like in the game.
And as for himself…
Su Xiaobai paused briefly, a hint of melancholy in his gaze. His life in the simulated world had ended.
But he had forged a soul bond with that girl.
He wondered whether he would ever have the chance to return to her side…
To say: Sister, your brother is back…
[The dead cannot be revived, and reincarnation is not the same person. Host, please accept your pain and move forward.]
The system's cold voice sounded again.
Su Xiaobai froze for a moment and murmured those words to himself.
"The dead cannot be revived, and reincarnation is not the same person…"
He sighed silently, then quickly understood that each life must be independent and should not bear the weight of other memories.
Otherwise, it would affect the direction of his own life and leave him with immense regret.
[However, if feelings are sincere and deep, across the vast sea of stars, reunion is not impossible. Please remember: the Host is a man with a system.]
That's right…
Su Xiaobai nodded lightly. He was a man with a system.
Even across the vast sea of stars, with time and space interwoven…
So what?
Madam Herta could live forever, and if he could also live forever, then in that eternal future, they would surely meet again.
Definitely.
With that thought, Su Xiaobai finally felt at ease.
He only wanted to focus on the present, live his own life well, and then slowly build that future…
That future where he had the ability to protect her and the time to stay by her side.
With this thought, Su Xiaobai asked his system:
You said I could have the chance to choose a world. What worlds can I choose?
[The system is organizing.. Please wait.]
