444 A New Journey

As Jiang Fan prepares to depart after his lengthy discussion with Lady Sabrina, the atmosphere is filled with both nostalgia and anticipation. Amidst the fond farewells exchanged, there's a palpable sense of respect and camaraderie among his companions, Huo Zhige, Huo Kong, Borislav Sergey, Eira Artemis, and others. Their parting words, laden with well-wishes and promises of future encounters, reflect the depth of their bonds.

"Take care," They say, echoing sentiments of friendship and goodwill.

"We'll catch up later," They assure, hinting at the enduring connections they share.

"See you someday," They promise, acknowledging that their paths may cross again in the vast expanse of the universe.

Yet, amidst the heartfelt farewells, a request lingers in the air. The twins of the Elf Empire, Aiya, and Aini, approach Jiang Fan.

"Jiang Fan," Aiya pulls him aside, his voice hushed with concern. "Could you stay for just one more day before your departure?"

Jiang Fan's curiosity is piqued, his brows furrowing in suspicion. "Is there a problem?" He inquires, sensing the gravity of the situation.

Aiya offers a reassuring smile before revealing the true reason behind their request. "My cousin Iris is unaware of your impending departure. I fear she has something important to convey to you."

The mention of Iris stirs a complex array of emotions within Jiang Fan. As the designated successor to the Elf Empire's throne, Iris possesses unparalleled grace and talent, surpassing even the twins. In the eyes of many, Jiang Fan's continued presence in the Endless Star Territory would solidify Iris as a frontrunner for his affections, prompting ambitious individuals to orchestrate their union.

Yet, Jiang Fan remains steadfast in his convictions, his heart untouched by the allure of power and prestige. Despite Iris's undeniable qualities, he harbors no romantic inclinations towards her or any other suitor. His path is one of solitude, guided by principles that transcend the realm of mortal desires.

"There is no need for us to meet," Jiang Fan asserts, his tone resolute yet gentle. "For fate has not ordained our union."

"Fateless." Hearing these words, Aiya is slightly taken aback. But he quickly understands, and he can only sigh for his cousin. Iris is great, but compared to Jiang Fan, she falls short. There's no way to make him stop.

With those words, Jiang Fan bids farewell to his companions, each parting marked by a sense of finality and acceptance. Stepping aboard his Spaceship, he gazes upon the resplendent panorama unfolding across the Planets, a testament to the triumph of unity and resilience in the face of adversity.

BOOM-! BOOM-! BOOM-! BOOM-! BOOM-!

The reverberations of celebration echo throughout the cosmos, a jubilant symphony heralding the resealing of the Abyss and the dawn of a new era. Amidst the jubilation, Jiang Fan stands as a silent observer, his gaze fixed upon the horizon with a sense of quiet contemplation.

As the jubilant festivities gradually fade into the distance, Jiang Fan finds himself drawn towards a more remote corner of the universe, a realm untouched by the echoes of war and conquest. Here, amidst the vast expanse of space, a colossal Planet looms in the distance, a beacon of tranquility amidst the chaos of the cosmos.

Jiang Fan guides his Spaceship toward the Ancient Star, the gateway to a realm beyond comprehension. As the portal opens before him, a sense of anticipation courses through his veins, igniting a spark of excitement within his soul.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Fan finds himself enveloped by a kaleidoscope of colors and sensations, an ethereal journey through the realms of existence. As he emerges on the other side, a familiar sight greets him. a serene lake, its crystalline waters reflecting the boundless expanse of the heavens above.

Standing before him is the Protoss, a sage-like figure adorned in the vestments of cosmic wisdom. With a knowing smile, the ancient being extends a hand towards Jiang Fan, beckoning him toward him.

"How do you fare, little one?" The Protoss inquires, his voice echoing with the resonance of ages past. "Are you prepared for the journey that lies ahead?"

Jiang Fan meets the gaze of the Protoss with a sense of quiet resolve, his heart unburdened by the weight of uncertainty. "It is time,"

He declares, his voice ringing with a clarity born of introspection and purpose. For him, the Endless Star Territory is indeed over. But that's alright; he can depart in peace and venture into the new world.

And so, as the curtain falls on one chapter of his journey, Jiang Fan embraces the unknown with open arms, a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity and the boundless potential of the cosmos that awaits.
