Well, the old man was indeed reminiscing about the past. His experience with Luoqi was truly similar, he had also been a hopeless romantic when he was young, pursuing a girl from the Curio Departnt in just the sa way.
It's just a pity that his story didn't have a happy ending, so perhaps he saw the shadow of his past in Luoqi and thus obstructed him, not wanting him to be trapped by love.
As for how Caelus knew? Well, don't ask how soone on the Path of Rembrance gets their hands on a mory.
Finding Luoqi, Caelus did not hesitate to hand over the red data symbolizing the truth.
The reason was simple, he liked recording true stories, so naturally, he had to give others the true truth.
After learning everything, Luoqi muttered to himself.
"So it's impossible for to count on her returning. The ti span between us is already too long, one day for her is equivalent to a year for , and this gap will only continue to increase."
"Even if I could wait for her to return, I might already be decrepit, an old man with one foot in the grave."
Luoqi took a deep breath, but a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Spending a lifeti waiting for soone, enduring a lifeti of loneliness and solitude... Honestly, buddy, you don't think I'm that naive, do you? Haha! Of course I won't wait for her. I won't wait!"
"I'm going to chase her! I will chase ti!"
"Since our ti has ford a massive canyon separating us, instead of waiting for her to walk out of it herself, I might as well cross the canyon to see her."
"Perhaps after ten years, I'll finally et her, who has only experienced one month, but that way our ti will be synchronized, which is far better than sitting here waiting like a fool."
"Thank you, buddy. Thank you for being willing to tell the truth and for telling what I should do now. I'm going to have a good al, say goodbye to my master, and then set off on my journey."
Watching the young man who had made a decision in such a short ti and was about to act on it imdiately, Caelus once again intuitively felt the power brought by love.
"This journey could be very dangerous. The Antimatter Legion, the Abominations of Abundance, and all sorts of potential dangers, you might die on the way. There's also the possibility that by the ti you arrive, you'll be an old man, and she'll still be very young... Even so, are you still willing to go?"
"Yes, of course I know how many dangers this universe holds, and of course I know how impulsive this sudden move of mine is, but I have no regrets."
"Just because of... love?"
"Yes, buddy. Perhaps you don't understand right now, you haven't t soone you can love from the bottom of your heart, so you can't understand my impulsive choice. But precisely because I love her deeply, I am willing to risk everything to pursue her. Love is such a thing that easily makes people lose their reason, but I find it sweet even if it's bitter."
"Moreover, even if the starry universe is dangerous, it is equally vast and beautiful. On this journey, perhaps I will be able to see scenery I've never seen before and feel a sense of being alive I've never felt. Carrying this exploration of the unknown, along with that anticipation of reunion, I will walk to the very end of this journey."
"When we get married, I will ask you to be my best man, my friend!"
"At the mont of parting, I wrote a final poem for you."
Luoqi handed the paper with the poem on it to Caelus, then waved his hand with a smile and went to perform his pre-departure ritual.
Caelus looked at the paper in his hand.
> Goodbye Herta
> Darkness lines up in the distance.
> Dissecting ti in a nearly cruel way.
> The petals questioning love have already fallen, like the ticking of a clock in infinite space-ti.
> We have no choice but to slide into the ominous trembling of the universe, like sliding down a slope of twilight.
> Just like that, the stars continue to enjoy the music overhead, and along the way will be their elegant, weary faces.
Caelus could feel the determination and the fervent pursuit of love brewing within the words.
"m..."
m appeared. Watching the emotions brewing in the text, she could also taste a flavor within them, a flavor that was both sweet and sour, with a faint bitterness. This, perhaps, was the true taste of love.
It was far more delicious than that so-called love she had tasted earlier in the Data Calculation Room.
"A very good flavor, a very good mory, a very good story. I also really hope this story can have a perfect ending."
Caelus put away this gift and then returned to his room in the space station. He spent so ti crafting sothing, then found Luoqi, who had not yet left the space station, and tossed a Light Cone into his hand.
He was like an old friend, but it's a pity that Caelus would not easily gift that old friend's thod of self-preservation again, he could only use another way.
[Pseudo-Light Cone: Caelus
Effect: Summons a mory projection of an existence nad Caelus.
Usage count: 4 / 4
Rating: I choose you!]
"I hope you can cross the canyon of ti and find the person you love."
The mont Luoqi received this Light Cone, he understood how to use it. He fell silent for a long mont, then looked at Caelus in front of him, nodded firmly, and said, "Although I don't know who you are, or how you know my story, I will succeed. Thank you for your help."
Caelus didn't say anything more and turned to leave. He found Bernard, who was still in the sa spot, told him his choice, and handed him the fake data.
"I see. Very well, this can be considered his own decision."
Bernard's gaze was sowhat dazed. As Luoqi's teacher, and soone who shared similar experiences with him, the old man always inevitably found himself reminiscing about the past.
"He is about to leave Herta Space Station. Who knows when he'll be back, or if he'll be able to successfully achieve his goal? As his teacher, I should go see him off."
"...Yes, you're right. With this departure, who knows if we'll ever et again? I must see him off."
When only Caelus and m were left, m asked, "Partner, will he succeed?"
"He will."
"Why? Is it because you also think this sincere love will give them infinite possibilities, Partner?"
m's eyes were sparkling.
"No, the system notified that I've completed a hidden quest."
Caelus answered bluntly.
[Hidden Quest: To the Dim Star. Quest Objective: Help Luoqi learn the truth or conceal the truth. [Truth branch completed, facilitating their reunion.] Quest Reward: 1,000 system currency.]
From the amount of system currency, it was clear that even without his help, the two would have reunited eventually.
Caelus thought to himself, then opened his book and began to record this love story that chased after ti. He didn't forget to include the poem that was given to him, and at the end, he wrote a prophecy for the story.
In the future, they will eventually reunite.
(To be continued.)
