"The true Sacrifice is not about giving up, but rather..." The shadow of the Old Grandpa Plugin flickered like an old film, his translucent beard swaying gently in the air, light as dandelion seeds.
His voice carried an ancient echo, resonating in the twisted space. However, before he could finish his sentence, a powerful suction erupted from the core of the Time-Space Termite, like an invisible giant hand that abruptly pulled the old man's shadow into the swirling vortex.
There were no screams, no struggles; he vanished without a trace, leaving behind those unfinished words, like a fishbone lodged in Xiao Meng's throat.
A jarring metallic distortion filled the air as Xiao Meng looked down at the Time Sandglass in her hand. The once smooth bottom of the hourglass had inexplicably revealed a scattering of fine Xing Sha, which flowed and combined as if they were alive, ultimately forming a strange pattern—a sorceress clad in an ancient Long Robe, closely entwined with a star that shimmered with brilliant light.
This image struck Xiao Meng like a lightning bolt, cleaving through her chaotic memories. She seemed to see a woman draped in starlight praying to the night sky at an ancient altar...
Meanwhile, Sunshine's mechanical body had long since disintegrated into countless Xing Sha during the previous explosion, cascading like a galaxy scattered throughout the distorted space. Yet just as these Xing Sha were about to completely dissipate, they miraculously reassembled, projecting flickering images into the air.
These were Sunshine's memories—three hundred cycles of Reincarnation, three hundred different identities, all pointing towards one girl—Xiao Meng.
"Actually, I have long..." Sunshine's voice was intermittent, like an old phonograph struggling within the cracks of time and space. In the images, he was sometimes a valiant knight, sometimes a gentle scholar, sometimes a silent guardian... Each identity and every gaze was filled with profound love for Xiao Meng.
Unfortunately, this belated confession was ultimately devoured by the merciless Time-Space Termite Core, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky—fleeting and ephemeral.
"You fool!" Tears finally burst forth from Xiao Meng. She clutched the hourglass tightly in her hands, her heart feeling as though it were gripped by an invisible hand, nearly suffocating her. This sudden revelation pierced her heart like a sharp knife.
She couldn't understand why Sunshine had hidden his identity from her and why he hadn't told her sooner. Why...
At that moment, the mechanical body of Black-hearted Grandpa, enveloped by Xing Sha, unexpectedly reformed into a massive shape resembling a Time Worm! It opened its gaping maw and let out a chilling roar as if it intended to swallow the entire world.
"So you all knew long ago..." His voice was filled with anger and resentment, like a beast cornered to its last stand letting out its final roar.
However, just then, the consciousness backups of the devoured Azure Plum Puppet erupted within the body of the Time Worm! Like countless timed bombs, they began to dismantle its form from within. Cracks spread rapidly like spider webs across its surface.
In this critical moment, an incantation from the Ancient Witch's Incantation and that shimmering Starry Marriage Contract suddenly surfaced in Xiao Meng's mind. Without hesitation, she fused both energies together to create a dazzling light that struck fiercely at the wobbling Time Worm.
"In the Name of the Priestess, with Starlight Power, seal!" Xiao Meng's voice rang out like ancient bells echoing through twisted space.
As the light faded away, the massive form of the Time Worm completely disintegrated into countless black fragments that dissipated into thin air. Yet where it had vanished appeared a swirling vortex of time and space emanating a heart-pounding energy wave.
Xiao Meng slowly extended her hand, her fingertips brushing against the edge of the vortex... "Could this be..."
Xiao Meng trembled as she reached out her finger, cautiously probing the swirling Star Sand Vortex. The moment she made contact, a jolt of electricity surged through her body, tingling like a shock. She felt as if she had been sucked into a high-speed washing machine, dizzy and disoriented.
In that dizzying moment, Xiao Meng's gaze suddenly fixed on a familiar doodle. Wasn't that the "Escape Route Map" that Sunshine had secretly drawn at the Genius Children's Training Camp? Recalling that time, Sunshine had always been mysteriously scribbling on paper, calling it "performance art." Xiao Meng had even teased him about his overly abstract style, joking that it was so avant-garde that Picasso would have called it impressive.
But now, as she clearly saw the so-called "Escape Route Map," she was instantly petrified. The crooked lines twisted and turned through every corner of the training camp, ultimately converging at one point—her heart!
"So this is what it means..." Xiao Meng murmured, her voice as light as a feather. Her mind buzzed with confusion, countless questions swirling in her head. Sunshine, you thick-browed guy, what does drawing the Escape Route Map on my heart mean? Were you planning to... to... (here, a thousand words of Xiao Meng's overthinking are omitted).
However, before Xiao Meng could expand her thoughts further, the Star Sand Vortex suddenly began to twist violently as if stimulated by something. The once gentle glow became blindingly bright, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
"Ka Cha—"
A crisp sound rang out as a crack appeared in the Time Sandglass held by Xiao Meng. Immediately after, an ethereal figure burst forth from the hourglass—it was the long-lost Old Grandpa Plugin! The old man's apparition was even more unstable than before, seeming ready to dissipate at any moment. His translucent beard was now disheveled, resembling a tangled ball of yarn.
"The true Golden Finger is..." Old Grandpa Plugin's voice carried urgency and anxiety, along with a hint of... constipation-induced pain?
Yet fate seemed to enjoy throwing a wrench in the works at critical moments. Before the old man could finish his sentence, the entire fabric of time and space began to violently unravel.
"No way! Dropping the ball at such a crucial moment? This plot is too cliché!" Xiao Meng couldn't help but complain, feeling as if she had fallen into a giant Kaleidoscope where everything around her spun and distorted rapidly.
Amidst the chaos of collapsing time and space, Xiao Meng felt an influx of information flooding her mind. Those long-sealed Three Lifetimes of Memories began to merge wildly as if their seals had been broken. She saw a priestess draped in starlight chanting ancient spells at an Ancient Altar; scientists in lab coats studying mysterious energies in a Future Laboratory; and a noble princess gazing at the distant starry sky from an Otherworldly Castle...
The priestess, the scientist, the princess... these seemingly unrelated memories pieced together like a puzzle to form a new and complete "Xiao Meng." She felt as if she had undergone a long journey through countless different worlds, experiencing myriad lives. Now all those experiences converged within her, making her stronger and more complete than ever before.
However, this fusion was not smooth sailing. Intense pain surged through her like a tidal wave, nearly overwhelming her. She felt as if her body were being torn apart into fragments, only to be reassembled again.
"Ah—" Xiao Meng let out a pained groan, tightly shutting her eyes. She had no idea what would happen next or what she would become. All she knew was that this was definitely not a pleasant experience.
At that critical moment, Xiao Meng suddenly sensed a warm force flowing slowly within her. This power seemed to want to guide her, helping her complete the final fusion. She instinctively tightened her grip on the Time Sandglass in her hand, as if clinging to a lifeline.
She could feel that within this small hourglass lay immense energy; perhaps it was the key to everything. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Meng worked to calm her emotions. She knew this was not the time for panic; she had to remain composed and find a solution.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, determination shining in them. She believed that no matter what happened in the future, she would be able to overcome it. She raised her head and looked at the swirling Star Sand Vortex that continued to twist and turn before her. Her fingertips were less than a centimeter away from the center of the vortex.
The air seemed to freeze, and time felt as if it had come to a standstill. Xiao Meng's heart raced wildly. She felt as though an invisible force was controlling her body, gently pushing her fingertips closer and closer to the Star Sand Vortex...
What secrets did Sunshine hide? What was the true Golden Finger of Old Grandpa Plugin? And what changes would the fusion of Xiao Meng's Three Lifetimes of Memories bring her?
"I..." A lump formed in Xiao Meng's throat, preventing any sound from escaping.
