Xiao Meng felt as if she had fallen into a Kaleidoscope, with colorful Memory Fragments swirling and dancing before her eyes. The solemnity of the Ancient Priestess worshipping the stars, the ecstatic shout of the Future Scientist in the laboratory proclaiming "Eureka!", and the elegance of the Otherworldly Princess dancing under the moonlight—all these fragments pieced together like a puzzle in her mind, yet always missing that one crucial piece, leaving her anxious and restless.
"Grandpa! Where are you? What’s going on?" Xiao Meng couldn't help but shout, but aside from the buzzing Starlight Fragments, all she received in response was a suffocating silence.
Suddenly, a baby's cry pierced through the stillness. The sound was tender and crisp, like the first bird song of spring, yet it carried an eerie echo as if it came from a distant time and space.
Xiao Meng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?!
Before she could ponder further, that familiar and infuriating voice of Grandpa finally chimed in: "Girl, I knew you would..."
However, his words trailed off abruptly like a kite with a broken string, leaving behind an infuriating ellipsis.
Xiao Meng stomped her feet in frustration. Grandpa, please finish your sentence!
This was not like you to drop the ball at such a critical moment!
She felt as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped her heart, which raced wildly as if it might explode.
At that moment, a lazy voice laced with mockery whispered in her ear: "I must say, this Starshine scent... tsk tsk, quite interesting." The voice... Xiao Meng turned sharply to see Sunshine standing behind her, wearing a nonchalant smile that belied the depth of his gaze, which seemed to pierce through everything like the vast starry sky.
Suddenly, the ethereal figure of Priestess Ancestor appeared in the center of the Starlight Fragments. Her Starlight Robe shimmered softly like the brightest star in the night sky.
"The Stardust Lullaby requires resonance between the Covenant Maker and Caster's consciousness," Priestess Ancestor's voice was ethereal and distant, tinged with a hint of sadness. "Only then can we break the closed loop of time and space." As soon as she finished speaking, her Starlight Robe slowly unfurled into a Cradle sparkling with starlight, gently swaying as if waiting for something.
At the same time, Shadow Azure's figure emerged at the other end of the Starlight Fragments. He was surrounded by a black Star Sand Vortex that roared like a hungry beast, devouring time and space around it with chilling howls.
"The Cyan Blue Consciousness is the last line of defense for the Witch Clan..." Two voices echoed simultaneously. Xiao Meng was astonished to see Sunshine split into two small Star Sand Babies—one radiating warm golden light while the other was deep blue like stars in the night sky.
The two babies held hands and slowly circled around Shadow Azure's Star Sand Vortex while chanting an ancient and mysterious incantation.
The Star Pattern Lock Core on Xiao Meng began to vibrate violently, emitting dazzling light that resonated with an hourglass nearby, gradually forming a brand new Starry Vortex.
This vortex was composed of her Three Lifetimes of Memories—prayers from the Ancient Priestess, wisdom from the Future Scientist, and courage from the Otherworldly Princess... Three different powers intertwined to unleash unprecedented energy.
Just as Xiao Meng plunged the Star Pattern Lock Core into the Hourglass Core, Old Grandpa Plugin's voice finally rang out again, this time grave: "The true closed loop requires overlapping Three Lifetimes of Memories from both creator and priestess..."
At that moment, Shadow Azure let out a piercing scream as his body began to twist and contort until he transformed into a black baby consumed by the Star Sand Vortex...
"Girl, next..." Grandpa's voice cut off once more. Xiao Meng's heart sank; an ominous premonition washed over her.
She looked up at Sunshine only to find him staring at her with an odd expression.
"Xiao Meng..." Sunshine began slowly, his voice low and somewhat hoarse.
Before Xiao Meng could decipher any meaning from his significant words, Priestess Ancestor’s ethereal projection suddenly seemed invigorated. With a flick of her Starlight Robe, she wrapped Xiao Meng tightly within it like an unopened blind box.
“What the hell is going on?” Xiao Meng thought to herself, but before she could finish her internal monologue, Priestess Ancestor announced in a voice that seemed to carry an ethereal surround sound, “The Twin Contract's Ultimate Form is the Timeless Anchor Point!”
Anchor point?
Xiao Meng was bewildered; the term sounded so much like a teleportation point from a game. Before she could process this metaphor, something even more outrageous happened—the Sunshine Brand Star Sand Baby, which had been spinning hand in hand, suddenly reassembled like Lego blocks with a series of “Ka Cha Ka Cha” sounds, transforming back into the gloomy yet handsome Azure Priestess!
The Azure Priestess’s long blue hair flowed as if caught by an invisible wind, and he looked at Xiao Meng with a complex expression filled with guilt, reluctance, and a hint of relief that he himself was unaware of.
He raised his hand and gently caressed Xiao Meng’s body wrapped in the Starlight Robe, his touch as tender as if handling a fragile treasure.
“Xiao Meng, I’m sorry…” His voice was deep and hoarse, like an ancient stone tablet weathered by sand and wind.
At that moment, the previously stable Star Sand Vortex suddenly went out of control, swirling like a hornet's nest disturbed by a Bear Child, wildly devouring everything around it—including Priestess Ancestor’s Starlight Robe, the Azure Priestess’s figure, and… fragments of Xiao Meng’s Three Lifetimes of Memories!
“No way! This is bad?!” A chill ran down Xiao Meng’s spine; if all her memories were swallowed up, wouldn’t she become just a Repeater who could only say “ah”?
In the final moment before her consciousness was consumed, Xiao Meng saw Sunshine (no, it should be Azure Priestess now) give her a relieved smile.
That smile shone like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly illuminating all her fears and anxieties.
Then she lost consciousness.
In the darkness, Xiao Meng seemed to hear the sharp cries of a baby—an eerie sound that sent chills down her spine.
Wait a minute, that sound… doesn’t it resemble Black-hearted Grandpa?!
Before she could figure it out, she heard Old Grandpa Plugin’s familiar sigh nearby.
“Ah…” This time, the old man’s voice didn’t cut off abruptly; instead, he sighed completely. Yet for some reason, this sigh felt more despairing than any ellipsis.
The Starry Vortex gradually calmed down; everything returned to silence except for a solitary hourglass flickering with faint light suspended in midair.
Xing Li’s cries suddenly ceased as if an invisible hand had grasped its throat.
Then all around, the Three Hundred Mirrors lit up simultaneously, each reflecting Black-hearted Grandpa’s twisted and sinister face.
Xing Li’s crying stopped abruptly as the Black-hearted Grandpa in the mirrors revealed a strange smile directed at the hourglass. He slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the direction outside the mirrors.
