"Cecilia, my child, remember that this world is filled with endless mysteries and is far broader than you can imagine. You must never lose yourself.
As long as you persist and never give up, hope will always accompany you.
When you feel lost, when you feel confused, when you find your heart wavering, look at the radiant smiles of children, listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, across the rivers, and over the mountains.
You will realize that while you have been buried in confusion and uncertainty, you have already missed many things.
Do you hear the wind flowing? It passes through trees, through clouds, over mountains, and across waters; it is truly the most beautiful sight and sound in the world.
...
Recalling her childhood memories, she remembers how her father would always stroke her hair with a gentle smile. Back then, she was too naive to understand the meaning of his words.
Although she had understood their significance long ago, now she could only choose another path.
For she is the Queen of Ice Lanster, the last monarch. She must bear the weight of her title; there is no choice for her. Of course, she does not regret it now.
Just like her father said, as long as she perseveres, hope will always be with her!
Cecilia looked at the man sitting on the enormous throne, her resolve strengthening. This man is the 'hope' that can save Ice Lanster. As long as she seizes him, Ice Lanster will rise again in recovery and rejuvenation.
It will shine with eternal brilliance!!!
"Respected strong one, this is the Book of Ice Lancer; it records everything about Ice Lanster."
Gently removing the ruby from her chest and placing it in her palm, Cecilia's eyes were clear: "Though it is not complete, it represents the last glory of Ice Lanster. Now, I present it to you."
Taking a deep breath again, she spoke firmly: "Leah requests you, esteemed strong one, to find a suitable continent for our Ice Lanster people to settle and thrive. Please."
Alex, the werewolf giant, with his three crimson eyes, was now shedding tears.
Once a powerful and glorious Ice Lancer that traversed many Dimensions, the Ice Lancer was on the brink of decline. How could they not feel heartbroken?
Gazing deeply at this stunning woman, Ye Kai understood that she had wagered everything on this moment. He released Alice and slowly rose to his feet.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
A set of dark golden armor adorned with countless golden patterns covered his entire body. A bright red cloak fluttered slightly behind him. In his hand appeared a staff that resembled the one held by Cecilia, but it was far more exquisite and ornate.
“Ding!”
A circle of soft Radiance illuminated the entire captain's cabin. Ye Kai spoke with a serious tone, “I, Supreme God Ye Kai, promise you, Queen of Blanster, that I will find a place for your Ice Lancer people to call home.”
This was the first time he publicly acknowledged himself as the Supreme Deity and made such a solemn promise. Yet he felt no regret, nor any hint of hesitation.
He believed this was worth it!
Cecilia wept tears of joy, her vision blurred. She choked back her emotions and bowed again, “Respected Lord God, Cecilia thanks you for your grace in the name of the Ice Lancer Queen!”
“Cecilia, as a member of the Ice Lancer, thanks you for your grace!”
“Cecilia and all representatives of the Ice Lancer people thank you for your grace!”
“Respected Lord God, thank you for your grace!”
Not only her; at this moment, Galastad had also regained his composure. Upon hearing Ye Kai make a promise in his divine name, he set aside the last remnants of his anger.
“I, Galastad Ammer, as a Silver Knight, swear to you, respected Lord God, that as long as you can find a place for the Ice Lancer people to call home, I will dedicate my soul to you and believe in you, taking your name as my own…”
"I, Vorn Wolf, in the form of the Snow Wolf Warrior, vow to you, esteemed Lord God, that as long as you can provide a place for the people of Ice Lancer to call home, I shall dedicate my soul to you, believe in you, and bear your name..."
"This oath shall endure through the ages!"
...
To be honest, Ye Kai was truly shocked and grateful.
On one hand, he was moved by the relentless efforts of these people for their kin; on the other hand, he was astonished by their willingness to give up everything, even their souls, in pursuit of survival for their people.
At the same time, he felt immense relief because he had encountered this group of straightforward, sincere, selfless, and lovable Ice Lancers. They had imparted to him a lesson that was both shocking and invaluable.
When a race faces extinction, there will always be those who fight with great courage, wisdom, and perseverance, willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves in search of that slender thread of survival—the glimmer of hope known as light.
Even if they ultimately perish in body, even if they fade into obscurity and silence, their spirits will remain loyal and uncomplaining as they continue to fulfill the promises they once made.
This is the greatest and brightest part of humanity.
Sacrifice!
Dedication!
Gazing deeply at this group embodying the most radiant aspects of humanity, Ye Kai stepped lightly through the air, moving closer to them with each step.
He gradually came to a halt before them and spoke softly: "There are already too many Undead in this world. If the people of Ice Lancer still have time to wait, I can seek out a more suitable world for them to survive."
"This world is already good enough, esteemed warrior. We can no longer afford to wait. Every moment brings more bloodshed and sacrifice among the Ice Lancer people!"
Cecilia said with a slight tremor in her voice: "Leah requests your help, Lord God!"
"Please grant me your assistance, Lord God!"
Galastad spoke in a deep voice as well, "Lord God, your most loyal knight, Galastad, requests your divine grace. Please let your divinity, Radiance, shine upon the people of Ice Lanster, allowing my former brethren to bask in your blessings!"
After taking a deep look at the devout Silver Knight kneeling before him, Ye Kai took the 'Book of Ice Lancer' from Cecilia's hands and threw it directly to the deity, commanding, "Conduct an immediate examination. I want to know everything within it—remember, everything!"
"Understood, Lord God!"
Ye Kai smiled lightly and addressed the others softly, "Rise, my knights, my Snow Wolf Warriors, and of course, Queen of Blanster. Since time is short, let me clear a space for you on this land so that the people of Ice Lanster can live and thrive here!"
With that, he suddenly waved his bright red cloak and turned back to his main seat, declaring loudly, "God, find the most suitable location to gather the Undead. I want to cleanse Milwaukee of all its Undead!"
"Lord God, the target has been located. The most suitable position is right beneath Hope in this square."
Ye Kai's gaze sharpened as he spoke solemnly, "I command it!"
"All Maglev Battle Cars are to be deployed immediately to draw all Undead here. Main Cannon charging is to commence; I want this place thoroughly purified!"
