Chapter 238 Cherry Blossoms

After breakfast, Yun Fuyu wiped her mouth, looked up at the two Xier with a smile, and said, "Xier meow, shall we get ready to go?"
Seele protests: "Don't call me Seele, meow!"
"Okay, Seele Meow, I understand. Shall we get ready to go?"
Of course, hope would stand up for Xi'er, and angrily slammed her hand on the table, saying, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"
He nodded honestly: "Yeah, Seele, I did it on purpose, so what?"
The withered Seele bared her teeth, seemingly really wanting to bite him, her sharp eyes searching for a target. Meanwhile, Seele had already silently put on her cat ears…
When the dying Seele found the target point, he glanced at Seele out of the corner of his eye and was immediately stunned into immobility.
She said with a tone of grief and indignation, "Seele, are you really going to succumb to other people's evil intentions like this?"
Seele's little face was pink and tender: "Huh? No. I just suddenly wanted to change my outfit..."
Yun Fuyu happily came over, pressed Xier's shoulders from behind, and rubbed her face against Xier's cat ears.
You can see Seele's pinkish skin, almost like a steampunk princess, and her increasingly dazed and happy expression...
The dying Seele couldn't help but swallow hard: for someone like her, who was similar to Black Seele, whether it was the pink and tender Seele, or the ever-changing Yun, or even the scenes and atmosphere of them being affectionate with each other, they were all things that could make her eyes sparkle...
Ugh! I'm so itchy, I really want to stick them together!
However, having just been tricked by Seele, she couldn't bring herself to back down!
Yun Fuyu pulled out a new set of cat ears and waved to the withered Seele. "Dear Seele, did you drop these black cat ears?"
"...Is that right...?"
With gritted teeth, hope squeezed out those two words, then humiliatingly (?) accepted the cat-ear decorations and put them on her head...
Yun Fuyu nodded in satisfaction: Pokédex collection successful! Two Seele Cats acquired!
He took the hands of the two Seele cats: "Let's go, our cherry blossom picking activity is about to begin!"
Seele and Death Seele exchanged a glance, looking at each other's cat ears, and both lowered their heads awkwardly, obediently following behind someone... So what kind of play is this?
Ugh! This stench is overwhelming!
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
"I had a dream, a very long and very interesting dream."
What kind of dream was it?
she says:
The uncrowned god planted a seed, and the seed grew into a towering tree.
A towering tree collapsed with a crash, and a white flower sprouted from the ground atop the tree's remains.
The abyss erodes the great tree, and white flowers drift and fall with the flowing water.
The uncrowned god returned, carving the great tree into a divine crown, and gathering the white flowers of the Black Abyss to adorn it.
He chuckled: "That's a great story."
"Yeah, I think so too."
She smiled casually and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"The question of how to define the boundary between 'life and death'."
"That's too complicated and profound; even I might not be able to answer it."
"Really? Even an omniscient and omnipotent god doesn't know the answer to this question?"
"Don't try to put me down with your words." He wasn't buying it: "You want to know the answer? I'm not telling you."
Alicia was slightly agitated: "Why?"
He said, "Because the 'uncrowned god' has already put on the crown of divinity and is no longer human."
Alicia was speechless.
He countered, “Alishia, you once asked me whether the existence of a supreme god was unreasonable. Now it’s my turn to ask you—if I know that such a supreme god exists, should I entrust all the hidden truths to Him?”
"As the soul above the narrative, every word and action at this moment will influence the endless years to come and open up endless possibilities again."
He had done this countless times; this is what is known as the shifting of the world line.
His smile was serene: "So, if the world is once again altered and rewritten under her will, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
"Is this why you wouldn't answer me?...I understand."
Alicia was convinced. She remained silent for a moment, then stopped pressing the matter and said, "You have indeed not let down anyone in the world, but you have let down yourself the only one."
Her expression was mocking: "I can almost see a person who died from the collapse, and the zombies manipulate his body to stand up again, grinding their teeth and sucking their claws, their eyes glazed over, their whole body reeking of corpses, trying to reintegrate into human society."
After her sarcastic remarks, Alicia couldn't hide her sorrow again: "This time, I really can't do anything."
Because the person who is standing in my way is you.
"……ha."
"..."

At the same time, on the other side.
They laughed and joked along the way, admiring the not-so-beautiful scenery—since the arrival of the Third Herrscher, Changkong City has not yet recovered its former prosperity, let alone its urban landscape and greenery.
Fortunately, having my beloved by my side adds a lot of charm to everything. The sweetness is not much different from before, which sounds a bit plain, but the experience is quite different.
Seele clasped her hands together and prayed silently: She hoped that there would still be cherry trees surviving in the botanical garden and that the cherry blossoms would still be in full bloom, so that they wouldn't have made a wasted trip.
Script enthusiast Seele said that she would go crazy if the script didn't go as planned!
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the botanical garden on foot. Xi'er nervously closed her eyes, clutching Yun Fuyu's sleeve as she asked, "How is it? Is it beautiful here? Are there cherry blossoms?"
Yun Fuyu touched his chin and couldn't help but click his tongue softly.
The situation is very bad.
It's not beautiful at all.
There are no living cherry trees or cherry blossoms.
The once magnificent botanical garden has fallen into disrepair in Changkong City. Who would bother to maintain it? Seele's hopes that the botanical garden would still be in full bloom with cherry blossoms were ultimately dashed.
Seele couldn't help but tug at his sleeve again: "...So, is it disappointing?"
Just as Yun Fuyu was about to say something, a flash of pink caught his attention from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but wonder: Had Alicia secretly followed us? What was she planning to do?
But upon closer inspection, it was just an ordinary cherry tree with a few scattered cherry blossoms on its branches.
In the midst of utter desolation, amidst the many withered flowers, grasses, and trees, a pitiful speck of pink stood out so vividly and beautifully.
Yun Fuyu: "Don't open your eyes yet."
Seele: "Mm."
He took Seele's hand and led her toward the cherry tree.
The crunching sound as I stepped over the fallen leaves and twigs made it clear to everyone what the situation was like—definitely not the lush, verdant landscape I had imagined.
However, Seele kept her eyes closed and followed him all the way.
