Chapter 162 Even a Star God...
Chapter 162 Even a Star God...
"So...that's how it is."
Looking into Lu Li's determined gaze.
Kafka murmured.
Then.
Kafka withdrew her hand, stood up, and took two steps back to increase the distance between herself and Lu Li.
"I see."
"but……"
Kafka looked at Lu Li, her eyes filled with disappointment and... a profound sorrow that he couldn't understand.
"Ah Li, you are so...so gentle."
"Gentle to the point of being...cruel."
Done.
She turned away and stopped looking at him.
"Ms. Himeko, Mr. Walter."
Her voice returned to its usual elegance and composure, as if the person who had just lost control was merely an illusion.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I think I should take my leave now."
Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
They could sense it.
They seemed to have calmed down.
But Kafka now... is more dangerous than ever before.
"Ms. Kaffa..." Himeko wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kaffa.
"No need to say more."
Kafka's figure began to become illusory.
"Elio's script is still waiting for me."
"The Immortal Boat Luofu, there's another great show about to unfold."
"But from now on..."
Her gaze fell on Lu Li for the last time.
His eyes were gentle... yet obsessive.
"I will write my own life story."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure completely disappeared into the carriage.
Only one sentence lingered in the air.
"Ah Li, wait for me."
"This time, I will absolutely not let go again."
"Even the Star God... can no longer separate us."
Kafka left.
All that remained was a promise that lingered in the train carriage and a broken coffee table on the floor.
And a group of train crew members looking at each other in bewilderment.
"She... just left like that?" March 7th asked in disbelief.
"Look, it seems they've left." Xing nodded.
"Phew—" Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief and slumped onto the sofa.
I feel like I've just fought a world war.
Finally... we got rid of this plague.
However, Kafka left.
After relaxing, I remembered those images on the sky and felt a little sad again on March 7th.
Seeing March 7's dejected look, Xing sighed inwardly and could only pat her shoulder to comfort her.
Every now and then, she would cast a complicated glance at Lu Li.
There is sympathy and admiration.
There's something else that's hard to explain.
Dan Heng stood not far away with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Alright, it's all over now." Himeko stepped forward and gently patted March 7th's back in a gentle voice. "The curtain of heaven has fallen."
"But... Sister Himeko..." March 7th looked up, her eyes red like a rabbit's, "Why did it have to end like that... Bai Heng died, and Lu Li too... Waaah..."
"History cannot be changed, March." Walter adjusted his glasses, his voice low. "All we can do is remember."
Lu Li felt no relief at all as he listened to these words.
The curtain has fallen.
But his troubles... have only just begun.
The woman's last words and her cold, obsessive gaze still send chills down his spine.
What do you mean by "I write my own life story"?
What? "This time, I will absolutely not let go again."
What on earth is all this?!
Lu Li was completely overwhelmed.
He now seriously suspects that Elio's so-called script was a ruse from the very beginning.
That old schemer probably foresaw the appearance of the Sky Curtain and then conveniently passed the huge problem of Kafka directly to the Star Train, to him!
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
As expected, the train then headed to Luofu...
Lu Li sighed.
Can I really still live a leisurely life like a salted fish?
Just then, that familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind again.

A series of system notifications rang in Lu Li's mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.
He hadn't even had a chance to properly examine these newly acquired rewards.
A torrent of energy, even larger and purer than before, instantly surged into his limbs and bones.
This time, however, he was prepared and forced himself not to cry out.
Every cell in my body is cheering and jumping for joy.
It was as if they were welcoming the long-lost power back.
That familiar feeling returned, even stronger than before.
The pinnacle of high-level destiny travelers...
Their strength... has increased again.
Lu Li felt a mix of emotions as he experienced the gentle yet powerful force within his body.
On the one hand, increased power can indeed bring a sense of security.
But on the other hand, this also means that his salted fish life is getting further and further away from him.
"Sigh..." Lu Li sighed again.
"What's wrong, Lu Li?" Ji Zi noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." Lu Li quickly waved his hand, "It's just... I'm a little sentimental."
"Yes, I never imagined the truth behind the Moon Drinking Rebellion would be like this," Walter sighed. "What is recorded in history books is ultimately just the tip of the iceberg."
Silence fell upon everyone once again.
The tragedy of the Five Heroes of the Clouds had a profound impact on them.
After a long while, Himeko was the first to break the silence.
She looked at everyone and said seriously, "Everyone, we may not have time for sentimentality now."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"Do you remember what Kafka said earlier?" Himeko reminded her.
"The Immortal Ship Luofu erupted its star core forty-five system times ago."
