Their eyes met.
"My love, still as beautiful as ever," the Immortal Blade smiled.
Qiu Yu was bewildered.
This way of speaking?
As if the Immortal Blade retained his memories.
"Avery Snow... you... still remember?"
Avery Snow nodded.
"Yes."
"How is it possible...? Even though I was on the brink of death, I still felt you give me the spirit pearl..."
Avery Snow removed her hat.
Allowing her tightly bound hair to fall loose.
"For me, a new Cycle hasn't begun."
Avery Snow's hair revealed its true color, a silvery white.
Glistening amidst the countless blue flames around.
Qiu Yu was astonished.
She didn't understand.
Avery Snow understood what she was thinking, taking steps closer.
Qiu Yu's face was now flushed.
Gazing at the person she loved more than anyone else.
Those gentle hands embraced her warmly.
Delivering the utmost tenderness to warm her body.
"I will tell you slowly."What I want the most right now... is just to hold you in my arm."
Avery Snow closed her eyes, quietly savoring the moment.
Qiu Yu also closed her eyes, reaching out to embrace Avery Snow.
Both felt each other's warmth.
Silent seconds passed like this.
The endlessness of a moment.
Suddenly, Avery Snow's body trembled.
She quietly let go of Qiu Yu.
"Unfortunately, I can only hold you for this long."
Qiu Yu seemed to understand.
"You are..."
Avery Snow nodded.
"That's right. A fragment."
In an instant, the trembling body split into two people.
One was the male Immortal Blade from the past.
And the other was the female Immortal Blade of now.
Then immediately, they merged back into one.
"My fragments from two lifetimes have now fused into one."
"I am the final opponent of the Tomb of The Immortal Blade."
Qiu Yu was stunned.
"Then... where is the current you, right now?"
Avery Snow shook her head.
"Not allowed to exist yet."
"The heavenly path can only have one Immortal Blade at a time."
"Until I die, the me in this Cycle is not allowed to exist."
"Only when the Tomb of The Immortal Blade is completed, and I return to the cycle of reincarnation, can the Immortal Blade be reborn."
Qiu Yu remained silent.
Not knowing what to say.Avery Snow gently reached out and tucked her hair back.
She softly removed the veil from her face.
"You are still so breathtaking. I wish I could keep looking at you forever."
Stolen story; please report.
Qiu Yu quietly rushed to embrace him.
Avery Snow could only sigh and accept it.
The embrace continued until Avery Snow's body trembled again, then stopped.
"This young man here, is he your disciple?"
Avery Snow looked at the attire No One was wearing.
"Yes. A fool like you."
She wiped away her tears with her hand.
Avery Snow placed her hand on No One's chest.
"What's your name?"
"No One."
"No One, please take care of her until I return."
He nodded.
"When I meet you at the Tomb of The Immortal Blade, please show me mercy."
So, the final boss of the Tomb of The Immortal Blade will be the true Immortal Blade.
I really don't know how to defeat that.
"I'm not sure I can hold back then," Avery Snow smiled.
"But for now, I'll give this world my blessing."
"I hope everyone will protect this world together."
A light emanated from No One.
Then the Immortal Blade raised her hand to the sky.
All the azure flames of the City of Azure Flames blazed intensely, then were drawn to the Immortal Blade's hand.
The Sea of Flames was thus drained away.
All those flames transformed into a burning sword in Avery Snow's hand.
At that moment, the City of Azure Flames was shrouded in darkness, with only the sword providing light.Many Mages immediately appraised the item.
【Azure Flame Divine Sword】 【Identification level insufficient.】
"I am Avery Snow. The creator of the City of Azure Flames."
"I will be both an ally and an enemy to you all."
"The Fate of This World, Will Be Decided By You."
The sword flashed.
It cast light over the entire City of Azure Flames.
Avery Snow plunged the sword into the ground.
The flames surged, weaving through the bricks and illuminating every path in the place.
The once familiar azure flames were gone.
Before everyone's eyes were countless stars floating in the sky.
Emitting magnificent light that shone upon the city.

【Location Renamed: The City of Hope - Qiu Yu City, as modified by Avery Snow】
Qiu Yu blushed.
No One was taken aback.
So cheesy.
Excessively cheesy.
How can someone who's lived so long be this cheesy!?
Then
Almost simultaneously.
Numerous notifications appeared.
Every player had a notification pop up in front of them.
Accompanied by a collective gasp.
"Wow..."
"S-Storyline."
"MAIN STORYLINE!!!!!!!!!!"
Many players at that moment were moved to tears.
It was just too beautiful!!!
【MAIN STORYLINE】
【EPISODE 1: TOMB OF THE IMMORTAL BLADE】
【To let the Immortal Blade rest once more.】
【Immortal Blade: 0/1】
【Task to be undertaken by all players.】
【Reward: Unlock Episode 2】
【Reward: Unlock many new features】
Along with this, a notification appeared for everyone.
【Blessing of Avery Snow: Level 79 unlocked. Ultimate Skill and Almighty Technique systems activated. Meet your faction leader to learn.】
What?
AAAAAAAAAAAA?
This is crazy!!
Wasn't it supposed to be that Level 79 could only be reached after completing the Godlike dungeon?
Why is it directly unlocked now???
Everyone shouted in disbelief.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
MaGold, at that moment, was so furious that he was pulling out his own hair.
Mujou laughed uncontrollably at the scene.
Yet, in his heart, he felt a tinge of regret.
Can I take it back? This glory is just too much.
Since the game launched, the level cap had always been 69.
And it's unlocked just like that?
Suddenly, a letter appeared before all players.
"Message from DMG"
"I am Tofu, the person responsible for the gameplay of the game.
First of all, I truly apologize for this unexpected incident.
Level 79 was indeed intended for after the Tomb of The Immortal Blade dungeon was completed.
With each Boss defeated in the Tomb of The Immortal Blade, the flames surrounding the Immortal Blade would gradually diminish.
The game design team never expected that a player would actually charge through the Sea of Flames. The Hidden Storyline was originally expected to be completed only after players had reached the final Boss of the Tomb of The Immortal Blade."
What?
Huh?
Everyone had a big question mark.
"So, are you considering this a bug?"
"Don't tell me you’re going to take it back?"
"No way! This level 79 is mine now! No takebacksie !"
Suddenly, a giant screen appeared in the sky above the City of Azure Flames.
The person on the screen was Tofu.
Of course, only the players could see it.
"Of course, once given, it won’t be taken back."
Tofu smiled happily.
"Honestly, at this moment, I resent the person in the development team who kept nagging me to Buff the Musician and Buff the Bard. It forced me to adjust their skills before fully testing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed this to happen."
"But, now that it has happened, seeing everyone here, I find myself happy too."
"I just want to say, the future of the First World is decided by the players."
"What has happened, all participating players did not use any third-party software, nor did they exploit any bug. This is a legitimate defeat of the DMG."
"If the director punishes me, I will accept it. Rest assured, nothing will change! Avery Snow's blessing is yours!"
Cheering erupted once more.
This is amazing! Absolutely amazing!!!
Everyone was thrilled once again.
Of course, no one in the Moonlight Clan could contain their emotions.
Cheers echoed throughout the city.
"Truly deserving of the name City of Hope," Avery Snow smiled as the sounds resonated everywhere.
"Alright!"
Avery Snow plopped down onto the ground.
She patted the ground beside her, gesturing for Qiu Yu to sit down too.
"Now, tell me everything that has happened during this time!"
"I can't wait another second!"
Qiu Yu laughed.
"You silly fool, alright! I'll indulge you."
No One looked at the two of them.
A beautiful scene.
"Disciple has matters to attend to, so I must leave first. I'll let you, Master, and Mistress have your fun time."
"Get lost!!!" Qiu Yu blushed.
The scoundrel, did you dare tease your Master?
Avery Snow chuckled.
"Alright! Go and focus on your training, I'll see you soon at the Tomb of The Immortal Blade."
No One raised his hand in a salute.
"As you command!"
A new chapter in the First World had begun.
That day, everyone passing through the square in Qiu Yu City smiled.
There was a beautiful couple sitting in the middle of the square, chatting non-stop.
The faces of the two were filled with happiness.
Like nothing matters anymore.
They have met eachother, once again.
