After a moment, Lu Li shook his head and said gently, "No, there's no need."
Hearing this, Focalors's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at him with confusion.
He explained softly, "If you're asking why, it's probably because I'm a rather special transmigrator. All I want is to try and make things have a perfect ending."
"A perfect ending... that's very difficult to achieve..." Focalors murmured after a moment of contemplation.
"How would you know if you can't do it if you don't even try..." Lu Li said, looking at Focalors with a complex expression.
In the original story, this Hydro Archon, in her grand scheme, ultimately faced the judgment of her own making.
By shattering her divinity, her divine throne, and her position, she enabled the Hydro Dragon, Neuvillette, to regain his full authority and save all of Fontaine from the rising Primordial Seawater caused by the All-Devouring Narwhal.
But the price was her own death.
The prisoner who had sat on the throne for five hundred years was finally free, but her hardship, torment, and great sacrifice were known to only a few.
This part of the story was deeply etched in Lu Li's memory. So, no matter what, he wanted to try and see if he could make the ending a little better.
He didn't have a solution right now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.
After all, Lu Li's All-Worlds' gift system had the ability to draw gifts from all worlds, and it was possible that one of those gifts could provide a turning point.
Meanwhile, hearing his words, Focalors pursed her lips slightly.
For some reason, she could see a resolute will in Lu Li's eyes, and it seemed to be directed at her?
Focalors could see the emotions swirling in Lu Li's gaze. As a former Oceanid who had ascended to divinity after Egeria, she could sense the emotions represented in a human's eyes.
Pity, sympathy, respect, and determination...
What a peculiar gaze. Why...
For a moment, Focalors's state of mind wavered.
After all, Lu Li was the first man to enter this world in five hundred years, and the first person to know so many of her secrets and be willing to stand by her side.
Focalors, who had not spoken to anyone for a long time, quietly planning and waiting in her own divine domain, now felt her heart stir and ache as she looked into Lu Li's eyes.
It was as if she had found someone she could confide in, but her subconscious told her she couldn't rely on him.
She took a deep breath, her expression returning to its usual calmness, and said softly, "Alright, Descender. I think it's time for you to leave. You can't stay here for long..."
Lu Li was slightly taken aback, then remembered that he was on a mission with Lynette when he was pulled here.
Realizing that, he knew Lynette must be in a state of panic in the real world.
At this thought, Lu Li's expression turned serious. Just then, he saw Focalors extend her hand towards him.
At the same time, a strange sensation on his skin, the feeling of being repelled by space, told him what Focalors was about to do.
He nodded slightly, preparing to return to the real world.
But just then, Focalors seemed to remember she had one more thing to ask.
And so, just before teleporting Lu Li out, the divine Archon asked softly, "By the way, you... haven't told me your name yet..."
"...Oh, right!"
Lu Li realized, and then said softly, "Focalors, my name is Lu Li. We will meet again!"
The Hydro Archon smiled faintly, and with a gentle wave of her hand, she sent Lu Li away.
Looking at the empty space before her, she let out a soft sigh and looked down at her bare feet.
Meet again, huh...
If we really can meet again, then... I will look forward to it...
—————— Scene Break ——————
When Lu Li recovered from the dizzying spell of teleportation, he heard an excited and joyful cry from a distance.
It was followed by a soft fragrance crashing into his arms like a returning swallow, forcing Lu Li to quickly embrace the person and take a step back to absorb the impact.
Looking at the cat-eared girl hugging him tightly, Lu Li's gaze softened. He gently patted Lynette's head and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, Lynette..."
At the same time, Lyney, now back in his own clothes, arrived late.
He looked at the two embracing with a bewildered expression, his brain overloading, unsure of what to process first.
Should he first ask where Lu Li had disappeared to for the past ten minutes?
Or should he ask when Lu Li and his sister had become so close?
Fortunately, at that moment, Lu Li also saw Lyney, who was stunned by the scene. He coughed awkwardly, gently pushed the cute cat-girl away, and then looked at Lyney and Lynette, asking with curiosity, "You two... so the magic show is over?"
"Of course it's over," Lyney said, pulling Lynette back with a protective hand. "Your sudden disappearance scared Lynette half to death, but after I calmed her down, we still managed to finish the magic show perfectly."
"However, regarding your disappearance, we immediately found the other 'Children' who were helping us after the show and reported your situation. Given their speed, Father should know by now..."
"By the way, Lu Li, where did you go just now?"
As Lyney explained the situation, Lu Li, who had a rough idea of what would happen next, nodded. Facing the curious gazes of the siblings, he could only say softly, "Mmm... I need to explain this matter to Father directly. I can't reveal a single word before that, or it could have serious consequences for the other party."
The two, who were about to press for details, immediately dropped the idea upon hearing that the consequences were severe.
At the same time, noticing Lynette's worried gaze, Lu Li secretly gave her a reassuring gesture.
With Lyney present, he couldn't whisper to Lynette in front of her brother. He would have to talk to her and comfort her properly later.
"Alright, Lyney. Since you've already reported the situation, I should go and meet with Father right away to give my report."
