Sanctuary Starfield Journey

134-34 Reconciliation

When Nipawan turned 18, the Dark Star swept across the Light Zone, and as he had predicted, Blor returned once more; the miracle of Suloxin had befallen her.

Nipawan forcefully pushed away the man who was pressing down on her. In a flash of light, amidst the destruction, she was reborn.

Nipawan found Blore, who was chasing after her after putting on her trousers. Blore raised her hand and killed her. Nipawan told her that she wanted to join the Destroyer. After hearing her story, Blore felt deep sympathy and agreed. At the same time, Nipawan was also recruited as a special case. Blore then asked Renxing to help Nipawan extend her lifespan.

Nipawan was doing well on the Destroyer, but she was hostile towards people and didn't value human life, which resulted in her having no friends and always walking alone on the Destroyer, only having some interactions with the medic Mu Yun.

After seeing this, Chen Jiahong understood why she was so cold and all her motives.

In 13802937468, during a mission, Nipawan met his first friend, a genius scientist from the Gallimimus species named Paying. This name, of course, was given by Nipawan and means "Nipawan's baby."

Nipawan learned a great deal from Paying, things she hadn't wanted to know from Chen Jiahong: this wondrous universe, the omnipresent spiritual power, and... the willpower that Paying was researching.

Nipawan often took Nipayi with him, accompanying Paying to the Senhuo Palace and the Tianyin Empire. Those were the happiest years of her life.

In the Heavenly Yin Empire, Nipawan finally awakened her spiritual power with the "Crimson Lotus Blade," a weapon symbolizing her burning desire for revenge and her origins. It constantly seared the deepest pain in Nipawan's heart, fueling her thirst for power. The fiery red lotus consumed her reason.

Finally, Nipawan set her sights on the power of wills. She began to pester Paying relentlessly, but she was genuinely sincere and had already confessed her desires. Paying, not having fully understood it, dared not tell Nipawan, explaining that the power of wills was taboo and not suitable for obtaining power through this method. However, Nipawan persisted, and seeing that her earnest persuasion was futile, Paying began to consider leaving the Destroyer.

In the year 13975246810, Pa Ying finally couldn't bear Nipawan any longer and resolutely left the Destroyer. Under the cover of night, as the stars shimmered and breathed as usual, Nipawan awoke and, as usual, searched for Pa Ying, only to learn of her departure. He then packed his bags, preparing to leave the Destroyer with Nipawan, leaving this peaceful place behind, and sailing towards an unknown future filled with both hope and distortion.

Nipawan began researching the power of will on her own, isolating herself in the Forest Fire Palace. It must be said that Nipawan could indeed be called a genius; she ventured alone into the Great Forest Fire, becoming the first person to enter and find the Mother Tree of the World Tree—the "Forest Fire Divine Tree."

She broke off two branches from the divine tree. These branches would detach on their own, drift into space, absorb rifts, and grow into boundary trees. Therefore… her ability to single-handedly defeat two torn boundary domains demonstrates her undeniably high combat prowess.

Nipawan herself confirmed the Forest Fire Tree's official identity—a fragment of a dragon's creation, not the life-giving dragon as commonly believed. She also mastered the principles of willpower, deducing and analyzing it herself. She ground one branch of the World Tree into powder and used another to counteract willpower (absorption and severance), conducting experiments in multiple locations. Because of her existence, willpower returned to a cosmic perspective, and the Destroyer began cleaning up the mess.

While most powers were eyeing Earth, she was no exception. She abandoned the Land of Love, where she was conducting experiments on evil deeds, and instead devoted herself to another experimental site closest to Earth—the twin planets of Tianxing and Youlu. However, because Youlu was heavily developed while Tianxing remained largely undeveloped, she focused her efforts there. She also heard that Pa Ying was there, and Tianxing was where her dream of the Holy Land began.

Nipawan secretly sneaked in, gathering intelligence on Earth from time to time. He discovered that the people there were extremely prone to becoming addicted to games, so he began developing a game called Celestial, using a billion dollars in cash as a selling point. Nipawan copied Celestial into every line of code in the game and used the fifth principle of the Transformation-Second Order Theory, "Virtual Energy-Spirit," to connect Earth to a virtual carrier, and then to Celestial.

Just as Tianxing was about to be released, a change was about to occur. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but it was only the eve of disaster: Dongfang Quanfu set his sights on Earth, and a Tianyin Army tore apart the boundary of the simulated universe (a high-heat electromagnetic ring that refracts external light) and struck Earth directly!

Nipawan felt her hopes dashed; the evening breeze couldn't soothe her sorrow.

But... with the rise of Touhou Sega and the withdrawal of the Heavenly Shadow Army, "the power of Nipawan's will" will eventually arrive.

At the height of Tianxing's popularity, Nipawan used ethereal energy to bring everyone into Tianxing.

While collecting willpower and searching for Pa Ying, Nipawan discovers a sub-prison of the Star Prison lying underground. Nipawan senses an unprecedented threat—the Star Prison—and notices the Mo Bei Squad. She must proceed with caution, but fortunately, the crisis is quickly averted.

At this time, Nipawan also noticed that the newly established Eagle Empire had someone who wanted to build starships, Yu Hong.

In that accident, Nipayi died. Nipawan couldn't suppress his rage; the raging red lotus completely consumed his reason, forcing Mo Bei to choose between his grandfather and Earth. But Mo Bei chose to fight head-on. Then let him lose both, risking everything.

The decaying leaves swept up the stars in the sky, and Xinghan and the others were very worried. Chen Wenwu had been cultivating and had finally activated his ultimate technique. Pa Ying looked at the sky, rain mixed with tears, and pattered on the ground.

Earth was destroyed, and Nipawan was severely injured. Dragging his mangled body, he returned to Tianxing and sat by the sea where he and his brother were drinking juice. Paying leaned closer, and Nipawan slowly closed his eyes, leaving behind only the final words: "The power of will... isn't as bad as you think." The rain extinguished her last flame.

Because of her connection to the Cup of Memories, this statement was captured by another Cup of Memories. Virtual energy activated, and Nipawan's memories were recorded, only becoming available upon Mo Bei's arrival.

Chen Jiahong's eyes flickered slightly, and with a mental resonance, she gestured for Mo Bei to walk over.

Mo Bei remained silent after reading it. Nipawan's door was permanently closed, in a place no one ever visited.

Mo Bei felt sorry for Nipawan. Although this wasn't a memory he had personally experienced, seeing is believing, and the two reconciled at this moment.

It took Mo Bei a long time to recover from her grief.

The sea breeze swept away the dust from Nipawan's grave, mingling with raindrops that pattered against the small statue of Nipawan. Paying looked in that direction at the same time…
