[Epilogue]:
......
Qianqiu Baili's manifold disturbances, whether the King of Soldiers succeeds or fails, it's just starting all over again.
The rise of the people is suffering, the fall of the people is suffering; in grand narratives, individuals never evade the chains of history.
Devoured, concealed.
You came to this land not with noble ideals, but for your own interests.
Yet in practice, you chose the most practical path and followed it through to the end.
No one is born the greatest sage; moving forward silently is the majority.
The void's invasion was thwarted; for this planet, it is only just the beginning.
But when the common enemy is vanquished, will the remaining civilizations choose endless disputes or coexistence?
However it may be, you choose to leave the future to them.
Time will repeatedly destroy civilizations, but the flame of ideals will transcend time and continue endlessly.
Knowing the future is destined to be dark, yet moving forward with calm, is a supreme romanticism.
When you face the roaring thunder, no one deserves the title of hero more than you.
Hope always exists.
You are the romantic who enacts miracles.
