Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 418 Sweet Smile

The seal was shaking violently, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could go out at any time. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li had beads of sweat on their foreheads, their faces were pale, but their eyes were getting more determined. The remaining consciousness of the God of Darkness was like an invisible beast, madly attacking their spiritual world, trying to drag them into an endless abyss.

"Xingchen, do you still remember the first time we met?" Nanli's voice rang in Gao Xingchen's mind, like a flowing spring, dispelling the haze around him.

Gao Xingchen was startled, and his thoughts were pulled back to that night many years ago. At that time, he was still a young boy who had just started out and had mistakenly entered a dangerous situation. It was Nanli who was like a goddess descended from the sky and pulled him back from the brink of death.

"I will never forget the light in your eyes. It is hope and salvation..." Gao Xingchen murmured to himself, with a warm feeling in his heart.

Then, familiar scenes flashed through their minds like a kaleidoscope: fighting side by side in the forest of death, supporting each other in the abyss of despair, making a lifelong commitment under the starry sky... Every test of life and death made their feelings deeper and their beliefs more firm.

"Xingchen, we have been through so much. Our love and our faith, aren't they enough to defeat this evil force?" Nanli's voice was full of power, like the light of morning light, illuminating Gao Xingchen's heart.

"Yes! Our love and our belief will never lose!" A dazzling light burst out from Gao Xingchen's eyes. It was the light of hope and victory.

They hugged each other tightly, their two hearts tightly attached to each other, their love and faith turned into a powerful force, gathered into a dazzling beam of light, breaking through the shackles of darkness and directly hitting the remaining consciousness of the God of Darkness.

"Ah!" The remaining consciousness of the God of Darkness let out a shrill scream, and the sealing barrier instantly stabilized, shining brightly. The ancient spell echoed in the temple, and the power of the stars surged like a tide, completely sealing the remaining consciousness of the God of Darkness.

The moment the sealing ceremony was completed, the entire Nine Star Realm was enveloped by the power of the stars. The originally gloomy sky became bright, and the warm sunlight shone on the earth. All things revived and were full of vitality. The remaining consciousness of the God of Darkness completely disappeared, and the world returned to its former peace and prosperity.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li slowly opened their eyes and looked at the familiar yet strange world in front of them, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that peace was the result of the sacrifices and contributions of countless people, and they were just doing what they should do.

"We succeeded..." Nanli said softly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Gao Xingchen gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and said softly: "Yes, we succeeded. From now on, the Nine Star Realm will usher in true peace, and no one will be able to break this tranquility..."

They stood side by side at the highest point of the temple, overlooking the entire Nine Star Realm, bathing in the warm sunshine. At this moment, they were heroes and guardians, and their names would be forever remembered in the history of the Nine Star Realm...

In the sealed place, the power of light slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The two of them stood side by side, their clothes a little messy, but they could not hide their grace. Gao Xingchen's eyes were shining with star-like light, which was the perseverance and indifference after going through hardships; Nan Li returned to her former coldness, but the faint smile at the corner of her mouth revealed her joy at the moment.

"It's over..." Someone sighed first, breaking the silence. Then, cheers came like waves, lasting for a long time.

"Long live Lord Xingchen! Long live Lord Nanli!"

"Long live peace!"

People raised their arms high, their faces filled with joy of surviving the catastrophe and respect for the heroes. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, these two names were endowed with legendary colors at this moment, and they will be forever remembered in the history of the Nine Star Realm and become eternal legends.

Gao Xingchen looked around at the cheering crowd, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that this victory belonged to all those who fought for it. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he felt a soft hand gently holding his hand.

Nan Li turned to look at him, her eyes as gentle as water: "Xingchen, we have brought peace to the Nine Stars Realm, but this peace needs to be protected."

Gao Xingchen understood what she meant and nodded, "You are right. We need a symbol, a symbol that can always remind people to cherish peace and protect hope."

"Tower of Stars!" Nan Li's voice was clear and firm.

Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up: "Okay! Let's build the Star Tower! It will stand in the center of the Nine Star Realm, protecting this land and allowing light to last forever!"

Their proposal was supported by everyone. Soon, the best craftsmen and magicians in the Nine Stars Realm gathered together to build the Star Tower. With their most exquisite skills and the most pious hearts, they integrated their expectations for peace and admiration for heroes into this giant tower that symbolizes hope.

At this time, Pharmacist Li and Ling'er, who were watching all this silently in the crowd, were also filled with joy and expectation. They believed that under the protection of the Star Tower, the future of the Nine Star Realm would be even better. Ling'er looked at Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, suddenly pulled Pharmacist Li's sleeve, and whispered: "Grandpa Li, I want to plant flowers around the Star Tower, okay?"

Pharmacist Li touched her head kindly and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do as you say..."

Pharmacist Li stroked Ling'er's hair lovingly, his eyes full of doting: "Okay, I'll do as you say. Our Ling'er is such a kind and good child. You and Grandpa will create this sea of flowers together."

As soon as he said it, Pharmacist Li took Ling'er to every corner of the Nine Stars Realm, looking for the most beautiful and rare flower species. They climbed over mountains, passed through dense forests, waded through rivers, and their footprints were all over the continent. Wherever they went, Pharmacist Li would patiently explain to Ling'er the habits and characteristics of various flowers, as well as how to plant and maintain them. Ling'er was like a happy little bird, shuttling through the sea of flowers, infecting everyone she met with her innocent smile.

Thanks to their efforts, the area around the Star Tower gradually became a sea of flowers. Colorful flowers bloomed one after another, red like fire, white like snow, pink like clouds, and yellow like gold, making the originally solemn and majestic Star Tower more majestic, yet more gentle and romantic.

On the day when the sea of flowers was completed, the heads of the Gao family and the Nan family came hand in hand. Looking at the vibrant scene before them, both old men showed gratified smiles on their faces.

"Xingchen and Nanli are truly the lucky stars of our Nine Star Realm!" said the head of the Gao family with emotion, "They not only brought us peace, but also gave us hope."

The head of the Nan family nodded in agreement: "Yes, now that the Dark God has been sealed, the Nine Star Realm has ushered in unprecedented peace and prosperity. It is time for us old guys to unload our burdens and enjoy our old age."

The head of the Gao family turned to look at the head of the Nan family, with a sly look in his eyes: "Old Nan, you see, our two families are old friends, and now Xingchen and Nanli are in love, why don't we..."

The Nan family leader immediately understood what he meant and laughed, "Hahaha, great minds think alike! I've wanted to tell you this for a long time. Our two families will become relatives. From now on, the Gao family and the Nan family will be one family, jointly protecting the peace and prosperity of the Nine Star Realm!"

As soon as the two family heads finished speaking, warm applause and cheers rang out from all around. People sent their blessings to Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, hoping that they could stay together forever and grow old together.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at this scene, their hearts filled with emotion and happiness. They knew that their love had been recognized and blessed by everyone.

And right under the Star Tower, an even grander scene was quietly brewing. A wedding that would be engraved in the history of the Nine Star Realm was about to begin...

Under the Star Tower, the sea of flowers is full of fragrance. Today, this place is no longer a solemn place for cultivation, but a palace to witness love. Gao Xingchen is dressed in red, handsome and tall, like a god of war bathed in fire, but his eyes are full of gentle smiles. Nan Li is dressed in a white dress, pure and elegant, like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, with a happy arc at the corner of her lips.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they walked hand in hand to the high platform built in the middle of the sea of flowers. There, the heads of the Gao and Nan families sat upright, their faces showing unconcealed relief and joy. Pharmacist Li and Ling'er stood aside, their eyes shining with tears of blessing.

"Today, we are here to witness the love between Xingchen and Nanli, and also to witness the arrival of eternal peace in the Nine Star Realm!" The loud voice of the head of the Gao family resounded through the sky, with irrepressible excitement.

After the simple ceremony, Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li affectionately, held her hand, and said solemnly: "Li'er, I love you, and we will never be apart in this life."

Nan Li's eyes moved, and the smile on her lips was brighter than the flowers all over the mountains: "Xingchen, I love you too, for all eternity, and I will never let you down."

Their vows echoed between heaven and earth, and were deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.

The banquet began, and amidst the cheerful music, everyone toasted to celebrate and gave the most sincere blessings to the newlyweds. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li shuttled among the crowd, accepting blessings from all sides, with happy smiles on their faces.

Pharmacist Li looked at the perfect couple, smiled kindly and said to Ling'er, "Ling'er, you see, this is the power of love. It can overcome all difficulties and create all miracles."

Ling'er nodded, not quite understanding. She was still young and didn't know what love was, but she knew that as long as she saw her brother and sister happy, she would be happy.

As night fell, the sky was full of stars, and countless lights were lit in the sea of flowers, just like the stars in the sky falling into the mortal world, which was beautiful beyond measure. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side on the top of the Star Tower, overlooking the land they protected, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Xingchen, we finally did it," Nanli leaned on Gao Xingchen's shoulder and said softly, "The God of Darkness has been sealed, and the Nine Star Realm has ushered in true peace."

"Yes, we did it," Gao Xingchen hugged Nan Li in his arms, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, "But the burden on our shoulders is still heavy, and the Heart of the Stars still needs us to protect it."

"I know," Nan Li raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes, "We will keep guarding until the last moment of our lives."

Gao Xingchen lowered his head, kissed Nan Li's forehead, and said softly: "Li'er, let's put all this aside for the time being, okay? Let's enjoy some time that belongs only to the two of us, to see the beautiful scenery in this world, to taste the delicious food in this world..."

Nan Li was slightly stunned, then she smiled sweetly and nodded slightly...
