Chapter 938: Final Chapter

Consciousness seems to be drifting in chaos.

It feels like a long dream was had, where many things seemed to happen, but effective thinking was impossible.

—It seems like there were many people shouting, running on the ground...

—Like the sky and earth were spinning, and the whole world was vibrating with a sorrowful lament...

—Inevitably, there’s a bit of panic inside, yet it’s unclear what exactly happened, as if the brain can only passively accept information without being able to actively process it...

Who knows how much time has passed when suddenly a rapid sense of falling emerges, as if breaking away from a state of all movement stopped, and gravity abruptly recaptures your existence, creating a feeling of plummeting from high altitude in a dream.

With a swift blink of wide-open eyes, Yatsugaya Miko instantly awoke.

She felt herself come out in a cold sweat.

"Hu... hu..."

The girl slightly panted, her somewhat bewildered eyes opening wide yet still a bit hazy, staring straight ahead, then realizing she seemed to be in a pavilion, currently leaning on the railing, seemingly having just fallen asleep.

"Uh, this, this..."

The surrounding scenery is beautiful, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a scene of a human immortal realm. Distant green mountains undulate, peaks layer upon layer, mist shrouding, resembling a beautiful landscape painting. This valley seems set in the embrace of the highest peak, with waterfalls, clear springs, streams, bamboo forests...

And from this pavilion, one can also see from afar the large lake at the foot of the mountain, truly a picturesque view of lake and mountains.

The expansive misty waves, like jade among the mountains, or perhaps a tranquil mirror.

The villages encircling the lakeshore present a scene of natural beauty, houses stretching continuously, lined up in rows, all wooden cabins, like those pure natural ecosystems in rural areas, lacking much modern atmosphere.

Such a scene fills the eyes, brimming with peacefulness, serenity, and a comforting atmosphere—

This environment really is a marvel of earthly beauty, naturally easing the girl’s tension swiftly and thoroughly. She unconsciously let out a long and forceful sigh, gazing dazedly at the scene before her, after a while finally seeming to accept reality.

Meanwhile, confusion arises within her.

Why would she appear here?

Previously, exactly... what happened?

Perhaps it was a subconscious thought, she quickly recalls, scenes flashing in her mind, her complexion subtly changing, and she becomes somewhat dazed, blankly staring ahead—mainly because the recall is very simple and very smooth.

But precisely because it’s too simple and smooth, the memory is too clear.

Therefore...

The girl can’t help but wonder if this was perhaps a dream she just had? Maybe the dream was too real, leading her just after waking to misunderstand it due to her poor mental state, thinking it was an event that had truly happened?

Uh, it must be something like that...

Just now, she was actually dreaming... perhaps it was just a fantasy.

If it was a dream, then it makes sense, explaining why the world changes so quickly, leaving no time for reaction... even the events happening were so terrifying, leaving one breathless, starting with the Killing Stone shattering, then the emergence of the Nine-tailed Fox, to the Human World facing extinction.

Recalling everything from just now in the dream, she realizes that everything seemed to be rapidly deteriorating, always moving in the worst direction.

—It was entirely a nightmare.

With thoughts somewhat turbulent in her mind, Yatsugaya Miko couldn’t help but wonder anew.

If she was dreaming earlier, then what exactly is going on now? Why did she appear here, and before dreaming, what did she do that led to her waking here... emmmm, could it be a study trip?

"Awake, I see..."

A calm voice comes from nearby, with a very familiar clear tone.

"Teacher?"

Yatsugaya Miko was taken aback, hurriedly turning around, then her expression suddenly froze completely.

She found outside the pavilion, a familiar figure, holding something, leisurely walking over, followed by another figure, one that left a deep impression even in the nightmare, trailing behind a grand Nine-tailed Unparalleled Demoness!

"..."

"..."

"Have something to eat, at least to replenish some Physical Strength. Feeling very tired now, aren’t you?" Gu Mo entered the pavilion, noting the JK girl’s expression, automatically ignoring her frozen face and pupils constricted to the extreme, nodding to himself, then setting down the plate he held.

"...Mm."

Despite the confusion in her head, Mikko heard the words, still biting her lip and hesitantly nodded her head.

She indeed felt very tired, fatigue weighing on her body, somewhat unable to understand, as if filled with lead-like heaviness.

"It’s not a big problem, just a bit drained, eating something will do." Casually sitting down across, Gu Mo spoke naturally.

Despite the girl’s earlier supernormal performance, besides the state of resonating with inhibition, there was another crucial factor—
