Walking out of the gathering place in Beijing for an unknown number of kilometers, Wen Yu finally stopped when all the noise had dissipated.
Looking back, the distant gathering place of Beijing had vanished from sight, leaving only the Eternal Sky City shining with countless lights in the sky.
Brilliant and spectacular, it resembled an eternal, indestructible firework.
Unfortunately, although fireworks are beautiful, they are too hot to approach for ordinary people.
It was much like the relationship between the Eternal Sky City and the gathering place of Beijing, in relation to Wen Yu.
After standing still for a while, Wen Yu's feet remained unmoved.
Wen Yu was deep in thought...
Where exactly was he going?
...
It was a difficult choice.
Even though Wen Yu had clearly stated he wanted to travel the world, there had to be a sequence, right?
It was akin to a child running away from home, standing at the entrance of the neighborhood, feeling the boldness of "I will never return to that broken home," yet always feeling a sense of bewilderment like "drawing a sword and looking around aimlessly."
After a while, Wen Yu made up his mind.
...
Summoning One-Eyed, Star, and Victor, Wen Yu looked at the three little companions in front of him and let out a sigh of relief.
Who said he was lonely? Spirit pets can never betray their master!
"Star, grow larger."
Upon hearing Wen Yu's command, Star transformed into battle form while mumbling, "Big boss, where are we going?"
The three spirit pets clearly understood Wen Yu and their current situation, but unlike Wen Yu, this place was home for them.
"To be honest, I don't know where to go either..."
Wen Yu candidly revealed his current dilemma to the three spirit pets.
In an instant, the atmosphere became awkwardly silent with one person and three pets.
"How about going to Spain? Didn't the lady say it was a lot of fun there?" Victor casually remarked while licking his fur.
During this time, or rather, since he had notified Carmel about the disbandment of their little group, Carmel didn’t seem disappointed at all. Instead, she had repeatedly invited Wen Yu to Spain, asking what it was like there. She didn’t say much, appearing rather mysterious, but it was clear that Carmel was doing quite well.
However, considering what had happened recently and what Qin Tian said to him before leaving, Wen Yu didn’t even think twice before dismissing the option of going to Spain.
If he met Carmel, would she be in danger?
Going to Spain would just bring him back into that strange cycle—this suggestion was definitely not on Wen Yu's list of considerations!
Therefore, Wen Yu firmly shook his head at Victor.
...
After a while, Wen Yu finally made his final decision.
"Let’s go, Star, just fly wherever you want. When we see a treasure land, we’ll enter; when we see demonic creatures, we’ll kill them. As long as we are together, in this vast world, where can't we go?"
This was indeed true; with Wen Yu's current strength, there really was no absolute dead end in this world!
After speaking, Wen Yu hopped onto Star's back, holding One-Eyed and Victor, and then Star flapped its wings and flew off into the distance.
...
It was uncertain whether it was intentional or due to some strange factors, but Wen Yu quietly estimated Star's flight trajectory.
"Are you heading...?"
"Huh? What's wrong, big boss?"
"Nothing."
Wen Yu changed the topic.
Star's flight direction just so happened to be towards Northeast Huaxia.
Perceiving this scene, Wen Yu pondered slightly in his heart.
This seemed not to be a bad thing after all.
Star fell silent for a moment, perhaps sensing that it was unknowingly heading towards a familiar place, and with its mouth slightly open, asked hesitantly.
"Big boss, are we going back?"
"Yes, let’s go back. It’s good to take a look."
Wen Yu didn’t have much feeling about returning to M City.
After all, he was just a passerby there.
However, for Star, and perhaps even for One-Eyed, the feeling there was different.
That was where they were born.
