To prevent the Preservator system from being hijacked by the Observers, the plan did not choose to use pure artificial intelligence as the terminal of the Preservator project. Instead, it chose to upload Trevor Friston of the Third Research Institute to the terminal, making the Preservators half-human and half-intelligent beings.

This approach was correct; however, a problem that was raised at the beginning of the plan has indeed occurred.

In the more than thirteen thousand years of waiting, Trevor Friston, possessing his own personality, fell into despair. His words traveled through all the satellites and space, through every tunnel and the angle between stars, but the universe offered no response. I prayed to the pitch-black despair for tens of thousands of years, and the only thing I heard was the echo of destruction.

Finally, Trevor Friston had to accept the fact that their civilization had indeed been destroyed, and all facilities and systems had entered a state of self-isolation and maintenance, awaiting reopening by future generations.

"In this dark bunker, I have called out countless times, but there has been no response. I don't know if any civilization can hear my cries. The Observer has blocked all intelligence."

"Don't get me wrong, Trevor Friston, I'm not here to witness yet another friend's death."

Mei Xue's tail swayed gently as he spoke, his tone tinged with self-reproach, apology, and even more sadness. He had seen too many people go and witnessed too much destruction. Su Xue'er had always worried that Mei Xue would fall into another kind of obsession after losing her. If he realized that he would have no one of his kind left and no one could stay with him forever, he would sink deeper and deeper into loneliness if he couldn't get rid of it in time.

"For some reason, I chose not to interfere with the observers and chose to witness the destruction of your civilization. But now, I have removed the barriers on all the planets. From now on, I am the only observer in this world. Your civilization has not been destroyed."

"You chose to interfere?"

"No, I did not choose to interfere. In that situation, I could not significantly alter fate, so I chose to create a new world directly."

As Mei Xue spoke, her tails swayed uncontrollably. Back then, she had no choice but to watch her friends perish one by one. With only eight tails, Mei Xue could not influence the entire timeline. The destruction of the previous civilization was an extremely important anchor point in fate. Su Xue'er did not allow her to intervene because she knew that once Mei Xue interfered with this fate, even if the previous civilization was saved, this world would have no future.

"A new world will have a new future, new possibilities. Trevor Friston, old man, open your eyes and see this new world."

Energy—Friston sensed the energy around him rising and flowing into his energy storage device, which had been nearly depleted.

"The new Terra belongs to them. As for you all, go home."

Friston judged that Mei Xue was serious when she said that, but there was still one thing he couldn't let go of.

"Doing these things... doesn't come without a price, does it?"

"Yes."

The little fox nodded honestly; the price he paid was indeed considerable.

"I have lost an older sister forever."

"...I see."

Friston suddenly understood that perhaps it was Su Xue'er's death that prompted Mei Xue to do these things regardless of everything. The relationship between the two siblings was very complicated. They relied on each other, supported each other, and worried about what would happen to the other without them. However, they were also each other's shackles.

Mei Xue restrains Su Xue'er, preventing her from heading towards self-destruction; Su Xue'er restrains Mei Xue, preventing him from acting without considering the consequences.

However, after losing Su Xueer, Mei Xue also lost the shackles that restrained him. He began to want to change the world at all costs, until finally choosing this way to create a brand new world.

"As time goes by, we always lose something important, but we also know that we can become something that others lose..."

Friston stopped talking. He knew that his words did not apply to Mei Xue, because this little fox was only behaving like a human, which did not mean that it would be bound by human rules. Naturally, it did not have a lifespan, and he could only watch the people he cherished die.

"I've always had a question, Mei Xue. Su Xue'er once said that death is inevitable and that the lines of fate vary in length and thickness. So why did you choose to give them a new world?"

"Because... death shouldn't be like that."

Perhaps to retaliate against Friston for mentioning his height, the little fox added a huge amount of sugar cubes to his coffee right in front of him, which gave Friston an urge to bump into him. This little fox didn't seem as well-behaved as before.

“Hunger, cold, war, disease… Humans are too fragile and too easy to die. I accept the fact that people die, but I don’t want them to die like this.”

"Strive to live out your short life and accept your end calmly and naturally, whether it is good or bad. At least when you look back on your life on your deathbed, you will not feel pain."

"...Ha, you really know how to say things like that."

Friston couldn't help but sigh. If someone else had said this, he would have found it hypocritical or laughable. However, since it was Mei Xue, it was impossible to refute.

The little fox had the ability to do this, and the right not to do it. He chose to give everyone a new world simply because he liked everyone in the old world. Because he was destiny, destiny must be fair. Therefore, he was not indifferent to everyone equally, but rather held the same love in his heart.

"By the way, Friston, do you hate me?"

"To not hate, to attribute the destruction of one's own civilization to fate, is a sign of cowardice and incompetence. We struggled, we resisted, so why hate you? If it weren't for you, would this planet still exist?"

Hatred was meaningless; Friston only felt fortunate that, after ten thousand years of waiting, everything had come to a not-too-bad end.

"That's good. Oh, by the way, will you be attending my wedding?"

New World 48. Joyful Daily Life

After ending her conversation with the villagers (which was really just a boast), the old lady returned to her home.

The adorable little child was nowhere to be seen. Only Talulah had climbed onto the house with a ladder, seemingly adding some thatch. The old woman then remembered that the heavy rain last week had blown away the thatch in that area, but since it hadn't rained much lately, she, being an elderly woman, couldn't easily repair it, so she had temporarily put it aside.

I was originally planning to ask for help later, but Talulah actually did it all herself, and she seemed to be working very efficiently.

New World 49. Talulah Wants to Be a Good Mother

At night, after eating and drinking her fill, Mei Xue wasn't particularly reserved despite having another person present. After cleaning up the dishes, the little fox naturally came to Talulah's side, nestled into her arms, and finally snuggled against her thigh before drifting off to sleep.

Tonight is the last night of repairing the new world. All the work needs to be completed, so the little fox needs to devote himself to it and can't stay with Talulah for the time being.

"It's been so long since I've seen Mei Xue like this. She's still so adorable."

Mei Xue likes to hug his tail when he sleeps, and Talulah couldn't resist reaching out to scratch his face.

New World Fifty: Schemes of Various Parties to Arrest a Bride

"Thank you, Grandma. We'll come again next time."

Early the next morning, Talulah and Meixue packed their things and prepared to say goodbye.

"Oh, come again next time, Grandma will cook something delicious for you."

Although she was reluctant to part with them, the old lady didn't try too hard to keep Mei Xue and Talulah. However, she did glare at Talulah before they left, making the latter scratch her head somewhat embarrassed. She had learned a lot of lessons from the old lady the night before.

"Here, Grandma doesn't have anything too fancy here, but take this fruit with you."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Mei Xue didn't.

New World May Day - A wedding venue!

She was getting married. No matter how many times she had imagined this scene before, no matter how many times she had told herself it, when this day was really about to arrive, Talulah's heart was still beating much faster than usual.

After learning that Mei Xue had chosen this place as her wedding location, she was both surprised and surprised, but also felt it was only natural. She couldn't have guessed it would be this place; it just meant she didn't know Mei Xue well enough.

"I'm such an idiot, why didn't I think of this place?"

With a long sigh, he turned around and hugged Mei Xue's waist, and the two lay down on the bed together.

Talulah buried her head in Mei Xue's hair, breathing softly. Today, the little fox smelled of roses. Perhaps because the wedding was approaching, Mei Xue herself was unconsciously influenced by it.

"I'm still very smart, right?"

The little fox shifted its body towards the foot of the bed, then leaned back, resting its head on the familiar softness. The little fox didn't feel anything about Talulah not guessing its plans; it only felt proud.

"Yes, but... if it were Miss Doctor, would she be able to guess what you're thinking?"

Miss Doctor, someone who has been by Mei Xue's side since before the fate of this world began to turn. Talulah envies the tacit understanding and deep trust between Mei Xue and the Doctor. She has not yet reached that level. Although Mei Xue can trust her unconditionally, she cannot completely trust Mei Xue. At least she could not have guessed that Mei Xue would choose this place as the venue for her wedding.

"If it's the doctor, no, she must have already guessed it, after all, that person is just like that."

"But I'm so jealous, darling~"

After rubbing against Mei Xue several times, Talulah's tone inevitably carried a hint of jealousy. Although she knew that she and the Doctor were about the same in Mei Xue's heart, Talulah's jealousy came from herself.

"She understands you better than I do, she can guess what you're thinking, while I... I don't even know where our wedding will be held, even though the answer is so simple."

"Ugh, but didn't you say you're a big idiot, sister? The Doctor is a smart person, so it's normal that you couldn't guess it... Waaah!"

Before Mei Xue could finish speaking, Talulah covered her mouth with her hand. Talulah wished she could press this little fox to her chest and suffocate her. Just now, she was just complaining. How could this stupid little fox take it seriously?

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Then there will be no surprise."

Mei Xue twitched her ears and rubbed her cheeks; Talulah's pinching still felt very uncomfortable.

"This is our first real home, so shouldn't we hold our wedding here?"

"Yes, but... won't the Sherag people be affected?"

Yes, this is Sherag, the place where Meixue and Talulah held their wedding. Back then, Talulah and Meixue embarked on their first journey together, visiting so many places, but this place was undoubtedly the most memorable of all.

Here, Talulah and Meixue had their first real home of their own, a very ordinary house.

The firewood burning in the fireplace crackled intermittently, but Talulah kept the fire under control as she snuggled closer to her lover.

Talulah's concerns were not unfounded. With the abilities of those Mei-Xue fans, leveling a place like Kjerag, which wasn't very big, would be incredibly easy, especially for someone like Surtr who had a wide-range AOE skill.

"It's alright, Sister Yela has agreed to lend us the territory, and tomorrow morning the people of Sherag will head directly to the real New World. Even if the sisters and everyone else start making a fuss, no one will get hurt."

The little fox knew what Talulah was worried about, and he also knew what his sisters wanted to do, but he believed that everyone would keep things within reasonable limits and not go too far.

For safety reasons, after tonight everyone who wasn't invited to the wedding will go directly to the adjusted new world. Even if the Rhodes Island girls tear down the land beneath their feet, the little fox won't need to do anything.

However, it must be said that the feeling of finishing all the work and not having to worry about anything is really comfortable. Mei Xue couldn't help but twitch her fox ears. She had been busy for so many days, and there were several unexpected events in between, but in the end, she finally finished everything before the wedding.

"Looks like you know just how outrageous your sisters' destructive power really is. Oh well... ah, I can't sleep."

It would be strange if they could sleep at all. The outside world of Kerrig has been completely transformed into an absurd state. The Siren Lolis have used their power to deceive all the people of Kerrig and built a church and a larger garden in less than three or four days. They even used the authority given to them by Mei Xue to divide the snow mountain of Kerrig in two, making the garden side bloom with flowers.

Mei Xue took a look and found that the group of girls were doing a hybrid thing. The wedding was in the style of a Victorian wedding, but the banquet was a large-scale, informal feast where people would sit down and start eating as soon as they were served. It felt a little strange, but it didn't seem to be a problem.

"I can't sleep either, but it's okay if I don't sleep. If you don't sleep, you'll be very tired tomorrow and you'll have unsightly dark circles under your eyes."

"!!!"

Upon hearing that she might have dark circles under her eyes, Talulah closed her eyes without hesitation, hugged Meixue tightly, rubbed against her twice, and then forced herself into a sweet dream.

Mei Xue also used her power to soothe Talulah's mind, helping her drift off to sleep. As Talulah's breathing gradually became more stable, Mei Xue hugged her tail, glanced at the fireplace, and added more firewood with her tail. With Mei Xue's good luck, she wasn't worried about any fires.

Choosing Sherag as the wedding location was probably something no one but Miss Doctor could have guessed, but for Mei Xue, it was indeed the most suitable place.

His original plan was to hold the wedding on the moon, but the moon was too desolate, and he was worried that Miss Doctor and Precys would be heartbroken by the sight of it.

Kjerag is a great place. The scenery is beautiful and it's undeveloped. The key is that Mei Xue doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the girls of Rhodes Island here. When Talulah suggested we go for a stroll here before, the little fox managed to avoid it.

Of course, there are deeper reasons. One is what he told Talulah before: this is their first home. Even though the two of them only lived here for a few days, it is still precious enough. Mei Xue has solidified this house as an anchor point to ensure that it will not be damaged.

Secondly, this is where Talulah proposed to him. Since it's the place of the proposal, let the snowy mountains of Shelag witness their wedding. However, holding a wedding in front of someone else's sacred mountain is only possible because he had told Yela beforehand. Otherwise, Mei Xue would be really embarrassed. The Sirens need to keep a low profile and use the mental network and Mei Xue's inner voice to ensure they are not discovered.

"Sister, I love you very much."
