Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Lu Jingming's Responsibility

Two years ago, Robin once again embarked on her star-studded journey, becoming a highly acclaimed songstress.

Starting from Sea Abyss City, her voice spread like a nimble breeze to every corner of the Star Luo Empire, conquering the hearts of most people.

Suddenly, Miss Robin's reputation soared, almost rivaling that of Ms. Herta, who developed the Simulated Universe.

In the circle of Spirit Masters, Herta and Jingliu had greater fame, but among common folk, Robin's popularity far surpassed theirs.

This wasn't just due to her captivating singing but also her care for the common people.

At every concert, she would deliver daily necessities to the impoverished, using her own power to bring a glimmer of hope into their lives.

Not only that, but Robin also used the gold soul coins earned from her concerts to establish numerous orphanages, providing a sanctuary for homeless children.

Of course, behind all of this, the silent support of someone was indispensable.

In her original world, her brother shielded her from wind and rain, protecting her. In this world, it was Lu Jingming who became her most steadfast support.

He dispelled all crises for Robin, fending off hidden and overt attacks, allowing her to pursue her dreams with peace of mind and firmly upholding the principle of the strong aiding the weak.

To Lu Jingming, Robin and the others weren't tools to achieve a goal but family who would always be together in the future.

No matter what dreams his family harbored, he would support them without hesitation, even if it meant consuming vast resources and incurring many unnecessary expenses; he didn't care at all.

He had sincerely told Robin and the others countless times: "Whatever you want to do, just do it, as long as you're happy."

When Firefly wanted to be a dessert connoisseur, Lu Jingming spared no expense, extensively recruiting dessert chefs from across the Star Luo Empire to gather in Sea Abyss City and build a dessert street.

Not only that, but he also used Truth Power to materialize Oak Roll Cakes, a food never before seen in this world, for the dessert chefs to research and produce, because it was Firefly's favorite food.

Castorice loved flowers but couldn't touch them herself for various reasons.

Lu Jingming personally used the power of the White Flower to carefully cultivate a vibrant, colorful sea of flowers at St. Freya Academy.

Castorice also loved reading, dolls, and yearned to raise a pet. Lu Jingming kept all these seemingly trivial wishes in mind, doing everything he could to help her achieve them.

Jinhsi cared deeply for the common people and was concerned about their suffering.

Lu Jingming decisively handed power to her, allowing her to manage Sea Abyss City alongside her teacher, Changli.

He gave Jinhsi ample freedom; as long as it didn't endanger Sea Abyss City's stability, she could issue any policy independently.

Jinhsi loved to eat xiaolongbao and was obsessed with watching TV series. Lu Jingming similarly went to great lengths, dispatching people to search for excellent chefs, research cooking methods, and collect various exciting TV series.

March 7th was passionate about photography, obsessed with the beautiful scenery of the world, full of curiosity about novelties, and loved shopping and pretty clothes.

Lu Jingming always racked his brains to fulfill her every wish.

Whether it was finding unique shooting locations for her or buying the latest beautiful clothes, Lu Jingming would make time, no matter how busy he was.

Lu Jingming's care wasn't limited to Robin and the others. Keqing, Ji Yingying, Changli, Herta, Ningguang, Jingliu, and even that cute little fox were all held dear in his heart.

Since he brought them into this world, Lu Jingming was determined to take responsibility and let them all live the lives they yearned for.

Even if some wishes couldn't be fulfilled temporarily, he never gave up, because he was confident that with the Authority of Truth, his future held infinite possibilities.

Truth is equivalent to existence, and existence is opposed to nothingness.

In Herta's calculations, if Lu Jingming steadfastly continued on this path, one day, he might become an existence similar to an Aeon.

After all, "Truth" as a philosophical concept stood in opposition to the strongest Aeon in Herta's world, the Aeon of Nihility.

However, at this moment, Lu Jingming only held the seed of Truth.

For this seed to take root, sprout, and grow strong, it would still require a long time and countless trials.

But he wasn't alone; Herta and the others would accompany him on this path, forging ahead.

Over these two years, Gu Yue had also fully integrated into St. Freya Academy.

As one of the seven strongest S-rank students in the academy, she, like Robin and the others, became a distant, genius monster in the eyes of other students.

During this period, Gu Yue spent day and night with Robin and the others, their relationship growing closer, and their understanding of each other deepening.

Robin was kind-hearted and gentle, always embracing a fervent spirit, preferring to aid the weak with the strong.

March 7th was quirky and mischievous, filled with intense curiosity about all new things, her vitality seemingly endless, always vibrant and energetic.

Firefly outwardly appeared soft, cute, and a complete foodie, but once she entered combat, she instantly transformed into a berserk battle god, her combat power exploding, making her exceptionally formidable among their seven members.

Gu Yue had simulated battles with Firefly multiple times, always marveling at how different Firefly in combat was from her usual self.

Jinhsi was dignified and gentle, exuding elegance in every gesture.

Compared to Lu Jingming, who was the ostensible leader of their team, Jinhsi actually seemed more like a qualified leader.

Jinhsi and Robin both possessed unique leadership qualities, which sometimes made Gu Yue, as the Silver Dragon Princess and co-ruler of the soul beasts, feel a hint of inferiority in her heart.

And Castorice was the most special existence in this team.

Her martial soul was Death, an incorporeal martial soul that possessed exceptionally powerful strength, so powerful that it affected her daily life.

Any living creature touched by Castorice would be relentlessly entangled by the shadow of death.

This was precisely why Robin had initially warned others not to easily touch Castorice.

Although Castorice was gentle and had a natural sense of innocent clumsiness, making her easy to get along with, she had to maintain a distance of at least five meters from others, standing isolated from the crowd.

Among everyone, besides Lu Jingming, no one could touch Castorice.

This was because Lu Jingming possessed the power of Black Abyss White Flower, a power originally derived from the Herrscher of Death, which was essentially also death energy, though one came from the technological side and the other from the mystical side.

Remarkably, these two seemingly opposing death energies balanced each other, allowing Lu Jingming to be immune to Castorice's death touch.

It was precisely for this reason that Castorice was exceptionally close to Lu Jingming; among everyone, she was the most clingy to him.
