Chapter 57 - 57 Goodbye

"Because they saw that the humans had already perished, and their legacy had been destroyed by their own hands. Their descendants, the current humans, were oblivious to their ancestors' actions. And so, they decided not to punish the current humans for the wrongdoing of their forebears. Instead, they chose to return without seeking revenge and focused on building a protective barrier around their galaxy. This barrier would safeguard against similar threats in the future and protect other galaxies from suffering the same fate."

"To build this barrier, they exhausted every resource at their disposal. As a result, they were unable to offer aid to other galaxies. However, they were committed to providing any assistance they could, and in this endeavor, Guardian Yun would play a crucial role."

Wadtor Pastor's eyes locked onto Yun's, filled with a sense of purpose. "You, Guardian Yun, are the key to our future. Together, we will fortify our universe and support those in need. We will not repeat the mistakes of our ancestors. Instead, we will forge a new path, one of cooperation and protection."

Yun nodded resolutely, his heart swelling with pride. "I am ready to serve, Wadtor Pastor. Let us build a brighter future for our universe."

"We have been keeping a watchful eye on this universe," Wadtor Pastor began, "and some years ago, we detected a powerful energy wave emanating from the direction of the Milky Way galaxy. Since that day, we have been observing your every move."

Yun listened intently, his heart racing with anticipation.

"After careful observation, we have come to realize that you are not a threat to this universe, but a benefactor," Wadtor Pastor continued. "You have been soothing the anger of countless beings towards the humans and fostering peace throughout the universe. With your help, we believe that this universe can once again flourish as it did before."

Yun's eyes shone with determination. "I am committed to this mission," he declared. "I will do everything in my power to help."

Wadtor Pastor's expression turned solemn. "We must work together to restore balance and harmony to the universe. Will you join us in this quest, Guardian Yun?"

Yun nodded resolutely. "I am with you, Wadtor Pastor. Together, we shall bring peace and prosperity back to the universe."

And with that, a powerful alliance was forged, one that would change the course of history and shape the destiny of the universe.

After spending 4000 years in Galaxy I903Y, Yun had amassed an incredible 500 million abilities and earned a reward of +500 Mystery Vouchers from the system. And he also reached the mastery level 5 of the Lifespan Extension Breathing Technique. Feeling accomplished, he joined Wadtor Pastor, the leader of Galaxy I903Y, at the entrance of the Universal Boundary.

As they stood before the shimmering barrier, Yun felt an overwhelming urge to explore what lay beyond. He reached out to touch the barrier, hoping against hope that he might be the first to succeed where others had failed.

"Wait, Guardian Yun!" Wadtor Pastor cried out, his voice laced with concern. "You can't go inside! No one has ever been able to breach this barrier."

Yun's determination only grew stronger. He pressed his hand against the barrier, focusing all his energy on willpower and curiosity. The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as he attempted the impossible.

To his surprise, the barrier began to glow, responding to Yun's touch. Wadtor Pastor's eyes widened in astonishment. "How is this possible, Guardian Yun? You're actually interacting with the Universal Boundary!"

Yun's heart raced with excitement. "I don't know, but I'm not going to give up now!" With a deep breath, he pushed forward, determined to uncover the secrets hidden beyond the barrier.

But nothing happened. The barrier remained impassable, its glow fading as suddenly as it had appeared. Yun's hand fell away, his eyes locked on the barrier in disbelief. He had been so sure that he could break through.

Wadtor Pastor placed a gentle hand on Yun's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Guardian Yun. The Universal Boundary has remained impenetrable for eons. We must accept that some mysteries are beyond our reach."

Yun's gaze lingered on the barrier, his mind racing with questions. What secrets lay hidden beyond? Why was he unable to pass through? The unanswered questions burned within him, fueling his determination to find another way.

"I will not give up," Yun declared, his voice firm. "There must be a way to unlock the secrets of the Universal Boundary. I will find it, no matter how long it takes."

Wadtor Pastor nodded in understanding. "Then we will search together, Guardian Yun. For the sake of our universe and the mysteries that lie beyond."

[ Ding! ]

[ Condition met to use Barrier Breaker Voucher. ]

[ Description: After using this voucher, you have gained access to enter any type of barrier. After using it, you can enter and exit at any time through the barrier.

Limitation:

1. One-time use only.

2. Can only be used by the holder.

3. Can not be shared with anyone.

4. One Voucher can only be used on one barrier. ]

Yun's eyes sparkled as he read the description. "So, there's a condition to unlock the effect of this voucher," he thought, his mind racing with excitement. "It means that other vouchers and items also have conditions to meet, and then their effects can be revealed."

Intrigued, Yun wondered what other secrets lay hidden, "I need to find out more about these conditions," Yun thought, "I have a few more items whose effects and details are hidden."

Yun felt a sense of excitement and trepidation, realizing that the voucher's power was not just a simple key to unlock the Universal Boundary, but a gateway to understanding the mysteries of the universe.

The leader asked, "Yun, what's on your mind? You seem lost in thought."

Yun replied, "I've figured out a way to enter the Universal Boundary. But right now I'm the only one who can enter the universal boundary. I can't bring you with me."

Wadtor Pastor's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? That's remarkable! Well done, Yun. It doesn't matter if I can go with you or not."

With a determined look, Yun used the Barrier Breaker Voucher. A window popped up in front of him, displaying the message:

[ You can now enter or exit the Universal Boundary at will. ]

Yun hesitated, his mind racing with uncertainty. "I don't know what lies ahead or how long it will take. I should come back later, after meeting Ariana."

With a nod to himself, Yun bid farewell to Wadtor Pastor and boarded his spaceship. His thoughts drifted to Ariana and the mysteries of the Universal Boundary.

Yun commanded Varitas, "Start the teleportation system and connect it to SV-1. I want to go to Earth."

But Varitas remained silent, its usual hum and beep absent.

Yun asked, "Varitas, what's wrong? Why haven't you started the teleportation system?"

Again, silence.

Yun's curiosity turned to concern. "Varitas, why aren't you replying?"

Before he could finish, a hand reached from behind and covered his mouth. Yun's eyes widened in surprise as he was pulled backward.

"My love, how are you here?" Yun exclaimed, his voice muffled by the hand.

But she didn't say a word, and instead, wrapped her arms around Yun's waist, hugging him tightly from behind. Yun turned to face Ariana, embracing her warmly, and whispered, "I missed you so much."

Ariana's voice was barely audible, "I love you, Yun." Yun's response was immediate, "I love you too," and their lips met in a tender kiss.

As they pulled away, Yun asked, "Why are you here? I was just about to return to Earth."

Ariana's smile was mischievous, "I wanted to surprise you, so I came here to meet you."

Yun's curiosity got the better of him, "But what if I had gone to Earth and didn't find you there?"

Ariana's eyes sparkled, "That couldn't have happened, Yun. I already knew you'd completed your journey, which is why I'm here."

Yun's eyes widened, "So, it was your plan all along? That's why Varitas didn't start the teleportation system and didn't respond to me?"

Ariana's chuckle was playful, and she leaned in for another kiss, "Maybe I had a little something to do with it."

As their lips met again, Yun realized that Ariana had orchestrated their reunion, and he was grateful for her cleverness. The mysteries of the universe still lingered, but with Ariana by his side, Yun felt ready to face whatever came next.

After their cosmic adventure, Yun and Ariana returned to Earth, hand in hand. Yun's heart raced with excitement as he led Ariana to a picturesque garden, where a beautiful fountain sang sweet melodies. He took her hand, gazed into her eyes, and asked, "Ariana, will you marry me?"

Tears of joy streaming down her face, Ariana nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, a million times yes!"

Their wedding was a grand celebration, with every influential being in the universe in attendance. The ceremony was a breathtaking spectacle, with Yun and Ariana exchanging vows amidst a shower of rose petals and stardust.

As they danced under the starry night sky, Yun and Ariana's love shone brighter than any celestial body. Their first night as a married couple was a magical experience, filled with tender moments and sweet whispers.

And so, they spent the next 500 years together, basking in each other's love, exploring the wonders of the universe, and creating unforgettable memories. They made love under the stars, strolled through lush gardens, and laughed together, their joy echoing across the cosmos.

Throughout their eternal union, Yun and Ariana's love remained the guiding force, a beacon of hope and happiness that inspired countless others. Theirs was a tale of eternal devotion, a shining testament to the power of true love.

After their blissful 500 years together, Yun prepared to enter the Universal Boundary once more. However, Ariana was reluctant to be separated from him again. Yun reassured her, "I'll come back swiftly, my love."

Ariana's eyes welled up with tears as she reminded him, "You said the same last time, and it took you over 10,000 years to return."

Yun's heart ached seeing her distress. He vowed, "I promise you, Ariana, this time I will return soon. It won't take that long."

Yun smiled and entwined his pinky finger with hers. "Pinky promise, my love."

With a heavy heart, Ariana accompanied Yun to the entrance of the Universal Boundary. As Yun stepped forward, Ariana bid him a tearful goodbye. Yun knew that if he looked back, he wouldn't be able to leave her behind, so he steeled himself and disappeared into the unknown, leaving Ariana behind, her eyes brimming with tears.
