Chapter 415: Prepare for the Future
With the return of the exploration team, Andemiye suddenly became lively.

Everyone warmly welcomed the return of the exploration team. The sanctuary held a banquet to entertain all members of the exploration team. Being able to come back from Tianding Mountain was already a feat that had never been seen before in the world. There was no need to think about so much at this time, just celebrate.

Anti was present symbolically. In fact, he wanted to go back to Blue Star as soon as he came back, but he couldn't refuse the hospitality of the sanctuary.

When Xiuman asked Anti to stay, his words sounded like a fan leader asking his idol for some business. In order to make him put away his face, Anti finally compromised.

"You don't have to do anything. Just stand up, raise your hand and make a fist and everyone will be happy. Be more confident. No one here doesn't like you, right..."

At the open-air banquet, Xiuman handed Anti a glass of hot milk in a goblet, whispered something to Anti and then pulled Anti up.

As he waved his hand, a spotlight came from somewhere and shone directly on him, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

Although no one spoke for a while, Anti could inexplicably feel the heated emotions, and everyone was waiting for him to make a move.

Anti remained expressionless for a while, until Xiuman quietly pulled the hem of his clothes. Then he slowly raised one hand and clenched his fist as Xiuman said.

Oh oh oh——

The whole audience was in an uproar, with cheers, screams and applause rising one after another.

This is much more exciting than Blue Star’s Marketing Hero Tour.

I felt firsthand the enthusiasm and love that the people of the sanctuary have for the heroes.

This feeling is not bad, but Anti still doesn't like to be on the stage.

However, when they were leaving after a simple meal, some children came over, holding their precious things and wanted Anti's autograph.

Anti looked at Xiuman next to him. Xiuman shrugged and looked away to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

Looking at the child's bright eyes, Anti agreed.

Then Xuman handed over a pen from somewhere, very quickly and smoothly.

Anti: ...

There are many children who want autographs, but it doesn't matter to Anti. He won't be tired anyway. The children in the sanctuary can all become real heroes who are more useful than him in the future. If they can be given a little encouragement, the time he spends will be completely worth it.

Anyway, in the sanctuary he can be sure that his autograph won't be resold or anything.

The children were also very sensible. After signing for a long time, they took the initiative to ask Anti if he was tired.

Anti tried to say that he wasn’t tired, but the children immediately said spontaneously: “Mr. Anti has been signing for an hour, he must be tired! We have to give him time to rest! They just came back today!”

Then they dispersed in a very orderly manner.

Antidu was stunned for a moment before waving goodbye to the child who was leaving.

What does it mean to be a rational star chaser?

Alas, sanctuary child.

At this time, Xiuman, who was watching the show on the side, came over and said, "That's great, big star. Well, we were actually quite popular back then, but we had serious vote splits and we couldn't beat Cynthia. There aren't many people like you who are as heroic as you are now."

"baffling."

"You're wrong. How can you say it's inexplicable?" Xiuman laughed. "The more difficult the time, the more we need spiritual support. If we have role models, we will be more motivated."

Anti didn't dwell on this topic any further.

Although he responded to the children, it did not mean that he could calmly accept the positioning given to him by the sanctuary.

Objectively speaking, it may be "great" in the eyes of others, but Anti still doesn't feel real.

Where does my resistance to this come from?
An Ti couldn't help but think of his grandfather lying on the hospital bed.

At this time, Xiuman asked casually, "By the way, you are so skilled at signing. Were you a star in the previous world?"

"My grandfather asked me to do that. He said I might have to face such situations in the future, and I must not sign and embarrass myself when the time comes." Anti replied.

"Then your grandpa is really right." Xiuman clapped his hands.

Anti ignored him and after leaving the banquet, he did not go back to the room directly but came to an open space.

Handilon's figure appeared at this time, and he immediately came up to ask for help. Anti stretched out his hand in response.

"Are you leaving again?"

"Hoo~." "Well, you do need to rest up. I'll call you later when I go find the Heaven and Earth Hand."

"Roar!"

The man and the dragon had a brief conversation, and then under the moonlight, Handilon gently stepped away, staring at Anti with his beautiful lotus eyes wide open, remembering Anti's figure, his touch, and his breath firmly in his mind.

The wings spread gently, and the takeoff under the effect of space was very consistent, without any turbulent airflow. The weird and cute dragon rose into the sky, turned into a tiny shadow under the moon, and then disappeared in an instant.

……

The next morning, Anti received a message from Aoi.

In fact, Aofei already knew it when they came back yesterday, but she also guessed what would happen when Anti came back. In order not to add burden to Anti, she chose to "call" the next day.

In addition to expressing her condolences and asking about her experiences at Zenith Mountain out of curiosity, Aoife also shared her current location.

She was currently in the western part of the Dream Realm, where the situation was far more complicated than in the south. The disputes between the independent city-states and countries could be traced back a long way, and it was not something that the Sanctuary could easily resolve with external intervention, unless they directly overthrew the western countries. The chaotic situation in the west gave rise to a large number of wandering gods.

Aofei didn't have much free time now, so she said goodbye and left halfway through the conversation with Anti.

After chatting with Orphee, Anti enjoyed Andemiye's special food again, said goodbye to the director of the sanctuary Edwards and Shuman, and left.

Xiuman sent Anti to the nearest teleportation point.

"Regarding the anti-miracle doomsday, we in the sanctuary will first discuss it, and then contact other forces including Blue Star. The relevant progress will be synchronized to you at all times." Xiuman said on the way.

"Let me know if you need anything." Anti replied.

"Your characteristics will become our weapon against the Anti-Miracle Doom, but it cannot be used roughly. Even if you can fight against it, the power accumulated through its symbols that overrides the mixed dream world is extremely terrifying. It will be more powerful than the Pillar Gods of the past, and your existence may just be the threshold to face it. The rest of us can't even fight against it directly." Xiuman said while chewing candy beans.

Anti reminded, "I told you what it did to speed up its escape from the seal. It has considerable intelligence, not just its powerful strength and tricky characteristics. To be honest, even though you threw it into the gap, it may still take action."

Xiuman nodded: "Of course I know this, I will also monitor the situation in the gap just in case. As for you, you should first answer all the doubts in your mind and adjust to the best condition before coming."

Hearing this, Anti couldn't help but glance at Xiuman.

Xiuman looked at him and smiled without saying anything.

As expected of the number one self-miracle user, even if he didn't tell everyone everything that happened to Anti, he could easily figure out a lot by asking him indirectly.

During the trip to Tianding Mountain, the biggest change that Anti encountered was undoubtedly the breakthrough in his relationship with himself.

Man, beast, god.

As Shuman said, the time to release divinity may not be far away.

But Anti, who had always been indifferent, actually showed a rare hesitation at this moment.

Before arriving at the teleportation point, Xiuman finally said: "I have also given you the clues about the Heaven and Earth Hand, including Luca and Cynthia. In this way, I can barely be regarded as a guide for three generations. I hope..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking, his expression revealing a reminiscence.

"To be frank, I'm used to bearing other people's expectations." Anti said bluntly.

Xiuman smiled helplessly, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need. Whether it is Luca, Cynthia, or the Heaven and Earth Hand, I can only place my hopes on you who are more "qualified". It is really shameful. No need to say more, just be yourself."

"You are all great people." Upon hearing this, Anti simply left a word calmly, turned around, touched the teleportation point, and disappeared in front of Xiuman.

Xiuman stared blankly at the star-like particles floating in front of him, and the suppressed memories couldn't help but surge into his heart.

……

"Teacher Xiuman, you can just teach me. Cynthia can't do that."

"Sister, I can hear you. Teacher Xiuman will treat everyone equally, right?"

……

"Xuman, thank you for giving me guidance again... You will always be one of the greatest people in the dream world. No need to sigh. This is the path I and 'we' have chosen."

……

The scene returned to the present. Xiuman did not stay any longer. His smile slowly faded and he turned and left.
