An island of flesh and blood rose again on the cold surface of Earthsea. This was Charles, who had the ability to reverse time in Earthsea.
His sight pierced through the darkness and returned to Hope Island, where he saw the crew members who had embarked on the adventure with him.
Dipper, Linda, Bandage, Odrick, James...
Looking at them, Charles recalled the past and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Of course there are more crew members than these, besides those who died, there are also those who died on their own bodies.
As Charles' heart moved slightly, his flesh and blood body slowly split open, and a sun slowly rose. "Mr. Charles."
"Lily." Charles looked at her with hundreds of eyes. "Go and find your own way. I may not have time to accompany you in the future."
The huge sun slowly circled around the flesh and blood island, and Lily's ethereal voice rang in his ears. "I'm not going anywhere. Wherever you go, I'll go!"
Hearing these words, Charles' lost and regained memories emerged in his mind, the memories of fulfilling Lily's wish. Charles remembered the happy white mouse that had been jumping around beside him.
"Okay, then let's come together. I will protect you from now on." Five flesh tentacles as big as giant towers stretched out like palms.
"Hmm!" There was a hint of joy in Lily's voice. After rubbing the tentacles lightly, she dropped them heavily and smashed onto the island of flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood wrapped Lily again, and Charles' body began to rise gradually, eventually returning to the center of the earth through the long and narrow tunnel.
Freed from Futan's control, 002 at the center of the earth has completely disappeared. As Charles continues to ascend, he eventually occupies the original position of 002.
"Charles, the captain of the ship, is responsible for the safe transportation of the ship, production and administration, and ensures the safety of the ship and the life and property of the crew to the greatest extent possible!"
"Handle all matters decisively and prudently when encountering emergencies! The Narwhal sets sail!"
The Narwhal, which was parked at the Hope Island Pier, seemed to sense something, and the piercing whistle instantly reached its loudest. "Woo~Woo~~!!"
Accompanied by the shrill sound of the whistle, the entire sea seemed to have turned into a ship. Under the leadership of the captain, the ship was carrying the passengers slowly towards the distant past.
———————————
At this time on the surface, on a ship sailing on the sea, students wearing various clothes were crowded on the deck, taking pictures happily.
With Odvia's ability, they couldn't see Anna and Gao Zhiming.
The time to fall into the water is approaching soon, and the time to say goodbye has finally arrived.
Gao Zhiming clenched the phone in his hand, took a deep breath and walked towards the edge of the boat.
Seeing this scene, Anna clenched and unclenched her hands, without showing her strong emotions on her face.
She just put her hands to her mouth and clasped them into a trumpet shape. After her lips trembled a few times, she shouted loudly to Gao Zhiming's back with a hint of tears: "Remember! Zhao Jiajia will always love Gao Zhiming! And! You promised me! You must come back!"
Gao Zhiming turned around, smiled happily, and then nodded vigorously. "Yes! Jiajia! I promise you, Sister Olivia, let's start."
Olivia gently pointed her finger at her temple, and soon, Anna's complete memory of Charles's representation was pulled out of her mind, gradually replacing the memory in Charles' mind.
The smile on Gao Zhiming's face gradually disappeared, and along with it the heat in his eyes.
When the memory was completely modified, Gao Zhiming completely turned into a teenager going out for a trip. His naive attention was immediately attracted by the blue sea.
"Wow! This scenery is absolutely amazing. No, I have to take a few more pictures. I'm so jealous of Gao Suling!"
Gao Zhiming held up his mobile phone and took a lot of pictures of the beautiful scenery. At this moment, the huge passenger ship suddenly shook.
He screamed and fell towards the sea, and as if prepared, a pitch-black wormhole appeared in the sea in an instant.
When Zhao Jiajia rushed to the edge of the boat and looked towards the sea, she found that there was nothing there except waves. Gao Zhiming had fallen into the sea.
Anna held onto the edge of the boat with both hands and slowly slid down, covering her face with her hands and crying hard but finally unable to hold back.
Anna, who has been strong all her life, finally, for the first time, couldn't control her emotions like an ordinary human being.
"Jia Jia."
A familiar shout made Zhao Jiajia's heart tremble. She looked up from where she was squatting and saw a special face.
His face was covered with old scars and he was wearing a half-worn captain's uniform. His right sleeve was empty, and his right eye and right ear had the same treatment as his right arm.
This is Charles, Charles from Earthsea.
Charles' face showed a gentle smile that he had never seen before. He walked over, knelt on one knee, and held his wife in his arms with his one arm.
"I mean what I say. Look, I'm really back."
At this time, Zhao Jiajia came to her senses and realized that this was not a dream but reality!
She hugged Charles tightly, opened her mouth, bit his neck hard and tore it like mad.
The blood dripped into her mouth, the taste was so familiar, he was Charles, he was really back.
"Let's go home." Gao Zhiming put his arm around Anna's slender waist and lifted her up gently.
"Wait a moment, let me calm down, I feel a little dizzy." Zhao Jiajia lay in Charles' arms, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with her hands.
Charles waited patiently. He had plenty of time now and could wait forever.
Charles lowered his head slightly and was about to kiss her, but was blocked by a soft palm. "Wait, you're back, where's Shanshan?"
When this question came out of her mouth, Zhao Jiajia was frightened by her own question and her body trembled violently. She looked around with trembling eyes, but she never saw a girl with fluorescent green cross pupils.
"I'm asking you! Where's Winky? Where's our daughter?" Anna grabbed Charles' collar with both hands and lifted him up hard, her voice involuntarily becoming extremely high.
"Shh, don't be so loud, be careful not to disturb Shanshan." Gao Zhiming touched Zhao Jiajia's flat abdomen with his calloused left hand.
Zhao Jiajia's trembling white hands rested on the back of his rough hands, and they both concentrated on feeling the pulse of the little life inside, the wedding rings on their fingers reflecting each other's beauty.

"Hiss, why is it so cold? It should be summer." Gao Zhiming shook his dizzy head and muttered.
"Wow~" Gao Zhiming's movements caused the wooden boat under him to shake
"Where... where am I?" With the help of the oil lamp on the bow, Gao Zhiming saw that he should have been on the ship, but now he was lying on a shabby wooden boat about 6 meters long.
There was nothing on the boat except two oars.
Still frightened, he looked around, trying to see where he was. However, to his disappointment, the darkness around him merged with the pitch-black water, and there was no reference at all.
The fear of darkness made him instinctively move closer to the only light source
Call the police! This was Gao Zhiming's first reaction, but when he reached out to take out his cell phone, he found that there was no signal at all.
"Where the hell is this?" Gao Zhiming shouted to Zhou Yi with tears in his eyes. It was just an ordinary trip, how could something like this happen
Just then, a gust of wind blew from the sea, and the fishy smell in the wind made Gao Zhiming suddenly think of something.
He ran his fingers across the inky black water and put them into his mouth. In an instant, a strong salty and astringent taste filled his mouth.
This is sea water! Am I still on the sea? Gao Zhiming began to panic.
If I were on the lake, maybe I could paddle to the shore, but I was on the sea and God knew where I was.
"No matter what, let's wait until daybreak." Gao Zhiming forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart.
Time passed little by little in his torment, but soon Gao Zhiming began to realize something was wrong.
"That's not right. It's been so long, why isn't it dawn yet?" He looked at his phone which had been switched to power saving mode.
As if realizing something, Mingri slowly looked up at the sky, but the familiar starlight in his mind did not appear. Above the dome was only the pitch black that represented the unknown.
"Where the hell am I? Where have the stars gone? Hello! Is there anyone there? Is there anyone there? Help!!" He shouted heartbreakingly at the darkness around him in despair.
However, there was no one here at all, and he fell into complete despair. Gao Zhiming discovered that there was a high probability that this place was not even the Earth. As long as it was an ocean on Earth, it would be impossible not to see the stars and the sun when looking up.
After a hysterical outburst, Gao Zhiming fell on the bed, gasping for breath.
There was pain in his eyes and he looked at the darkness above his head with extreme confusion, but when the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, he cheered up again.
"No, I have to go back. I can't die here. No matter where I am, I must go back, because..."
Having said this, Gao Zhiming paused for a moment, his eyes sometimes confused and sometimes determined, as if he was remembering something but could not remember anything.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said with absolute certainty: "Because everything I have and my family are there, I must go back!!
After saying this, Gao Zhiming, with a determined look in his eyes, took the oar beside him, gritted his teeth, chose a direction in the darkness, and paddled desperately.

Ah, it's finally finished. I feel so complicated for a moment and don't know what to say. After it's finished, I feel a strong sense of emptiness in my heart. I really don't want to let it go.
When I wrote this paragraph, the average subscription was 2965. I estimate that it will be ready for high-quality publication in a few days.
First of all, thank you all for subscribing to the finale. Thank you very much. Without your help, I would not have achieved what I have now.
This is the book in which I have invested the most energy and emotion, and it is also the book that made me cry while writing it.
To be honest, I was influenced by the Lord of Mysteries to write this book. I like to read all of Squid's books, but after I finished reading it, an idea suddenly came to my mind. Since Qing Ke can accept it, will readers be able to accept something more core
I happened to be playing Endless Sea at that time, so I just started writing on impulse, and I didn’t expect to end up writing 2.4 million words.
As a newcomer, I have many shortcomings. I know this book is not perfect, but I think it means a lot to me.
It is my work and also my teacher, and it has taught me many things.
I will try my best to do better in the new book and bring you better stories.
Since we are talking about new books, let me inform you of the time. The next book will be released on December 1st. The style is still similar to that of the K series, but the background is different. Everyone is welcome to support it.
In addition, regarding this book, I plan to write some sequels to make up for the debt I owed in the past.
As for what to write, you can make your requests. I will write what you like to read.
Finally, thank you all for watching! Thank you!!
