The golden dawn mist bathed the Star Dou Core Area in a bittersweet glow.
Today, the twin stars—Tang Yan and Tang San—would leave their birthplace, stepping onto the road to destiny.
The great forest held its breath.
### Tang Yan and Tang San: Grown and Glowing
Two tiny figures stood at the center of the clearing:
**Tang Yan:** with a messy ponytail, bright pale skin, and red-blue-purple hair dancing in the breeze.
**Tang San:** with steady black eyes, an innocent face, and the faint sturdiness of a future titan.
They were only two years old, yet both carried a dignity far beyond their size.

Embedded deep within his flesh and spirit lay the Twin Dark Gold Terrorclaws:
Two sleek blades of shimmering dark gold energy, razor-sharp and vibrating with hidden might, lay dormant but resonating faintly with his heartbeat.
Whenever Tang Yan focused, he could feel the claws stirring silently, waiting for the day they would awaken fully alongside his soul power.
The connection was not just physical—it was spiritual and blood-bound.
### The Final Farewells: Thunder Tribulation Warriors
Only those beasts who had fought during the terrifying nine Tribulations now stood before the twins.
Their eyes shone with pride and sorrow.
**⚡ Thunder Phoenix King:**
A beautiful, slender beast covered in purple thunder feathers knelt before Tang Yan.
"Never forget: strength without wisdom is just destruction. Listen to your heart in moments of chaos. Don't be afraid to fly higher than even the heavens dare."
Whispering with teary laughter, the Phoenix added, "Next time we meet, you must outshine the storms themselves."
Tang Yan smiled shyly and nodded.
**⚡ Sky Tearing Vine Emperor:**
An ancient vine spirit, with emerald leaves shimmering, bowed low.
"Roots keep you grounded. Never cut your soul. When you're lost, return to the earth and listen. Remember, patience can tear mountains apart."
Softly, it said, "You were born of hope. Let no hatred chain you."
**⚡ Crimson Flame Tiger Lord:**
A massive tiger, scarred and mighty, rumbled as he knelt.
"Fight fiercely. Laugh loudly. Love without regret."
Then, flicking his tail playfully, he added, "And if anyone picks a fight—bite first, roar later."
Tang Yan chuckled, his eyes glistening.
**⚡ Silver Moon Wolf Queen:**
The radiant wolf queen padded forward gracefully.
"Trust your instincts, little emperor. Hunt your dreams, not your fears. Strength without compassion is emptiness."
Her silver tail brushed against Tang Yan's hand gently: "Run free, baby cub. We'll howl your name to the stars."
Each farewell felt like a thread being plucked from the great tapestry of Star Dou itself.
The beasts who had fought beside Di Tian during the Tribulations—who had risked everything to birth a new future—now handed that future over, tearfully and proudly.
### Bi Ji, Tianmeng, and Three-Headed Dog Mastiff: Traveling Companions
Not all bonds were being severed today.
Bi Ji, in her human form, stood gracefully behind Ah Yin, ready to travel together. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, wobbling joyfully in his bug form, clung to Ah Yin's shoulder like a glittering brooch. The Three-Headed Dog Mastiff, now permanently stuck in a harmless puppy form thanks to the Tribulations, barked happily at the twins' feet.
They, too, would leave Star Dou behind—choosing loyalty to Tang Yan, Tang San, and the future they represented over the safety of the forest.
### Emotional Speeches
Ah Yin knelt, embracing both twins closely. Her voice, though trembling slightly, was clear:
"You are our miracles. You are our hope. Go forth and live fully."
Tang Hao, with a face like carved stone, rested a calloused hand on their heads.
"Face the world with open eyes. And when you raise your weapons—make sure it's to protect, not to destroy."
Gu Yuena, her silver hair flowing like a river of stars, crouched silently. She pressed a soft kiss to each twin's forehead. Her whispered blessing was ancient, almost sacred:
"The heavens wait. The earth breathes. Walk your paths, my little stars."
Her hand lingered a little longer on Tang Yan—silver eyes shimmering with endless depths of affection and sadness.
### Final Step
The beasts, ancient and newborn alike, parted to form a living avenue.
Beyond it lay the world—vast, cruel, and beautiful.
Tang Yan tightened his grip on Tang San's tiny hand. He turned once, bowing deeply, tiny fists clenched.
"Thank you... for everything."
His voice was small, but the soul behind it shook the clearing.
The System, for once, spoke in a quiet, proud voice:
[Goodbye, Star Dou. Let's paint new legends, Host.]
Together, surrounded by warmth, tears, and dreams, the twins stepped forward—one step toward their new life, one step toward history.

Today marked a significant moment for the twin stars—Tang Yan and Tang San. They stood on the brink of leaving their cherished birthplace, stepping onto a path that would lead them toward their destiny.
In that tranquil forest, even the trees seemed to hold their breath.
### Tang Yan and Tang San: Grown and Glowing
At the heart of the clearing stood two tiny figures, each radiating an innocent strength:
**Tang Yan:** with her messy ponytail, bright pale skin, and vibrant red-blue-purple hair that danced lightly in the breeze.
**Tang San:** with his steady black eyes and innocent face, projecting the faint sturdiness of a future hero.
Though the twins were only two years old, they exuded a sense of dignity that belied their size.

### The Final Farewells: Thunder Tribulation Warriors
Gathered before the twins were the mighty beasts who had fought valiantly through the harrowing nine Tribulations. Their eyes, glimmering with both pride and sorrow, reflected the deep bonds formed through shared struggles and triumphs.
**⚡ Thunder Phoenix King:**
A majestic beast, adorned in feathers of purple and thunder, knelt gracefully before Tang Yan.
"Always remember: strength without wisdom can lead only to ruin. In times of chaos, trust your heart. Don't hesitate to soar higher than the heavens themselves."
With teary laughter, he whispered, "When we meet again, may your light outshine the storms."
Tang Yan's shy smile expressed both gratitude and hope.

An ancient spirit, the shimmering emerald leaves spoke wisdom as it bowed deeply.

Softly, it added, "You were born from hope. Allow no hatred to tether you."
**⚡ Crimson Flame Tiger Lord:**
A powerful tiger, scarred yet majestic, rumbled as he knelt down.
"Embrace your battles fiercely. Laugh freely and love deeply."
His playful flick of a tail prompted a chuckle from Tang Yan. "And if trouble finds you—remember to bite first and roar later!"
**⚡ Silver Moon Wolf Queen:**
Gracefully, the radiant wolf queen approached.
"Trust your instincts, dear little emperor. Chase after your dreams, not your fears, for strength without compassion leaves you empty."
Her soft, silver tail brushed against Tang Yan's hand. "Run free, precious cub. We will howl your name among the stars."
Each farewell felt like a thread gently pulled from the great tapestry of Star Dou, woven from the strength of those who had fought by Di Tian's side. They had risked everything to shape a new future. Now, they lovingly entrusted that future to the twins with both tears and pride.

But not all bonds were being severed today. Bi Ji, in her human form, stood gracefully behind Ah Yin, ready to journey together. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, joyfully wobbling in insect form, nestled on Ah Yin's shoulder, a shimmering little friend. And there, at the twins' feet, the Three-Headed Dog Mastiff—now a harmless puppy due to the Tribulations—barked happily, his spirit unbroken.
These companions, too, chose to step away from the safety of Star Dou, embracing the future alongside Tang Yan, Tang San, and the promises it held.
### Emotional Speeches
Ah Yin knelt down, wrapping her arms around both twins in a heartfelt embrace. Her voice trembled with emotion but remained steady.
"You are our miracles. You are our hope. Go forth and live your lives to the fullest."
Tang Hao, his face chiseled like stone, placed a calloused hand gently on each of their heads.
"Face the world with open eyes. When you raise your weapons, remember to protect, not destroy."
Gu Yuena silently crouched and pressed soft kisses to each of their foreheads. Her whispered blessing rang with ancient significance:
"The heavens await you. The earth breaths alongside you. Walk your paths, my little stars."
She lingered a moment longer on Tang Yan, her silver eyes shimmering with deep love and bittersweet sadness.
### Final Step
Ancient and newly born creatures alike parted to create a living pathway. Beyond lay a world—vast, cruel, yet beautiful.
Tang Yan tightened his grip on Tang San's tiny hand. He turned once, bowing deeply, fists clenched tightly.
"Thank you... for everything," he said, his voice small yet resonant, echoing throughout the clearing.
The sincerity of his words sent a shiver through the very air.
For once, the System's voice came through softly and filled with pride:
[Goodbye, Star Dou. Together, let us create new legends, Host.]
Together, surrounded by warmth, tears, and the power of dreams, the twins took a step forward. One step toward their new life, one step toward a narrative still unfolding.
