Chapter 247: The Dead Tree (V) Recording the Buried History...
What caused the war?
Where does hatred come from?
A river of conch shells, adorned with flowers, cascades down from an exquisite classical lyre. Its strings are plucked without wind, and the music, soft and gentle, is bathed in a riot of colour, extending an invitation to the person holding the lyre.
The original story began with a leaf.
It was a very common tree. No one cared about its fallen leaves. It was so common, so common that no one would even notice it if it was stepped on.
It was once a tender green bud, carefully squeezing out from the branches, looking up to bask in the warm sun, facing the strong wind and heavy rain, even though it was covered with wounds.
The tree is its mother. It leans on its mother and accompanies its mother until the final moment of its destiny comes.
Life comes and goes, some laugh, some cry, but no life will ever look up at this leaf. It looks too similar to its many brothers and sisters. No life is willing to carefully distinguish the differences between them. Just like sunshine and rainstorms, they will always fall silently, no matter whether it is a tender bud or a dead leaf.
It's too common.
Several beautiful creatures with pointed ears pinned elegant flowers, gently caressing the delicate petals; lovely creatures like butterflies held up colorful leaves and danced, decorating their gathering; transparent shadows drifted across the grass, sweeping across the wildflowers, offering them to the waiting bones, embellishing their love...
It is too ordinary. No life cares how it emerges from its mother's branches, no life cares how it stands tall in the rainstorm, and no life really keeps its eyes on it.
It's too common, even fate.
Leaving your mother and returning to the arms of the mother who raised you, if you are lucky, you may even get a journey unexpectedly.
It awaits its fate.
Its luck was not very good. Its veins had not dried up yet, and its leaves had not become loose like sand. Its petiole was quickly cut off by something shiny, leaving only a tiny stipule.
Maybe it was a little lucky and a gust of wind lifted it up, or maybe it was not lucky enough and the wind failed to carry it for a longer distance.
It fell at its mother's feet, it was covered with mud, and for the first time it saw its mother in her entirety, how green and lively she was. Its mother was never ordinary, its mother was very beautiful.
Was it lucky after all? In the pouring rain, its brothers and sisters bore most of the coldness for it.
Fortunately, it doesn’t rain every day. For the first time, it saw another silvery moon and bright stars through the gaps between its brothers and sisters.
It had no idea how many days and nights it had experienced after leaving its mother. It knew that it was lucky because it met its final fate at its mother's feet and embraced the arms of the mother who raised it.
Fate comes silently, it and its fate are too ordinary.
But an unknown star in the night sky remembered it.
The creatures on the surface like to point at the starry sky and give a name to every star that appears. It is not lucky enough, because it is too dim and has never attracted the attention of any creature, so it has not got a name.
The star knows the leaves, and they always feel that they are too ordinary.
The star is also an ordinary star.
An ordinary star witnessed the end of an ordinary leaf.
It couldn't tell the leaves, it remembered.
The stars care, the stars remember, the nameless stars embark on a journey.
It wants to remember the fate of living beings.
It doesn't understand what meaning is, it just feels that recording is also proof.
No matter how big or small, everything can be recorded.
Moreover, it has much more time than other living creatures.
It wanders with the wind, accompanied by the clouds, and remembers the fate of every living being, whether human, elf, fairy... or grass, flower, or leaf...
Fates are complex and different, but they are ultimately connected.
It saw an elf trying to save a person who had reached the end of his fate. No, it would cause trouble and disrupt the fate of others. It saw a ghost trying to reverse time. No, fate had already happened and it was irreversible...
…
Destiny is moving forward steadily, an ordinary star has influenced the world.
God tacitly acknowledges its existence, and it is its existence that prevents the world from becoming uncontrollable.
Its existence is not a star, but another possibility that appears under the trajectory of the stars.
The stars will eventually meet their final fate, just like the leaf that was there.
Humans fought against alien races, and Buma Lingdare chose to help humans build an empire. He was betrayed by humans, and the power of the black gem that attacked him came from God. This is the last story recorded by the stars.
The stars remember the leaves, the stars wander, the stars fall, the stars fall into the ground, the stars become a leaf, the stars become a tree.
It is a tree.
It wants to remember, it wants to remember the story of the world, it wants to remember the stories that will be forgotten, every story.
The tree recorded the first story.
Buma Lingdalie's heart was cut open, divided into three parts, and placed in the center of the human empire. The only power that can trap Buma Lingdalie is God.
At the same time, a new gas is produced in the western continent, which is harmful to humans but beneficial to alien races. The effect is unknown.
…
Even though human races are at odds with each other, they can still maintain peace.
…
Humans and alien races returned to the friendship they had before the establishment of the empire, and even mixed-race humans and alien races appeared.
…
Something abnormal happened in the world, and all living things fell into madness for four quarters of an hour. The major races killed each other. Humans ate the heart of Buma Lingdale and blew themselves up in the capital of the human empire. One of the hearts of Buma Lingdale could not bear the pain and committed suicide. The abnormality of the world disappeared.
The continent was covered in blood, chaos challenged order. It was impossible to determine which race the first conscious creature belonged to, nor was it possible to determine which race was the first to witness the massacre. It was impossible to determine.
A new war is brewing.

The world is abnormal...

A large-scale war broke out between humans and alien races.
…
Record: Fate, the world, shouldn't be like this.
Record: The world rules cannot detect anomalies in time and cannot compensate for them.
Record: The world is experiencing a high incidence of abnormalities, and the minds of humans and other races are affected.
…
The human alien race discovered the anomaly, the influence was temporarily ineffective, and they reached cooperation.
All members of the Hayes family sacrificed themselves to break the formation, and the lost Rebecca helped to successfully stop the anomaly. The anomaly temporarily disappeared, and Rebecca survived in the center of the anomaly and was no longer affected by it.
Due to the influence of ■■, the memories of all living beings present were tampered with on a large scale.
The war continues.
…
Record: The authenticity of the story is absolutely true.
Note: The story itself is distorted.
Record: Whether true or false, what has happened is part of fate.
…
A war that can never end brings pain, despair, and wailing...
Record: "God, please tell me, who am I?"
“When will the war end?”
"God, why are you unwilling to open your eyes and look at us?"
"Why?"
"What did we do wrong?"
"God, God, God..."
“Why has God abandoned us?”
"God, if life shouldn't exist, why did it come into being?"
"If life is destined to be destroyed, what is the meaning of our existence?"
…
A war in which no living being could win was forcibly stopped by God's will. A huge curtain descended from the sky, forcing humans and aliens to separate on the East and West continents.
God fell into ■■.
The abnormal influence of the world has not disappeared.
A small number of alien races and mixed-race people from both sides still remain in the Eastern Continent. The deputy leader of the Human Empire suggests that they should all be eliminated. The leader is speechless, and the magic community strongly opposes it.
Disputes arose within the human empire, and a large-scale crackdown on magicians was launched openly and covertly, causing an unprecedented surge in internal conflicts among multiple parties.
Record: Result. The alien race and hybrids of both races survived, the magical world faded from public view, and the vast human empire was divided into three parts.
…
The hatred of the foreign races in the Western Continent towards God and Buma Lingdalie has reached an unprecedented level.
Record: The reason. All of us were created by God, so why is God partial to one tribe?
…
The resentment lasted for a full hundred years.
A hundred years later, a disaster struck the alien race. The ocean where the mermaids lived changed; the long lifespans of the elves and goblins were drastically reduced; the arms of the dwarves and orcs were no longer strong and they were plagued by diseases; ghosts and demons were trapped in time and fell into coma at the same time, repeating the nightmare of death.
Records: The casualties among the alien race were heavy.
Record: In the Western Continent, gases that are harmful to humans enveloped the bodies and magical veins of the aliens, buying time for them to repair minor abnormalities in their flesh/bodies.
Record: The disaster was caused by world anomalies.
Record: Result. The alien race survived, the gas dissipated, and the alien race let go of all resentment, whether towards the gods, the Buma Lingdare, or humans.
…
The world disappeared for an unusually short time.

Now, with the help of the ■■ people, I read the records of the old dust monument.
The story of the Old Dust Monument will stop here.
This is the story of a tree that was once a star.
Soft music sounded in the colorful space, and the Conch River gradually dissipated.
At the end of the melodious music, Vifiya raised her eyes and saw a blank space, which gradually formed a new light. A line of words emerged along the gravel-like lines and quickly disappeared.
The fruits are ripe.
