The author's memories and visions
I can't stay in the human world anymore. Every time I do something "demonic," it turns out to be auspicious.
I dined and dashed, which attracted the attention of the restaurant owner, waiters, cooks, and other diners who all came out to chase after me.
Before they had even run two blocks, the restaurant collapsed due to a broken roof beam.
They wanted to worship me, but I was so scared that I ran away underground.
They fled to a mountain forest, which was filled with smog and smoke. Looking around, there was no one or anything alive in the wilderness, and a group of old trees were all withered branches.
I had a wicked thought and set off a fire from the sky.
As I tread on the flames, walking on the fertile, burnt-to-the-ground plain, I feel smug about my evil deeds.
This ancient land, which had been trapped for thousands of years, emerged covered in black and gray dust, its face ashen, and offered its thanks.
"Goddess, Goddess, we will never forget your kindness in saving us. This humble fairy wishes to offer our worship on behalf of the people within a radius of five thousand miles!"
My initial excitement vanished instantly.
It turns out that this forest is a poisonous forest soul-devouring formation built by demons and monsters. There are no living creatures inside, but any living creatures that are attracted and bewitched by the forest are devoured as soon as they enter.
This forest is strange, devoid of any demonic aura. Mortals consider it a menacing mountain shrouded in miasma, blocking their path. Those who went in to exorcise demons have yet to emerge. But passing deities glanced at it and declared the mountain to be nothing unusual.
Ordinary people would go to the local temple to burn incense and kneel in prayer, hoping that the mountain would be moved so that they would not have to take a detour.
The old landman, trapped underground, wept bitterly, crying out, "Mortals, move the mountains! Save me!"
I sighed as I watched the new seedlings sprout from the soil, the raging mountain burned down to become fertile land.
I even see future seasons where people carry loads on shoulder poles and hoes, men bend over to till the land, women light fires to cook, children run wildly among the fields, and travelers, weary from their journeys, lie down in the fields.
To put it simply: "The vastness of heaven and earth is like a curtain, my heart finds peace amidst the boundless rivers."
Ah, leisure! Ah, vastness! Ah, the mystery of heaven and earth! Ah, this goddess will become a demon, a demon, a demon!
Fine, if the human world won't tolerate my evil deeds, then I'll go back to heaven to find a way out.
I flashed back to the Immortal Realm from the Butterfly Dream Bell, but the worries in my heart betrayed me; I was still wandering around the Purple Extreme Palace.
The new Heavenly Emperor, who had a clear view of the Purple Extreme Palace, immediately noticed me. I, too, was as wary as prey, and glanced at the sky above the Purple Extreme Palace.
Hehe, what a great place. Isn't the Endless Starfield a perfect place to do evil?
I leaped up and rushed into the starry palace atop the Purple Palace, where the stars shone brightly and the light shone like a deep blue sky.
The worlds within the endless star field are not limited to ten directions, a hundred directions, or ten thousand directions; they are endless, endless.
The number of stars here is unimaginable.
Every world needs a starry sky, for the starry sky contains the laws governing that world.
And how many worlds are there? I can't count them all. Their starry sky is just a series of overlapping, loose, compact, and solitary pieces...
Like fallen leaves filling the sky at the height of autumn, drifting across the endless star field, directly connecting to the void.
To say they resemble fallen leaves wouldn't be accurate; in the indigo star field, countless pairs of eyes, like Xie Jinhui's, are filled with stars...
Sparkling everywhere, casting flirtatious glances.
Oh, I miss him.
Even though I learned from Su Ling that he had been determined to die with me, to die cleanly with those seven desires, I still miss him.
There's no other way. Everything I'm doing now is just my last act of celebration, something I've fought for myself.
Since it was a carnival, I picked a few stars from those endless starry eyes to play with.
In the star field, mature stars will form star clusters and galaxies, forming a collection called the universe.
As the universe solidified and developed, the star officials then hung it in the star field, forming a floating star curtain.
When stars possess a celestial canopy for spatial and temporal positioning, and celestial spirits bestowed by star officials, they have the opportunity to conceive life in their own way.
There are many forms of life, some based on elements, others on gases, light, thought, or even the absence of thought.
My knowledge of this is limited.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Star Official was watering the Star Spirit Tree and hadn't noticed me, I chose a section of the star screen containing blue water spheres and slipped inside.
The blue water sphere spins and spins, and I run and run along its history.
I went from the beginning of time to the vast ocean, and from the time when dinosaurs roamed freely to when I lived in treetops.
It ran down the tree and moved forward with the vision of a two-legged creature.
I have run through battlefields where dynasties changed hands, and I have also run through prosperous times of singing and dancing.
Looking at the fine clothes and coarse linen robes, how did they become shorter and shorter?
They ran and ran on two legs until mortals could fly through the sky and dive into the sea using iron tools.
I ran to the towering buildings and the interstellar space, I ran to mortals and shouted that conquering the universe is the ultimate goal.
They ran and ran, until finally they ran back to where it all began.
The Star Curtain has its time limit; when the time comes, it will simply move the universe to another dimension.
I didn't expect to lose interest after only running through one history section.
Xie Jinhui is right. In any world that follows the laws of Yin and Yang, there will be men and women, and there will be various oppositions such as right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness.
Actually, I also wanted to see the worlds of three, four, five, six, and seven. I only glanced at the three and saw the profound mystery within.
They were drawn to the "Jade Branch Moon Soul Tree" covered with Star Spirit Babies in the distance, where the silver starlight grass of the star field stretched out.
I was thinking, what would it be like if we threw the stars that should be hanging in the Milky Way into the lava rivers of the earth's veins, and then hung the little flames from the lava in the sky?
If the two kinds of stars shine infinitely, reflecting each other in the sky and underground, creating a sea of crimson and silvery lava starlight, wouldn't that create a chaotic and upside-down landscape of the demon realm?
The goddess Yuan'e was able to pretend to be a devil for a while, which was quite a treat.
I glanced around and saw the star official in silver robes, holding a star-chain pot, going to the Star Pavilion to assign duty positions to the star lords who would be on duty in the celestial realm that night.
The opportunity was just right. I tiptoed through the waist-high grass, whispering "Go away, go away" as I gently blew away the curious eyes that kept gathering around to see what I was doing.
After much effort, I finally climbed to the back of the thick, shimmering tree of the Qiongzhi Yuepo Tree.
Trees don't have front, back, left, or right sides; it's all up to me to decide. The part that the star official can see when he looks back is called the front, and the part that blocks my view is called the back.
The Star Spirit Babies on the tree were just tiny, slightly glowing seeds. When I bumped into the tree, the obedient ones slid down the tree.
I opened the Qiankun bag and started filling it.
Seeing the bag bulging, and thinking that bringing too much would be easily discovered, I muttered under my breath, "That's enough, that's enough!"
Suddenly, I felt a star-like breeze blowing on my neck behind the tree, followed by the clear and kind voice of the Star Official.
"Goddess Yuan'e, this isn't enough, take more!"
I was startled, then overjoyed. The goddess Yuan'e had been caught red-handed stealing the Star Spirit; finally, I had some devilish flair.
Immediately, I turned my head to face the star official surrounded by stars, who smiled shyly like a crescent moon on the second day of the lunar month, his "devilish" face twisted in a ferocious expression, demanding a frank confession.
I described my vision of the demon realm to him, and the star official stroked his chin, his expression shifting from shock and contemplation to joy, and finally to complete agreement.
“Goddess Yuan’e,” he said, his tone making it sound like he saw me as a savior rather than a calamity.
"What a coincidence! As you probably know, one of my duties as a celestial being in charge of the endless star fields is to arrange the complete cycle of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness for these star-covered universes."
When it came to the concept of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness, he pursed his lips and repeated it several times, as if he were trapped in a deep-seated vexation that he could never finish writing about even if he wrote those four words a trillion times.
I instantly understood the pain he was showing, nodded repeatedly, and said something that made him immediately feel a sense of kinship with me.
"Lord Mu Xun, are you trying to say that you've exhausted your inspiration from writing those stories about formation, existence, decay, and emptiness, and now you can't come up with anything new?"
With a whoosh, Star Lord Mu Fan appeared, his body shrouded in starlight, holding a handful of starlight. As he stuffed star spirits into my Qiankun bag, he said, "Goddess Yuan'e, your trick just now was quite good. The scene and the details were extremely impressive."
Please come with me, little fairy, and let's destroy the world!
Wow, this tea came so easily! It's world-ending! World-ending!
This demon kept nodding, then kept pounding garlic.
"Go, go, go!" So exciting!
However, Mu Xun took me to destroy the world, and I thought it would satisfy my desire to become a demon.
But upon entering a dark planet within the starry sky, they discovered that the world was utterly empty, a void of chaos.
My celestial body drifted in a deathly silence devoid of direction, light, water, and everything else.
Mu Xun took my Qiankun bag and began to incubate the Star Spirit in his palm.
He raised his other hand and turned to ask me.
"Goddess Yuan'e, please decide which direction is down?"
I was filled with unease, wondering if the Star Lord Mu Huan had lost his mind. Why did he drag me here to destroy a world that had nothing? How could I destroy it, and where should I even begin?
When he asked me where "down" was, I instinctively pointed to the north of the Immortal Realm, which I could still sense.
Ordinary people say that calling a deer a horse is the act of a treacherous minister, but I am no less righteous in calling north a lower position.
The wicked will never lose their way; they can reverse up and down, left and right, black and white, good and evil, and wherever they say is north, that is north.
With a flick of his sleeve to the north, Mu Hongxing drew a bloody mark that seemed to destroy the world.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that to the north, below where this world had been created, lay a terrifying abyss, and the red color was not blood, but a pool of magma boiling over.
Soon, they began to bubble and spew flames under the scorching heat of the immortal energy.
I think the magma's tongue will grow back soon, and it will even be able to talk all over the place about its views on the new world and Hatsune Miku.
But Mu Xun cut off his tongue completely and rolled it up into the sky, right behind us.
Oh, this is going according to my plan. Throw lava and flames into the sky, and then put the Protoss into the lava that can't open its mouth.
I felt that the sense of disorientation between the north and south of the world was too strong. Mu Xun gently swayed the star map on his body, and the world adjusted its angle.
Looking up at the sky, I saw sulfurous fire rain falling from the sky, sprinkling down in a magnificent display.
The sky stirred, the wind blew across the fields, and then thunder roared.
Looking down at the starlit earth, one sees rivers of silver light accumulating and stardust forming crystalline bridges.
The fiery sky and the crystal earth seemed to resonate with each other, and suddenly, from heaven and earth, two crystal trees with intertwined roots, connected by celestial fire, emerged.
The fruit that grows on the tree represents a possibility for the development of this world.
Mu Xun told me to pick any one of the flowers, to give this world a future, and at the same time extinguish other possibilities.
I shook my head and landed on a crystal bridge to look around.
"Let the world decide for itself."
I also want to see the fiery sunset and the Milky Way.
At this moment, I understood what Mu Xun meant by the destruction of the world: the destruction of everything, and then the birth of a new life.
Mu Xun stood beside me, having bestowed upon the land of starlight a boat that could travel through the sea of stars on earth, and across the horizon where starlight met, to the flames in the sky.
The cycle repeats itself.
I said, is this the sun of this world?
Mu Xun smiled. "Before the sun and moon are born, when the world order is stable, this ship will become its virtual mountain."
Void Realm Mountain?
That is the paradise, the pure land, the palace of immortals, the secluded paradise that every mortal in the world yearns for.
It is actually a creation within the cycle of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness.
Mu Xun saw that I was lost in thought, my eyes vacant, as if I could see through the immortal realm and reach the source.
He suddenly opened his mouth and asked me, "Goddess Yuan'e, I always feel that you come from one."
I was completely confused and just gave a casual answer.
"One? Then who is zero?"
He smiled faintly, "I didn't know before, but I have a slight feeling about it today. It might be Emperor Su Ling."
Why did Mu Xun mention him? The moment he did, all those zeros and ones went completely off track.
My mind went astray, so I quickly warned Mu Xun.
"Don't say things like that again, it's too distorted!"
In this tiny world of destruction, creation, and the collision and fusion of sparks, the goddess who could easily change their fate thought about the future she herself had to face.
Suddenly, I smiled with relief and had an epiphany.
The star official's eyes reflected the world, silently watching me, and he spoke with a smile.
"What is the goddess Yuan'e thinking?"
I sit on the Crystal Bridge, doing nothing, simply "existing".
"I want to meet someone, to be born with them, to perish with them, to be reborn with them, to be destroyed with them..."
"As long as we're together...anything is fine," I said.
