That night, Luo Lanxier and Bu Moyin stayed in an inn in the state capital.
An oil lamp was placed on the table, its dim light illuminating the room, lengthening the shadows of various objects and occasionally swaying with the candlelight.
After a quick wash, Loran Hill sat at the table, gazing at the light from the tabletop. A soft, warm glow enveloped his face. His long, damp hair still clung to a hint of dew, with a few strands scattered across his neck and shoulders, bringing a slight chill to his skin.
Before he knew it, his hair had returned to its original color. Loran Hill gathered a few strands of hair between his fingers and examined them carefully in his palm.
Looking back on the journey, she had unknowingly experienced so much. She lay on the table in her loose pajamas, her eyes reflecting crimson flames, thinking about the past.
From being a complete stranger at the beginning, to gradually becoming familiar with and integrating into this world, and finally accepting my own identity, looking back on it all, it really feels like a dream.
Unfortunately, this was not a dream. The girl looked at the palm of her hand, where a ball of transparent magic as water was gently swirling, changing colors under the light.
Undead, nature, angels, demons, dragons... Various sequences of magic changed in her palms, and their colors also changed accordingly, sometimes blue-green, sometimes orange-red, sometimes pure white, and sometimes dark black.
Extraordinary power, mana, where do they come from, and where will they go in the end? Faint thoughts lingered in the girl's mind.
What happened in the Sunset Mountains made her realize that even extraordinary magic power is not always good, but inevitably brings new problems. Therefore, the entire world, or the structure of society, must change to adapt to this new era.
From the struggles among the major factions in the Twilight Age to the subsequent construction of the Three Crowns of the Gods, all were aimed at exploring a feasible and perfect path.
But later, the tide of the Sea of Aegeka extinguished the constructed buildings, and mankind had to stop temporarily and look for a new direction.
.....
If it were me, what kind of future would I hope to see? The girl thought so, then slowly sat up, walked to the bedside, and found the wooden box that contained the Xunmu fruit.
After opening the wooden box, it felt cold to the touch. Loran Hill picked up the wood-seeking fruit, looked at it carefully, then washed it with water, removed the white frost on the surface, and held it in the palm of his hand.
After a slight hesitation, Loranhill opened his mouth and took a bite.
So cold.
Like frozen jelly, the flesh slides down the tongue and can be swallowed into the stomach with a light chew.
A feeling of being both awake and sleepy emerged in Loran Hill's mind.
She took a few more bites, slowly absorbing the fruit completely, and then she lay down on the bed, resisting the sleepiness.
Not long after, an exceptionally clear dream emerged in my mind.
It was a noisy and chaotic world, an era where all kinds of information, ideas, and assumptions filled the internet and reality. In just a few decades, people experienced dramatic social changes, which in turn formed vastly different ways of thinking and living habits.
This rapid and intense change has also given rise to various anxieties. The world is full of hostility, but also full of sympathy; full of hope, but also losing confidence in the future.
And on this past Earth, an ordinary life was born.
Like a bystander, Loran Hill watched this newborn child, following its growth, experiencing setbacks, joy, regret, hesitation, indecision, endurance, and finally setting out on the journey again.
Everything in past memories is presented from a calm and objective perspective, and that person's strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses are also presented one by one in his own eyes.
Is this me? She couldn't help but think so, and slowly discovered the source of many of her thoughts.
It turns out that I am not that unfortunate. Although I have encountered many failures and setbacks in my life, I have also received a lot of care along the way and encountered several happy things. This has allowed me to maintain a certain level of compassion, and when I suffer setbacks, I can still retain a little persistence and unwillingness to start over again.
Watching the scenes unfold before her, the girl felt as if she were rediscovering herself. It was like driving a car for years. While others might not know its quality, she knew every detail intimately: which slopes allowed her to drive straight up, how much angle she needed to turn, how much throttle to apply to avoid going too fast or too slow, and how to make an emergency stop safely and quickly. It was like an extension of her body, a part of her.
Not every difficulty needs to be overcome, and not every setback is worth being thankful for. Sometimes choosing things that suit you, that you like, and that you can bear will make your life more comfortable and maximize your abilities.
Time passed slowly, followed by a long darkness and the hazy scenes seen in the twilight era, hundreds of years of silent waiting until the bright sun rose over the Sea of Aegeka.
Scenes from the past, and images of humans exploring the galaxy, appeared in the girl's eyes, until everything returned to darkness again, and she woke up slowly in a quiet woods.
I clearly remember it was an afternoon with bright sunshine. The oranges falling beside me were green and yellow, sweet and sour, and the forest in the mountains was as green as the sea, beautiful and colorful.
Then he fell into a deep sleep again, until he woke up seven years later... Then he went to Hopeland, Emenas, returned to Cransia, entered the Sanctuary, participated in the war, until he saw the shining Sun Crown descend again.
In the room shrouded in darkness, Loran Hill's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the pattern of alternating sun and moon appeared on his forehead again, but this time it was more intense than any other time.
