However, after losing the dazzling brilliance of the stories and rumors, the reality before us appears even bleaker.
The young boy's voice sounded somewhat low, as if he felt a trace of disappointment with reality: "I never thought that even the things left behind by these legendary figures could not escape the passage of time and would show signs of wear and tear..."
I glanced back at Hikari, and with her silent encouragement, I exerted a little force to easily hang on the boy's back. I quickly followed up and squatted down steadily on his head, looking down at him: "Do you feel that time is too cruel now?"
Ai An was silent for a moment, then tightened her grip on the book in her arms: "Mm."
I patted his head a few times: "Weren't you still looking forward to it the whole way?"
"Because I feel that such legendary figures might still exist in some corner of this world..."
"And then you get disappointed when you see reality, right?"
"……Um."
I hissed, feeling a chill run down my spine: "Please, those were people from at least six hundred years ago. Unless one can officially embark on one of the few eternal paths, who can live that long? Even the longest-lived elf has turned to ashes!"
Not to mention that people are not as easy to preserve as objects; all that is needed is a constant technique that is reinforced from time to time.
However, even the most consistent techniques will eventually run out and there will come a day when they can no longer be continued.

"That's what everyone says," I said vaguely.
But it's not so easy to get up there.
Leaving aside the requirement of being unique, there are countless directions to explore, but the path to the end is often hidden deep in layers of mist, with only the distant tower visible when one looks up.
Just like Yong'an Island, which always floats above people's heads but can never be reached, the distance between them is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
Not to mention, there are also those who, after embarking on this journey, suddenly go mad, wanting to give up that endless life, but are powerless to do so.
For those people, eternity is nothing but an endless curse.
I cannot understand why Aion raised this question.
Why do people seek eternity?
Is it because life is short?
I tried asking him.
Another day of suffering from sudden tenosynovitis in my left hand... although it's much better now.
