I miss you all so much, and I'm so grateful that I met you all and the clowns during this period of my life.
Be yourself, Cheng Shi. When you think of us, we'll still be there for you.
Li Jingming smiled slightly, and countless memories flashed before him. The azure glow flowed and swirled, stirring up gusts of breeze that blew toward Cheng Shi.
Amidst the fluttering of his Taoist robe, the Dragon King's gaze seemed to pierce through the vicissitudes of time, returning to the past.
"This is the most treasured piece in the collection of [Memory], which records the arrival of [Existence]."
Countless memories surged forth, transforming into azure threads that enveloped Cheng Shi. All Cheng Shi saw was that after the previous era had vanished into endless chaos, the omnipresent voice of the [Primordial Beginning] echoed once more in the universe.
He said:
"Life has fallen into ruin, and civilization has become chaotic."
The vicissitudes of life all exist.
Memory can attest to it, and time is its proof.
This is the appearance of memory and existence, the shadow of vicissitudes;
This is the essence of time and existence, as formless as the wind...
The voice of the Creator collapsed with a deafening roar, chaos exploded into a blazing white, endless matter began to solidify, and [Existence] descended at this moment.
"......"
When Cheng Shi finally came to his senses from this cherished memory, the Dragon King was no longer there, and another figure had been waiting for him for a long time.
Longjing!
The acrobat stared at Cheng Shi, quite indignant, and said:
“I said I wanted to be the first one, but they wouldn’t let me. They insisted on following some kind of destiny order. I think they were just jealous of me and didn’t want my name to be engraved first.”
Cheng Shi, will there really be monuments in the new world?
Cheng Shi snapped out of his reverie from the distant past, looked at the Longjing tea that had comforted him in this way, and nodded with mixed feelings:
"Yes, but you can only be second, because I am first."
"???"
Longjing was unconvinced, but upon further reflection, it had to admit defeat:
"That's fine, at least I'm still ahead of them in line."
But then again, if you're clearly part of the new world, why would you have your name engraved on the monument?
Cheng Shi fell silent. He shifted his gaze to the endless void and murmured, "...Longjing, it's better for people to be a little slow."
Longjing's expression also became complicated. He shook his head: "It's true that it's better for people to be a little stupid, but I can't be stupid."
"......"
Cheng Shi sighed, "You're always so focused on being in the spotlight. Can you accept staying behind the scenes all the time?"
Longjing was taken aback, then said seriously, "If that's the case, then let me do it."
"I know I can't hide it from you, but aren't you worried that Huanyu's efforts will be in vain?"
Who would worry about that?
My only concern is that you're all under far too much of the spotlight, as for anything about the future...
"You're Cheng Shi, what's there to worry about?"
Yes, I am indeed Cheng Shi, but it is precisely because I am Cheng Shi that I am worried.
I have so many worries. I keep wondering if that "Cheng Shi" is also caught in a dilemma like me.
If this experiment truly has no hope, then why would [*He] initiate a new cycle?
I want to ask you, and I want to ask myself:
"Can I trust you, Cheng Shi?"
No, perhaps it should be:
"Can I trust you, [Yuan Chu]?"
