Chapter 68 - Bai Xi's Only One
In the beginning of time, the world was not a void of chaos, but a cold and pale era.
On the ancient tortoise shells that have been excavated on this continent, there are vague pictographs of human ancestors. Thousands of years ago, there was a blizzard that swept across the land and lasted for several years.
The world was filled with crystal-clear ice crystals and snowflakes. It was an extremely harsh scene, but the falling snowflakes were like flowers with cracked ice patterns, turning the world into an innocent and romantic crystal ball.
The surviving ancestors lived in caves underground for years, waiting until the world was pure white and transparent, until the vast sea was covered with snow. Then, one day, the storm suddenly stopped.
The wind and snow cleared, and the world seemed to tremble.
As people peered out from the cave with their dark, obscured eyes, they discovered that all the ice cracks were grazing outwards towards the distant sea. It turned out that the unseen land was the eye of this blizzard.
They discovered that there was suddenly an extremely cold and clear "qi" in the human world.
The ancestors did not know what that energy was, and very few people were able to awaken it within their bodies. Because the fear of the severe cold was deeply ingrained in their bones, even many years later, after people had come to know that the first energy was "Ice Spirit Essence," the number of people on the continent who awakened Ice Spirit Bones remained extremely small.
They still do not know what the entity that brought ice and snow and the first spiritual energy of the five elements thousands of years ago was.
…
It was a very lively, ice-white giant snake.
She possessed the wings of a phoenix with rainbow colors, yet her body was as long as a dragon or snake, and her entire being was as cold as ice. When she sprang from the stone, the world was a vast expanse of white, and naturally, a number and a name were born within her nascent consciousness.
only.
Perhaps during her long, solitary years, someone saw her figure on the misty sea, and in the obscure tales of the mountains and seas, she was called the arm of the goddess Nuwa, who mended the sky. They prayed to the heavens and learned that this object was called Bai Xi. The snow and wind of thousands of years ago were so frigid because the heavens were leaking. It was these gods who repaired the firmament, and only then did later generations possess the ethereal spiritual energy. …
The only one who knew nothing about it.
From the moment she was born, she discovered that when she flicked her icy white serpentine tail, a snowfall would fall in the distance, and a gust of wind would blow from even further away. Every cause has its effect, and there is nothing else in between, only the slowly flowing passage of time and the invisible space in which she exists.
Every day she would tap and bang on that stone, trying to break it like an eggshell so that a playmate would pop out from inside.
She was so bored.
As the origin of the eternal ancestral stone, she was uniquely curious about the entire world and her own origins. However, no one in the world could answer her. Her place was isolated by the sea, and in the wilderness where she had experienced year-round ice and snow, there was no living being who could speak to her.
This made her feel very bored.
She existed since the beginning of time. Before time and space existed, she was already traversing the world. As she grew older, she could cross rivers and seas, climb mountains and ridges, and even quietly pass through the human world, observing human life as fleeting as mayflies, finding it utterly uninteresting.
It was probably from that time that compassion began to grow in Wei Yi's heart, which led her to save people she shouldn't have saved many years later, and also made her always clearly believe that the short-lived humans were not her kind.
Everything most important to her was contained in that everlasting stone.
At first, all she wanted was a playmate. Later, she started to get angry because she had to wait too long.
That year was exceptionally hot.
The rhythm of "fire" continuously emerged from the ancestral stone.
This person seems to be a fierce and menacing individual.
Born from stone, embracing simplicity and purity, this simple and pure nature was already written into the bones of each of them, until they stumbled and suffered losses.
The Everlasting Stone grew hotter and hotter, and the scorching heat met the only ice spirit, producing a sizzling sound and filling the air with steam.
From this moment on, the five elements and their corresponding attributes in the universe began to operate.
Ice is formed above water, and ice is destroyed by fire.
The only thing he realized was that this thing was meant to counter him, so he would wait nearby every day, hoping to have an earth-shattering battle with it.
Finally, after a long and scorching summer, a bright yellow and blazing spiritual energy emanated from the ancestral stone and began to exist in the human world. A strangely shaped object appeared on the stone.
That's a huge thing.
Even when it is newly born, the Fire Qilin is as large as a small mountain.
It looks like both a tiger and a leopard, with hard scales all over its body like armor. It has a strange appearance and its tail can breathe fire. It doesn't look like something to mess with.
It must be really impressive.
For the first few days, they stared at each other warily, like beasts.
The ice flowers that sprouted from the icy white snake tail were all melted by the opponent's fire, indicating that a deadly battle was inevitable between them.
The only smart decision was to strike at night.
The moonlight turns to ice upon landing, and the cool night air is enough to keep that fire-breathing behemoth in check.
Under the moon that night.
That ferocious and terrifying Qilin beast with its tail fins spewing fire.
He only knows how to use fire to boil water for himself.
He had somehow gathered a handful of dewy grass leaves, and with his enormous, scale-like toes capable of shattering mountains, he wove a hat there, carefully drying it with his tail fire, and covered it to his face, sleeping peacefully and gently.
From that day on, the only person I realized I could bully was this one.
He would never be angry with his own people.
His name is Bu Er.
