There were flashes of white light before my eyes, and countless fragments passed by, but I couldn't see anything clearly.
Bai Di vaguely felt that someone was carrying him while walking in a daze. He wanted to see clearly, but the countless images that flooded his mind in an instant overwhelmed him.
Wow, then a cry was heard, but soon there was a noisy sound, the sound of many people running, the bustling sound of talking, and bursts of exclamations from time to time.
It was so noisy. Bai Di rubbed his head hard, trying to see what was happening, but it was no use.
"How, how, how could this happen?" Suddenly Bai Di felt as if he was in a man's body. He could only watch everything happening coldly, while the man was holding his head, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Alright, alright, Xiao He," an elderly man with long hair, white beard and a black robe squeezed out of the crowd and whispered comfortingly, "Although the child is weak, we are an ancient alchemy family after all. I believe there will be a way." The old man patted the man's shoulder gently.
The man was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I will go check the ancient books now, there must be a way." The man said and immediately ran towards the ancient book room.
The old man sighed heavily upon seeing this, and then instructed those around him, "Okay, go put the child in the coffin."
"Ah? But didn't you ask him to look up ancient books to save the child?" The young man next to him was obviously stunned by this unusual behavior.
"Silly child, even if we have the ability to turn stone into gold, even if we become a genius picked out of ten thousand, how can we go against the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness and death? It is simply impossible to bring the dead back to life." The old man obviously didn't want to say more.
"But..." The young man obviously wanted to say something more.
"Okay, go and do it. Xiao He is a loyal and righteous child. This child is also his and his wife's first child. They have been looking forward to it for a long time. After this blow, I don't want them to be devastated." After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head and left.
Bai Di shouldn't have been able to hear this conversation, after all, he was inside the man's body at that moment. However, the unbelievable thing was that he actually heard those words, and countless questions surged in his heart.
But soon, he had no time to care about these things. He saw the man running all the way to the ancient book room, flipping through all kinds of books like a madman: "No, this is not... Ah! This is not..."
One after another, priceless, rare alchemical tomes were discarded on the ground, like garbage, no one cared about them. Bai Di looked at these rare tomes and wanted to get a closer look, but seeing the man's careless treatment of them, he could only possess them, but he was helpless.
At this time, the sun had already set, and wave-like clouds were piled up in the sky.
Bai Di saw that the man seemed to have lost his mind and kept searching through the piles of books without daring to stop.
He should be Hermes, Bai Di guessed secretly in his heart.
"Ah, Ah, our child..." A woman's hoarse cry suddenly came from outside the door, "Why don't you look after our child? She has been buried in the soil." The woman's sobbing sound came from far away.
"Impossible, impossible, the patriarch promised me," Bai Di saw that the man seemed to have thought of something, then he threw the book down and ran to the door quickly.
Bai Di saw him running towards a woman like crazy. The woman's hair was messy. When he got closer, he could see tear marks on her face and dirt on her fingers, even in the cracks between her nails.
But even though she was holding a small swaddling baby in her arms, the bag was very small, but Bai Di inexplicably felt an unspeakable sadness in her heart, as if she was heartbroken to the bone, and her heart ached.
Hermes ran to the woman and hugged her, calling her name in a hoarse voice, "Styalian."
"Our child, you haven't seen her yet, right?" After Stialian said this, she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and immediately went limp.
At this moment, Bai Di separated from the man's body. He floated higher and higher, and involuntarily, he thought of his grandfather and his brother.
The man was silent, quietly hugging his wife. Their figures seemed particularly long in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were extending to the horizon.
However, in the next moment, the setting sun sank into the deep sea like a huge piece of gold, leaving only a dim night.
The wind began to blow, and the trees in the forest seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, swaying gracefully, like a green ocean with surging waves.
The weary birds also sensed the approach of night and flew back to their nests, seeking warmth and peace. The whole world was immersed in a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.
He felt the shaking getting more and more intense, and the next second, he opened his eyes.
As he opened his eyes, a strong sense of mystery overwhelmed him. The cave was tall and spacious, and a faint red glow filled the interior, as if the entire space was stained with a mysterious color.
He looked up, his eyes drawn to the exquisite carvings on the top. The patterns were intricate and strange, yet exuded an indescribable beauty.
Looking closely, one could vaguely discern the outline of a gigantic sacred tree, seemingly laden with fruit. Beneath the tree, countless figures crouched—no, to be more precise, they looked more like giant insects.
