When the golden light in front of me disappeared, the extreme darkness in the universe finally collapsed. As the golden light faded, white light began to appear in front of me. In this light of dawn, I could vaguely see a singer in a green robe standing on the peak of the mountain. He looked up at me and sang —
In the beginning of time, who taught?
Without form, how to test?
Ming Zhao Yue, who can reach the extreme?
Feng Yi is only an image, how to recognize?
Obviously, he is Yi, but what is time?
Yin and Yang are three, what is the origin and what is the transformation?
Circle has nine layers, who can pass through?
What merit is this, what is the beginning?
What is the connection, what is the end of heaven?
What are the eight pillars, what is the loss of the southeast?
In the nine heavens, where to settle?
There are many corners, who knows the number?
What is the limit of heaven?
What is the division of twelve?
Sun and moon?
Sun and moon?
The song went from near to far, gradually fading away. The singer in the green robe disappeared, and the white light in front of me became brighter.
There was no sunlight, and the bright white light came from the reflection of the ice. I was still standing on the frozen lake, but there was no hole around me, and the golden egg was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there were many short grass with four petals on the ice. In the grass, there was a bald man kneeling on the ground. His upper body and head were pressed against the ice, and his body was trembling. He didn't even dare to lift his head to look at me. He was only mumbling something.
I frowned and found information about this person from my dusty memories. He was Wu Jiuzhui's son, Wu Huan. I had fought with him back then.
Why are you here?
After experiencing the endless years of loneliness, my voice had become empty and cold, as though the vanished universe had been corroded by the Netherworld.
Hearing my question, Wu Huan lifted his body slightly, but he still didn't lift his head. He replied in a fearful voice, "I'm here to pick the Acacia Leaf."
Acacia Leaf?
I looked at the short grass on the ice and realized that the shape of the grass was familiar. After searching through my memories, Vivian's figure appeared in my mind. Back then, she had asked me to find the Longevity Grass, and she had described the appearance of the grass in front of me.
This is the Longevity Grass. Why do you call it the Acacia Leaf?
Wu Huan immediately replied. The Yearning Leaf was another name for it.
I didn't ask Wu Huan again, but a beautiful legend of the Monster Domain appeared in my mind.
There were thousands of races in the Demon Realm, and among them, the race with the shortest lifespan was the Mayfly Race of the Southern Province. It was said that their lifespan was only a day, and all of them were female.
In such a short period of time, there wasn't even enough time for them to experience the entire process of birth, aging, sickness, and death. As such, Mayfly beings were born with the appearance of beautiful young women, and their appearances wouldn't change in the slightest even after their deaths.
Everything had two extremes. Since there were races that lived and died in the Demon Realm, there were also races that lived forever. The jellyfish race in the Eastern Sea Region was one such lucky race.
There was a huge difference in lifespans between the two races, but there were similarities in terms of gender. Just like the Mayfly Race, the Jellyfish Race was also a monogamous race, and all of them were male.
The distance between the Southern Province and the Eastern Sea Region was not far, but there was the Ruoshui Lake in between.
The short lifespan of the Mayfly Race wasn't enough for them to get to know many of their fellow race members, let alone the Sea Race that was thousands of miles away.
However, this was where the miracle of creation was shown. The Ruoshui Lake was connected to the Eastern Sea Region. Every two hundred years, there would be a high tide period that lasted for a day. Under the strong pushing force of the seawater, some of the Eastern Sea Race would travel along the Ruoshui Lake to the depths of the inner region. After taking a quick glance, they would return to their habitats with the ebbing tide.
The high tide period that happened once every two hundred years was a rare sightseeing experience for the Sea Race that had a long lifespan. However, to the Mayfly Race that lived and died, it was a miracle that only existed in legends.
Fortunately, this miracle was real.
Many, many years ago, a beautiful and lucky Mayfly Race girl personally saw the Ruoshui Lake during a high tide period.
In the eyes of the petite and light Mayfly Race girl, the only difference between the surface of the Ruoshui Lake and the sky was that the sky could only be seen, while the surface of the Ruoshui Lake could be stepped on.
Almost every member of the Mayfly Race spent their entire lives on the surface of the Ruoshui Lake. In their short lives, there were no other emotions, only endless happiness.
They played and frolicked on the surface of the lake, and their greatest fear came from the ugly fish in the water. However, to the lithe and light Mayfly Race girls with a pair of transparent wings, this kind of fear was nothing. They could easily fly and avoid the jumping or breathing of the ugly fish, then they could happily laugh at these ugly monsters.
However, life wasn't always so peaceful and happy. Not long after the legendary lucky Mayfly Race girl was born, the Ruoshui Lake suddenly changed.
The surface of the lake, which had always been as calm as the sky, suddenly began to churn. Even the large and ugly fish at the bottom of the lake were tossed into the air, wailing in pain.
All of the Mayfly Maidens flew up into the air. Even for them who were filled with joy, this apocalyptic scene was a little too frightening. There was a constant stream of Mayfly Maidens who fell from exhaustion and disappeared into the churning lake water.
In the midst of such a disaster, the lucky Mayfly Race girl saw a youth floating on the surface of the water.
In fact, there were many members of the Sea Race who came to the Inner Six during the flood season. However, these large members of the Sea Race obviously didn't exist in the eyes of the Mayfly Race's small eyes. They could only see the floating members of the Sea Race.
It was a youth from the Jellyfish Race. His completely transparent body was like a beautiful miracle in a dream, and even the Mayfly Race girl felt ashamed of her inferiority.
He was the most senior member of the Flood Season Sightseeing Group. In his long life, 200 years was nothing more than an instant. Even he himself couldn't remember how many times he had come to the depths of the Inner Six. Thus, when he saw the Mayfly Race girl, his heart didn't waver in the slightest. He only smiled faintly and turned his gaze elsewhere.
In fact, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. The movement of the water was relative to his small body, and every second was a new world to him. This was the significance of sightseeing.
How long was one second?
For the Jellyfish Race boy, it wasn't even an instant. But for the lucky Mayfly Race girl, one second was long enough for her to sink into that beautiful and transparent dream.
She forgot about time and everything else. When the clansmen around her fell into the churning lake, she still flew freely. Even when the tide receded and she landed on the surface of the lake again, and a new generation of clansmen was born around her, she was still in a state of oblivion.
The power of this oblivion was so strong that she forgot about death.
The Ruoshui Lake became peaceful again. The Mayfly Race girl who had been forgotten by time was no longer happy. She also forgot to laugh and just waited calmly.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Tens of thousands of clansmen were born and died by her side. It was so long that history couldn't even record it. But for her, it was only a short instant.
Not only was she forgotten by time, but even the huge and ugly fish at the bottom of the lake forgot to swim around her. Every autumn, the falling leaves would carefully avoid her body.
Only the flood season would not change. Two hundred years later, when the Ruoshui Lake started to churn again, the old and beautiful Mayfly Race girl had no strength to fly again. In fact, she didn't even think about whether she should fly or not. She just tried her best to look in the direction of the distant sea, looking forward to that beautiful and transparent dream that made people sink into oblivion.
On the surface of the water, a new generation of Sea Race sightseeing group arrived. No one knew whether the Mayfly Race girl saw that beautiful dream again. They only knew that when a crystal clear wave came crashing over, the Mayfly Race girl laughed happily again.
The beautiful and old Mayfly Maiden flew along with the waves and landed on the shore. After the waves receded, there was only a four-petaled blade of grass left on the ground.
Longevity Grass, also known as Acacia Leaf, could increase one's lifespan by two hundred years and make one young forever.
