Chapter 257: Divine Departure
In the ashes after the fire burned out, a beautiful and tall girl stood quietly in the embers. She lowered her eyes and looked at the charred ground, as if something was lying there quietly.
The pure breath of life flowed from her body and spread outward. The seeds remaining under the ground began to emerge under the nourishment of life, and the tender sprouts firmly pushed through the soil and emerged from the ground.
The traces of past destruction gradually dissipated, and the seeds hidden in the soil took root and sprouted again, as if the spring of the following year had arrived.
After destruction, new life is destined to be born, and life will multiply and continue endlessly.
On the treetop, a crow that was much larger than its age fell from the sky. The flapping of its wings brought a hurricane, blowing away the ashes on the ground. He lowered his head and looked at the figure under the tree.
At the same time, the beautiful girl under the dead tree sensed the presence of Ji Mo. She looked up, tears streaming down her pretty cheeks, and countless mists rising from her hazy eyes. The tears fell to the ground, nourishing more seeds. At this moment, she completely got rid of the shadow of the past. The assimilation of the tree demon disappeared, and the limitations of human beings themselves were burned out in the flames. The former tree demon completely merged with her. Under the tempering of the eternal fire, she turned into a mountain elf, welcoming a new life with pure life. Guided by Feng Han, she became a real mountain ghost, transcending the limitations of the body and reaching the sixth level in one step.
……
The eternally burning fire burned the world, and the remaining ashes were blown away by the breeze. The black fog hanging above the sky also gradually dissipated. They flew into the highest sky, condensed together, and turned into a black sphere that was invisible to the public.
All over the world, seeds that remain on the ground and escape the flames are reborn, taking root, sprouting, and growing at hundreds of times the speed, until they grow into towering trees. Tender buds grow on the huge branches, and the flower buds gradually grow and bloom. In the breeze, the pollen in the flower buds combines and new fruits grow.
The sky was clear, and in an instant, the destruction that had once existed was gone. The flames of summer gradually dissipated, and a cool breeze blew from the far end of the world, blowing the fallen leaves and ripe fruits from the trees to the ground. Newborn animals walked out of their nests and enjoyed the fruits of the harvest.
Autumn is here.
……
In the hazy mist, Bai Shui covered his mouth in surprise, looking at the world in front of him that was like a painting, which quickly changed from withering to the prosperity of autumn. "What...what is this?"
Behind her, Zhao Ruoxi's furry ears trembled slightly, the smile on her face still there. She murmured softly, "This is the world."
"The frenzy of summer fades, the prosperity of autumn arrives, and then comes the withering of winter."
Suddenly, Bai Shui felt a melancholy mood coming from behind him, from Zhao Ruoxi.
It was as if the cheerful and confident Zhao Ruoxi of the past had undergone some changes, as if her cheerfulness and enthusiasm were just the outer shell she showed, and the melancholy in her heart was the real her. Bai Shui turned his head and looked at her somewhat stiff smile, and he bit his lower lip inadvertently.
Bai Shui raised her arm and gently stroked Zhao Ruoxi's wrist. Her pink paw pads felt like she was stepping on milk. With motherly tenderness, she gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Ruoxi lowered her head and looked at Bai Shui. Her stiff smile disappeared and she shook her head gently: "It's okay, I just thought of some bad things. After all, no matter how faint the aura is, it is still his trace. Seeing this, coupled with the guidance of my current emotions, it is inevitable that I feel a little emotional."
As she spoke, Zhao Ruoxi seemed to be angry, her pink lips pouting and she kept mumbling.
What a scumbag, he abandoned her after having fun with her, he still ran around even after having a child, and he didn't even know how to spend time with his own daughter. All these words came out of Zhao Ruoxi's mouth.
Perhaps she was a little tired from talking, or perhaps it was the infection of the emotion that Zhao Ruoxi had escaped from, she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows curved, revealing a pure smile: "Comfortable!"
Bai Shui tilted her head and looked at Zhao Ruoxi blankly. She really couldn't understand Zhao Ruoxi's previous actions. Maybe this was the trouble that the children of a wealthy family should have. She couldn't understand it. She just stayed by Zhao Ruoxi's side silently, rubbing her gently with the hair on her body, and occasionally letting her stroke it. This was the only thing Bai Shui could do. Perhaps the so-called friends were there to accompany her at times like this.
Outside the white fog, the mountain ghost and the crow looked at each other. The crow's scarlet pupils moved slightly, and its beak opened lightly, but it said nothing and just sighed softly.
The pitch-black crow vibrated its wings, and its huge wings spread out, blocking out the sunlight and forming a large shadow. A strong smell of death lingered on him. At this moment, Ji Mo seemed to gradually understand some things. His original lively, talkative and teasing nature was gradually fading. The death lingering on his body was like an endless burden, pressing heavily on him. He flapped his wings, flew into the sky, feeling the pull from his heart, and soared around.
The two people in the white mist stared at Ji Mo's figure. Bai Shui said with some concern: "What happened to him? Why does he suddenly seem to have changed so much?"
Zhao Ruoxi echoed from behind: "Don't you think his personality is different from what he appears to be?"
"what?"
Bai Shui was a little surprised and couldn't understand what Zhao Ruoxi said, but he was also a little confused. Why did Zhao Ruoxi know Ji Mo from outside, and how did she know his personality in the outside world? Wasn't this the first time they met?
Seeing the thoughts revealed on Bai Shui's face, Zhao Ruoxi smiled softly: "I don't know him, and I've never seen him in the outside world. I just know him because I have more experience than you."
"Don't you think he's completely different here than he is outside? His personality should be completely different, right?"
Thinking that Zhao Ruoxi was the descendant of a big family and had much more experience than them, it was very reasonable for Bai Shui to say so. He listened to Zhao Ruoxi's words and began to recall, and nodded slightly after a moment.
"Yes, a little. He's more gloomy outside. Although he appears very enthusiastic, his occasional glances make me feel very cold. He's nowhere near as lively as he is here. Although his words are very touching, I always feel like there's a transparent wall between us. No one has ever seen what's inside the wall."
Zhao Ruoxi smiled slightly, raised her right hand, and pointed her finger at the endless sky. The wheel gradually turned into a dark sphere.
"He is assimilating with the outside world and becoming his outside self."
"what?"
"Why?" Zhao Ruoxi didn't answer Bai Shui. She paused for a moment, then continued to herself, "His hatred for the outside world, his dissatisfaction with the past, his resentment towards his fate, and even the pain of his own inability to change things, made him gradually hate himself and the entire world. The intense pain made him isolate himself. He wanted to die but couldn't, so he chose to escape. That's how he became. He always had a hope in his heart, so he was always in pain, walking on the edge of the divine, unable to enter.
