324: Chapter 63: Distant Deity (6K)_4 324: Chapter 63: Distant Deity (6K)_4 I wanted to teach her to recognize many, many words.
I wanted to take her on many, many roads.
When I was about to die,
I would take her to visit the Great Yue Well one more time.
If this time, we could successfully arrive…
I would ask her,
what she saw in the well.
…
…
It’s just a pity
that in this world, everything exists but ‘if.’
Li Mei’s soul gathered slowly but dispersed quickly.
A deity’s favor eventually comes to an end—
When I wanted to trek again, I could no longer walk, only sit in a wheelchair, trapped in a confined space.
I probably, most likely…
won’t live to see that time.
However,
a young “outsider” has recently come to the alley.
The youth’s surname is Xie, and he is truly flesh and blood.
I don’t know why, but when I look at him, I feel an inexplicable sense of kinship…
Li Mei is a “person” who has lived a Second Life.
This young man speaks and behaves with a maturity beyond his years, not at all like a youth.
But what truly attracts me,
is this young man’s soul.
In the first life, He taught me how to see clearly into a person’s soul.
I see this young man, resembling many of the Li Mei of the Great Yue Kingdom.
The Li Mei of the Great Yue Kingdom, though their souls are incomplete, still cling to hatred due to their destroyed nation.
This young man’s soul also exudes an incomplete “beauty.”
Deep within his soul, there is a string, pulled taut.
I guess, he must be a person with a strong attachment.
If one day I can no longer continue this journey, I must find a very reliable person to take Qing Li to the Great Yue Well.
…
…
[“What a pity.”]
[“What a pity.”]
[“There were so many things, I didn’t get the chance to say.”]
[“I should’ve asked Xie Zhen to remember, to ask Qing Li…
what she saw in the Great Yue Well.”]
[“I should’ve begged Xie Zhen, if he had the strength, to please also take the foolish Mu Niu and those Li Mei away from this place.”]
[“I should have…”]
[“I should have ended all my regrets, right there and then.”]
The old woman sat in a wheelchair.
Though her eyes were open, she could see nothing; blood continuously flowed from her eye sockets, and all sights were blurred.
Countless thoughts,
flowed and converged in an instant,
only to shatter.
She could neither see nor hear—
The roar that reverberated through Tiesuo Alley, capable of destroying everything, seemed muted and silent, as if time had briefly paused.
After a moment,
her world crumbled in an instant; the heavens and earth did not turn dark, on the contrary, countless holy lights engulfed her.
The raging torrent swallowed her.
Coming from the void, returning to the void.
Perhaps death is like this—
After death, there is no pain, no regrets, no remorse.
But the next moment,
the Silent Annihilation world suddenly regained its sound.
“Shasha shasha shasha…”
It was the sound of the wind.
She seemed to have returned to that day years ago, becoming that child who had wiped her eyes, no longer timid, in a moment she carefully removed her hands from her eyes and stared long at the swaying golden light in the well water, and the two figures snuggled against each other.
Shan Man suddenly froze.
With tears streaming down her face, she raised her head, biting her trembling lips hard, afraid to make a sound, for fear of breaking this Illusion.
He who was once so far away, was now close at hand, standing right by her side.
Within the envelopment of Holy Light, He still appeared so pure, shaking one’s spirit, like a dream.
Separated by one hundred and twenty years.
Meeting again, as if for the first time.
…

(Thank you for your patience.)
