Humans are not plants, who can be without feelings.
Before Minshan's death, Nokron had not yet been resurrected, so he couldn't appear in person, only watching from afar in the shadows.
But now, he didn't mind seeing them off on their journey.
Looking at the tearful old man, he suddenly sighed:
"To , the heroes in the history of the cosmos are just waves in the sea of life, pawns in the era, transient."
"But in their eyes, the days I spent with them were nearly everything of their era, the enlightennt of their lives."
"At least, that's how it was for the subordinates of the Inspection Bureau back in the day."
He recalled the years when he transford into an enemy leader on the tree.
For both Minshan and Tang Xia, the life experience at the Inspection Bureau was imnsely important to them back then.
Li Qing finally walked on the Crystal Wall Origin Ancient Tree again.
The tree was sparsely populated and very peaceful.
Nowadays, almost no Ancient Gods reside on the tree.
For the Ancient Tree, how could it be humiliated?
Not everyone can stand above it.
The Origin Ancient Tree has now awakened its intellect; though its consciousness lasts only seconds, to stand on the tree requires its recognition.
Geb and Tang Xia can live on the tree because of their ancient existence.
The two were recognized due to their connection with the 2.8 billion Gods who created the Origin Ancient Tree, and their diligent work for the developnt of the age.
Only by obtaining the Origin Ancient Tree's recognition, can one beco the Supre Divine King of the Upper Realm, ruling the Origin Continent.
This is legitimacy!
"Nokron...?"
"You've actually been resurrected."
At this mont, the consciousness of this generation of the Crystal Wall Ancient Tree emitted a faint sense of surprise.
The opponent daring to ascend its tree was unexpected.
But soon, it disregarded it, as spending a lifeti on the tree to communicate for a few seconds was sothing only a fool would do.
Might as well descend to the Lower Realm!
Recently, it had taken over the spirit of the previous Ancient Tree and ran to the lower world to engage in a ruckus with the opposing Ancient Dragon.
Rustle.
The Ancient Tree glanced a few tis but paid no further attention.
Li Qing felt the Origin Ancient Tree, which didn't recognize him as one of its ancestors.
"Mansion Lord..." Geb's voice was sowhat hoarse as he gently looked ahead.
"It's ." Li Qing glanced at the surroundings, returning to a familiar branch of the Ancient Tree, where a familiar fishing pond was, suitable for fishing the worlds below.
Rustle.
Li Qing picked up a fishing rod, and the two old n next to him also grabbed fishing rods.
Plop!
A crisp splash sounded.
Endless slender fishing lines descended into the worlds below, traversing through, eventually landing in an ocean in a certain world, fishing the native fish there.
The branches and leaves above shook for a mont and then beca very quiet.
"Mansion Lord, after a thousand years, you've finally returned." Geb smiled, "Seeing this at the final endpoint is reassuring."
"You all have lived quite well."
Nokron said: "The two of you are from the Ancient Tis, existing in the prehistoric Planet Universe, much older than Nokron, Elis, Minshan born in the Crystal Wall Era, yet you've always been subordinates under our cycle of rule."
"Indeed, but we diocre ones lived the longest, which is a reward." Geb gazed at the continents of All Heavens below.
Tang Xia and Geb were disruptors Li Qing once tried to rally in a certain era, testing those two high supre organizations.
But things didn't always go as Li Qing wished.
The two of them were not talented; even Li Qing could not defeat those two organizations, let alone them?
So, although they achieved things in their lives, it wasn't much, always serving under the supre ones.
Every era has its rise and fall; not every pawn can ascend.
Especially against the White Shuttle and Dark Fan Divine Kings, if not for slowly weakening them, Li Qing could not have defeated them.
Even in the end, it was moral coercion that made them sacrifice for the great cause!
Let Dream Garnt inform them of their inevitable "fate," because if they truly wanted to escape, no one could capture ti and space.
"After my death, the era changed. How do you feel about this cosmic age now?" Nokron asked.
"It's quite fine, this era is rebuilding, and there is birth, aging, sickness, and death."
Geb was candid, "To be honest, living in this cosmic era, dying of old age is indeed terrifying. In recent years, as I aged continuously, my mindset crumbled a bit, but I later ca to terms with it. My ambition swelled, becoming an Emperor with the greatest power, wanting more strength in my later years, like immortality."
"Human ambition continues to swell."
"I quickly restrained my ambition, wished but dared not seek longevity, because as a Tyrant, with all the tyranny, it would ruin this recovering continent, greatly draining its national power, betraying the historical heroes and destroying the outcos you, Dream Garnt, and Minshan exchanged with death."
Geb's voice carried a faint sadness, "Later, I always wondered, maybe this too is destiny."
"Destiny?" Nokron asked.
"Yes, the arrangent of fate, also the arrangent of Dream Garnt." Geb said: "Everything is in the grasp of Dream Garnt, Minshan beca the Ferryman, and we as the transition for the cosmos' revival era."
"I, Geb, oversee the land, restoring the Origin Land, Tang Xia governs Artifact Refining, building houses and structures, aren't our capabilities just too convenient? We seem destined to repair the scars of the Dark Age."
Li Qing was silent for a while before saying: "It is quite convenient."
He silently uttered, "A sin."
The mysterious Dream Garnt's creation of the theory of fate influenced not only the Dark Fan and White Shuttle Divine King who died for fate.
Even Minshan believed in fate in her later years, and even the two before him chose to believe...
Believing that Dream Garnt had woven destiny, laying out for everyone the tiline leading to happiness, the most perfect future.
"Why don't you try to resist fate?" Nokron casually asked.
"Why resist? Even now resisting might be a destined ring, just like Senior Minshan, resisting fate her whole life, committed all sorts of evils, yet ultimately beca part of destiny. Her resistance, not accepting reality, led to a tragically lived life."
Tang Xia on the side laughed: "So we choose to accept fate, the two of us believe in the destiny Dream Garnt wove for us, not seeking longevity in our later years, letting the era transition slowly."
Li Qing: "..."
He suddenly didn't know what to say.
"And of course, if it truly was a cruel fate, we would resist it, but the current fate..." the eyes of this old Geb filled with gentle smiles, "is just like the life of Senior Dream Garnt..."
"It's not about not believing humans can conquer nature, but rather this is the fate we hope for, so we all choose to accept it."
As they spoke, there was no fear of death in their eyes, only strong determination.
It must be known that in history, many supre emperors struggled at all costs in their later years, yet perhaps this is the power of faith in front of us.
Firmly believing in destiny.
"Mansion Lord, your return is tily." Finally, Geb smiled, "We are about to pass on, always worried the era might beco chaotic after our departure, but if you beco the next Divine King, then we are at ease."
