Dorothy’s runaway thoughts didn’t last for long; she was interrupted by a sobbing sound.
And when she looked up and saw the source of the suppressed crying, the hobody witch fell silent again.
Hmm, this ti it was Elena crying.
Oh my, a Sage crying, that’s truly a rare sight.
And it was obviously due to the effect of the second "Heart-Cleansing Whip" from her Ancestral Elder, truly a case of enlightennt. If you didn’t realize it the first ti, you’d get another try.
Clearly, this Sage Nun had previously put on an air of defiance, but now she cried like a child thousands of years old, with truly beautiful azure blue eyes full of regret and sorrow for what she’d previously done.
Hiss, sister, this tail whip of yours really is a bit wicked, isn’t it?
Even though Dorothy now fully understood the principle behind this trick, she still felt a chill at the drastic change that occurred in such a short ti.
Hmm, this eerie déjà vu always reminded her of a character from a novel she read in her past life who liked single-lens glasses.
Then she thought of the more popular rebirth stories in those novels.
If rebirth stories are about the future you taking over the present you, then are Yénɡədə’s thods considered the past you taking over the present you?
The hobody witch carefully observed the tearful Sage Nun in front of her and indeed found a youthful spirit in those suddenly clear, watery blue eyes.
Turtle, sister, how many years did you rewind Elena the Sage to?
Dorothy couldn’t help but snark in her heart.
But after all, this was normal.
The younger you are, the more malleable, and thus more accepting of new ideas. This can be seen from Sophia’s Revelation Battle Group, which consists mostly of young Angel Witches.
Conversely, the older you get, the more conservative your thoughts beco. Without the drive and passion of youth, human nature becos lazy and reluctant to stir things up anymore, preferring to stay in the comfort zone—this is also evident in the God King Sect’s conservative faction, mostly ancient old witches.
That’s why people say the world belongs to the young, the future belongs to the young, right?
Thousands-of-years-old Elena had her thoughts solidified by fanatic faith, unable to accept a new phase of the God King Faith, viewing it as heresy.
But since Elena could beco a Sage, it surely couldn’t be that her thinking was truly rigid, or she wouldn’t have achieved the rank of Sage.
In her youth, she must have been an enterprising, ambitious Genius Witch, only to eventually succumb to wear and tear brought on by fanatic faith.
And now, Master Ye’s divine healing hands have rejuvenated the once-genius Angel Witch Elena.
Dorothy couldn’t help but marvel again at her Ancestral Elder sister’s craftsmanship.
The current Elena has consciousness and thoughts reverted to her girlhood—this is change. Yet her strength and mory are all retained—this is what remains unchanged.
To retain the unchanged amidst change, to achieve change on the foundation of what remains unchanged, this is the so-called art of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
Marvelous, truly marvelous.
Thus, the reborn Sage Nun doesn’t need to go through the preset process of reabsorbing and digesting mories like a transmigrator; she feels more a sense of awakening to her true self just today.
Flowers have their day of blooming again, and people can beco young once more.
Evidently, girlhood Elena didn’t suffer the severe wear and tear like her thousands-of-years-old self, so the Sage’s wisdom reclaid the high ground once the suppression and sealing from her fanatic faith were gone.
She rely pondered and recalled in her mind quickly, and instantly realized which between the old God King Religion and the new God King’s Church is truly capable of saving the currently declining Angel Witch Clan.
Indeed, just as Lord Holy Child said just now, there is no longer a ship in today’s new era that can carry the remnants of the old world like the God King Religion.
The tis are constantly moving forward and shouldn’t remain stagnant. The God King Religion undeniably played a crucial role in witch history, but that Chapter is over, and now we, the old guard, have beco obstacles to the progress of the young.
The brave who once slayed dragons has beco the new evil dragon, baring its teeth and intimidating the new brave ones.
To Elena "awakened", this is indeed a bit of a tragic sight.
Just monts ago, she was one of the sharpest teeth in that snarling dragon’s mouth, but now, having her mories as a brave restored, she only wants this out-of-control dragon to leave with dignity.
Yes, let be the dragon tooth that turns into a blade to pierce the dragon heart. No matter what, the brave should not greet their end with the dragon’s ugly form.
This is what Elena thought to herself.
So she did just that.
"Lady Yengade, thank you for enlightening to awaken in ti. Lord Holy Child, please also allow to offer you my sincerest apologies. Before, I was driven mad by faith and pride."
The Sage Nun stopped crying, wiped her tears, first thanked the little dragon and snake on the hobody witch’s neck, then turned to Sophia, sincerely apologizing.
