The land around them was pure wasteland and covered in a layer of dust It seees of tiuely see mountains and rivers that had once existed in that land and faintly hear the delighted laughter that once rang in the area However, in the next breath, be it the vague sights or the faint sounds, all of theht then see flaht not have been brought by death, however… Because it had been too long since any living soul had appeared in the place, gradually, an air of familiarity filled the world It became quiet, and the aura of death was born

”This is…” Su Ming averted his gaze from the area In his eyes were the reflection of all the wasteland after he swept his gaze across the world, bearing witness to the glory it had once enjoyed

”This is ed I… can't quite find the atht here I reht sky, and I can also remember its presence”

Hao Hao fell silent for a moment, as if he had become rather depressed, but soon, he lifted his head, and the faint but happy smile appeared returned to his lips He seemed to want to bury all the unhappiness he felt deep in his heart He was clearly telling himself that he had to be happy, he had to be satisfied, because that was his ho saw Hao Hao's s tears In silence, he noticed that the arht caused hiain, he found that his body had beco had fallen unconscious

”You…” Su Ming sighed softly He lifted his right hand and patted Hao Hao's head The boy looked at him happily with a very deep seated dependance in his eyes

But when he looked at the boy closely, he found no sign of tears

Days passed like that Half a ht Hao Hao to walk past the wasteland, the world filled with the aura of death They walked without a word, quietly

They went past abandoned cities that had no signs of life Even the first and the second princes had scattered after they entered It was hard to tell where they were

Hao Hao closed his eyes, and nostalgia surfaced in his voice ”I still re stood next to him He watched the sinkhole that was once a lake, the dust and cracks in it He accompanied Hao Hao and remembered the past with him A few days later, when they left, the sinkhole still remained in place

They walked past the wasteland, past the lands that were once mountains and rivers, and past beaches whose seas had already been reduced to deserts The end of both the sea and desert could not be seen, but while one of them resembled life, the other rese the sky and earth, and the other was the edge of sand They were stretched far and wide as before, but the landscape had already changed drastically

Hao Hao lowered his head He crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand As he stared at it, his voice echoed in the air ”Nine continents, nine butterfly spirits They once surrounded hed softly He could understand the anguish the boy felt at that ht hand, and continued doing so until Hao Hao stood up He hugged Su Ming while crying

”I am the spirit of the Tree of Dao Verification I… don't have tears, but I want to cry After co while, the boy lifted his head and looked at Su Ming

As he listened to that youthful voice, Su Ming's heart was touched again He looked at the boy, then crouched down and picked hiht,” Su Ming said while holding him and walked into the distance His voice echoed in the air and lingered for a long ti to disappear, as if it was a beautiful pro me to the center surrounded by the nine continents, please That place… is where I was born,” the young boy pleaded softly while burying his head into Su Ming's shoulder
