Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Thousand Years of Solitude
"If there's anything in this world that can wipe everything out, it's time."
"A year, a decade, a hundred years, the time of an ordinary person's life passes."
"She is no longer the simple, martial arts girl, but the mother of the earth who takes care of countless tribes, she has learned a lot, and she has carried a lot, the only thing that remains unchanged is that she has always believed that she can wait until the day she meets you, she has even imagined countless times, when she meets you, what kind of scene will it be, what will you say, what will you say."
"Then, one day, she suddenly noticed that in her memories, your face began to blur."
"Those memories are like reefs washed by the waves, although they are extremely hard, but they are eventually worn away by time." "She has been through so many things, so many years, even so long that her memory is blurred, but when she looks at the countdown again, she finds that there are still 5,000 years left."
That's when she realized what a long span of 5,000 years was.
"The life of a mortal is in this span, even worse than a mayfly, the world will change, countless people are born, countless people die, countless stories happen, love and hatred, life and death, and she, will witness all this, crossing an unimaginable long time alone, just to wait for someone to come."
"She began to realize that it was going to be a lonely journey that was almost devastating."
"She didn't want to give up, so she began to think about it over and over again, to engrave your face, and your memories into the depths of her soul, and she would never be able to accept that the day you came, she had forgotten everything about you."
"And so, a thousand years have passed."
She saw that human beings were no longer like wild beasts, they had established their own kingdom, developed civilization, the world was becoming more and more prosperous, human beings no longer needed the help of a god named Nuwa, they became the masters of the world, they were fighting, they were infighting, they were eroding everything in this world, and the best of them even called themselves immortals.
"And she is still alone, like a reef entrenched on the seaside, trying to resist the erosion of time, the vicissitudes of the sea." "She's tired."
"She doesn't see the end of five thousand years.
"She also realized that even if that day really came, she would never be Wang Yuyan, but a god named Nuwa, and she would never be able to find the simple and pure emotions she had for you thousands of years ago."
"And what you want to see, what you want to see, is Wang Yuyan, the Wang Yuyan who is less than twenty years old and has eyes full of you."
"In the long river of 5,000 years, she is like a drowning person struggling, she will eventually sink, so she decided to leave you a gift before she sinks, at least, when that day comes, what you will see will be the Wang Yuyan you want to see.
"In that agreement, Nuwa, it doesn't mean anything to you."
"She created a human being, engraved her own appearance in it, and she informed the world that whether it is a mortal or an immortal, Nuwa's descendants must be passed down from generation to generation, until four thousand years later, Nuwa's descendants will re-grow into her appearance, meet you at the best age, she will come here with that prophecy, and the key to the secret realm, inherit Wang Yuyan's memory, and become Wang Yuyan.
"Fulfill the promise with you."
Nuwa finally finished telling the story about Wang Yuyan, she looked at Wu Xingzhi and said: "Whether it is this space or my mission, it is to wait for your arrival and reunite you with Wang Yuyan, you don't need to know this, but if I don't say it, you won't stop."
Wu Xingzhi opened his mouth, the air flow crossed his vocal cords, but he couldn't make any sound, he tried repeatedly, and finally spit out
One word: "What about Nuwa?"
"I'm just a wisp of her divine thoughts, although I am also Nuwa, but I am only a Nuwa four thousand years ago, frozen here in the dust, so I can still remember your appearance."
"As for the next four thousand years, I have no way of knowing, but this secret realm has never been opened, and she has never been here, I think about it, after she has done all this, she can finally be liberated, completely bid farewell to Wang Yuyan's identity, and completely end the agreement that made her miserable and lonely for thousands of years."
Nuwa said lightly: "I know what you are thinking, you are a persistent person, and you will never give up if your heart is not transparent, but I need to repeat it again, the soul of Wang Yuyan you said no longer exists."
"She is Nuwa, the mother of the earth, a god who existed when the heavens and the earth first opened, and she and you-_"
Nuwa paused, and finally spoke.
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Yiyan closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
It doesn't matter.
His heart is full of unwillingness and powerlessness, but what position does he have to continue to insist on and entangle?
Even he himself was not sure that he would be able to go through those 5,000 years of waiting.
He remembered the girl named Chen Qiao'er who was buried under the locust tree in Chang'an before, and he was still surprised at that time that there were still resentful ghosts in this world that were so pure and so huge.
After waiting for five years because of an agreement, in the end he found that the person who agreed had already changed, he lost the purity and beauty of the original agreement, and after experiencing the polishing of the red dust in the world, he became another person, and love also disappeared in the washing of time.
Five years and so on, fifty years, five hundred years, five thousand years.
It's too long, so long that even if Wu Xingzhi just imagines it, his heart feels like it's being torn apart.
When the girl waited for a thousand years, and finally realized that even if we could see each other again, she would be unrecognizable, and she decided to give up and save the best of her.
Then, spanning four thousand years, it was handed over to his own hands.
This heart is too heavy, so heavy that even if you have a hesitant personality like Wu Xingzhi, you can't bear it.
Nuwa was right before, it was really a lucky thing to know nothing, but behind this luck was a thousand years of loneliness that a girl silently endured.
"Take Wang Yuyan and leave." Nuwa opened her mouth to break the silence, "Don't let her down. ”
Wei Yiyan didn't know who the other party was referring to by "she", but he knew that everything has cause and effect, and some things, no matter how light they are, even if they are so light that with his current ability, he can't bear them at all, and he must bear them.
"I won't let her down."
Finally, Wu Xingzhi opened his eyes, looked back at Wang Yuyan, and stretched out his hand to stick to the other party's fair side face: "Long time no see, Yu Yan."
"I said I would deliver on my promise."
"Thank you for waiting for me.
Wang Yuyan has been standing aside, listening to those stories about another Wang Yuyan, tears have already soaked her eyes, hearing Wu Xingzhi say this, she suddenly couldn't hold it back, and threw herself into Wu Xingzhi's arms.
Wu Xingzhi hugged her, her body was soft and warm, no different from when she parted.
Nuwa silently stared at the two embracing each other, her face shrouded in light and unambiguous, until the two separated, she said, "Bless you, so far, my mission has been completed."
"Goodbye, Wu Xingzhi."
