When the final stroke fell.
The old man, already like a withered tree, sat by the sea wearing a thin cloth garnt, and slowly closed the notebook in his hands. He did not draw a period; the story continues and has not ended.
Even though, in the subsequent stories, his role would be that of an observer.
But...
Even as an observer, there is enough enjoynt and professional ethics to adhere to.
On the notebook cover, several characters were engraved in red lacquer.
"Autobiography of Liu Changqing."
In the lower right corner of the cover, there were a few small characters.
"First Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect."
He didn’t know when this autobiography would have an ending, when it could conclude with a period, or even if it would ever see the light of day, but none of that mattered anymore. Ti would witness it all.
After finishing all this.
The old man, like a decayed wood, finally lifted his head, using his cloudy eyes to gaze far at the horizon. Beside him, Old Man Cao was barbecuing on the beach with Xian Yi, the forr "King of Weiyang" who voluntarily entered the Land of Eternal Life to avoid the Unique King contest.
"How is it, my skills are getting better, aren’t they? I wonder if it’s because of the barbecue grill that kid left behind. I always feel that using this kid’s grill makes the at taste a bit better."
"Haha, no matter how tasty, eating it every day becos unbearable. Can’t you cook sothing else?"
"I can’t cook anything else. Besides, don’t you think eating barbecue in the sea breeze is quite romantic?"
"Don’t feel it."
The sea breeze suddenly changed direction, causing their previously clear conversation to beco gradually blurred.
There were clearly three people on the beach.
Yet these two never once glanced in the old man’s direction, as if they were unaware there was a third person on the beach.
The whole scene, bizarre yet harmonious.
...
Over a dozen years have passed, and the Da Xia Country has undergone many changes.
The most significant change was that the Endless Desert had been developed.
The Da Xia Country had resolved the flas beneath the Endless Desert, making it no longer barren and constantly hot, transforming it into an oasis, with many civilians moving to settle there.
Due to the cold of the Boundless Icefield, many civilians from the southern provinces chose to relocate with sorrow to lands north of Jing Province.
And the Da Xia Country dispatched people to start from Jing Province, dug a huge pit beneath the original underbelly of Da Xia, channeling the original sea of fire under the Endless Desert into the pit, as a asure to resist the extre cold advancing north. This was an extrely complex project.
But once completed, it provided all Da Xia citizens with a habitable environnt, and was hailed as the most valuable nationwide project since the founding of Da Xia.
Chen Qiu’s na was no longer ntioned as frequently as it once was.
After all, Chen Qiu had not returned for a long ti.
When so newborns heard about Chen Qiu’s stories, they would always curiously return ho and nestle in their parents’ arms, inquisitively asking if Chen Qiu was really that formidable, to which their parents would always smile helplessly.
Having not experienced that era, it’s truly difficult to have a specific understanding of Chen Qiu.
Since Chen Qiu’s departure.
Many Heavenly Prides erged, yet none possessed the dominating power that Chen Qiu had, pressuring all the Heavenly Prides of Da Xia Country to bow. Let alone compare with him, they didn’t even have the courage to et his gaze.
But sohow, those who have beco parents often reminisce about that charismatic era.
Back then...
The south was not yet an extre cold.
"Whew..."
Near "Fufeng City," in a small town close to the forr Endless Desert, "Yun City," an old man lay at the door of his courtyard, gazing at the stream of people passing by, touching his full stomach, lazily basking in the sun on his rocking chair.
He is the head of the Yuncheng Wang Family, who once did sothing for Chen Qiu.
And exchanged for quite a bit of wealth.
With this wealth, he basically did two things.
Purchased shops, houses, courtyards in Yun City, and hoarded a large amount of Evil Wood.
He could have moved to a larger city, but he preferred this native Yun City, which initially was an extrely remote small town, adjacent to the Endless Desert, a no-man’s-land where no one wanted to live.
But tis always change.
The Endless Desert was transford into an oasis, becoming the most comfortable zone in the Da Xia Country, with nurous people migrating from the south. The original Devil Clan also submitted to the Da Xia Country.
Thus, the once neglected "Yun City" suddenly turned extrely lively overnight, attracting many people, making his real estate multiply several tis over.
Inexplicably, his assets multiplied many tis.
He didn’t express much joy for this; instead, he felt a sense of emotion as he recalled how difficult it used to be to earn Spirit Stones when he needed them, and now that he no longer craved Spirit Stones, they poured into his pockets like unstoppable rivers.
Those Evil Woods were still piled in his yard.
He was waiting for the day, should he leave Da Xia Country, this would be a great fortune.
But he was aware of his abilities, he realized he couldn’t leave.
But...
