Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

Sarsot, like many other civilized galaxies, originally revolved around shining stars while rotating on its own, alternating day and night.

But one day, some meteorites from outer space began to bombard the surface of Sarsot at a specific angle. Sarsot's rotation speed became slower and slower, the days became longer and longer, and the nights became longer and longer.

Until Sarsot stopped rotating completely, a clear morning and evening line formed on the planet.

Due to the impact of the Sarsot's cessation of rotation, most of the civilizations living on this planet disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only two mobile cities to survive.

They are distributed on both sides of Sarsotu, and rely on mysterious energy to drive the moving castles to chase the terminator at all times, making the days and nights no longer long.

Although people living in these two mobile cities will never see each other in their lifetime, the optimistic people of Sarsoto will still maintain an optimistic attitude and live every ordinary day. The two cities also communicate through the "Dandelion" mailbox.

until……

One day, both cities stopped moving. They pressed together with their guns pointed at each other. It was obvious that one city had crossed half the planet to the other side to start a war.

However, no matter what the process is, the result is that Sarsotu has completely fallen silent. Maybe it will be cured one day, or maybe it will never be.

Few people know that this place was once the hometown of an extinct lord.

Few people know that Ling Feng, the Lord of Extinction, was born with a disability. His right foot was abnormally small, which was equivalent to him being missing a foot since birth.

The reason is that his parents are in a brother-sister relationship, and it was probably a genetic defect that caused Ling Feng to suffer this disaster.

When he was three years old, his mother died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind only his sister, Ling Yue. Since then, his father was devastated and became an alcoholic for many years. In the end, he could no longer bear the sarcasm of the people around him and committed suicide when Ling Feng was seven years old.

Since then, 7-year-old Ling Feng and 4-year-old Ling Yue have depended on each other.

In order to survive, he worked all year round despite his disability. However, when he was ten years old, he accidentally rolled down a mountain due to his difficulty in walking and was disfigured.

The face is the window to the soul. If a handsome man is disabled, he might be pitied and thought to be unfair by others. However, if an extremely ugly person is disabled, he will be hated by everyone.

People are very realistic.

It’s not about right or wrong.

Perhaps there were people who would sympathize with Ling Feng before. After all, his parents abandoned him, leaving him with a lot of illnesses and still asking him to support the entire family. But now, people avoid this ugly guy.

The previous sarcasm and ridicule became more frequent. After all, his parents were in a forbidden relationship, which was simply against human ethics.

Because of his disabled legs, he couldn't do some rough work, and because of his ugly face, he couldn't do reception work.

I encounter obstacles everywhere and it is difficult to make a living.

But Ling Feng remained optimistic at this time. Perhaps it was the innate gene of the Sarsot people. After all, the pessimistic people probably died when Sarsot stopped.

Survival of the fittest, this law applies everywhere.

Ling Feng put on a simple mask to cover his extremely ugly face, and skillfully used a cane to shuttle through the streets looking for work. Washing dishes, delivering medicine, selling newspapers... It's all right, as long as you can do it, it's all right.

But often at the end of the day, I could only barely avoid starvation.

Lingyue also has a congenital defect, she is blind, and the two siblings, one disabled and the other blind, seem to be fate. The only good thing is that Lingyue was sensible at an early age. When other little girls were still playing freely, she had already taken on housework.

But because she is blind, she often needs to put in a hundred times more effort to do things that others can do easily.

The two of them are like rusty gears, barely pushing their destiny forward slowly. Optimism is their appetite for progress, and making a living is their only motivation.

But even so, a bird with broken wings will not stop falling because of optimism.

Ling Yue fell ill. She was born with a weak immune system. After a day of hard work, she collapsed on the bed and could not get up again. Her collapse directly broke a crack in the life that was barely maintained.

She needs medicine, she needs a doctor...

And this is an extremely rare resource in Sarsotu.

The burden of life made Ling Feng begin to feel suffocated.

He often only slept three hours a day and then would run around again, trying to find a doctor who could cure his sister's illness and to raise the astronomical cost of treatment.

His disability also worsened because of his running.

Every time he took a step, he could feel the excruciating pain coming from his footsteps. The pain made him start to think about the meaning of his efforts to live.

A day's hard work yielded no results.

Ling Feng returned to the dilapidated house in a daze. This was the only thing his parents left him. Oh, and he was also left with lesions all over his body.

Ling Feng sometimes couldn't help but resent his parents.

But often after resentment comes endless pain. He tried hard to avoid such emotions and deceived himself again and again with optimism.

Ling Yue's condition worsens day by day.

Maybe, their birth was a mistake.

It must be fate that corrects this mistake.

"Is it my brother? Ahem..." Ling Yue couldn't see anything, but after spending so much time with Ling Feng, she could tell by just the sound of his footsteps. Moreover, the only person who would come to this house was Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was rubbing his feet in pain at this time.

His joints seemed to be dislocated, and he felt that if this continued, he would not be able to move at all.

Hearing his sister's voice, he endured the severe pain from his footsteps and responded as cheerfully as possible: "I'm back. I made a little more money today. I..."

He is lying.

When medicine can't heal the pain.

The only way to numb the problem is to use lies.

"Brother, I've known this since I was a child. Actually... you've been lying to me a lot of the time, right? Ahem..." Ling Yue interrupted him, "Optimism can never defeat reality."

"Since it hasn't happened yet, it's worth changing, right?" This is the belief that has supported Ling Feng to live until now.

He didn't want to be an irresponsible person like his father. If he died, his sister would definitely die.

"That's right... Unfortunately, in this maze of fate, it seems that there is never a right option. Brother, I feel so bad, maybe... I really have to go first." This was the first and last time Ling Yue mentioned her illness to Ling Feng.

She used to be optimistic by nature, and her life to this day is a testimony to her persistence.

But in the end, I was devastated by the disease and could no longer bear it. Optimism can only paralyze me, and in the end, I can only bow my head to the disease.

The obsession that has kept her alive until now is probably because she is afraid that Ling Feng would not be able to bear her death.

"Yue, don't..." Ling Feng had already expected the ending, but still didn't want to accept it.

"Everyone will die, ahem... sometimes it's not a fault to be a little sloppy. We have never been wrong, have we? The only thing wrong is our fate." Ling Yue looked at Ling Feng dimly, as if she wanted to see the image of her biological brother who had been taking care of her for a long time, but it was in vain.

There was darkness in front of him.

It’s like a life whose end can be seen at a glance.

"Brother, can you promise me one thing? Don't commit suicide because of me. This is my last wish." Ling Yue said weakly.

Ling Feng was stunned, but looking at his sister's lifeless eyes, he nodded as if possessed: "Okay..." Tears had already filled his eyes.

"Thank you...brother..." She closed her eyes.

forever.

It seemed as if he was thanking Ling Feng for his final accomplishment, or perhaps, he was also thanking Ling Feng for his previous efforts.

"Don't leave me... don't leave me... Lingyue... sister..."

That night, Ling Yue's heart stopped beating forever.

Just like hundreds of years ago, the Sarsotu stopped rotating forever.
