Long River Eternity

After Nuwa left, Zhurong rushed to the place where Gonggong was buried under the rubble. He wanted to dig out Gonggong, but his hand stopped halfway. He hesitated for a long time and finally took out the Zhurong Halberd and cut off a huge stone tablet from the remaining Buzhou Mountain. Then he engraved "Tomb of My Son Gonggong" on it and inserted it on the pile of rubble.

Zhu Rong stood before the tombstone and said gently, "Son, since you have chosen this place, I will bury you here, so that you and Buzhou Mountain can be together. The story of you and Buzhou Mountain will be passed down forever. In the future, whenever someone mentions this mountain, they will remember your name. Is that okay?"

Afterwards, Zhu Rong sat in front of Gong Gong's tomb for a long time. Yang An and others stood not far away, watching Zhu Rong. On the one hand, they were worried about the old man who had lost his son, and on the other hand, they wanted to spend more time with the self-sacrificing Gong Gong.

Finally, Zhu Rong stood up, his eyes full of loneliness, turned to Yang An and others and said: "My friends, see you later."

Then it rushed into the sky, turned into a flame, and disappeared into the horizon.

The four of them looked at the disappearing Zhurong, then looked at Gonggong's tombstone, and sighed in unison.

Ye Tingxue asked with a hint of sadness, "Do you think this is really the original truth of the legend?"

Yang An still looked at Gong Gong's tombstone and said, "The original legend is no longer important. Now that we are here, what we see is the truth."

"If we hadn't come to Beiming, would everything be different?" Yang Nian asked.

"Even if we didn't come, Gonggong would still clash with Zhurong and would still be poisoned and go crazy. Maybe if we weren't here, things would get even worse. Zhurong might die at the hands of the Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and Gonggong. There would be no Gonggong crashing into Mount Buzhou. Maybe we would have become part of the legend." Yang An said.

After hearing Yang An's words, Ye Tingxue and Yang Nian fell into deep thought.

At this time, Shi Gang interrupted the three people and said, "Don't think about such a deep question for now. Think about how to get back first. You can't fly back, right?"

"Uh..." Yang An and the other two had never thought about this realistic problem.

When they came, Fuxi took them from the Central Plains Dao Court to the Beiming Tianshui City in the blink of an eye. But if they wanted to fly back by themselves, it would take more than two months to fly non-stop. It had only been more than a month since they came here. Who could bear this?

Just as the four of them were thinking, Yang An suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "I've thought of a way."

Shi Gang and the other two turned to look at Yang An, who put his hand to his mouth like a trumpet and shouted to the sky: "Master! We are done with our training, come and pick us up!!!"

Yang An and his companions did not have any protectors in Beiming, but their real protector was Fuxi of Daoting. Yang An was sure that Fuxi was paying attention to their every move. Once they really encountered an unsolvable problem, such as Donghuang Taiyi suddenly appearing to kill them, Fuxi would definitely appear to protect them at the first time.

As expected by Yang An, the moment he finished shouting, a figure covered in mist appeared in front of the four people.

Fuxi asked, "How do you know I'm watching you?"

"Guessed." Yang An said with a smile.

At this time, Ye Tingxue asked with a hint of anger: "Since you have been paying attention to the situation here, why didn't you save Gong Gong?"

"I asked you to come here because I couldn't intervene in this matter directly, and in the future that I observed, Gonggong was poisoned and went mad, and joined forces with Xuanwu and Suzaku to kill Zhurong. Zhurong's death allowed Gonggong to temporarily regain consciousness, and finally he crashed into Buzhou Mountain with regret and died to atone for his sins. But from the moment you arrived in Tianshui City, the future that I observed about Gonggong and Zhurong became a fog, and I had no idea how things would happen. You are the wind that made it impossible for me to know where the leaves would fall. But in the end, at least you let Zhurong survive." Fuxi said.

"Then the fog that will sweep across the entire future is also caused by us?" Yang An asked in surprise.

"Maybe. At least I am sure now that with you here, there is really hope to change the outcome of the future catastrophe." Fuxi said.

"Has Han Dong completed his training?" Yang An did not ask any more questions, but instead asked about the news of the other group.

"Not yet, but it should be soon. We have entered the final stage now." Fuxi said.

"Then let's go back and wait for them." Shi Gang said.

"No rush. I heard that Nuwa went to look for the five-colored stones to mend the sky? I finally got out, but no one cares about me. Take me to Tianshui City for a walk." As Fuxi spoke, the thick fog around him dissipated, revealing his true appearance as a teenager. Then Fuxi waved his hand, and the feathered clothes on his body turned into an ordinary robe.

"This... isn't appropriate." Yang An looked at Fuxi at this moment and felt a little regretful for calling him over.

"If Goddess Nuwa knew that we took you out to play, she would skin us alive, right?" Shi Gang said.

"She went to look for the five-colored stones to mend the sky. She won't know. We'll go back before dark. It's okay." Fuxi said, hurriedly preparing to go to Tianshui City.

The crowd couldn't persuade Fuxi, so they had to take him to Tianshui City for shopping.

Fuxi arrived in Tianshui City, his eyes instantly lighting up. He ran everywhere, wanting to try every street food, every fun game, and every shop. The dignified Dao Court Master was now like a country boy who had never seen the world, wandering around everywhere.

Happy times are always so short, and soon it was dusk. Fuxi, Yang An and three others were walking out of a restaurant. Fuxi patted his bulging belly with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Fuxi smiled and said, "Oh, I'm full. Let's see if Han Dong is done."

Fuxi closed his eyes, then opened them again, revealing the patterns of Yin and Yang and the Eight Diagrams. Fuxi, who had been smiling broadly, suddenly turned serious and said, "Oh no! Something's happened. I'll take you back first."

Everyone put their hands on Fuxi, and then their eyes blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, a figure covered in mist appeared before him. Lin Ding looked around. With the experience from last time, Lin Ding recovered quickly this time and realized that he had left Yang An's memory and returned to reality.

This made Lin Ding grumble: "I said, can you please not pull me back every time at a critical moment? What happened later?"

"Han Dong is missing, and the remaining three are seriously injured and unconscious." Yang An said lightly.

"How could this happen?" Lin Ding asked in surprise.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. You can go and see for yourself later." Yang An said.

"What have you been through over the years? Why do you seem to have changed a lot?" Lin Ding looked at the Yang An in front of him. Comparing him with the Yang An in his memory, they felt like two completely different people.

In my memory, Yang An was warm-hearted, kind-hearted and polite, but the Yang An in front of me always gave people a cold feeling that kept people at a distance.

"After living for more than 200 million years, isn't it normal for some changes to occur?" Yang An asked in return.

Lin Ding was speechless after hearing what Yang An said. Yes, some people seemed like a different person after just a few years of not seeing each other, let alone 200 million years.

Seeing that Lin Ding didn't say anything, Yang An continued: "Have you calmed down now? Are you still thinking about saving your parents now?"

"I will still go to save my parents, but I will first integrate the cultivation experience of your breakthrough to the Heyuan realm and become stronger before going." Lin Ding said firmly.
