Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

It's quite interesting. I didn't expect that the first people to arrive at the central oasis would be this group of people who came to "repay their father's kindness."

Su Mu looked up at the sky for a long time without coming back to his senses.

"What are you looking at, sir?" Xuan Mo walked to his side holding the old goat in one hand and pulled Su Mu's sleeve and asked.

Su Mu then retracted her gaze and said with a smile, "I'm watching the changes in history."

Xuan Mo didn't understand.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's almost time, we should go back." Su Mu rubbed Rou Xuanmo's head.

"Okay!" Xuan Mo nodded.

The two men and the sheep disappeared on the street without anyone noticing, because the arrival of the strangers immediately became the focus of the market and soon spread throughout the entire central oasis. Some smart people had already made preparations. The central oasis was rich, and ironware, refined salt, spices, cloth, and fine wine were all preferred for trade.

The circulation of commerce will inevitably promote changes in the pattern.

If the connection with the outside world is opened up, the entire central oasis will take off in a short time. When friends come, there will be wine, and when enemies come, there will be swords.

Desert trade routes are about to be established. This is just the first caravan, and the second and third caravans are already on their way from all directions.

Relying on its fertile central location, connecting the north, south, east and west, just as mentioned before, this barren desert will take a real step towards change from zero to one, from tribe to country. The central oasis is only a microcosm of this desert country and the core of civilization of the country to be born. The course of history rolled forward at Su Mu's gentle push, from the birth of the central oasis, to the fateful repertoire of the priests that night, to the light shaking of the caravan's camel bells at this moment, to the sword clashes that may be encountered in the future, from nothing to something, from zero to one, great unification, the inevitability of history.

In Su Mu's eyes, history is manifesting at this moment, and humanity is spreading towards the desert.

"interesting."

…………

In the mirage, the mirage dragon had returned to its dragon form. It hovered above the jade platform, looking at Su Mu with horror in its eyes: "What have you done? Why has the breath of humanity descended upon this barren land..."

He didn't finish his words, but he had obviously realized it, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Mu changed from shock to disbelief.

"I didn't do anything, and this wasn't even my intention. It's interesting, isn't it? The shock of humanity is inevitable in history. After all, this isn't the era you live in, and this era is dominated by humans."

The mirage dragon remained silent for a long time before bursting into laughter: "Hehehe, interesting, really interesting. You really underestimated humans. No wonder you called us old relics. It seems that the times have not stopped for us self-righteous old relics, but are accelerating forward, so fast that I feel disoriented. It seems that it is really necessary to go out and take a look."

"It's not that serious, and not everyone in this world is called Su Mu." Su Mu sat on the jade platform, poured herself a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Why didn't I see that you were so arrogant?" Shenlong sneered, but he agreed with these words in his heart. In the tens of thousands of years he had lived, there was basically no one as magical as Su Mu.

"You say one thing and mean another." Su Mu shook her head.

"Hmph~ I won't argue with you." The mirage dragon snorted coldly, and its dragon body transformed into a human form. It came to the opposite side of Su Mu, and a white jade cup appeared in its hand. It poured a cup of spiritual tea for itself.

"By the way, why do you like white jade so much?" Su Mu actually wanted to ask this for a long time.

"It's just a personal hobby." Shenlong took a sip of tea.

Su Mu nodded. This was just like how many people liked to taste tea, but Su Mu couldn't do it. Compared to tea, he preferred wine. Liking such things was entirely subjective.

"When do you plan to leave?" Shenlong got back to the point.

"Soon, the work here is basically done. I came here to dump the excess water energy and help Xuan Mo become a dragon."

“Xuanmo might stay here a little longer. He needs to accommodate the water veins. I will take the Cave Heaven in the Painting with me so that Xuanmo can catch up with us directly.”

"As for the Mirage, I will not take it with me. I will leave it here. Whoever of my disciples finds it first will own it."

"You are quite generous. You always give my things away."

"Tch, what do you mean by 'your things'? Crescent Lake and the Azure Sea veins were built by me. Crescent Lake has the Lotus Pond and Mirage Pearl, while the Azure Sea veins belong to Xuanmo. What does your White Jade Pavilion have? Don't you have anything left behind? Apart from some useless white jade, it's hardly befitting your status as an innate deity."

"I can see that you care about your disciples, but your method of provoking them is too perfunctory. Besides, they are your disciples, what does it have to do with me?" Shenlong looked at him with an expression that said, "You take me for a fool."

Su Mu shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway, you will be embarrassed if you tell others about it."

The mirage dragon nearly spat out its tea, then slammed its hand on the jade platform and said, "How could you, a mere immortal, possibly understand the greatness of the primordial deities? You don't think this jade platform is just for drinking tea, do you?"

As the mirage dragon pressed down, the jade platform began to shake violently. Not only the jade platform, but the entire pavilion began to shake. The projections of stars instantly covered the dome, and starlight and moonlight poured down like a waterfall. The mist surrounding the white jade palace began to dissipate, revealing the blue phoenix relief on it.

These blue phoenixes held thirty-six glazed palace lanterns, which were lit one after another in the air.

At this moment, the mirage dragon stood up and flew into the air, and Su Mu did the same, because the moonlight had already covered the jade platform.

Su Mu looked at all this and said, "It's all so fancy."

But the mirage dragon smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, the jade platform appeared with colorful brilliance under the reflection of starlight and moonlight, and then unfolded like a lotus. Several curled buds in the middle gradually stretched out, and the breath of immortality exploded from the space.

Look at those tender sprouts.

"This is..." Su Mu's face showed a look of genuine surprise. He didn't expect to encounter such a legendary thing here, hidden under his butt.

Seeing Su Mu's surprised expression, the Mirage Dragon smiled with satisfaction, "Let me show you, little immortal, what the true power of a primordial deity is."

"Do you know who this white jade pavilion of mine is modeled after?"

"Yaochi." If you didn't know it before, you could guess it when you saw those tender sprouts.

"That's right, this white jade pavilion was built in imitation of the Tianque Yaochi, and those tender shoots are the elixir of immortality."

"Are you really willing to do that?" Su Mu looked at Shenlong, his eyes full of surprise.

"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? Besides, this thing is just useless to you and me. It's just like the old days. Those who have it don't need it, and those who need it don't have it."
