Raiden's voice was exceptionally gentle, and his words carried a sense of guilt.
[Raiden Shin: "I've always felt guilty that I suddenly entrusted Inatsume to you."]
"These principles should have been taught to you gradually, so that you would no longer be attached to 'no-thought'."
That's how it should have been...if the catastrophe in Kanria hadn't happened.
Raiden is still so gentle. She doesn't know how much time has passed, nor does she know what Inazuma has gone through.
But she knew that her younger sister must have suffered a lot and shed many tears on this 'eternal' path.
Seeing that Lei Dian was truly suffering and shedding tears, Ying whispered a rebuttal.
"...Don't underestimate me."
A little bit of arrogance is actually tantamount to admitting it.
[Raiden Shin: "See, you admit it."]
The sound came from the ball of lightning. Although you couldn't see the lightning's real face, you could almost see her smile.
In real life, Lei Yingdian already had tears welling up in her eyes when she saw her sister appear.
Seeing this now, I couldn't hold back anymore, and in the blink of an eye, tears streamed down my face.
Sometimes I can hold back when I feel wronged, but I can't help but feel comforted when someone tries to comfort me.
Yingbao glanced at Lin Qiu. "You've cried about this so many times, and you're just writing about it so sweetly for the whole world to see?"
However, Ying wasn't angry, because seeing her sister made her so happy that she couldn't stay angry.
Raiden Shin continued, "I considered this possibility, which is why I specially left you a gift to alleviate Inazuma's suffering."
"Come, accept it before my last breath fades away."
"However, the most important step still needs to be done by you personally..."
Turning the page again reveals Abedo's superb drawing skills.
The purple ball of light fell into Ying's hand and turned into a seed.
[True: "The miraculous tree that shelters all people remains, at this moment, a strange and unseen entity."]
"When it lands and where it sprouts depends on the heart and dreams of the person who brings it into being."
The scene focuses on the Divine Cherry Tree, and readers become aware of a bold possibility.
Could these seeds be from the Divine Cherry Tree? Planting seeds of the past in the future?
[True: "Give it life, Shadow."]
Although Ying was slow-witted, she wasn't stupid; she had already realized what the seed was from Zhen's words.
"It depends on the heart and dreams of the person who brings it into existence," Ying thought to herself as she slowly planted the seed underground.
The moment I needed it most, without a doubt, was in Inazuma hundreds of years ago. Before I returned, it turned out that my sister was protecting Inazuma for me...
I thought I was the protector, the one who would save my sister.
It turns out... I was the one who was always being protected, and I was also the one who was saved in the end.
The seeds fall like water droplets falling into the ocean, creating ripples.
The seeds began to sprout and grew rapidly.
Truth: "Eternity stretches time infinitely, and dreams make every moment shine."
The fox ran over and surrounded the cherry tree, guarding it.
"The divine cherry blossoms will eventually break free from the constraints of fate and bloom from the darkness."
The semi-transparent Narukami Shrine appears in the image, seemingly being built up little by little.
"With this, the nightmare has vanished, reality has been perfected, and the future we both longed for still lies ahead."
At this time, the divine cherry tree did not yet resemble a fox, but was an ordinary, beautiful cherry tree.
The Narukami Shrine in the scene has disappeared, leaving only a cherry tree.
Ying looked up at the cherry tree, just like she had done with her sister hundreds of years ago.
[Shin: "It's a pity I can't witness Inazuma's future, nor can I walk with you any longer."]
"You know what? Shadow, I'm so happy right now, because my last wish has come true."
"Your naginata has saved me from countless calamities, and I've always felt indebted to you."
Upon seeing this sentence, both the real-life figure and the figure in the illustration unconsciously shook their heads.
How could you possibly owe me anything? I'm your sister, isn't that enough?
The one who truly owes something is me.
I tried to protect my wife, to protect you, but in reality, I failed to protect anything. In the end, I was only protecting my own feelings.
I 'protected' Inazuma according to my own ideas, which led me down the wrong path and caused my people to suffer unwarranted pain. It's all my fault for being 'selfish'.
However, Raiden didn't think that way; she firmly believed that her sister would wake up.
In my opinion, the disaster that Inazuma experienced was not the fault of the shadows; it was my fault, that I failed to fulfill my duty as a god.
Even at the very end, you still have to shoulder this responsibility, my sister. I owe you something.
"Though it's a small token of gratitude, this divine cherry tree will buy you time before you truly awaken and encounter new things."
"How's it going? It should be working by now, right?"
The camera focused on Ying's trembling hand. Her hand trembled slightly, as if she sensed something and wanted to raise her hand to stop her, but she didn't.
Yes, she has grown up and can't let her sister worry in her final moments.
"This time, it's truly goodbye—Shadow."
Lightning transformed into cherry blossoms, passing by the shadow. The cherry blossoms dancing in the air seemed to become a galaxy, traversing the river of time and transforming into 'eternity'.
Ying's eyes widened, and she unconsciously opened her mouth to take a breath, wanting to speak, but stopped herself.
She raised her hand to catch the cherry blossoms, but they just slipped away from her grasp.
[Shadow tilts her head back and closes her eyes: "Goodbye—True."]
The illustration is finished. This time, Raiden Movie and Raiden Shin are not saying goodbye, but saying goodbye forever.
Is this a good ending? Probably, at least the two sisters had a parting at the end, but readers are left with a sense of regret.
Knowing the mystery of the Divine Cherry Tree, why can't I feel happy?
The readers don't know, and neither does Lei Films itself.
She had always been curious about why the Divine Cherry Tree existed and why other people's memories were so strange.
Now that she knows the reason, there is no joy in uncovering the truth; only tears in the corners of her eyes tell of her current emotions.
Fox Palace took out a small handkerchief and wiped Yingbao's tears.
This familiar scene reminded Ying of Lin Qiu, who hadn't wiped away her tears, so she took the handkerchief and wiped them herself.
The others had also lost their sense of humor and were simply reading the rest of the story in silence.
In the story, Ray the Movie and the Traveler left the real consciousness space, and General Raiden's body was also conditioned... conditioned, and became honest.
Together with Yae no Miko outside the consciousness space, the group returned to the shrine. On the way, Paimon told Miko what had happened inside the consciousness space.
Chapter 313, the large-scale documentary "Thunder and Lightning Mother and Daughter," is complete.
After listening, the divine child analyzed and summarized:
"The current Shadow personally planted the Divine Cherry Tree in the space of consciousness, and it sprouted from the past Inazuma..."
"No matter how you look at it, it's unbelievable."
The power of eternity (time), isn't it amazing?
[Shadow: "This is all thanks to the power of truth; her understanding of eternity is deeper than mine."]
"Eternity is a concept intimately connected with time; once eternity is touched upon, the concept of time becomes blurred."
Ying's words were somewhat heartfelt. In the past, she focused on honing her martial arts skills, but her thoughts on 'eternity' were not entirely satisfactory.
However, after experiencing this event and planting the Divine Cherry Tree with her own hands, her understanding of 'eternity' gradually became clearer, while 'time' became blurred.
However, Ying has only just touched upon eternity and cannot fully comprehend all of this yet.
She hasn't reached the point of thinking, "That's great, I feel like I understand everything."
Yae no Kamiko and Kage continued their analysis: In the true space of consciousness, time is both moving forward and moving backward.
The 'turbulent flow' mentioned by Yae no Miko refers to these disordered spaces and times.
After the shadow planted the Divine Cherry Tree, the 'turbulence' stabilized.
The ability to achieve such an effect may not be solely due to Raiden's power; there may also be "a higher level of power (Ishtar)" involved.
The readers' eyes widened in surprise. Ishtar? Who is this? Someone of a higher level? More powerful than a god?
Wendy scratched his head, but he wasn't surprised. After all, Lin Qiu had already written about Tianli, so it wasn't surprising that he would write about Ishtar.
Shadow didn't have any particular thoughts. In any case, at least the outcome was good. With the help of this power, the Divine Cherry Tree sprouted in the past and protected Inazuma at that time.
Fortunately, I was in a hurry to find my friends and drive away the dark beasts when I came back, so I didn't go looking for trouble with this 'strange divine cherry tree' first.
Later, during the process of driving away the dark beasts, Lei discovered that the Divine Cherry Tree was helping him, and began to suspect that the tree might be related to his sister's consciousness space.
After all, it was only after she brought her sister's consciousness space back to Inazuma that the Divine Cherry Tree appeared.
You wouldn't believe it, this kid isn't stupid; he's quite smart, he just doesn't like to use it.
She had actually tried to prove this to Yae no Miko, but failed, because at that time the Divine Cherry Tree had not strictly been 'planted' yet.
After that, Lei stopped thinking and started researching dolls.
As the characters in the book were chatting, Paimon discovered a blind spot.
Paimon: "But don't you think that tree looks very different now?"
Readers only just realized that the divine cherry tree they saw in the illustrations was just an ordinary cherry tree, not a fox.
Could it be that the Divine Cherry Tree was influenced by the Fox Spirit during its growth, and gradually became unusual in appearance?
[Yae no Miko: "The cherry blossom tree is planted on my land, so of course it has to be pruned according to my tastes."]
Paimon: "Uh...you're so domineering..."
The readers were speechless. They never expected it to have this kind of 'influence'.
I really didn't expect that the way it was affected would be so simple and brutal.
[Yae no Miko: "Just kidding. This tree has been through a lot since it sprouted. It's only thanks to the fox's careful care that it has reached its current state."]
Yes, this tree appeared suddenly to Kage, but to Inazuma, it had existed for who knows how long.
Even the Fox Palace, which died hundreds of years ago, knew the method of the 'Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification,' which suggests that the foxes had 'maintained' the Divine Cherry Blossom Tree in this way before.
The readers were even more speechless; it turned out to be a joke!
It turns out that it really was because of the influence of the fox spirit that it turned out like this, we weren't wrong!
No wonder the Divine Cherry Tree already had the appearance of a fox during Asase Hibiki's time. I thought the Fox Prince was also quite 'interesting'.
In the story, Yae no Miko skips this topic and continues talking about the consciousness space.
She told the traveler that although she had found the location of the shadow, she was able to send the traveler to that most likely moment because of the strong desire of the shadow at that time.
Yae no Miko's words at the time were truly fulfilled by the Traveler. The ability to bring back the Shadow was also inseparable from the Traveler's efforts, for which Yae no Miko expressed her gratitude.
It was not a coincidence that Yinghui witnessed that scene, but an inevitable fate.
In the blurry 'river of time', she was carried to that moment, the moment most likely to bring back memories.
At the time, the Shadow thought that time was the same inside and outside the space, and when he saw the Traveler, he thought that Inazuma had suffered another disaster and had no choice but to ask her to come out of the mountains.
They've come all this way to invite the 'Supreme Ancestor' who's been in seclusion for five hundred years; this must be no ordinary matter, at least it's something that has offended a 'prodigy'.
Thankfully, that didn't happen; the traveler was just there to rescue her.
