The foreshadowing about love will only be revealed later. Right now, people don't have much of an emotional reaction to Lanromo's words; they just feel like they've learned a few more secrets.

Instead, it was Lanromo's later conversation with the traveler that drew everyone's attention.

Lanromo mentioned that the seal on 'Wuruta' has three layers, meaning that the seal must be broken three times in order to reach the past Huan Nalana.

At this point, the traveler mentioned "everything is three," something that Aru had mentioned when they were in Heguan. Unexpectedly, it came back to them here.

For some viewers who have been following the series closely, it felt like being hit with a heavy punch out of the blue.

What's going on? We haven't even gotten over the sadness of Lanromo's impending departure, and you're making us reminisce about Aruru?

The thought that they had promised to show Aru the world, but what she saw was like this, evoked mixed feelings in the audience. They really wanted to know how Aru would feel after seeing all this.

Will it cry? If it cries... that seems kind of interesting...

It is said that Aruru and Lanromo do have some similarities.

They were both children, but now they've both grown up.

Aruru grows up gradually in an endless cycle, while Lanromo is 'forced' to grow up under numerous memories.

In the end, they were all unable to leave, and could only let the traveler see the world on their behalf.

The sadness Aruru stirred was merely an appetizer; as the traveler delved deeper, he discovered the first 'inscription of memory,' which read:

"I have so many stories I want to hear. Was Lanraja's dream beautiful? How are Lanlana and Lanmani doing? The new songs born during this time must be so beautiful!"

This was left behind by a Lanarara when the old Huanarana was destroyed. He had never seen the dream of Lanraja, nor had he ever seen the new Huanarana.

He wanted to know if the new Huan Nalan was beautiful, if his friends were doing well, and if the new song belonged to someone whose memories it was related to.

"Ah, but don't rush to tell me, because I can no longer hear or see, can I? But it's alright, we will meet again in the Sands."

"May the new dream never be eroded by the wrath of the Buddha."

"May the old stories be forgotten along with the story of Wuluoda."

Let the world... completely forget...

The last two sentences almost foreshadow the story of the Tree King and Nasita: the new 'dream' will not be eroded, and the old 'story' will be forgotten.

After reading the story of Sumeru and then the book about the forest, I really found that many things in them are reflected in each other.

Clearly, the inscription seals a Lanalo who wants to see his friends' dreams and hear their songs, but his wishes are destined to remain unfulfilled because he cannot see or hear them.

For years he remained in the same place with the seal, waiting for someone to remove Wuluo Tuo, and then be forgotten along with Wuluo Tuo.

They met again in Shaheng.

The long wait, with no end in sight, reminded everyone of the Five Hundred Treasures.

Those who love excitement, festivals, and fun have been sealed in place, unable to move, and have remained there for hundreds of years.

Those who love to watch will blind you, those who love to listen will deafen you, and those who love to move will cut off your legs.

Viewers with strong empathy felt a deep sense of loneliness, like a needle piercing the bone marrow, stuck there, making you uncomfortable at every turn, but not fatal.

Unlike the more emotional viewers, the more rational viewers focused on the last two sentences.

Wuluo Tuo seems to be the Dead Zone, right? Will clearing the Dead Zone make us forget the old stories?

The Grass God has cleared the dead zone, but we haven't forgotten anything.

We...haven't forgotten anything, have we?

I always feel empty inside, as if I've forgotten something very important, something I can't forget... What is it?

The audience was confused, not understanding why they had such feelings.

Little did they know that the forgotten protagonist was sitting in a corner of the Fontainebleau cinema watching the story.

She has ushered in a new beginning, chosen the life she wants, and her new dreams will no longer be eroded by 'Wu Liu Tuo'.

Being able to observe stories related to himself from an outsider's perspective allowed the Tree King to rediscover the joy of being a 'scholar'.

Sure enough, as a 'scholar', she still preferred to be an observer.

'Omniscience' isn't interesting; it's maintaining curiosity that she finds true enjoyment in it.

However, the story she was reading at this moment was about her own family, and she knew what the future would hold. She felt no curiosity, only sadness.

The Tree Queen was kind-hearted by nature, and having sacrificed herself countless times for her people, she knew that her followers would make the same choice as her.

The Lanaras may appear like children, but they are, after all, her retinue, the 'fruits' created by the Juewang Tree under the influence of her thoughts, and naturally they will resemble her.

The Tree King experienced the feeling of 'foreseeing the future'. It turned out that this was not a happy thing. It just meant that everyone knew in advance about the sad ending, but the sadness could not be avoided.

Has Lin Qiu been experiencing this sadness all along? It's truly remarkable that he can remain so cheerful.

So, is his habit of telling corny jokes actually a way to mask his sadness? It seems we need to encourage him more.

Lin Qiu had a different view on this point: the Tree King was too compassionate and could not find happiness in the tears of others.

But Lin Qiu can do it. That's right, Lin Qiu is still moved after reading these stories, and sometimes he is even injured by the 'anti-armor'.

Many of these stories have been adapted into animated films, and the animation effects sometimes even amplify the somber atmosphere.

But whenever he sees the tears shed by others watching this scene, he can't help but smile. Even though he is hurt by the anti-armor and feels sad, his smile is genuine.

Look, you're smiling too.

Chapter 697 The Second Seal

While others watched the plot with laughter and chatter, unaware of the ending, Lin Qiu laughed along with them.

They laughed because they didn't know what would happen next; I laughed because I knew.

This is a Lanaolo, isn't it cute? *Snap* That's it.

This is the Great Compassion Tree King, isn't she gentle? *Snap*—gone too.

When all these people are gone, all the scenes that made everyone smile in the past turn into knives stabbing at our present selves.

When everyone realized it was a knife, they stopped laughing, but Lin Qiu was still laughing.

All I can say is that everyone else is watching the violence, while he's watching for fun.

However, the story hasn't reached the point of violence yet. At this moment, the leaves on Lanromo's head are emitting a faint green light, and even the patterns on its body are glowing, making it look quite beautiful.

The little boy flew ahead of the travelers, yet he spoke profound truths.

Lanromo has really changed. He says he has gained memories from thousands of years ago, and Lanarara's power comes from those memories.

At this time, Lanromo's speech became much more mature, even full of Buddhist qualities.

This change is something everyone can naturally feel. To put it simply, at first, when everyone didn't know how the ending would be, they were happy for Lanromo's growth.

That's right, not only are people not sad, but they are even a little happy because Lanromo has grown up.

Having accompanied Lanromo on his adventures all along, now that Lanromo has grown up, I feel as if I have witnessed the entire process of his growth.

It's like raising a small pet or a child. When the child grows up, you'll inexplicably think of how small and adorable the child looked when he was little, and then you'll smile knowingly.

Just like in the current scene where Lanromo is flying ahead, he also flew ahead of the traveler in the same way when they first met.

However, there was a difference. Back then, Lanromo was running away, but this time he flew in front of the traveler to help her open the barrier and protect her.

In the past, Lanromo used to say "violent burial" like a child, his language was half-baked, and he was afraid of the wicked mushroom beast.

Now Lanromo understands that it is called "treasure", and speaks in a language that even adults are not familiar with, as he faces the mushroom beasts.

He's grown up, really grown up.

But no one could laugh anymore. This kind of 'growing up' was heartbreaking because everyone knew:

Lanromo has grown up; he is no longer a child hiding in his dreams, and he must take responsibility for everything himself.

What's even more painful is that everyone knows he's gradually heading towards 'death,' and he'll eventually leave us.

How strange! The lifespan of the Lannaruo should be much longer than that of humans, so why are humans the ones facing separation?

The feeling is like that of a pet that has been with you all your life is about to pass away, and all that may be left is a blade of grass, leaving you with a sense of emptiness.

But no matter how down you feel, the movie won't stop playing.

Along the way, the traveler cleared out many monsters and found the second memory inscription, which read:

"Lanlaji really wants to see all the flowers in Huannalana again, to see the birds in the green trees, and for us and Nara to sing under the trees."

["Lan Yama said Lan Laji is very brave; if you're afraid, just think about what you like."]

"So Lanraji decided on the content of the inscription, hoping it would also make you, who have come to the no longer beautiful Huanalana, even braver—"

"May the green fields and hills never turn yellow."

May the streams always be clear, and may the flowers always bloom.

A simple and direct blessing—that's all he likes.

This Lanaro has many, many wishes. Because he has so many things he wants to do, he has become very 'timid'.

He wanted to live because he still had so many things he wanted to see and do.

He wanted to stroll through verdant fields, climb towering hills, drink the best-tasting water, and see seas of flowers in full bloom.

But then Wuluo Tuo appeared, and it destroyed everything—the flowering Huan Na Lana, the green trees, and the singing birds. Now, he seemed to have nothing to fear.

Because he could no longer see what he liked, he stepped forward and became part of the seal so that everyone could continue to do what they wanted.

At the end of his life, the inscription he left behind was also meant to encourage those who came after him, hoping they would gain courage.

Even at the very last moment of his life, he still extended his sincerest wishes to the world and others, which was truly touching.

The Lanaros are like children, still retaining a sense of innocence even in the face of suffering, like the light of 'idealism'.

Idealism may be ridiculed by those who love dark and gritty themes, but for those who are fed up with reality, it is a healing balm.

The audience was already feeling down, and seeing this scene made them even more emotional.

But for some reason, they wanted to cry but couldn't, because it was all so tragic yet so tender, making it impossible to express their emotions in a single way.

The Great Compassion Tree King was even more impressed by Lin Qiu's prowess. He was able to control such complex emotions and only let out a cheerful smile. He was truly amazing.

After all, this feeling is too strange, really too strange. All the emotions in my heart are bottled up, wanting to be vented but unable to be released.

It's truly remarkable that Lin Qiu could still smile so genuinely despite having such complex emotions in his heart.

Look at Lin Qiu's sincere smile, it seems to be all heartfelt joy. So that's why his pen name is Qiu Cheng, it really is the sincerity of sincerity.

The others besides Lin Qiu felt very sad, and even felt that it would be better to let the sadness come more directly, so that everyone could cry their hearts out.

Why? Why mix so many beautiful emotions into sadness?

And what if a predictable sad ending is added to a beautiful story?

Sensitive people can't bear it; they can feel all the emotions and feel a mix of feelings.

Funina was like that; her eyes were already moist, as if she was holding back tears.

No, she wants to have a good cry right now, but the beautiful parts of the relationship prevent her from shedding tears.

Aberdo noticed the emotions of those around him, and to be honest, he was a little envious.

Human emotions are so complex and diverse, they are truly enviable.

The research on Lin Qiu's compensation had long since ended, but he continued to tirelessly help Lin Qiu.

Because being able to observe human emotions and changes in feelings is also a good source of material for Aberdo.

For Abedo, drawing itself wasn't difficult; finding inspiration was.

In other words, Abedo's mentality is the same as Lin Qiu's; they both want to see others' emotions explode.

The only difference was that Abedo's smile wasn't as 'cheerful' as Lin Qiu's.

Chapter 698 Breaking the Seal

Perhaps sensing the traveler's sorrow, Lanromo in the film spoke:

"The grass will sprout again from the earth, and the withered trees will grow leaves once more. Why? Because life will always triumph over death."
