Chapter 1155: That Sea of Flowers
Mother...? As Xu Qing walked along behind Immortal Lord Aurora, he looked at the desert and listened to the story.
Perhaps it was some sort of resonance with his host’s body, or perhaps it was the word ‘mother’ itself. Either way, he suddenly found himself thinking about his own past.
In his mind’s eye, he saw Peerless City in the Revered Ancient mainland. He remembered his dad and mom there in the city. Those were good times. But then the blood rain fell.
He thought back to his father and mother. Perhaps he had traveled too far and experienced too many things, because all of a sudden he realized that all that remained of his parents in his memory was an outline. However, that outline exuded warmth. It didn’t matter how far he traveled or what he experienced, that impression would never go away. It would always be there in his mind.
People can’t determine who it is that they will see last in life. But the first people to accompany them are always the parents.
Mother....
At the same time, his host was also wrapped in such thoughts. In the memories of his host, he could see only the vague outline of a mother.... It was just like Xu Qing thinking about his past.
As of this moment, the two of them were in complete resonance. The resonance turned into ripples, flowing through the sea of the heart, stirring time and spreading out into the desert. It became part of the desert.
Immortal Lord Aurora’s voice drifted across the Desert of Time.
“Your mother and I got to know each other back in our hometown. She was my Junior Sister, in other words, the seventh apprentice of your grandfather. Back in those days, there was a sun and moon, but they looked different than they do now.”[1]
Immortal Lord Aurora was talking to Xu Qing, but also seemed to be simply recalling the past. As he spoke, he seemed to get older, and to sink further into reminiscence. “Back then, our hometown was just one of many captive minor worlds in the Fifth Star Ring that belonged to the gods. It was a life in which you worshiped gods, were enslaved by them, and had nothing to look forward to except death.
