After hearing Shenzhenzi's murmur with his own ears and witnessing its expression when speaking, Sarlayan realized that he had been mistaken, and that Ysera was right.
Shenzhenzi does still have a nostalgia for the world, but this is not because he is afraid of death, but because he is worried that Liu Lang's adventurous spirit will gradually disappear with his own death.
Shen Zhenzi's worries were not groundless.
Since Liu Lang's death, the passion for adventure among the Pandaren of Wandering Island has indeed declined from generation to generation.
Through the strong emotions contained in Shenzhenzi's words, Sarlayan finally touched the true thoughts in his heart.
At the same time, Sarlayan also realized something.
Shen Zhenzi also had a misunderstanding. He underestimated the will of the panda people and the persistent belief of mortals in pursuing their ideals.
Most of the pandaren who are willing to follow Liu Lang and leave Pandaria have a passion for exploring the unknown.
Although fewer and fewer descendants have inherited this passion from generation to generation, this does not mean that the adventurous spirit passed down by Liu Lang will die out.
As long as the Elder House of Wuchen Temple is still operating normally, the deeds of our ancestors can still be preserved from generation to generation.
Young pandas can always learn about the vast world outside the Wandering Island from their elders, and then they yearn for it. When they grow up, they personally join it and become one of the adventurers who travel on the Wandering Island.
The will of an individual mortal is indeed very fragile and can easily be affected by external factors and gradually lose its original intention.
But when a person's will is passed down from generation to generation in the form of cultural inheritance, the fragile will will be kneaded into a firm belief similar to faith, and will no longer be easily affected by external influences.
According to Ysera's estimation, Shenzhenzi should have a natural lifespan of about 30 years.
Thirty years is neither long nor short.
Sarlayan relayed the spirit he had just realized to Shenzhenzi, and asked it if it wanted to have an immortal life, watch over the pandas on the Wandering Island forever, and tell the new pandas about Liu Lang's spirit from generation to generation.
people.
Shen Zhenzi fell into a long silence after learning about the changes in the Wandering Island during the years he had been sleeping.
Sarlayan did not rush, and sat in front of the big turtle with Ysera, patiently waiting for it to straighten out its thoughts before responding.
"Will, inheritance, it turns out...that's what it is."
After more than an hour, Shen Zhenzi finally came back from his thoughts and let out a long sigh with emotion.
"I underestimated the will of mortals and the weight of Liu Lang's ideals. I was wrong."
With his thoughts clear, Shenzhenzi's eyes, which had always looked very decadent, became bright and clear.
"Send me back. It's time to tell those little guys the real story of Liu Lang's adventures."
After being passed down orally for many generations of pandas, Liu Lang's adventures have become somewhat distorted when passed down to the present day, and many fantasy elements that were not originally included have been added to them.
According to the barrage, if the story continues for hundreds of years, maybe Liu Lang will become an omnipotent Pandaren Heavenly Lord who can escape from heaven and earth.
There may even be bizarre records of kicking the God of Thunder and punching the Four Heavenly Gods.
Although Shen Zhenzi hopes that the panda people on Wandering Island can always remember Liu Lang's spirit, he does not want Liu Lang's life to be artificially deified. The original is the truth.
The process of convincing Shen Zhenzi was unexpectedly smooth.
Just as Ysera predicted, Shenzhenzi, who had figured everything out, did not want to obtain eternal life.
His best friend passed away hundreds of years ago, and his parents, brothers and sisters have also returned to the cycle of life one after another in these hundreds of years. For Shenzhenzi, who has no care for him, eternal life is not a blessing, but a curse.
This is also the reason why Sarlayan tried every means to give Valeera the blessing of eternal life. If he is the only one among the many people he knows who can live forever, one day, his mind will be wiped out by endless years.
At that time, eternal life will turn into endless torture.
Although Ysera still looks young and beautiful on the outside, she actually has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
In the long passage of time, she has witnessed too many joys and sorrows, and has personally come into contact with fellow dragons who were depressed because of the death of their loved ones, relatives and friends.
Most of these dragons will choose to end their lives after a long period of torture, and bury their bones peacefully in the Dragonbone Wilds, forever accompanying their deceased relatives and friends.
After returning Shenzhenzi's consciousness to his body, Ysera, Sarlayan and others watched with their own eyes as the huge turtle opened its eyes again, raised its head and let out a distant roar.
"Salayan."
"I am here."
Standing at the edge of the Zen Staff Forest, Ysera patted Sarlayan with emotion.
"Your mentality has not been adjusted yet. You are still following the short-lived thinking mode, and you lack the understanding of empathy for long-term vision."
"In the current turbulent situation in Azeroth, this can be considered a good thing. This kind of thinking mode can make you more alert and will not be like the dull old guys like us who are afraid of external dangers.
Lack of sensitivity.”
"Azeroth's turbulent period will eventually pass. This is a natural law and an inevitable process for the development of the planet."
"At that time, you must re-examine your past and future, and adjust your mentality in a timely manner, otherwise sooner or later you will fall into a cycle of anxiety because you have nothing to do, and in the end... there is a high probability that you will self-destruct."
Sarlayan's eyebrows twitched: "Is it really that serious?"
Ysera's eyes are very deep, containing wisdom accumulated over the years.
"Perhaps I'm exaggerating a little, but in short it's pretty much the same. It's up to you to control the difference."
"alright!"
Finally, she patted Sharlayan's head hard, and after going out to relax for a while, Ysera planned to return to Wyrmrest Temple.
"Come to the Dragon Bone Wilderness more often when you have time, and communicate more with other members of the same race. I believe you will have a deeper understanding of the long life of the dragon race."
"There are endless things to do. You have to learn to relax and decompress. Don't just rush forward blindly. Occasionally, you have to look back and see if the road behind you is solid."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sarlayan nodded in an educated manner: "Master Shangxi's teachings also have this meaning... I will think about it carefully. Thank you for your help.
, Your Majesty Ysera."
"Ha~" Ysera waved her hand freely and walked into the portal opened by Stellagosa.
"Thank you for nothing, I just thought I came out to relax."
"By the way, Onyxia will follow you for the time being, so that no one will keep suing her in Wyrmrest Temple."
"Complain..."
After watching Ysera leave, Sarlayan looked at the Black Dragon Princess who was eating buns with a strange expression.
"...What exactly did you do in Longmian Temple?"
Onyxia threw the remaining half of the bun into her mouth and shrugged nonchalantly.
"I just asked them to play with me. They are all the remaining games we played with Chromie. Who knew that this generation of baby dragons is so fragile."
'Chromie...'
The female bronze dragon whose original name was Cronom was notorious among the dragons. Dragons of the same generation as her would subconsciously show fear when her name was mentioned, let alone those of the younger generation.
Being able to play with the Demon King Chromie from childhood to adulthood, and even having back and forth with each other, Onyxia's so-called "game" is obviously not something that these young dragons who grew up in the peaceful era can bear.
Valeera and Stellagosa complained about Onyxia's laziness in staying, but with Queen Ysera speaking in person, they couldn't blatantly refute her.
Sharlayan didn't spend much energy on Onyxia, letting her play with Little Star and Valeera.
The next thing Sharlayan needs to consider is the trip to Pandaria.
Shenzhenzi untied his heart knot, woke up from a long sleep, and decided to face the remaining people in his life... Kame.
Worried that the adventurous spirit that Liu Lang passed on to the panda people of Wandering Island would be completely wiped out by returning home to enjoy themselves, Shen Zhenzi never returned to the mist-shrouded continent since Liu Lang's death.
The knot in his heart has been resolved, and Shen Zhenzi no longer has the same worries as in the past. He believes that the adventurous spirit that has become the inherited belief of Wandering Island will not disappear so easily.
With the unanimous request of Sharlayan and a large number of Wandering Island pandaren, Shenzhenzi agreed to take them back to Pandaria and see if there were any new changes in the long-lost land.
Through the barrage and reading of historical documents, Sarlayan had long known that Pandaria was located south of the Zandalari Islands, but the specific location had never been determined.
The mist of Pandaria is not an ordinary mist, but a mist transformed by Shaohao, the last emperor of the pandaren, with a will of its own.
As long as Shaohao is unwilling to let outsiders find Pandaria's location, no one will be able to enter Pandaria except for turtles with special abilities like Shenzhenzi, and they will just wander back and forth in the thick fog.
"Get ready, I'm going to speed up!"
Full of energy, Shenzhenzi swung his limbs and swam faster, changing course and heading towards the south of Azeroth.
