The cold wind blew by, and the sand and dust picked up the grass roots under the soil and spread all over the sky. The land was barren, lacking in life, and there was no human habitation for thousands of miles.
In the distance, there was a silver-haired woman with tears in her eyes as she kept digging into the earth. At first she looked like crazy, then like a machine, every day.
For twenty-five years, she has been digging in this icy frozen soil, leaving her footprints for thousands of miles.
If a mortal woman has been through twenty-five years, her youth will have faded long ago, and her hair will be stained with snow. How many people can be so persistent in digging in the ground.
"Why, it must be here, I want to find you, I want to take care of you when you are alive, and I will accompany you when you die!"
She burst into tears again. Twenty-five years had passed since that battle, and every day her heart was cut by a knife. Whenever she thought of the last scene of that year, she felt suffocated and her whole body turned cold.
She herself also fainted for many days, and it took more than a month to wake up. As a result, she saw the devastation, the ground was full of bloodstains, countless dead bodies, the mountains and rivers were broken, the heroes were gone, and only the bones and dried blood were left.
Mottled and mottled, recording the desolation of the past.
Ying Xiaoxiao cried for a long time and started to take action again. She clearly remembered that he fell on this land that day. She had been searching frantically for more than 20 years. Why couldn't she find him?
There were many dead bones in the excavated underground, which was endless sorrow. She really didn't want to recall the scene of the last battle.
The Dog King wanted to send them away, but she was reluctant to let him go, fearing that something might happen to him, because she had already seen the farewell in his eyes, and they might never see each other again in this life.
Therefore, at the last moment, she broke out of the light curtain and stayed behind no matter what. Even if she died, she would stay with him on this land.
"Brother Chu Feng, where are you? I have been looking for you for many years!" Ying Xiaoxiao cried.
There are not many living things within a thousand miles radius, and large areas of the land are bare. Both the population and the vitality of the land have dropped by more than 90%.
Two years later, Ying Xiaoxiao is still digging. She wants to dig through the entire land. Even if she sees the most unacceptable result, she will continue.
"Why is my strength getting weaker and weaker, and the essence of this world and all kinds of spiritual energy becoming thinner?" Ying Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky.
Her beautiful clothes back then were already in tatters, but a woman who loved beauty didn't care about them and started looking for Chu Feng again.
She did not give up on this area because she knew that the war that year had changed the landscape, and Chu Feng might have sunk into the nearby ground.
In the four fields, many mountain peaks are broken, telling the horror of the First World War. The whole land is like this, and many areas are annihilated.
On this day, she searched again as usual. When walking down a newly discovered crack in the earth, she suddenly opened her eyes in surprise. She saw tattered battle clothes and blood stains...
"It's his suit!" She rushed down like crazy, not forgetting that even if a long time passed, the memory would not fade. She still remembered that he was wearing that moon-white suit in the last battle.
.
But now, it is covered with blood, has turned dark red, and is broken into many pieces, just below.
"Chu Feng!" Ying Xiaoxiao cried, rushing to the bottom of the big crack.
She was afraid that the reality was too cruel, that there was still no trace of Chu Feng, and that when she found him, he would already be a cold withered skeleton. She kept crying and fell down.
Finally, she saw the man lying quietly on the ground, motionless, with his arms and legs deformed. He had been severely injured during the war, and no one had ever helped him recover.
Ying Xiaoxiao trembled and picked up Chu Feng, as if she had found the rarest treasure, unwilling to let go, muttering: "You are not dead, for sure, I will take you away and cure you!"
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to check immediately whether Chu Feng was alive or dead. She just wanted to believe that he was still alive.

It wasn't until a long time ago that she calmed down, touched his heart with her hand, and touched his forehead with her soul light.
"Ah, it's great to be alive!" She was like a young girl who didn't know much about the world, smiling happily, crying with joy, and jumping up and down in place.
From losing to regaining possession, this kind of joy and touch made Ying Xiaoxiao unable to help crying. She had already prepared for the worst, thinking that even if she found it, it might be a mutilated and cold corpse, or even just some broken pieces.
Bone pieces.
"God, this is the first time I want to thank you on purpose!"
Soon after, she found a stone jar in the cracked ground, not far away. The jar was open and contained various rare and powerful medicines.
She knew that this should be Chu Feng's life-saving medicine prepared for him to fight to the death, but unfortunately, the spiritual essence and medicinal properties contained in it were almost lost.
"It looks like a Daeyu-level powerhouse used the breathing method on his own and absorbed it unconsciously?" Ying Xiaoxiao wondered.
This is enough to show the seriousness of Chu Feng's injuries. The essence of those rare medicinal herbs was swallowed by his Dayu-level body, but he still did not wake up.
She kept pouring pure vitality into Chu Feng's body to revive him.
"Chu Feng, wake up!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Feng heard the call, and his soul in the darkness gradually revived, saw the light, and then saw a familiar but extremely haggard face - Ying Xiaoxiao.
Her silver hair had lost its luster, the dress she was wearing was in tatters, her face was dirty and covered with tears, but when she saw him opening his eyes, she was smiling.
"You finally woke up."
After a long time, Chu Feng struggled to sit up, and his bones crackled as they all reset.
This time, he was severely injured, mainly to his soul, but in the end, it was the woman on Pollen Road who helped him, and he was not beyond redemption.
Otherwise, if many Taoist ancestors attacked him at the last moment, he would definitely be destroyed physically and mentally!
Later, he discovered that it was probably Jiu Daoyi, Zhu Zhi and others who were desperately roaring to avenge him. In the end, his vision went dark and he didn't know anything.
"Xiaoxiao, don't cry." Chu Feng leaned against the stone wall of the big crack and started breathing. He didn't have much of a problem now. His soul had almost recovered after a long period of silence.
Suddenly, he saw the stone jar. Why was it still there?
He clearly remembered that in order to save Jiu Daoyi, he had knocked out the stone jar. He didn't know where it fell. How could it be here? It was impossible to fall with him.
"Xiaoxiao, this stone jar?" Chu Feng asked her.
"It was with you when I found you."
Chu Feng frowned. This thing is a bit weird. Could it be that Gu Gu really has self-awareness and ran back on his own? The Gu Tiandi was originally just a joke, but now its will has really fully recovered?!
He thought quietly, if it wasn't the jar itself that flew here, what force seemed to be pulling the cause and effect?
However, he soon stopped thinking about it. There was a silver-haired girl in front of him. She dug herself out of the big crack in the ground. Was she looking for her all the time?
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Chu Feng asked.
"I...have been looking for you." Ying Xiaoxiao cried and couldn't help crying. Over the years, she never gave up and finally found brother Chu Feng.
Chu Feng's heart moved. He thought of how during the war, he shouted to the Dog King and asked him to take care of those people. But at the last moment, someone ran out and did not leave with the bright light curtain. It was... Xiaoxiao
.
"You stayed and didn't retreat with them?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, I can't let you go!" Ying Xiaoxiao raised her head and said. She didn't mince words or whisper, but told him directly.
Chu Feng felt guilty and even more moved. He didn't know what to say. Finally, he asked her how many years had passed since the war and how the outside world was.
When he learned that Xiaoxiao had been searching every inch of the land here alone for twenty-seven years, Chu Feng's nose felt sore. He touched her messy silver hair and saw that her big eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that
Without a good rest, and with that extremely haggard face, he was touched in the deepest part of his heart. How could he remain indifferent to the fact that someone risked his life and death, backed out of the escape route, and came to him desperately.
"Thank you Xiaoxiao, but you shouldn't come back. The world of the underworld should be very dangerous now." Chu Feng seriously suspected that after he fell, a mysterious force hid him and allowed him to escape.
Otherwise, not only Xiaoxiao should have found him long ago, but the Taoist ancestors of Etu would never let go of him as the "cremated Taoist ancestor".
Those people clearly saw where he fell.
"I am very willing to come back. I am very happy now." Ying Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and laughed heartlessly, extremely brightly.
What's going on in the outside world? Ying Xiaoxiao doesn't know, because her area of activity is limited, and she only keeps digging in the earth in this area, looking for Chu Feng.
At that time, Xiaoxiao was also in a coma for a long time, at least for more than a month. She never saw the final result of the battle, and she later had no intention to understand the situation in the outside world.
All she knew was that the outside world was empty, and the survivors were far from even a single city.
Chu Feng returned to the surface and after changing his appearance, he walked on the earth with Xiaoxiao and saw devastation and bones everywhere.
He sighed softly, the great sacrifice was probably completed, much like 80% of the living beings died in one great sacrifice, and the remaining 20% were also destroyed in the following years.
Will the creatures in the depths of the earth come to the earth again?
Then, he frowned. There wasn't much weird substance left, but what about the aura of this world? But it also dropped sharply, less than 10% of the original.
"The Age of Dharma is coming?" He frowned.
In the next few months, Chu Feng took Xiaoxiao around the world, but did not find an old friend, not even a high-level evolver.
On the contrary, I met monks who were of very low level. As a result, they had no idea about the outcome of the battle on the day of the great ceremony, because their Taoism was so low that they were not even qualified to watch the Dao Ancestor battle at that time, and could not look outside the territory.
What about those old friends, the Nine Paths and Ones, and what happened to the rotting corpses?
Thinking of this, he felt heartache. He saw Gu Qing Dao collapse, and even saw the Dog King explode in front of his eyes, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Even you yourself died, where were the people you protected sent to!?" Chu Feng said to himself.
Soon after, Chu Feng realized a very serious problem. The spiritual energy of the entire world was still declining, and the world was about to dry up.
This is an unimaginable rate of decline. This large world is no longer suitable for cultivation. If this continues, it will lead to the Age of Absolute Spirituality. Without spiritual energy, there will be no more monks in the future!
Ten years later, Xiaoxiao was no longer able to fly, and the spiritual energy in her body was running out.
Twenty years later, Ying Xiaoxiao began to like looking in the mirror because she found that her body was showing signs of losing its youth.
She was scared, hugged one of Chu Feng's arms, and said, "Will I turn into an old woman?"
"I...if I really want to grow old, please send me to a quiet mountain village in advance. I don't want you to see me growing old. I want to leave quietly alone."
Obviously, she has already realized that this world is not suitable for evolvers, and it is very likely that no one will be able to evolve in the future.
However, Chu Feng's changes were only subtle. He was far stronger than her and was still the same as before.
"Xiaoxiao, I have a talisman here. It was given to me by the Dog King and told me to use it to escape." Chu Feng gave it to Xiaoxiao directly. He thought that this talisman might be able to send Xiaoxiao to a world with spiritual energy.
"Will you come with me?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"No, I want to cultivate into a mortal immortal in the age of Dharma. I want to realize the heart of the Immortal King in this desperate land. I want to rise from these ruins, realize the truth, and achieve the status of Taoist ancestor. I am not willing to fail like this.
Yes, I will go to the Eternal Land to take revenge!" Chu Feng's voice was low and he clenched his fists.
"If I don't leave, I will stay with you in this world. Although I may not be able to see you in the future, I know that you are still in this world, and I feel at ease." Ying Xiaoxiao asked Chu Feng to send her away
When she goes to a quiet mountain village, she wants to live an ordinary life.
When Chu Feng tried to persuade him in vain, he did not persist because he was afraid that the Dog King's Taoist talisman was not that effective, because even the dog himself died and could not escape.
There was still time for him to think of some more solutions.
After he left, Chu Feng found that Ying Xiaoxiao stood outside the small mountain village for a long time and never left.
He went back quietly, and saw her face full of tears, saying softly to herself: "I really can't bear to let you go, but I don't want you to see me getting older. I'm so sad. I will be alone."
I am silently waiting for your news here. I hope you will become a fairy in the world in the future. Before I get old, I will leave here quietly. I don’t want you to see me old and dead. I hope you will be fine in everything in the future.
good."
Chu Feng couldn't bear it any longer and strode out, hugging Ying Xiaoxiao who was filled with tears but was shocked and then extremely happy.
"You haven't left yet, do you still want to stay with me for a while? But it can't be too long, I'm getting old."
"Nonsense, you don't even look thirty years old, how can you be considered old?"
"But I used to look like I was only twenty years old, but now I am aging very quickly." Ying Xiaoxiao was in a low mood.
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying with you. What kind of fairy is this? If I want to escape even this, then I'll let you cry and grow old alone here. What kind of fairy am I? It's too incompetent!"
Not only did Chu Feng not leave, he also decided to stay with Xiaoxiao and grow old with her. How could he not understand her intentions?
She gave up the chance to escape, stayed and kept looking for him, and she was still crying and sad like this. How could she let him down?!
