Useless

You can't do it! "

"It's his reputation." Li Yan lowered his eyes, "God's will is unpredictable, and I'm just a speck of dust in the world of mortals."

The golden crow was falling in the west, and the night was approaching. The orange-red afterglow seemed to melt, and fell from the sky beyond the ninety-nine sky to the mortal world, like an ethereal cloud-falling road, which could connect the distant imperial tomb and the mountain top where the two were.

"Are you leaving?" A Ruan grabbed Li Yan's cuff nervously, her voice trembling.

Li Yan shook the girl's hand comfortingly, and fixed her wind-blown hair on the temples: "Say goodbye to me."

Ah Ruan pursed her lips stubbornly, and held on to him.

"It's a rare blessing to see you again before I'm alive. People can't be too greedy." Li Yan gently but firmly opened her fingers.

"I, I don't want you to go." A Ruan's tears rolled in his eyes, "You are alone... waiting for your friend there alone, how long will you have to wait for it?"

"I've been waiting for a long time, I'll be able to wait one day." Li Yan finally patted the girl's thin shoulder, "Take care, Ruan."

"You guys are so nice, we will definitely see you again!" Ah Ruan let go of her fingers with tears in her eyes, "Take care too!"

"Then I will lend you a good word." Li Yan turned around with a smile, and stepped on the cloud path in the twilight.The clouds under the sunset glow lingered around him, like the poplar flowers flying all over the sky in the capital city in early spring and the snow falling all over the mountains and fields on the top of Taihua in mid-winter.

The light trails flashing in every corner from time to time shatter and disperse with the floating white catkins, merging into a silent sigh, and the newly dead wandering soul will never be able to fill the insatiable Artemisia.Looking forward for thirty years, looking back at Qiongqiong for hundreds of years, his life has been divided into two halves since the separation. One is calmly and resolutely moving forward along the time axis, while the other is thinking and whimsically trying to find A past that has been trampled into a mess.Fortunately, he was born with a limit to his life, so he did not fall into a state of obsession.

He cast his eyes on the endless wilderness, as if lost, but also relieved.The dense reeds filled his field of vision, and it was hard to see what was in front of him.

Sadness is a spring mirror, and the north wind blows tears and cloud the river.

The soft stems and leaves broke off at the soles of his shoes and around his hands, blocking his way wetly.The sound of noisy water close at hand hit his eardrums, as if a small boat was being pushed by the rushing water, and it disappeared in the corner of the eye.Standing on the edge of the reeds almost as tall as a person, he seemed to be struck by the lightning hidden in the gap of time, and the impulsive impulse pushed aside the past events that came one after another, blazed a bloody path through the maze, and came to him.He stood stiffly in place, like a fossil lost in the depths of memory.At this moment, he finally understands that maybe their choices back then were not wrong, and the different paths will eventually lead to the same ending.

"You, why are you back again?!" A very familiar voice burst into his ears.

He turned around and opened his arms to Le Wuyi's surprised eyes.

In the sky and on the ground, they looked at each other in the twilight of the Forgotten River and the Milky Way——

"Hello, I'm Yi Ze." He said softly, not daring to disturb even a crumbling white catkin.

The person on the opposite side was stunned, and suddenly showed a very bright smile, and thousands of stars fell into those amber-like pupils again at this moment: "I am Wuyi, very happy to meet you."

The flying reed flowers whitened the black temples, and the breeze of time carved out the vicissitudes of life, but the flowing river washed them back to their youthful appearance little by little.

The spring tide condenses into frost, the deep snow melts in the autumn light, the fallen flowers leap back to the branches, and the summer cicadas sing in Qingyang.

The time axis collapsed to the origin where no choice was made, and the history was swallowed up by the retrograde time until only the opening line remained.

You were wrapped in my last dream—

I am finally by your side.

END

postscript

In the later biography, when Lele and Yize meet again, they can finally let out the breath that hangs in their throats. It feels like a long and lonely dream that has finally come to an end.

The feeling is different from the last time I finished a long novel. All the words have been said, and the protagonists of the story have come to their own end, so there is no need to explain redundant things.

Whether the crucial gray road coordinates were passed to Wuyi by Yi Suisheng in the final chapter, or passed to Liu Yue by the traveler "Mr. Yue" at the beginning of the journey, no one can actually say clearly.If it is possible to travel through time and space, how do you know whether the world you are in is the original timeline of chaos, or the final timeline that has been modified beyond recognition?Regret medicine is addictive, how to ensure that every time travel must be the last time?Those who have loved and hated, life and death, reunion and separation, which one will be the best ending?

No one knows.

A fucking story, hope you enjoy your meal, thanks.
