There is no doubt that she is "Jingwei", the incarnation of the Jingwei bird.
"Miss Luo Ling," Jingwei bowed gracefully and softly to Luo Ling, her delicate and gentle voice like the sound of a stream, "I can't express my gratitude enough. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid... my existence would have been wiped out long ago."
"Ahem"
Seeing Jingwei, who looked very similar to Miss Iris, performing such serious actions, Luo Ling always had an indescribable sense of déjà vu. She couldn't help but imagine what the scene would be like if Miss Iris said these words. For a moment, she even felt embarrassed.
Jingwei seemed to notice that Luo Ling was slightly uncomfortable, but she just smiled faintly and continued,
"She is indeed a little clumsy in some aspects. Perhaps it is because I neglected to teach her."
"That's not what I meant..."
Luo Ling said embarrassedly. At this moment, she inexplicably felt like she was meeting the parents.
Especially since she just met her parents...
"No problem."
Jingwei waved her hand gently, and in the blink of an eye, a small and exquisite pavilion rose out of thin air on the empty grassland, with a set of stone tables and stone chairs inside.
After she took her seat, she extended her hand to invite Luo Ling.
"The conditions are limited, Miss Luo Ling, please make do with it for now."
"Um... "
Luo Ling sat down and watched Jingwei take out a whole set of coffee tables like a magic trick, even moving out a small stove for making tea.
Unexpectedly, Jingwei's living habits are quite exquisite...
After a dazzling operation, Jingwei pushed a small cup of brewed tea in front of Luo Ling and said with a smile,
"Ms. Luo Ling, please."
Luo Ling picked up the tea, hesitated for a moment, and drank it all in one gulp.
“It’s a bit bitter.”
After drinking it in one breath, Luo Ling felt her tongue was a little numb and her little face was squeezed together.
"It seems that Miss Luo Ling is not used to strong tea." Jingwei said with a smile, and poured another cup of lighter tea for Luo Ling, saying softly, "You can drink it slowly. Tea should be savored carefully."
Luo Ling did not drink the tea immediately. Looking at the tea soup, which was lighter than the previous cup but still had a slightly black color, he inexplicably hesitated.
"Lord Jingwei, you specially invited me here, is there something going on?"
She raised her head and asked seriously and solemnly.
Jingwei, who was sipping her tea, did not answer Luo Ling's question immediately. She moved elegantly and slowly, putting all the tea into her mouth, and then slowly said,
“Just some things that are important, but not very important.
Jingwei turned her head slightly and looked at Luo Ling's bangs, where a hairpin was faintly visible. She said,
"You... should have seen Him."
... ... .
Luo Ling raised her hand to cover the hairpin, but she didn't expect it to be hidden and was discovered directly.
However, she was a little confused and asked,
"Master Jingwei, do you know... Him?"
"I don't know him," Jingwei shook her head gently and said, "or it should be said that I know him, but he doesn't know me."
"... All right."
Luo Ling said that from the perspective of the timeline, when Jingwei was born from this world, her transformation had already entered nothingness.
Only "Taboo" is a sequence anomaly left over from the old days. Other sequence anomalies appeared in this world after the birth of the four major origin places.
“However,” Jingwei changed the subject and whispered, “In our eyes, the existence He left behind is like the bright sun in the eternal night. Even if you hide deeply, His light will still make us feel warm.
"Of course, this is only for us. For other beings, what you wear in your hair is just an ordinary hairpin."
"'We mean ..."
Luo Ling asked doubtfully.
"The sequence is weird - according to your understanding." Jingwei nodded slightly and continued, "We are limited by the path, but at the same time we are the ones who feel the 'doomsday' and 'transformation' the most deeply.
“However, being able to appear in a personified form is something that only a minority can do. Even I couldn’t do it in the past. It was only after being healed by your ‘transformation’ that I truly developed the self-awareness that is now able to talk to you.
"I see... "
Luo Ling nodded thoughtfully.
It was strange and human-like. Luo Ling had heard similar statements countless times, and she was once thought to be one of them.
Now it seems... it should be the weird sequence on the weird side that caused a certain deviation to the orderly side, breaking free a little from the bound fate.
My sister in the past should have been in a similar situation. The sacrifice of countless Colombians generated a certain will for "transformation", and eventually the personality named "Su Wan" was born.
"I can tell you something about the 'Great Xia Imperial City'. Unfortunately, I know very little about it myself, so I can only give you a little insight." Jingwei said softly with a slightly regretful look on her face.
“It’s okay, go ahead.
Luo Ling nodded. She already had enough question marks on her head anyway, so one more or one less would not make any difference.
After a moment's consideration, Jingwei said,
"You should have heard of the distinction between 'legends' and 'real worlds' in the Great Xia Imperial City, right?"
"Um."
Luo Ling nodded slightly.
When she was in the Xuanyuan family, she had seen many files that deliberately emphasized this point.
"In fact, each place of origin has some special rules of 'transformation'," Jingwei said, "Valhalla's nine distinct worlds, Victoria's chaotic era, Daxia Imperial City's 'legend' and 'present world'... Columbia was destroyed too early, so we have no way of knowing, but I think there should be some."
Luo Ling listened carefully, and corresponding to her experience, it was indeed just as Jingwei said.
In the Great Xia Imperial City, there has never been any chaotic era, and all territories are operating in the same era.
She has not seen the nine worlds of Valhalla yet, but there are related records in the records of old Valhalla. The worlds between the living and the dead, "gods" and mortals are difficult to cross, and it has even caused several riots that affected the entire old Valhalla, which was called "Twilight of the Gods."
"When the protection of 'Metamorphosis' has not yet expired, 'Legend' and 'Present World' are two corresponding worlds that can influence each other." Jingwei dipped her fingers in the tea on the coffee table and began to draw on the stone table.
The two circles represent legend and the present world respectively, and the two only intersect partially.
"What happens in the 'real world' will affect the 'legend', and what happens in the 'legend' will in turn affect the 'real world'. All the worship of gods in the Great Xia Imperial City began from this time."
At this point, Jingwei took up some tea, cut open the intersection of the two circles, and said in a deep voice,
"And just when the protection of "Transformation" was broken, the 'real world' and the 'legend'... were completely separated, frozen in the last moment."
Chapter 105: Changes in Changshengtian (8k)
Because of the protection of "Metamorphosis", different places of origin have extended different laws for maintaining protection. When this law is broken, it means that the protection of "Metamorphosis" has come to an end.
This is true of Victoria's boundary collapse and three hundred years of reincarnation, and it is also true of the "legend" of the Great Xia Imperial City.
"So, what is the current state of "Legend"?" Luo Ling pondered for a moment and asked.
The situation in Daxia Imperial City seemed to be much more complicated than that in Victoria. Of course, it was also possible that Luo Ling’s final battle in Victoria completely destroyed the remaining problems of the “transformation” laws.
“I’m afraid these questions cannot be explained in a few words,” Jingwei said with a bitter look on her face. She sighed softly, “In a word, the present world is still affected by the legend, but this influence stopped at the moment when the guardian of the “transformation” was broken.
"But what is certain is that the 'legend' still exists."
"In other words, there is another you in the 'legend'?" Luo Ling scratched the back of his head and asked, "The current you is influenced by the 'legend' and appears in the 'present world'..."
"It shouldn't be. In the past, I took the initiative to leave 'Legend' in order to fill up the Sea of Doom. This influence will not affect the gods themselves. However, the more detailed situation... you have to explore it yourself. After all, "Legend" and "the present world" have been separated for too long. I don't know what kind of changes have occurred in them.
Jingwei paused for a moment, took out a tail feather, handed it to Luo Ling, and said, "This is my token. If you have the opportunity to step into the Legend, it may be useful to you."
""legend'.."
Luo Ling took the tail feather, which carried a soft yet cold aura and a hint of sadness.
This is the tail feather of the Jingwei bird. With the help of this tail feather, the "Black Kite" transformed by Luo Ling will be almost exactly the same as the Jingwei bird.
"Miss Luo Ling, if you want to solve the dilemma of the Great Xia Imperial City, and even the entire world, your 'Legend' journey is indispensable." Jingwei said softly.
"It's a pity that although I am a god from the 'Legend', my understanding of the 'Legend' may not be as good as that of the Great Xia Imperial City, because after I turned into Jingwei in the 'Legend', I was left with only the obsessions of my life, constantly filling up the East China Sea that buried me.
"As for why the landfill turned into the Sea of Doom, I'm not sure about the specific reasons, but it is closely related to the changes in the 'Legend'."
Luo Ling nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I understand."
"By the way, I called you here for another reason besides this... I wonder if you have received the news." Jingwei hesitated for a moment and continued,
"I sensed the death of an old friend. Unfortunately, due to my previous confusion, I was unable to identify who this old friend was. I only know that... a familiar aura dissipated and no longer remained in this world."
"Your old friend?" Luo Ling's expression became serious after hearing this. She thought for a moment and shook her head, "Sorry, I really don't know."
Since Jingwei called her an old friend, she should also be from the "legend", but after thinking about it, Luo Ling could only think of a fairy.
And now, the fairy is alive and well.
Although she had a hard life after she turned into a delusion...
"Maybe I'm just overthinking." Jingwei smiled. Seeing that the tea in front of Luo Ling had lost its heat, she reached out and poured the tea onto the tea table. She brewed another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Luo Ling, apologetically saying, "Look at me. I was so engrossed in my talk that I didn't even notice that the guest's tea had gotten cold."
... ..
Luo Ling was too embarrassed to say that she didn't drink on purpose.
It must be said that Jingwei's tea was terribly strong. She did like drinking tea before, but she basically just made a big pot of it to refresh herself while reviewing her homework at night. She had never tasted such bitter tea.
"Master Jingwei, is there anything else?"
Luo Ling raised his head and said seriously.
"There is nothing else urgent, but if you still have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
Jingwei picked up the tea, blew it a little, and then seemed to think of something, and continued,
"Also, you don't have to call me Sir, it always seems a bit strange, just call me 'Jingwei'.
The reason why Luo Ling used the title "Lord Jingwei" was actually because of the influence of Iris.
There was no way around it. Miss Iris always called her "Lord Jingwei" whenever she mentioned Jingwei, so Luo Ling just called her that as well.
"Well, I'll be polite then." Luo Ling nodded and said, "However, I have other things to do, so I won't continue to nag Jingwei."
Luo Ling stood up and bowed to Jingwei.
Jingwei also stood up to return the greeting, and said with a little regret,
"Don't you plan to stay a little longer? I haven't even brewed half of this pot of delicious tea yet..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ling's scalp tingled again. If she continued to stay, she could not refuse Jingwei's invitation. It was not Luo Ling's style to destroy the host's good intentions in front of her. She could only find an opportunity to leave first.
Jingwei didn't know where the tea came from, but it tasted not only bitter.
"No, no, I really have other things to do."
Luo Ling said repeatedly, then bowed again and said,
"No need to send me off, Master Jingwei... You should rest well during this period. I see that you still have some hidden injuries from before."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Luo Ling. It is indeed a little..."
Hearing these words, Jingwei could not help but be deeply moved. She did not expect that even though she had deliberately concealed it, she was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Luo Ling.
Being able to care about me like this is truly something I cannot repay.
In that case...
"How about this, Miss Luo Ling," Jingwei said as if she had made up her mind, "I still have some of the good tea left. I'll share some with you as a souvenir..."
Before she finished her words, Jingwei saw a trace of fear flash across Luo Ling's face, and then the girl's figure disappeared and completely left "Victoria at Dusk".
"... Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like Miss Luo Ling is a little disgusted with my tea?"
Jingwei frowned slightly, but soon figured it out and relaxed.
"You must have seen how much I value these teas and didn't want to take away my treasures, so you pretended to be like this. Miss Luo Ling, you really have a thoughtful heart."
Even she would feel a little sad to give away the tea leaves from the "legendary" land to others, after all, a little bit means less.
She sat down again, intending to savor the remaining tea, when she inadvertently saw a small green head peeking out.
