Chapter 185 Flying Birds
Long, long ago, when the little gods were just born.
The sky was deep red, and there were no birds singing in the sky at that time.
The sage grabbed her wrist, and in the instant she turned her head, she saw the bird on the branch with its wings broken, and saw it fall silently to the ground.
Then, a pair of hands caught the bird's body.
Before she could even see Asuka's face clearly, the heavy gates of the Pure Land Palace slammed shut in the hands of the sage, and she could no longer touch the outside world, nor did she ever see Asuka again.
The newly born goddess did not know the fate of the birds, and she felt fortunate for them.
At least, it has the possibility of flying into the sky again.
But she doesn't know when she will be able to see the world with her own eyes and hear the birds singing in the sky.
However, when the little goddess learned to roam her kingdom at the end of the void, she saw the bird again.
The bird is in a cage by the window, with delicious food in front of it, but it just stares at the sky outside the window, indifferent and silent.
In the cramped cage, it could no longer spread its wings or fly into the sky.
Naturally, no one will hear its song anymore.
The little bird possessed by a deity gazed at the caged sparrow, and she saw the shape of the sky in its eyes.
Are you also a caged bird confined by constraints?
Then they missed each other; it was their last meeting.
The next day, the magpie was no longer in the cage by the window; it was sleeping peacefully under the tree in the courtyard, covered with the flowers of the Sumeru Rose.
Birds die the moment their wings are broken.
Even if it doesn't fall, the caged bird no longer has the opportunity to fly into the sky. Wings that can no longer spread are not wings, and songs that cannot be heard by the sky are meaningless.
Because it has already touched the sky.
The first friend of the gods when they were born into the world died; they shared the same fate.
The difference is that the bird never leaves its cage until the moment it disappears; it dies watching the sky and is then buried in the ground, the place furthest from the sky.
But five hundred years later, someone unlocked her shackles, and the little deity had her first chance to step out of the birdcage.
Along the way, she saw many, many things.
She watched the sunset for the first time, and then sat on the hilltop, letting the night wind, laden with dew, dampen her hair, waiting with hope for the sunrise.
It was the first time she had felt the soft grass caressing the soles of her feet; it was a little ticklish, but she felt very at ease.
Birds flew overhead once more. The sky was no longer the color it had been five hundred years ago, and she heard once again the birds singing their heartfelt songs to the sky.
You really have to see it with your own eyes to truly appreciate the beauty of the world.
A magpie landed on her shoulder, its pale yellow beak gently pecking at her fingertips, its fluffy body rubbing against her cheek.
She picked it up and sent it into the sky.
"Go fly, I'll come back to hear you sing again."
The magpie circled a few times, chirping as it flew away, and the goddess embarked once again on her first long journey.
The forest people of Huan Nalan floated and drifted to welcome her arrival, singing the tune of the Great Dream, and the flowers of dreams bloomed throughout the city of the Dream Tree.
Can I save their home?
The little goddess was a little nervous. She looked at the elves surrounding her and placed her hand on the withered tree.
The power of life ultimately prevailed over pollution, though it was only a temporary victory, and it was not without cost.
The excessive depletion of her power caused her to shrink again, but Narcida was happy.
Although it was only a temporary relief, how could she not be overjoyed?
She was no longer a god who couldn't change anything; at least, she saved her people.
She could have done very well.
The little goddess's first journey has come to an end. Although she still longs for the outside world, it is time for her to go home, where there are still unresolved problems.
Moreover, she couldn't wait to tell her first sage about everything she had seen and heard along the way.
Unfortunately, the truth and wisdom of the gods seem to have some discrepancies.
After hearing Huan Nalan's story, the little god, who was eagerly awaiting praise, was not met with the expected compliments.
"My Lord, I seem to remember reminding you that you should never act recklessly under any circumstances."
Mu Feng gently pinched Naxida's soft cheeks, scrutinizing her noticeably smaller figure with a serious gaze.
Today, one might impulsively clear away a dead zone, excessively consuming divine power; tomorrow, one might recklessly risk everything to save a certain Apep sleeping in the desert.
Such an unhealthy trend must be stopped immediately!
What? You mean what about the grass dragons in the desert?
Hmph, Ms. Appepp, if you don't want to stay in this pollution forever, then you should obediently go to Sumeru and become a henchman dragon.
After all, there is another special invention that is currently lying quietly in a laboratory in some unknown corner of the rainforest, waiting for the day it will be unveiled in the future.
"Um...I didn't..."
Nasida whimpered twice as her cheeks were pinched, trying to argue, but quickly turned her gaze away guiltily.
Lying is still too advanced for a 500-year-old child.
"Really not? How about you swear an oath to the dates and honey tonight?"
Narcida blinked her four-leaf clover eyes, intending to display some divine authority and try to find a way within the World Tree to get someone to loosen their grip, besides acting cute.
She rebuilt the glory of the gods; even the little grass goddess is no eel!
"Ugh... Amu, let go..."
But clearly, she ultimately failed.
……
Half an hour later, Nasita, carrying a large plate of date and honey candy, retaliated by stuffing it into her mouth, while secretly sizing up a certain sage behind her who was braiding his hair.
Hmph, disrespectful to the gods! She's going to get angry!
When the Grass God gets angry, the consequences are severe.
She's going to remove someone from her list of favorite sages by ten... three... never mind, one minute.
"Alright, Nasita did a great job, but next time you should prioritize your own safety."
Mu Feng smiled helplessly and gently hugged the girl in his arms a little tighter.
Do gods also get temperamental?
The little deity silently turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall of Jingshan Palace for five seconds.
Rounding it up, it's been a minute already, hasn't it?
Wisdom is the enemy of the god of wisdom.
“Then, I want to hear Amu’s story too.”
Nasita turned her head, her emerald green four-leaf eyes flashing with a hint of cunning, which gave someone a bad feeling.
Oh no, it's coming for me, this is bad.
"I want to hear the story of how Amu found two beautiful girls. Don't lie, my sage."
She doesn't hold grudges overnight, because she can get revenge on the same day. After all, she is a full-time and omnipotent goddess of wisdom.
Tonight, the gods have taken back a portion of it.
