Chapter 51: Another Girl Chasing the Light (Part 2)
"Isn't it extraordinary and special, especially in such a backward and ignorant world, to have a person stand out like a crane among chickens?" The mature elder sister-like blonde Angel introduced Tilan to Celestia while holding the information in her hands.
"But what is more surprising is her subsequent actions."
"She did not simply replace the Wolf Blood Queen to become the new ruler of the prairies, but instead started constructing a relatively rough yet unexpectedly practical order structure. According to our supercomputer simulations, if such a model evolves for a hundred years, a prairie nation will gradually take shape, and they will begin to conquer and spread onto surrounding lands with their shared culture."
"If this were all there was, we could still understand, since after all, no matter how ignorant the species on Earth are, it's not unreasonable for there to be a few extraordinary geniuses in a thousand years. But what happened afterward really exceeded our expectations."
Then the screen turned to the eastern prairies, where orderly fields and lines of crops lay across the land, swaying in the breeze and radiating ripples that extended into the distance. Even without being there personally, one could feel the beauty of abundance exuding from the screen.
"These crop planters and the busy crowds are the people you are more familiar with at the Heshan Rescue Association; however, they are no longer huddling in the mountain fortresses."
"Half a year ago, the awakening of the Insect Swarm led to the fall of their fortress, and these people had to gather forces and move westward. The result was that they were caught up by the flying Insect Swarm on the road, nearly leaving them on the brink of extinction."
"Originally, we all considered whether to intervene to prevent the extinction of the Heshan Rescue Association, as they are an important observation target for us. Fortunately, the appearance of that girl directly solved the area-wide crisis caused by the Insect Swarm, making the Heshan Rescue Association belong to her and become her subjects."
"This is a rising legend. If we do not obstruct it, it is foreseeable that she will gradually unify this region in the coming decades, constructing a complete and healthy civilized nation."
"That should be good, right? Because we lack history, it's just perfect to observe her experiences and make up for this aspect of deficiency." Celestia stared at the screen where the girl's face was blurry, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation for the girl she had yet to meet.
"Indeed, she has brought us many surprises, knowing before we have also indirectly transmitted some knowledge to people on Earth to accelerate their evolution. For example, the Butterfly Species on the prairie, though the effect was mostly not good."
"Even with advanced knowledge and personal strength, the 'Favored' we carefully cultivated often deviated due to various accidents or personal issues, failing to establish the unique and different civilizations and countries we anticipated."
"Everyone gradually believes that the birth of advanced civilizations and cultures is actually a very accidental thing. It is closely related to the local ecological environment and historical past; even if a couple of geniuses mix in, they often vanish like splashes of water in an instant."
"Sometimes, overly advanced concepts may not take root locally and are difficult to accept there."
"This has always been a place of distress and trouble for us." After saying this, she slightly shook her head and continued telling Celestia.
"Before entering eternal sleep, Xi Aiflian Dominion used his last strength to move this planet to let us avoid disputes among various Holy Suns, using time and experience to make up for our defects and become a Perfect species."
"Unfortunately, we disappointed Xi Aiflian Dominion. After a thousand years, members couldn't gather all thoughts and beliefs, giving birth to a new Sun."
"Perhaps it's because of lacking history and experience, we began to observe and record the development experiences of other species, gradually benefiting a lot from them."
"Just like those ancient Wise Men among humans said, those beautiful virtues indeed make species gradually develop and grow, such as sincerity, justice, tenacity, trust, etc."
"Now, we also begin to accept the wisdom accumulated by history and time, making it become a part of us gradually, believing as time goes on, one day we will ultimately become a flawless species and civilization, and sail like signal birds flying toward this Milky Way."
"This emerging genius is particularly special. I think merely sitting in the sky observing is hard to truly understand her full appearance, her experiences, and changes she brings, so—"
"Celestia, are you willing to descend to the filthy surface, dance with those barbaric lives, come close to flashes in the mud, record everything about her, and bring it back to relay to everyone?"
The blonde woman seemed as if she bathed in light and wind, watching the girl walking out from the library before her.
"I am willing, even if my wings are stained with dust and blood for it." The girl before her solemnly bowed, pressing a hand over her chest to swear.
"Very good, you are one of the rare geniuses in our 'Silver Bird Court,' everyone also likes your cleverness and nobility, believing sending you is the best choice."
"Now embark with everyone's blessing, this may be a long journey spanning decades."
...
A Silver Star slowly rose in the night sky, a Silver Star slowly fell from the sky, what kind of intertwined fate might their meeting generate?
——————
At the end of June, the hot dry wind blew, the continuous rains that once covered the prairies dissipated, leaving only some shallow lakes on the ground.
The formerly barren wilderness is now covered with heavy golden wheat ears, this vast golden wheat field spanning thousands of meters, rising waves in the summer breeze, everyone standing on this golden hill feels a myriad of emotions, wherever their eyes behold is a scene that fills them with joy.
"Hahaha~" Children ran wildly amidst the fields, some burrowed into the wheat fields to play hide and seek, occasionally running out again to frolic and chase with companions, from afar in the blue sky, scattered Flying Birds also swooped down, white wings sweeping over the wheat fields, picking at and lifting fallen wheat ears.
Holding a white sun umbrella, Tilan stood on the hillside, gazing at the world below, her mood lifted exhilarantly along with the winds of the wilderness.
She rarely had such an impulse to sing in the wind, softly chant this beautiful world, everything hopeful rising slowly.
The once internal exhausted and entangled heart now like a completely unfurled vine flower trellis, allowing the sun and breeze from the outside world to pass through, no longer curling up in narrow rooms, walking on this hillside, those childhood and past pains and shadows seemed partly ironed away by a warm iron.
On the surface, it was her saving these weary people in distress, but internally, this experience also let her gradually shed the past, truly accepting this world.
Indeed, this world still contains intolerable darkness, but undeniably, it also offers everything hopeful and beautiful.
She really likes this kind of world, even though this world once left her disheartened, she now felt its beautiful warm side and is willing to pass on this warmth.
The anxious heart found true tranquility.
...
Weeks later, the harvested wheat field still retained many straw and grains, scattered stubble got sun-dried becoming slightly prickly underfoot, yet this did not stop people from traversing through, everyone gathered here in the harvested wheat field, stacking straw to ignite bonfires, preparing and creating various delicious foods, guests and travelers from afar were also invited to linger here.
Months ago, it was merely a camp of more than 1600 people, now has grown to 2000 people, visibly, more people will continuously join in, they pursue a common name and faith, Troubadours holding instruments, humming ballads narrate the rules and creeds set by that girl, making wanderers of the wild yearn.
They choose to stay because this is precisely the place they had longed for.
Among these traveling wanderers, a youthful figure also took off the concealing hood, revealing beautiful amber eyes, her appearance left the Troubadour before her astonished.
"Are you also prepared to join us, listen to Lady Hexia's song and will?"
"Yes, I have come precisely for this."
"Your name is?"
"Celestia, meaning the pursuit of the light of wisdom." She replied amidst the light and wind of the wilderness.
