1322. In the beginning of Hongmeng, the days are short and the nights are long
At that time, when she opened her eyes, she saw the fiery sun above her head, the steady mountains, the gurgling water, and the fairy-like flowers, plants and trees.
Everything in the world is so new to her.
Everyone is looking forward to her arrival, looking forward to their so-called consciousness, so-called soul, finding a home in this world where there is nowhere to rest.
Then, after the ancient gods deliberated, they finally placed the underworld permanently underground.
When people die, they return to the earth, and the underground is the best destination.
Therefore, after having only seen the light once, Pluto was sent to Hades as soon as he was born.
Because it is a product shaped by the God of Faith, apart from the scene that Wen Ranran saw when she opened her eyes, the only thing that has been accompanying her for thousands of years since then is the endless darkness.
The so-called underworld is an independent space born out of any world.
There is no sunshine, no river, no towering mountain peaks, no clear wind, no white clouds, no bright and picturesque moon.
Just like the beginning of the Hongmeng, everything is returning to nothingness.
Mingyan grew up in such an environment.
Accompanying her are only the souls that are thrust into the underworld countless times every day.
For tens of thousands of years, Ming Yan's favorite thing to do was listen to stories.
Some of those people were a peach blossom tree in a mountain valley, and some were little human rabbits. Almost all the plants, trees, and monsters in the world liked to visit her.
However, it seems that they won't be able to wander for long before they disappear into the endless end with the darkness.
Later, she learned that this is called reincarnation.
Everyone has reincarnation and the possibility of a so-called beginning.
But she was the only one who didn't.
The accident still happened in the darkness. At that time, Wen Ranran heard a story.
The story of a human scholar who fell in love with a girl.
He was an ordinary scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, but in the end, he became a failure in the officialdom and was unable to return to his hometown.
The days are short and the nights are long, and the road is long and the horse is dead.
His beloved girl has been waiting for her all her life, but she has not waited for a result.
"I like her. May I ask, girl, if I can see her again?"
The scholar looked at her with a look that was even a little eager.
Wen Ranran nodded in confusion, then shook her head in confusion.
"Unless you want to stay here with me forever!"
The scholar nodded eagerly, and finally signed an unfair agreement with her under her innocent eyes, and stayed with her underground forever.
Many years later, the scholar who had become a judge looked at her angrily, pointed at her nose and called her a liar and a monster.
He can only see his beloved girl once every hundred years, but the girl no longer knows him. He becomes a monster in the dark underworld and can never live in the sun.
"Ming Yan! You liar!"
"You are a monster! A monster without emotions!"
But, she doesn't understand.
What is a monster? She didn't lie to anyone, she just helped that person fulfill her wish.
Until later, the scholar finally accepted the reality and had no choice but to help her take care of the underworld.
The underworld gradually became more lively with the presence of other people.
Countless stories would appear here every moment of every day. With the help of the scholar, the underworld finally became more formal.
Countless people play out their joys and sorrows here, and then walk towards the endless darkness to start their new life, for reincarnation.
This situation lasted until she was five thousand years old.
At that time, an uninvited guest finally came to the underworld.
The man was dressed in white and had the warm aura of the sun and moon shining on him. He had an aura that had never been seen in a gloomy place like the underworld.
That is the warmth and romance that only those who grow up under the light have.
He said that his name was Zigai and he was the Emperor of Heaven.
