"I remember that this place used to be very beautiful. The clear water would pour down from the top of the cliff, forming two elegant arcs in the air. It would slide down from both sides of the stone statues and merge into the lake. The lake water would be as full as the moon and as clear as a dome, all the way into the distance.
It stretches and narrows, and finally becomes a river flowing into the land of Shurima."
Looking at the stone statue, Zuo Lanni fell into memories. In her memory, Zuo Lan was still a beautiful scene, but the reality was already different.
"This was once a paradise, a library, a garden, a clear lake..."
Zuo Lanni obviously knows this place very well, so some of the legends are not unreasonable. At least this place was really involved.
"It will recover again."
Reed's body levitated, and as he spoke his words, waves of ripples began to vibrate all over his body. The terrifying breath of life escaped around him, and then quickly dispersed around him.
"This is......"
As a former healer, Zuolani was no stranger to life magic, but the power Reed unleashed was simply jaw-dropping.
Zuo Lanni even felt that her body was coming to life at this time. The breath of life was so strong.
Then, Zuo Lanni saw that Zuo Lan's dry lake began to fill up again, and the cultivated land and pastures that were swallowed up by the yellow sand regained the upper hand. The greenery drove away the yellow sand and became the color of Zuo Lan again.
.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain. With the rain pouring down, in the blink of an eye, Zuolan, which was just a small desert village, was surrounded by greenery, the lake was filled again, and the waterfall on the cliff began to flow again.
"It's amazing..."
Even the "Ascended Ones" must be in awe when they see this scene. Compared with Reed, what kind of "gods" are they?
"How about it, are you satisfied with Zuo Lan like this?"
Falling back to the ground, Reed smiled and said, "This is a gift, a small gift for joining his plan."
"Thank you, this reminds me of many things from the past."
Zuolani politely thanked her. Her humanity was consolidating little by little. The shadows of the "Void War" and "Darkspawn War" were gradually fading away, and the glory of the past began to prevail.
"Easy to do."
Reed accepted the courtesy calmly, without any embarrassment.
In fact, he knew that the one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with dark descendants was indeed a bit too ruthless, and Mai Yinsha also knew that at the beginning.
Among the dark descendants, some are actually not that bad, such as Ugg, Zolani, and Ta'anari. However, most of the dark descendants are already bad, even these ones who were not so bad at the beginning
, it was inevitable that he would do some wrong things later on, so it would be no problem to be sealed.
"What happened? How could this happen?!"
In Zuolan's small village, the masons seemed to be dreaming. The entire Zuolan had changed before their eyes, from a small village that could disappear at any time to the huge desert oasis it is today.
"Zo Lanni! The goddess has sent a miracle! She has seen our efforts!"
There was no explanation for this kind of thing except "miraculous". The stonemasons were overjoyed and worshiped Zuolani's stone statue one after another. That was their belief.
"But... haven't we finished carving it yet? The goddess's face hasn't been carved out yet, how could it be..."
Some masons couldn't help but raise questions. According to their legend, all this would indeed happen, but that would only happen after they had completely carved the statue of the goddess.
"Maybe the goddess is already satisfied? Maybe the goddess doesn't want us to carve a random face for her?"
Some people whispered that they had doubts, but no one doubted that this was caused by other reasons. They believed that this was a "miracle" because they had all seen this scene, and it was already in a picture passed down by an elder stonemason.
This is what Zuo Lan looked like before in the severely faded scroll.
"Noria! What should we do? Should we continue to wither?"
Several elder masons and the master all looked at a woman. She was the big mason, the person in charge of carving.
The great mason Noria's face was a little confused. She looked at the people around her, including Elder Bo Lai, Master Wulantuo, and Master Regoma. Everyone was waiting for her answer.
"I...I don't know."
Noria, who had been carving for half his life, lost his goal for the first time. Every Zuolan man is a stonemason. No matter how far they go, they will eventually come back here to start their carving career.
This tradition and belief has been passed down from generation to generation, until now, they finally saw the dawn of completion. However, fate seemed to have played a joke on them, and all their fantasies became reality in advance, before they could complete the statue.
A group of masons left the village and came to the statue. They lived very close to the statue, only a few hundred meters away.
But the few hundred meters they walked every day felt like they had walked through a vicissitudes of life. They only felt that the things around them were extremely strange.
"Goddess...is that you?"
A group of masons knelt before the statue and began to pray. They were extremely pious and eager to receive an answer.
"well......"
A sigh sounded, drifting in the wind, and lingered for a long time. This made the masons raise their heads excitedly. They were confirming that the sound just now was not a prank by some of their companions.
After confirming, everyone became excited, trembling all over, and began to pray more seriously and devoutly.
Unfortunately, there was no sound again, as if the sigh was just an illusion, an illusion they had together.
"Aren't you going to say anything more?"
On top of the statue, Reed asked Zuolani, these mason believers don't even know enough about her story, but they still believe in her so devoutly, shouldn't this be encouraged?
"I can't give them a response. God is just a forgery. Who are we gods?"
Zuo Lanni shook her head, time had allowed her to recognize herself clearly, and the "gods" were just the gold they gave her.
Especially after seeing Reed's power, how could Zuolani have the nerve to talk about what kind of "god" she was, and these "miracles" were not created by her.
"Indeed, in the final analysis, you are just people who have obtained a little bit of God's power."
Reed nodded. This was honestly a bit unpleasant to hear, but it was just right for Zuo Lanni with her current mentality, because Zuo Lanni had almost the same idea at this time.
"Let's go and let them live their own lives. If this statue can give them some sense of security, then let them worship it."
Zuo Lanni has no nostalgia, she knows that these people do not believe in her, they just want a sense of security.
And that sense of security, there is no point in praying, it must be obtained through the next war, and she will try her best.
