I've witnessed so many lights...

So many colors...

And so many emotions.

Everything that I had to witness drew my gaze away from the rest of the world.

So, my world is nothing but a meaningless mess of confusing, patternless, and incongruent colors.

Sometimes I'd wonder...

... what kind world reflects in the eyes of others.

Just what kind of world do they live in, that they become so attached to these little, insignificant splotches in a myriad of colors?

Why concern yourself with the way mayflies live?

Their concern is only for what lies immediately before them; they are myopic, unable to see far enough to achieve anything of significance.

Do you believe that Hongyuan could have risen to its present reputation and prosperity had it not been for the revered Xianren?

The other Nests would have destroyed and devoured us whole.

Hong Lu...

I know that not everything in your world was colorful. But...

You must've felt something.

Something that made you feel, like... a heart.

Do you believe so?

But it slipped away from me so, so long ago.

And this place is too vast to find anything once lost.

<That's not true.>

<I'm sure you'll find it again. As long you put your mind to it.>

<As long as your heart is truly in it.>

Little Baoyu. Do not let these empty words stir you.

What could a frivolous thing like your puerile heart possibly do... before the great will of Hongyuan...?

Oh... Oh, revered Xianren of my heart... do you also believe that to be true...?

You understand...! You acknowledge and appreciate my life, all that time I've sacrificed for Hongyuan...!

Hahahahahaha! The revered Xianren of my heart speaks!

That I, following in the great will of Daguanyuan... shall be reborn...!

... Reborn as a mighty, noble, and... immortal being!
