“A hundred years have passed. In the end, it was all a joke. I never had my parents’ love or my friends’ friendship. Why should I…”
“You are a god. You must protect this land.”
“I’m not. I can’t bear that responsibility. I’m afraid of pain, and I cry and laugh too. I don’t want to become a god without the seven emotions and six desires. I just want to be an ordinary person, someone with family and friends.”
…
“But you are not an ordinary person, no matter what.”
“That’s right. I’m still a god, destined to be lonely all my life.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I have one request…”
“What is it?”
“Can I… turn around and look back? The abyss is too cold.”
“…No. The countless lights behind you are not where you belong. Your place is ahead, in that abyss with no end in sight.”
“…I understand.”
“Once you leave, there’s no coming back. Are you really ready?”
“If what you say is true, and the countless lights behind me, the Huaxia behind me, are as beautiful as that, then I’ll go and never return.”
