    Wearing the mask, I am invincible; removing the mask, I am a weakling. The eternally immortal dragon has left only a decaying corpse; the phoenix, fearless of death, is reduced to tattered feathers; the auspicious qilin, surrounded by good fortune, could not foresee its demise; the Xuanwu, condensing all paths, had its shell stripped away by humankind; the graveyard of gods remains, witnessing the ruins of Yin for millennia, the changing seasons, who dares claim immortality… The flow of time carries on the events of a thousand years, time washes away countless generations. The river of time flows on, never to return, burying countless heroic and tragic songs. One day, someone had a sudden inspiration, stepping into the river and drifting downstream, wanting to see what the future held. After a long time, he finally met a boy fishing on the riverbank. He then asked the boy: What is an immortal? What is the Dao? What is immortality? The boy's eyes were empty, and he shook his head, answering: I don't know! The man asked again: Cultivation! Is it cultivating the heart? Or the strength? The boy scratched his head, giving an awkward smile: "I don't know~" He asked three times: "What year is it today?" His eyes lit up with excitement, and he recited with great familiarity: "It doesn't matter what year it is, I only pray that all living beings in future generations will live forever!" The man was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You know everything, you understand everything! I worried for nothing, came all this way for nothing. Well, future generations are truly interesting, very interesting indeed!" With that, the man vanished without a trace. Only the boy sighed softly, gazing at the screen: "Fellow participants, would you like to hear our story?"
