    If I were given another chance, or even several more, to recreate it, I can't imagine how much different it would be from "In the Depths of Red". For someone who doesn't enjoy reading books and newspapers, this is already the limit of their wild imagination. When I was scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), I found that this random thought repeatedly coincided with or just missed science videos, sparking different ideas: perhaps what we are born with is not just genes, but also memories from another era that can naturally surface when we do nothing and think nothing, just based on a little bit of so-called common sense. Therefore, I forgave myself for my complete ignorance of this world and this universe, and euphemistically called my crude imagination "rustic". Undoubtedly, "Red Depths" is simply meant to convince those who fear the brevity of life, including myself and others, that birth is eternity. In those days, the earth did not tremble but Kunlun shook, the sky rained but the rivers dried up, strange phenomena occurred frequently and disasters were constant. Although the late king was frail and often ill, he resolutely led his army and people to Kunlun to offer sacrifices. At Jinghu Lake at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, pigs, cattle, horses, and sheep are thrown into the lake like rain. In an instant, the clouds dispersed and the fog lifted, and auspicious golden light shone upon all things. The late king was overjoyed and ordered the camp to be set up and spent the night by the lake. The next morning, the late king summoned me to his bedside and described the dream he had the previous night. An old man with white hair, dressed in a seven-colored scale robe, sat cross-legged on the blue waves, holding a golden short blade in his hands. Amidst the raging waves and towering clouds, a vast and continuous sound echoes across the sky—the North Sea lies hidden within the North Sea, a land of eternal life.] Barton looked at Aloi with admiration, took a deep breath after about ten seconds of contemplation, and said with his whole body tense: "Although our electronic scales are accurate to the microgram, and although there is no change in the scales of others except for this one person, this only shows that the invisible and intangible things that are bound by the body are not powerful enough and are insignificant." It cannot be refuted—there is something unseen and intangible within every living human body, or rather, each unseen and intangible thing is bound by a body! When the body decays, that thing is no longer bound and can detach from the body! In my opinion, the thing that had broken free from this person's body was extremely powerful, and it had even struggled upwards while this person was alive, to the point that the upward force of that struggle reduced the person's weight! "So," Barton let out a long sigh and adjusted his glasses, "you're right!" Those things that cannot be seen or touched do exist! The soul exists! "] A long, winding, dark green river flows from west to east, with no end in sight at either end. Shouts rose and fell, right beside my ears.

    The Four Elements are the most fundamental elements constituting this world. In the Surangama Sutra, the Buddha described in detail how the Four Elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—formed this vast universe. In this world composed of the Four Elements as energy, every life, infinitely large and infinitely small, is equally subject to the formation, existence, decay, and emptiness of the Four Elements. The novel *Vast Expanse and Misty Haze* is such a traditional fantasy novel, using the Four Elements as its energy source. *Vast Expanse* represents yang energy, while *Misty Haze* represents yin energy. One could also say that *Vast Expanse* represents divinity, and *Misty Haze* represents demonic nature. The story unfolds amidst divinity and demonic nature…love, hate, passion, and vain desires. I hope you enjoy it. It offers an alternative perspective, using the energy flow of the I Ching to interpret the circulation and changes of the Four Elements in life. It uses the integrated concepts of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism to interpret a story of mutual generation and restraint, and the relationship between gods and demons.

It is the story itself. Zhang Yuqin is searching for answers, and every “self” she finds lives in someone else's utterly different life: a fisherman's daughter, a scholar at an academy, a tear angel in a temple, a guardian known only by a number in a world without names...
