Shen Zhiyun died a hundred years ago, at her most brilliant age.
A hundred years later, she woke up from her mortal body and found that the entire world was living in her "memory".
The storyteller in the teahouse told the story of the "Qingyu Immortal Lord" who sacrificed his life for righteousness, protected the common people with one sword, and shone brightly throughout the ages.
The ancient books of the Immortal Alliance neatly record the year and place where she died for the common people.
Her name has become a symbol, a benchmark, and an incomparably correct story used to teach future generations.
Only the five people who had been with her still remembered something "incorrect".
Her Taoist companion Ji Muci remembers that when she accidentally burned off the beard of the elder of the Discipline Department with the newly researched explosive talisman paper posted everywhere, she looked like she had done something wrong but could not hold back her laughter.
Senior Brother Qing Shuyuan, I remember that when she messed up the formation and came to ask for help in disgrace, she looked so arrogant and unreasonable.
The second senior sister, Feng Tunan, remembers that they secretly drank strong liquor together, and when drunk they swore to the moon that they would become "famous all over the world".
The third senior brother, Xie Zhixun, remembers the hilarious laughter she made without the image of an immortal when she saw him being chased by a mythical beast in a secret realm. His hair got stuck in the branches because he ran too fast and was used as a nest by birds.
The fourth senior brother, Yue Qing Shang, remembers that she always complained that the soothing music he played was too cool and insisted that he change it to a "livelier" tune.
They remembered everything about her, but tacitly refused to remember the weight of her "being a hero".
It seems that as long as they still remember her "young" appearance, the real Shen Zhiyun has never really left.
As a result, they lived like what she "should" be - the calm leader, the holder of iron laws, the spear of revenge, the seeker of truth, and the night watchman of darkness.
Perfect, powerful, and pale.
Until the evil spirit spreads again and shadows cover the world.
When everyone once again chanted the holy name of "Qingyu Immortal Lord" and prayed for a miracle to come——
The bright-eyed "young man" whom they had hidden deepest in their memories walked up to them with a sallow, ordinary face and a rusty hatchet.
She looked at the shock and despair in their eyes that could annihilate the stars. She tilted her head and smiled, her expression the same as a hundred years ago.
"Hello."
"I said..."
"The fight we didn't finish, the bottle of wine we didn't finish, and the secret realm we didn't finish."
"Would you like to continue?"
Intention: The world is everlasting and vast, but what makes the world everlasting is the heart of a young man who dares to brave the long night.
