Because only the sun can comprehend the Eternal Dao.

Fan Wubing could no longer sense the Three-legged Golden Crow’s aura within her.

This meant that the Three-legged Golden Crow had completely transformed into her heart, guiding her to glimpse eternity.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Fu Manman felt a bit uncomfortable under Fan Wubing’s gaze.

Fan Wubing smiled, "Because you look beautiful."

"Come on. Your words don’t work on me anymore." Fu Manman’s eyes revealed an ancient meaning, "Haven’t you seen enough after these countless years?"

Fan Wubing hadn’t seen Man’Er in a long time, and just one look at her melted his heart. He leaned over and buried his head on her shoulder, sniffing her scent, "I want to look for a lifetime."

"Are you acting cute towards me?" Fu Manman squinted and asked.

"Yes."

"Why are you becoming more and more like a child?" Fu Manman said softly, with a face full of affection. She found it strange, wasn’t it supposed to be me acting cute towards you? How did the roles reverse? You’re so big, leaning on my shoulder like this, what’s that about?

"Wow, is this what it’s like to be a couple..." Bai Yihuan curiously watched from the side.

Fan Wubing suddenly remembered that someone else was there, quickly straightened up, and put on a usual expression to ask:

"Man’Er, have you gained some understanding of ’Eternal Life’?"

Fu Manman started walking among the treetops. She increasingly gave off an aura of sacredness that brooked no offense.

"After entering the Da Chun Profound Realm, I had a dream. In that dream world, there were no Cultivators. At first, I didn’t realize it was a dream, and instead thought my real memories were the dream. So I began to travel across mountains and rivers, seeking immortality and asking the Dao in every large mountain, longing for eternal life. But until the moment of death, I saw no trace of immortals. Then, the second dream began, and I immediately realized this was false, this was a dream."

"But you didn’t wake up."

Fu Manman nodded, "Because I still wanted to solve the ’Eternal Life’ puzzle. However, I realized Yihuan might also be trapped in a dream, so I used the ’sun’ to wake her up. As for that silver snake, that was something I didn’t expect."

"You used the ’sun,’ so the silver snake emerged from the river of time to find you."

"That’s probably the case." Fu Manman sighed long, "Having witnessed countless years, even personally felt eternity, how could I still covet eternal life? Eternal life is just a dreamy illusion for me. I just keep moving forward."

"That’s just like what Celestial Venerable Youxuan said." Fan Wubing smiled, "Man’Er, you have gained insight."

Fu Manman glanced at him slightly... She accurately noticed his gaze change when mentioning Celestial Venerable Youxuan. However, she did not ask more.

Bai Yihuan said cheerfully, "See, I told you, there’s no need to think about eternal life at all."

Fu Manman said helplessly, "You are right." This is not to say Bai Yihuan doesn’t use her brain, but rather, she is a person whose original intention remains the same, with only ’fight! fight!’ in her mind from the start.

"Next is to head to Mount Daiyu." Fan Wubing said.

Fu Manman asked, "Do you know where Mount Daiyu is?"

Fan Wubing’s eyes were burning as he recalled seeing that huge fish in the ancient deep sea, and the large tree growing on the fish’s head.

Mount Daiyu, Mount Daiyu, big fish, big fish.

Fan Wubing sensed a Great Dao slowly flowing through his "Wudao"—the Life Dao.

This was a Dao he comprehended after witnessing countless life forms’ birth, multiplication, and inheritance through billions of years.

One of the Nine Supreme Innate Dao.

He closed his eyes, touching this Dao, and instantly... all life in the world was within his feeling.

Not just this Sea of Eternal Life, but the whole world!

Except for those with special methods, without exception, even a cicada buried deep in the soil could be felt.

In his mind, the world was like deep space, and the life lights of living beings were the stars within.

Every moment, countless stars diminished, and countless new ones were born.

Among them, some were dazzling like the sun, some faint like fireflies.

They together constitute all creatures of the world.

What shocked Fan Wubing was that he could actually add some brightness to any "star" within this "life starry sky." Even if it were on the other side of the world, he still could. However, it required him to give a part of his own vitality.

He thought about it and tried to add some fire to a "star" about to go out.

...

Taiyin Continent, Qiming Land.

In a small town in a small frontier country called "He Liang."

The sons and daughters of the Xu Family knelt by the bedside.

Lying on the bed was an old man in the final moments of life. The old man’s face was emaciated, eyes slightly squinting, the gray in his pupils growing more intense. The doctor watching from the side sighed in lament at such a sight, shaking his head silently.

The children and grandchildren by the bed saw this and immediately showed sadness, and some who were emotionally sensitive had already begun to cry. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Sob sob..."

A man cried loudly, "Father... which beast is it, that won’t even spare an old person."

Three days ago, the old father got into an argument while watering the garden. When the family rushed over at the sound, the old father was already lying in a pool of blood, and the arguer was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, the old father on the bed spoke, "San’er, San’er."

The crying man asked, "What is it, father?"

"I’m hungry, go cook me something."

"Okay, father. San’er will go immediately. Father... oh, my poor father..."

The man was crying out loud as he got up to cook something, but when he reached the door, he was suddenly rigid with shock, turned his head, and saw his old father actually sitting up with a face full of rosy color.

He trembled in surprise, "Father, how!"

The doctor next to him was too shocked to speak... a flashback of life? No, that’s not right! The old man’s vitality was extremely rich, far from death!

Other children and grandchildren were excitedly crowding up.

"Father, this... this..."

The old man’s eyes were glowing, and he smiled:

"I, I dreamed of an immortal."
