Two huge black pigs galloped through the desert, kicking up clouds of dust and sand.
An Lin fell into deep thought after recovering from his astonishment.
Just what had happened in the past year?
"Little Na, have you been living in that pile of rubble all this time?" An Lin couldn't help but ask.
Tina thought for a moment before replying, "Sometimes I live in that pile of rubble, and sometimes I just sleep in a sand dune."
An Lin: "???"
"You don't even live in a house? You don't even want a bed?!" An Lin was astonished.
"Why would I want a bed in a house?" Tina pointed at the boundless desert with a perplexed expression. "This entire ground can be my bed. Other animals don't dare to come near me anyway, so I can just find a place to lie down."
An Lin's mouth gaped open, but he was at a loss for words. He suddenly understood why Tina had dumped him in the desert. So in the eyes of this fairy, the desert could be used as a bed?
The mighty Goddess of Creation had actually fallen to the point where she had to sleep in the wilderness?
"It's just that the wind is very strong sometimes, and when I wake up, my entire body will be covered in sand. That's a little troublesome," Tina added.
An Lin's heart jolted upon hearing this.
Holy Mother of God, that's a little troublesome?
Tina's brain was damaged!
An Lin's heart ached at the sight of Tina's deranged state, but he was also at a loss for what to do.
An Lin knew that he couldn't rush this. He had to find out what had caused Tina to become like this, then try to help her recover.
The two of them continued to gallop through the desert.
Tina seemed to really enjoy riding pigs. Sometimes, she would even stand on the backs of the pigs and look up at the spectacular sight of the red sun disappearing into the horizon.
A Goddess of Creation riding a pig, and she seemed to be enjoying herself. She reminded An Lin of the wild children she had played with when she was little. Sigh …
"Little Na, I still don't understand why you chose to live in a desert instead of a place with beautiful scenery," An Lin continued.
"Beautiful scenery?" Tina cocked her head to the side. "Is there a place with beautiful scenery in this world?"
An Lin was astonished again. "How could there not be? The Divine Mirror World is huge! "
"There really isn't," Tina replied earnestly. "It's all desert."
An Lin once again used the power within his body and released his Divine Sense.
This time, he did not pay attention to the details and only paid attention to the range. His divine sense quickly spread out for thousands of kilometers, and it turned out that it really was a huge desert.
An Lin was unwilling to give up. He continued to expand his divine sense, reaching ten thousand li.
In the end, he observed a desert that spanned tens of thousands of miles.
He crazily expanded his divine sense. One hundred thousand miles, one million miles, several million miles …
If this were in the past, he would've explored the entire Divine Mirror World a long time ago. However, he still couldn't see the end of it.
None of that mattered anymore.
More importantly, when An Lin used his divine sense to its limit, all he saw was a desert, a desert!
Even the largest desert on the Tai Chu Continent was less than a tenth of the size of the desert in the Divine Mirror World. This meant that what Tina had said was very likely true.
"How did it become like this?" An Lin's expression was a little dazed. Where had the Divine Mirror World in his mind, which was filled with countless tribes, vibrant with vitality, and innumerable natural wonders gone?
Right at this moment, two black boars carried An Lin and Tina to a certain place.
This was an extremely massive city that had been obscured by a sandstorm. An Lin could see all types of roofs, as well as tall towers. As for the lower half of the buildings and the ground of the city, they had already been buried underground by the boundless sandstorm.
That's right, this was a city that had been obscured by a sandstorm.
An Lin and Tina dismounted from the wild boar and walked into the city.
This city was extremely massive, spanning over fifty kilometers in length.
However, in contrast to its grandeur, this place was extremely desolate.
Desolate, this was far too desolate!
There was nothing here. All they could see was desolation and decay.
An Lin made his way toward a tall tower that had not been buried by the sandstorm, and he could see some signs of life within it. He saw some special beings, and he could tell from their silhouettes that they were members of the Light Wing Clan.
There were several hundred Light Wing Clan members on the tall tower, and all of them seemed to have been petrified. Their bodies were made up of a tough and decayed substance, and their wings were snapped off. They looked up at the sky with despair and confusion on their faces, and their vitality had been completely severed.
All of the Light Wing Clan members were clustered together, either praying or shedding tears toward the sky. Their bodies had been corroded by a strange power, and they had been petrified.
This was a scene of sorrow and despair, but it also seemed to be an extremely ancient scene.
This made An Lin feel extremely uneasy.
"Is this the apocalypse? What has happened to the Divine Mirror World? Why has it changed so much in the short span of a year … "An Lin murmured to himself.
Tina's innocent smile gradually disappeared as an indescribable sense of sorrow welled up in her heart.
She was a little perplexed upon hearing An Lin's words.
"What short span of a year? It had clearly been a very, very long time. If the sun rose and set as one day, then how many years had it been since Little Na had been here? A hundred years? Ten thousand years? A hundred thousand years? Or a million years?
"It's been far, far too long. Little Na doesn't even know how much time has passed … Ever since Little Na can remember, everything has been like this …"
Tina spoke in a soft voice, as if she were recounting something that had happened a long, long time ago.
"This place has always been like this. The desert, the sun, the gale-force winds, and the sandstorm. I've walked from one end of the world to the other, but I haven't found a single living being that I can speak to. All I've seen are ordinary desert creatures.
"I've been blown away by the wind and scorched by the sun. When I'm bored, I'll go hunting and find food. After that, I'll make a few silly friends. Day after day, year after year, and there's no end in sight …
"I've actually become numb to this for a very long time. I've become numb to the endless repetition of this life. I thought this was what it meant to be alive …"
She clasped a hand over her heart and lowered her head. "Giant An Lin, did you know? I was ecstatic when I suddenly discovered that my bloodline was reacting to someone else's.
"At that time, I suddenly discovered that I wasn't alone. I was in another world, and there were other people that I was connected to …"
An Lin looked at the elven woman beside him. She didn't seem to want An Lin to see her feeble and disheveled state, so she lowered her head. However, translucent tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes, but they instantly disappeared as soon as they fell to the ground.
Even though he had countless questions, An Lin wasn't going to pry any further. He merely pulled the elven woman into his arms and held her tightly.
"Little Na, it's alright now."
"I'm here now, aren't I? I'll always be with you. You won't be bored anymore …" An Lin consoled her in a gentle voice.
He could sense the elven woman's loneliness and unease.
Who could live in such an environment forever?
Tina's body wasn't the only thing that was being tortured!
An Lin felt as if his heart were being squeezed by something.
