There was a rumor that had been circulating for a very long time in the world of Berserkers. It was said that this rumor had been left behind during the era of the first God of Berserkers.
This legend spoke of a butterfly called Harmonious Morus Alba in the distant south in the ancient past, before the land of the Berserkers was divided into five parts. This butterfly was not big, and it was only the size of a human hand. It possessed all the colors in the world, and each of them was different.
She flew in the sky, but no one could see her, because the world that belonged to her was above the nine heavens filled with whirlwinds.
The rumor said that even though she was a butterfly and had beautiful wings, she could only flap her wings three times in her life. Besides these three times, she danced in the wind.
The first time she flapped her wings was when she was born on the ground and flew above the nine heavens.
The second time she flapped her wings was when she was at the peak of her life. When she flapped her wings, she danced in a dazzling manner to search for her companions, but most of the time, she could not find them.
The last time she flapped her wings was when she reached the end of her life. To leave behind a mark, she used all her strength. At the instant she flapped her wings, her body would turn into sparks of light, and like seeds, they would scatter on the ground with the wind. These seeds could turn into cocoons, but only one of them could become a butterfly.
This rumor spoke of the series of legends brought about by the three times Harmonious Morus Alba flapped her wings. It was said that when she flapped her wings for the first time, she would cause a change that could cause mountains to crumble and the earth to crack in the east.
When she flapped her wings for the second time, swarms of gray-eyed corpses would appear in the west.
When she flapped her wings for the third time, the snow in the north would be covered in darkness that would last for decades.
This was a legend.
Su Ming had never heard of this legend before, but Bai Su had.
On one night, the unconscious Bai Su woke up from her dream. She stared at the unfamiliar world in a daze. She stood alone with a lost expression on her face.
She knew that she was dreaming. She knew that everything she saw was an illusion and did not exist.
However, she couldn't truly wake up from this dream and make it disappear.
From what she could see, there was snow on the ground, and the sky was dark, with snowflakes drifting down. The surroundings were very quiet, and from afar, there was only a mountain range in one direction. The other directions were all plains.
In the place where the mountain range was, there was a blurry mountain that was covered by the wind and snow. She vaguely felt that she had seen this mountain before. It was a mountain that towered into the clouds, like a person's five fingers reaching out from the earth to grab the sky!
"Where … is this place …" Bai Su murmured, her eyes even more confused.
In that state of confusion, she slowly walked forward. The snow path under her feet seemed to contain the passage of time, causing her to feel as if she had passed through four seasons with every step she took. As she walked and walked, she arrived at a forest. She did not know how long she had been walking in the forest, but suddenly, she heard a clamor of voices by her ears.
The voice came from afar, causing Bai Su to stop in her tracks. She subconsciously walked towards the source of the voice.
Gradually, she passed through the forest and saw a sight …
It was a land without any forest. There were a lot of tents on it, and there were also a lot of powerful Berserkers patrolling the area with aloof gazes. There were quite a number of people walking back and forth between the tents. This was a small-scale market of a tribe.
There were plenty of places like this in the Land of South Morning, and it was convenient for small tribes to trade with each other.
Bai Su looked at the unfamiliar faces. The noise that traveled into her ears was very real, but she could see these people, but they could not see her. One of the patrolling Berserkers even passed through Bai Su's body and walked past her.
'This place is …' Bai Su became even more confused.
Yet the moment she was lost, she suddenly shuddered. She saw two people charging towards her from the forest not too far away.
One of the two people was very strong and had a simple and honest look on his face. The person beside him was also a teenager, but he was very thin and weak. He had delicate features, and there was a clear light in his eyes.
He wore a beast skin robe and there was still a youthful look on his face, but the moment Bai Su saw the teenager, her heart trembled.
'Su … Su Ming!' Bai Su's breathing quickened. She did not expect that she would dream of Su Ming!
The Su Ming in her eyes was still a youthful teenager. That thin and weak look was similar to the Su Ming in Bai Su's memories, but there were many other things that were completely different.
Yet at that moment, a delicate voice called out to her.
"Lei Chen!"
Bai Su instinctively looked towards the direction of the voice. When she saw the girl who spoke, a bang went off in Bai Su's head. She saw a girl dressed in a mink fur robe. Her long hair was tied up with a red straw rope, and there were small braids hanging down her shoulders. There were a few bright spots on her forehead, and there was anger in her eyes. She frowned as she looked at Su Ming's companion.
Her appearance made Bai Su fall into a daze.
It was a girl who looked exactly like her.
The scene froze in Bai Su's eyes and gradually disappeared. She opened her eyes swiftly and a large amount of sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked around and saw that she was in her cave abode.
It was very quiet outside. Not a single sound could be heard.
Bai Su stared ahead blankly. There was no focus in her eyes. The scene from her dream remained in her head.
After a long while, Bai Su put on a robe and pushed open the door to her cave abode. The sky was dark and there was a cold breeze blowing in, causing Bai Su to feel slightly cold.
She stood outside her cave abode and looked at the dark sky. Under the moonlight, her gaze eventually fell on the ninth summit. As she looked at it, confusion and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
"Why did I have this dream..? Was everything in that dream real or fake..?" Bai Su mumbled.
It was also on this night that Su Ming continued copying the Golden Roc. At some point in time, his finger froze, and a dream-like scene appeared in his head.
In that scene was a world covered in snow and wind. The wind was strong and snow danced in the air, blocking his vision. He could not see too far into the distance. He saw a girl about seven or eight years old crying as she ran forward.
There was a woman's back before the girl, and she was gradually leaving into the distance.
"Ma, don't go … Ma, don't you want me anymore..?"
The woman stopped for a moment, but she did not turn her head back. She continued walking forward quickly. Only the girl's cries could be heard in the snow and wind. Even when she could no longer chase after her and fell to the ground, she still struggled to get up. With tears in her eyes, she wanted to continue running forward, to grab her mother's hand and ask her not to leave.
Yet the woman gradually left into the distance. Her figure could no longer be seen in the snow and wind. As the girl cried, she seemed to have used up all the strength in her weak body and fell into the snow, no longer moving.
The snow and wind were strong, and when the wind blew on her body, it caused the girl to hug herself. She closed her eyes and mumbled her mother under her breath, losing consciousness.
The little finger of her right hand gradually turned green. It was the color of frozen flesh …
Su Ming looked at all of this and remained silent.
A man walked out of the snow and wind. Su Ming could only see the man's face indistinctly and could not see his face clearly. He walked to the girl's side and crouched down gently to pick her up before turning around and walking into the distance.
"Su Su, come home with papa …"
This scene froze in Su Ming's eyes. As it gradually disappeared, a shudder ran through his body and he snapped out of his daze. He looked at his right index finger pausing on the drawing board, and after a brief moment of confusion, he looked towards a corner of the drawing board.
That was the spot where Bai Su had touched during the day.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. He lifted his right hand and touched the corner of the drawing board where Bai Su had touched it. A pensive look appeared in his eyes.
'Why is this happening..? Ever since I Transcended, I've never dreamed. Even the voice in my dream has never appeared again … But when I was copying the drawing just now, I fell into a daze.' Su Ming frowned.
'This dream doesn't seem fake, and it's impossible for it to have appeared out of thin air. There must be a reason behind it!' Su Ming fell silent and thought about it for a long time. When dawn was about to break and the light of dawn appeared, a thought suddenly flashed in Su Ming's head.
'Could it be … that when Bai Su touched the drawing board yesterday and my divine sense came into contact with it when I focused all my attention on it, a brief connection formed between our memories during that instant …
'That's why I had the dream just now!
'Could it be that the power of divine sense allows me to see the other person's memories?' Su Ming took a deep breath. As his eyes sparkled, he turned into a long arc and left the ninth summit when the sun was about to rise. He charged down the mountain.
There were many creatures that loved the cold within the endless ice outside Freezing Sky Clan. Perhaps it was because of the weather, but most of these creatures were aggressive.
Su Ming had already been there for almost two hours. The sky was already bright, and there were eight corpses of Ice Wolves lying beside Su Ming.
He had his right hand placed on the head of a Ice Wolf that was still alive. Su Ming had his eyes closed, and the moment he opened them, the Ice Wolf shuddered and fell to the ground, dead.
There was a strange glint in Su Ming's eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned into a long arc and left the place, returning to the ninth summit.
Yet the moment he stepped onto the ninth summit and stood on the platform outside his cave abode, he saw Bai Su approaching him once again. At the instant he saw her, a sense of familiarity that surpassed the one he had the day before appeared clearly in her attire and expression.
She wore a pair of beast skin boots, a black mink skin coat, a tall and slender body, her hair tied up by a red grass rope, the anger in her eyes, and the frown between her brows.
At that moment, Bai Su, with her deliberate disguise and after seeing the clothes and expression of the woman in his dream with his own eyes, managed to look exactly like her!
On the second day of the third watch, there was one more watch. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
