【Two】

In the moment the peach branch touches the ground, the phantom of the golden armor suddenly freezes.

It’s not a pressure, but a more distant aura — like the first spring pulse breaking through the winter earth, fragile yet tightening the silence of the entire sky.

“Peach wood burned early in the heavenly fire…” A muffled thunderous voice comes from the cloud vortex, “Where did you secretly obtain vitality?”

The man does not answer, his fingertips brushing over the petals. The mysterious iron mask over his right eye suddenly seeps dark patterns, like roots spreading or scorch marks extending.

“Tell the Celestial Patrol,” he raises his eyes, “there is a kind within the ashes. The fire that burned through the nine layers of heaven… is the best soil.”

Thunder roars fiercely! Three golden shackles break through the clouds, locking onto the man’s neck — but shatter inch by inch three feet away, turning into a shower of golden dust. Amidst the drifting dust, all the withered grass unexpectedly sprouts new shoots.

On the wooden pillar of the tea shed, the scorch marks burned by the heavenly fire seven years ago are quietly curling and falling away, revealing the tender green bark underneath.

The man walks toward the outside of the door, each step causing a circle of light green moss patterns to bloom at his boots. When he reaches the tattered banner, he suddenly turns back, gently inserting the peach branch into the scorched earth:

“Tell the Jade Emperor—”

“That swordsman didn’t split the Heavenly Way back then.”

“It was the hard shell sealing the seed.”

The peach blossoms suddenly bloom.

In an instant, across the sprawling wasteland of burning wilderness, billions of green buds break through the soil and grow wildly toward the tilted sky.
