Thick dark clouds obscured the luminous light of the moon, casting a dark shadow over the inhabitants below.
A cold wind swept throught the mountains, at the foot surrounded by green bamboo trees that sprouted towards the night sky stood a lone figure.
With eyes closed he listened to the chirping of insects quietly, his black cloak moving with the waves of the wind,a few strands of silver white haired twisted from the hood of his cloak like a serpent.
Time passed
His eyes slowly opened, gazing upward, following the serpentine moving mountain trails.
Like a thousand bands of fireflies Gu Yue Village came alive, attracted by the receding clouds and the ember rays of the coming sun.
His black cloak fluttered and he disappeared leaving behind only a silhouette of his arms back showing muscular wrist and callous palms.
Gu Yu Fang manor
"Gu Yue Village, this is 500 years ago?! Looks like the Spring Autumn Cicada really worked…" Fang Yuan quietly gazed, standing by the window, letting the rain from the wind hit his body.
The use of the Spring Autumn Cicada is to reverse time. In the Ten Big Mystical Gu rankings, the Spring Autumn Cicada managed to be ranked seven, naturally it was no mere creature.
In short, it is the ability to be reborn.
"With the use of the Spring Autumn Cicada I have been reborn, going back to the time of 500 years ago!" Fang Yuan stretched out his hand, his sight fixated on his own young and soft, pale palms, then slowly clenched them, embracing the truth of this reality with all his might.
The sound of the drizzling rain hitting softly against the window sill filling his ears, he slowly closed his eyes, but he would never open them again.
His body froze, his eyes losing all light, and his soul was completely destroyed, forever erased from the ever flowing river of time.
A lone figure appeared at his side, his body bent over the window sill, the hood of his cloak pulled back, snow white haired cascaded like wool over his body. His hand rested under his chin, his dark and empty eyes limbid as he listened to the continuous rhythm of the rain drops.
Down below, the water gathered together in a swirling tide, forming a small whirlpool near a small hole, a thin lotus sprouted and was swept aside.

River of time unknown location
Unknown island
Endless maelstroms formed near the island and whirlpool gathered together.
Inside this, in a secret cavern a scholarly youth stood with a red lotus insignia atop a smooth white forehead. His eyes were deep and seem to contain endless sadness, his eyes seems to show deep waves.
His lips shook
"How could such a variable exist? How could a being without any mark in the river of time come to be??
