Under the Heavenly Dao lived countless living beings. A long time ago, grass and trees could transform, and the human race could cultivate immortality.
But all of a sudden, the immortal path collapsed one day, so the human and the demon race also have a life span. The sects of immortal cultivation slowly degenerated into various sects of Metaphysics. The demon race also gradually encountered difficulties in transforming.
The spiritual qi was getting less and less; Metaphysics had begun to decline; and the few remaining demons saw their end.
Nevertheless, there were still differences between the demon and the human race. After humans die, they could enter the Underworld and reincarnate, but demons couldn't. They were sprites that the heaven and earth transformed, and they originated from the barren, so they could only go to the desolation after death.
When all the demons were peacefully waiting for their end, the Heavenly Dao suddenly sent down a chance of life.
A message, a message about the future of the demon race, passed into the minds of every surviving demon at the same time.
【From now on, there will be no more demons in the world. Demons who have already transformed have two choices. One, maintain the ability of a demon, live until your demon power is exhausted, and then return to the desolation. Second, at the top of Kunlun Mountain, dissipate your demon power and reincarnate as a human.】
Little Hua Miao was born during such a special period, the last demon in the world.
Little Hua Miao's body was that of a moon spirit grass. After blooming, it formed an orchid with a pink and white shade along with an intoxicating fragrance. The Moon Spirit Grass only grew under the moon, absorbing moon spirit qi more than the spirit qi of heaven and earth, so in the later stages of the gradual scarcity of spirit qi, the Moon Spirit family became one of the few races in the demon race that could still breed offsprings.
Bai Yu was the elder of the Moon Spirit Clan. She was responsible for taking care of all the younger generations, where Little Hua Miao was the youngest. Bai Yu estimated the day Little Hua Miao would morph into human form and calculated that it would take place in a year or two. Just then, the Heavenly Dao issued a will to let the demon race make a choice.
The Moon Spirit Grass was a special species that could not be moved at will before it transforms. Perhaps in the long past, the ancestors of the Moon Spirit Grass could have had a way to move, but today, the Moon Spirit clan was incapable of moving a flowering plant that has not taken shape. If moved, the seedling would wither and die like a child leaving the womb.
If the seedling dies before it can take shape, Little Hua Miao, who has just developed her consciousness, would return to the desolation.
However, leaving Little Hua Miao in the valley, she would still miss the rise and fall of Kunlun Mountain. Even if she transforms successfully, she will still end up in the desolation.
So, since her ending was the same, why not let her grow up and see the outside world before leaving?
The valley where Little Hua Miao grew up was in a primitive jungle and under a cliff. Although there was a small village above the cliff, the humans in the village never came to the edge of the cliff, so the valley was a very safe place. Still, before Bai Yu left, she set up a barrier around the valley.
She squatted down to the lush seedling and whispered, "Auntie is leaving."
Little Hua Miao gently shook her branch.
"Stay here obediently. When you have transformed, someone will come to pick you up." Bai Yu had previously gone to the Linghe Temple and contacted her close human friend. She asked the owner of Linghe Temple, Perfected Ling Xi, to take Little Hua Miao away on the day she took form, so that she could live freely in the human world.
