Ignoring Romantina's highly ambiguous question, Zhou Qing used Inner Scenery to connect with the two of them and conveyed what he had seen.
Without linking to Mother's Aura Field, they could not experience that wondrous sensation of becoming one with the world. Yet the scenes of the world's birth, the evolution of stars, the proliferation of life, and the emergence of civilizations still shook them to their core.
"Mother's wish differs from those ancient beings who seek only the truths of the universe. Instead, it aligns with our own ideals."
After the two came to their senses, Zhou Qing slowly said, "In pursuit of that fleeting touch of emotion, she did not choose to seek higher dimensions. Instead, she waited within eternity for every living being born on Earth to return—
Mother.
No title could suit her better!"
This was Mother's choice.
The sea of stars was certainly dazzling and enchanting, stirring endless longing. But a child who left home and lost their roots was merely duckweed drifting upon the water, carried wherever the current took them.
Therefore.
Mother chose to remain at home, waiting for her children who had gone forth to explore to return.
Thud!
Tang San knelt and kowtowed to Mother three times.
Ah Yin was his birth mother.
But the Mother before him was his mother in spirit.
Therefore.
He had to pay his respects.
Zhou Qing did not stop him.
Though Romantina did not understand Tang San's seemingly exaggerated actions, she could sense how deeply moved he was, so she did not ask further.
After Tang San rose, Mother slowly closed her eyes. Her kind and gentle voice rang out once more within the souls of the three.
Machines... Soul Tools...
Your true path is the sea of stars!
Earth will be your steadfast support!
