The Egg of Taishi had been set by Yan'er, who so loved to care for others, atop a mountain peak; the diligent dragon-sparrow was searching everywhere for twigs and leaves, meaning to build a nest for the egg, and then to squat upon it and hatch the Egg of Taishi. Shen Mu could not help shaking his head and laughing.
"The Taishi of now is no longer the Taishi who broke free of Taichu's suppression; little by little, you are reforming him.
" Taiyi said, "That is a good thing. He has come to realize that this universe gave him birth and bestowed his duty upon him. The desire and ambition in his heart are gradually fading.
Look — he is at peace now.
" Shen Mu looked. The Egg of Taishi in the nest, while Yan'er was not watching, was quietly slipping away, and then the diligent Yan'er caught it again and stuffed it back into the nest.
"If I had helped you, Taishi would have become a different Taishi, and after he emerges into the world in the future, the havoc he wreaks will surpass even Taichu's! " Taiyi said calmly, "So I chose to help you by not helping. "
