Features: Legend has it that there is a magical life spring in the world. It is crystal clear and sweet, capable of curing diseases, strengthening the body, and granting eternal youth. It gushes from beneath the earth and flows slowly and steadily somewhere on the surface. After people discovered the life spring, they flocked to share its waters and receive its blessings. Later, the powerful who controlled the location of the spring built fences around it and locked it up, strictly regulating those who sought water and demanding payment. This practice went against the nature of the life spring, and its vitality gradually diminished until it slowly dried up. The life spring began to flow from another unknown place. However, the possessors were unaware of this change and continued to monopolize that source, profiting from the imagined magical water. Eventually, some people sensed this change and began searching for new springs. The history of humanity keeps repeating this story.
