He still has not given up.

Shen Mu found Tai Yi. This time Tai Yi was a little girl with two pigtails sticking straight up from her head and a trail of snot at her lips, mending the mountain.
"Daoist brother! "
Shen Mu snatched the little iron bucket and eagerly helped her repair the cracked Black Mountain. The little girl with the pigtails sniffed hard, drawing the two streams of snot back into her nostrils, and then they flowed out again.
Shen Mu's face was wreathed in smiles. As he busied himself, he said with a placating smile, "Daoist brother, the water in your bucket can repair the cracked Black Mountain.
The Black Mountain is the scorched World Tree, is it not?

The little girl sniffed hard once more at the snot running to her lips and said, with the air of an old veteran, "What do you want? "
Shen Mu stopped repairing the Black Mountain and stared at the water in the bucket, which mirrored his face. "Then if it were a World Tree without roots, could the water in your bucket bring it back to life?
In my God Treasury domain, I have just such a rootless World Tree. . .
