.
1,400 years later, Qing Niao's burning ended early, and the furnace opened again. This time, two Behemoths walked in.
"We're relatively small, so we've decided to go in together. This way, we can last longer, and we'll have company."
Holding hands, White Wolf and Moon Deer bid farewell to everyone and walked into the furnace.
Then, they saw the engravings on the wall, and Qing Niao who was looking at the records in deep thought. She seemed to have been awakened, and turned around blankly: "Is it your turn?"
"Yes." White Wolf grinned: "You're leaving."
"It's a pity that my thesis will be finished soon …" Green Bird sighed and turned around to smile at them. "Don't give birth to a child."
"Not as boring as you."
White Wolf and Qing Niao high-fived and took the flame, causing Qing Niao's silhouette to flicker. She sighed softly: "It's not as scary as I expected, but I'm a little reluctant."
She silently disappeared.
The furnace closed.
The White Wolf and Moon Deer lasted for 5,100 years, which was longer than expected. Next was Lord Scarlet Disaster. As a life form made of fungi, it was at a disadvantage and only lasted for 600 years before it surrendered. Before it surrendered, it was rather unhappy and shouted that it could still burn for a while longer, but it was kicked away by the impatient Lightless Manticore.
The Manticore lasted for 3,100 years, and then …
Just like that, the Behemoths walked step by step into the flames. Some were calm, some were helpless, some were angry, and some were unwilling.
With the rapid flow of time, the eternal Titan Empire continued to be replaced. Wave after wave of leaders and citizens were born, grew up, and aged. They welcomed unification, then fell into division, and then quickly reunited again. Countless technologies met with failure or success. Systems were overthrown, and then rebuilt. History was like a spiral, sometimes moving forward, sometimes moving backward.
It should be said that there were new changes every day, but unfortunately, other than the burning sun, there was no change in the moon.
Time passed.
Huai Shi continued to move forward.
Until one day, Taurus Constellation told him: "I'm leaving."
"So soon?" Huai Shi was in disbelief.
"It's been more than 40,000 years, brother." Taurus Constellation sighed helplessly: "I can't hold on any longer."
"What about the energy supply after you leave?"
"I've been replaced a long time ago. The new engine has been online for 300 years. My job now is to charge people every day …" The Taurus sighed. "I really miss the time when they still thought I was the Thunder God. Do you still want to move forward?"
"Let's take a walk. There's no harm in taking a walk," Huai Shi said. "Look at how healthy I am."
"You're the most abnormal one, aren't you?" The Taurus Constellation snorted unhappily: "Your body has expanded by at least 10 times, why are you still growing?"
"It means that stones are nutritious," Huai Shi suggested. "You should eat more too."
The Taurus did not reply.
In front of him, the bolt of lightning slowly dissipated. Only a fleeting figure waved at him, and then quietly dissipated into the darkness.
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time. The last person who could talk to him had already left, which made him a little sad.
But fortunately, he had recently made an electric violin and carried it on his shoulder. In the future, when he was bored, he could at least play a few.
At least he felt that he had made great progress, and it was not a waste of time.
He continued forward.
In this way, he walked forward for another five thousand years and slept for a long time.
The messenger from the President spent three years in front of him, waking him up from his dream with a huge speaker, and nervously waiting for his answer.
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was calmer than expected. "Is it my turn?"
"That's good."
Huai Shi nodded, put down the city behind him, opened the cover, and reached out. "Bring me the furnace core."
It took half a year to transfer the furnace core. Now, Huai Shi's body had expanded too much. The furnace that was originally the size of his palm was now only the size of a glass bead.
"Is it your turn?"
The gray bear sitting in the opened furnace core sighed. "Speaking of which, you've gotten bigger again. How are you going to get in?"
"I don't need to go in," Huai Shi said. "I have a more convenient way."
Then he opened his mouth and threw the furnace core into his throat. With a howl, he swallowed it.
He smacked his lips and seriously commented to the messenger waiting below. "You guys haven't done a very good job in removing the rust these past few years. There's a smell of rust."
It wasn't the sweet and sour taste he had originally expected. It was really a bit disappointing.
Then he was ignited.
He felt the flames rise from his abdomen and envelop him in an instant. It was as if his body was going to disintegrate inch by inch, bringing with it an intense burning pain.
In the pain, he couldn't help but bend down, suppressing the roar in his throat.
Only the melted steel left from his body, turning into a metal lake with a radius of a thousand miles. In the boiling metal lake, he took a deep breath, looked up to the sky, and spat out the fire that had been passed down for fifty thousand years.
In the fleeting light of the fire, the figures of giant beasts appeared.
Gazing into Huai Shi's eyes, they smiled and waved goodbye.
"I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, leave it to me."
Huai Shi nodded, but no one responded. Those figures dissipated.
The intense pain of his bones growing burst out from his body. Countless organs roared as they welcomed the transformation in the fire. A pair of huge wings broke out from his back, revealing a ferocious and sharp appearance.
Huai Shi looked up to the sky and roared. His huge tail swept across, bursting out the last dragon's roar in this deathly silent world.
Now he had already welcomed the final transformation in the flames. The terrifying body that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people skyrocketed again. In the cover of the flames, sharp dragon scales grew out from under the armor.
The inherited flames spread to the original bare back, making the bare back more and more solemn in the flames, forming a solemn outline like the sun.
And the Eternal Titan Empire was suspended in the middle of the sun, like a bright pearl.
The Eternal Empire and the eternal giant beast seemed to have merged into one.
Huai Shi had truly emerged from his original form and become the only master of this world, the one who carried the world!
— — The Final Dragon, Bahamut!
Now, the World Devouring Dragon spread his wings in this dead world and grinned.
"Let's go."
He soared into the sky, carrying the sun and the world on his back, and once again embarked on the endless journey.
Just like that, ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, in a trance, time accelerated crazily, as if it was fast-forwarded tens of thousands of times. There was no longer any sense of reality.
In the long journey, the world behind him seemed to have evolved to the extent that he could not recognize it at all. With the departure of the scholars, this city had long been handed over to these evolved races. And now, they seemed to have become a blurry light and shadow. There was not even the slightest difference between each of them.
"Thank you for your long blessings, Divine Great Spirit."
Thousands of figures emerged from the light and shadow, saying goodbye to him, "Today, we welcome the final evolution, abandoning the mortal shell and merging into the ancient source."
"Has it been decided?" Huai Shi asked.
"1.2 million people, not a single one of them is hesitant or fearful. Such gratifying fruits are all thanks to your selfless dedication."
The people in the light and shadow respectfully bowed: "We shall merge into the Silver Ocean and enter a unified realm, no longer being your burden.
This is our final attack against the Apocalypse, please bear witness to it all. "
"Then go."
Huai Shi nodded. "I have no objections."
"Then we shall meet again, Great Spirit." The people in the light and shadow seemed to smile: "I hope that after the end of the Apocalypse, we will be able to meet again in the new world."
"Hm, goodbye then."
Huai Shi lowered his eyes and stared at the figures of light as they walked into the bright light one by one, merging into the brilliant Silver Ocean.
In the boundless silver sea, a ray of light leaped and approached, as if it was reaching out to pinch his face. Finally, it returned to his back and merged into the corona of light. Pure and clear splendor sprinkled down, as if it had turned into the moon.
"Let's go, my friend."
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, then immediately dissipated.
Huai Shi chuckled softly, spread his wings, and flew into the dark distance.
His journey was not over yet.
He wanted to continue forward.
The time that followed was meaningless. After an unknown number of years, Huai Shi's body grew bigger and bigger. Unfortunately, there was no point of reference for him to compare himself to.
He still continued forward.
Until one day, he felt a deep sense of sleepiness that was different from the past. Only then did he look around on the silent earth.
"I'm going to sleep, what about you?" He turned around and asked the sun and moon behind him.
The Silver Ocean was still surrounded by the sun, quietly scattering light. It only flickered for a moment, as if it was saying goodbye.
"Then, good night."
Huai Shi smiled, lying on the ground, using his wings to gently protect the light, and fell into a deep sleep.
He never opened his eyes again.
In the dead silent world, only the flames were quietly dancing, stubbornly singing the epic of the past.
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years …
The flames became like a candle in the wind, gradually dimming, but never extinguishing.
Until one day, a long-lost wind blew from afar, carrying with it thick water vapor. It turned into layers of pitch-black clouds, shrouding the barren world.
Torrential rain fell for three thousand years, filling the dry seabed and forming an ocean. Lush grass seeds grew from the dead earth, turning into a dense forest.
Heaven and earth once again welcomed the rebirth.
And that stubborn flame finally dissipated with the moon.
In the extinguished flames, the first beast walked out, raised its eyes in a daze, and looked around.
It saw the dawn of dawn.
The vast and mighty night thus ended. =
