Chapter 1300

Is it possible that the endpoint of the previous reincarnation also looked like this?" Xiaohei asked, puzzled, continuing, "But I remember that in the previous life, Gnaeus and Calypso, after submitting the eleven fire seeds, didn't encounter a similar crisis, right? Could it be that in each reincarnation, the time when the Dawn Machine extinguishes is different?"

In the previous life's Fire Pursuit Journey, the last recovered fire seed was the 'Death' fire seed; after the eleven fire seeds were in place, the three of them were still chatting and basking in the sun on the steps of the Dawn Cloud Cliff… and this life's Aohema is worlds apart.

The divine edicts are all the same, and the prophecies given to each person are also the same. But the previous reincarnation ended smoothly, while this one relies entirely on Sai Feier's lies to barely hold on…… The difference is so great that even Lu Ye can't help but feel astonished.

——

""Wengluoluosi people always put 'fate' on their lips… that 'pioneering' fate is that it will always tie the life and death of each person's world to ourselves.""

Star's gaze burned as she fixed her eyes on Danheng: "I'll also stay here with you……"

"Someone must strive for time." Danheng lightly shook his head, "I don't intend to say goodbye forever to anyone, Star—don't worry, I will do my utmost to survive."

"……Time…little……everything……will return to zero."

Accompanied by a hollow, hoarse voice, the Fire Stealer and his avatars also began to approach the three step by step.

"…Go!"

Danheng's voice suddenly rose, and he sprang forward to block in front of Baihe and Star.

Star also clearly understood the situation—every second of hesitation was betraying the time Danheng had bought for her and Baihe. She could not hesitate; she had to reach the Core of Creation with Baihe.

But after she had run a few steps, she suddenly turned around.

"You must do what you say, Danheng…… you absolutely cannot die here!"

Danheng nodded, and with the corner of his eye watching his companions leave, he strode forward, his body rapidly changing; in just a moment, Danheng swiftly entered the state of the Dragon Sovereign.

"Where there is flowing water, I can borrow its power to cleanse impurity."

The Fire Stealer seemed surprised by this sudden power: "This power…unfamiliar……"

"Who…are you……"

Danheng did not directly answer its meaning; as the Dragon Sovereign's power surged, the flowing water in the bathhouse also began to gradually gather toward him.

"Even if I am merely a passerby, I will not spare my life to protect the unfamiliar world beneath my feet…this is the trajectory of fate that 'pioneering' cannot escape. I am a nameless traveler, and what I must do……"

"It is to defend all hope that is about to drift away."

——

The Kobayashi family's dragon maid.

"Heh heh… Danheng has finally revealed the true form of the Dragon Sovereign! Are you dumbfounded?!"

"Let you witness the Dragon Sovereign's power that the Extinction Sovereign Huanlong personally experienced, Danheng's second stage! See whether Huanlong can endure blows or you can"

Takiguchi Shin pushed up his round glasses on the bridge of his nose, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twisting into a wild grin.

"Hey, Fafnir, don't you want to see how Danheng deals with this guy"

"…So noisy"

A voice tinged with a little impatience came from the other side of the sofa.

"I saw Fafnir, without lifting his head, staring at the game screen, his hands flying as he executed combos; hearing Takiguchi's overconfident remarks, he couldn't help but frown and interrupt: 'This isn't the ancient sea of Luofu—do you think the Dragon Sovereign's power can be fully exerted here'"

"Huh? Can't it"

"Nonsense. Back when he was in the Scale Abyss Realm, the water dragon Danheng condensed was probably more than all the water in the bathhouse combined. With less water to control, Danheng's power naturally suffers greatly…… This is like making a person fight while wearing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of shackles; no matter how skillful, it's hard to exert full strength."

"Similarly an elder dragon, possibly even a member of the immortal dragon clan that has never met in the universe? In any case, emotionally Fafnir still hopes Danheng can win, but rationally…… the scales of victory might completely tip toward the Fire Stealer."

"Letting Danheng alone deal with the Fire Stealer is tantamount to placing all our hopes on the 'Recreation of the World,' yet that divine edict is frustratingly vague and obscure……"

"The apocalypse is imminent, yet Laigushi's hiding place is unknown. Fafnir is curious—it has sensed that Laigushi is concealing many secrets, but since this world is about to be destroyed, isn't it going to come out and say something"

"If Wengluoluosi is headed for destruction due to a broken reincarnation, will that Extinction Sovereign break free of its shackles"

——

"Lord Baihe"

Upon arriving at Star's door, there were two Holy City guards stationed here.

After making arrangements for them, Baihe's gaze suddenly fell upon Star.

In those water‑blue eyes, a surge of emotion welled up instantly: the moving feeling of entrusting each other's backs, the gratitude for helping them complete the Fire Pursuit Journey, and the reluctance of impending separation……

He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he had returned to his former calm, continuing to instruct the two guards: "As for the two pioneers—just have you personally escort them"

Mimi was somewhat puzzled: "What on earth is going on……"

"Sorry, partner. This time I acted on my own initiative." Baihe frankly laid out his plan: "Before the conquest of Aigle, I had made the worst preparations. Even if Aohema might one day fall to the Heichi…… but as long as we defeat Aigle, so that the sky's curse is lifted…… at least you and Danheng still have a chance to return home safely"

"He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there……"

"Sorry, I know you don't like giving up halfway, so I didn't give you advance notice." Baihe lowered his head, "I know this is hard to accept… but even if I have to endure a lifetime of blame, I must still be responsible for you"

"You and Danheng taught me what the spirit of 'pioneering' means, partner. The best decision I've ever made was to follow my intuition and choose to believe in you. Danheng and I have told many tales of the 'nameless traveler'; two that left the deepest impression on me are 'Berloberg' and 'Pinokangni'—the first story tells me that a world's fate should be decided by its own people. And you——even if you willingly risk life and death for an unfamiliar world——must still embark on a journey to the next world awaiting salvation"

"Because that is your mission…the 'fate's path' you have walked upon. And in the second story, Danheng and I spoke of those nameless travelers who gave their lives for the 'Prison Star'. I know full well that you two are willing to make the same choice for Wengluoluosi"

"After hearing those stories, I also privately made a resolve——"

Baihe placed his hand solemnly on his chest: "I will absolutely not let your journey end here with a period, Star. Beyond the heavens that the people of Wengluoluosi have never touched, there are still many waiting for you to return home"
