Shambhala Cavern beneath the Great Hollow, in the middle of the underground space.

"No... Wrong... How is this possible... I... I... Didn't I survive with the help of the Queen!? ”

"You....! You! ”

"Naive."

The real Imotena, the face of the old man clinging to the rock wall, was now hideous, roaring and a little incredulous.

And at the center of his eyebrows, a strange red light was constantly flickering.

It was Aurora's voice that came out of it!

"Do you really think that a mere mortal queen can stop my will?"

"From the very beginning."

"I left you behind!"

"It's for today!"

Thundered!

The red light erupted in an instant, completely eroding the old man's face, and the entire face fell off the rock wall, and then completely collapsed, and the scattered rocks were reassembled, finally forming a female figure composed entirely of rocks, which looked like a dilapidated stone puppet.

“.... It was supposed to be a rainy day, but it turned out to be really useful, just a little.... I almost died. ”

"Could it be.... You foresaw my end? ”

"It's okay."

In the shadows, another ray of light appeared, and there was no human figure, only a golden ball of light could be seen, and a deep sound came from the ball of light.

"It's not an expectation, it's just a simple speculation, how can the power of Uroboros be so useful, although with the help of the Ouroboros's circulating power, you can enjoy enough sacrifices to get a chance to be resurrected, but you naturally have to take the corresponding risks."

"You mean.... Am I being discovered? ”

"Or else?"

The voice in the ball of light was a little mocking: "Why do you think those outsiders happened to come to Shambhala?" Nothing more than a system arrangement. ”

"And this place is the territory of Uroboros."

"Except that you were discovered by him, there is no second explanation, obviously I specially used the hands of others to seal Shambhala with an enchantment, but it was still discovered, which is really a mistake."

"So what now?"

"My recovery has completely failed, and I am left with a body of mud, and everything is ruined!"

Aurora's tone was a little excited, and it was clear that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.

"It doesn't matter."

The voice in the ball of light was very indifferent: "Although you failed this time, at least you are completely awake and are no longer the same as before." ”

"With this foundation, you don't need the power of Uroboros, and you also have hope of regaining the peak."

“..... How? ”

"Go to our territory, there will be someone there to help you, and you are not the first, once the open beta opens, the battle between us and the new gods will start again, for that day to come, compatriots like you, we will try our best to fight for each one."

"Game..... I understand. ”

"Very well, then come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ball of light swelled violently, completely engulfing Aurora, who was left with only a body of mud.

..................

My name is Loren.

He didn't come from a good background, he didn't have much strength, and he wasn't even smart among his peers, but he was just the most insignificant ordinary person in Shambhala.

But on that day, everything changed.

That's a... Very, very, very beautiful women.

Even as beautiful as the Queen.

She stood in front of herself, who had been forced to work with the able-bodied people, and was so tired that she almost fainted to the ground, and said in a heavenly voice:

"You look like you're having a hard time."

“........”

I ignored her, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't even realize she was talking to me at the time.

After all, I am so ordinary.

Someone like her can't be talking to herself.

However....

"I can help you."

The pedestrians walked by one by one, but she ignored her, her beautiful face always facing me, and her eyes never looked away from me.

“.... Help... I? ”

"yes."

She seemed to be smiling, as if she was happy that I was finally talking to her.

"Will you let me help you?"

"If it were me, I would make you the most prominent person in Shambhala, and everyone would be watching you all the time, but on the other hand, you would also run for Shambhala all your life, which might be even harder than your current life, and maybe you would be very miserable at that time."

"Prominent position.... A lifetime of running.... Hard ....."

I didn't hesitate.

"It's okay!"

I'm not greedy, in fact I've never been bullied, although I'm not as good as my age in many things, I'm still taken care of by many people, I love the city dearly, I'm just not reconciled.... Feeling unworthy of the care and attention of so many people.

I want to be more useful.

I want to be more promising.

I want everyone to smile and say, "I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning."

"I don't need status."

"As long as you can make me smarter and stronger, I will fight for the status myself!"

The devil sent the gods to the earth, and I made a request to her.

"Really?"

"That's fine, it's nothing more than that.... The difference. ”

She seemed to whisper something, but I couldn't hear it, but finally she reached out and touched my head, then cupped my cheeks with her flawless hands.

"Pray to me."

“.... Prayer? ”

"Yes, pray to me, I will grant your wish, from now on, you will have the status of one person above ten thousand people and the ability to match it, but for the rest of your life, you will pay for Shambhala, you will suffer, you will be confused, you will waste your life..."

“.... Would you like to do so? Won't you regret it? ”

Pain, confusion, waste a lifetime... Is that what the big guys have to pay?

Never mind!

If it's for the sake of the Shambhala I love, I don't mind!

Thereupon....

..... I made the promise I regretted the most in my life.

"I do!"

“.... Good! ”

Her voice suddenly rose high, with unprecedented joy, and her tone and choice of words also changed subtly, and the temperament that had fascinated my heart before gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a breathtaking majesty and solemnity.

"O son of man, I have heard your wishes!"

"Your wish will come true!"

"That's right."

“.... But how to achieve it is another matter. ”

The next second.

My consciousness sank into darkness.

...............

"Ahh Ahh!!!h ”

"Alright, alright."

"Good boy... Take it easy...."

Imotner, or Loren, let out a scream the moment he came to his senses, struggling to get up, but before that, a small hand with slightly rough skin directly pressed his head and pressed him back again.

"You....! Granny? Wrong! Aurora... That woman... That one....! ”

"It's all gone."

“.... What the!? What are you talking about? Leave me alone.... Shambhala....! ”

"It's all gone!" Granny interrupted Loren's narration with tougher words, and then forcefully made him turn his head to look around.

"Believe it or not."

“........”

Loren was stunned to see everything in front of him, at this time he was pillowed on Granny's lap, and the two were located on the walls of Shambhala, at a glance, he could clearly see the scene of Shambhala at this time, but the appearance after the destruction made Loren almost heartbroken.

"Shambhala... Shambhala.... No, no, no... It's me, it's all me....! ”

"It's not you."

"I...."

"Don't you see, there, Aurora's corpse."

“... What the!? ”

For a moment, there was a longitudinal glint in Loren's eyes, and he immediately followed Granny's fingers, and on the lower part of the hill where the palace was located, he saw with superhuman eyesight a crumbling mass of rotten flesh, and only half of the statue of the goddess remained.

Is that.....

"The mercy of the goddess?"

"That's right."

"She's dead?"

"Dead."

Luo Lun didn't reply, just watched quietly: ".........."

He was suddenly confused.

Everything came too quickly, his memory had just been revived, he had just remembered what had happened, his hatred had just been ignited like an infinite fire, only to be told that the target of his revenge was dead, for a moment, Loren only felt at a loss, not knowing what to do....

"Hey, handsome little man."

“.....？”

At Granny's call, Loren turned his head to look at the other party, because he had been pillowed on Grannie's lap, he looked at it just opposite Grannie's gaze, who had been looking down at her.

"Come with me."

“.... What the? ”

"The old lady has taken a fancy to you, since I first came to Shambhala, I have recognized you, Adventure King Loren, since Shambhala has been destroyed, you can go with me."

"Adventure King.... Yes. ”

It was only then that Luo Lun realized that he still had the title of adventure king in the outside world.

It's just that.... So what?

"Shambhala is destroyed."

"That's not right."

Granny interrupted Loren's near-hearted muttering, "Shambhala isn't destroyed yet. ”

"What are you talking about? Don't you see? Shambhala...."

"Aren't you still here?"

“.....！！！”

"You're the last Shambhala, you're still alive, you've got hands and feet, you can rebuild your house or something, you can rebuild your land or something, you're a man, you're going to have children in the future, your children can find a mate, and over time, the Shambhala people will still reappear on the land."

"In that case."

"Why do you say Shambhala is destroyed?"

"I ....."

Loren looked at Granny with a little red cheeks in a daze, while the latter cracked the corners of his mouth and said with a laugh:

"What am I, what am I."

"You still have a lot of work ahead of you, and it's going to be very hard to rebuild Shambhala."

"Are you ready?"

“........”

At this moment, Luo Lun seemed to return to the day countless years ago, when he made a wish to the goddess, pinned everything on the goddess, and made the biggest mistake in his life.

And this time.

“.... I understand. ”

No longer pin your wishes on others.

Rebuild Shambhala.

With your own hands....!

"You're right."

"Shambhala has not perished, as long as I am alive, Shambhala has not perished....!"

"That's right."

Granny smiled and patted Loren on the shoulder, and then as if inadvertently brought up a topic: "By the way, what's going on with that bastard of you in the outside world?" You know, it's the guy who brought us to Shambhala, the self-proclaimed Roland....."

"I don't remember the legendary Adventure King's history in the kingdom."

"With whom?"

"I'm not questioning! Just a little curious...."

Granny said cautiously, while quietly looking at Loren, and Loren listened to her question....

..... But he showed a stunned look.

He then gave an answer that made Grannie's pupils shrink.

"Bastard? I don't have any illegitimate children. ”

"And I didn't know you were coming to Shambhala...."

“..... What are you talking about? ”
