"Except for the primordial fire, there is nothingness, there is no heaven and earth, everything is chaos...... There are no comparators, and it is not even known how much time has passed. Several humanoid species crawled through the muddy mud until the fire appeared. Gwen, the primordial god, Nit, the Tomb King of the Dead, the witch of Chaos Izaris, and a dwarf that no one has ever seen have obtained the four most primordial and powerful royal souls from the First Fire. These royal souls are the main elements that make up all things.

And at that time, it was not these people who had the soul of the king who ruled the world, but the immortal ancient dragon...... The Immortal Elder Dragon appeared much earlier than the Sun King Gwen. Their scales are even able to resist the passage of time. And among the immortal ancient dragons, an outlier appeared...... She was white and had no scales. This ancient dragon is called Hiss.

Hesitating without scales, the white dragon Hiss suffered from the unfair treatment of the Immortal Elder Dragons, so Hiss told the kings the secrets of the Immortal Ancients. Immediately, the three kings joined forces, and the Tomb King Nit unleashed a miasma of death, corroding the hard dragon scales of the immortal ancient dragon; The witch of Izaris unleashed the flames of chaos and burned the ancient trees inhabited by the immortal dragons; Gwen gave the strongest, the sun-like Thunder King's soul to some of the knights, giving them the power of thunder and lightning, and when the Thunder Spear of Light pierced the decaying scales of the Elder Dragons, it became the last hammer to shatter the reign of the Immortal Elder Dragons.

The existence of the most ancient and supreme rulers has finally fallen. These original beings also inaugurated their own era, and Gwen created the royal city of Arnoor Lund and all things at the very top of the Lodeland. ”

Later, the primordial fire gradually dimmed, and in order to keep the world from returning to darkness, the god king Gwen chose to use his soul as firewood, and threw himself into the furnace burning with the primordial fire without hesitation. And after that, after each reincarnation, the chosen undead will awaken, and then the footsteps of the original Salary King, the Salary King Gwen, will become a part of the inheritance flame and let the world continue. ”

As he spoke, Ash opened his palm.

"As you can see, I am one of the immortal. It's just like my name, I'm just ashes......"

"Ashes?"

Hearing Ash's words, Hela frowned in confusion.

Nodding, Ash continued, "The most important thing in spreading fire is human nature. In other words, the wisdom of the first fire will continue to burn with human nature as firewood. And with the humanity of the undead, it won't take long for the flame to be extinguished, unless it is a miraculous immortal with high-quality human nature, the first fire can be burned as long as possible. And when this miracle disappears, it will be to us as ashes...... We are the dregs of ourselves, with only human nature as instinct. And the Ring of Darkness has two channels for us ashes to flow in and out of humanity. Therefore, the mission of the ashes is to constantly hunt the geists or the undead. Make the humanity in your body more abundant by some means you can think of, and then put these humanitys into the fire......"

“……”

Hearing Ash's words, Hela fell silent. I don't know why, she felt inexplicably sad for the guy in front of her who called himself Ash. The meaning of birth is to become a vessel of humanity, and then finally put into the fire, in exchange for the burning of the flame and the continuation of the world......

"It's pathetic...... The meaning of existence and the meaning of struggle are all for the sake of death......"

Not paying attention to Hela's words, Ash nodded calmly.

"That's right, that's what we're here for...... I am the original ashes. Just as in the story, the witch of Izaris unleashed a flame that burned the original tree. I appeared after the ancient tree burned completely, and as the first ashes, I knew better than anyone what my people represented......"

As he spoke, a bitterness rose at the corners of Ash's mouth.

"No matter who you are, they will be polite to me because of who I am......"

"But they don't really look up to you......" said Hela indifferently, "and their courtesy is not because of your cause, but because of your mortal fate." They hold you, not from the heart, but so that you don't run away, and for this, they will even deceive you into inheriting the first fire...... Is that right? ”

“…… That's right. ”

Ash nodded calmly, not upset by Hela's words. Or rather, Ash knew this from the beginning of his memory...... After so much time, Ash has also been relieved about this matter......

"So I ended up extinguishing."

After a moment of silence, Hela asked with some curiosity, "What about your oath?" ”

"I did take the oath, and as a knight before Gwen's throne...... But not long after the oath was taken, the fire was extinguished. And I'm going to slaughter Gwen's whole family...... Not. More than once. Ash said lightly, "Basically, every time the bell rings, I need to send them to the grave again. ”

Sitting cross-legged in front of the campfire, the ashes still throwing a bone or two into the flames from time to time. Looking at Hela in front of her, Ash shrugged her shoulders.

"How long have you been here?"

"Five thousand years."

“…… How long?! "You look at Hela in front of me as if you're teasing me, and her ash face is full of disbelief.

"Five thousand years...... Hayra said expressionlessly, "I've been imprisoned here for five thousand years by that guy Odin...... Now there are probably not many people in Asgard who even know my name. ”

"Asgard?!"

The ashes became even more dazed. Scratching his head, Ash began to wonder if he hadn't learned his own history well......

"That's right...... I've never heard of anything like the King of Wages or Rodland......"

After a moment of silence, Ash sighed.

"Now...... Isn't it the age of fire anymore? ”

"That's right, the age of fire in your mouth has come to an end. …… If it is really as you described, the name of Gwen, the king of Wuxing, should resound throughout the universe. But in fact, I haven't even heard of the name. Or, you made up this story......"

"Well, the Age of Fire has completely disappeared into the dust of history."

Hearing this, he was silent for a while. Ash shrugged his head in amazement, his gaze fixed on the slowly burning campfire in front of him.

"That's ...... ......"

Ash let out a sigh of relief. Groping around his waist a few times, and under Hela's somewhat wary gaze, Ash pulled out a small golden bottle. Without taking off the helmet, or at least the need to take it off, the ash poured directly into the gap between the helmet's mouth, absorbing the scorching elements, and a burst of heat poured into the body, which gave the body a little vitality that had lost its touch. He let out a long sigh of relief. As if noticing Hela's eyes, Ash handed the bottle over.

"Do you want to taste it?"

There was silence for a moment, looking at the ashes in front of her, Hela's throat moved...... Imprisoned for more than 5,000 years, Hela hasn't eaten anything for more than 5,000 years. Although I don't feel hungry by relying on divinity, I have a desire for ...... He took the small golden bottle in Ash's hand, the outer shell of the bottle was slightly hot. In Ash's encouraging gaze, Hela poured the golden and red liquid from the bottle towards her mouth......

But Hela didn't feel any taste, instead, she felt the scalding heat like lava. Her pupils instantly shrank, and almost subconsciously, Hela spit out the liquid in her mouth to the side. Falling on the solid stone slab, the scorching magma-like liquid quickly melted into speckled holes in the floor. He tossed the prima bottle aside. Holding his mouth where even his tongue had been melted, his other hand instantly summoned a sharp black long sword aimed at Ash's throat, and he froze until the burns on his tongue and mouth were completely repaired through divinity, Hela's brows furrowed, and she said sharply: "What are you going to do!" ”

After a moment of silence, Ash said with some surprise:

“…… You're not undead? ”

"When did I say I am?!"

"But you didn't say you weren't!" Ash said innocently: "When the primordial flame is extinguished, it stands to reason that there should be no independent human nature and soul in the world...... And you just repaired your injuries so quickly, I thought you just didn't learn history well......"
