Chapter 22: Fade the lead
Because the founder of Forging Heaven is surnamed Duan, and "Duan" and "Forging" are homonyms for each other, Forging Heaven is also called "Duan Heaven".
For more than 300 years since Duan Tiantian was established, the chairman of the board of directors has always been the head of the Duan family, and its hereditary system is stronger than many absolute monarchies.
The prosperity of the Duan family is of course closely related to the outstanding contribution of the founder of the Duan family to forging heaven, but the more important reason is that the Duan family is a genius clan with real "forging bloodline".
Each generation of the Duan family will have at least one master-level seven-star forging master, known as the bloodline family where the god of forging descended from the world.
Historically, there have only been ten man-made artifacts in the Psionic Continent, and the ten forging masters who forged these ten artifacts are respected as "god-level forging masters", and three of the top ten god-level forging masters are from the Duan family, which can be seen from the strong heritage.
Even if you don't talk about history, in the Spiritual Energy Continent, where there are only four Seven Star Forging Masters today, Duan Tiantian's family still has two exclusive seats, one is the head of the Duan family, and the other is from the Duan family's affiliated family.
In terms of the forging field, no organization or family can be compared to Duan Heaven, which is also one of the important reasons why the Star Empire, as the country with the shortest founding time among the five countries, can rank among the top three in terms of national strength, it is said that the seven generals under the command of Julius Caesar all have legendary weapons, all of which are produced in Duan Heaven.
For the praise of Duan Heaven and the Duan family, it has always been high, not low, and there is no such thing as killing.
But ten years ago, there was a genius who was hailed as the most potential genius of the Duan family in the past 300 years, and was killed because of "excessive praise from the world".
This genius is called Duan Rentian, who has shown extraordinary forging talent since he was a child, passing the three-star exam at the age of six, refreshing the historical record in the forging world, being promoted to a four-star forging master at the age of eight, a five-star forging master at the age of eleven, and a six-star forging master at the age of fifteen, almost refreshing the minimum age record of all stars.
People were shocked, and they all thought that Duan Rentian would refresh the history of forging and become the first eight-star forging master in history.
Especially in the year when Duan Rentian was promoted to a six-star forging master, he won the championship of the National Forging Conference with a crushing momentum, and people blew this fifteen-year-old genius boy into the sky, and some brainless fans began to compare him with outstanding celebrities in the history of forging, and even appeared "Duan Rentian killed Duan Shiyu, the first person in forging, and he was not convinced to shut up".
Duan Heaven also regarded Duan Rentian as a treasure, poured countless resources into him, and even asked Duan Rentian, who was still young, to join the "Heavenly Artifact Project" that had been developed for more than ten years, and he did not hesitate to give Duan Tiantian's highest level project to this young genius to practice.
However, it has always been an irrefutable truth that honor stops people and pride makes people regress.
Duan Rentian, who was praised to the sky, participated in the world's No. 1 forging meeting at the age of sixteen, but was tragically defeated in the first round by a girl who was two years younger than him, and it was a crushing defeat.
That game was already a national concern, and such a shocking news spread quickly, and the game video was on the hot search of various countries.
A fourteen-year-old girl from the Flame Moon Kingdom became famous in a fight.
"Duan Rentian, that's it. The rhetoric began to be loud.
Those villains who were jealous of Duan Rentian seized the opportunity to ridicule, and those fake fans who came to admire at the peak also turned their backs when they were at the trough.
The higher he held it, the worse he fell, Duan Rentian received too much praise, he was a child who grew up wrapped in honey, and of course he couldn't withstand the same slander.
He was anxious to prove himself again, but because he was too anxious, he made a major mistake in the development of the "Heavenly Artifact Project", which led to the destruction of Duan Heaven's fifteen-year development results.
The development of the Heavenly Artifact is not only related to Duan Heaven's achievements, but also represents the next era of forging, the former genius has become a sinner in the forging world, and the praise that was once turned into scolding has all turned into scolding.
The young Duan Rentian couldn't stand the blow, and since then he has been in a slump, and he was promoted to a six-star forging master at the age of fifteen, and now eleven years have passed, but he still has not been seven-star, and since three years ago, he has almost disappeared and disappeared from the public eye.
Today's Duan Rentian is twenty-six years old, has experienced the suffering of falling from the peak to underestimation, and has suffered the setback of becoming a sinner from a genius, under the brewing of time, has this former genius really matured, right?
Those true love fans who don't come at the peak or turn their backs when they are at the trough, are they still waiting for the return of that man?
That girl ten years ago had already been promoted to the seventh star and was called the Queen of Forging, she had no opponent in the Flame Moon Country, and no peer in the Spiritual Energy Continent could compete with her, did she also feel a little lonely?
Duan Rentian, this forging genius who has faded from glory, is carrying the past to the future like a man?
Where is he now?

......
- You may not believe it, but he is actually working as a security guard now!
......
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and after the latest time for employees to go to work, the door of the forging paradise was tightly closed, and Duan Rentian sat firmly in the security room, holding an obscure literary masterpiece and reading it with relish.
Every once in a short period of time, there will always be a late employee who takes the staff card to the security room to register as late, which will interrupt Duan Rentian's happy reading process, but Duan Rentian has always had that cool expression on his face, without a trace of impatience.
Occasionally, one or two "smart" employees don't want to sign up for late registration, so they secretly stuff Duan Rentian with red envelopes, but Duan Rentian ignores them and uses silence to deal with them, and sometimes he is sarcastically sarcastic by the angry employee, "Isn't it just a security guard, what a drag", Duan Rentian laughed and never took it to heart.
Those ordinary employees didn't know that the young man sitting in the security room was actually the young master of the Duan family, Duan Rentian, who was once known as a forging prodigy.
The once domineering genius has become an unsmiling, calm and introverted security guard, who has long lost his original immaturity, and some have only faded the maturity of lead.
"The mark of an immature man is his willingness to die heroically for a cause, and the mark of a mature man is his willingness to live humbly for a cause. ”
Whenever he read such a sentence in a book, Duan Rentian would smile heartily.
"The past is all fake, memories are a road of no return, all the past springs can not be restored, even the most fanatical and loyal love, in the final analysis, is just a fleeting reality, only loneliness is eternal. ”
And when you read such a sentence, you will sigh silently.
Duan Rentian felt that he was more ruthless and emotional than before, this is a good thing or a bad thing, who can say clearly?
"Huh?"
Duan Rentian glanced at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of the door, and immediately looked up from the book and looked over.
Only in front of the gate stood a long-haired girl in a gothic dress, who stared intently at the closed door, frowning slightly, as if there was something troubled.
Duan Rentian vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen the girl somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
Suddenly, the girl turned her head and looked!
Seeing the girl's face clearly, Duan Rentian couldn't help but be shocked, such a beautiful girl, her delicate facial features obviously didn't have a trace of the softness that a girl should have, but she had a different kind of beauty.
"Hello girl, do you need any help?"
Duan Rentian put down the book in his hand and got up to greet him.
