In the empty room, time passed little by little. Nearly two days have passed in the world outside the world, but in this world only burned out an ordinary white candle, the punctual bell rang, it was midnight, the clock placed in the room was a second-hand old-fashioned Polaris mechanical wall clock, Di Zi'an liked this style of products very much, there was an illusion of living in film and television works, at that time in the second-hand market at a glance, bought back...... In fact, it is still working diligently, and even reporting on time.

The midnight bell rang one by one, and when the twelfth rang fell unhurriedly like the previous eleven rings and echoed in the room, the owner of the house also returned, and Zi'an sat on the floor of the room in a daze, watching the scene of the ceremony after his disappearance, the cup that fell to the ground, the spilled remnants of milk, the stained blanket, and the burned white candle. He subconsciously stroked the blanket on his body with his hand, and the rough touch of his fingertips really told him that he had returned.

Then he looked at the back of his hand, where a faint rune of cyan lines was carved like a tattoo......

"Travels forever, but is loyal only to the messenger of his own world. ”

Zi'an muttered to himself, after truly witnessing the scene of a world on the verge of extinction, he could deeply understand the burden and responsibility he carried. The journey of the traveler does not only mean a wonderful life, constantly traveling through all kinds of interesting worlds, they also have to face all kinds of horrors beyond human imagination, face all kinds of powerless despair, and more importantly, they have to take responsibility for the world behind them, they are the messengers of the world, and when the world is destroyed, they will have nowhere to escape.

Not long ago, on the altar of the rune world, the will of the world reproduced the azure epic of the past with the help of Dizi'an, and repelled the tentacles of the terrifying outer gods in one fell swoop- It is a thoughtless life in the etheric realm, which essentially relies on the devouring instinct to act, and as long as such a life perceives the trauma, it will instinctively retreat until the devouring instinct takes over again.

Unfortunately, due to his life form and life level, there are very few lives that can cause him trauma in the entire Ninefold Aetheric Sea.

Imraku's retreat undoubtedly brought precious time to this world, and even if this world was not on the verge of extinction, Zi'an only needed to stay in this world to obtain a great promotion, and with the merit of "savior", he could completely complete his spiritual ascension. It's a pity that even if the legends of the past are reproduced by various coincidences, it is not without a price for this world.

As mentioned before, before the trainee traveler embarks on the journey, the world will engrave a mark on them, which is equivalent to declaring the traveler's belonging, and after carving the mark of fire, it will give these future hopes and gifts to help them through the difficulties that may arise in the journey ahead.

This gift can be a rare world special ability, in the rune world is generally a rare rune, or a lost spell, or it may be a direct spiritual improvement for the trainee traveler, many gifts are varied, to Zi'an, because the world is facing the threat of destruction, so under the guidance of the world's will, the world's last fire gift has given the power that once existed in the juvenile epic:

Only one hit, but enough light gun to slay gods and demons.

This can actually be regarded as the self-redemption of the will of the world, but with the support and help of the whole world, it is by no means unhelpful for the teenager to urge the terrifying light gun, but the impact will be more far-reaching, in other words, it may not be of much practical help in the short term. Therefore, the huge consumption of reproducing the azure epic actually comes from this broken world, and the last stone tablet that records this epic is only with the help of the young man's hand to burst out this last power.

The fire, which had burned out in the first place, was finally completely extinguished after this battle.

Just as Ilda and Di Zi'an were silent in the face of the cyan torrent whistling between heaven and earth, experiencing the joy of being in a desperate place, the sound of the stone slab collapsing came from the cup table behind them, and the young man turned his head only to see the stone slab rippling with a cyan halo, falling apart in the wind, shattering into fine dust floating between heaven and earth, each grain of dust seemed to still have an azure halo, but it had also drifted away with the wind.

"Broken, broken......" The young man's mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say. The fire, just extinguished?

And with the collapse of the stone slab, the cyan halo above the canopy also dissipated visibly with the naked eye, and it was almost predictable that when this last force was exhausted, it would be when the world lost its barrier and fell into the sea of ether.

At that time, the thoughtless void creatures in the etheric realm will flood into this world without hindrance, civilization will die, and the world will die.

"Finally, is this the moment?" Ilda closed his dim eyes, which no longer reflected the scene, and his voice was no longer low, and could even be described as gentle, and at such a juncture, he just stood up and turned in the direction of the boy,

"There are a lot of things, I wanted to make it clear to you, but forget it, I can only wait for you to understand it slowly in the future" Just like the tone of the elder explaining things to the younger before leaving, Di Zi'an looked at the white-haired middle-aged uncle in a daze, and his resolute face with closed eyes carried a certain indescribable meaning, "Remember the incantation you said when you came to this world, just replace the item that you pointed to with a product of your world, a piece of clothing, or even a piece of cloth, and then look at that "letter" The object walks in the opposite direction, and the spell is said step by step to go back. ”

"The mark of fire is the key to your connection with this world, and in the future you become a traveler and find a new fire that you can return to this world through the mark," Ilda looked up and spread her arms, and flames poured out from him, from his limbs, from his eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and ears, the white flames,

"Be sure to hurry, until then, I'll try to buy you as much time as possible. And after that, in Zi'an's horrified gaze, the middle-aged uncle turned into pure white fireworks that rose into the sky,

"With the remnants of this life, continue the glory and withering of eternity. "The traveler himself is the one who ignites his own fire, that is, the traveler is qualified to be a fire.

"Fire, commit yourself. "Feed yourself in the fire, become the last fire of the world, and at the moment of the white flame, the collapse of the world stopped, and together with the cyan halo that covered the sky, became the last barrier of the world, guarding the world at the end of the world,

Wait for the lost boy to grow up and bring fire and hope back to this withered world.
