(Outstanding repayment)

The burning worm's body stiffened a little after too long of sleep, and it squirmed as usual, and then a crisp sound was heard.

Click-

Click-

A trace of light and heat penetrated into this originally airtight small world, and the hearts of the burning insects who could not open their eyes throbbed slightly.

I have experienced the terrible dark world in my dreams, and everything in this world seems so warm.

Then, several sounds that had been heard in elven eggs during this time reached the ears of the burning insects.

"Boom! (Moved, eggshells moved!) ）”

"Strange! (Are you going to hatch out?) ）”

"Saina. (You two guys, can you be quiet, don't scare the incendiary bugs.)"

"Boo's! (That is, get out of the way and leave the space to Xia Chen!) ）”

The noisy but warm sounds gradually stopped, and the burning insects, yearning for the light and heat of the outside world, focused on creating more cracks by wriggling and breaking the shackles.

The process was not strenuous, and soon, cracks sprung up like mushrooms all over the red and black elven eggshells in the crunchy sound of vitality.

Then, a scarlet tentacle shaped like a flame stubbornly broke through the eggshell and swore the arrival of new life.

Burning insects, broken shells are born!

Xia Chen originally thought that he didn't really like insect elves too much, but when this round little guy with snow-white fluff looked at him with deep blue eyes with curious eyes, he changed his original prejudice.

Insects, they seem to be pretty cute, too!

He squinted and smiled at the burning worm, stretched out his index finger and lightly touched the fiery red tentacles above his head, and said, "Hello wow, burning worm~"

The burning worm's flame-like tentacles first instinctively shrank back, but when they felt Xia Chen's kind and warm emotions, they had the courage to stretch out their tentacles in response.

Any living being has a natural affinity for the first person or spirit it sees when it opens its eyes.

The Burning Worm replied with a few words that he had learned from the elves some time ago, "Rawa (Hello?) ）”

Xia Chen smiled and scratched the snow-white fluff on the top of its head, which squirmed and let out a slight cry of comfort.

"Welcome to this world, Burning Bug~"

…………

"The vital signs of this female incendiary insect are stable and very healthy, and no congenital diseases have been detected at this time, which is a specific report."

The pretty Miss Joy took the sleeping burning worm from the Happy Egg and handed it to Xia Chen along with the inspection report.

The Spirit Center on Yuanling Island had been built during Xia Chen's absence, and several Miss Joy and staff members had also settled in.

Although they are civil servants of the alliance, the actual salary is paid by the owner Xia Chen, and Xia Chen is not bad at money, and they are very polite to Xia Chen because of their generous salaries.

Xia Chen took the incendiary worm like a child, and thanked Miss Joy and Happy Egg.

Although it is a bug, the size of the incendiary bug is actually not small, half a meter long, which is larger than the average newborn baby.

After their growth period, they can even exceed a meter in size, which is much larger than larval elves such as the green caterpillar unicorn.

Xia Chen had heard a saying that the Vulcan Moth was expected to become the quasi-god of the United generation, but he gave up because he didn't have a very good second-stage design.

Vulcan Moth's handsome appearance, extremely high upgrade level, and strong strength seem to confirm this.

Bidding farewell to Miss Joy, Xia Chen left the Elf Center and came to an ecological garden specially built for Burning Worms and Flame Blade Ghosts, where the constant temperature of the four seasons was kept at forty degrees.

With Xia Chen's physique now surpassing ordinary people, this temperature has no effect on him.

The design style of the ecological park is based on the desert oasis, which is lush and humanistic.

In the garden, a house was filled with smoke, and it must have been the alchemy master Cangyan Blade Ghost who was busy working.

Xia Chen didn't bother, and came to another glass room here with the burning insect that was still asleep.

He placed the incendiary bugs on a warm, soft blanket made of the finest wool wool and then made a special "baby food" for the incendiary bugs in his room.

The newborn period is the most able stage to cultivate feelings, and Xia Chen happened to be free during this time, so he began his long-lost life with a baby.

The burning insect was awakened by this slight sound of movement, and looked up at Xia Chen, who was busy.

Although she didn't know what this human who had been by her side since she came out was doing, her intuition told her that it should be related to herself.

Feeling the warmth from the inside out, the burning worm rolled over on the extremely soft cashmere and continued to sleep.

…………

Cold, silent, dark. A perception that was diametrically opposed to the warm world suddenly hit, and the burning insect shivered and slowly opened its eyes.

Where is this place again? Dreamland?

Thinking back to the gaze that made her soul tremble, the burning worm felt that it was not so simple.

[This is my world turned out to be]

An ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and the burning insect was slightly startled.

"Yes."

[I am the light here, the light that has been banished.] ]

The voice didn't play dumb riddles, it explained directly.

[A light banished to the void by the Radiant God.] ]

Although the voice calling itself "Light" explained it clearly, the Burning Bug still had too many puzzles.

"Who is the Radiant God?"

[The Great Being of the Other World, in short, after the expulsion of the self, the humans and elves here have lost their light.] ]

The Burning Worm finally understood something, so the owner of that evil and treacherous sight was the Radiant God?

[Yes, for some unknown reason, He fell into a state of mania, and the world was in danger because of it.] ]

"Light" seems to be able to read the thoughts of the incendiary bugs, so he said.

[I don't know why your consciousness is there, but I'm glad I met you, I. Would like to beg for your help. ]

"Help."

The Burning Worm was suddenly silent, recalling that gaze, and her first instinct to survive was to refuse.

"I don't think I'm capable of that."

[You have, in you, I feel the breath of the sun.] ]

"Light" didn't hear the meaning behind the incendiary bug's refusal, and his voice gradually became excited.

Seeing this, she said directly: "I'm more worried about my own safety." ”

"Light" then understood the concerns of the burning insects, and hurriedly added.

[With my help, you will be fine, and it will also be good for you, you will gradually inherit my authority and power, and you will become the new sun god!] ]

"Oh"

The incendiary bug's response was rather cold, not that it questioned the promise of this suspected pie, but that it had no concept -

What is the sun god?

Is this an elf?

[Actually, even if you don't help me, I can only attach myself to you and help you grow, but countless creatures in this world can only die gradually in darkness and despair, I know that this has nothing to do with you, but in short, that's all you say, you can choose for yourself.] ]

…………

The voice of "light" gradually fell silent, and without saying a word, the two fiery red tentacles on the top of the burning insect's head were entangled together, just like her state of mind at this time.

To help or not to help, that's the question.

I don't know if the "light" is intentional, its words are somewhat suspected of moral kidnapping, and the burning worm is not the kind of worm that "as long as I don't have morality, you can't morally kidnap me".

When she first came to this world, she had good intentions in her heart, and she didn't know if it was her nature or she was infected by Xia Chen.

Anyway, the Burning Bug really started to think about it seriously.

After a long time, she began by asking, "What can I do?" ”

The spark that exists in the soul or consciousness suddenly jumps up, as if to express excitement.

[Cast the light, absorb the faith!] ]

The incendiary worm was puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”

[Contrary to the being who absorbs negative energy and turns it into power, my power comes from the belief of the beings of this world in the light.] ]

[Now, I need you to turn into the sun, to cast the light of your world here, to absorb the power of faith, the more faith you have, the stronger your power, the stronger your power, the more you believe, and so on until we have the ability to defeat the "dark matter" and help the Radiant God regain his consciousness.] ]

(Dark Matter: Pokémon Incredible Labyrinth series, entrenched in the World Tree, inevitable existence, the origin of all disasters.) ）

Although the explanation of "light" is clear, the Burning Worm is still a nascent spirit after all.

She ignored the word called [Dark Matter], but didn't know what it was, and nodded half-incomprehensibly.

[When you dream, your consciousness will be brought here by Me, and you will become the sun, bringing light and heat to the living beings, and the positive energy generated by them will also be returned to you, increasing your strength, and if you understand, then we can start now.] ]

"Well, let's try it first."

Because of the psychological shadow caused by that evil sight, the burning insect was still a little cowardly, and nodded slowly.

[Rest assured, the initial movement was small and He would not have known.] ]

After comforting the incendiary insects, the light stopped talking, presumably starting the first projection.

…………

After about three or four seconds, the burning insect suddenly noticed an extremely strong light and heat gushing out of its body, and it continued to gush out like a torrent in a reservoir that had burst its banks.

She couldn't see her own appearance clearly, but she thought it should be as bright as the sun.

The burning insect looked down, but found that it was not far from a dry and dead ground, not at all like the majesty of the sun.

[My strength is still very weak now, it is relatively bleak, be considerate.]

"Light" explained weakly.

The Burning Bug didn't care, she was experiencing the wonder of being a "sun" that emitted light and heat, and observing the world she was shining on at the moment.

This is a lifeless world, not to mention flowers and trees, even the rocky ground is withered, and there is no sign of the existence of any living beings.

After a long time, it was still like this, and it was a little boring not long after the burning worm took office.

"Are you sure you can absorb the faith? Why don't we move somewhere? ”

The incendiary insect questioned, quite a kind of fisherman can't catch a fish and thinks it's not good.

[Wait, be patient, the last thing we lack is time.] ]

Light said so soothingly.

Obviously, it was still a situation where the world was about to be destroyed

The burning insect complained in his heart.

Despite thinking so, she finally endured her temperament, and did not hurry to radiate light and heat to illuminate the earth.

I don't know how long it took.

There was a sudden noise on the ground, and the burning insects, almost waiting for the fall asleep, suddenly came to their senses and looked down.

But I saw a rock under the ground, and a dark purple elf with a large head flew out, with several slender sharp needles on its head.

At this moment, I was adjusting to the long-lost sunshine, rubbing my eyes, and looking up at the burning insects in the sky with an incredible expression!

Is this the legendary light?

The young poison babe was amazed when she saw this thing for the first time.

It froze in place for half a minute before it realized what it was seeing, and then spun in circles—a gesture of excitement and joy for their group.

After about three or four minutes of spinning, I don't know if it fainted before it stopped, and Poison Babe lay on the ground facing the sun and sunbathed.

Suddenly, it sat up.

“poi~”

Perhaps, I should tell my people the good news!

Thinking so, Poison Bebe rolled over and burrowed into the cave and disappeared.

…………

"How do you absorb the power of faith? I don't think my body has changed."

The purple elf vanished, and the burning worm lost its object of observation, and complained to the "light".

[Of course, a poisonous babe can't feel it, and the formation of faith accumulates over time, and it doesn't happen overnight, okay, let's finish it.] ]

The incendiary worm was surprised: "The end? Why? That poisonous babe is obviously back with someone. ”

[My strength can't hold it for the time being, rest assured, you will definitely see them tomorrow, creatures who have never seen the light can endure the darkness, but when they have hope, they will never give up willingly.] ]

Light's words were very philosophical, and the burning worm nodded thoughtfully, and then she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

The light, the warm, fresh air, the perception of it all tells the burning bug that she is back in the real world.

"What, did you have a nightmare?"

A familiar voice came out with concern, it was Xia Chen.

Perhaps it was the contrast of the cold and lonely world, and the burning insect felt how precious the warmth Xia Chen brought to him.

She rubbed Xia Chen's warm palm stretched out, expressing her intimacy.

Xia Chen smiled slightly and asked, "You slept for a long time, I didn't wake you up, are you hungry?" ”

Originally, she didn't feel anything, but as soon as she was reminded, the burning insect felt very hungry, and she nodded unceremoniously.

"Rava! (Hungry, hungry!) ）”

Xia Chen immediately served the special food that had been prepared early, and the climate in the ecological park was hot, so there was no need to heat it up, and the burning insects ate it immediately.

When I was growing my body, maybe I consumed a lot of energy in that world, and I burned the worms to eat it.

After a while, the large portion of food specially prepared by Xia Chen was wiped out.
