Lake in the center of the earth.

A faint red light quietly stretched. The soft petals slowly opened, revealing the two people wrapped inside.

The lake is still the same as the original lake, and nothing has changed, and the thick magma occasionally bubbles up. The scorching air filled with the fire element made Ji Dong, who was a fire mage, feel extremely comfortable. He and Blaze are back. As Blaze said, they went home.

Blaze didn't put away his natal red lotus, and gently pressed Ji Dong's shoulder, "Ji Dong, you sit down." ”

Ji Dong did as he was told, and sat down on the lotus platform in the center of the Red Lotus in the flame. To his surprise, as he sat down, Blaze sat down too, and sat directly on his lap, his hands wrapped around his neck, and the whole person snuggled into his arms.

"Blaze, what's wrong with you? Is it because you have too much magic power and you're not feeling well?" asked Ji Dong with concern. Blaze had never been so attached to him as he was today, and the softest place in his heart was constantly touched by the delicate flames. But he knew very well that Blaze could unleash the ultimate nirvana, so how could she be really weak?

Blaze shook his head gently in Ji Dong's arms, but did not look up. Just leaned on Ji Dong's broad chest in the most comfortable position, "Ji Dong, you have always wanted to know what kind of strength I have. I want to know why I told you that I can't unleash my power in the human world. Right?"

Ji Dong's gaze gradually became gentle, hugging the flame in his arms, feeling the heat on her body, "No, none of this matters. I never asked you, did I? I respected all your secrets, and I never suspected anything of you. ”

Blaze almost muttered, "But, I'm going to tell you now." Tell you all my things. ”

"When exactly I appeared in this world, even I don't know. Because, after I was born, I was not conscious at all. It was the hottest magma in the Lake that moistened the unknown rocks and gave birth to a red lotus in the center of the earth. I have been quietly immersed in the magma in the center of the earth for thousands of years, ten thousand years. I don't know when, I finally came to consciousness. It will take the initiative to absorb the fire element in the inner lake. But this process is really too far away from your human cultivation speed. ”

"After another unknown amount of time, my spiritual sense began to grow gradually, and it is equivalent to your human soul. I'm gradually able to perceive everything in the outside world. I found that the world I live in is so wonderful. There are eighteen layers in the center of the earth, and each layer has different creatures. As my spiritual sense became stronger and stronger, I could feel more and more things, until my spiritual sense was able to penetrate the eighteen layers of the earth's core and feel the human world outside. I realized that the world is not silent, but so colorful. ”

"Remember? I told you that I had traveled through the human world. Actually, it's just my spiritual consciousness reverberating in your human world. I really envy you human beings, who can withstand the warmth of the sun, and who can have such a unique talent. There are also emotions that communicate with each other. Perhaps, it was from that moment that my spiritual consciousness could no longer be calmed. ”

"As time passed, my spiritual sense continued to grow, and I tried to restrain my yearning for the outside world. Because I know it doesn't belong to me. Through my understanding of the inner world and the observation of the human world, I have learned a lot of truths and understood a lot of truths about heaven and earth. I also know that I shouldn't exist in this world. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my spiritual consciousness will be discovered, and I'll be in a catastrophe from which I will never recover. So, I escaped back, quietly absorbing every minute of fire element in the inner lake, and trying to strengthen myself as much as possible. Only then can I feel a sense of security. ”

Blaze's voice was still so beautiful, but at this moment, there was a strange emotional change in her voice. Weeping and complaining. Ji's heartstrings fluttered with her voice.

"Until one day, the instability of the inner world woke me up from my silent cultivation. When I radiated my spiritual consciousness again, I was surprised to find that the eighteenth layer of the world in the center of the earth had been completely disturbed. There was war everywhere, and countless inner creatures were killed and wounded. The entire eighteenth layer of the Earth's Core has been completely plunged into chaos. I didn't understand what was going on, but for the first time, I had an angry mood. This is my home, and how can I not be angry that someone is destroying my home?"

"So, my spiritual sense began to search, to search for the cause of the war, and soon, I knew. It turns out that this great war was started by the two kings who ruled the inner world in order to compete for the dominance of the inner world. So, I made a move, for the first time in my life. Even I didn't expect that I would become so powerful at that time. I have comprehended the true meaning of fire, and I have the power to ignite it at its source. I slain the two kings separately, and with my spiritual sense, I shocked the entire Inner World, and finally, peace was restored here, and I inherited the reign of the two kings and became the Empress of Inner Earth. I gave myself a name: Flame. ”

Hearing this, Ji Dong was already a little stupid, and he couldn't imagine how the lonely flames of tens of millions of years had been spent. Loneliness is sometimes much more terrible than death.

"Inner Earth is calm, but. But my heart could not be at peace. Before the Flame Lord and the Dark Flame Demon Lord died, they told me that neither they nor I would see the light of day. This is because we are all born of the fire of the earth's heart, not a species created by God. If we were to use human language, then we would be abyssal demons. They are okay, after all, their strength after awakening is not enough to offend the bottom line of the gods. However, they told me that I was different, because when I attacked them, I already had a reason to be feared by the gods. Because, at that time, I was already a god. ”

Although Ji Dong had already guessed something, his heart couldn't help but be shocked when Blaze said that she was already a god.

Flame has always been the goddess of his heart, the goddess of perfection. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be really a god.

Blaze seemed to see through Ji Dong's thoughts. Looking up at him, his gaze was still so gentle, "Actually, I'm not a god, I just have the same power as a god." Only you human beings can truly become gods. But we can't, we can only be abyssal demons! Once the gods know that I exist, then there is only one end for me, which is to be destroyed. From that moment on, I didn't dare to go back to the ground. Even the spiritual consciousness did not dare to go again. I don't want to be destroyed, I cherish this hard-won life and wisdom. Even if the inner world is lonely, I am still alive after all. ”

Hearing Flame say this, Ji Dong's eyes were already a little blurred, and the arm holding Flame trembled slightly, until now, he understood what kind of risk Flame was taking when she traveled on the mainland with her, and everything she did was for herself! Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his whole heart instantly tightened, "Flame, then you just exerted your power outside, you ......"

Blaze sat up straight and gently shifted his position slightly on Ji Dong's legs, bringing himself closer to Ji Dong, "Little Ji Dong, don't interrupt me, okay? ”

Ji Dong grabbed the red dress on Flame's body tightly, hugged her, and put his chin on her shoulder, he was afraid, he was afraid that Flame would leave him in the next moment, and unprecedented panic had filled every corner of his heart.

Blaze continued, "Time passed day by day. You know, in our center of the earth, there is actually no concept of heaven. Because here we don't know day or night. Yes, just life and death. I'm used to this loneliness, and I don't know what I'll do in the future, everything in the inner world is in my perception. I gradually became a little dazed, and I suddenly realized that I didn't understand what it meant to live in peace like this. At this time, suddenly, a spatial fluctuation that was not powerful entered the Earth's Heart Lake and entered my spiritual consciousness. A human child who, in my eyes, is not as strong as even the weakest creature in the heart of the earth has arrived. He came here with a glass of wine in his hand and a smell of wine that I had never felt before. ”

"That's my ......," Ji Dong said with a trembling voice.

Blaze said with a smile. "yes! That's you. I still vividly remember what you looked like when you first came here. You looked at me stupidly. Originally, I was supposed to destroy you. But maybe it was because I was so lonely at the time, or maybe your glass of wine really attracted me, so I couldn't help but talk to you. It was from that moment that my life changed. Every day, I taste the wine you have made for me, and that feeling makes me understand what happiness is in your human mouth. And, to my surprise, there is always a special mood in the wines you make. Being able to put emotions into liquids, which I can't do! I'm God. So, for a long time, I was trying to figure out what this emotion was. My spiritual consciousness has once again quietly gone to your human world. After a lot of probing, I finally understood. That emotion is called *, and it is the love that only occurs between human men and women. ”

"I'm starting to get scared, and this emotion you've brought to me is making me scared. Because I suddenly felt that my emotions and my spiritual consciousness were beginning to be affected by your emotion called love. Every day before you came, I actually learned what you humans thought, and every day your arrival became the thing I looked forward to the most. I'm so afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to be destroyed because of this, we're not creatures of the same world at all, and there's no way I'll accept your love. So, I chose to escape, I didn't dare to see you for a long time. However, the more I do that, the more I miss you in my heart. Moreover, in my spiritual consciousness, more and more emotions like those of you humans have begun to appear. One day, when I saw that you were in danger and almost died, I suddenly realized that I was running away, and I had been running away all along. Doing so only made me more miserable, and I also understood that I had come to possess human emotions not because I was going to destroy, but because I was evolving. Both my sense and my power evolved with this change in emotion. ”

"So I decided, I decided not to run away, I wanted to see what kind of change you could make in me. However, what I didn't expect was this. As time passed, I really had all kinds of emotions like a human being. And I'm finally caught up in your fiery emotions. I was born in the magma of the center of the earth, and I never knew what heat was, but your love made me feel it. Heartfelt warmth. I'm finding that I'm getting more and more inseparable from you. The time I spent traveling with you on the continent was the happiest for me, and remember, the last time I went into a sudden retreat, it was because I had finally completed another qualitative evolution. If it is said that when I defeated the two great kings, my strength could only be equivalent to that of the lowest god, then, after this evolution, I already have the power of a second-level god. The staff of the earth goddess in the hands of the girl named Miao Miao belongs to the second-level god who denigrates the earth goddess. That's why I'm able to help you resist the ultimate special move just now. Because, although the Ten Thousand Thunder Hell Tribulation Realm has entered the category of the ultimate nirvana, it is not issued by the gods after all. The super special skill belongs to the range of the holy level, while the ultimate special skill only belongs to the gods. ”

"Ji Dong, do you know why I have never dared to truly accept your love head-on and say those three words to you?" The tenderness in Blaze's eyes finally began to change, and a faint sadness flickered in his eyes.

"Why?" asked Ji Dong blurted out.

"Because I'm not human, I don't have a human body. What you see of me is completely condensed with energy. I can simulate your human appearance with energy, even the touch of a physical body, but I am not a human after all! I can't give birth to you like a human girl, how can I accept your love. I don't want you to fall in love with the energy, or with this perfect body that I have created myself. ”

"No, Blaze, no. You're right, when I first met you, it was true that I fell in love with you, but what I love now is all that you have. Even if you don't have a body and only a soul, I still love you. Never regret it. ”
