The experience of the Candle Dragon Emperor?

That's probably the one who stood at the top from birth, proud of the sky, right?

In the past, Zhao Aotian would probably think so.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

"I didn't achieve today's achievement in the first place, at the beginning, I was just a young dragon born in a dungeon with only 5 attributes."

Zheng Qian sighed and told Zhao Aotian in detail about his life in the dungeon for half a year.

Although some unnecessary content has been modified or deleted, Zheng Qian still told the overall story meticulously.

Since recognizing Zhao Aotian as a friend, Zheng Qian has always wanted to talk to him about his past.

I didn't expect to confide in him on this occasion today.

Zhao Aotian was not interested at first.

But listening to it, I couldn't help but be a little shocked.

By the time the Candle Dragon Emperor finished talking about the battle of Leviathan, Zhao Aotian was already stunned.

After a long time, he lowered his head: "I didn't expect you to have such an experience." ”

The Candle Dragon Emperor also snorted a little gloomily: "It's all in the past."

When my nurse and four siblings died, I was just like you, and I was very uncomfortable.

But where will the environment of the dungeon give you time to shed tears? Just surviving requires doing everything you can.

But, sometimes I still think about them.

If I had enough strength to protect them, I would be happier now than I am now, right? ”

Zhao Aotian lowered his head and looked at his sloppy reflection in the stream: "It's all because of lack of strength." ”

"That's right, because there's no power."

The Candle Dragon Emperor said: "However, we have all survived, if there is no strength for us to lose our relatives in the past, then the best way to make up for it is to protect our current relatives after gaining strength." ”

"Huh." Zhao Aotian laughed dryly: "It's easy to say, you are a dragon, and you are born with a faster growth rate, more effective growth efficiency, and higher growth space."

I'm human.

I understand that you gave me the Candle Dragon Essence Blood so that I could break the limits of humanity.

The battle with Xiao Bi gave me the deepest feeling that human beings are human beings after all, and there are countless powers in this world that we have never been exposed to.

What if I can break through alone? There are so many people in this world, do they all depend on me alone?

Human beings, just human beings. ”

Zhao Aotian's dejected appearance made Zheng Gan feel a little heartbroken for him.

"You weren't like that before."

"Yes."

"The Zhao Aotian I know, but he dares to be tough in the face of the demon god and can make me bleed."

Zhao Aotian's bitter smile revealed a touch of sadness: "Maybe I was like this before."

But I'm really tired now. ”

Saying that, Zhao Aotian looked up at the sky, and said for a long time: "Go back, Candle Dragon Emperor, thank you for coming to accompany me, but I just want to be alone and quiet now." ”

There was not a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

The fighting spirit has long been exhausted along with the revenge.

Zheng Qian knew this appearance just by looking at it: his soul was no longer in the shell.

If it were before, Zheng Qian would definitely turn around and leave at this time, respecting his thoughts, right?

But......

"I'm not leaving."

The Candle Dragon Emperor shouted in a categorical voice: "Zhao Aotian, you are the only human who has made me bleed, and you will not be defeated here." ”

"So what? I'm just a weak person who can't even protect a girl. ”

"You've never been weak."

"I'm not weakling, what am I?!"

Without warning, Zhao Aotian suddenly roared: "You and I have so many similar experiences, but you succeeded, and I am still so weak."

What am I not a weakling?

If you have the power to no longer experience the loss, how can you understand how I feel without the power?

You now have the power to despise all living beings from above, and you don't have to live in fear anymore.

But what about me? Growing up, I lost almost everything in order to gain power, and I thought I had enough power to properly pursue the feeling I had obtained.

But in the end, it was still nothing.

I don't have any desires, I've lost everything, I've given so much, but why...

… Not even such a small wish can be allowed. ”

At this point, Zhao Aotian couldn't cry anymore.

His emotions were completely devastated.

On the battlefield, a top fighter who can't cry when he has a broken hand or foot or even a broken head, cries like a helpless child.

Tears kept dripping into the stream, drowning in the water.

Zheng Qian did not continue to speak.

Cry.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

It's good to cry out.

"Growing up is always accompanied by pain."

Zheng Qian stretched out his hand and gently patted him on the back.

Zhao Aotian cried out as if he was suffocating, and kept chanting the name that would leave him forever.

It was not until sunset that he gradually calmed down.

Looking at his crying red eyes, Zheng Qian smiled and stood up.

"Zheng Qian, let me tell you, you haven't been here recently, he's dying, Kota is coming to visit tomorrow, he said he really can't handle it alone."

"I'm not coming." Zhao Aotian still said with some sobs.

But the Candle Dragon Emperor smiled and said: "I don't care about this, he said that he is waiting for you in Yuelai Tower, and he will wait until twelve o'clock at noon at the latest." ”

"I said I wouldn't come."

"He knows what you said, I'm just helping him pass on a word, as for whether to go or not, you can think about it yourself."

The Candle Dragon Emperor paused and continued, "But he said he believed you would definitely come. ”

After speaking, Zheng Qian turned around, opened the space transfer, and left the place.

In the bamboo forest, Zhao Aotian sat alone by the stream.

Look at yourself in the stream.

In a trance, Zhao Aotian seemed to vaguely hear the voice of his own thoughts.

【Aotian~】

… Following...

In front of the Yuelai Building.

"Did you think he would come?" Zheng Sepi asked curiously.

"Based on my instincts that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Kacher family, not necessarily." Kaczyski looked in the mirror and carefully tended his mustache, which he had grown in imitation of his father.

Zheng Qian, who was standing at the front of the line, did not answer.

But on his face, he was full of confidence.

In early summer, as the temperature gradually rises at noon, the scenery at the end of the street gradually becomes distorted by the fiery air.

Zheng Qian glanced at the time, exactly twelve o'clock.

Look up.

"Look, isn't he coming?"

The crowd heard the rumors.

I saw that at the end of the street with distorted scenery, the figure of a man was walking towards this side.

Zheng Qian smiled slightly.

"Lao Zhao, welcome back."
