Chapter 317 The Secret of the Flames
Earth-center lake.
A faint red light stretched quietly. The soft petals slowly opened, revealing the two people wrapped inside.
The Earth-Central Lake is still the original Earth-Central Lake, and there is no change. The thick magma occasionally has a few bubbles. The scorching air filled with fire elements makes Ji Dong, who is a fire-type magician, feel extremely comfortable. He and Lie Yan are back. As Lie Yan said, they are back home.
Lieyan did not put away his natal red lotus and gently pressed Ji Dong's shoulder, "Ji Dong, sit down."
Ji Dong did as he said, and sat down on the lotus platform in the center of Lieyan's true name Red Lotus. To his surprise, as he sat down, Lieyan also sat down, and sat directly on his lap, wrapping his hands around his neck, and snuggling his whole body in his arms.
"Lieyan, what's wrong with you? Is it because you output too much magic power and feel uncomfortable?" Ji Dong asked with concern. Lieyan has never been as attached to him as he is today. The softest part of his heart is constantly touched by the delicate Lieyan. But he knew very well that Lieyan could release the ultimate killing skill, so how could she be really weak?
Lieyan shook his head gently in Ji Dong's arms, but did not look up. He 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 more, why did I tell you that I can't release my power in the human world. Right?"
Ji Dong's eyes gradually became gentle, and he hugged the flames in his arms tightly, feeling the heat on her body, "No, these are nothing more important. I have never asked you, right? I respect all your secrets and never doubt you anything."
Lieyan almost murmured, "But, I want to tell you all now. Tell you all about me."
"I don't even know when I appeared in this world. Because, after my birth, I had no consciousness at all. It was the hottest magma in the Earth Lake that moistened the unknown rocks, thus giving birth to a red lotus in the Earth Center. I quietly soaked in the Earth Center magma for thousands of years and ten thousand years. I don't know when, I finally had consciousness and would actively start to absorb the fire element in the Earth Center Lake. But this process is too far away from the cultivation speed of you humans."
"After an unknown amount of time, my spiritual consciousness began to grow gradually, which was equivalent to your human souls. I gradually could sense everything outside. I found that the world I lived in was so wonderful. Each layer of the eighteenth floor of the earth's center had different creatures. As the spiritual consciousness became stronger and stronger, I could feel more and more things until my spiritual consciousness could penetrate the eighteenth floor of the earth's center and feel the human world outside. I realized that this world was not quiet, but so colorful."
"Do you remember? I once told you that I have traveled in the human world. In fact, it is just my spiritual consciousness reverberating in your human world. I really envy you humans, who can withstand the warmth of the sun, have such unique talents, and have the emotions to communicate with each other. Perhaps, it was from that moment that my spiritual consciousness could no longer calm down."
"Time passes day by day, and my spiritual consciousness is constantly growing. I try to restrain my yearning for the outside world. Because I know that it does not belong to me. Through understanding the earth's center world and observing the human world, I have learned a lot of principles and understood many of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. I also know that I should not exist in this world. I am afraid that my spiritual consciousness will be discovered and will fall into a desperate situation. So, I escaped and quietly absorbed every element of fire in the earth's center lake, and strengthened myself as much as possible. Only in this way can I have a sense of security."
Lieyan's voice was still so beautiful, but at this moment, there was a bit of strange emotional changes in her voice, like crying and complaining. Ji's heartstrings were rhythmic with her voice.
"Until one day, the unstable earth-centered world woke me up from my quiet practice. When I radiated my spiritual consciousness again, I was surprised to find that the eighteenth level of the earth-centered world was completely disrupted. There were wars everywhere, and countless earth-centered creatures were killed and injured. The entire eighteenth level of the earth-centered earth-centered world was completely in chaos. I don't understand what's going on, but I had anger for the first time. This is my home! Someone destroying my home, how can I not be angry?"
"So, my spiritual consciousness began to search for the reasons for the war. Soon, I realized. It turned out that this war was initiated by the two kings who ruled the earth's center world to compete for the dominance of the earth's center world. So, I took action, and for the first time in my life. Even I myself did not expect that I had become so powerful at that time. I realized the true meaning of fire and had the most original power of fire. I killed the two kings respectively, shocked the entire earth's center world with my spiritual consciousness. Finally, peace was restored here again, and I inherited the dominance of the two kings and became a generation of queens in the earth's center world. I gave myself a name called: Lie Yan."
Hearing this, Ji Dong was already a little confused. He could not imagine how the tens of millions of years of loneliness were spent. Loneliness is sometimes much more terrifying than death.
"The earth's center is calm, but my heart cannot be calm. Before the death of the Fire King and the Dark Flame Demon King, they told me that both them and me were shameless. Because we were all born from the nourishment of the fire in the center of the earth, not the species created by God. If we were to be described in human language, then we should be the demons of the abyss. They were fine, after all, their strength after awakening was not enough to violate God's bottom line. However, they told me that I was different, because when I attacked them, I already had the reason to make God afraid. Because at that time I was already God."
Although Ji Dong had guessed something, when Lieyan said in person that she was already a god, his heart was still shocked.
Lieyan has always been the goddess in his heart, the perfect goddess. Unexpectedly, she is really a god.
Lieyan seemed to see through Ji Dong's thoughts. He looked up at him, his eyes still so gentle, "Actually, I am not a God, I just have the same power as God. Only you humans can truly become God. But we cannot do it, we can only be the demons of the abyss! Once the gods know that I exist, then there is only one ending, which is to be destroyed. From that moment on, I dare not go to the ground again. Even if the spiritual consciousness dares to go again. I don't want to be destroyed, I cherish this hard-earned life and wisdom. Even if the earth's center is lonely, I will still be alive after all."
Listening to Lieyan saying this, Ji Dong's eyes were already blurred, and his arms around Lieyan trembled slightly. Until now, he realized what risks Lieyan took when he was traveling on the mainland with him, and everything she did was for himself! Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his whole heart tightened in an instant, "Lieyan, then you just used your strength outside, you..."
Lieyan sat upright and gently moved his position slightly on Ji Dong's leg, making him get closer to Ji Dong, "Little Ji Dong, don't interrupt me, okay? Listen to me after I finish speaking."
Ji Dong held Lieyan's red skirt tightly, hugged her, and placed his jaw on her shoulder. He was afraid that Lieyan would leave him in the next moment. Unprecedented panic had filled every corner of his heart.
Lieyan continued: "Time has passed day by day. You know, in the center of our earth, there is actually no concept of heaven. Because we don't distinguish between day and night. Some are just life and death. I have become accustomed to such loneliness, and I don't know what will happen to me in the future. Everything in the earth's center is in my perception. I gradually became a little confused. I suddenly realized that I didn't understand what the meaning of living peacefully like this. At this moment, suddenly, a not-so-strong spatial fluctuation spread into the earth's center lake and entered my spiritual consciousness. A human child, who was even less powerful in my eyes, was even the weakest creature in the earth's heart, came here. He also held a glass of wine in his hand, bringing the fragrance of wine that I had never felt before."
"That's me..." Ji Dong said in a trembling voice.
Lieyan smiled and said, "Yes! That's you. I still clearly remember how you looked when you first came here. You looked at me foolishly. Originally, I should have destroyed you. But maybe it was because I was so lonely at that time, or maybe it was your glass of wine that really attracted me, so I couldn't help talking to you. It was from that moment that my life changed. Every day, I tasted the fine wine you made for me. That feeling made me understand what you humans said.
What is happiness? What surprised me even more is that the wine you make always contains a special emotion. It is something I can't do even if I can integrate emotions into the liquid! I am God. So for a long time I was exploring what this emotion is. My spiritual consciousness once again quietly went to your human world. After continuous exploration, I finally understood. That emotion is called *, which is the love love that only occurs between humans and men."
"I began to be scared, and the emotion you brought to me made me start to be scared. Because I suddenly felt that my emotions and spiritual consciousness were beginning to be affected by your emotions called love. Every day before you came, I actually learned the longing of you humans, and your arrival became what I most hoped for. I was so scared, I was afraid that I would be destroyed because of this. We are not creatures in the same world at all, and I could not accept your love at all. So I chose to escape, and I dared not see you for a long time. But the more I was.
In this way, the longing for you in my heart became stronger and stronger. Moreover, in my spiritual consciousness, more and more emotions like you humans began to appear. When one day, when I saw you in danger and almost died, I suddenly realized that I was escaping, and I was escaping all the time. Doing this will only make me more painful. At the same time, I also understood that I gradually possessed human emotions not because I wanted to destroy, but because I was evolving. My spiritual consciousness and my power evolved with the changes in this emotion."
"So I decided not to escape anymore. I wanted to see what kind of changes you can make me. But what I didn't expect was that as time passed by, I really had various emotions like human beings. Moreover, I finally fell into your passionate emotions. I was born in the magma of the earth. I never knew what heat was, but your love made me feel the warmth. The warmth from the heart. I found that I was increasingly unable to leave you. The time I accompanied you on the mainland was the happiest for me. Do you still remember that I suddenly went into seclusion last time, that was
Because, I finally completed the evolution of qualitative change again. If my power was only equivalent to the lowest level god when defeating the two kings, then after this evolution, I already had the power of a second level god. The Staff of the Earth Goddess mastered by the girl named Miaomiao belongs to the second level god slander of the Earth Goddess. Therefore, I can help you resist the ultimate ultimate skill just now. Because, although the Thunder Tribulation Prison Realm has entered the category of ultimate ultimate skill, it is not issued by the God after all. The super ultimate skill belongs to the holy level, and the ultimate ultimate skill belongs to the God."
"Ji Dong, do you know why I have never dared to truly accept your love directly and say those three words to you?" The gentleness in Lieyan's eyes finally began to change, and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Why?" Ji Dong asked blurted out.
Lieyan said: "Because I am not a human, I do not have a human body. The me you see is completely condensed by energy. I can use energy to simulate the appearance of you humans, or even physically like a physical touch, but I am not a human after all! I can't give birth to children for you like a human girl. How can I accept your love like this? I don't want you to fall in love with a bunch of energy or fall in love with the perfect body I created myself."
"No, Lieyan, no. You are right. When I first met you, it was indeed your perfect appearance. But what I love now is all about you. Even if you have no body and only soul, I still love you. I will never regret it."
