Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 468 436: New World (Part 3)

He had always remained calm, but seeing himself about to be controlled in this moment made him more furious than if he were about to be killed.

Under the glow emitted by the 'Fire of Life,' Andrew vaguely saw a Seed of Greed deep within the opponent's body.

It was this seed that twisted Lidzmat's soul and power.

"Lidzmat had always avoided my questions before, never telling me when he first felt that 'endless hunger.' Could his transformation have started with this seed? Was this seed the beginning of everything? But where did this seed come from?"

A series of questions flashed through Andrew's mind.

However, Andrew quickly pushed these questions aside, for there was only one task at hand: taking advantage of the reversal of forces between the two, Andrew resolutely executed the final step of devouring the Dragon.

Lidzmat cursed wildly until his mouth was filled with water, the entire Dragon wrapped up and vanishing into the mist of cascading waterfalls.

At that moment, it was as if all the gears clicked into place all at once.

The vast amounts of water in the world rapidly sank.

The Water God Realm completely envelops the Fire God Realm.

The geothermal power emitted by the core formed by the Fire God Realm and Lidzmat evaporated part of the Water God Realm's water, creating a more stable atmosphere.

The world, once plunged in darkness and chaos, now had sparse clouds and rare stars.

A brand new planet, not yet the Flame Realm nor the Water God Realm, yet rooted from both, was born just like that!

It was an incomparably beautiful planet, yet... not yet a plane.

"Only one step left." Andrew murmured as he looked at this brand new world before him, "Bringing back all the deceased creatures would truly complete the task."

He raised his hand to his forehead, extracting the 'Fire of Life' and balancing it on his fingertips.

Andrew gazed at the Fire of Life for a moment, then lightly flicked it.

The flame leaped, then fell into a landmass surrounded by sea below, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

On the surface, the entire world seemed to have no change.

Yet Andrew could feel it: that Fire of Life was like the finishing touch, bringing this world "to life."

It wouldn't take long for the Plane Will of the Flame Realm, once destroyed by Lidzmat, to be the first to resurrect.

Then, all those who perished at the hands of Lidzmat, all those who died in this battle, would gradually return... right?

Andrew thought hazily.

After the 'Fire of Life' absorbed and expelled half of Lidzmat's power, Andrew's injuries healed instantly, his tier soaring straight to the peak of the Divine Level.

However, now Andrew willingly relinquished the 'Fire of Life,' letting it merge into this newborn world, bestowing it with a soul, and aiding its transformation from "planet" to "plane."

After completing all this, Andrew's aura fell from the peak of the Divine Level, all the way back to its original state: the level of a Magic Apprentice when he first crossed into the Flame Realm.

It was like a dream.

A dream that began from the moment he obtained the Tear of the Water God, along with the Fire Extinguishing Upgrade Method that came with it.

And at this moment, he awakened from the dream.

Yet Andrew understood clearly: it was no dream.

"I listened to you and didn't give up, Barbara," Andrew thought, "Thanks to you, the plan I came up with on a whim actually succeeded."

As he thought about it, he began to fall.

But not in the direction of the newly born plane, rather away from it. In his vision, that beautiful new world was gradually fading into the distance.

It was like what was said before, creation comes with a cost.

Now was the time to pay the price.

Strangely, as this moment arrived, Andrew only felt a sense of peace: "It's over, it's all over."

Looking back at this journey in the Otherworld after crossing into the Flame Realm, in general, there were no regrets.

Everything began at Wildfire Town, ended at Wildfire Territory, and then… would start again.

"It's just that in this reboot journey of the new world, I won't be there anymore."

Andrew looked at the beautiful new world moving increasingly away from him, suddenly feeling a bit worried, "Will Barbara and the others be resurrected? Not being able to see everyone's revival with my own eyes is still a bit unsettling. Oh, right, I actually forgot to leave a message to tell everyone how amazing things I did to ensure their resurrection! That was really a miss..."

Worry seemed to have turned into reality, as Andrew suddenly found himself unable to see the new world he had personally created.

This was because a familiar silhouette had replaced that world, appearing in Andrew's sight, occupying his entire vision in an instant.

It was... Shuangshuang!

She wasn't dead after all? Even after being possessed by the Plane Will and battling Lidzmat, the Plane Will perished, yet she survived? This means that Shuangshuang had preserved her life three times in a row under Lidzmat's hands?

Shuangshuang reached out, grabbed Andrew's hand, pulling his body, which was falling away into the boundless starry sky, back toward the newborn plane!

"Got you!" Shuangshuang's voice echoed with relief.

However, what astonished Andrew beyond words was Shuangshuang's voice: it wasn't her own, but the mysterious, melodious female voice from the Water God Mark.

That voice was... the voice of the Water God Li!

"You... how...?" Andrew gripped 'Shuangshuang's' hand back, wanting to ask what this situation was about, but he couldn't sustain it any longer. His eyes went black, and he knew nothing more.
