Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 471 437: Beyond the World (Part 3)

After a pause, he continued, "The Rebirth Pool will gradually resurrect all living beings in the Flame Realm and Water God Realm, but this process won't be particularly quick. However, this new world has already started to develop its own native life!"

Andrew smilingly introduced, suddenly understanding the joy of being a pond master.

Barbara's face turned even paler: "You mentioned earlier that you didn't really defeat or kill Lidzmat, but instead pressed him into the core of this world, making him the core of this world."

"Yes, so?"

"So these Dragons... could they be an overflow and manifestation of Lidzmat's power?!"

Barbara worriedly said, "Aren't you concerned that Lidzmat might break out of his confinement and escape? For instance, could he project his will onto one of these Dragons before us and wreak havoc again?"

Andrew said seriously, "Your concern... is legitimate! In fact, before you revived, Lidzmat had already tried doing exactly that, and not just once."

"What?!" Barbara's voice suddenly heightened by two octaves.

Andrew took her frostbitten red hand, breathed warm air on it, and consoled, "It's okay, desires have moments when they temporarily escape their bounds, but eventually, they'll return to where they belong. It may leap about, but we will always be the victors."

Barbara paused for a moment, pondered, and finally nodded, "That's good." She then withdrew her hand with a slightly red face, "It's ticklish."

Andrew chuckled, hopped onto a Flying Dragon with Barbara, and commanded the Giant Dragon to fly south, saying, "Lidzmat himself is no longer a problem. During this time, while recovering and cultivating, I extracted many of Lidzmat's memories. Upon reviewing them, I discovered that he was originally just an ordinary Earth-Fire Dual Attribute Dragon and one day was possessed by a 'seed,' transforming into the current Lidzmat."

"A seed?"

"Yes, a seed that emanates infinite Power of Greed."

Andrew's expression grew serious as he said, "The seed inside Lidzmat has been dealt with by me. Although my tier is low, as the creator of this world, I can utilize the Power of the World anytime, as long as I stay within this world's scope, my combat power is still considerable. Without delving into specifics, I've handled the Seed of Greed within Lidzmat."

Now the issue is: there might be more such seeds.

Barbara was shocked: "More than one?" She speculated, "Could these be some kind of natural product, like a collective product of life forms' greed in the universe?"

Andrew shook his head, "I initially thought so too. But the more Shuangshuang and I researched, the more we realized: it's likely not a natural product, but someone deliberately dispersing these seeds across the universe."

Barbara was alarmed, "Are you saying that Lidzmat was really just a more powerful Earth Fire Professional?"

"I hope not, but..."

At that moment, they heard a swoosh as Shuangshuang rode a Giant Dragon, flying past them once more. This time, Shuangshuang not only rode one dragon but was driving a group of Giant Dragons.

It was as if she was herding a flock of Flying Giant Dragons!

"Relax, relax, even if someone is intentionally spreading those Seeds of Greed, it's not something we need to worry about right now." Shuangshuang's voice was chilly but her tone was carefree, "Instead of worrying, why not help me manage this world first!"

With that, she accelerated and rushed ahead.

Barbara looked at Shuangshuang's back and blinked, "She's so diligent."

Andrew, listening to Shuangshuang's words, temporarily stopped thinking about the Seeds of Greed, and laughed, "She's actually quite upset. After I awakened her from the Ice Coffin, she arrived first at the battlefield, only to be directly beaten by Lidzmat. Then, twice when she reappeared, she was possessed by others. She felt that her revival from the Ice Coffin was completely in vain! So, she's been working hard to regain her presence. She has indeed helped me a lot."

"What's her tier?" Barbara asked. As a competitive girl, seeing Shuangshuang's diligence and determination to advance, instilled a sense of competition in her.

"Um, Divine Level... peak?" Andrew replied somewhat unsurely.

"Pretend I didn't ask..."

"By the way, about Catherine." Andrew suddenly changed the subject, seemingly offhandedly saying, "I've collected her soul fragments, but of course, she cannot enter the Rebirth Pool. I decided to send her to 'Heart Fire Reincarnation,' to atone for her sins. What do you think?"

Barbara remained silent for a while, gently sighed, and nodded.

The two had already flown out of the Arctic Circle, and indeed, the weather was much warmer.

The newborn world was full of energy but also slightly unstable.

Andrew, Shuangshuang, and now Barbara were tasked with dealing with some local issues requiring intervention without overwhelming interference.

They were like the world's guardians.

While working, they traveled the world, and upon returning to the Rebirth Pool in the Arctic Circle again, Barbara asked Andrew, "I have just one question left unresolved."

"Mm? What question?"

Barbara rolled her eyes, "I've become pregnant during our travels, can you stop feigning ignorance?"

Barbara stared at Andrew, her expression serious, "You mentioned before that after our world was severely devastated, it was reborn. The rapid shift from extinction to rebirth, the dramatic space tear caused our entire world, upon rebirth, to... crossover? You said that, right?"

Andrew nodded.

After the birth of the new world, it indeed crossed over. The specifics of what happened, Andrew was in a state of unconsciousness at the time, not fully aware.

All he could say was, rebirth seems to always be accompanied by crossover.

It wasn't like the web novels seen on Earth where rebirth happens after crossover.

Instead, the huge amount of energy triggered by rebirth caused crossover.

It was rebirth first, then crossover.

Having once reborn himself, he crossed from Earth to the Flame Realm.

After the destruction of the Flame Realm and the Water God Realm, reborn in the form of a new world, it also led to crossover phenomena.

"In other words, our world is no longer in the original universe position of the Flame Realm and the Water God Realm, right?" Barbara asked.

"Mm." Andrew nodded.

"Then we have a problem." Barbara looked towards the sky, where various flying creatures populated the new world's sky, not limited to the Flying Giant Dragon Race anymore.

However, further beyond the sky, there was something unusual.

In the sky, there was a sun.

But no moon.

Also, no stars.

Just... only a sun.

There was also a... seemingly tree-shaped and unfamiliar plane.

Yes, it was a plane, because you could sense: from that tree-shaped world, life aura was clearly transmitted.

The new world implied the principle of Water and Fire United, further infused with the Fire of Life, its vitality so dense, it couldn't be compared to ordinary planes.

Yet the life aura emanating from that tree-shaped plane seemed denser than the new world where Andrew and the other three resided!

Simply put, from within the new world looking at the sky, there was no starry sky, but an infinite dark void.

The solitary sun in the endless void emitted boundless light and heat, while it revolved around the tree-shaped plane.

And the new world where Andrew and others were, seemed to be that tree-shaped plane's... moon.

"That's the only question remaining." Barbara withdrew her gaze, looking at Andrew again, "Where exactly are we?"

Volume Six "Dragon Devourer," the final chapter.

End of the book.
