Zhao Li Xin flashes a lopsided grin, "You are hiding more secrets than I expected..." Zhao Li Xin was neither surprised nor angry, he got a gut feeling that Huo Long would tell him eventually. 

"When you get old, you tend to do that," Huo Long replied casually.

​​

"How long have you two known each other, wait….how do you guys know someone from Lory's world?" Zhao Li Xin narrowed his eyes suspiciously, both Huo Long and Arthea are from two different worlds so how do they know each other?"

Huo Long wiggled his index finger and give a playful grin, "Tsk – Tsk, Boy, what if I told you that there is a place that is not bound by the laws of time, physics, and logic within that place there is a door, many doors to be precise and that door allows you to traverse to a different world you choose regardless of time and place. place, but of course, there are only a few people who can do that" 

"One of them is Arthea?" Zhao Li Xin confirmed his guess.

Huo Long gazed into the ocean and took a deep breath, "Yes, it is part of her clairvoyance Gift, actually that ability only comes later which is rare but helps her to predict the future accurately…too accurate I think..." he looked into the distance pensively.

For a second Zhao Li Xin felt Huo Long's mood a bit strange but Zhao Li Xin put those thoughts behind his head as he had more important matters to ask. 

"You know, Arthea told me a lot of interesting things, but what I never understood was, why now?" Zhao Li Xin furrowed his brows, "I've made breakthroughs in this place countless times before, but why am I only now dreaming about Lory's past?"

Huo Long raised two fingers in the air "There are two reasons" Huo Long said, "One, it is because you brought Lory here, and the second is because you are getting stronger, and the stronger you are the clearer the dream will be"

"I still don't understand Lory's connection with the mystique realm?" Zhao Li Xin was mind-boggling by Huo Long words.

"All I can say is that Lory's presence affected this world more than you can imagine, she is the catalyst of everything that happens in this world, everything started with her and everything will end with her"

Zhao Li Xin's face darken as charcoal, "I won't let Lory get hurt for any reason, what's the point of saving anything at the expense of hurting her, it's not worth it!" his eyes shone with anger.

Huo Long sighed, he looked up at the red sky, "The savior and destroyer of the world" he stifles a chuckle.

" Arthea said the same thing to me, what does that mean?" Zhao Li Xin stunned he looked at Huo Long with a probing look. 

Huo Long felt conflicted he knew Zhao Li Xin deserved to know but if he revealed too much then the future direction might change again and he couldn't take that risk "If Lory is the catalyst then you are the decision-maker, You will decide the end result, whatever it is" Huo Long shrug his shoulder.

"What decision should I make, stop talking in such a vague way to me, don't you feel tired?! why don't you tell me clearly, is it necessary to hide it this far!" Zhao Li Xin was really annoyed by Huo Long's vague answer.

Huo Long feeling helpless he pinched his glabella exasperatedly, "I can't take the risk Boy, don't you understand?! If I say too much then there will be a high possibility that the future will change again, and we are not just talking about the future of this world, we are talking about all parallel worlds especially Verrion, the world that Lory protected with her life!" Huo Long shout in a desperate manner.

"The whole world, what do you mean?" Zhao Li Xin gaped, the more she heard the more she didn't understand.

The confusion on Zhao Li Xin's face couldn't be more apparent, Huo Long knew how difficult it was for Zhao Li Xin to understand his words, heck, if it wasn't for Arthea's explanation he wouldn't have understood either.

"Yeah, you think the universe only has this world and Lory's world, do you believe me when I say there are hundreds of worlds if not thousands of worlds out there that exist in the same way as us? a parallel world they say..." 

Zhao Li Xin agape, it was rare to see him speechless, but everyone would act like him if they hear what Huo Long had said.

"I know you are confused, the theory is quite simple. Parallel worlds are realities or worlds that exist simultaneously with us but each world works independently without affecting each other. They have different histories, different environments, different knowledge, and also different abilities, just like Lory has the Gift, and you have cultivation" Huo Long waved his hands in the air as he tried to explain.

"As time went on with like everything that lives some worlds eventually die, it can be from various reasons, natural disasters, wars or whatever after one world dies another new world is created and a new life begins, and this continues forever and ever  for the eternity" 

he still doesn't understand what Huo Long is trying to convey "So, what is your point?" Zhao Li Xin impatiently asks.

Huo Long sighed heavily "You are the last descendant of the first king of this world, and just like any other first king you have the ability to decide the course of this world…..because this world….this world is dying, Li Xin"

"Finally this world has come to an end" he opened his arms as he gives a wry smile.

"Why?" Even though he looked surprised, Zhao Li Xin seemed calmer compared to when he heard the news about Lory.

"Why" Huo Long sneered "Because war has ravaged this world, innocent people die from plague and starvation because their leaders are too busy to enrich themselves and expand their power, Tyrants and murderers rule the world, they don't care about other people, let alone with nature around them, engulfed by greed they dredge the mountain, burn the woods and drain the river until nothing left, after all, that happened you thought human learned their lesson? you wrong, they don't care....until everything is too late"

Zhao Li Xin tilted her head slightly, she had something wrong with Huo Long's memory "I think you have mistaken old Lizard, the world you are describing is not the world we live in today, nothing like that happens in our world" 

"No, that's the real future of the world…..if Lory wasn't here" Huo Long shook his head and said, "Can you imagine what would have happened if Ming Yue Yin, Yuan Shao, Yang Xi Ying, Li Mo Zhen, and the others if they didn't meet or be saved by Lory, do you wonder what you would become if you never met Lory" Huo Long lifted his chin.

Zhao Li Xin became quiet, more than anyone she knew about himself, he was not a good person, he had few attachments if not none at all, he had no interest in what would happen to the world. For Zhao Li Xin care the world could crash and burn, it got nothing to do with him, after all, he knew at that time he would not live long because the poison had slowly entered his organs, and sooner or later he would die so why should he worry about the world, the only thing that mattered for him it was to drag all his enemies to hell with him before he died.

Huo Long folded his arms on his chest, he looked up at the red sky above the volcano and suddenly an old memory flashed through his mind, he let out a long sigh, he turned his gaze at Zhao Li Xin "Lory is our hope, everything started with her and everything will end with her too..." 

Zhao Li Xin didn't like what he heard why it sounded like something terrible was going to happen to Lory, instantly his face became tense.

"And what will happen to Lory, does anyone care?!" Zhao Li Xin's voice was suppressed by anger, "Why does it sound like my wife has to sacrifice herself for everyone in this world!"

Huo Long understood his anger, although he agrees this was unfair, unfortunately, this is the only chance they got, "Not 'should', but 'would'…" there was bitterness in his voice. 

"Being a savior isn't something you choose to be, but it's meant to be… and Lory is meant to save the world, any world as long as there are people she loves living in that world, I'll guarantee she will give everything to protect them. "

Zhao Li Xin clenched her jaw feeling immeasurable anger and anxiety, "I won't lose my wife!" he is persistent.

Huo Long's face contorted, deep sadness flashed across his eyes, "Sometimes... when you love someone, you have to let them go"

Huo Long's words shook him to the core, he remembered Lory once asking him the same thing. Why did Lory say that to him and why did Huo Long also say the same to him, was this a coincidence? fear crept up his body and pierced his skin like thousands of ants biting his flesh, Zhao Li Xin's face ashen as he sensed a bad omen slowly but surely approaching him.
