"No, no, you can't sleep, you can't..." Ying was at a loss. She didn't know what to do. She was good at killing and was fearless no matter how strong the enemy was, but she was not good at healing. She could only watch helplessly as Su Chen's life force disappeared, but she could do nothing.

"listen to me."

Su Chen said apologetically, "Ying, I failed to keep my promise to you and bring Zhen back."

Ying's expression froze for a moment.

Only then did he raise his head and look around.

The pitch-black sea of ​​fire, the burning ruins, and the desolate scene seemed to foreshadow everything.

They couldn't bring back the real one.

So, her older sister has already...

The sudden blow left Ying stunned on the spot.

"I'm sorry, I said those things."

"No, it's not your fault, Cardodia, even if it's just you... even if it's just you..." Tears streamed down her face as the usually strong Shadow Warrior cried out in distress, "Please stay, don't go..."

Sorry, Shadow, I can't do that right now.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

The ticking of the clock hand is crystal clear, every second ticking away.

Su Chen quietly looked at Ying, trying to remember the girl's appearance in the final moments of his life.

"Shadow, please believe that we will meet again..."

"In the end, you won this contest..."

The sound faded away.

Su Chen's body gradually dissipated in Ying's arms, turning into lightning and merging into the world.

Where he disappeared, a purple katana lay quietly—the last gift he could leave to Kage, Raiden Shin.

Consider it a reward for the winner of the final contest.

Ying, clinging to her dream, was gripped by intense inner pain, causing her to curl up in place.

Cardodia, I don't want to win.

...

In the year 1310 of the Dragon King Calendar, the Seven Gods descended upon Kanria, the underground kingdom was destroyed, and countless humans were cursed by the gods, transformed into Hilichurls in the wilderness.

The seven gods suffered heavy casualties, and the seven kingdoms were engulfed by an endless beast tide, mobilizing the entire nation's strength to fight against the dark beast horde.

Rice wife.

The desolate sea area.

Squads of warriors formed ranks and fought alongside the demonic army.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill these damned monsters!"

"For the General!!"

"The Chang Dao is magnificent, and the Ming Shen is eternal!"

Hiss~

On the battlefield, Torachiyo's figure flashed swiftly, reaping the lives of her enemies.

"Ha! Muda muda muda muda muda!" Granted the powerful ability of imitating Stand techniques by Cardodia, Torachiyo's clone Stand, created by gathering her demonic power, greatly facilitated her battles.

Wielding the precious sword bestowed upon her by the general, she slays the enemy and protects Inazuma—this is her duty.

Roar! !

Amidst a violent roar, a jet-black beast with a tiger's body and a snake's tail appeared. Torachiyo showed no fear and engaged it in battle. The bloodthirsty killing ignited the madness within her, transforming her into the fiercest demon, charging forward recklessly.

But just then, a gentle voice echoed in my mind.

"Chiyo, you are a brave noble warrior and the most trusted friend of Shin and Kage. So no matter what, you must protect yourself and not let your reason be blinded by hatred, and forget the people who are worried about you."

Torachiyo suddenly came to her senses.

"teacher..."

Suddenly, a feeling of heartache washed over her. Her bloodshot eyes gradually regained their clarity, and she no longer resorted to the desperate fighting style when facing the terrifying tiger-bodied, snake-tailed behemoth.

She needs to protect herself, just as her teacher said.

...

Wilderness of the White Fox.

A dark horde of beasts swept in, invading Narukami Island. Fox Monk led the hundred demons to defend the last line of defense.

In the seemingly endless battles, she had lost count of how many times she had repelled the enemy. Those pitch-black monsters, which she had never seen before, brought with them a malice that could tear everything apart, turning the once prosperous Inazuma into a land of devastation.

What a terrible calamity this is!

What terrible thing does this foreshadow that is about to happen?

Fox Palace looked up. The setting sun was like blood in the sky. The castle tower was silent. The departed Raijin had not yet returned, even though her people were praying... This had never happened before.

"Fox Abode Palace, the front is about to fall!"

The Great Tengu's anxious voice rang out.

Deep within the dark beast tide, a dark will is spreading. Although the demon race is powerful, it is still difficult to resist the army of demon beasts.

Just then, a series of ferocious roars came from afar.

Amidst the deafening tremors, an army of countless dragon lizards emerged. These primordial elemental creatures, following the will of the Dragon King Kadodia, fought valiantly against the monsters to protect Inazuma!

"Cardodia..."

Fox Palace, who was fighting hard, did not feel happy when it saw the appearance of the dragon lizard army. Instead, an overwhelming sadness welled up in its heart.

Rumble~~

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed across the sky, dark clouds pressed down, painting a picture of desolation and endless sorrow.

woo woo woo woo!

The dragon lizards suddenly raised their heads and let out mournful roars.

The sound emanated from Dragon City, covering Narukami Island and spreading to Kannazuka, Hachiyū Island, and even Umigi Island.

At that moment, all the rice farmers seemed to sense something.

"Lord Cardodia..."

"Lord Cardodia, he..."

"Cardodia".

Fox Palace stood there blankly, unable to react for a long time.

...

Narukami Taisha Shrine.

A little pink fox lay under the eaves, looking up at the thunder dancing in the sky, and made sad, whimpering sounds.

...

In the year 1320 of the Dragon King Calendar, the terrible calamity finally came to an end. Most of the beast tides were wiped out by various countries, while the remaining beasts scattered throughout the continent of Teyvat, becoming part of the continent's monsters.

[To protect Narukami Island, Fox Maiden was consumed by a dark will. At the critical moment, the seven dragon lizard guardians descended and prevented her demise, but due to excessive power consumption, she fell into a deep slumber in the White Fox Field.]

[Because of the addition of the dragon lizard army, Inazuma's casualties were far less than expected. Kage returned to Inazuma, inherited the title of Thunder General, and led his people to wipe out the monsters.]

She remained silent about what happened in Canria, but Torachiyo and Sasa Yuri could glean the answer from her words and actions.

[Another ten years passed, and Inazuma was completely stabilized. General Raiden announced his pursuit of the ideal of eternity, promising his subjects a dream—an unchanging eternity for thousands of generations.]

Inazuma, once a prosperous town, rose from the ashes after the disaster, its streets and alleys retaining their original scenery, but alas, everything has changed.

Torachiyo often sits in front of the castle tower, chin resting on her hands, gazing into the distance. Sasa Yuri is stationed at Narukami Shrine, assisting the newly appointed priest, Yae no Miko, in managing the shrine.

Since the disaster, Qinglai Island has been closed off.

The people of Inazuma, grateful for the protection of the Dragon King Kadodia, brought the Dragon King Festival to Narukami Island, holding it annually to commemorate him.

The old fire that once burned across the land still spreads, but the sky has fallen silent. Since the War of Kanria, the power of the Sky Isles has begun to weaken; the Sustainers are dying, the seven gods are changing hands, each with their own agenda.

[Beep~ This simulation has ended. Rewards are being calculated.]

As the sound faded into the distance, and his dormant thoughts slowly returned to his body, Su Chen opened his eyes, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

"it's over..."

Although it was over, his emotions were still immersed in the final battlefield, in the final farewell with the Raiden sisters, and in that desperate final blow.

"A Perfect Dragon trial card... That guy must be feeling pretty bad after taking that hit, right?"

Su Chen felt little emotional fluctuation regarding his final actions. If he couldn't even vent his emotions in the simulation, what was the point of gaining power?

Su Chen had no interest in defying the laws of nature; it was simply a choice made based on his personal will... It was the will of Cardodia, the pride of a dragon, unwilling to be controlled by fate.

One day, he will once again transform into the supreme dragon and rule over all.

The passage of 1,500 years left Su Chen in a daze for a long time before he finally refocused his attention.

Looking at the simulation panel, the settlement has already begun.

Congratulations on obtaining the achievements 'One Man Ruler' and 'Store Up Grain, Delay Claiming Kingship'.

[Simulation completed, overall score: 94 points]

"Only 94 points?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, not entirely satisfied with the result.

After all, the level he reached in this simulation was stronger than that of the Human Emperor era. Even without the fleeting appearance of the Perfect Dragon, his strength was comparable to that of the top seven gods.

The simulation score was actually lower?

"Could it be that the final choice went wrong?"
