Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Phantom Image: Absolutely not... Tsk tsk, what did I say? It's so heavy it's suffocating!]

[Star: Criticize Danfeng, understand Danfeng, transcend Danfeng! Dragon Transformation Technique 2.0, activated!]

[Jingyuan: Ahem! Think twice before you act!]

Dan Heng said, "You've made your choice."

Danfeng lowered his head sadly. Yes, he had made his choice.

"I am the one who used the Dragon Transformation Technique. I am the one who swore to bring Bai Heng back to the world."

He looked up at the illusory sky of Onphalus, wishing that what he was about to say was also a lie.

"It was I who made everything irreversible."

Dan Heng asked, "Dan Feng, do you feel even a trace of regret?"

"..." Danfeng's eyes were still filled with pain, but there was no hesitation in his eyes: "Even if time could be reversed, I would not make the other choice."

"If it were Jingliu, Jingyuan... or even Yingxing who had died in battle, my answer would be the same."

"Because only I can make the choice and defend all of this."

[March 7th: I don't regret doing that at all; I simply regret not doing it better.]

[Yao Guang: Who isn't? This is called the curse of power. When you hold a possibility in your hands, not trying becomes a sin, and no matter how terrible the consequences might be, it's hard to stop you. After all, humans are far more fragile than power itself. Letting that tiny possibility vanish over time, the ensuing self-examination is enough to drive a person mad. Especially after believing that the current situation can't get any worse.]

[Qingque: General Yaoguang, your understanding is so thorough, it seems you also...]

[Yao Guang: Hehe, of course it's because I have a life to live! How about it, want to come and study at the Zhige Institute? Lots of travel allowances available~~]

[Qingque: You made it sound so scary, how could I dare to go? You're laughing and saying I still wouldn't dare!]

[Fu Xuan: Refuse the secondment! Focus on the current situation to resolve the Iron Tomb issue; do not attempt to poach talent!]

[Silver Wolf: According to that little green dragon, if Bai Heng is safe and sound, the Dragon Transformation Technique will be used on Ren?]

[Xing: They must be the ultimate frenemy friends. Everyone else just says their names, but when it comes to Ying Xing, he adds "even," which is so apt.]

Danfeng turned to look directly at Danheng and asked solemnly, "Now, for your companions, for the two who are traveling with you..."

"Danheng, how much are you willing to sacrifice?"

"Ha..." Dan Heng sighed softly, his brows furrowing slightly.

He wasn't hesitant; rather, the thought of such an extreme scenario made him instinctively uncomfortable.

He raised a resolute brow and casually uttered two words: "Everything."

Danfeng nodded, offering neither advice nor warning: "This answer is not surprising at all."

Dan Heng spoke with conviction: "They are not only my companions, but also the path I took to get here, leading me to this place."

"Therefore, they will also become my guideposts when I am lost, leading me to the future, until the next cycle of reincarnation."

A slight smile appeared on Danfeng's lips: "Then let me see how you intend to uphold this belief."

[Hanabi: Oh wow, you've already got the idea for a new name so early?]

[Jingyuan: Hmm... Let's hope we don't repeat the same mistakes.]

[Xing: Don't worry, Danheng. The three of us together are invincible!]

The light screen continued playing.

Danheng fought his way through the battles and defeated the Mountain People's hero, "The Mountain Pioneer" Geocleus, who had been resurrected due to his memories.

The demigod of the earth, Arabi, called a halt to the battle before his beloved partner, whom he had longed for, died once again. He had fulfilled the responsibility he bore after making the deal with Nagayoku, and after that, he would embrace the relief that came from that "betrayal."

Arabi recited the final demigod prophecy: "You will dig your own grave and be burned in the furnace of rebellion..."

"I hope my father's long-missed embrace will accept my return."

Dan Heng nodded solemnly: "Come, crouching behemoth: for the sake of the world's eternal life—"

"Rise from hibernation, and soar with me like a wild dragon!"

The desolate dragon lowered its head and pushed the Earth Fire Seed into Dan Heng's hands.

At the moment of intersection, the giant dragon, burning like lava, burst into countless points of light.

[Aglaia: Has the earth demigod, who never appeared before the world due to her injuries, finally met her end?]

[Caesar: For the sake of the journey to the fire and Onphalus, there are some things I must do. Ara-tei, resent me, you have every reason.]

[Arabi: Resentment... that intense emotion has long since faded. My choice is one I must bear on my own shoulders.]

[Fireworks: First it was all about gender discrimination, now it seems like there are even monsters. There's definitely something wrong with this galaxy!]

[Star: So, is Teacher Danheng's shining moment about to begin? Let me have a go!]

Xing chose to immerse himself in it, but his first feeling after synchronizing was not the surge of powerful strength.

Instead, the ground beneath their feet suddenly jolted.

She jolted awake, the feeling of weightlessness sending chills down her spine, but Dan Heng remained rooted to the spot. Relieved, she felt a pang of embarrassment (?).

However, this was not an ordinary earthquake.

Rocks rained down from the foot of the giant mountain, and the young earth beasts watched in terror at the sudden changes around them, their brains overloaded. The ground beneath their feet cracked and swelled, and the little creatures swayed and fell.

The animals, unaware of what was happening, scattered in terror and fled.

In the deep twilight, the land, devoid of its king, roars in fury, and the giant trees that shelter countless creatures fall!

Arabi's final words echoed through the sky: "—Then, proclaim the name of the new god to the [Earth]!"

Danheng's slender figure stood before the giant tree, and he understood what he had to do.

Those who were engrossed in the moment suddenly realized what was about to happen.

He turned the tide and saved the collapsing edifice! He used his own strength to quell the earth's roar!

[Star: Come on!]

As the Cloud-Striking Technique appeared in his hand, Dan Heng's Dragon Lord power was no longer concealed. It transformed into a streak of azure meteor and crashed violently into the toppled giant tree!

The tingling and numb sensation in their hands from the massive impact made a bunch of "battle-loving" people in the group shout with excitement.

[Star: Absolutely right, that's the spirit! That's what a protagonist should be doing!]

[Potio: Wow~~ That was awesome, so awesome!]

A solemn farewell song was played.

My arm was trembling as I struggled with the overwhelming weight of the spear, and memories of the past flashed through my mind.

Beneath the Dragon Lord statue in Lin Yuan Realm, the Five Heroes of the Clouds raised their cups in a toast, their laughter ringing out.

Lord Yinyue faced the evil dragon amidst the waves, and his painstakingly planned scheme failed.

The Dragon Transformation Technique failed to save anyone; Danfeng disappeared during the molting process, while Danheng was born into the world.

Belleberg, Fairy Boat Luofu, Pinocchio... the train crew encountered crisis after crisis, and weathered each one safely. They were once inseparable, just like the Five Heroes of the Clouds back then.
