We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

At the same time.

Another battlefield in the Far North.

The palace of Great Flame engulfed by fire.

In the main hall.

The once solid and magnificent palace walls are constantly collapsing under the burning flames.

The gorgeous decorations on them are melting bit by bit.

Like a red candle.

It is also like the blood and tears shed by this palace.

The king wearing a crown and a cloak is sitting alone on the throne in the center of the hall.

The throne is made of cold steel, and it still reflects the cold metallic luster in this raging fire.

The back of the chair is engraved with complex patterns, with fangs and claws, as if guarding the king who has become a lonely man.

The Fire King sits on the throne, his arms slightly leaning on the armrests, his eyes looking calmly in front of him.

No one can read the emotions in his deep eyes at this time.

This scene.

Just like the scene presented in the light curtain of Mo Yan before.

It was like the illusion that Xia En witnessed when he first obtained the [Certificate of the Fire King].

It was obvious.

It was not an illusion, but a scene that really happened in history, which was projected into Xia En's mind at that time through the power of the [Certificate of the Fire King].

Trample... Trample...

Just then.

A slow and difficult sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the burning palace.

A man with black flames wrapped around his body and burns all over his body staggered into the palace.

"King..."

The man raised his head and revealed a face that had been half burned by the flames.

It was Mo Yan, the highly respected [Black Flame Walker]!

But at this moment, he was no longer as calm and stable as usual, but looked dazed, with strong disbelief, pain and despair in his eyes.

Mo Yan raised his head and looked at the Fire King on the throne, and said hoarsely with his almost burned vocal cords.

"King, this fire... was it you who started it?"

The Fire King glanced at him with a little surprise.

"I have already hinted that you are not allowed to approach the palace, but you still found this place?"

"You have worked so hard..."

"Answer my question!"

In response, Mo Yan roared hoarsely, interrupting the words of the Fire King.

His eyes were red and his eyes were extremely angry.

He was waiting for an answer, an answer that he did not want to know but had to know.

Facing Mo Yan's gaze, the Fire King did not escape, but nodded.

"Yes, I did it."

Hearing this answer, Mo Yan's body was struck by lightning.

He trembled violently twice, and half-knelt down as if he had lost his soul.

For such loyal [Black Flame Walkers] as them.

The Fire King is like the sun in the sky, an absolutely correct existence, and the king who leads [Great Yan Kingdom] to prosperity.

But at this time.

What the Fire King did was undoubtedly a betrayal of all [Black Flame Walkers] and even [Great Yan Kingdom]!

This kind of blow can crush a person's spirit in an instant.

Mo Yan, who was already seriously injured by passing through the sea of ​​fire, was further injured and his breath became weaker.

But even so, he still had one last question to ask.

Mo Yan asked tremblingly: "Why?"

"Why did you do this?"

Looking at the desperate and dying Mo Yan in front of him, the Fire King sighed faintly.

"The reason is not important."

"You just need to know that it was me who burned down the [Great Yan Kingdom] and dragged this kingdom into the hell of fire."

"All the guilt and cause and effect are borne by me."

"You can hate me and be hostile to me as much as you want, and then get a merciful rest."

Hearing this, Mo Yan stared at the Fire King, and blood and tears gradually flowed from his eyes.

And the blood was quickly evaporated due to the high temperature in the palace.

On the severely burned face, two bright red marks were left, making it look even more hideous and terrifying.

Like a ghost crawling out of purgatory.

Mo Yan tried his best and said with his last strength.

"Xin! I will avenge you!"

"Even if I turn into a ghost, I will never let you go!"

After saying this, Mo Yan maintained this posture, completely losing his vitality.

As if he had turned into a charred sculpture.

Only the hatred in his eyes seemed to never dissipate.

Witnessing the death of his most loyal subordinate.

A subtle regret flashed in the eyes of the Xin King.

But soon, he hid this emotion deep in his heart.

Then, the Xin King gently waved his hand towards Mo Yan's body.

A ball of fire ignited the body, and then it turned into a dark ash in an instant.

The Xin King reached out to the ashes in the air and solemnly put them into a small box and placed it next to the throne.

He said softly.

"Mo Yan, rest in peace."

"I hope... you can live in a better country in your next life."

"I hope... you won't meet an incompetent king like me again."

"Pah pah pah..."

Just when the Fire King was mourning for Mo Yan.

A few crisp applause suddenly sounded in the palace, interrupting his mood.

"Haha, what a touching scene."

"The king of a country not only didn't care about the hatred and resentment of his subordinates, but also personally collected his body."

"How many people in this [Great Yan Kingdom] can have the same treatment as him?"

Not far away, the sound came from something strange and sinister.

With a hint of playful sarcasm, it was unpleasant to listen to.

"It's just that if this [Black Flame Walker] knew about this, I'm afraid... instead of expressing gratitude to you, he would actually scold you for your hypocrisy, right?"

"Oh, right."

"Isn't there only one [Black Flame Walker] who would do this?"

"After learning the truth, all [Black Flame Walkers], and even all the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] will hate you!"

At this point, the voice paused and said regretfully.

"But these miserable fools don't know that."

"You are actually doing this to save them."

"The misunderstood king...is destined to a tragic ending..."

"Such a story is so regrettable, aren't you right? Salary King?"

King Xin turned his head.

I saw walking in the hall, a man with a single-sided glasses and a rational temperament with a hint of madness.

It is the so-called [Undertaker] and [Observer].

In other words, it's Joey's father Edward!

certainly.

King Xin in this memory scene does not know Edward, let alone his identity.

However, King Xin saw a familiar temperament in the other party.

That was the temperament of the [Omniscient Sage] he had seen before.

So King Xin frowned and asked.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you here?"

Edward replied.

"I am a [mourner] of civilization and an [observer] of history."

"And I came here to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Hearing this, King Xin sneered.

“Isn’t it because of a deal with the [Omniscient Sage] that the reason why my [Great Yan Kingdom] and I are like this is?”

"Although I don't know you, I have already guessed that you and that guy are actually traveling together."

"Do you think I will still believe your words?"

Edward chuckled.

"I knew you would react like this, King Xin."

"But please believe that this time we come with sincerity."

"First of all, the first sincerity."

"Please let me reveal to you...the truth of your world!"

As he spoke, Edward tapped his fingertips lightly in the air.

Images appeared in the air in front of King Xin.

Those are the pictures of various memory scenes inside [Great Flame].

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

Even every scene is constantly changing.

And one of the pictures is clearly the scene of the King sailing into Fanyan City.

Seeing that majestic steel giant, even King Xin couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"That ship is..."

He can be sure that in his own time.

Such a huge steel battleship has never been born.

The ship has advanced turrets, an unprecedented hull structure, and a unique star wave logo.

All of them illustrate the characteristics of this ship that span the ages.

It's like... it's a creation from the future!

Edward explained as if he noticed King Xin's gaze.

"The ship's name is the King."

"As you can imagine, it's a warship of the future."

"In other words, the area you are in now is a reflection of history for us."

King Xin has never been a stupid person, even if he was just created by [Great Yan], with the help of the information given by Edward and these chaotic memory scenes, he instantly realized the truth of the matter.

"So that's it."

"No wonder I always felt like something was wrong."

King Xin muttered to himself.

"It's not just what happens here."

"Am I just a fake created by myself?"

"Correct answer."

Edward snapped his fingers and replied with a smile.

"But because of this, it is possible for you to achieve a dream that even a real salary king cannot realize."

"That's-"

"Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]!"

"Return to the [Great Yan Kingdom] where the great flood will not come and this fire will not happen. Everything is calm and peaceful, and it continues to prosper!"

"Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]?"

King Xin muttered this sentence again, and the look on his face became a little dark and unclear.

If he could, how could he burn down Fanyan City and the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] with his own hands.

If he could, how could he be willing to witness countless people dying unwillingly in the flames?

If possible, why would he want to see the desperate, hateful, and angry eyes of his subordinates who once trusted him?

Everything is due to helplessness and forcedness.

But now.

But such a "what if" really appeared in front of King Xin.

Its allure can be imagined.

King Xin looked at Edward deeply and said.

"So, what exactly do you mean by the deal?"

Hearing this, Edward couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on his face.

"The deal is simple."

"That is, help us to eliminate all outsiders who break into this memory scene."

"In exchange, we will recreate a real [Great Yan Kingdom] for you."

"And you will become the king of that country again, and live happily and peacefully with your own people."

The Fire King raised his eyebrows.

"Is that all?"

"I think... it's not that simple?"

Edward still had that weird smile on his face, smiling.

"As expected of the Fire King, you found the loophole in my words so quickly."

"You want to become the new [Great Yan Kingdom] king, there is naturally a prerequisite."

"That is..."

"Kill the real Fire King in reality."

"In this way, those [Black Flame Walkers] will only regard you as the unique king."

Hearing this, a hint of irony appeared in the eyes of the Fire King.

"You mean, let me, the fake thing that was created, kill the real me?"

Edward nodded.

"That's right."

"If you feel uneasy, we can also sign a contract witnessed by the [Secret Sea]."

As he said that, Edward took out a contract with a very unique material and walked towards the Fire King.

"A contract witnessed by the [Secret Sea] is equivalent to being recognized by the [Great Law]."

"That is a law that even gods cannot violate."

"Oh, by the way, Fire King, you should know the existence of the [Great Law], right?"

Just from Edward's words.

The deal he prepared seems to be very sincere.

It can be said that he made sufficient preparations early.

Including deliberately finding the Fire King in this memory scene at this time.

It is also part of the plan.

Edward wanted to sign this contract with the Fire King at his most vulnerable time.

Or.

He just wanted to force the Fire King to go to the extreme of blackening.

And just when the Fire King stretched out his hand and was about to take the contract.

A raging flame suddenly burned on his palm, and he slapped Edward's chest brazenly.

This sneak attack came without any warning.

And it was incredibly fast.

It hit Edward's body directly.

With a "hiss".

The terrible flames quickly spread from Edward's clothes to his whole body.

It enveloped his body like a tide.

In just a few breaths.

Edward's body completely melted away and turned into a pile of charcoal.

However, the Fire King's expression did not relax, but turned his head and looked in another direction of the palace.

There, Edward, who should have been burned to ashes, reappeared in front of him.

At this time.

Edward restrained the smile on his face, and his expression became cold and ruthless, like an absolutely rational machine.

He spoke coldly.

"Sure enough, the data analysis results show that the probability that you will agree to sign the contract is less than 30%."

"But a 30% probability is enough for me to make this attempt."

"But I really can't understand..."

"Why do you reject me?"

"Isn't it the dream of you and other [Black Flame Walkers] to rebuild the [Great Flame] of the past?"

The Fire King shook his head: "Why so many whys?"

"If you insist, it's just because..."

"I am the Fire King of [Great Flame]!"

"Sins or resentments, I will bear them all!"

Before he finished speaking, the Fire King's body turned into flames and attacked Edward.
