Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Yongfang Chunlan had never revealed her true feelings to the people of the Village of Heroes; her heart was always open only to Lux.

Even though she didn’t know what Lux was busy with, Yongfang Chunlan always wanted to help Lux, so she wanted to learn magic.

Lux seemed to not want her to get involved in his plans, frantically concealing his intentions.

However, as Yongfang Chunlan grew up, she began to detect what Lux was doing to some extent.

Seeing it was about to be uncovered, Lux made a bet with Yongfang Chunlan: if she could emerge victorious at the Dragon God Conference, Lux would let her be part of the plan.

Yongfang Chunlan, of course, joyfully accepted this challenge.

Due to her unstable power, she almost failed halfway.

Fortunately, she ultimately won the Dragon God Conference unexpectedly and without danger.

Even more luckily, after receiving the Racial Essence of the giant dragon species, Yongfang Chunlan underwent certain beneficial mutations.

When Yongfang Chunlan ecstatically found Lux, Lux showed a look of relief mixed with confusion but eventually agreed to let her be part of the plan.

Lux briefly explained the past stories to Yongfang Chunlan, telling her about the existence of the goddess, angels, demons, and the reason he led those people to find the true truth at that time.

Yongfang Chunlan half-understood but continued to listen with relish.

Confirming Yongfang Chunlan’s determination, Lux then explained part of his plan to her and assigned her a task.

Shortly after, Lux’s health gradually worsened.

The aftereffects of fighting against the Demon King Army, even after using the Racial Essence of the giant dragons, did not improve much.

Moreover, Lux remained working day and night, pushing his body to its limits.

Lux seemed to understand his physical condition, yet he did not succumb to illness, instead kept standing up to do his work.

Even if Yongfang Chunlan was willing to help Lux, her lack of knowledge made it difficult to complete certain tasks.

Lux didn’t have much time left; it was impossible to teach Yongfang Chunlan all this knowledge, so he desperately tried to complete all important tasks before his death.

Yongfang Chunlan watched Lux with anxiety, yet felt powerless, only able to stay by his side, doing her utmost to care for him.

The day of separation would ultimately come someday.

Due to certain matters that had to be entrusted, Lux had to leave them to Yongfang Chunlan.

Afterward, under Yongfang Chunlan’s support, Lux walked into the last floor of the Hall of History.

Lux hunched his emaciated body like dried wood, dragging his feet along the long path, causing a long, determined scraping sound; his back seemed tall yet solitary...

The Hero who once defeated the Demon King for the entire world now walks alone towards his end.

For some reason, tears kept streaming down from Yongfang Chunlan’s eyes.

Hero Lux grasped the Holy Sword.

That Holy Sword was not the original one; the original Holy Sword was completely shattered during Lux’s last battle with the Demon King.

Lux used the sword he got from his uncle to receive the fragments of the Holy Sword, reforging a new Holy Sword to finally defeat the Demon King.

This Holy Sword accompanied Hero Lux for many years; it was also due to the existence of this sword that he was not completely banished by the Village of Heroes, nor was his Power of the Brave entirely returned.

Lux knew very well what would happen after returning all this to the Village of Heroes.

He still had things he needed to do; he still needed to continue living, he did not fully return his strength.

However, his life had finally reached its end.

Lux smiled with relief.

Sometimes death isn’t the end, but rather another beginning.

Lux’s ancient body gradually turned into countless sand grains, disappearing completely beside the Holy Sword, only a trace of unnoticeable sand attached itself to the Holy Sword, merging with it.

Lux had never told Yongfang Chunlan that he would completely resurrect at some future point.

Yet Yongfang Chunlan keenly sensed that tiny trace of sand.

Combining with the plan she remembered, Yongfang Chunlan believed Lux would surely resurrect in the future.

However, Lux also did not know at what point in the future he would be resurrected.

By that time, things might have changed, and she might no longer be around.

So, Lux only requested Yongfang Chunlan to plant the seeds for some future events.

Just plant those seeds and when he resurrects, he will definitely find a way to let those seeds take root and sprout.

But who would have thought, Yongfang Chunlan always longed to meet Lux.

She not only planted the seeds but carefully nurtured the saplings, facilitating the formation of certain events in secret.

After Lux completely left, Yongfang Chunlan’s longing did not fade over time; instead, it deepened.

Yongfang Chunlan found it difficult to explain the feelings in her heart; her emotions towards Lux were like both kinship and love, yet transcended kinship and love.

These feelings, in the eyes of others, might be difficult to understand, but Yongfang Chunlan did not need anyone’s understanding.

She only needed to understand herself, and that was enough.

Hundreds of years ago, you were an elderly man, and I was a spirited young girl; hundreds of years later, you become an idealistic youth, and I become the ”dusk” ”girl.”

If everything could reach the conclusion you hoped for, would you then be able to sit by my side and listen to the feelings I have for you?

Yongfang Chunlan slowly withdrew her gaze, smiling confidently; she believed Lux could change the world.

The small boat continued to break through the waves, boldly moving forward.

The azure sea surface shimmered while the sky gradually became covered with thick clouds; Yongfang Chunlan stood up from the boat, casting Surveillance Magic towards the sky, capturing distant scenes instantly.

A massive aircraft carrier, tens of thousands of times larger than their small boat, slowly approached from afar.

The people onboard seemed to have noticed their arrival as well; Black Diamond Lorne wasted no time in unleashing his must-kill skill, instantly shedding countless steel from his body, constantly rotating and assembling in the air, forming a dragon’s skeleton and gradually covering it with scales.

Black Diamond Lorne transformed into a gigantic Steel Giant Dragon!

Besides Black Diamond Lorne, there were more than a dozen other Steel Clan members on the aircraft carrier, who also, like Black Diamond Lorne, released countless Steel Fragments from their bodies, turning themselves into various shaped steel flying creatures.
