The Death Regent's Deal for Fuel Fire! Xibalak Became Flame, and the Fire God of Natlan Was Passed Down Through the Generations!

"The Guardian Fire?"

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, his Spiritual Detection unconsciously extending outwards, only to be blocked by an invisible force.

A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

The word "protect" is often associated with "sacrifice".

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly.

He sensed an extremely strong sense of destiny from this brief entry.

The atmosphere was so heavy it made it hard to breathe.

The screen lights up.

It was no longer the peaceful or magnificent scene it once was.

What came into view was a burning sky, a cracked earth, and twisted, pitch-black monsters constantly emerging from the Abyss below.

The ancient continent of Natasha is suffering from an unprecedented invasion.

A burly figure engulfed in Lie Yan and wielding a giant axe was frantically fighting among the monsters.

Each time he swung his battle axe, it unleashed a raging wave of fire, turning swarms of demons to ashes.

[Xibalak, the First Generation Fire God of Natasha.]

The text on the Light Screen coldly explained.

"Such powerful fire energy!"

Ji Dong's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the pure destructive and creative power contained in the flames, a manifestation of the ultimate use of the Fire Element.

However, even such a powerful Gods was powerless against the endless, surging demons that seemed to pour out of the Abyss like a tide.

His Divine Power was rapidly depleting, and the flames on his body began to flicker unpredictably.

"No, there are too many."

Tang San calmly analyzed the battle situation, "These demons seem endless, while he only has one. If this continues, he will be worn down to death."

As he said, the image of Xibalak in the picture was already panting heavily, and there were even wounds on his body torn open by the claws of the monster. What flowed out was not blood, but golden flames.

Despair spread across the ancient continent of Natasha.

Xibalak let out a furious roar of resentment.

He knew that he alone could no longer protect this land.

Just then, a strange figure, seemingly composed of countless shadows, appeared silently in front of him.

[The Death Regent.]

The Light Screen then provided further explanation.

"The Death Regent?"

Rong Nianbing frowned. As the God of Emotion, he could clearly sense the aura emanating from that figure—an absolute, pure, and emotionless "end."

It's neither evil nor good; it's simply the pure concept of "death" itself.

In the scene, Xibalak makes some kind of deal with the shadowy figure.

There was no sound, but everyone understood.

That was a resolute decision to exchange everything for a sliver of hope.

[The deal is made: Your life, your soul, and your Divine Spark merge with the Sacred Fire at the core of Natasha's Earth Vein, transforming into an inextinguishable Guardian Fire to safeguard Natasha until the end of this world.]

Lines of cold, hard text laid bare the brutal details of this transaction, revealing them to everyone in a bloody and gruesome manner.

"What?!"

Ye Yinzhu suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief.

"To merge life and soul with flames? Then... then is one still alive?"

That's not immortality, that's Eternity imprisonment! It's using oneself as a cage to exchange for the continuation of power!

Ji Dong froze, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"He's gone mad... he's gone mad!"

He stared intently at the screen, as if he had witnessed something horrifying.

"To fuse one's soul with the elemental fire is not to become the master of the flames, but to become their slave! One will be Binding to the flames for eternity, enduring endless burning and loneliness, without even a chance for reincarnation! Never to be reborn!"

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of fear that even he himself was unaware of.

Lie Yan, standing to the side, silently took his hand.

Her palms were ice cold.

As a former Flame Queen, she knew better than anyone what this meant.

That was an ending ten thousand times more terrifying than death.

Tang San's expression also became extremely solemn.

"No... this is more than just imprisonment."

His Purple Demon Eye flickered, trying to see through the essence of the flames.

"This is a kind of... inheritance. Or rather, a Curse. He imprinted his will and obsession with protection into that ' Sacred Fire.' The flame itself became the vessel of that will."

"And the cost?"

Gu Yuena's cool voice rang out.

She already had a premonition of the answer.

Tang San slowly uttered two words: "Energy."

"Every flame needs fuel to burn. A perpetually burning Guardian Fire would require an astronomical amount of fuel."

Sure enough, the scene changed.

Amidst the weeping of his people, Xibalak walked step by step toward the core of the volcano deep within the Natasha continent 'Earth Vein.

There, a golden Sacred Fire, radiating the aura of creation, was burning quietly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he resolutely stepped into the flames.

There were no screams, no struggles.

His body slowly melted away in the flames, transforming into the purest energy and merging into the Sacred Fire.

His soul transformed into golden runes, imprinted on every flicker of the flame.

Boom--!

The Sacred Fire suddenly surged, transforming into a pillar of fire that pierced the heavens and earth, enveloping the entire Natasha.

The endless Abyssal Monster were instantly annihilated by this pillar of fire.

Natasha is saved.

But the price was that their god disappeared.

No, it hasn't disappeared.

He transformed into the "Guardian Fire" that protected the entire nation.

"Using the body of a god as fuel, a fire burns eternally for a thousand years..."

Hai Long murmured, his eyes filled with awe and shock.

"How tragic, how resolute!"

However, the story did not end there.

The images on the Light Screen began to scroll rapidly.

[After Xibalak, each generation of Natasha Fire God must inherit his will.]

[They were born to become the next 'fuel' for the Guardian Fire.]

The image shows the figure of the second-generation Fire God.

She was a valiant woman, equally powerful, who also protected Natasha and fought against the returning monsters throughout her life.

But as her Life Force wanes and a new Fire God is born, she will follow the guidance of her bloodline and, like Xibalak, calmly walk towards the core of the Earth Vein and enter the blazing "Guardian Fire".

Her body became fuel, keeping the flames burning.

Her will was integrated into it, strengthening that unwavering commitment to protection.

Next, the third generation.

A man with a stern face.

The fourth generation, a girl who still looks very young.

Fifth generation...

The tenth generation...

The twentieth generation...

Generation after generation.

One after another.

Their lives seem like a tragedy with a pre-written script.

From the moment of its birth, it has been burdened with the destiny of becoming "fuel".
