After the apocalypse, I became a dragon

The flames hung in the air, radiating light that enveloped everyone.

It was also at this moment that Huang Ze and others fell into a deep sleep.

At the moment the fire rose, Huang Ze sat cross-legged and practiced the Zhoutian breathing method, trying to keep his brain clear.

But contrary to his wishes, he fell into a deep sleep.

However, the power of the Zhoutian breathing method is that the spirit falls into a deep sleep, but the body can still practice.

This indeed helped Huang Ze, allowing his spiritual body to still sense his physical body.

This is a dark space. Here, there is only darkness, nothing, as if it is nothingness.

In the darkness, a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female was heard.

"Do you believe in light?"

"I used to believe it!"

Huang Ze answered calmly without any panic.

He even thought the question was a little ridiculous, like when you are walking on the street and suddenly someone asks you if you are happy?

The voice asked again: "What now?"

"Now? Now all I see is darkness!"

Huang Ze answered truthfully that he could not see anything in this space.

"what about now?"

The voice asked back, and then a beam of light shone on Huang Ze.

The light had a hint of fire. Huang Ze frowned slightly. It was obvious that this might be a trick played by the Fire of Hope!

He said calmly, "I saw the light."

"Okay, please believe in the light. It will guide you along the way. So, now please chase the light!"

Along with the sound, the light on Huang Ze disappeared, and then the light moved in front. The meaning was very clear, which was to let Huang Ze chase the light.

But just as Huang Ze was about to take a step, he suddenly had an idea and thought to himself: "I said I believed in light before, but that means I don't believe in it anymore. Now he only believes in himself. Nothing and no temptation can influence his thoughts, not even the flame of hope!"

At this moment, Huang Ze's state of mind suddenly rose to a level.

Perhaps he has always focused on improving his strength and upgrading his life level, but his state of mind has not changed much. It can even be said that he is a little profit-driven and fighting for survival.

The state of mind is still at the level of interests and survival.

But at this moment, Huang Ze was sublimated unknowingly. This time he broke out of the original rut and looked at himself and what he had done from another perspective.

This feeling is strange, but it really happened.

He no longer gives up on himself due to the temptation of others or inertial thinking. Faced with the immediate interests, he stops and instead pursues self-breakthrough, the realization of his own value, and a way of doing things that is in harmony with the world.

Believing in light, or believing in himself, seemed to fall into low-level cognition, but if he jumped out of this category, everything in front of him would become clear.

Even though it was still dark in front of him, the light kept tempting him to chase it, but he remained indifferent!

Is this the real world of spiritual sublimation?

Do not be happy with things or sad with yourself, do not be moved by the movement of all things, but take yourself as the center. When your heart moves, the world moves. When your heart moves, all things move. When your heart moves, the stars move. When your heart moves, your thoughts extend infinitely.

What an amazing feeling!

At this moment, Huang Ze suddenly understood the significance of this trial. Perhaps the Moon Queen back then hoped that someone could pass this trial so that they could understand the value of life.

The flame of hope, the trial, the light, are all false.

Only by believing in yourself, improving yourself, and achieving your own value can you gain a foothold in the world and achieve your dream goals.

Looking at the light gradually fading away, Huang Ze felt calm.

"You shouldn't have abandoned the light!"

That androgynous voice sounded in my ears, filled with anger and confusion, loss and unwillingness, and even a hint of shock and relief.

"I have not forsaken the light, but your light has forsaken me!"

Huang Ze said calmly.

This is the legendary state of "it's not the trees that move, it's not the wind that moves, it's the heart that moves".

He is not moved by the lure of the light, but the light is moved by him.

"No, it's you who gave up. You gave up hope and everything you've worked hard for!"

The voice roared, as if it had hit a sore spot.

Huang Ze chuckled and said, "Your incompetent roar just shows how correct my choice is. I have never given up hope. Hope comes from the heart. My heart is calm and I am not tempted by external things. And I will not abandon everything I have worked hard for, because whether I admit it or not, it is my past. Suzaku Supreme, you should let go of your obsession and listen to the guidance of your heart. What has your life brought to this world? Is it hope, or disaster, or what you think is beautiful? Then why are you sealed again, why are you lingering on as a residual spirit? Everything is in the heart, isn’t it?"

"You...hahaha..."

The voice finally turned into the female voice of Suzaku's spirit.

"You are quite good, junior. You have not been seduced, nor have you been confused by the illusion before your eyes. You may be the junior with the greatest hope of becoming the strongest that I have ever seen."

"What a pity! If you were born in that time, maybe I would have accepted you as my disciple, or maybe we would have become friends, or even more likely you would have reminded me. No, my arrogance and pride did not allow me to listen to any advice. My fall just proved that I was wrong. I never thought of bringing disaster to this planet, but this planet suffered misfortune because of me. My sin was paid for by my fall!"

"And you, my junior, will receive my flame of hope. It is the only thing I can give you, and it is also the only thing I can give to make up for this planet. I hope you can make good use of it and make Dragon Star glorious again!"

Huang Ze paused, then bowed deeply.

"Younger generation Huang Ze, I will obey the order of the Supreme Suzaku. You will be engraved on the Hero Monument of Dragon Star, so that the people of Dragon Star will always remember your achievements!"

"It doesn't matter anymore!"

The spirit of Suzaku reappeared, and this time it was the same image as when they first met, the image of a gentle and proud woman.

A fist-sized scarlet fireball floated towards Huang Ze.

"Swallow it, and you will receive the gift of the flame of hope. Of course, you can also give it to the little fellow who transformed into Suzaku, but his character... you need to be careful."

The Suzaku spirit said with some worry.

Huang Ze nodded and said, "I won't give it to him. I know very well what kind of person he is."

Having said that, he swallowed it in one gulp. He would think when he should hesitate, but when the opportunity was right in front of him, why didn't he take it?

Suddenly, Huang Ze transformed into a golden dragon, and its dark golden scales seemed to be burning at this moment.

"Roar!"

The burning golden dragon let out a deafening roar, and its twisted dragon body seemed to show how much pain Huang Ze was in at the moment.

Burning, hope, perseverance, transformation!

At this moment, all the pain seemed to be just a motivation for him to become stronger.

The Suzaku spirit looked at the golden dragon twisting in pain and said slowly, "What will happen if the golden dragon fuses with the flame of hope?"

No dragon had ever attempted to combine these two opposing forces, because everyone had tried before, and no one had succeeded.

The dragon itself has a very powerful mutant ability, so those mutated dragons will never take the risk to try it.

At this moment, the Suzaku spirit was somewhat expectant.
