"Grandmother, it seems like something has awakened!"
The young girl stood guard by the now dormant Golden Dragon. The Fire Element continuously swallowed by the Golden Dragon was gradually changing, becoming restless, as if influenced by an ultimate will. Sensing the elemental shifts around her, Gwen’s gaze sought the source in the distance, her eyes suddenly filled with panic.
In the depths of the Fire Element Realm, flames surged like a boiling ocean, sky and earth merging without distinction, and within this roiling fire domain, a pair of eyes gradually opened, looking toward the Golden Dragon’s place of slumber.
These were terrifyingly large eyes, with pupils alone spanning hundreds of meters. It’s unimaginable how enormous and formidable the owner’s true body must be.
"I see it, this is the Fire Element Demigod you’ve been pining over."
Meeting the gaze of these divine eyes that shimmered with divinity, akin to the Sun, Selena’s expression was solemn, yet her tone was surprisingly flippant.
It seemed as if the gaze upon them came from merely an insignificant Fire Element Elder, not a Fire Element Monarch of legendary status in the Elemental Realm.
"I’m not pining over anything, what should we do? Should we first get Dragon Dad out of here?"
Watching the torrent of flames flowing toward the Golden Dragon slowing, even stagnating over time, seeing the surrounding fires seemingly turning into solid entities, transforming into various malicious fire elemental creatures, Gwendolin’s tone became unwittingly urgent.
The Fire Element Monarch in the Elemental Realm held supreme elemental authority; in such a specialized domain, not even a Divine being would oppose it. Even Divines in such an exclusive environment would not be bound by the rules of the Material Realm.
For the mere two Legendary Mages, to be honest, they were fundamentally not adversaries for such a level of existence, no matter how special they were; the Ancestor Dragon was the same.
Gwen hadn’t forgotten that her Dragon Dad was just over a century old. Such a dragon hadn’t even reached maturity among ordinary Dragon Species, let alone someone like Dragon Dad.
"Do you think we still have time to run?"
Selena looked at the flow of Fire Elements around them, now completely halted and even solidified, her tone calmly questioning.
The region they were in seemed as if it had been cast with an enormous time-stop spell; everything was frozen. However, the only thing frozen was the flames, while more and more fire elemental creatures were born within.
All because of a Fire Element Demigod’s awakening and his gaze. Under his will, this area on the brink of being devoured and destroyed by Noah began to repair and reconstruct.
But during the repair and reconstruction, this Fire Element Demigod also completely locked onto them, clearly considering them the culprits responsible for the devastation of the Elemental Realm and the downfall of numerous Elemental Monarchs, even though they hadn’t done it, nor were they far from it.
"I don’t think we have enough time. What should we do?"
Gwendolin’s expression was slightly bitter, as she truly couldn’t think of any way to break this situation. Her grandmother, though mysterious and powerful, certainly was not at the level of opposing a Fire Element Monarch.
"It’s not too late; how could it possibly be too late!"
Selena’s previously solemn and low tone began to turn joyful and uplifting.
Because above her head, another pair of eyes opened, a pair of pitch-black pupils. Though not as large as the Sunfire Eyes of the Flame Demigod, they shielded the granddaughter and Golden Dragon from the tidal-like, near-transcendent demigod pressure.
Gwen soon noticed the black pupils emerging above her head, because the eerie demonic qi spreading from them was all too familiar to her.
Under her gaze, she saw a glint of golden light appear deep within these black pupils, and with it, endless lightning sparked. These eyes also gained form as a vast and majestic body began to construct itself within the Flame Domain.
No longer intimidated by the Flame Demigod’s pressure, Selena grabbed her granddaughter with one hand and with the other, pulled on the Golden Dragon’s tail, breaking through a passage back to the Material Realm, and jumped in.
As for the gradually awakening and already enraged Fire Element Demigod, that was not her concern; naturally, someone else would handle it.
The Fire Element Realm trembled as a giant deity, thousands of meters tall, took form. The next moment, it reached out a hand toward the trio trying to escape the Elemental Realm. However, a towering giant enveloped in deep demonic qi stepped forth at this moment, slamming a fist that caused space-time to tremble, while millions of elemental creatures wailed and perished in an instant...
"Is that... Grandfather?"
The girl dragged back to the Material Realm remained in a daze, then looked incredulously at her indifferent grandmother, a tidal wave of shattered beliefs surging within her.
In her memory, that grandfather was the hero who ended the Hell disaster. But now, this hero appeared before her as a Hell Demon God; such a stark contrast left her struggling to accept it.
"Hush! This is the family’s top secret, don’t go blabbing about it."
Seeing her granddaughter’s shattered expression, Selena placed a finger on her lips, indicating silence.
"It’s really grandfather, how is this possible?"
