Chapter 5097 5100 [Eternal Fire]

"Where there is life, there is death; where there is rise, there is decline~" After hearing Xiang Nan's words, Ilúvatar fell into endless contemplation.

After countless years, He finally made a decision - He decided to die.

"You actually want to die?" Xiang Nan said in surprise.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Those poor people and sick people, whose lives are so hard and painful, still try their best to live. Who would have thought that a creator god like Ilúvatar would actually decide to die.

"To live or to die, to me, is meaningless." Ilúvatar said, "From the day I was born, I didn't know the meaning of my existence.

So I created the Valar, the Maiar, countless planets, and countless people, hoping that they could tell me. But after countless years, not only did they fail to tell me the answer, but they themselves also fell.

I'm tired of waiting any longer. Since existence has no meaning, it's better to die. Just like the story you told me before.

Didn’t your creator Pangu also die after creating the world? Perhaps this is also the purpose of my existence and my final destination.”

Xiang Nan nodded, understanding his thoughts.

It’s lonely at the top! The higher you are at, the lonelier you feel.

Especially for a creator god like Ilúvatar, his status is probably not much different from Pangu.

Being at the top of this world, even though I often accompany Him, He is still lonely after all.

People are afraid of loneliness, and gods are afraid of loneliness too.

Therefore, it was normal for Him to choose to die.

If Xiang Nan had no family ties in the real world and was left alone in this world, it would be a very boring thing.

Even as the creator, he can create many planets, many gods, and many races to accompany himself, just like playing "The Sims".

But after a long time, even if you play for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of years, you will eventually get bored. Just like no one can play the same game forever.

"Okay, I understand you." Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the world you created."

Ilúvatar nodded and took out the Eternal Fire from his body.

It was a ball of flame, flickering all the time, dazzling but not blinding. It was this eternal fire that created the whole world.

Xiang Nan could feel the infinite power contained in it.

When Melkor was created by Ilúvatar, he coveted this powerful power of creation and often went to the Void to look for the Eternal Fire.

But he didn't know that the eternal fire had always been in Ilúvatar's body. It was also the eternal fire that supported Ilúvatar's life.

Therefore, when the Eternal Fire was taken out, the light on Ilúvatar gradually dimmed.

"Goodbye, the world I created. I hope everything is well with you." He waved goodbye to the entire universe for the last time, then returned to emptiness and disappeared.

The whole world seemed to feel the departure of Ilúvatar, and then all the planets, all the gods, and all the races could not help but cry out in grief.

Even the Maiar and Valar in the melee couldn't help but burst into tears, realizing that their creator, Ilúvatar, had left them forever.

……

After Ilúvatar's death, Xiang Nan inherited his eternal fire.

After his research, he found that the Eternal Fire has two major properties. One is that it can create things out of nothing, turning people's fantasies into reality. It can be said that it is much more powerful than the Reality Gem in the Marvel Universe.

After all, the Eternal Fire can create the entire universe, but the Reality Stone is not that powerful. It can only affect one universe, and it requires the cooperation of other Infinity Stones.

Second, it can give things real life, that is, an independent soul. Elves, humans, dwarves and other beings are all given souls by the Eternal Fire.

Therefore, the eternal fire is similar to the fire source in "Transformers". It can also give Transformers independent souls and let them have their own will.

Moreover, the energy of the Eternal Fire is extremely powerful, even infinite. After all, it can create the entire universe, which is truly incredible.

Xiang Nan believed that its energy was even higher than his own and should be at the saint level.

He then took the Eternal Fire into his body. With the power of the Eternal Fire, Xiang Nan could create, modify, or even destroy the entire universe.

In his eyes, the Valar, such as Manwë, Aulë, and Ulmo, were extremely weak. He only needed a thought to crush them all. As for humans, elves, etc., they were not worth mentioning.

Xiang Nan then eliminated Manwë, Aulë, Ulmo and other Valar and Maiar.

Because they have now fallen into the same demon kings as Melkor and Sauron, and have no value in continuing to exist.

And he had promised Ilúvatar that he would take good care of the world, so he would not break his promise.

After clearing out the Valar and Maia, Xiang Nan created a new group of gods, recreated a universe, created a new group of elves, and put them into this new world.

And send these new gods in to manage the universe.

For him, a semi-saint, it was not difficult to create a group of new gods.

For example, in the world of Green Snake, he can easily enlighten a group of eight tribes, goddesses, monks, holy monks, arhats, etc.; in the world of Brilliant Pig Bajie, he can make a person immortal with a magic pill, and a peach can make a person live as long as the sun and the moon...

Now that he possesses the Eternal Fire, his strength is even more powerful. Even compared to Pangu, the God of Creation, he is probably almost the same.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to create new gods and the universe.

And when the gods entered this universe, Xiang Nan and Tauriel entered this universe to survive.

Under the guidance of the new gods, the elves began as toddlers and gradually became the masters of the planet.

Xiang Nan and Taoriel watched quietly, witnessing the birth and growth of a new civilization together.

The civilization of the elves is very advanced. Every elf can do whatever he wants, have no worries about food and clothing, live forever, and live happily.

There is no need to work, compete, or fight among yourselves, and there will be no pain of birth, aging, illness, and death. It can be said that it is more carefree than being a god.

But in the end, after countless years, the civilization established by the elves gradually turned from prosperity to decline.

Because the elves' lives were so good, they had no motivation to move forward, and their civilization gradually stagnated, their thoughts gradually became rigid, and their order gradually became chaotic...

Eventually, a serious war broke out among the elves, and even the gods were unable to effectively dissuade and guide them.

The war launched by the elves nearly brought the entire planet to collapse.

This time, Xiang Nan did not try to save them, so even Tauriel died with the collapse of the planet.

At the moment of Taoriel's death, Xiang Nan also heard the long-lost prompt sound.
