In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

The abundant elemental power, along with the surging knowledge and emotions, enabled the elemental life forms to complete their growth.

"I could feel it; they were all very excited, finally able to go home."

"Let's go! This is the final journey!"

Following the guidance of the fire, Nasita and her companions arrived at Apep's hiding place, but Apep still refused to communicate.

Naxida could only continue to persuade her.

"Apep, we have different positions and different understandings of the world and order, but we were both born based on elemental power and have both experienced the torment of forbidden knowledge."

We share the same fundamental nature and have the same enemies to fight. We should not refuse to communicate because of prejudice.

"No matter what you think, who you hate, or what you do because of that hatred, I don't care, and I don't expect your gratitude."

I have come to save you, not only you, but also your people and my people.

They've been searching for a way to save you since they left their home; they really want to go home.

"Now, it's all over. All hatred is useless. Instead of continuing the fight, you should face the life you have brought into this world."

Apep did not respond to Nasida's words, but Nasida did not give up.

"Appepp, the fact that you want to live no matter what shows that you haven't given up on your world."

Since you claim to know more than me, then what do you live for? What do you hate for? Think it through!

Nasida's voice, which was unusually clear, was full of emotion, but she still did not respond.

Just when everyone thought they had failed, a suction force came.

Nasita took out a flame and said, "Protect everyone, please! Take us to our 'homeland'."

Seeing what was displayed on the sky, the Silver Dragon King had a strange sense of déjà vu, feeling that every word was directed at him.

In fact, she really overestimated herself. Neither Nasita nor Apep paid much attention to her as the Silver Dragon King.

However, it's not surprising that she would have this feeling of déjà vu, as there are indeed some similarities.

She also hated the gods of the divine realm, hating them for taking away the dragons' rule.

The Soul Beast race was born because of her; she is the ruler of the Soul Beasts. However, she has never truly respected the Soul Beast race, treating them merely as her tools.

"Why do I live? Why do I hate? Perhaps I should think about these things carefully."

The Silver Dragon King muttered to herself, while also wanting to have a good talk with Apep, but she didn't know if Apep would be willing to pay attention to her.

The scene on the sky changed, and the background turned into a withered dark green. This was the small world inside Apep's body, or more accurately, the heart of the oasis.

During the process of entering this place, the group got separated, and Nasita was left with only Paimon by her side.

They all saw the polluted heart of the oasis, and now all they had to do was purify it with the fire to complete their mission.

But just as Nasita was using the fire to purify the heart of the oasis, the fire shattered in her hands.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Academy and many people in Douluo Continent were also deeply moved by Naxida's plight.

Nasita's expression on the sky was somewhat disappointed, but not surprised; she had already anticipated this worst-case scenario.

"The spark is shattered! What are we going to do? We finally made it here."

"It's alright, Paimon! This is my responsibility. In essence, the spark is nothing more than highly purified elemental power."

Although the elemental power of elemental beings is somewhat different from mine, I had already come into contact with it when I transformed into a mushroom beast before.

I can mimic that elemental power, and by combining it with my own strength, I can achieve the same effect as the fire.

Although Nasita spoke casually, Paimon clearly sensed that something was wrong.

"So what would you do?"

"Have I been discovered? Don't worry, I'll just shrink a little, back to how I was when I was first born."

"If I can reverse the process of growth, I can unleash power beyond my limits."

"That would mean losing a lot! Emotions, memories, appearance, and so on! No, that absolutely won't do! There must be another way."

Those who have completed the Forest Tree all understand one thing: the forest remembers everything, and memory is power. Lannaro's power comes from memory.

"Saving Appepp is more important now; saving Appepp is like saving Mount Sumeru."

"But what will happen to Sumeru if you're gone? You're the god of grass!"

"Hehe, I'll have to ask Paimon and the Traveler to plant me in the land of Sumeru. I've only lost my physical form, but I can still communicate with this world through the forest. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

"No, no! If we had known that's what your responsibility meant, we wouldn't have agreed..."

"Sorry, we don't have that many choices! Not every eagle with broken wings can fly, but if we don't take the risk, we'll never reach the sky."

As she spoke, Nasita's body shone with a green light, and she began to release her elemental power to purify the heart of the oasis.

Everyone's heart was clenched as they watched the scene unfold on the sky. Even though they knew that Nasita was safe and sound in the end, they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the story.

In the sky, the traveler arrived just in time, bringing two elemental beings with him, having cut down the mutated elemental beings blocking their path.

"Hurry! Nasita is going to...stop her..."

When Paimon saw the travelers approaching, he hurriedly called out loudly.

The elemental life form that had "grown" said, "I understand, this is the only way, but it shouldn't be done by the King of Grass."

The elemental being walked up to Nasita, its body also emitting a green light.

"King of Grass, we have all grown on this long journey. If 'growth' is for the sake of 'returning home,' then this can be considered a wish fulfilled."

The elemental forces brought back by this elemental life form now revealed their former forms and flew towards the heart of the oasis.

"King of Grass, please lend us a hand!"

"You knew it all along, didn't you? The knowledge, language, and emotions you've learned will all degenerate into pure elemental power."

In your new "home," there will be no trace of you. No one will remember you. Is this really the home you wanted?

"King of Grass, I'm sad, no, your home, this isn't where we're going home, King of Grass, you want to go home too."

This elemental life form, which can barely speak properly, is the one who cuts people the deepest.

Many people watching the sky screen were moved to tears. Even though many felt that such a sacrifice was not worthwhile, they still did it without hesitation.

Even if they are not remembered, even if they leave no trace, they still do not back down, because they want to save their "homeland". Do we need to say more about who they are?
