“Am I actually going to die here?”
Meng Lei was unwilling to accept the fact.
Boom!
At this critical moment, a dazzling red light suddenly erupted. Meng Lei looked up in astonishment to see a big, tall, and majestic figure standing in front of him.
Fiery red scales and fiery red wings!
Fiery red horns and a fiery red body!
It was a pure-blooded Fire Dragon!
“O-Ol’ President?”
Meng Lei exclaimed in a low voice. He was too familiar with Ol’ Amos’ aura. It was Ol’ Amos’ aura!
“After being with you for such a long time, it’s time I should leave.”
The pure-blooded Fire Dragon turned to him and gave him a kindly smile. “You should know that I had remained single for my entire life. In your words, I’m a lifelong bachelor.
“My biggest regret is that I hadn’t left behind any descendants. Fortunately, I met you. Watching you grow, watching you breakthrough, watching you come all this way...
“It has let me experience what it’s like to enjoy a life of leisure in old age as one plays with their grandchildren, as well as the joy of guiding the younger generation. This is something that I’ve never experienced before, and also the happiest moments of my life in the last 20,000 years.
“Alas, all good things must come to an end. The fate between us has reached the end, and this day has finally come!”
With a hint of gratification and comfort at the corners of his eyes, Ol’ Amos said, “To be honest, brat, I’ve known from the very beginning that you’re not a descendant of the Krocs, so there’s no need for you to be sad after my death. Nor do you need to restore the Krocs’ glory and magnificence. From the start to the end, this clan had never been glorious before!
“So, go on your journey happily and create your own glory! I will watch over you quietly in the otherworld.
“Next is the thing that you care about the most—my inheritance. All of my inheritance is in my dragon remains in the Magical Beast Forest. You can look for it after you leave this place. Although it isn’t much, they should still be of some help to you.
“Lastly, haven’t you been curious all this time about how strong I was during my peak? Here’s a piece of good news—your wish has come true! You shall be the first, as well as the last, to see my strongest power!”
With a bright smile, the flames around Ol’ Amos suddenly turned into a dazzling golden-yellow!
A Fire Dragon had turned into a Golden Dragon!
Boom!
Majestic divine power emanated from him and enveloped the whole place in it, sweeping through the heavens and earth.
“Divine spirit, ignite!”
Blazing flames suddenly burst forth from the Golden Dragon. As though flames that had been doused with petrol, his divine power instantly surged!
“What’s going on?”
The Tree of Life’s countenance changed dramatically.
“To be able to kill a half-deity before I die... I have no more regrets!
“This is farewell, brat! Live on well!”
With a kindly and benevolent expression on his face, Ol’ Amos took one last look at Meng Lei. Then, he turned into a golden stream of light that shot toward the Tree of Life’s divine spirit, breaking into the most radiant, most dazzling brilliance at the very last moment, much like a comet shooting across the sky.
“NOOOOO!”

Boom!
Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, a violent shockwave swept in all directions and exploded!
Meng Lei took the brunt of the impact. He was sent flying; his eyes rolled, and he fell unconscious!
When Meng Lei woke up again, he didn’t know how long it had been. It was all empty and silent around him—even a needle drop would be heard.
The small golden tree had disappeared!
Ol’ Amos had disappeared!
Everything had disappeared!
Only the vitality core, broken into two pieces, and countless vessels in disarray were left.
Meng Lei got up quickly, ignoring his dizziness, and yelled frantically.
“Ol’ President?
“Ol’ President!
“Ol’ President, come out!”
There was no response at all.
“Ol’ President, come out!
“Ol’ Amos, get out here quickly!”
Meng Lei shook the Gods-Slaying Spear hard, wanting to shake the old man out of it. It was from this spear that Ol’ Amos had emerged before.
Unfortunately, this time, Ol’ Amos didn’t come out anymore.
He extended his spiritual power inside but could detect nothing. Ol’ Amos had disappeared forever.
“No! No! No!”
Meng Lei shook his head, unable to accept this reality. In the past, Meng Lei would always feel irritated at the old man’s non-stop chattering in his ears.
But now that Ol’ Amos had disappeared, and he couldn’t hear his nagging voice anymore, Meng Lei’s heart felt a piercing pain.
“I’m the President of Fire Dragon Magic Academy.
“My name is Amos Kroc.
“You unfilial descendant! Why would I get such an unfilial youngster like you...
“Brat, how come you’ve broken through again?
“Meng Lei, live well!”
Scenes of their past interactions kept replaying—Ol’ Amos’s voice, tone, smile, and appearance filled Meng Lei’s mind. Only now did Meng Lei realize that the elder who often scolded, criticized, and advised him, had long become a person who he couldn’t part with.
But now, the person Meng Lei was closest to in this world... had left forever!
“Why? Why did this happen?”
Meng Lei collapsed onto the ground, his tears gushing out uncontrollably.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Meng Lei’s mood recovered just slightly. He looked at the empty area and stood up.
Time to leave this sorrowful place...
He put away the Hammer of Destruction and grabbed his Gods-Slaying Spear. Meng Lei felt extremely sad; how he wished
