The Dragon That Devours the World

() In the ancient submarine temple, the indistinct dark thing sits high on the throne, even if it is just sitting there, it exudes a dark, secluded breath, the darkness It was frightening, trembling, and the heart seemed to be tightly clenched, unable to breathe, and involuntarily wanted to kneel on the ground and worship it.

Just as if there was an invisible black hole, all the light beside the throne was distorted.

And the erected snake pupil now crossed the barrier of the billions of tons of sea water, observing the every move of the mortal named Noah above the earth without any hindrance.

The mortal who listened to the apocalypse learned of the world's imminent destruction, and the panicked man tried to ask other people for help, but who would believe the "great flood of the world"?

The contemptuous and scornful villagers refused to believe the words of the man who was desperately begging. The man was finally forced to take the only wife who believed in him and three children, far away from the crowd, and began to build the huge ship of unprecedented scale by the sea. ...

"Father, what shall we not do?"

Beside the throne, the snake girl who was standing by the dark thing asked softly.

The dark thing that couldn't see its face didn't answer. Instead, it raised its hand and looked at the white chess piece in his hand. It was a chess piece made up of a family.

The sturdy middle-aged man embraced his wife and children, surrounded by two children, one child and one child, and his wife held another young child in his arms. The perseverance on the husband’s face, the ignorance of the child holding his parents, the young child crying loudly, and the wife who is nestling in the arms of her husband, looking down at her young child lovingly...between parents and children, brothers and sisters The affection, the affection of parents, the affection of husband and wife, all family parent-child feelings are reflected vividly.

The cold erect snake pupil stared at this white chess piece that was not under his control, and the white chess piece was shattered in an instant.

"no need."

Said in a calm and low voice.

The snake girl standing by her side didn't ask any more, just leaned over and bowed quietly, and then turned into a light spot and dissipated.

Inside the empty temple, there is only the lonely seated throne.

"..."

At this time, from the depths of the earth below the temple, there was gradually a deep and loud voice, deep and melodious.

It was the dream of an ancient thing that slept under the sea at the beginning of the creation. The monster that swallowed the world is still asleep at this moment. When it occasionally moves its body when it is asleep, it will be on the bottom of the sea and the earth. The above triggers a huge change that is enough to split the continent; the whispering dreams that are occasionally heard by creatures on the ground will turn them into monsters. The oldest vampires, werewolves, centaurs, etc., are all because of this. Was born.

This monster is still asleep, because it is not hungry yet, but the dark things know that this huge and ancient monster will one day wake up because of hunger. At that time, all the reason and wisdom will be there forever. The hunger pang was torn to pieces.

By then, greedy and violent monsters will devour everything in this world.

"Now is not the time to wake up."

While listening to the murmur of dreams, the invisible dark thing above the throne spoke softly, and then silently felt the short-lived turmoil in the depths of the earth gradually returning to calm, holding the forehead with the hand, the erect There is only endless darkness in the depths of the snake pupil, making it impossible for people to guess its thoughts.

...

There are several wooden houses standing in the lush forest on the endless sea.

"Jaffer."

Looking at the upright little son in front of him and the young girl he was holding, Noah, whose face was a bit more vicissitudes of life, showed a rare gratifying smile on his face.

Raising his hand, patted the younger son on the shoulder, feeling the strong arm of the younger son, Noah didn't know what to say for a while, just couldn't help murmuring and repeating.

"good very good."

The shy Japheth looked at his father in front of him, and then he said.

"that……"

"Wedding right, I know, just next month."

But Noah seemed to see his son's thoughts, smiled and nodded.

Immediately, in front of Noah, the two young men couldn't help but hug each other excitedly, cheering and celebrating.

Where they hadn't noticed, the smile on Noah's face gradually faded, and then he murmured.

"Next month...Yes, next month."

As he said, his eyes were full of complexity, and he turned to look in the direction of the sea...

There, lying quietly, a huge ship, a huge ship about hundreds of meters long, was the ship that Noah’s family spent 120 years to build... the ship that God wanted him The big ship of proclaim.

Just next month, when his youngest son gets married, the ship will be completed, but this also means...

Accompanied by the cheers of young men and women, it was the silent sorrow.

...

One month later.

"Wow..."

Inside the wooden house, the sound of the tide hitting the shore from the sea at night sounded from time to time, and Noah, who had been used to all of this, didn't feel noisy.

The wedding was very lively during the day. Although far away from the crowd, only Noah’s family lived here in silence and built the big ship, but the eldest son and the second son were also married long ago, not to mention there are several newborn children, a family of more than a dozen people. The wedding still makes the atmosphere quite warm and cozy.

However, outside of the wedding, Noah's heart was only sad.

Tomorrow, the big ship will be repaired, and many animals and plants have been assembled completely, even... the animals are actually gathering here on their own initiative, as if some kind of force drove them to do so.

Unlike the bewilderment of several sons and daughter-in-laws, Noah knew in his heart that he knew that the great flood that God had revealed to him was coming.

Noah was lying on the bed with his eyes open and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he stretched out his hand and took out the golden scroll from his side again...

That scroll that will emit a faint golden light even at night.

Looking at the scroll in his hand, it was still as clean as new even after 120 years, and Noah was silent.

One hundred and twenty years ago, what was his mood when he first saw the golden scroll, he couldn't remember exactly what it was, and he was shocked? Flustered? Can't believe it? deny? hesitate?

Maybe these feelings are there, but the only thing that Noah can't forget...

It is the deep fear.

"God, why do you want to destroy this world..."

Noah murmured.

He didn't want this world to be destroyed, his family, his memories, and his hometown, and everything else, these were too precious, and he didn't want these to disappear.

In the past, he did not know how many times he hoped that all this was just a dream, but every time he opened his eyes, he could see this silent golden scroll.

One hundred and twenty years, I don't know why, the time of the great flood recorded in the golden scroll is no more, no less, just one hundred and twenty years. That is to say, in the 120th year, he just happened to build this big ship, as if a force had already foreseen all this.

"..."

At this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a cold hand gently held his hand.

It's not as smooth and supple as it was more than a hundred years ago. The scars left by sewing due to work are uneven to the touch, which has witnessed the vicissitudes of the owner of the hand.

In the past hundred years, the owner of the hands has endured too much hardship, but Noah has never heard the owner of the hands complain to himself, not once. Even now, the owner of the hand is still comforting him silently.

There was a bit of complexity in Noah's eyes.

"We are a family, everything will be fine."

The woman gently stroked Noah's cheek with one hand, looked at her husband, then gently buried her head in Noah's arms, felt her husband's heartbeat, and said softly.

"everything will get better……"

The man beside her hugged her silently.

In the ears, only the sound of the tide remained unchanged, never changed.
