Chapter 1 Nirasong

Nirasong was powerful, not only in terms of status but also in combat strength. Within the entire Triangular Pyramid Clan, it was considered top-tier. Although it couldn't contend with the Apostle, it ranked among the top three of all followers.

Compared to Li Tianran, who hadn't even completed his second evolution, it was practically a god.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Li Tianran would be severely injured and on the verge of death with just a flick of Nirasong's finger!

But at this moment, Nirasong simply allowed Li Tianran to grab its collar and shake it wildly. There wasn't a trace of anger in its eyes, only an intense pity and sorrow.

In the ancient civilization, Nirasong didn't even know the specific reason why the Earth Apostle became an infant during this slumber, choosing a different slumber method from the other Apostles!

It didn't even know why the Earth Apostle could reverse genetic vitality, turning from an adult to a child!

It only knew that the Earth Apostle's choice seemed to be related to the Great Destruction.

"You lost your loved ones, and I lost mine..." Nirasong finally reached out and pressed on Li Tianran's shoulder. With the Earth Apostle's consciousness and Hanhan both gone, the sorrow in its heart was no less than Li Tianran's, so it understood him very well and could empathize.

"And in a sense, my loved ones were killed by you. Logically speaking, I should be more angry than you."

Nirasong looked at Li Tianran expressionlessly, "But we should both understand that this anger is meaningless. Even if we kill each other, our loved ones won't come back."

Hearing Nirasong's words, Li Tianran slowly calmed down.

He released Nirasong's collar, his emotions subsided, and after a few seconds, he turned and continued walking forward.

"This used to be the South City agricultural market. One of the fish stalls often sold fresh river shrimp, all caught fresh every day, cheap and delicious... We couldn't afford seafood before, so when we wanted to treat ourselves, we would buy some river shrimp and stir-fry them."

Li Tianran walked forward and pointed in another direction, "That's where our village's kindergarten was."

"Hanhan went to school there. I still remember how swollen her eyes were when she cried on her first day..."

"This is the health clinic. Hanhan was quite afraid of coming here... There was a time when she had a high fever and often came here for injections. Later, she would hide far away whenever she saw someone wearing a white coat!"

"This is the only small supermarket in our town..."

Li Tianran stopped in front of a half-collapsed two-story building. The steel bars and iron products inside had been taken away by the military, leaving only the brick walls with wind blowing through them.

At this time, a tattered sign hung on the front wall, covered in a thick layer of dust.

Nirasong narrowed its eyes, and an invisible wave suddenly exploded, causing the dust on the sign to be swept away as if by a gale, revealing several large characters below.

Lao San Supermarket.

A very common name.

"The owner of this supermarket looked very fierce, and many children were afraid of him, but he was actually a pretty good person... There was a time when something happened to my parents, and the farm didn't earn much money, so I took Hanhan to set up a small stall in front of this supermarket, specializing in selling fried skewers and grilled sausages..." Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then pointed to a corner of the two-story building and said, "Right there."

Generally, there would be some stalls selling cotton candy or fast food in front of supermarkets, but most of them were run by the supermarket owner's own relatives or himself. Although there were no clear laws, most people assumed that the area in front of the supermarket also belonged to the supermarket owner, even if he didn't have the property certificate for that piece of land...

If someone rashly came here to do business, the supermarket owner would definitely drive them away like a tiger guarding its territory, because the other party doing business in front of his door would definitely affect his income!

But the supermarket owner didn't drive Li Tianran away back then, perhaps because he knew about his situation, and even gave him some help...

Specifically, an old parasol.

Although this thing wasn't worth much, for Li Tianran, the supermarket owner not chasing him away was already kind enough, and then to donate a parasol for free...

When it comes to matters of interest, many acquaintances and friends may not be able to do this.

"Where is he now?" Nirasong was silent for a moment, then asked softly.

"I don't know..." Li Tianran shook his head, "After the world changed and a large number of beast tides erupted, South City was attacked several times. He might... already be dead."

In fact, even if the beast tide hadn't attacked this supermarket, during the famine that broke out earlier, supermarkets and granaries were already the focus of many thugs. Perhaps at that time, this supermarket had already been destroyed...

"That's the Niuwei River, the moat of South City... There's a shallow section near the farm. When the river dries up in the summer, we go to the river beach to catch crabs and yellow eels. There are many vendors selling toys and snacks on both sides of the river, it's very lively."

"But after the disaster, the temperature dropped sharply, and sea beasts often sneaked in along the river, so this place became a deserted area that no one dared to approach."

Li Tianran and Nirasong stood on both sides of the riverbank. In the river beneath their feet, the yellow-brown water flowed潺潺, but it didn't seem to have any vitality, instead, it was full of death.

At a bend in the river, there was also a decaying carcass of a sea beast, emitting a pungent stench.

The flowing water passed over the carcass of the sea beast, blocked by its huge body, and the foul-smelling water overflowed the riverbank and flowed towards the land on both sides, soaking the dry land into a dangerous muddy swamp. If this continued, this town's land would be completely submerged before long.

Shell holes, scorched earth, wreckage, ruins, swamps.

The once beautiful town was now unrecognizable.

"You can't see what it used to be like here at all." Li Tianran sighed, "This place is already a ruin, a land of death."

Nirasong stood in place for a long time. Suddenly, it leaped into the river. Immediately afterward, the carcass of the sea beast that was causing the blockage at the bend in the river was easily dragged out of the mud by it and thrown onto the bank. Without the blockage, the river returned to its course and flowed happily forward.

Nirasong was covered in sewage, and its pale hair was sticking to its face. Without any apparent action, countless materialized rays of lightning burst out in the air. The rays of lightning collided with each other, producing violent sparks, which fell on the carcass of the sea beast, burning it to ashes.

"Since you can't see what this town used to look like..." Nirasong took a deep breath and said softly, "Then I'll rebuild one!"

"Starting with this river!"
