Feicui Long then returned to his palace, observed all possible visions, and saw that in all the ones where he survived, this universe was destroyed by the war between his empire and the three combined forces of his brothers, with his master missing and this universe wounded and weakened. If he fought for his survival, in the end there would only remain a universe so devastated by war that it would be unrecognizable, but also only he would remain… Mariane, his disciples, and everyone else would die.
It was a depressing situation. Himself or this universe? This thought made him sink into a thread of thoughts… the feelings within him swirled… as he remembered everything, the smile of the little boy Fernando, Lucretia smiling at him when she was a child and they ate and slept together, the small pleasant talks with his master in the garden of the palace…
Such sweet, but so painful memories… his heart hurt, it hurt so much. He had so much fury, so much rage, so much anger, he wanted to go and wipe out the Feilou clan, but he didn't have the strength, he didn't have it… without the universal suppression he was no match for a peak absolute king, no, not even for one who surpassed grade 5…
Feicui Long, the emerald-golden dragon of space and time, could not hold back a tear, because the pain of losing Fernando burned in his soul and heart. Losing Lucretia made his heart bleed. His other brothers hurt him… the disappearance of his master Selene, the most precious being, shook his spirit and mind, although he had the hope that she was alive.
Feicui Long, after the war, with time to think… with just what had already happened, he was on the verge of breaking, but knowing that he would die… at the hands of his brothers, and even worse, in front of three of his most precious siblings: Yun Hua, Catalina Lancaster, Heidi Rosenberg…
It was the push that led him to a bottomless abyss… all these things hurt him more than any other enemy in this life ever could… The dragon may not have died in the war, but everything that mattered did…
Feicui Long, regaining his mind, shook his head and went to the library. If this was going to happen, he had to organize everything for his departure…
He left first for Fernando's homeworld. Although he had set up a defensive formation, the impacts of the war were still felt, since Fernando's world was in the northern sector of the universe. In fact, it was one of the worlds he teleported along with its star system. The world and the system almost broke from the impacts of the war, so he had to create a new formation for the entire system.
Both to protect Fernando's tomb, where he was going to bury him, and to protect the system and facilitate the healing of the entire system, including the world, in addition to helping to hide and protect his divine authority. The formation would also make use of the laws and energies for that. This would limit the maximum cultivation to the celestial divine realm, but that didn't matter, and of course it would limit the entry of external beings to the spiritual palace realm. After doing so, Feicui Long took him to the room that both he and Fernando had prepared for Fernando's final rest. He hugged him with tears in his eyes, gently closed his eyes and arranged his body, softly placing his coffin in the room.
Then he said: "Rest, little one, rest… your brother will soon join you…"
Subsequently, he did the same with Lucretia's star system which, although it was not in the northern sector, he did not want anyone to profane his siblings' tombs or take their authorities. He hugged her a little before arranging her body and leaving her looking beautiful in her crystal coffin. Then he said: "Rest, little one, rest, your brother is very sorry… I will join you soon."
During the following days, he buried the other dead siblings in their homeworlds and hid their authorities. He also placed a formation like the one in Fernando's world to protect them.
Then he went to the palace library. Agnes received him with sorrow, and he could only smile sadly and hug her. He went to search for something his master had taught them all: the abyssal devouring formation of feelings and senses. She had told them how this was one of the worst punishments that existed, capable of devouring feelings, good and bad alike, the senses, the memories, and the personality, until it devoured the person, their spirit, soul, and mind, leaving behind a lifeless shell…
Feicui Long wanted to use it on himself, but he needed to see how it was. He was going to modify it for a single purpose: to devour nothing but his negative feelings. When he found it, he began to work on that…
After a few days inside his palace, he went down to a very luxurious secret room. In it, a person, a devil, was eating calmly. The devil looked at him and said: "Why do you come here, elder brother?"
Feicui Long spoke to him in an apologetic tone: "Aldebarand, I came to grant you your wish… I'm sorry for what I'm going to have to do…"
Aldebarand responded with sarcasm and said: "At last, will you give me my wish? And you even apologize? How shameless can you be, Feicui Long, you locked me up here, took away my part of the divine authority, and on top of that set up a formation that absorbs my energy so I can't escape…"
Feicui Long, in a sad and resigned tone, said: "No, you know I did it to protect you from the consequences of the war that you yourself provoked. Even Mallicus wanted to kill you, haven't you understood? Without me, not even your soul would remain."
Then Feicui Long added: "Your half of the supreme divine authority of the demons I gave to your brother, because the authority needs both working together, as you are twins and it was divided at your birth. So I needed to restore it completely, and the last part is precisely so you don't try to stop it and, on top of that, interfere with your brother from here."
Aldebarand laughs and says: "I only wanted freedom, you don't understand, Feicui Long, not the way you would need to, because you have no ambition, greed, desire. You only live for others, not for yourself. That is why you couldn't advance to absolute king. I no longer care, do it, grant me my wish, kill and free me from this eternal prison."
Feicui Long ignored the mocking words, and with pain in his chest, he froze Aldebarand's body in time so he wouldn't feel the slightest pain and then killed him quickly. For the formation, you need the power of a being with abysmal power. Depending on the power, you need a being of similar power. Aldebarand had it, but also you need one that has a strong spiritual, soul, and mental attribute. Aldebarand also had that. He was an abyssal nightmare demon. He had only planned to use his demon core, his origin core, and his origin blood.
Feicui Long wouldn't have killed him even if he needed to. It was the fact that his brother always asked him and preferred that he kill him that determined him to grant him his wish… Feicui Long didn't know that Aldebarand would purposely leave a fragment behind to modify the formation to help his brother in secret…
…
After this, Feicui Long, with his feelings sealed, was running from here to there, making preparations. He began secretly and very carefully moving his temple and his empire to the central sector of the universe, which was the only one without the presence of any force from the empires of his brothers or their subordinates. Although there were some traces of their temples, they were very small since his temple dominated here. Also, this sector belonged to his master and her palace. That's why they didn't try to expand.
But he not only moved them there. He prepared a formation so large, so vast, that it covered the sector completely, isolating it from the other sectors, only for entry, of course. Those who lived inside could go in and out with limitations, since the formation detected power related to his brothers or the Feilou clan and wouldn't let them return.
So it was specifically designed for those of his empire and temple, who were the only ones that could go in and out freely. The formation was very strong, and he also used his absolute rank creation at magnum opus level as the core, which he placed in his master's palace, specifically where the palace guardian was located.
The guardian would attack anyone she didn't recognize or if his master didn't tell her not to attack, but also, since she had seen Feicui Long more than anyone, he asked her, although he knew she wouldn't understand, to please protect him. So, added to the fact that trying to destroy something inside the palace would trigger her attack, plus what he asked of her, he believed she could protect him from harm.
As for the remnants of the other temples inside, he didn't care because the formation prohibited teleportation and the opening of portals and other spatial modifications by those who were not from his temple or empire, especially because he used his divine authority to strengthen it.
With this, he used practically almost all his personal resources. In fact, he had to borrow from his dead brothers, a third of it. He felt horribly bad. That's why he placed their treasures and distributed them so that their children could find them, including their divine authorities. But the treasures he placed in formations that called them so they could find them more easily…
While he was doing this, his brothers and sisters began what was called the war of rebellion, in which 6 more of his siblings would die: Alonso, Aravind, Dmitri, Liang Shen, Ronald, Saejin Nam, the Supreme God of the elemental clan, the plant clan, the magic clan, the spiritual clan, the mushroom clan, the law of the void and the clan of the void.
Unfortunately, he couldn't save them, which hurt his heart a lot. But when he saw that Adolf killed Saejin Nam and Aravind but couldn't take anything because Yun Hua and Catalina interrupted him, he took the opportunity to rescue their bodies. The invading forces in each of the remaining home worlds were completely annihilated by him. He checked every last corner; nothing could hide from him. Then he buried them in those same home planets and hid their divine authorities there. He also placed a formation like the one in Fernando's world to prevent foreigners from entering, along with other protections.
In the following deaths, Yun Hua and Catalina arrived in time, but while they were fighting with Alonso and Liang Shen, Adolf killed them from behind. This would have made him extremely angry if it weren't for his sealed feelings, but even so, it made him frown, because the cold-blooded nature of their deaths was obvious. It was almost as if he knew they would never surrender to him, so he killed them so they wouldn't escape toward Yun Hua and Catalina. With them, he did the same as with the others.
As for the last two, Catalina killed Dmitri and Yun Hua killed Ronald… Feicui Long also gave them the same honors as the others.
…
After this, Feicui Long finished preparing everything, including the crystal coffin for Mariane, but he had to pretend that everything was still functional. So it wasn't until the last minute that he pretended to give the evacuation order to those who lived in his divine kingdom.
Feicui Long, on his throne, spoke to Emerald, Amethyst and Topaz and said: "We'll meet again soon… I promised you, didn't I? We'll always be together, no matter how much time passes… I'll always be with you, so don't cry, just sleep peacefully…"
It was then that the united forces of his 21 brothers besieged his divine kingdom. It was then when they entered and found him. Feicui Long knew he couldn't defeat them in his current state. Thanks to the fight with Bashara, the poison had burst inside him and spread when he transformed into a dragon.
Now just containing the poison took 90% of his strength, so this battle was certain death. He had already seen it, he already knew how he was going to die. He couldn't run either, so if he was going to die, he would do it by teaching them something, because he, Feicui Long, was the most powerful god of all.
He had nothing to fear now. He had guaranteed his reincarnation thanks to the technique of Yuna Mikoto, the Supreme Goddess of reincarnation and destiny. This technique was called the 7 phases of life of the threads of destiny. It would guarantee the survival of his soul and reincarnation, and it would allow him to take important things with him… also, the spatial prison formation he had placed would ensure both that his soul could reincarnate and that his body would not be desecrated…
Isabella could see it, how the dragon fought, fought for days, even mortally wounded, with a poison designed to kill him from two realms above him. He kept fighting. They outnumbered him, but he never gave up. This was his will, his will to kneel before no one, not even before the cruel mockery of destiny.
If he was going to die, he would die on his own terms. It was not destiny's right to decide. With this, the sovereign of space, time and dragons fought to the death, leaving an unforgettable memory in the universe and in his traitorous and ungrateful brothers.
Isabella now understood Mariane's rage, a man who gave everything for them, even the last of himself for them, taught them a lot, protected them, gave them love and care, a place they could seek. But how did they repay him? By killing him and the rest of his surviving brothers... especially Adolf, who was the cause of all this...
Now she understood why he had broken, why he had preferred to escape this harsh reality. A person like him is not able to withstand this, the pain of losing what he loves the most, but also being betrayed by what remains. It is an indescribable pain...
That is when Isabella was taken out, from the world of memories and back to the present world by Feicui Long, but she did not know that when she left, a topaz energy that had enveloped her body disappeared...
