Chapter 521: Chapter 192: Dance (Part 3)

Only through reaching the pinnacle of devotion can the sanctity of the flames remain undying, allowing the world to persist.

In the prolonged prelude to demise, one girl after another stepped onto the stage, only to fall one by one.

They were devastated by the heat waves of the flames, depleting everything in the never-ending sacrifice. They once danced and sang with the purest faith, but ultimately, their dance lost its brilliance, and their songs harbored fear.

The Holy Fire thus weakened, and darkness seized the opportunity to drag them into the abyss.

As each girl fell, prayers turned into lamentations, and encouragement became curses. The collapsing people fled in all directions, leaving the stage deserted.

The accompaniment had long stopped, with only candles left from the Holy Fire.

Doomsday finally arrived, with only the desperate cries and pleas of the survivors at the dim end.

“Is there no one left? Is there no one who can offer prayers again?”

The sorrowful cry echoed, yet no one responded.

In the silent stillness of death, only one girl’s eyes sparkled.

She went against the scattering crowd and stepped onto the uninhabited stage.

When all the sounds had faded, she stood in the center of the stage and began to dance awkwardly in silence.

On the first day, on the silent stage, only the sound of the girl’s flying footsteps echoed in the emptiness, and the sparks floated but never extinguished.

On the second day, the dance continued, and the shed sweat became fuel, rekindling the Holy Fire, with the faint light illuminating the girl’s silhouette.

On the seventh day, a survivor sat in the audience seat, watching the uninterrupted dance of the girl, and he smiled gently, peacefully stopping his breath in the light.

On the thirty-first day, a world already nearing death welcomed its complete end; in the ruins, no civilization remained. But only on the stage, the fire light shone brightly.

On the three hundred and sixtieth day, the last survivor on the planet knelt in the ruins and devoutly worshiped the rising glow in the distance.

On the three thousand six hundredth day, the sacred flames turned into an ocean, sweeping over the earth, purifying all remaining darkness and evil.

On the thirty-six thousand sixty day, the Holy Fire covered the planet; on the blazing land, there were no traces of evil and life.

Yet, in the center of the endless sea of fire, the girl kept dancing.

She danced, she leaped, her divine dance unnoticed, yet it stirred the endless sea of fire.

She is the eternal dancer, the undying dancing girl.

The girl offered an unending dance, letting the Holy Fire engulf the earth, and the planet blaze fiercely, turning everything into a pure land of light and fire.

On the three hundred thousand and sixth day, the last piece of ground that could be stood upon melted, and the scorching lava swallowed the stage.

The girl finally halted her dance steps.

She smiled a satisfied yet lonely smile, as if returning to the shell of an eggshell-like bird, falling into the depths of the fireball, never to be seen again.

“And so, the Praying Light Dancer, finally vanished into the radiance.”

The sound of the picture book closing gently echoed.

“The dancer sister is so pitiful; even though the world has already ended, why does she still keep dancing?”

Looking at the sad and confused friend, the sky-blue girl smiled slightly and raised her finger towards the sky:

“Because she knows, although her world is destroyed, there must still be other worlds that need light, that need the illumination of the Holy Fire.”

In the sky, the dazzling and warm sun quietly hung, its light spreading across the earth, dispelling all gloom.

The girl’s voice, like a gentle breeze, swept through:

“See, she’s always there.”
