"Is this the beginning of everything?"
Richard looked at the final scene of the scroll and murmured softly.
The three great civilizations gave up their chance of survival, thoroughly nailing the future of the Civilization Devourer.
The flames dissipated, and the molten gold runes on the Miracle Furnace seemed to come alive, floating out from the furnace and merging into Richard's spirit space.
At the same time, a spark leapt from the furnace, transforming into the phantom of a Furnace Man Leader before Richard.
[My heir whom I have never met, I know you already understand that terrifying future, so I offer you a choice.
If you continue to hold the furnace, you will follow the future to that self-destructive end.
But if you think you lack the resolve, then abandon this furnace and choose a new master for it.
This is not cowardice, but wisdom.]
Looking at the Furnace Man Leader, a trace of mocking smile flashed across Richard's face.
