Even if Durin was really dead, Alex felt that the embers could pull him back.
"Ah? Brother Yu Jin, you're...still coming?" Du Lin, who was lying on the ground, felt like crying when he heard Yu Jin's words.
Now his brain was about to explode. If it came again, Du Lin felt that he had to send it.
"I'm here, what are you afraid of? I'm not your mother who only cares about your child's birth but not raising him. You can rest assured that I'm here." Yu Jin clapped his breastplate, making it clang.
"Mom must have some difficulties..." Du Lin argued a little unconfidently. Although his impression of Rhinedot was only a few vague whispers he heard.
"Yes, yes, your mother is the best." Yu Jin nodded. What is a mama's boy? He always mentioned his mother.
But mentally, Du Lin seems to be just a child. The case has been solved. Du Lin is not a mama's boy, but a child who lacks love.
"That's not the case. Brother Yu Jin is much better than mom." Du Lin shook his head. He was very honest, which was one of his strengths.
"You know I'm powerful but you still don't believe me? Do you really think your little body can withstand five times of torture?"
As Yu Jin said this, he stuffed Durin into the consciousness transfer container beside him.
Speaking of which, human wisdom is really amazing. They can transfer the soul using a pile of metal. It's amazing.
But Yu Jin didn't have any intention of studying. Just kidding, he had already learned all the lessons he would need in his lifetime.
It is better to let him fight than to ask him to study now.
"Okay, let's start!" Yu Jin closed the glass door of the container with a "snap", clapped his hands and said to Alex.
"Okay... okay!" Alex was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Jin throw Du Lin into the consciousness transfer device so smoothly, and then started the machine.
After a slight humming sound, the mountain-like dragon body in front of everyone began to rise and fall again.
This was followed by Du Lin's painful groan.
“Bear with it for a while.” Yu Jin stretched out his hand, and wisps of flames floated out from his hand and merged into the dim black circle on Durin’s chest.
A slightly burning ring gradually appeared above Du Lin's dark body.
Within the burning frame was eternal darkness, so dark that it stood out even against Durin's dark, flowing body.
It was absolute darkness, without any ripples, nothing but dead silence.
Du Lin suddenly felt something extra on his body, and a bottomless black hole appeared.
The madness and resentment in his mind... all that filled his mind and consciousness, like a flood that broke through a dam, all rushed into the black hole.
The pain gradually dissipated, and for the first time, Du Lin truly felt every bit of this new body.
It was a very empty feeling, and Du Lin felt like he was controlling a huge empty shell.
This body could tear apart the earth and fly high in the sky. But Du Lin felt it was fake, as if it would burst like a balloon if poked by a needle.
But Du Lin was in no mood to care about these things. Because when the madness in his mind disappeared, the next thing to disappear was Du Lin himself.
Suction came from his chest, and everything in Du Lin's mind became a little blurry. He felt like he was about to fall asleep, and all he saw before his eyes was light and shadow with no boundaries.
"My child, show your beauty proudly!" The soft female voice echoed in Du Lin's ears. It was the memory of his mother deep in his heart.
Du Lin suddenly opened his eyes. Rhinedot's voice awakened his instinct to survive. Du Lin didn't want to die, so he tried his best to fight against the suction that swallowed everything.
"Help..., someone please save me..."
"I don't want to die..."
"Dragon..., damn dragon..., I will never let you go even if I die!"
……
Du Lin finally understood the "poems" of the past. They were wailing, pain, and curses against him.
Du Lin now wanted to die again. He gave up resisting and let the black hole in his chest swallow everything he had.
"Huh?" Yi Jin felt that he had gained weight again. He raised his head and looked at Du Lin's dark body.
The black and shiny ink-oil skin became dull and rough. Not only that, but Durin's body also began to shrink and sink inward.
This is a sign of complete loss of humanity and the onset of transformation into a zombie.
"Tsk, why do you always want to escape?" Yu Jin shook his head, and even more intense flames surged from his body towards the Ring of Darkness.
The flames suddenly rose, and the blazing flames even eroded the eternal darkness. Only fire could suppress the darkness of lost humanity.
Du Lin was no longer confused. He was now clearer than ever before. He knew the meaning of "singing and dancing" and "joyful singing and dancing".
"Woo..."
It was hard to imagine that such a huge dragon could cry. Moreover, it was also a wonder that Durin's ghostly body could cry.
"Stop crying, boy. Feel your body." Yu Jin kicked Du Lin and reminded him.
"Woo..., there is... inside my body..., there may be..." Du Lin's sobbing suddenly stopped.
His body was still empty, but there was a hint of pure white in the emptiness. Du Lin looked carefully and saw that it was a shadow.
A small, confused shadow whose face cannot be seen clearly and may disappear at any time.
The phantom seemed to have only a shape, and as for other things, there was nothing.
It was looking around, as if it was very curious about this huge dark space.
As for why it is curious about the darkness, it may be because it knows nothing.
In the darkness, two huge red lights shone out - they were Durin's huge red eyes.
The extremely oppressive black dragon head was looming in the red light, making Durin look even more ferocious.
However, the pure white shadow did not feel any fear. It even stretched out its equally illusory arm and touched Du Lin's nose.
The silhouette-like arm touched Durin's dark and flowing skin and penetrated directly through it.
The shadow retracted his arm and looked at his palm in surprise, as if he was also curious about the fact that he could not touch Du Lin.
Du Lin felt nothing. He looked at the shadow in front of him, and suddenly a feeling of cowardice and shame surged in his heart.
He suddenly retracted his head. Joy, confusion, shock... all kinds of complicated feelings intertwined in Du Lin's heart. He said incoherently:
"Brother Ember, what...what is that?"
"What is that?" Yu Jin touched his chin, looked at the dark ring on Durin's chest and said with a smile:
"Those are the dead people you redeemed with your lost humanity."

"My...humanity?"
There was a hint of doubt in Du Lin's scarlet eyes. His mind was not yet mature and he did not understand human nature very well.
"Well... you can understand it as something essential about you! Your happiness, pain, and everything else. That's human nature."
Yu Jin stroked his chin and briefly explained the concept of human nature to Du Lin.
"The ring on your chest is the hole where your humanity is leaking out. Try your best to remain human, oh no, everything about being a dragon!"
"After all, only in this way can you continue to save those you have hurt."
"Save the people I've hurt?" Du Lin repeated Yu Jin's words. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and the light that burst out even dyed the entire factory scarlet.
"hold head high--"
Du Lin felt a surge of air swirling in his chest. Following the feeling in his heart, he raised his head and let out a long dragon roar that resounded through the sky.
"Hehe." Yu Jin covered his ears and smiled as he watched Alex and Bayeta rolling on the ground because of the noise, but did not stop Du Lin.
Alex and Bayeta had died countless times while creating Dulin's body. Even if they died of noise this time, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But they did not die in the end. After all, Du Lin's deafening roar was not enough to kill people.
The dragon's roar stopped, Alex and Bayeta stood up, rubbed their ears that were bleeding, and looked at Durin for a long time without saying a word.
"Brother Alex, Sister Bayeta, I'm... I'm sorry!" When Du Lin saw the blood flowing from their ears, he immediately retracted his head.
"What? Du Lin, what did you say?"
"Louder! I can't hear you!"
"Dulin is apologizing!"
Now Alex and Bayeta heard it, and Ember's words were like a good medicine, bringing the sound back to their ears.
"Apology? No need for that." Alex looked at Du Lin who had retracted his head into his wings, smiled and shook his head.
Although he had such a ferocious body, he made such childish movements. Du Lin was still the Du Lin he was familiar with, the self-abased, love-deprived, and sensitive young dragon.
"Alex, tell me... are we done?" Bayeta looked at Dulin's inky black body, his voice trembling.
She knew that Durin's consciousness could only remain stable thanks to the strength of the Embers, but Bayeta no longer cared about that.
During the extended time, she understood a lot. She, Bayeta, clearly knew that she had done her best to turn the remaining resentment into a physical entity.
Bayeta is not a genius like Rhinedot. She is just a teacher with some talent in the Kanreya Alchemy Academy, that's all.
She felt that she had no regrets in her life as she was able to create such a stunning thing with the help of God.
“Phew, it must have worked. Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe Master Ember, right?”
Alex grinned and rubbed his shoulders. The endless overtime was finally over. Next, he could go back to his old days of playing badly!
"Are you satisfied now? This is just the beginning." Yu Jin opened his arms and hugged Alex and Bayeta's necks at the same time.
"I'm already very satisfied. I can do this thanks to Lord Yujin." Bayeta felt that it was not good for Yujin to hug her like that, so she pushed him away. Fortunately, he didn't move at all.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the pinnacle of machinery." Alex nodded. The skeleton of Durin's dark body was made using Kanreya mechanical technology.
Alex used all his knowledge, combined with the unprecedented rotation of the sun and moon, to finally create a machine that could exist stably in the endless darkness.
Alex looked at Dulin's body and smiled with relief.
Durin's body still shone with luster, and the flowing black seemed to be ready to drip down at any time. Although Durin's body was made of tar, it still maintained the shape of a dragon.
What made all this possible was the brown steel that was faintly visible around Durin's huge body.
Because of them, the originally flowing darkness was restricted and turned into the shape of a dragon in the continuous flow.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like it's up to you, Du Lin, to surpass the Golden Road next."
