Chapter 136: The Incident on the Luxury Airship (4)
There is nothing in this world that is eternal.
The passionate love that promised to never change eventually cools, as though it was never there. Even the mighty empire that once ruled the world, no matter how powerful, crumbles after a few centuries and fades into history.
Yet, ironically, this is inevitable.
Living creatures are inherently flawed beings, with death as their only eventuality. What they create cannot possibly last forever.
Tempest, who is often hailed as the pinnacle of life forms, knew this all too well. In fact, he could feel it deeply, having lived for such an incredibly long time.
"Ugh, it feels like problems are piling up more and more every day. It seems like I can only stay awake for a bit longer..."
With wrinkles covering his face, Tempest stared quietly out the window, his expression filled with contemplation.
But what he was looking at wasn’t the view outside; it was his own past.
The reflection of Tempest in the glass showed an ancient dragon, having lived for thousands of years. He had once been called the Dragon King in another world.
He held a status that could only be described as one of the most powerful dragons to ever exist.
However, no matter how powerful Tempest was, he was still a living being. His lifespan had its limits.
And for him, those limits were nearing. He estimated he had perhaps only a few decades left. It might seem like a lot to someone else, but to an ancient species, it was but a fleeting moment.
