Time continued to flow, and after about a thousand years, your Wayne family grew stronger and stronger.

Although the demonic authority only grants limited enhancements to your offspring because you are still alive, it is enough to make them more gifted than their peers.

The bloodline of the brave has been effectively passed down. Although the bottleneck still exists, they are more likely to break through the bottleneck in their cultivation.

You don't know the specifics of the devouring ability; the Wayne family's new blood inherited some of it, but it's far inferior to yours.

For the past thousand years, the demons have been hoping for your demise, but now it's a group of demons who have been outlived by you.

Today is a special day.

As El's wife, Lisa possesses a lifespan of over a hundred years, which is normal for elves, and she even consumes vampires of the Grand Duke rank with El.

However, without the attribute of "you are what you eat," her vitality is not as good as El's.

As an elf, she met her end before her human husband.

Sensing her impending death, she sat calmly in the study, flipping through their family genealogy with her husband.

The elf's life form meant that, in her final years, apart from her hair turning white, her appearance remained largely unchanged.

"Sigh... El, I really didn't expect that the theory of lifespan would be realized in this way."

I've seen records of heroes before; their hometown has a technique called "cultivating immortality," which allows people to live for thousands of years.

Why is it that there's no cultivation of immortality in our world? As an elf, dying before you feels a little unfair.

"Every story has an end, and I will be with you through this final moment."

Holding Lisa's left hand, they sat in the study all day.

The younger generation of the Wayne family dared not say anything in front of their ancestor, who was dozens of generations removed from them.

A hero who has lived for a thousand years, no one knows how strong El is now.

After his wife's death, he secretly buried Lisa's coffin alone in the very center of the Wayne family's ancestral graveyard, next to his first-generation descendant who had been dead for many years.

He sat in front of the grave for three days and three nights without eating or drinking; he remained silent.

A few days later, he summoned the current core members of the Wayne family.

"Children, I have a secret to tell you, about the Demon King, the Hero, and me."

The Demon Clan's authority, the Hero's Holy Sword, and your special abilities—tell them the truth.

The descendants of the Wayne family were stunned at first. What did it mean that we could actually become the Demon King? What did it mean that we might be able to use the Holy Sword?

The fact that the demons call the power of the Lord of Gluttony is not surprising to them. The Wayne family's core development over the years has been in the monster breeding industry and the culinary world.

If they wanted to, they could develop excellent culinary skills, and the effect of becoming stronger by eating monsters was particularly noticeable in them.

"Ancestor, why did you summon us here?"

"I will hold a special funeral for myself, and perhaps some of you will inherit the demonic authority that I possess."

Just a heads-up, the world may be getting very different from now on.

You disappeared before they could ask for details, and no one knows how you left.

[You have arrived at the Wayne family cemetery. This is not only where your descendants are buried, but also where you once set up a ceremony, based on the layout of the Demon King's castle.]

"Are you ready to let the world accept my parting gift?"

El knew very well that his power had reached unimaginable levels, and his death would be a whale fall for the world.

The purpose of this ritual is to make this grand death, according to El's will, even more interesting.

After all, El didn't have any other wishes now; he just wanted to have some fun.

"Fight, slaughter, seize, devour, evolve, climb higher, for endless power."

The body transforms into fragments of light, and through the ritual, the power accumulated over a thousand years gradually spreads out.

The Wayne family members were the first to sense this change; they felt more power surging within them, accompanied by a kind of hunger.

"Food, bring me something to eat right now, I'm starving."

Fortunately, a lot of high-end monster dishes have been prepared here for today's meeting with El.

Evolution requires power, and their hunger was gradually satisfied.

No one noticed that one of them quietly left. When he passed by the monster breeding farm, the monsters inside became briefly agitated.

The effects of Al's death continue to reverberate.

Over these long years, although he didn't know what his talent was called, he had done enough research.

He amplified his ability to devour, and inscribed this power into every cell.

These cells continue to spread, merging into life, into plants, and even into the earth beneath our feet.

A hunger-driven will was born.

He single-handedly embedded a special power into the entire world. Although he couldn't reach the level of El, the whole world was truly affected.

The power that Al called the gluttonous trait, especially manifested in the Wayne family, is a characteristic that further defies common sense.

By devouring, one can gain more power. Even a blade of grass by the roadside, if it lives long enough, can pose a threat to the dragon.

Of course, as it grows, the deliciousness of this herb will continue to increase.

This is a different era, an era that may be dominated by hunting and hunger. What will it ultimately become? El doesn't know.

[The story of Al Wayne has come to an end. Simulation settlement in progress...]

You, Al Wayne, were born into an ordinary farmer's son in an unremarkable village.

[You possess a special talent that led you down an unexpected path after your first encounter with a monster.]

Slay vampires, hunt earth dragons, and as an adventurer, draw the holy sword in the royal capital to become a hero.

[You, single-handedly, slew the Four Heavenly Kings, swiftly defeated the Demon King, and ended the destiny between the Demon King's crown and the Holy Sword.]

[As the beginning of the Wayne family's rise, the world's strongest hero, you are renowned throughout the world simply by relying on your family's wealth.]

In the final moments of your life, you also used your abilities to completely change the future course of this world.

It is no exaggeration to say that you are the most undeniable presence in the history of this world; your name will never be forgotten.
