If not for the slightly cool small hand in his palm, Li Mo would have almost ceased to feel his own existence. The jade phoenix god, an existence from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that had long since vanished, was stimulated by countless anomalies—some still existing, some having vanished into time unknown—to unleash an endless Qi.
And it brought them a sealed piece of the past.
Li Mo saw that the Qi condensed into a figure.
It was a figure no different from a Mortal; she wore a dress woven from cloud and mist, but her face was covered by obscurity, making it unclear. Yet, he could feel her compassionate gaze.
Before her was a scarred land, a dim sun that seemed on the verge of extinguishing.
The sun was about to extinguish, great chaos was about to erupt, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were filled with turmoil, seemingly on the verge of complete destruction and silence after a final frenzy.
“This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.”
Within the soft female voice, like an undercurrent beneath the water, calmness concealed anger. freewebnσvel.cøm
“The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths cannot be without a sun.”
“I am willing to forgo the opportunity for Ascension to illuminate all living beings.”
From a divine tree that reached the sky, a sighing male voice came.
It was a three-legged divine bird; it was faster than its words. When its voice echoed in their ears, it had already flapped its wings and soared into the azure sky, crashing towards the dying sun.
But how could its power maintain the eternal sun?
So Li Mo saw a scene he had once witnessed on an extreme form.
Countless Golden Crows surged forward from the divine tree, one after another, tracing brilliant arcs in the twilight sky, rushing towards death to reignite the sun.
Spanning a long period of time.
The divine charm Li Mo had never truly comprehended was now silently experienced firsthand.
He also learned the reason why the sun had suddenly extinguished.
A powerful being among the myriad races Ascended, and during their Ascension, they stole the Dao of the Sun that had been under its keeping.
It was not the only Immortal Ascension who had taken heavily from the world that nurtured them before leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The ‘Dao’ would slowly replenish itself, and the world would gradually heal itself.
But this was far from matching the speed at which it was taken.
And losing the ‘Dao’ meant that any existence related to that Dao would perish, either quickly or slowly.
The woman led her clan, traveling between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, witnessing countless things, and clans being destroyed before her eyes.
She preserved True Souls as seeds, engraving them into her ‘God.’ Over time, her Yi Soul gradually became as clear as jade.
At some unknown point.
The woman looked up at the moon, and he could feel her gentle smile.
She spoke words with indiscernible syllables, yet their meaning was incredibly clear:
“O existences of later generations.”
“Are the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths safe and sound?”
After murmuring to the moon, she quickly continued her journey. Her back gradually receded into the distance, eventually blurring completely and then disappearing.
The scene receded from Li Mo’s eyes, and he could no longer see this ancient scene from many years ago.
Only an inexplicable emotion remained surging in his heart.
He slightly raised his head.
Before him was a jade-like radiance, the very source of those anomalies—the jade phoenix god.
“Nine-Colored Yuanhuang...”
“Did she leave everything before her ‘Immortal Ascension’?”
Li Mo couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
It's also possible that she never left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at all...
So the sun isn't formed by Golden Crows?
The sun was also one at that time.
How could history record the Great Yu Emperor's Incarnation as the great sun?
Xiao Li suddenly felt like he had too many questions.
Was this something he could consider right now?
Shaking his head, he looked to his side. The Ice Cube was still in a daze, apparently having also seen the scene just now.
Mm.
Ying Bing indeed found it difficult to recover.
She had never seen these things from the jade phoenix god before, and the difference from her previous life was...
Her eyes, deep and profound, looked at the person beside her.
It was him.
........
Just as Xiao Li and a certain Ice Cube were watching an ancient movie.
The Yao Race outside still didn't know what they had experienced, yet they couldn't see anything. After staring blankly for a long time, they decided to predict the outcome.
“Rational analysis.”
A great Yao from the Bifang Clan said:
“Luan Bing is extremely fast, and her combat skills alone are beyond our reach. I think she has a greater chance of winning.”
“Yes, if she grabs Wu Mo and drops him from high in the sky, Wu Mo will definitely be smashed badly.”
“But Wu Mo is strong and has strong defenses. Didn't you see him go head-to-head with a Rift Sea Dragon Whale?”
Manbo expressed his disagreement. No matter how high the skill, it's useless if you can't get started.
Wu Mo, by physique, was definitely the legendary king of endurance.
The Giant Whale Clan agreed wholeheartedly. They never used combat skills, always being very simple and unadorned, yet didn't they still dominate one side of the South Sea?
The great Yao of the Bifang Clan was then speechless, so he turned back and said:
“Are all of us Qin Race rookies who aren't proficient in combat?”
“All water race Fourth and Fifth Ranks, come out!”
Wu Qing refused to be outdone.
“If he summons wind and rain, how can birds fly?”
“I personally saw her traverse the azure sky, leaving frost in her wake, freezing everything. If she uses that move, how will Wu Mo respond?”
“True Dragon Bloodline can summon clouds and mists, and their speed is not slow!”
“He has never used that move; aren't you fabricating things out of thin air?”
“Mastering ice and frost is not something the Qingluan Clan, or even the True Phoenix Bloodline, can do. Where did you hear those unreliable rumors?”
“I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Your cross-eyes are blind.”
“Wah-yah-yah, Clan Leader Shang, say something!”
The Qin Race looked at a certain Qingluan Clan Chief with indignation and sorrow.
“Hmm...”
Shang Qinqing spat out a melon seed and said after a moment of silence:
“I guess our Qingluan Goddess might have her little foot caught by Wu Mo.”
“Huh?”
Why are you boosting the morale of others and dampening your own?
What usually happens when a bird's foot is bitten by a snake? This is pretty much the same for the Yao Race.
But before the water race could laugh, they heard her say again:
“But it’s also possible that if she makes up her mind, she might be able to grab Wu Mo’s head and swing him left and right.”
Well, which head it is remains to be seen.
But the Qin Race nodded, finding it very reasonable.
Swing left and right?
While a bit primitive, it was a good way to break free from control.
Don't look at Clan Leader Shang constantly cracking melon seeds and sometimes being incoherent; she's an old bird after all, and her combat experience is quite rich.
“But after hearing Clan Leader Shang say that, it's still hard to distinguish between their victory or defeat, isn't it?”
“If they fight like that... Hiss, it's definitely going to be brutal.”
“Who says it isn't!”
As the Yao Race spoke, they couldn't bear to think further, becoming increasingly nervous, their hearts lodged in their throats.
Shang Qinqing smiled without speaking, as if she held victory in her grasp.
It was just that her smile carried a touch of humor.
.....
Inside the jade phoenix god.
After the scene disappeared, this jade phoenix god, carrying myriad True Souls, still floated quietly there, but its significance had already ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) changed from before.
Did it seem to have gained some weight?
“You...” × 2
“You first...” again × 2.
Their eyes met.
Both remained silent simultaneously.
Waiting for the other to speak first.
.....
ps: Asking for the audience's favor, it's another day of wanting to be recharged, eh heh
