Once the decline appeared, it was irreversible.
The balance of Heavenly Human City, between destruction and rebirth, was instantly tipped.
The crowd could not see what was happening high above, only nine raging Dragons flying out from the great sun, full of majesty and inviolable power.
Had the Imperial Court finally made its move?
Many people showed joyful expressions.
But what they didn't know was that the means manifested by the national destiny were the source of the disaster...
Ying Bing stood alone before the Taiyin, the Qi of the three Yuanhuang souls, symbolizing birth and death, flickering between her brows.
The Blood Phoenix Essence, Scarlet Phoenix Qi, and jade phoenix god, all shone brightly, guiding the incomplete Tianhuang Domain towards completion. For others, this was a matter of life and death, but for her, it was not difficult to achieve.
Yet, at this crucial moment, she also had to contend with external enemies.
The Mid-Moon Yin in Ying Bing's palm, with its slightly lowered tip, now pointed upwards, drawing a perfect full moon. The sword was like time flowing backward, blocking the nine Dragon shadows.
Time flowed like water, but the national destiny was endless, ebbing and flowing, disappearing and re-gathering.
The shadows of the nine Dragons continued to descend.
Crack—
They were pulling down the sky.
"Heaven and Earth unite, all things return to one, immortals pity the world, the other shore descends..."
The sound seemed to be emitted by hundreds of billions of living beings at once; the booming whispers were beyond the comprehension of Mortals.
As the sound grew louder and more complex, the starlight from the jiangshan sheji map shone brightly!
The unfolding scene before her stirred a ripple in Ying Bing's serene heart.
This ripple originated from familiarity.
It was as if she had witnessed it firsthand a long, long time ago.
"Do you want to do this again?" Her tone was calm, but her heart searched for the source of that familiar feeling.
Clearly, she hadn't experienced anything similar in her previous life.
"Hehe..."
Empress Chu Ge's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, as if her conjecture had been confirmed: "It seems you remembered your true existence very early on. No wonder... no wonder besides your excellent talent, you also understand so many things that don't belong to your Realm."
"No wonder you went to the Southern Border in advance, took the jade phoenix god, and blocked Han Zhen."
"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs. The Great Dao is impartial. You said you had truly died, but you lied! You are the most sanctimonious deceiver in all of Heaven and Earth! Because of you, I now have to be cautious even while wearing human skin..."
Ying Bing wore a cold expression, as if disdainful of Chu Ge's outburst.
Deceiver?
What had she deceived the other party about?
Was this the reason why the other party was so insistent on keeping her, even if it meant destroying the Tianhuang Domain?
No... Ying Bing recalled a person she had seen in the jade phoenix god and in dreams, someone who had already vanished.
Ying Huang?
What did the leader of the Nine Immortals mean by 'those who learn from her live, those who resemble her die'?
Ying Bing's thoughts became somewhat chaotic.
"Oh, right, your pawn is almost finished. Are you still hoping he'll come to help you?"
Empress Chu Ge's voice came again.
"He..."
"Hmm?"
Chu Ge was startled; she noticed Ying Bing had changed slightly.
Specks of phoenix feathers appeared, then were gradually ignited. The unquenchable true phoenix intent, carrying her Qi, grew increasingly terrifying.
"He is not a pawn."
A hand as white as jade reached out, pointing in mid-air towards the part of the Tianhuang Domain occupied by the jiangshan sheji map, which was the great sun in the sky.
The current Tianhuang Domain was like a taut rope, with both sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
Both sides possessed immense strength, locked in a stalemate.
But now, the Heavenly Human City Realm was almost unable to bear it.
It was likely that before either side could win, nothing would remain.
"In a last resort, you can give your body to me... or rather, another you."
A thought not her own emerged from the depths of Ying Bing's mind.
She knew who it was.
It was Ying Huang.
The Tianhuang Domain originally belonged to the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang; no one could wield greater control than Ying Huang.
But... what was the price?
Would she, from then on, no longer be herself?
...A corner of the Heavenly Human City Realm.
The wild wind swirled, a vortex churning a thousand-zhang storm.
The storm destroyed everything; along its path, even granite was reduced to nothing by the wind.
"So, I've already undergone Reincarnation many times..."
Feng Zhi stood alone at the edge of the Human City, where the wild winds raged, her eyes gradually becoming complex.
These many Reincarnations didn't begin with the Heavenly Human Trial; they started from a much more distant past, and she had also remembered where she came from.

Standing here today, facing a choice, was also something she had done countless times.
"But this is the first time I've had a sister and a brother-in-law..."
Feng Zhi looked back.
In the Heavenly City, a crimson giant stood amidst the ruins. No one knew what he was still holding on to, but everyone knew he was once the Son of the Wilderness.
The Taiyin still hung high in that sky, which was no longer free.
Even after walking this far, it was still like being in front of the stove in Great King Village; she could turn around and see their two figures.
"I hope this is also the last time."
Folding the large red floral cotton jacket and placing it back where it was, Feng Zhi's figure vanished.
The next second, she appeared in the eye of the storm, transforming into a gentle breeze.
She had found her destination and would carry the storm with her on her return journey...
"I can't escape, and neither can you..."
Standing amidst the ruins, Li Mo's vision was blurred, and the words the Blood God had just spoken still echoed in his ears.
The power of all beings from the «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» outside world continued to flow in, which was why he, despite being covered in blood and unable to move, could still maintain his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.
He no longer had the mental energy to ponder the deeper meaning of those words.
His gaze, with difficulty, pierced through the dissipating blood clouds. What first appeared in his eyes were the scattered Heavenly and Earthly Cities.
Broken walls and crumbling ruins, countless corpses.
He now stood very high, so high that he couldn't hear the sounds below, yet he could see what was happening further away.
As Heaven and Earth merged, natural disasters were everywhere.
Volcanoes erupted, spewing crimson debris, and rolling thick smoke raised dust, plunging the area into darkness.
The withered ground, like rotten biscuits, was torn apart by the Dragon and snake rising from the land, then violently collided and compressed together.
A thousand-zhang storm raged, like a shredder pulling all things into it, churning them into its claw-like outer garment.
In a short while.
Here, even silence would cease to exist, becoming a void.
The proud Heavenly Clan members were returning themselves to this deep Heaven and Earth.
How similar was this to the moths drawn to a flame that Li Mo had seen in the Tianhuang Domain?
That gentle, watery gaze met his across time.
Quietly waiting for him to make his choice.
Waiting for him to comprehend his Inner Scenery.
"This time, we might not actually get married..."
Li Mo muttered, grabbing the Ruyi Golden Cudgel plunged into his Dantian, and forcefully pulled it out.
