Chapter 11: Red Lotus Karma Fire
In heaven and earth, there has always been only one Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, and it has not become a clan
He was born in Gu Yu, cultivating the way of Ji Xia, and when he turned into a beast, it was the second extinction of Yuanwu Tianzun.
At that time, the heavens and the earth were united, and all the spiritual energy was crushed with the sun, and the world escaped into darkness and dead silence.
The Vermilion Bird whose aura had just been transformed was low, and in this chaos, it was suppressed and could not continue to ascend at all.
In order to protect himself, he looked for a place to escape from the world alone, and accidentally followed the light to Taicang Mountain.
Seeing that the karma here was full of fire and the aura was pure, he decided to stay in the mountains and devote himself to cultivation all day long.
He is gifted, hardworking, pure and kind-hearted, and makes rapid progress.
And the karmic fire of Taicang Mountain blocked tens of thousands of thunder tribulations for him, and he almost didn't encounter any difficulties, but after a thousand years, he turned into a god form and was about to break through and soar.
At this point, he made a decision that he didn't know was right or wrong.
He decided to go to the top of Taicang Mountain to have a look, and wanted to know what this immortal mountain he had been attached to looked like.
He climbed up along the exposed rock wall, and saw only the endless red lotus karmic fire and the cascading fire clouds, and nothing else.
It's a barren place, and there's no life.
Suzaku was a little disappointed, turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.
However, in the blazing karmic fire in front of him, a huge human face was illuminated.
This person's face is not ugly, on the contrary, it is quite beautiful.
But Suzaku had never seen such a huge human face, and he was immediately terrified, and he was frightened and fainted.
I don't know how long later, when he woke up, he found himself lying in a circle of burning karmic fire.
There were also huge scales growing on the surrounding walls, each one larger than his entire human being.
He couldn't help but retreat until there was no way back and he crashed into another mountain wall.
Soon the walls of the mountain began to move and the circle gradually shrank.
It seems to be about to roll the Suzaku and crush it to pieces.
Suzaku panicked, he changed his beast form, and immediately rose into the air, jumped up without looking back, and flew high in the air above the nine heavens.
Before he dared to look down, he was amazed at just one glance.
This is a mountain.
This is simply a candle dragon with a human face and a body of thousands of miles long.
And he, on that dragon's tail, has been practicing for thousands of years.
I didn't know how to be in awe and gratitude, and finally climbed on the faces of others, and I was scared and fainted.
"You're awake. The huge human face also rose into the air and appeared in front of him, although he probably knew that the candle dragon had no malicious intent.
But he was still horrified, for fear of being eaten by this huge monster.
In a panic, his wings shrank, fell from the sky, and was wrapped in a dragon's tail and handed to the candle dragon.
"My name is Dong Li, and I am a candle dragon. β
Dong Li stared at the little Suzaku in front of him, blinked, and took the initiative to report to the door in a friendly manner.
He was born here, and as the dragon vein of the aura of the human world, he must not leave.
Weeping is a river, shhing is wind and rain, blowing is thunder and lightning, opening eyes is day, closing eyes is night, no drinking, no eating.
Until the destruction of Tianzun, he fell into the void of repetition with the world, and was silent for ten thousand years, and even he thought that he was going to become a mountain.
His name was given to him by a god, and the god said that he was the light of hope on earth, let him sleep here, don't run around, and when the time comes, the god will come and take him as a god.
It was still a small dragon and asked the god when it would be, and the god just smiled, looked at him with a fiery dragon flame, and touched his head.
If he knew that he would have waited so long, he must have asked the god if he could change to a mission that was not so lonely, after all, the god was so gentle and kind, maybe he would really agree.
"I... I'm Suzaku. The little Suzaku in front of him said.
For 10,000 years, Suzaku was the only creature that Dongli had ever seen.
He had waited too long, and as soon as Suzaku climbed on his tail, he felt it.
He wanted to go up and ask, where did the little guy come from, what was the world like now, was there a new human race, did the little guy know the god, and when would he go?
But he held back, afraid to scare the little guy away, until Suzaku climbed on his head.
Although the first meeting was not very friendly, it went smoothly and they became friends.
The day of Suzaku's ascension is imminent.
And the newborn human race, carrying the weight in the dark, groping and growing, one day in the sky, one year on earth, day and night.
With the body of ants, they silently confronted the Heavenly Dao, wanting to prove the meaning of existence.
Finally one day, a team of extremely small figures appeared at the bottom of Taicang Mountain.
The human race has found the light of karmic fire.
That's the light! They have eyes, and that's what they were made for.
They were ecstatic, in the endless darkness and cold, feeling the light and heat.
One by one, they climbed up the hill with each other's support, went straight to the karmic fire, and then, screaming and crying, turned to ashes.
What a small and pitiful creature, thought the candle dragon.
It's a pity that this bit of sympathy and pity can't change anything, and the candle dragon can't stop the death of the human race at all.
The encounter with Suzaku was already against the instructions of the gods.
Suzaku looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In the flames of the candle dragon, there seemed to be something, eating away little by little, popping up.
Even at a terrible price, the Terrans' obsession with light and heat is like the karmic fire around the candle dragon, which will never end.
They came to Taicang Mountain one after another, and then died tragically like moths to fire.
Day after day, year after year, I don't know how long it has been.
The karmic fire ignited tens of thousands of revenant spirits, devouring the body of the candle dragon, and the burned dragon scales peeled off, exposing the flesh and blood for the resentful souls to suck.
No matter how Suzaku called, the candle dragon could no longer respond to him, and he was dying, so he could only open his eyes that were no longer bright, looking at Suzaku weakly.
Suzaku watched the candle dragon become weaker day by day, he could no longer support the huge human face to play with Suzaku, and he could no longer use the dragon's tail to roll up Suzaku and throw it high to catch it.
His heart was anxious and painful, but there was nothing he could do.
Eventually, he decided to tranify these Terran spirits, even though his ascension was imminent, and with his divine powers, he could hardly succeed.
But for the sake of the candle dragon, he couldn't take care of it so much.
He found the scriptures of the Protoss and chanted them day and night with his spirit.
In the beginning, there was some effect.
But there were so many resentful spirits that he couldn't finish the transformation at all, and soon his divine power was exhausted, and he fell to the ground, soaked and devoured by the demonic energy of the resentful spirits.
At this moment, a thunderbolt slashed from the sky.
It hit Suzaku directly, and after a puff of black smoke, he fell to the ground with a scream, covering his right eye.
Ascension Tribulation,
Here we go.
The candle dragon noticed the thunder in the sky, his weak eyes opened, and he tried his best to curl up and encircle Suzaku in shelter, blocking the last thunderstorm for him.
Ten purple bolts of lightning rolled through the clouds, almost sucking out the light of the karmic fire, and then one by one they stabbed down like lightsabers and hit the candle dragon's body.
A blur of flesh and blood, and the dragon scales were hot.
I don't know how long it took, Suzaku woke up, and his face was dazed and sad.
His right eye turned a strange blue, and his face was painted with a black mark of the fallen demon, and he trembled and crawled out of the body of the candle dragon.
He called softly, "...... East Fence?"
But this time, the candle dragon really won't have any response anymore, not even a look.
Suzaku broke down and fell to his knees and wept bitterly, tearing his heart and lungs, attracting a god.
The god came on the clouds and slowly landed beside Suzaku.
He sadly stroked the face of the candle dragon, turned to look at the Suzaku who had fallen into the demon and couldn't cry, and sighed softly.
Heyβ
This sound is long and sad.
The gods cut their palms and used blood as a guide to purify the resentful spirits that were gnawing on the corpse of the candle dragon, and extracted the souls of the eastern fence.
Suzaku raised his head to look at the god, and after being stunned for a moment, he stumbled to his knees and crawled to the feet of the god, knocking his head to the ground.
The god leaned over to stop it, gently helped the Suzaku up, and soothed:
"It's all right, kid. β
Then, he took two steps back, looked at the ghostly karmic fire, and shook his head slightly.
In Suzaku's panicked and overwhelmed gaze, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed towards his face, and two blood stains slid down.
Suzaku's eyes widened instantly, he, he actually pulled his eyes away.
What's to be done?
The god holds two eyeballs in his palms, his eyelids close slightly, and throws them into the karmic fire, chanting the shrine in his mouth.
A human figure gradually distorted from the karmic fire with his soft, clear voice.
He used his eyes as a sacrifice to reshape the body of the gods.
The god of heaven handed over the humanoid east fence to the grateful Suzaku.
The scales of the original dragon body were all destroyed, and they were still entrenched, maintaining the posture of curling up in a ball to protect the Suzaku at the end.
Since then, Taicang Mountain has become a real mountain.
The human race finally got their wish and took away the fire purified by the gods and hurriedly returned to the world.
The god who had lost his eyes smiled, tore off a roll of karmic fire to cover his face, and then glanced at the Suzaku and the sleeping East Fence, and walked away with a smile.
The earth had a brief moment of light.
If it all ends here, maybe it's really going to be a good thing.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent.
Soon, the Terrans discovered that the faint hope of the flames was not enough.
What they want is an inexhaustible source of light, not a life of sorrow around a fireworks.
After seeing the power of the god, they developed a great faith in the god.
Such a great man must have a way, and he will definitely be able to fulfill his wishes, because it is God.
So they began to build altars, pray to the gods all day long, make offerings, sacrifices, and worship day and night, hoping to make the gods have mercy.
Such a powerful power of faith poured into the Heavenly Palace, and for a while, all the gods received countless blessings, their divine power increased greatly, and the ascended generations emerged in endlessly.
The Protoss, having tasted the sweetness, took a serious look at these weak Terrans for the first time and heard their prayers.
In order for the human race to establish eternal faith in God, they searched for a way to create the sun.
What the gods did could not be concealed for long.
Soon, they found the East Fence and Suzaku hiding in the human world.
They were amazed by the red lotus karmic fire in the hands of the candle dragon, even if they had not yet found a feasible solution, the Protoss had been blinded by desire and good fortune, they had lost their kindness, mercy, and no longer had divinity.
After frantically killing the candle dragon, they threw his body into the Eastern Emperor Bell, praying that the artifact would refine karmic fire into a new sun.
The East Emperor Bell was silent.
Suzaku watched all this and wanted to stop it, but was blocked by the enchantment of the Protoss.
Seeing Dong Liang die in front of his eyes again, Suzaku couldn't stand it anymore, he roared like a madman, the black gas on his face was overflowing, and the feathers on his body fell one by one, like a falling flower, he spit out a mouthful of blood, turned into a beast body with his last divine power, spread two blood wings, flew into the enchantment, and was bounced back to the ground, smashing out a blood pit.
"Why?"
The barrier was dyed red by the blood of the beast god, and Suzaku muttered to himself before he took a breath.
Knock β
The Donghuang Bell, which had no reaction, rang.
The faces of the Protoss in the enchantment were distorted with surprise, cheering as they waited for the Terran sun to fly out of the artifact.
However, the black demon mark, circle by circle, appeared on their faces, and the black qi gradually filled the entire enchantment, mixing with the divine blood on the boundary wall, and a dark red seal was immediately suppressed.
The Eastern Emperor Bell was surrounded by demonic energy, and began to sound chaotically, gushing out huge spiritual power.
The Protoss found that there were not many things to do, and they all wanted to run, but unfortunately,
Knock β
A bell rings, and it escapes into nothingness,
The Protoss in the enchantment was wiped out in an instant.
Yuanwu Tianzun descended out of thin air, calmed the Eastern Emperor Bell with his divine power, took away the remnant soul of Suzaku, and locked him up.
In the distance, the blindfolded god, his robe fluttering, turned away with a sad expression.
After that, I don't know if it was forced or what exchange, the Vermilion Bird Soul sacrificed to the Eastern Emperor Bell and turned into the sun in the world.
The Protoss obtained all the power of faith of the Terrans at that time, but unfortunately, after this battle, there was not much left of the Protoss.
Later, Suzaku regained consciousness tens of thousands of years later, when the three annihilations were over, and he crawled out of the underwater ruins, lived in exile for a long time, and found the east fence sealed in the coffin.
Although they don't know what happened, in the dark, there is a powerful prohibition pressing on the top of their heads, and that divine power comes from the god who helped them back then, but no matter how hard they try, they can no longer detect the divine consciousness of the god.
They thought, the gods, should be gone.
"That celestial god, does he look like me?" Jiang Yi spoke, interrupting Suzaku.
This story can be paused here, about how Suzaku and Dongli knew each other at the bottom of the Daze Sea, Jiang Yi didn't want to know.
As for the truth or falsehood of what Suzaku said, it is necessary to discuss it with Fu Li before making a decision.
Dong Li, who was bound by iron chains and tied to Suzaku, muttered: "It's not like you, it's you, I took the shape of your eyes, and I will never admit my mistake." β
Hearing this, Fu Li shook the Chengying in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yi, his eyes were slightly cold.
Jiang Yi didn't notice the strangeness of Fu Li, he had deeper doubts in his heart at the moment, if it was really as Dong Li said, first, the time was not right, and second, Jiang Yi never felt that he had such a great heart of benevolence, and was willing to sacrifice his eyes to help Dong Li, who had never met and was contaminated with demonic energy, with his approach, he should directly remove the candle dragon, so as not to cause trouble, and it was impossible to sacrifice his eyes to save him. Third, he really doesn't have that ability, that heavenly god is absolutely, incomparably powerful, if Jiang Yi has half of his divine power, he will not end up dying in battle.
