The Queen of the Fireflies sent one of her elves to guide the Feathered Crane Immortal, and the white light around the young elf was like a small lamp, flickering not far in front of him. When he recovered, his mood became happy, and he was no longer full of fatalism and sadness as when he first decided to enter the Golden Firefly Maple Forest.

Behind the tallest silver maple tree in the forest, there was the elaborately carved gate of the Divine Domain, the outermost ring of which was densely packed with runes, followed by small rectangular blades of the city, and along the blades were small flowers that opened irregularly, and the flowers on the handle of the key happened to be the same as them.

The firefly spirit who led the way led the feathered crane immortal to the door, and after bowing deeply to him, gracefully spun his body in the air, and finally disappeared.

The Feathered Crane Immortal spread out his palm, the key was still lying quietly in his palm, he picked it up, took a deep breath, and then inserted it into the keyhole. The key rotates the cylinder, followed by a crisp "click".

The door was opened inward, and a thick white fog poured out of the door, and various sounds came from inside. The Feathered Crane Immortal felt the sounds rush into his ears uncontrollably at the same time, echoing in his brain. Among those voices belonged to him, some of them belonged to the Black Crane, some of them were from the Celestial God Qiansu, and there were also those of Xia Qiu and her companions. The voices brought with them the emotions he had felt when he heard them, oppressing him, making him unbearable, and even nearly breaking down, but he gritted his teeth and walked through the door.

Under the thick white fog, you have to be very cautious to see the stairs under your feet, and because the sky leads to nowhere on either side of the stairs, you may be in danger of falling from the stairs if you are not careful. He walked cautiously upwards against the strong winds that howled from time to time, and the increasingly violent air currents.

In his impression, the Divine Order should be more peaceful, although he couldn't remember the whole process when he entered the Divine Domain with Lord Qiankun Su from here, but at least he could recall his mood at that moment, he was very sure that his heart was full of peace and beauty at that time, and he would definitely not be as uneasy and frightened as he is now. Why is the staircase to God's Realm such a terrifying place? He just couldn't figure it out.

"The form of the Sacred Stairs is the reflection of the climber's heart, and those who are filled with negative emotions in their hearts will not be able to climb to the top of the stairs and enter the Divine Realm."

A solemn and sacred voice resounded throughout the space, and the Feathered Crane Immortal could tell that it was the voice of the Celestial God Qiansu, and he should have taught himself how to climb the sacred steps.

He was no longer in a hurry to climb up against the wind, but stopped, and let his mood be the same as the day he was first brought into the divine realm by the Celestial Gods. When the mood became calm, everything around him was gradually changing, those white fogs gradually dispersed, turning into a thin purple fairy qi, the strong wind receded, and the world on both sides of the silver staircase turned into a vast galaxy, and he felt that he was a speck of dust in the galaxy, even if he fell, he could float. He soon made his way to another door at the very top, and behind that door was the world he had once known, the Divine Domain.

At this time, the Divine Domain had just fallen into the night. Here, even what you see in your detached state is exactly what they are. Next to the lotus pond, the nightshade continued to wither and bloom again, and the very good aroma reminded the Yuhe Immortal that it was this smell that woke him up when he was in a coma in the golden firefly maple forest.

The door behind him disappeared shortly after he stepped into the Divine Domain. As he walked by the lotus pond, the huge moon hung above his head, exactly as he had seen in his dreams, as if within reach. Countless cranes and swans were slowly descending in the direction of the water on the lotus flowers that bloomed endlessly in the pond, and they were not disturbed when they saw him, but only wanted to return home and rest. Not far in front of him, a figure stood facing him, as if waiting for him.

"Lord Qiansu!"

I don't know why, the moment he saw the god of the gods, the Feather Crane Immortal felt like a child who had returned to his parents after being wronged, and he couldn't suppress the surging emotions and tears flowing, and suddenly fell in front of him.

The moonlight shone on the face of Lord Tenjin Qiansu, who was still wearing the simple and comfortable cotton and linen, but compared to his impression, he was a little older, as the lord of the divine domain, this should not have happened. He reached out and stroked the hair of the Feathered Crane Immortal and comforted him with soft words.

"Alright, Hakuzuru, good boy."

The Feathered Crane Immortal finally stopped choking, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet the Celestial God Qiansu so easily. Even if he trespassed into the Divine Domain without permission, he didn't scold him, he was still so loving, just like in the past.

"Lord Qiansu, I ......" He wanted to ask too many questions at once, but he couldn't say anything.

"I know you're here to ask me something, come back to the temple and I'll tell you everything."

After the god finished speaking, he lifted the feathered crane immortal from the ground. He tapped his finger on his forehead, and he transformed into a giant white crane. The god of heaven and goddess flew on the back of the white crane and guided him towards his own garden in the temple. When they passed by the moon, the feathered crane immortal who turned into a white crane looked down and took in the beauty of the divine domain, and he had also gazed at everything in the divine domain countless times in the sky, whether it was day or night, it was so beautiful.

They landed in a secluded garden, and the moment they made contact with the ground, the feathered crane immortals regained their human form. The god of heaven led him into a pavilion of pure gold and carved flowers not far away, and sat him down beside him.

"Let's start with a troubled father. I never knew how to get along with my sons, and I forgot to teach them many necessary things, except for asking them to move towards the goals I had set to prevent them from making mistakes. ”

The face of the god Qiansu became gloomy, and his eyes became trance-like, those past events that he tried so hard to forget, although thousands of years had passed, but for him, it was just a flick of his fingers.

"Are you talking about you and Suzaku-sama?" The Feathered Crane Immortal asked tentatively.

"Yes, but it's not just him, but also the Green Dragon, the White Tiger and the Xuanwu, but it's especially obvious in Suzaku. He was my eldest son, and naturally became one of the children I had hoped for, and he was a child who realized how different he was from my other three sons from an early age. No matter what kind of competition took place between the four children, he had to be particularly outstanding in order to be convinced by them and the entire divine realm. I taught him to put away his cowardice and restrain his emotions, in the hope that he would become stronger, but on the other hand, it also made him distorted and cold. The gods paused and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"He and the Black Crane ......" The Feathered Crane Immortal waited for a while, and when he saw that the Heavenly God had not yet spoken, he couldn't help but say.

After hearing this name, the Tenjin Qiansu seemed to suddenly come back to his senses from his contemplation, and he turned to the Feathered Crane Immortal to continue.

"Everything was caused by me, it was my father who caused Suzaku's distortion, and it was I who brought the black crane into the divine realm that led to their encounter. At the beginning, I just fell in love with the beauty of the black crane, which is rare and has a huge black body like him, and he is surrounded by nobility and mystery...... You look at the Divine Domain, although it is so colorful, but it lacks this mysterious beauty, I can't help but think that maybe it will become a unique scenery here. ”

"Maybe I'm partly responsible, I met Black Crane again, and he told me that it was because of your affection for me that he became jealous and angry."

"Well, I wondered at first, why would Suzaku, who has never liked contact with others, open his heart to the black crane alone? Later, I gradually realized that it was the dark seed that I planted in Suzaku's heart that resonated with the darkness in the heart of the black crane. ”

"I remembered that Kuroksuru had tried everything to gain power that could rival the gods, but it was still difficult to achieve it, so he thought of the rune, and then he begged Suzaku-sama to steal the rune from him. I thought he was just talking to me, but I didn't expect him to actually get the rune......"

Pictures of the past appeared in front of the eyes of the Feathered Crane Immortal, and when the frequency of these images flickered faster, and the memories of the past were finally completely revived, he remembered everything at once.

"When I brought Black Crane into the Divine Domain, I began to regret that his soul was too dark and dark, but I didn't let him leave in time, so I simply ignored him, but it aroused his hatred for me. He easily bewitched Suzaku and made him obey him, even betraying me and his brother. ”

"When the Black Crane showed me the rune, I was bent on taking it back and returning it to you, because I knew that if I could take the rune, I might be able to avoid him being sent to the Black Fire Purgatory, but I fell with the rune......"

The pain of being injured by the poisonous feathers on the black crane suddenly swept through the body along with the revival of memories. The Feathered Crane Immortal fell to the ground in an instant, convulsing constantly.

"Come to your senses, Shirazuru, you've been stumped by the pain of your past."

The god Kansu put his palm on the face of the Feathered Crane Immortal, and also transmitted the power to resist the pain, and he finally calmed down, but still gasped for breath.

He got up from the ground and asked with a grumbling look in his eyes, "Why?!" When I fell into the demon realm, you abandoned me? ”

"The reason why I didn't take back the rune is because with its power you can live on the island of eternal life, forgetting the pain you endured here, the betrayal of your friends, and the mistakes I made."

The gods knew that they could no longer hide it no matter what, just like those fire elves sang.

"The injured spirit beast fell to the demon realm. The secrets of the Divine Domain sink into the middle of the lake. What has happened cannot be changed, and the buried truth will eventually be revealed. ”
