Thousands of years ago, God's Domain.

On the lotus pond, the graceful and agile dance of the white crane spirit beast made the god Qiansu, who had just quarreled with his son Suzaku, smile again. He stretched out a hand and summoned the white crane spirit beast to his side.

This is the highest honor for the White Crane Spirit Animal. He flew gracefully, walked slowly towards the Celestial God Qiansu, and gradually transformed into a human form. When he walked up to the gods, he knelt on the ground and kissed his hands. Then lift up your head and enjoy the endless mercy from the Lord of God's Domain.

Not far away, the black crane Mei Jue watched all this, and the flame of jealousy burned in his chest, and it was about to burst out of his eyes. He clenched his fists and turned away, and before he had gone far, a figure appeared in front of him. He recognized that the tall and handsome man was none other than Suzaku, the eldest son of the god Qiansu, and his status and power in the divine domain were second only to the god Qiansu himself, which could be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

A ghostly smile appeared on Kurotsuru's face, and he looked at Suzaku and thought that if he could do what he liked and make good use of this person, then he would definitely have a chance to win against Hakuzuru. And what he wants is not just to win him, he wants to make the gods regret it.

Before coming to the Divine Domain, the Black Crane lived in a huge lake, and was the leader of all the birds in that lake, and his beauty was always a little charming, as if it had magic, and anyone who had seen him could not take their eyes off him.

When he first entered the Divine Domain, he was bent on attracting the attention of the Celestial Gods, but in the end, the Celestial Gods only favored the White Crane, who had entered the Divine Domain at about the same time as him. This made him feel a strong sense of jealousy, more like a great shame. He was determined to take revenge, and now he had finally found a weapon he could use.

Suzaku is well-known for his arrogance in the Divine Domain, and as the eldest son of the Lord of the Divine Domain, he has had to be the center of attention since he was born. In order to hide his weaknesses, his father taught him to hide deeply, so that when others could not guess his thoughts, it would be difficult to have a chance to attack him. From a very young age, he understood the difference between himself and his three younger brothers, and watching them play together carefree, he was envious, but he could only force himself to restrain his desires. He devoted all of his time to reading the endless collection of books in the temple and cultivating his divine powers.

It is not easy to get close to him, and the slightest mistake may annoy him and bring trouble to yourself. But Kurozuzru decided to give it a go, and he found some of the same qualities in Suzaku's seemingly invincible eyes. Especially today, Suzaku's cold face was a rare red, as if he had just quarreled with someone, and the black crane remembered that the face of the Tenjin Qiansu who had just seen it by the pool was also very bad, and remembered that there had been rumors for a long time that the relationship between their father and son was not harmonious, so he thought that the person who quarreled with Suzaku was probably the Tenjin Qiansu himself.

This is a good opportunity for him, in addition to having dancing skills that are not inferior to white cranes, the black crane is also good at singing. The word Jue in his name represents the crisp and beautiful sound when the two pieces of jade collide, and it is precisely because of this meaning that the god Qiansu gave him this name at that time.

He flew into the branches of a large tree and hummed a small tune that was often sung in the demon world, a sad song with lyrics that described parting with his lover in the drizzle.

Suzaku, who had just been upset and irritated by the quarrel with his father, was suddenly fascinated by the song that came from nowhere, so he searched around. He finally heard the song coming from a large tree, but through the dense foliage, even when he walked under the tree, he could not see the singer's face clearly.

"Hey, show your face!" Suzaku commanded at the figure hiding in the foliage.

Kurotsuru's singing was interrupted, and he pretended not to know Suzaku's identity, and replied coldly, "Rude one." ”

"Hehe, what a guts! In this divine realm, there are still people who dare to call me that! ”

Suzaku sneered, he had never been a person who liked to be seen, but at this moment, he really wanted to vent his anger after arguing with his father on the person in front of him.

"No matter who you are, it's rude to interrupt someone's singing casually."

The black crane first poked its face out of the tree, then jumped down from the branch, like a butterfly, and flew to the Suzaku. But at the moment of landing, he slipped awkwardly and threw himself into Suzaku's arms, and Suzaku quickly reached out to hold him.

Seeing the true face of this singer made Suzaku's eyes light up, he had never noticed that there would be such a beautiful person in the divine realm before. His long black hair was as shiny and droopy as black velvet, and his pale skin and slender neck revealed the grace of a lotus, and the most beautiful thing was his purple pupils, which shone like two purple gems.

The sudden appearance of the beauty in front of him made Suzaku silent for a while, and then he remembered to ask, "Are you ......?"

"I am a spirit animal that lives near the lotus pond, the black crane Meijue." The tone of the black crane's voice is just as beautiful as when he sings.

"Oh, it turned out to be my father's new favorite brought back from the demon world." Suzaku, who was still angry with his father, was disdainful when he mentioned him.

"Father?!" Kuroksuru asked as if he was frightened.

"Yes, I'm his eldest son." Suzaku shook his head expressionlessly, thinking that there were still people in this divine domain who didn't recognize him, it was really strange.

"The little ones are damn good, they have no eyes...... Please forgive Suzaku-sama! The black crane fell to his knees in a panic.

"Well, then punish you for singing another song for me." Suzaku thought for a moment and said.

"Yes!"

The black crane slowly lifted his face, the afterglow of the setting sun gilding his cheeks with gold, and he sang another song.

Suzaku was completely intoxicated by his singing, unable to extricate himself and couldn't bear to leave. It was also from that day that he regarded the Black Crane as a confidant, and whenever he was burdened by rights and responsibilities, he would come to the Black Crane and let his singing relieve his worries.

Everything is going in the direction that Kurotsuru envisioned, and Suzaku is becoming more and more dependent on him, and even the conflicts between him and his father and brother, as well as the various secrets in the divine domain, are not hidden from him. Because of Kurotsuru's gentleness and understanding, his dependence gradually turns into a pathological possessiveness, and he will not hesitate to pay any price to be able to keep Kurotsuru by his side.

And Kurokuzuk took advantage of this just right, and with a slight movement of his wrist, he was able to make Suzaku obey him. He also heard about the runes from Suzaku. Suzaku told him that because the rune contained a part of the divine power of his father's Tenjin Qiansu, it had extraordinary energy, so with it, anyone with it could become comparable to the gods.

As a result, the rune became Kuronzuru's biggest target, and he encouraged Suzaku to steal the rune to himself, and then he would rely on the rune to gain power and assist Suzaku in usurping power. He used rhetoric to convince him that as long as he could become the master of the Divine Domain, then he would be able to achieve complete liberation. Suzaku, who seems to be wise, has become extremely innocent in the face of love, and he agreed to him without hesitation, but he promised him that no matter what, he could not hurt his father and brothers.

Suzaku did steal the rune for the black crane, but before the black crane could get the divine power from it, he was seriously injured in the battle with the white crane. The white crane fell into the demon realm with the rune, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. The Black Crane was captured by the Celestial God and imprisoned in the Black Fire Purgatory.

Before he was sentenced by the gods at the time to be sent to the Black Fire Purgatory, Suzaku was still pleading with his father, hoping that his father would open the net and treat the black crane lightly. Looking at his son, who was completely bewitched by the black crane, Tenjin Kansu felt that he was so strange, he was both angry and sad, and at the same time felt deep guilt and pity for his son. But everyone's eyes were on him, and he had to punish his son for stealing the rune, but in the end, he still couldn't ruthlessly put his son in the Black Fire Purgatory.

"As a father, I couldn't do justice to my son, so I made another terrible mistake!"

The Celestial God looked at the Feathered Crane Immortal in front of him and said that he could see that he had remembered everything, and that his expression of pain and despair was enough to show how powerful it was when this memory was reawakened.

"So what do you do with him?" The Feathered Crane Immortal reluctantly pulled himself together and asked.

"I stripped the part of his soul that I thought was causing him to make mistakes."

"What?!"

"Yes, including his hatred for me, his twisted feelings for Black Crane, his desire for freedom, his fear of his rights, and even his simplicity and kindness that are easily exploited, and that memory...... He is completely different now than he used to be. ”

"You're saying that all of his emotions have been stripped away?! So what's the difference with a puppet?! ”

"I thought he would be easy without this, but now he doesn't even have the ability to be happy, he is like a precise machine, no matter what I order, he will complete it without fail."

"I still can't figure out how the soul of the Black Crane came from the Black Fire Purgatory to the Soul Separation Realm with the help of the Soul Separation, I once tried to use the Soul Separation to enter the Black Fire Purgatory, but I didn't succeed."

"Someone helped him, and although his plan to obtain the key through the Array of Strange Arrays and enter the Black Fire Purgatory through it was unsuccessful, in fact it used this array to open a door, a door that only souls could pass through to the realm of soul separation."

"Qingyun...... Why did he help Black Crane, he had come to me a long time ago, it was he who wanted me to enter the Black Fire Purgatory through Soul Separation to meet someone, and now I finally know that person is Black Crane. ”

"I was going to immediately destroy the part that was stripped from Suzaku's soul, but I didn't succeed."
