Chapter 157: Eternal Flame (3)
Translator: 549690339
He recalled his first encounter with the Fire God, Aunt Alice, and recalled her childhood.
If there was anyone who could still move under the Fire God’s Time Freeze Domain, then the Forbidden Devil, Xin Yan, was one of them.
Although she and Liao Zixuan were both in the growth stage, it was obvious that she was older and stronger. She was already in the second half of the growth stage and was close to adulthood.
Just like what Fire God Alice said when she took him away, she taught her how to speak, how to control power, and even how to transform.
However, it was also because of this that Xinyan understood how powerful she was and why people called her a taboo…
After all, she could rejuvenate the dying and rejuvenate all living things in a single thought. She was synonymous with life, and her authority made countless people flock to her and yearn for her.
On the other hand, Xin Yan was getting more and more confused.
That was because, just like what the Fire God had said, the other party could not teach her what the meaning of her existence was.
However, everything changed after the summoning from Red Flame Town.
For the first time, Xin Yan felt a sense of familiarity from a human female other than the Fire God’s clone and Archbishop Maggie. Although this sense of intimacy was a little distorted.
This was also the first time she had seen a unique little demon that was not afraid, panicked, or ran away when facing her.
It was her first time…Oh, no, this was not the first time, but the second time. He felt it again, just like when he was young in the tree hole, the anticipation for tomorrow.
However, it was as if life would always play a joke on her at this time.
The power of evil struck.
The human woman she wanted to get close to had gone to the battlefield to face the dangerous monsters alone.
The little monster that she had been concerned about had also disappeared.
As for her…
She was still lingering at the entrance of the tree hole, not daring to go out.
Because the experience of her childhood was a lifelong trauma to her. Even if the end result was still good, she was still afraid to release her power. After all, it was just like the word that described her, taboo. This was a power that should not have existed.
However!
Soon, when Vivian and Shirley were in a stalemate, a huge black wolf suddenly appeared. It cooperated with Vivian tacitly and finally defeated the powerful monster together…
Xin Yan felt a sense of relief and joy in her heart. At the same time, she was slightly moved as if she had grasped onto something because of this scene.
All of this finally exploded under the meteor shower of Fire God Alice and the devastated world.
Xin Yan could hear the weeping of the earth and the wails of the dead. He could feel the countless sorrowful emotions and the thick aura of death that filled the world.
She hated these things.
What she liked was the hope, excitement, and ecstasy that the black wolf brought to the people after eating Shirley. It also brought Vivian safety, warmth, and… Happiness.
Then…
Ever since he had learned how to speak, it had been a long time since Xinyan had let out a cry.
The group of players who had been following Xinyan, the big sister NPC whom they had just recognized, were all stunned by what they saw.
In the cinematic, from the perspective of the players, Vulcan’s Time Freeze was like an animated cinematic. Meanwhile, the female NPC called Xin Yan beside them actually soared into the sky. Then, her body changed and began to grow larger and larger.
Previously, the players had thought that the Bone Dragon that Xue Li had summoned was already considered big enough. However, when Xin Yan revealed her Phoenix form, the players realized that they were wrong. There was simply no comparison between the two.
If the world outside the Fire God Meteorite Rain was a painting of purgatory, then at this moment, a Divine Fire Phoenix that occupied a third of the sky in the painting appeared.
After Xin Yan spread her wings, the originally huge Fire Code City seemed to have turned into a toy in front of her. It was completely shrouded in the shadow of the phoenix feathers.
The true, cloud-blocking, and empty-blocking,
Soon after, Xin Yan moved. She soared through the air and streaked across the horizon. As she moved, large amounts of flames fell from her phoenix body onto the devastated land.
It was completely different from Liao Zixuan’s dark flame, which had a destructive aura.
The flames that enveloped Xin Yan’s body were extremely translucent, like the purest flames in the world.
She flew past Fire Code City…
After the phoenix flame landed on the ground, although it could not restore the ground that had been smashed into a hole, it miraculously revived the vegetation that had died under the meteorite fire and began to grow crazily.
She flew past a large number of corpses and dying monsters…
It allowed the innocent lives that were affected by the meteorites to rebuild their physical bodies. This included the original Fallen Abyss monsters. Their flesh and blood that had been drained by the Fallen Abyss recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The violent and chaotic aura also disappeared without a trace under the flames, returning to their normal appearance.
She flew past the Forest of Dreadclaw…
As the origin of the Fallen Abyss and the place that suffered the most from the meteor shower, the Dreadclaw Forest, which had long been smashed into a depression, actually had spring water gushing out from the ground. In the blink of an eye, it filled the crater and turned into a vast lake. New trees grew crazily on both sides of the lake, forming a new young forest.
If the Fire God’s transcending magic brought about destruction…
Then, when Xinyan’s Divine Phoenix spread its wings and soared, it brought life.
The countless villagers who had their homes destroyed, especially those who depended on the Dreadclaw Forest for food, had their dull eyes lit up once again. The residents of Fire Code City were also delighted to see that the land outside the city could once again be green. The scenery was even more pleasing to the eye than before, and it was full of vitality. Of course, it was still the same sentence.
What was the price?
As Xin Yan sprinkled the phoenix flames on her body onto the destroyed land, it was as if an equivalent exchange had been made. The land regained its exuberant vitality, but the originally boundless vitality in Xin Yan’s body was rapidly draining away.
The most obvious change was that every time Xinyan flew a mile, her body would shrink accordingly.
The huge phoenix that could originally cover the entire Fire Code City became smaller and smaller in Liao Zixuan’s vision.
In the end, she disappeared into the horizon and fell in the Dreadclaw Forest… Oh, no, it should be called the Lake of Dreadclaw now.
It was over.
It was completely over.
Along with Xin Yan, the Fire God’s projection in the sky above the Fire Code City also disappeared, as well as the clone of the Fire God, Maggie.
People realized that they could finally move. Everyone who had survived the disaster hugged each other and cried. Many refugees outside the city knelt down to express their gratitude.
He had to sacrifice an Archbishop and a forbidden monster to protect Fire Code City and the surrounding ecosystem from Fallen Abyss.
This was how terrifying Fallen Abyss was.
However, Liao Zixuan knew that this was only the prologue to everything. It was just the tip of the iceberg.
Sigh…
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. It was time to go back and enjoy this hard-earned peaceful life.
But at this moment…
The wolf cub, Vivian who was holding him, and Shirley who was licking her wounds in a corner suddenly realized that their world…
It was paused again.
Then, flames rose from under their feet. Before they could react, their vision blurred.
When his vision was restored…
What Liao Zixuan saw was no longer the Fire Code City that they had just been outside. Instead, it was a vast and clear lake. It was the Fire God’s clone, Archbishop Maggie, who was standing opposite them and should have collapsed.
And…
In the palm of this old woman, a weak little head poked out. It was filled with curiosity, as if it was seeing the outside world for the first time…
A bright red nestling.
