Zhao Xi was speechless, so she punched him hard: "You're the one with miasma, our Liuli is celestial energy!"

The source of the fire god in the abyss volcano has been lost.

Zhao Xi was very sad, not because the source was lost, but because Huo Gulu, the loyal guardian who had been guarding the source, had most likely disappeared from this world.

Nevertheless, the embers there will burn for thousands of years before being extinguished, making it a coveted territory for all sects.

The snowstorm continued to sweep across the world.

The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, but it cannot bring enough warmth. Walking through ordinary towns, you can see naked people huddled by the roadside, frozen to death.

A large number of mortal survivors were taken to live in the Five Spirits Sect at the Alliance headquarters.

Those sects that were vying for territory in the Abyss Volcanoes then discovered that no matter how harsh the weather, the Alliance headquarters was always spring-like.

At first, they heard it was because the legendary Little Fairy Wind had finally come out of the mountains, and she was guarding the formation to protect the sect.

Even the guardians and defensive formations require spirit stones and treasures.

Even if our own sect had enough spirit stones and treasures, we couldn't do it!

“We have a protective formation of living beings found by the Water God. We need to collect a certain number of spiritual plants and demonic beasts to balance the local attributes.” Xiao Jia didn’t keep this a secret.

In essence, this frost and wind was a large-scale invasion of spiritual energy, which happened to be within the defensive range of the formation.

With the Master's permission, they will reveal the protective formation to the public.

The materials for copying the formation were once scarce, and the rules of the formation spread throughout the entire immortal realm overnight.

Fortunately, the spiritual plants and demonic beasts required for this kind of formation do not depend on their species, but only on their attributes. Any cultivator who can perform divination can calculate how many demonic beasts and spiritual plants are needed to supplement a certain element.

Even the most ordinary spiritual plants and demonic beasts are carefully protected and brought back to the Alliance headquarters for exchange.

In this way, even those small creatures that were originally too weak to escape were saved.

The harsh environment of the Lower Immortal Realm actually stabilized within two weeks.

Outside the defensive formation, a cold wind howled.

Within the defensive formation, birds sang and flowers bloomed, and immortals and demons lived in harmony, a scene as beautiful as an ideal garden.

The main force of the sect withdrew from the abyss volcano, taking some of the lava and demonic beasts with them, but some weak immortals and cubs were unable to leave.

Sects can easily build defensive formations, but there is still a risk of freezing to death when moving.

The monsters reproduce quickly and need someone to stay behind and protect them, but everyone is outside rebuilding their sects and resisting the severe cold, making it even more dangerous for the cultivators who first came here.

Zhao Xi wanted to go to the Abyss Volcano with Lin Che to deliver supplies to the people who couldn't leave.

Little Liuli jumped out and said, "Mother, it's cold outside. I want to stay in the Abyss Volcano. With me here, I can protect them."

Zhao Xi readily agreed, as this was part of her original plan.

She led Xiaoli to the bottom of the volcano, gazing at the bubbling lava: "Liuli, we're going to a very far place, maybe..."

Can a little fairy born from the essence of water and fire truly understand life and death?

She seems to have been born with the knowledge, yet she doesn't quite understand it.

Once the glass turns back into spiritual energy, it can become immortal, unless it is trapped in a freezing cold environment.

If she had stayed in the abyss volcano, she might have lived longer than everyone else.

“Mother, this is something you should do. Even if you haven’t awakened, you and Father God still have to do it.” Little Liuli said with a calm expression, her little head held high, looking very mature.

Zhao Xi looked surprised, frowned, and lightly tapped her forehead: "What else do you know?"

“Little Liuli knows everything.” Liuli threw herself into her arms. “I know you’re leaving me, but I’m not sad. Mother, do you know what happens after a god dies?”

Zhao Xi wasn't quite sure; she had always avoided learning too much about mythology to prevent herself from thinking about anything: "It can transform into objects, right?"

"Everything we touch was left behind by the gods of the past. The immortal realm has existed for too long, and there are too many ancient gods to remember them all. It doesn't matter if later generations forget them. Liuli can transform from spiritual energy into a spirit, and can hear, speak, see, and have thoughts. But before that, Liuli was not dead."

She pulled Zhao Xi to the edge of the lava, and scooped up some lava with her little hands. "If Brother Xingye's origin hadn't been destroyed, this might be Mother and Brother Xingye's son."

"...?" Zhao Xi wanted to look at Liu Li with a skeptical gaze, but seeing her serious expression, she fell into deep thought.

"But what if Father God marries Uncle?"

"???"

Ruri said in a serious tone, "Then wouldn't Hoshino-nii's original essence return?"

"It should be different. It's like animals rotting and becoming nutrients, which are then absorbed by grass, and the grass grows. After the animals eat the grass, their overall quantity and quality will be smaller than the first batch."

Zhao Xi didn't know how to explain it.

Energy is consumed in a continuous cycle, leading to an irrecoverable disorder.

"That's a matter for this world, what does it have to do with us?" Liuli shook her little head innocently, far more understanding than Zhao Xi. She took her mother's hand, "Mother, it's not that you and Father God are materialized, it's just that you're accompanying Liuli in a different way. Even if Liuli doesn't talk to you, she'll still be with you. I was with you before you hatched me. So, you can go in peace~"

"…………"

After persuading Hoshino, Zhao Xixiang had already found the Moon Shadow Soul Cleansing Array that Wuxing had mentioned.

Perhaps Wuse was deliberately provoking her, or perhaps he was too powerful and felt extremely lonely, wanting to confide in someone.

This ancient array book contains a complete record of the Moon Shadow Soul Cleansing Array mentioned by Wuxing.

The fundamental logic of an array is similar to that of an alchemy furnace; it can combine and then separate the elements that appear within the array.

“The source of the Fire God must have been taken to the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds by Wuse. If we resist him, we will face a fierce battle. The wind is omnipresent, and the entire Wind God Valley is his domain. Wuse is the god of that place. Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?” Zhao Xi picked up the books on formations and paced back and forth in the library.

Unable to get a reply from Lin Che, she lowered her eyes to look at him.

Lin Che leaned lazily against the bookshelf, his long legs spread wide, swinging his toes to the rhythm of some kind of opera as he leisurely flipped through the book.

Zhao Xi thought it was strange, so she curiously went over to take a look and found that it was actually a script written by Shu Yan.

For some reason, Shu Yan went astray and fabricated a forbidden relationship between a demon leader and a righteous immortal. She wrote several volumes in one go and even asked a traveling merchant in the Immortal Realm to help her sell them, earning a considerable amount of spirit stones.

This contains her complete works.

Zhao Xi thought she had no time to watch this kind of thing, but unexpectedly Lin Che was watching it with great interest.

She couldn't help but run over and tap Lin Che on the forehead with the book she was holding: "Hey!"
