"I'm selfish!"

Jiang Yuan's giant fiery face laughed wildly in mid-air. He suddenly stopped and said sternly, "Then what about this Flame of Life? It achieves itself by plundering the lifespan of all living beings in heaven and earth. Is that noble?"

"Besides!"

Jiang Yuan paused, then slowly said, "I had no intention of monopolizing the Flame of Life. All I did was return it to the world!"

Take from nature, give back to nature!

He understood this principle very well.

"Kid, are you crazy!"

The spirit of the palace was completely frantic, but there was nothing it could do. Jiang Yuan relied on the power of the representation to enter the body of the Flame of Life. Putting aside whether it could break the power of the representation's rules, even if it could resist the representation's rules, it still could not enter the Flame of Life.

"The Flame of Life, it's time to awaken!"

The Devouring ability was activated to its maximum, but this super talent that had once devoured everything became so insignificant at this moment, because it was facing the Flame of Life, which had accumulated power for thousands of years. In terms of both quality and quantity, Devouring was far inferior to the Flame of Life.

But Jiang Yuan doesn't only have one kind of devouring ability; he also has the physical technique of Desolate Spirit!

And, the destiny of the Nine Provinces!

The flames swept upwards, instantly filling every cell in Jiang Yuan's body with extremely dense fire elements. Just as the fire elements were about to devour everything in Jiang Yuan's body, another life element belonging to the Flame of Life arrived, and the power of revival gradually grew, forming an evenly matched tug-of-war with the flames of destruction.

If there's any drawback, it's undoubtedly that this tug-of-war takes place inside Jiang Yuan's body.

The soul-tearing pain accompanied Jiang Yuan as he absorbed the Flame of Life. Almost every time he absorbed a bit of the Flame of Life, pain would slowly creep into his pain receptors.

At the same time, it wasn't just Jiang Yuan who suffered the torment of being burned alive.

In the ancient and mysterious ancestral land of the East, a woman is angrily smashing precious ceramic utensils, overturning a table full of delicacies, and the only sound in the messy room is her cursing.

"Jiang Yuan, you heartless bastard, I swear I won't rest until I wipe out your entire clan..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mi Tan'er, who had just returned to the clan and wanted to turn her grief into appetite, was in so much pain that she rolled on the ground. In the end, she could only calm her burning pain by meditating.

It wasn't that no one in the clan could help her, but she dared not make the matter public at all, because no one knew that she, a descendant of a divine empress, would sign an unequal contract with an unknown nobody. She could only erase the humiliation he had left her by killing Jiang Yuan before the matter was exposed.

Blue Hidden Divine Mountain

"What kind of legacy did the Sun and Moon Saint Lord leave behind? Why do I have an unbreakable connection with that human?"

Bu Yao's body was engulfed in intense flames, but her expression remained calm. Under the rules of the battlefield, she was only at the ninth level, but her true combat strength had long since reached an unfathomable level. Even though the Flame of Life had a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years, she could remain unperturbed.

"Miss, the delegation from the sacred mountain has arrived!" the maidservant said, bowing.

"What brings the delegation here?" Bu Yao asked calmly, opening her eyes.

“Miss, recently, for some reason, news about your loss of favor has been spreading like wildfire in the sacred mountain. I think the envoy delegation came because of this!” The maid dared not raise her head.

"Stop the delegation and tell them I'm in seclusion!"

Bu Yao stood up, and then a huge block of ice appeared suspended in the air in the palace.

"But Miss's Holy Heart clearly doesn't..."

"Alright, I'm going into seclusion now. No one is allowed to disturb me!"

After Bu Yao finished speaking, she lay down on the ice bed. She did this not only to suppress the Flame of Life, but also to calm herself down.

Since that human, weak yet arrogant, barged into her world, she has been unable to cultivate normally. She needs to discard all distractions and return to her pristine state.

...

In Jiang Yuan's initial plan, apart from the little dumpling, he would only involve Mi Tan'er at most, because only Mi Tan'er had a guardian star contract with him. As for involving Yu Tu and Bu Yao in this unwarranted disaster, it was something he never expected.

However, since things have come to this point, he can no longer change the beginning; he can only try his best to change the outcome.

The life flame after awakening was terrifying. At its extremely high concentration, the life force within it became a deadly poison. All his organs were rapidly failing, and even his self-healing potential could not repair such terrible damage.

"When things reach their extreme, they reverse; this vitality has actually turned into poison!"

Jiang Yuan's heart trembled. He had initially hoped to gain a chance by relying on the rich vitality of the Flame of Life, but he never expected that an abyss was hidden beneath the vitality.

"Warning: The host's body is severely damaged and will completely lose its self-healing ability in one minute!"

When the Heavenly Eye's notification sounded, Jiang Yuan felt uneasy for the first time. He had underestimated the unknowns that existed in this world. The Lord of War must have had a reason for daring to place the key elements of the Rebirth Method in his tomb.

"Sky Eye, how do we repair the machine?" Jiang Yuan immediately asked, knowing that every second of hesitation at this moment would increase the probability of death.

After a three-second silence, Tianyan gave his answer: "Two choices: replace your talent slot with Heavenly Poison Body! Or, enhance your self-healing potential!"

"By the way, to deal with such injuries, the host must raise their self-healing potential to the limit of the third stage. Only the third stage of self-healing potential can repair such a damaged machine!"

Jiang Yuan had no time to think. His body would be destroyed within a minute. Even if he had enough power to push his self-healing potential to the third stage, which is the peak of the opening stage, he still couldn't break through in a minute!

Therefore, he only has the first option.

"Replace the Heavenly Poison Body talent!" Jiang Yuan declared firmly.

"Warning: A celestial body on a battlefield is unique. Continue the replacement?"

Jiang Yuan was quite annoyed by Tianyan's prompt again. "Can't you just say it all at once? Don't you know my minute is precious? Or does Tianyan want to find a new owner and want me to be buried sooner?"

Do you think I have a choice?

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he took out a template of the Heavenly Poison Body that he had copied before. Unlike ordinary talents, Heavenly Bodies have a compatibility factor, and only those with a high compatibility factor can maximize the potential of a Heavenly Bodies. When he obtained the Heavenly Poison Body, he had already checked his compatibility factor with it, which was only 18%, which was already very low. In other words, the effect he could exert after learning the Heavenly Poison Body would be no different from that of an ordinary talent. Therefore, he left the Heavenly Poison Body to Lin Siyin, who had an 87% compatibility factor.

"Come on, old friend!"

A phantom of the Grim Reaper appeared amidst the flames, and a pair of enormous hands, seemingly capable of controlling heaven and earth, reached out from the void.

"Replace target: Special talent slot, replace talent - Heavenly Poison Body!"

"Heavenly Poison Body (Unawakened): Special physique - celestial body, special attribute - toxicity harmonization".

"Celestial Body: A physique blessed by the heavens, comparable to any top-tier body-tempering technique, and enjoys battlefield bonuses. Activated upon awakening!"

"Toxicity modifier: Possessing the ability to create, immunize against, and control toxins."

"Special talent: grid preservation ability - toxicity neutralization".
