Chapter 129 Chapter 129

The world completely lost the concept of time at this moment.

When the grey giant hand was cut off and the last evil god was almost eliminated, there was almost no one left standing on the battlefield. In the dim world, the only weapons that could reflect a little light were also broken.

The rain in my memory was not heavy, but the dark red river flowed through every inch of land here.

Phoenix did not turn back, nor could he. He knew what was happening behind him, but at this moment he could only continue to fight. When the last giant hand was forced back into the door, Phoenix chose to sacrifice his last bit of strength without hesitation to seal the door.

Yes, seal. In today's world, there is no other way except to seal it.

The holes that the world wall can withstand are limited. Once the existence of cracks exceeds a certain threshold, the world wall will collapse, and even the entire world will fall into destruction.

Phoenix suddenly felt a little relieved. Fortunately, the opponent had always wanted to take away their vitality and use it for their own benefit, rather than simply wanting to bring destruction. In this case, as long as the evil gods still wanted the original energy of this world, they would never choose to forcefully break the seal. And now this door has been torn to the limit under the influence of the battle. As long as it is still there, the evil gods will not be able to open new cracks.

The evil gods also knew this, and they tried desperately to stop the Phoenix. The giant hand that was cut off earlier seemed to be summoned by something, and suddenly rushed towards the Phoenix like crazy, with a strange light flashing on its dark fingertips.

You Lin flashed behind Feng Huang and blocked the attack with his gun crossed. Under the powerful impact, his feet were forced to draw two long grooves on the ground, and he finally stopped.

You Lin gathered all his strength into his arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'm behind you!"

The end of the giant hand continued to dissipate into mist.

As the phoenix's movements became faster and faster, the crack was gradually covered by golden rays of light. They patched up the crack like silk threads. Although the "door" still existed, the evil spirits could not cross it again.

After doing all this, Phoenix suddenly felt an indescribable fatigue. The gods had accumulated ten thousand years of cultivation, but they could only sustain themselves for three thousand years. Their world had suffered too much damage, and in three thousand years, they could only recuperate and prevent the situation from deteriorating further. It was almost impossible for them to return to their peak.

But it doesn't matter. Phoenix never expected people three thousand years later to be able to do anything. All he was waiting for was that divine weapon.

As the last stream of light fell, the seal was completely formed. Phoenix heard Liuliu's heart-wrenching scream and felt that his eardrums were about to be broken by it. His first reaction was: Is there something wrong with You Lin?

Thinking of this, he turned around to check on You Lin, but was pierced through the chest by a black dragon claw. Blood kept dripping down from the pitch-black scales, and it was unclear whether it was from the phoenix or You Lin himself.

That is You Lin, but it is not You Lin.

The originally pure white dragon scales were polluted by the strange energy, gradually turning gray, and even gradually transitioning to a darker color. The black mist produced when the gray giant hand dissipated was actively absorbed into the body by the godhead that was in urgent need of energy. Under the influence of the strange energy, the pair of light golden pupils constantly struggled between chaos and clarity.

As if sensing something, You Lin's will desperately broke free from control. Blood continued to flow out of his seven magics, and the first thing he saw after regaining consciousness was the scene of the phoenix falling in front of him. The claws that were originally used to protect him were now stained with blood.

At that moment, his mind went blank, as if all the blood in his body had frozen. As if in a sleepwalking state, You Lin lost all sense of external objects. He fell to his knees on the ground, helplessly holding Feng Huang in his arms, and desperately pressed the wound on her chest with his right hand to stop the blood from flowing out.

Phoenix heard a broken whimper from the other party's throat, like a beast about to be abandoned. This idiot looked like he was about to break apart, with a look of panic and despair he had never seen before.

He gently grasped You Lin's hand and wanted to say comfortingly, "It's okay, you won't die." However, as soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out continuously, making him speechless.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken that godhead, things wouldn't have turned out like this." Yes, a gift from fate is not so easy to get, let alone a godhead. But You Lin couldn't imagine how long they could have held on without that godhead.

You Lin felt that the divine nature in his body was being polluted rapidly. He was afraid that it would not be long before he would become the same as the evil god. He looked at the phoenix whose breath was gradually weakening, and then looked at the strange aura that was everywhere. At that moment, he suddenly made an extremely crazy decision.

The black dragon claws turned to pierce his Dantian, and he used his arm to block the blood, so that it did not fall on the Phoenix. He personally dug out his uncontaminated spiritual root and put it into the Phoenix's body along the wound.

He knew that as long as this energy was there, Phoenix would not die of heart failure. As long as she could survive, her injuries would be healed. Just as he expected, as the energy ran on its own, the blood flowing from the wound began to gradually decrease.

"Are you crazy?" Under the influence of the demonic power, Feng Huang barely recovered some strength. He anxiously grabbed the corner of You Lin's clothes and squeezed out a voice: "Don't do anything stupid, I have a way!"

He knew what You Lin wanted to do, and he understood You Lin just as You Lin understood him.

"That way is for me to watch you die, right? Just like you and Shen Linan planned."

"...You know." Phoenix was stunned for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, but I can't just sit there and watch you die." You Lin looked him in the eyes seriously: "If one of us has to die, I'd rather it be me."

Without waiting for Feng Huang to refuse, You Lin suddenly took out a palm-sized box from behind him. Feng Huang felt dizzy, and when he regained consciousness, he was already locked in an extremely small space.

Dark, small, but absolutely safe. This is the defensive magic weapon of the Peacock Clan, which is enough to resist all attacks from the outside world in a short period of time. The disadvantage is that it can only be used against the Feather Clan. After saving Miao, this box has been kept by You Lin. No one thought it would come in handy today.

"You Lin! Let me out! This is not something you should bear. As a divine beast, it is only natural for me to sacrifice my life. This has nothing to do with you, You Lin!!!"

Feng Huang used all his strength to smash the box open, but at this time, he had almost no strength left and was unable to break through the restraint. He could only watch You Lin transform into a dragon and fly into the sky. The energy released when the divine nature burned dyed his entire dragon into a brilliant golden color.

He saw You Lin circling in the broken sky like a rising sun.

The strange energy on the ground continued to gather upwards.

…

After an unknown amount of time, the Phoenix finally broke through the small box. He staggered forward, only to see You Lin's entire body stained black, falling straight down from the sky.

…

"I'm sorry, remember to take good care of yourself in the future."

…

"I'm still...alive?"

When You Lin regained consciousness, he heard the sound of water drops falling, which seemed extremely ethereal in the extremely quiet space. This made him immediately judge that he was in an underground cave at this time.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was locked in a pool of water, with chains extending from the surrounding thick stone pillars firmly locking his limbs. Phoenix was sitting on the shore, looking at him calmly. Because of the serious injury, his face was almost white to transparent.

"Xuanlin is right. Phoenix's blood is indeed a good thing." Phoenix said softly.

"What have you done? You are in such a bad condition that you cannot bear the torture." You Lin said anxiously. As he moved, the thick iron chain was pulled and creaked.

"I left some of my blood in your earrings. But they can only keep you awake temporarily. What happens next depends on you." Phoenix said lightly.

"Although the evil spirits in your body are not good things, they can be a great help if you can refine them for your own use. This time it can be considered a blessing in disguise. I have set up a magic circle here, and my blood is enough to suppress it to the minimum. As long as you can completely refine it, you don't have to worry about losing control in the future, and those evil gods can't do anything to you."

"I left you a method of incarnation. If you can't hold it back any longer and want to go out and relax, you can use it." Phoenix said casually, "By the way, the seal of that door can only last for three thousand years at most. As for the Heavenly Secret Lock, I think you also heard about it in Qishan that day, but there is one thing I didn't tell him. The use of the lock not only requires a lot of energy, but also a specific key."

"I hid the key in Qishan. There will be some induction between the lock and the key. When the time is right, the lock will be summoned to Qishan. Remember to collect it then. When the seal is broken, throw the lock into the crack. The key will move by itself. Remember to stay away. It doesn't matter if something happens to the lock. I put some magic tools in the small wooden building in the human world. There is more or less some power stored in it. When you take it out, it can extend the seal for a few hundred years..."

Phoenix arranged everything one by one, not even the smallest detail. You Lin looked at him steadily, and suddenly asked, "What about you? You have even arranged everything for three thousand years later, so what about yourself? If that artifact is really that powerful, what price will you pay?"

"It's okay, I'm just taking a nap. After the artifact is refined, I'll be able to come back soon." Phoenix looked away.

I'm lying.

He is lying to me.

The only sound left in the cave was the sound of dripping water.

"You know, the phoenix can actually be reborn from the ashes. I mean, if one day I'm no longer myself, will you still recognize me?" The phoenix suddenly said something inexplicable, but he still didn't look at You Lin.

"I can. No matter what you become, you are my only best friend." You Lin said firmly.

Feng Huang turned around, looked into You Lin's eyes, and suddenly smiled: "That's enough, I'll wait for you to find me."

"See you on Double Ninth Festival," he said.

…

On Pear Mountain - at that time it was not yet called Pear Mountain.

Phoenix spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I never thought that one day I would really have to use an avatar to deceive him."

He held a carving knife in his hand, carving runes one stroke at a time on a smooth boulder. The blood of the divine beast filled the grooves, gradually dyeing it red.

Feng Huang looked down at her clothes, feeling somewhat distressed: "Don't they say that red clothes can hide blood? But it's still very obvious..."

Liuhe used Liuliu's body to persuade him: "Do you really want to do this? It's not too late to turn back now. We can still think of other ways. Your ability to achieve Nirvana comes from the godhead. Once you take it out, even if you are in your prime, I can't guarantee that you can achieve Nirvana... You may not even be able to enter reincarnation. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I know. It's okay. This is good enough." Feng Huang looked relaxed and squeezed some more blood onto the altar. So far, although You Lin had some accidents, fortunately everything was under control and not too far off.

"What do you think of You Lin?" Phoenix suddenly said, "Once he absorbs all that evil energy, plus the power of faith from his godhood and the wooden sculpture, it will be enough to push him to the level of a god. He is also quite powerful, and he is more than qualified to be your next guardian."

"It doesn't matter, I only want your child, I don't want any other!"

"We are just colleagues, don't use such intimate terms." Feng Huang chuckled and tapped Liuliu's head: "I have made up my mind. Moreover, judging from my current injuries, I am destined to die. I can only achieve Nirvana. But you also know that we have lost too much. After Nirvana, can I still reach the height I am now?"

"If I didn't have this lock, even if You Lin's strength could improve by leaps and bounds, I would probably be unable to do anything except hold him back." Phoenix lowered his head and finished the last stroke: "This is the best way."

Unlike what he had imagined, the process of removing the godhead was not painful. However, Phoenix could sense very clearly that as the godhead was stripped away, a chill continued to invade his body, gradually gathering into his limbs and bones.

He didn't tell anyone that the refining of a divine weapon not only requires divinity, but also a god as a sacrifice.

"I'm sorry for making the decision without your permission...everything from now on is up to you..." He held the golden divine power in his hands and suddenly shed two lines of tears uncontrollably.

I hope that fool doesn't find out the truth too soon, he thought.

The last of the divine blood turned into flames, igniting everything around it.

The sound of the burning flames was mixed with Liuhe's intermittent crying. He said, "I will definitely bring you back. No matter what the cost, I will bring you back intact. Please wait for me..."

Unfortunately, Phoenix couldn't hear it.

As the phoenix fell, the artifact began to move for the first time. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Liuhe actually felt a sense of sadness from it, but how could that be possible? A divine artifact would never be born with intelligence, let alone emotions.

Liuhe found the right moment to pull the phoenix's soul back, but he had very little energy left at this time, and could only watch the phoenix's soul begin to dissipate. Now Nirvana can only rely on gambling, they did not win the gamble, and the phoenix he had watched grow up was really going to die.

Just when he was in despair, he suddenly heard a voice - no, more than one voice, the voices were gradually increasing, he heard those voices saying: "We, the Feather Clan, are willing to exchange the good fortune of our entire clan for the safe return of Master Phoenix."

As if they were worried that once was not enough, they shouted again and again until the luck locked the soul of the phoenix tightly. It was also this luck that, one day three thousand years later, together with the power of faith accumulated by the world, reshaped the body of the phoenix.

…

Mo Xuanji opened her eyes, tears flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably.
