"Don't stop!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's merciless command rang in the ears of the other Golden Crows, who seemed to be extremely afraid of her. Even when their companions died beside them, they dared not utter a single complaint, but instead burned themselves to illuminate the path to the Golden Gate.
"So queenly!" Jiang Yuan kept these words to himself. He was even somewhat relieved, otherwise, if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had been so ruthless towards him, the oath would not have been able to gain a foothold on the battlefield.
Golden fireballs fell from the sky one by one until the eighth golden crow died, and the Sun Chariot finally arrived at the Golden Gate in the sixth minute.
"You've earned yourself a second chance at life. Wait here!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden loosened the reins. "Let's go, we still have time!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the remaining Golden Crows with a hint of sympathy. These guys were really unlucky. If it weren't for him, they definitely wouldn't be here today.
"Put away your ridiculous sympathy. They are already dead, and I am merely letting them bloom in their final glory."
After speaking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden unceremoniously pulled Jiang Yuan into the Golden Gate.
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to investigate first, but the moment he entered the Golden Gate, he could no longer sense himself, as if everything had stopped inside the Golden Gate.
"With my innate spirit, I forge an eternal divine fire!"
Before Jiang Yuan could fully comprehend the mysteries of the Golden Gate, a sharp shout from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden pulled him back to reality.
"Damn it, can you maintain your contractual spirit for even ten minutes? Didn't we agree to only transfer the divine fire?" Jiang Yuan cursed, his true spirit already beginning to act.
"I said I would let us be together forever."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke very seriously, but her eternal togetherness meant refining Jiang Yuan together and forging her own eternal divine fire.
"I'd rather be with a dog than with you!"
Jiang Yuan's spirit trembled. Even in the heat of hundreds of millions of degrees, he could feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.
"Eternal Mystery - Hellfire!"
This was his backup plan: he would use his own natal flame to undergo Nirvana. The death god's symbiotic ghost fire was immortal and indestructible, which would definitely allow him to contend with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and prevent him from being wiped out in a few moves.
His goal was simple: to survive until Nirvana was completed, restore his demonic body, and then comprehend the Eight Gates of Body Techniques.
"It's no use. Didn't you ask your husband what kind of place this is before you came to the Golden Gate?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's face was full of confidence.
"I've been to heaven and hell, I don't care what kind of crappy place you are!" Jiang Yuan said arrogantly.
"Ha, ignorance is bliss!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden wasn't in a hurry to devour Jiang Yuan's divine fire. Forging divine fire required slow and careful nurturing, so she didn't mind giving this brainless man a little lesson.
"Do you know when the Imperial Star began to be considered a true battlefield?" the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden teased, flicking the flame in her hand.
"What, trying to play the sentimental card with me? Let me tell you, although you were the first person I met on the battlefield, I'd rather you had died in the mouths of those monsters back then than have that planned encounter," Jiang Yuan said, shaking his head.
"Your vision determines your perspective. When you limit your focus to our personal grievances, you are destined to be nothing more than a pawn, not a player."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said something meaningful, then corrected, "The true starting point of the battlefield is the moment when the two divine objects appear above our heads."
"Have you ever wondered what the golden gate and crystal monument that hang over the Imperial Star are?"
Have you ever thought about the meaning of the battlefield?
Have you ever thought about the meaning of your existence?
A series of questions were thrown out by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but Jiang Yuan was not buying it at all. He simply replied coldly, "So what if I don't know? Instead of thinking about those vague answers, it's better to take each step carefully."
"So, you are human, and I am a god." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Jiang Yuan with an innate sense of superiority. That barrier was like an unbreakable membrane, seemingly nonexistent, yet truly present.
"Alright, then may I ask you, esteemed god, what answer do you mean by 'answer' to this mortal?" Jiang Yuan asked playfully.
Their eyes met, and at that moment, what appeared in the mind of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was not her so-called answer, but fragments of memories from Nancheng.
"How could this be!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's eyes darted away. She thought to herself, "It must still be his inner demons at work. No, I must kill him, or I'll just end up like my sister!"
"No, can you even answer this, you self-proclaimed noble god? If you can't answer, then don't pretend to know what you don't, okay?" Jiang Yuan mocked without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden snapped out of her reverie and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you want to know, then I won't let you die a wronged death!"
"The Golden Gate and the Crystal Stele are a coffin; their purpose is to carry a deity who has transcended all living beings to the final battlefield of the universe!"
