Volume 4: Phoenix Crying in the Ninth Heaven
**Section 1: The “Retirement” Application in the Sword Box**
The bonds of the "Pacifier Gold Bank" began to circulate in the Fairy Forest. The elves subscribed for them with moonlight dewdrops, and specifically asked for the "Nature-Friendly Parenting Guide (with a bonus Three Treasures Dragon Horn Projection Forest Theater)". The second baby, Su Heng, became a double-pacifier warrior. During the day, he held the "Wind Adjustment Seal" golden pacifier in his mouth to handle "bank president" business (mainly stamping), and at night he sucked on the "All-Poison Invulnerable" black jade pacifier as a teething stick. His life was very comfortable. The "Fuwa Holy Light" of the fourth baby, Su Qi, evolved into a "precision delivery" function. It can shine on the most sincere person (or the one who donated the most bonds) among the people in the queue. It was jokingly called the "Holy Light Lottery". The fifth baby in the belly was moving frequently, as if warming up for the upcoming grand debut.
The General's Mansion was filled with peace and tranquility. Even Xiao Jue's broken sword, "Guhong," which had accompanied him since the beginning of his journey, shed countless blood, and ultimately helped him shatter the void, seemed tainted by the tranquility of this peaceful and prosperous era. It lay quietly in its specially crafted sword case, the mottled marks on the blade gleaming warmly in the sunlight, no longer holding its former sharp murderous aura. It seemed more like a souvenir bearing witness to the vicissitudes of time than a weapon of destruction.
However, early in the morning of this day, when Xiao Jue opened the sword box as usual and prepared to warm his old partner with the rhythm of Tai Chi, something strange happened!
Buzz——!
The broken sword "Lonely Wild Goose" did not remain silent as usual. Instead, it began to vibrate violently and autonomously! The sword emitted a low and rapid humming sound, the sound no longer clear and melodious, but instead carried an indescribable... sorrow and urgency? It was like a fading hero silently crying out!
Within the sword case, the gentle rhythm of Tai Chi Dao was suddenly thrown into chaos by the extremely sharp yet endlessly desolate sword energy emanating from the broken sword itself! The sword energy was not an attack, but it was filled with a sense of separation and determination!
"Guhong?" Xiao Jue frowned, his fingers gently stroking the sword. The sensation from his fingertips was no longer cold and hard, but a scorching heat, as if burning the last throbbing of life! At the same time, a vague yet powerful thought flowed into his mind along his fingertips!
It was not clear language, but a series of broken pictures and surging emotions:
* On the battlefield filled with corpses and blood, the "Lonely Wild Goose" drinks blood and roars loudly, its sword energy running rampant!
* At the critical moment of breaking the void, the broken sword burst out with the last light, helping him break free from the shackles!
* Beneath the smoke of cooking in a peaceful and prosperous age, the sword box remains silent for a long time...
Finally, the scene freezes on the broken sword itself—a tiny, yet bone-deep **new crack** quietly spreading across the blade! Within the crack, flowing wasn't a metallic sheen, but... a golden, burning **soul flame**!
The core emotion of the thought was crystal clear: **Exhaustion! Mission accomplished! Return!** Like a veteran who has fought a lifetime, before his body completely collapses, he longs for his soul to return home, to the origin of heaven and earth!
"This..." Xiao Jue's heart was shaken! He instantly understood! "Guhong" was no ordinary iron. Within it lay a ray of the original spiritual energy of the celestial gold that had forged it! This spiritual energy had long been exhausted during the long slaughter and the final explosion. Now, in this peaceful and prosperous world, its last obsession was to "return to its source"! If it was forced to retain it, this spiritual energy would be painfully annihilated in the sword's complete shattering!
"Dad! Your sword... is crying!" Sibao Su Qi ran in at some point. The strawberry birthmark (Feng Rang Yin) on her little face was slightly hot. She could clearly feel the strong sadness and determination emanating from the broken sword.
Second child Su Heng also came over with his two pacifiers, a rare look of worry on his face: "Jianjian...it's hot...does it hurt?" He hesitated for a moment, then put the "immune to all poisons" black jade pacifier close to the sword, "Eat...eat milk...it doesn't hurt!" (trying to comfort with the pacifier)
The dragon horn of Sanbao Su Yu lit up, scanning the broken sword: "The spirit... is burning... about to... fly away..."
Even Dabao Su Chen put down his calculations, his face solemn. "This sword is spiritual, but its fate is about to end. Forcing it to stay will do no good and will only damage its nature. Dad, it... is asking for 'reincarnation and return to its source.'"
Xiao Jue gripped the scorching broken sword, feeling his spirit on the verge of complete disintegration. A heavy stone weighed down his heart. This sword was a witness to his past and present lives, a companion who had helped him through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Now, he had to personally send it "back"?
[Ding! High-energy 'Weapon Spirit's Dying Wish' detected!] The Venomous Tongue System's voice was unusually solemn. [The broken sword 'Guhong' is about to burn out! Requesting the activation of the 'Weapon Disintegration and Return to Origin' program! Program Description: Use supreme power to shatter the sword's body, releasing its spirit, helping it return to its origin and merge with the laws of heaven and earth. Risk: The spirit may be annihilated by the turbulent currents of the void during its return. Benefit: The spirit rests in peace, and there may be a chance of reunion in the future. Host spouse, please make a decision quickly! Countdown: Twelve hours until the spirit burns out!]
Twelve hours! Only one day!
**Section 2: Mengbao’s Farewell Party and the Starry Journey**
Xiao Jue's decision was self-evident. He would not let the companion who had accompanied him for half his life perish silently in pain.
As the news spread, the atmosphere in the general's mansion grew solemn. But soon, this solemnity was broken by four adorable children. They couldn't grasp the profound meaning of "returning to their origins," but they understood that "the swords will fly away," "return to their heavenly home," and "they might get lost."
So, a most unique "Canjian Farewell Party" in history, planned by Mengbao, was prepared in a grand manner in the largest courtyard of the General's Mansion!
**Chief Planner, Sibao Su Qi**: Theme: "Don't Cry, Jianjian! Fly Happy!" She demanded a sparkling and warm atmosphere, ensuring Jianjian's path wasn't dark or cold! Thus, Sanbao Su Yu's dragon horn became the primary light source, casting countless twinkling stars and warm, rainbow-hued bands of light. Qibao also contributed numerous "Fuwa Holy Light" energy balls, which hung from the trees like small lanterns.
