Bai Ling heard this and sneered, clearly not believing Chu Chu's words. "Hmph, the Chongming Bird Clan is known for its cunningness. You're just trying to buy time. Heavenly Lord, don't fall for her tricks!"
Chu Chu sneered in response, her gaze blazing. "Bai Ling, although I am a member of the Chongming Bird clan, I also know that reputation is more important than anything else. If you retreat now, I, Chu Chu, will surrender and be dealt with as you please. But if you insist on destroying Jiayang Mountain and harming my people, I swear to perish with you and never give in!"
Her voice echoed across the battlefield, carrying an unquestionable resolve and unwavering determination. Heavenly Monarch Rong Yi and Demon King Bai Ling exchanged glances, each seeing hesitation in the other's eyes. They knew that if they were to perish together with Chu Chu, the loss would be immense for both sides.
Finally, Tianjun Rong Yi sighed softly and waved his hand, signaling the heavenly soldiers and generals to suspend their attack. "Since you are so determined, we will give you this honor. But remember, your promise is witnessed by all six realms."
Demon King Bai Ling stood before the demon army, her eyes gleaming with both unyielding defiance and helplessness. She knew that any resistance would be futile against the Heavenly Sovereign's unshakeable will. Even so, the resentment within her heart burned like a raging fire, unwilling to give up the demon world's centuries-old freedom and dignity. However, the outcome was already decided. She could only take a deep breath, suppress her indignation, and wave her hand, signaling the demon army to retreat.
Inside Jiayang Mountain, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Chuchu's eyes were full of determination. She arranged for her people to enter the mountain quickly and orderly. When she had arranged everything and sealed the barrier firmly, she flew out of Jiayang Mountain and looked at the tens of thousands of troops in the heaven and demon worlds. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she had already made up her mind.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Lord thought victory was certain, and slowly raised his hand, ready to use his magical powers to capture Chu Chu.
How could Chu Chu be so easily subdued? Her figure flickered, as light as willow catkins, cleverly avoiding Tianjun's first attempt to capture her. Then she transformed into a stream of light and fled into the distance.
"Do you want to escape from my grasp?" The Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, and then ordered the Demon King Bai Ling and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to give chase quickly.
For a moment, the clouds in the sky rolled and the power of the immortal and demon worlds intertwined, forming a thrilling picture.
Chu Chu, however, seemed to have premeditated her plan. With her familiarity with the terrain and exquisite use of magic, she deftly navigated through the clouds and dense forests, ultimately arriving at a mysterious location shrouded by an ancient magic array: the Qiankun Liuhe Formation. This formation was created by her mother, a demon queen who once commanded the three realms, to protect her family's last refuge.
Chu Chu stood in front of the formation, forming seals with her hands, closing her eyes and concentrating. A faint fluorescent light began to emanate from her body, resonating with the surrounding formation.
She whispered an ancient incantation, each syllable imbued with immense power and emotion: "With my blood, I call upon my mother's spirit; the universe will be reversed, and all will be united."
The air around him seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force, and even time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Amidst the earth, the previously sparse and free-flowing spiritual energy suddenly became unusually active. It converged from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, forming an immense, dazzling vortex of energy that enveloped the Qiankun Liuhe Formation. Within this vortex, a faint ancient and mysterious aura emanated, inspiring awe.
At the center of the formation, a dazzling, multicolored light nearly pierced the sky. At this moment of peak brightness, a gentle yet commanding voice echoed from the depths of Chuchu's heart, tinged with disbelief and heartache: "Chuchu, why are you here? This isn't the place for you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She choked back her tears and replied, "Mother, I am here to buy your freedom. This is my responsibility, and I don't want to see you suffer in captivity any longer."
"No! Chuchu, you can't do this!" The voice was filled with anxiety and determination. "If you become the replacement of this core, you will face endless suffering and pain. How can I bear to see you like this?"
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and was covered with dark clouds. Hades led a huge army of ghosts, as well as heavenly soldiers, generals and powerful demons, and descended here one after another.
Pluto looked solemn and stepped forward quickly, trying to stop Chuchu's impulse: "Chuchu, calm down and don't act rashly!"
Chuchu looked up at the tens of thousands of eyes, filled with worry, shock, and admiration. A faint smile curved her lips, a smile that transcended life and death, a fearless smile: "Everyone, it is my honor to witness this scene today. I am the Chongming Bird, the Imperial Princess of the Azure Underworld, and the indispensable core of this Qiankun Liuhe Formation. Today, let me end this and let my mother regain her freedom in exchange..."
She slowly turned, facing the core of the formation, her eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. Her hands began to form hand seals, each imbued with ancient magical power and her deep love for her mother. As she moved, the surrounding energy vortex, as if responding to her call, surged even more violently.
"Father, thank you for your love and cultivation for thousands of years. For my safety, you hid my true identity and allowed me to grow up carefree in the world. It was not until I regained my memory that I understood your painstaking efforts and your deep concern for the past between Rong Lin and me. Everything you did was for my own good, but I was willful many times and misunderstood your intentions..." Chuchu's voice was full of gratitude and self-blame.
"Mother, you are a high and mighty deity. You should not have to endure such heavy suffering. I, your unfilial daughter, am willing to use my own strength to free you."
