Chapter 728: The Battle between White Rose and Volcano
In the Central Star Region, Molten Stone Star Region, the
underground volcano where the "God of Fire" - K1793 lives, orange crystal pillars are everywhere, and flowers blooming with gems illuminate the underground world, which is a rare wonder in the world.
Priests in deep red robes stood in the temporarily arranged square. They looked solemn and were concentrating on assisting the ceremony. There were magic circles carved by sharp knives on the ground, and now there was a pale golden boiling liquid flowing, like lava, fire, and blood.
These liquids flowing in the gullies outlined four grand secret ritual magic circles, and there were different beast emblems in the middle of them, namely "three-headed snake", "remnant hyena", "red salamander" and "scorching tail scorpion". When the ceremony began, with the influx and transformation of magic power, these four beasts seemed to come alive, exuding different power and aura,
wild, fierce, and hot.
These auras were revealed in the special essence of magic power, and continuously flowed into the orange-red stone pillar in the center. It was a huge stone pillar condensed by countless "molten fire crystals". There was a girl with closed eyes in it. Her figure seemed to be floating, her hair was like rolling red flames, and dark red veins and marks were faintly emerging on her body.
"Red fire, the red lotus that fell into the world."
"You are the end of the world, the messenger who purifies everything."
"The day when the house collapsed"
"The month when the big tree fell"
"The year when the stars shattered"
"Rolling across thousands of battlefields, destroying countless enemy armies, and melting countless crowns."
"You are the sad song of the end of the road, the messenger who trampled on all order in the world."
"The flame is your cloak, the molten stone is your tears, and the gunpowder is your footsteps.
" "Wake up, the flame in the fire, the blood of the red marrow, the holy angel who brings destruction and the end."
Pairs of red eyes suddenly opened in the ground, and their eyes flashed with flame symbols as hot as gold, and they gathered together on the crystal pillar in the center.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. A hazy figure seemed to emerge in the high-temperature distorted air. She had thousands of red wings. Just the vague figure made countless priests feel the pain of burning souls.
But facing this pain, they not only did not feel fear, but felt a great honor. There was even a special name in the "Red Death Cult" to express this honor.
"The One Bathed in Red Flames"
At this moment, the priests at the scene knelt on one knee, holding their hearts with one hand to soothe their hot and beating hearts, and constantly chanted the ancient poetry and spells. The entire underground space seemed to become a kind of holy land. The high temperature shook the sight. The liquid that originally flowed in the gullies on the ground now floated into the air like a fire snake and kept wandering.
The four flame beasts depicted before dissipated, and a higher breath slowly descended.
As the saying goes, things turn to the opposite extreme. The magic that was full of wildness, fierceness, and fiery breath has now become softer than usual. Even the twisted invisible flame has become gentle, as if it has life.
These flames surround the crystal stone pillar in the center, and after surrounding it, they continue to merge like a vortex, making the stone pillar brighter and brighter. There is a feeling
of extreme heat, but also extremely quiet. This strange feeling beyond common sense lasted for a few seconds, and then a ring of fire spread in an instant, and many broken sparks fell from the air.
Then the entire underground time became dark, and only in the center, where the huge crystal stone pillar originally stood, a figure with orange fire hair slowly descended. The moment her eyes opened, it seemed that a hazy huge figure appeared behind her. That figure had burning wings, a beautiful figure, and a face covered by light.
This mysterious existence surrounded the tiny figure in the center with both hands. It only lasted for less than a second before it disappeared, leaving only the girl with flaming hair and red eyes.
The tip of her toes touched the ground lightly, and the flames swept up like a lotus, wrapping her body, and then condensed into silk, weaving into a light red and black dress. The short hair that only reached her ears now turned into long red hair that was close to her waist. The ruby scepter that was held in her hand had long melted away, and now, as the flames flowed, a spiral red spear appeared at the side of her hand.
Finally, the girl stood still, her full confidence and proud eyes swept across the whole venue, and her powerful spiritual will washed away like a tide, making the priests on the scene unstable.
"This..."
Looking at this unprecedentedly successful ceremony, even the presiding priests could not believe it. After all, everything they saw today had surpassed the historical records within the faction, especially the hazy and blurred figure that appeared at the end, which was an upper existence that had never been imagined. If we were to talk about the source and pinnacle of all the concepts of fire in the world, it would undoubtedly be one of the four legendary primordial beings.
This is a superior existence that the faction has never dared to dream of since its creation. Unexpectedly, it showed a trace of its aura today. However, this mere trace of concept is enough to make the finishing touch and completely change the result of the ceremony.
"Yes, this is a miracle and revelation." The priests in the field suddenly realized and had great respect for the girl with flaming hair and blazing eyes in front of them. They also firmly believed that the future federation would be led and changed by this girl.
"Let's go."
Pulin lightly stroked her lips with her fingers, looked at her slender legs and changed wrists, and felt extremely confident. Although her appearance is not much different from the past, her temperament is completely different. If she was just a young girl with different vitality and pride in the past, she now has a mature and long temperament, which is restrained publicity and absolute confidence based on her own strength.
It can be predicted that the name "Flame Candy" will soon be abandoned, and people will use a new name instead. That name will be more respectful and majestic, and people will gradually get used to her light and heat.
——————
In August 1266 of the Sixth Era, shocking news came from the Central Star Region. 'Flame Sugar' Pulin Koko successfully entered the Full Moon Level and became a singer who could compete with 'White Rose Harp'.
This shocking change brought a huge impact to the Central Star Region. Many groups that had gathered around 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin in the past began to change direction and join the new singer. In the Federal Central Parliament, the two factions of the parliamentarians also started a melee, and various disputes continued. Many interests of the past agreements began to be redistributed. Under this drastic change and conflict, many small organizations and minority factions became victims of the struggle.
After several months, the fierce political struggle eased slightly, and at this time, two major faction groups were formed in the Federal Central Region. Among them, the family consortium of the elf faction was still united by 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin, while as the new 'Volcano Queen' Pulin, a large number of chaebols from the human faction gathered around her.
In the fight between the two parties, all minority factions that did not take sides were squeezed out, including the taciturn religious forces, weak heterogeneous factions, grassroots groups in the society, and interest alliances formed by some giant companies. Only the military faction was not affected and still maintained a middle position that was not high, but definitely not low.
Having lost their voice in politics, many small organizations and factions began to protest. They organized marches and agitated voters in an attempt to regain some power, but such behavior was easily suppressed by the two major groups in the fierce struggle, and the spread of relevant information was blocked from the Internet.
Anyway, at this time, both sides had torn their faces apart and were exposing each other's shortcomings. There were countless scandals and black materials exposed every day, and they didn't care about this little thing.
In the past, the reason why these minority factions were allowed to speak out and gain certain power was just to maintain the face of the Federal Central Council and show the magnanimity and fairness of the ruling faction. But now this face has long been torn apart, and various scandals between them have frequently broken out. It doesn't matter. Instead of leaving positions for those insignificant small factions, it is better to grab all of them into your own faction and place your own people, so that you can fight the hostile group with all your strength.
"What kind of animal protection organization is it? It's just to make money and collect protection fees. It's so funny that they still expect anyone to pay attention to it at this time." There are many such mocking voices on various online platforms.
"Hahaha, I think that minority rights protection association is ridiculous. In the past, they always said that they were treated unfairly and demanded all kinds of privileges. In order to take care of this one in ten thousand minority, countless normal people had to change their lifestyles and habits for them."
"Now it's okay, they really don't care about you. You must have been stupid from all the preferential treatment in the past. Do you really think you can always be superior by using moral constraints?"
"Although there are some black sheep, they can't be killed with one stick. After all, some people really need help." Some netizens tried to correct this environment full of hostility.
"Bullshit! When they were asking for this and that, why didn't you stand up and say that their demands were too unreasonable? Now you come out and pretend to be reasonable."
"Well, calm down. We can only discuss it verbally. After all, how to deal with it depends on what those people above think."
"I also want to say that the mild environment in the past is probably gone forever, and the political environment will only become more and more extreme."
"Mildness is just the mercy of those in power when they have enough room to maneuver. When the time comes to draw blood, everyone should be cautious."
After this sentence, everyone felt a little discouraged and no longer as excited as before.
"Dispersed, dispersed."
"The situation will only become more and more complicated in the future. I'm afraid the days of peace will not last long."
"I have this feeling too. When the nest is overturned, no egg will be left intact. If there is a chance, it is better to go to other stable star regions. Although the Central Star Region is prosperous, the smell of gunpowder is the heaviest."

In May of the following year, 1267, 'Wind Calyx Fruit' Shui Yanqing led a group of supporters to leave the Central Star Region and head to the Feikeluo Star Region in the eastern part of the Federation. There are many pharmaceutical companies concentrated there, and several well-known giant pharmaceutical companies in the Federation are gathered there.
In July, 'Volcano Queen' Pulin was assassinated while performing and giving a speech in Feiyu Star Region. The other party used an illegally modified starship to shoot from space. The high-temperature and high-energy particle flow instantly melted thousands of people at the scene and killed them, and tens of thousands of people were seriously injured. Shortly after the incident, the illegally modified starship was shot down by the nearby star defense force, and a large number of people on it died. In the end, only 11 survivors were captured.
After the incident, almost everyone was worried that Pulin had met with an accident, but the singer was not killed, and was even unharmed. She survived the extremely high temperature environment and guided and covered the evacuation of most people at the scene, which prevented the death toll from increasing further.
After the incident, the group faction gathered around the "Volcano Queen" Pulin immediately demanded severe punishment for the murderer, and denounced that this was an assassin sent by the hostile Ewen Qilin faction, intending to wipe out the singers and hopes of the Federation, and destroy the foundation of the Federation with cruel and tyrannical means.
Immediately, the Federal Tribunal intervened in the investigation and strictly blocked and controlled the Central Star Region. Those dark blue uniform members that ordinary people could not see in the past began to appear frequently in the city. They knocked on the doors of politicians and dignitaries with investigation orders and arrest warrants, and took the suspected people away for interrogation. For a time, the entire Central Star Region was in panic.
The high-pressure environment of politics and public security has caused the entertainment industry to decline significantly, and because of the control of the news and public opinion by the two major factions, other singers in the Central Star Region no longer have the relaxed and free environment they used to have.
From the investigation report of the professional large-scale firm, it can be known that now, except for Ewen Qilin and Pulin, the fame and popularity of other singers in the Central Star Region are constantly declining, which makes many groups supporting other singers dissatisfied, but they can't fight back.
On the surface of the water, the two major groups are like intersecting scorching suns, colliding with each other. Under the seemingly calm surface of the water, various small organizations and factions began to accumulate various resentments due to control and high pressure. In just one year, various public security cases occurred frequently, and the undercurrents in the originally stable Central Star Region were frequent, and the situation became complicated and chaotic.
"However, this chaotic situation is actually beneficial to us."
In the secluded and isolated square room of the Aijieka network space, 'Gray Fangyan' sat at the top and spoke to the members beside him.
"Over the past year, everyone's achievements are obvious to all. Although we have also lost some peripheral assets and members due to the struggle between the two major groups, the chaotic situation has also allowed us to expand more and more rapidly. We don't need to worry about being caught by the official handle as in the past." His face emerged on the gray stone.
In the room, the other five members had different expressions. Among them, 'Old Skeleton' was still as taciturn and calm as before, while 'Long-Handed Monkey' was a little excited. It seemed that he had seen a lot of conflict events during this period. 'Teddy Bear', who was sitting on the other side of the round table, leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigar quite comfortably. He was more calm and confident than before. 'Silver Cross Sword', who was not far from him, was a little hesitant and seemed to have something to say.
"Silver Cross, do you have any suggestions?" After talking about the current situation, Hui Fangyan noticed the other party's movements and expressions, so he spoke.
"Yes, although we currently have a group of reliable security personnel, according to AI's calculations and estimates, if the situation continues to be chaotic, the protection force we need will be higher and higher, and these are far from enough at present."
"That is to say, there is a lack of real masters and extremely loyal personnel, right?" Hui Fangyan asked without any worry.
"Yes, now all groups are feeling uneasy and are recruiting talents. If we participate in the competition in depth, we will inevitably be exposed." He talked about the current difficulties.
"I understand." Hui Fangyan looked at the dark brown table, as if thinking about something.
"You can continue with your previous work. If you lack experts and loyal people, I have other ways to solve it, but I can't tell you yet." His words were full of confidence and calmness that the people present didn't quite understand.
"Don't worry, I will find people who share the same ideals as us."
"You will understand that the wise men and idealists in this world always come together easily."
"We are not alone. There will be people who respond to our voices in the vast sea of stars. They are in every corner of the world."
"Now, please continue to persevere. Everything we do now is to welcome the arrival of the dawn."
"You, me, everyone, and everyone else will see that distant future."
As he finished speaking, his body gradually disappeared from his seat, and on the wall behind where Gray Square Rock left, a strange yet familiar symbol slowly appeared.
Several blocks connected together, like crystals, or clouds, they transcend time, inherit and record everything. This is the philosophy faction that has continued from the Twilight Age
- the 'Tracing Cloud'
