The Cloud God Messenger took out the key and opened the sacred chamber where the sacred fire was placed.
“Buzz…”
The heavy stone door made a low sound, accompanied by the stirring of dust, and the empty interior of the shrine came into view.
The dome of the shrine is supported by huge trees, the walls are made of rocks, and the ground is paved with jade-like materials.
Simple and divine!
This is a holy place in the hearts of the people of Xucheng, protecting their ancestors for hundreds of years.
The closed shrine is never lacking in light.
A ball of flame the size of a human head was suspended a few meters above the ground, burning quietly and emitting bright light.
Divine fire!
"The gods fell to the earth, the divine fire descended from the sky, and the great snake that destroyed everything will eventually devour the broken red moon!"
Accompanied by a melodious aria, a tall woman passed by the crowd and came in front of the sacred fire.
Her eyes were shining as she examined the divine fire.
"Seventeen years!"
"If there is no divine essence as fuel, it will burn for no more than seventeen years before it goes out."
"Cloud Envoy."
Gently shaking her head, the woman looked back with some displeasure:
"That's not quite what you said."
"Seventeen years?" Cloud Envoy's expression changed slightly.
"God Envoy Aura, please forgive us for not being able to accurately measure the burning time of the divine fire. We can only estimate it."
"At the previous burning rate, it feels like we still have more than 20 years."
"Feelings?" Aura shook his head. "In this world, feelings are the least trustworthy thing. But seventeen years is seventeen years!"
She did not delve further into the issue. After all, more than twenty years was not much different from seventeen years.
What is really important is to take the divine fire here and strengthen the divine fire of your own Xucheng.
"Thank you, Envoy Aura."
The Cloud Envoy breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside to let the people behind him pass, and explained:
"These people are all talented people who master technology in our virtual city. Some of them know how to make talismans, some know how to prospect for minerals, and some know how to breed fleshworms."
There were more than a dozen people in total, and Lulu was among them. Everyone looked nervous, and they huddled together for warmth, as if this could ease the tension.
Glancing at everyone in the field, Aura smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. We in Mujiuxu City have always welcomed people with technical skills to settle here."
"Once you are there, you will be assigned separate accommodations and laboratories, and you will be provided with food every day..."
"There are chefs in Mujiuxu City who can make soft bread and hot milk. You probably only heard about these things."
Hearing this,
Everyone in the field was filled with enthusiasm.
"We've heard of it." Someone nodded heavily and said, "Mujiuxu City has more than 100,000 people. The people there eat well, sleep well, and don't have to worry about survival."
“It’s just…”
"The legendary divine realm!"
"Heh..." The two words 'divine realm' made Ola's face full of sarcasm, but he suppressed it in an instant:
"Most of the rumors you heard are true, but Mu Jiuxu City doesn't support useless people. Life is difficult for those without skills."
"certainly!"
"For those of you who have mastered the technology, the living conditions there will definitely be better than here."
These words made everyone look excited.
"Very good!"
"I've heard of the legend of Mu Jiuxu City a long time ago. The people there even have soft quilts covering their bodies when they sleep."
"real?"
"It must be true. I heard that, too."
“…”
In the heated discussion among the crowd, McGinn, who remained silent, was clearly an outlier.
"Aura's messenger."
Envoy Yun pulled Makin, winked at him, and said with a flattering smile: "His name is Makin. He usually manages this virtual city, and he has a good chance of becoming an envoy of God."
"quick!"
"Salute to the Aura Envoy."
"Yes." McGinn forced a smile: "Meet the Aura Envoy."
"Yes." Ola nodded: "I know you, the most outstanding disciple of Archbishop Bowen. You made the right choice."
"pity!"
She looked back outside and shook her head regretfully: "Saint Envoy Bowen is quite powerful and is the most welcome talent in Mujiuxu City, but he just doesn't want to go."
"madness!"
"That's right." Cloud Envoy nodded hastily in agreement:
"Bowen has a great talent for cultivation, but he is too stubborn. Even if he escapes this time, something bad will happen to him sooner or later."
"Oh, right..."
"God Envoy Aura, can the place you mentioned really...trap him?"
He wanted to say the word "kill", but thinking of their friendship over the years, he couldn't bear to do it.
So the word "trapped" was used instead.
"Don't worry." Aura glanced at him and said with a half-smile: "There are three peak nightmare-level evil creatures there. There is no way he can survive. And even if he comes back, you don't have to be afraid."
"I'm here."
"With Messenger Aura here, everything will be fine."
Ola turned around, walked towards the sacred fire, and stopped close to it.
The burning divine fire has no temperature, but it can burn the past.
Even if it is a messenger of God, it is the same.
“Swish!”
Ola reached out and touched a stone hanging around his waist, and a thick branch immediately appeared in his palm.
She held a branch in her hand and approached the sacred fire carefully.
“Wow…”
The moment the branch touched the divine fire, the divine fire shook slightly, and then was pulled and fell on the branch.

The branches were wrapped and burned by the divine fire, but the burning speed was not fast.
“Okay!”
Ola smiled:
"As long as we can get to Mujiuxu City within five days, we can merge this divine fire into the divine fire over there."
"Walk!"
Ola turned around, walked quickly to the door, flicked his finger forward, and a piece of bone fell to the ground.
The white bones swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a bone dragon over ten meters long, with simple seats on both sides of its back.
“Go up!”
Ola waved her hand:
"Let's go!"
Everyone climbed up the bone dragon one by one. McGinn was the last one to leave the ground. He took a last look at the place where he had lived for decades.
Virtual City...
There are mostly infants and young children in the inner city, and their laughter and playing sounds can be clearly heard.
soon,
Without the protection of the divine fire, they will die at the hands of evil creatures, and Xucheng will be completely reduced to ruins.
Makin opened his mouth, his heart ached, and tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily.
"never mind!"
The Cloud Envoy whispered to comfort him: "After so many years, you haven't seen enough death, have you?"
"Everyone has to take this step. Look forward and don't look back. Once you have taken that step, many obstacles will be overcome."
"..." McGinn's voice was hoarse: "Yes."
"call……"
With a strong wind blowing in its face, the bone dragon, under the control of the God of Aura, took off from the ground and rushed towards the clouds above.
The virtual city below was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"stop!"
Just as the bone dragon was about to leave the range of the virtual city, a rapid, angry roar came from a distance.
"Stop right there!"
"boom!"
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thin arcs of electricity flickered in it.
The bone dragon flying in the sky seemed to feel some kind of pressure and its body suddenly stopped.
"Bowen the Divine Envoy!"
"tutor?"
"Why is he back?"
The familiar voice and the familiar breath changed the expressions of the people in the field, and even a little joy arose in McGinn's heart.
"Bowen?"
Aura stood up at the skull of the bone dragon, frowned and looked at the two figures flying towards him, with a puzzled look on his face:
"You're not dead?"
"Of course I'm not dead!" Bowen shouted angrily, then he was stunned: "Why do you ask that? Could it be that... you know that there is a crystal evil in the ruins?"
The answer is obvious.
"Cloud Envoy!"
Bowen looked gloomy:
"You actually betrayed Xucheng. Do you know whether you took away the Divine Fire Society or all the people?"
"Bowen."
At this point, Envoy Yun simply stood up and shouted, "You know in your heart that the prophecy of our ancestors is completely false. This virtual city will perish sooner or later."
"If we leave now, we can still take some blood with us. In another ten or twenty years, everyone will be buried with you!"
"Bullshit!" Bowen was furious, and rushed over in the form of lightning:
"I kill you!"
"snort!"
Aura narrowed his eyes and snorted, then he flashed over and said, "I didn't expect you to escape from the evil crystal creature, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to put an end to you!"
“Swish!”
Her eyes blurred and Karl, dressed in a white wizard robe, stood in front of her. He smiled faintly and said, "Your opponent is me."
