Hou Yi Successfully Reached the Nether Sea

"Although the Golden Crow's primordial spirit is connected to yours, it will take some time if you want to truly and completely absorb the Golden Crow's power."

"If you can enter the Divine Mirror, it will accelerate the birth of the remaining Golden Crows."

"Those Evil Demon who followed Emperor Yan all thought that the Golden Crow would Buzhou Immortal Mountain for another two days."

"This will create a time difference and catch them off guard."

The Yihe's words were half true and half false.

In the original timeline, if the Vulcan hadn't insisted on showing up and acting cool, he would have fallen into the poisonous fire of the Flame Valley and cried for help on the verge of annihilation.

Yihe would never release the golden crow that had been prepared in advance.

The simultaneous appearance of eleven suns represents a qualitative leap compared to the appearance of ten suns.

This radiance will instantly kill Evil Demon and mortals.

Even gods whose Source of Life is the Spirit of the Sun will lose their ability to resist.

Only Hou Yi, wielding the Ice Bow Xuan Arrow, could barely hold out.

If we also consider the time difference, everything is in good hands.

As a result, because of Vulcan, who was both incompetent and playful, he had to release the Golden Crow, which delayed the birth of the remaining Golden Crows and even caused one of them to die.

Although Yihe was unaware of everything in the original timeline, he still harbored Killing Intent towards Vulcan, who wanted to take the Golden Crow simply to show off to his former colleagues.

How can one possibly succeed in ruling the three realms and recreating all living beings alongside such insects?

"Okay." Vulcan didn't realize it and just nodded eagerly.

It transformed into a streak of fire, merging into the radiance of the Golden Crow, and together they disappeared into the [Sunlight Divine Mirror].

"So this is the Power of Heaven? It's truly powerful! But now I am the Golden Crow! The golden bird that illuminates the world!"

The Golden Crow emitted the voice of the Fire God, radiating a fierce and resolute light that could turn the Dadi into red soil and end all things, emanating from the Golden Crow whose third foot was merely a small bulge.

Emergence immersed in his own greatness.

He was completely unaware that his soul was dissolving.

The primordial spirit of the Golden Crow filled its void, and the soul of Yihe is now taking over.

'Who can't attend my wedding with the Wind God Sister? It's you, the Fire God.'

' Zhurong, let you perish in your arrogance and pride; this is my final act of mercy, the Heavenly Emperor Yihe.'

Yihe thought this, a smile crept onto his lips.

Temple of God.

Li Lin sat in the main seat.

The gods gazed at him like stars surrounding the moon.

Jingwei, one of the stars closest to him, sat sideways on his lap. "Brother Taiyin, has the Golden Crow really been forged?"

Jingwei received divine education, and in an era when humans did not yet have surnames, she was more accustomed to Li Lin by his divine name.

This is why the gods respected him so much.

He is the creator of the moon, and in the culture of the gods, he should be greater than the Sun God who was born from the sun.

His previous identity— the Bright Demon Beast —was practically nonexistent in their eyes.

"Only one was successfully refined," Li Lin said.

"What should we do?" The Dragon King paced back and forth. "Little Hou Yi has only just mastered the Spirit of the Sun. You Old Ghost, you stupid Old Ghost, 28 days have already passed. Taiyin God, I told you long ago, without me, that stinking monster is really no good! Really no good!"

"Taiyin God, let me and the Thor feign an attack on them to help Hou Yi grow stronger." The Queen Mother bowed and lowered her head. "Hou Yi is the God of War; he needs to fight."

"No, the Holy Spirit Stone comes from Nuwa, the goddess of the Dadi." Li Lin shook his head. "Stepping Dadi and walking step by step into the forbidden zone of life, the Nether Sea, is the best way to activate the power of the Holy Spirit Stone."

"The title of God of War is nothing more than a lingering poison from the thousand-year war between the gods and Evil Demon, a misunderstanding brought about by Xing Tian's unyielding fighting spirit."

Li Lin paused for a moment at this point.

Emperor Yan always knew the true origin of the Holy Spirit Stone, but he never revealed it to the gods.

He only emerged with the tray when Hou Yi had to sacrifice himself.

The somber background music during the Emperor Yan's unsealing in the TV series features the same face as the Tathagata Buddha in the Legend of Journey to the West Sequel: The Sequel, who abandons the Three Realms and descends to the mortal world to pursue love, just like in the story of the Thirty-three Heavens.

In addition, it's easy to be deceived by the [Blue Spirit Pearl].

Li Lin could hardly help but suspect that Emperor Yan was worried that this would affect his position Leader of the Gods.

Intentionally submitting to fate.

Ultimately, aside from the Jingwei of her adopted daughter Jingwei (Jingwei became pregnant after her mother stepped on the footprint left by Emperor Yan), (actually, it wasn't quite a sacrifice; she merely merged with the Azure Bird. Due to the balance of the Three Realms and the reshaping and closure of the Gate of Heaven, the power left behind by the gods disappeared in the mortal world like the gods themselves, preventing her from returning to her original form. But aside from lacking consciousness, she remains a divine bird, still an immortal divine bird who has mastered the Spirit of the Sun and the Spirit of Chaos, and there might still be hope for her in the future).

Yihe who threatened his position Leader of the Gods, such as Yihe, Xing Tian, the fire god who did not submit to him, Xing Tian's followers, the outlier among the gods, Kuafu, and the Water God who was too upright and unyielding, all died.

The new war god Hou Yi also became a mortal.

It's truly terrifying to think about.

Of course, Emperor Yan could not actually see the script clearly.

He just knew he would be alright.

They knew the Yihe would die.

He even kept advising Yihe, hoping that this capable subordinate would repent, turn back from his wrong path, and escape his fate.

In fact, after Xing Tian reminded him, Emperor Yan had already broken free from some of the temptation of the Blue Spirit Pearl and handed it over to the Chariot God General to take away.

If Xing Tian and Kuafu hadn't been in such a hurry to destroy the Blue Spirit Pearl and instead attacked Emperor Yan.

They did not follow Emperor Yan's orders to eliminate the Earth Demon Beast and the Bright Demon Beast.

Yihe simply couldn't find an opportunity to attack Emperor Yan.

After Emperor Yan recovers his energy, he will be completely free from the temptation of the Blue Spirit Pearl.

Then he destroyed the Blue Spirit Pearl, and the Chariot God General who took the Blue Spirit Pearl and ran away instead of delivering it to the Sun God Palace as ordered by Emperor Yan —later Emperor Bai.

The Gate of Heaven will close successfully.

Nothing will happen.

These are all influenced by fate.

The Gate of Heaven, which serves as the Sunlight Divine Mirror, is too sturdy. In order not to affect the Three Realms, which are destined to begin unification at some point in the future, the Sunlight Divine Mirror is destined to be destroyed.

Of course, now that the moon has been born.

The [Power of Heaven] that divides the Three Realms is actually disappearing and is no longer needed by the Three Realms today.

The three realms have already begun to unite.

The [Sunlight Divine Mirror] will lose its ability to gather [Power of Heaven] and will no longer serve as the [Gate of Heaven].

Li Lin was actually quite surprised that Yihe hadn't noticed this.

"Now, although Hou Yi has only mastered the Spirit of the Sun," only a second had actually passed, Li Lin continued, "His human bloodline is constantly being tempered by the [Holy Spirit Stone]. These days, he has not consumed human grains or drunk human water, but has only continued to move forward, and has already reached the edge of the Youxin Kingdom."

"The Holy Spirit Stone is transforming into his primordial spirit; he is almost a true war god."

"When all eleven suns rise together, my Taiyin will protect all living beings in heaven and earth, and the brilliance of the Golden Crow will become the source of my power."

"The Gonggong will go to the Sun God Palace."

"Kuafu will also ride the Nether Sea with the [Ice Bow Xuan Arrow] to find Hou Yi."

"You just need to wait."

"What about that Evil Demon Zhurong?" the Dragon King asked.

"Zhurong? He is gradually becoming part of the body of Yihe and law," Li Lin said.

"Yihe ate Zhurong! He actually ate—" The Wind Goddess felt nauseous. She never expected that Yihe would actually devour a god like Evil Demon.

"He wasn't that rude. He was slowly digesting the God of Fire through the Power of Heaven," Li Lin said. "The God of Fire himself didn't even realize it."

"Why would Yihe, this Evil Demon, do this?" the Dragon King asked, puzzled.

Although Zhurong is a celestial deity, he is not an ordinary celestial soldier or general.

But among the Four Great Heavens wind, fire, thunder, and water, he is only second to last.

Even the most powerful of the Four Great Heavens, the Water God, could not defeat Yihe's own Subduing Magic Body.

If we exclude the Holy Spirit Stone, based solely on his own spiritual power, Yihe is second only to Emperor Yan.

With ten golden crows at his disposal, he had no need to set his sights on the mere God of Fire.

"The brilliance of the Golden Crow has no effect on the God of Fire," Li Lin said. "For thousands of years, Yihe has been so focused on refining the Golden Crow that he has not had time to adjust his own physical form. Only the God of Fire, the Sun God, Jingwei can maximize the power of the [Sunlight Divine Mirror] and the Golden Crow."

"Even Yihe cannot enter the Demon Suppressing Stone without breaking its seal."

"If the secret is broken, even with the Golden Crow and the [Sunlight Divine Mirror], he would still be no match for the Sun God. This would only make the Sun God stronger."

At this point, Li Lin couldn't help but mutter a few words of criticism about Emperor Yan.

Admittedly, Emperor Yan could not withstand the scorching heat of the thousand-year-old Yan Valley's poisonous fire and would perish both body and soul in the flames.

But this "millennium" is definitely not one thousand years, it is more than one thousand years.

A thousand years is merely the time it takes for Yihe to forge the Golden Crow.

The golden crow's radiance can shine on every corner of the Three Realms, including the Valley of Flames.

Even though the Yihe succeeded in overcoming fate.

With eleven suns rising simultaneously, Emperor Yan would likely be fully resurrected, returning to his peak condition, enough to break the seal of the Demon Suppressing Stone and clean up the mess.

Damn, this guy looks just like an old coin.

Why isn't it true?

Li Lin cursed under his breath and continued, "Although Jingwei is not as resistant to the Golden Crow because of her human bloodline, he really likes Jingwei."

"Vulcan naturally became his target."

"During these thousand years, the God of Fire has participated in the refining of the Golden Crow from time to time, not only to make the Golden Crow be born faster, but also to familiarize himself with his physical body so as to ensure that he can be refined in an instant."

"Yihe really like me? No, absolutely not." Jingwei shook her head. "For thousands of years, he has been sending me gifts, just to prove that he is not the murderer who killed my father, and to secure his position as the Heavenly Emperor."

"You fool," Dingxiang mocked, "How could Brother Li make a mistake?"

"In fact, he doesn't need to prove it." After calming down the fierce-looking Dingxiang, Li Lin continued, "His power comes from the [Sunlight Divine Mirror]. The dragon bird feather robe he gave you can withstand the brilliance of the Golden Crow."

"He hopes you won't get hurt under eleven suns."

"Is this why Brother Taiyin made me keep those tattered clothes?" Jingwei asked.

"No," Li Lin shook his head, "Both the Dragon Bird and the Sunlight Divine Mirror belong to your father. That feathered robe originally belonged to your family. Yihe was just reworking it."

"Taiyin God," the Queen Mother interrupted Li Lin, bowing and lowering her head once more. "As a celestial being, I cannot bear to be idle here. What can I do?"

"Is that so?" Li Lin looked at the Queen Mother.

He felt a pang of regret at the sight of the Queen Mother Taipu before him.

Even if we don't compare her to the Queen Mother of the West in Kung Fu Hustle, the Queen Mother of the West in Lotus Lantern would be passable.

"Here's what we'll do: you go and create a whirlwind, a whirlwind that will blow Hou Yi toward the Dark Sea."

"Thor".

"Yes." The Dragon King, who had been squatting and playing with ants, immediately stood up.

"Go and reminisce with Gonggong, and keep him occupied," Li Lin said.

"Yes." The Dragon King nodded excitedly and transformed into light, departing.

The Northern Dark Sea.

"What do you want from me?" Gonggong glared at the Dragon King. "Finding the lesser Evil Demon and suppressing the Thunder Swamp to prevent the Earth Demon Beast from breaking free of their seal are what you should be doing."

The appearance of Taiyin made him realize that what had happened before had nothing to do with Kuafu.

Even so, he did not give up monitoring the Underworld Sea.

"I'm not like you."

"Although the spiritual power of the Kunpeng is much weaker than that of the Azure Bird."

"But in terms of speed, it is the fastest in the realm of gods."

"In the Three Realms, only the Bright Demon Beast and the Earth Demon Beast's Stone Boat are faster than it."

"Perhaps while you were disturbing me, Kuafu rode him out of the Dark Sea and brought back Hou Yi, that little Evil Demon."

"Haha, Brother Water God, you're too cautious," the Dragon King chuckled. "We can certainly activate the Heavenly Net Array."

"No," Gonggong shook his head, "The power of us Four Great Heavens is the Spirit of the Sun. Our magic array is useless against Kuafu, who possesses the Spirit of Chaos. It will only alert him and cause him to move to a location where none of us can find him."

"This is the unspoken understanding between him and me."

"He let me know that he had been beneath the bottomless ice of the Underworld Sea all along."

"I kept an eye on him and wouldn't let him leave."

The Youxin Kingdom.

High in the sky.

"The Spirit of Chaos is above me; the Sky Curtain are like me, and I am like the Sky Curtain!"

Azure Bird emanating the Spirit of Chaos projected the images of Hou Yi and the Old Ghost high in the sky.

"Fortunately, the Taiyin God gave me a hint, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find them without using their spiritual power."

"Very good." The Queen Mother summoned the White Tiger Token.

"The Spirit of the Sun resides within me; the spiritual wind is like me, and I am like the spiritual wind!"

In a small grove of trees.

Old Ghost and Hou Yi rushed off.

"Wait, the smell of the gods." As a friend of the Dragon King, the Old Ghost, who was born with a natural talent for many spells, also possessed an extremely keen sense of smell. "It's from the heavens! It's the Spirit of Chaos, and the Spirit Wind Spell."

"Queen Mother!"

"The Spirit of Purple Qi resides within me; I am the mist spirit, and the mist spirit is me!"

His strongest divine spell, the [Mist Spirit Spell], suddenly unfolded.

Protect him and Hou Yi.

Hou Yi, already clad in a silver-white divine armor, simultaneously recited the protective incantation left by Xing Tian within the [Holy Spirit Stone]: "Holy Spirit Light, protect my body; Spirit of the God of War, live forever within me!"

However, after the two recited the incantation...

"This wind is going to send us to the Underworld Sea," the Old Ghost frowned.

"This Spirit of Chaos is trying to conceal the fluctuations of our spiritual power," Hou Yi wondered.

Their doubts didn't last long.

Gonggong also noticed the fluctuations in the power of the Queen Mother and the Azure Bird, was entangled by the Dragon King.

Kuafu, riding Kunpeng and carrying Ice Bow Xuan Arrow, was about to escape when he ran into Hou Yi and the Old Ghost.

Without giving him a chance to think further, he quickly pulled the two of them onto the back of the Kunpeng and plunged back into the Nether Sea.
