Nine-Tails Fox: Stealing My Sun!?

Rovi the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, the mysterious atmosphere slowly dissipated, revealing the enormous shadow of the Fusang Tree.

Although he could not enter before, Xu Fu had seen the Fusang Tree cast a huge Projection on the vast sea under the sunlight many times, and had longed to get closer to it countless times.

Now that they had finally succeeded, the girl was naturally overwhelmed with excitement. Facing Yu Ji's seemingly 'stern' gaze, the girl in the square hat couldn't help but shrink back, covering the top of her hat with her hands. "I... I'm sorry..."

"Did I... did I accidentally upset your maid?"

Yu Ji revealed a murderous glint in her eyes.

"..."

This child is really good with words.

I won't say it now, but I reckon Yu Ji Rovi be really unhappy.

As a ' Star Spirit ', she is the immortal Xu Fu spoke of—on the Divine Land, being able to establish direct contact with a planet is equivalent to being an immortal. Being born a Star Spirit is being born an immortal, and the name Yu undoubtedly refers to her.

But now, she is being looked down upon.

Born from the planet itself, the elves are proud and disdainful of humans, even somewhat disgusted by this race that brings conflict to the land.

Therefore, it was only this slight that Yu Ji could not bear.

It's not surprising that Xu Fu thought this way. Putting aside the different temperaments of Rovi and Yu Ji, Luo Rovi, who appeared as the 'first standard', was a magnificent and mysterious vortex like stars in Xu Fu Fu's eyes. In comparison, although Yu Ji was equally mysterious, the difference was huge.

However, this did not stop Yu Ji from being furious. "I'm going to kill..."

"You're a Xu Fu, aren't you?" Rovi interrupted Yu Ji's words, "I am Luo Rovi, not the 'Yu' you're talking about."

Yu Ji's momentum suddenly faltered, not only because of Rovi's's words, but also because he had interrupted Yu Ji actions.

You must not kill anyone in front of me.

Like a fishbone stuck in her throat, a warning... She paused, not out of fear, but because it wasn't worth it.

Even if Yu Ji didn't intend to kill anyone, she just wanted to scare the boy away.

"Eh? Isn't that right!?" Xu Fu's eyes widened slightly, but the girl in the loose robe looked at Yu Ji, who was still sulking, and then at Rovi, and suddenly realized. "So that's how it is, the unpredictable Yu Immortal Yu, you're just a maid? You're a higher-ranking immortal?"

"Immortal Lord!? Or the Heavenly Emperor!?"

Xu Fu became even more excited. She seemed to have already concluded that Rovi was an 'immortal'. This mysterious concentration of energy, appearing on the Fusang Mountain, could only be attributed to an immortal.

Rovi suppressed the urge to facepalm and glanced at Yu Ji beside him.

Yu Ji remained expressionless, but it was as if she were saying... You silly boy, don't give me a chance to catch you.

Xu Fu's face flushed, his square hat swayed wildly, and his legs, encased in black silk stockings, rubbed together. Half of his face was covered by his hair, but his excitement was palpable. "I never imagined I would find someone like you! Could you be the celestial body of the Great God Xi He Xihe, manifested in her female form? No, it is said that the Great God Xi He manifests in female form—I guess you must be a Immortal Dao Emperor Lord!"

In a sense, she wasn't wrong.

If we consider it in terms of 'immortals', Rovi possesses an ancient and mysterious aura, and calling him 'Emperor' is not an exaggeration at all—an Emperor is the ruler of a pantheon of immortals. Although Rovi is not an immortal, he is a hybrid of human, Machine God, and star god. Like Yu Ji, an immortal who can resonate with the planet itself, he has many similarities with the star god.

Therefore, regarding the misunderstanding of Xu Fu... Rovi could not obtain the answer.

Having just set foot on the land, Rovi sought both danger and fame, and did not intend to wait until he needed to make a name for himself.

The so-called "name" is accumulated step by step.

Starting here is the perfect time to begin.

Rovi shook off the long robe he was wearing, wondering if he needed to change his attire...

"Um, about my companions..." Xu Fu cautiously raised his hand, pointing to the sea. "Could we ask them to come over here too?"

As the fog dissipated, the sailboats drifting on the vast sea once again came into view.

The people on the ship were not alarmed, because they had received news that Xu Fu was safe and sound.

They tried to get closer, but were constantly tossed about by the wind and waves, unable to move.

"No!" Before Rovi could answer, Yu Ji spoke first, "If you come, I'll kill you all—"

Yu Meiren looked impatient.

One is fine, but if more come, she'll really go berserk!

Rovi also said, "Your group of companions have no Immortal Fate."

He should at least consider the opinions of the local residents.

"But..." Xu Fu's eyes widened, still wanting to say something. Since they came together to seek Immortal Fate, what kind of situation is it if only she can see the immortal?

"The Immortal Fate Immortal Fate... If I don't want it anymore, can I give it to them?"

"Are you stupid?" Yu Ji couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ugh..." Xu Fu covered his head again, but his eyes revealed a serious expression. "No, I can't be the only one to reap the rewards."

"How can such a rare Immortal Fate to become an immortal be given away as a gift?" Rovi laughed as well, "Xu Fu, do you even know what an immortal is?"

He faced the vast sea, his robes billowing, his black hair flying, gold and red colors intertwined, his pupils gleaming with a dazzling light.

Xu Fu spoke softly, then after a moment came to his senses. "Immortals are free and detached, living as long as heaven and earth, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, following the same principles as yin and yang, and endlessly cycling."

This is a description of the magic she learned from the Spell Codex.

Rovi nodded.

He had not yet officially set foot on the Divine Land; he had only lingered on the Fusang Tree in the East China Sea for a short while, yet he already had a certain understanding of the existence of Divine Land Immortal in China.

The immortals of the Divine Land, nominally ranked below the gods, follow a completely different path. The power of gods originates from nature, whether they are born gods or Reincarnated God after death.

The immortals, however, constantly transform into human bodies and mortal forms, practicing until the false becomes real, allowing their bodies to bear a high concentration of mystical energy, and then using this high concentration of mystical energy to establish a connection with the planet itself.

Just like Yu Ji by his side.

However, Yu Ji was born as a Star Spirit, born as an 'immortal', omitting the process of cultivation.

Ordinary Star Spirit True Immortal are weaker in combat than gods who wield the power of nature, lacking the grandeur of directly manifesting nature's might. However, they are free, connected to the planet itself, and possess extremely strong immortality.

That's why it's said that they are quite similar to the 'Star God' created by Rovi, or that the so-called Star God, if placed on the Divine Land, would also be a kind of immortal.

They belong to the category of ' Divine Immortal ', holding divine duties and having a direct connection with the stars themselves.

Most of the powerful beings in the Divine Land are also considered Divine Immortal.

If someone is a pure Star Spirit like Yu Ji, then they are a ' Heavenly Immortal '.

Xu Fu knew that this might be a test from the 'Emperor' before him, and many ancient books recorded it in the same way.

To seek Immortal Fate, one must inevitably undergo numerous trials.

So what else did she want to say...?

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of wind swept in from outside, accompanied by flashes of thunder.

The sea was churning, the wind and waves were surging, and the already rocking ship began to sway even more violently. The crew members were all thrown around in disarray, and even the most skilled sailors could no longer control the ship's swaying.

"Damn it..."

"What's going on!?"

"Steady ship, steady! Steady ship! We can't capsize! We must hold on until Lord Xu Fu returns from his quest for Immortal Fate!"

Gazing at the scene of flashing lightning, Yu Ji's expression shifted. "Trouble has arrived!"

"That damned dragon..." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stretched her body.

Her fluffy shawl fluttered in the breeze, and her slender, beautiful body swayed gently.

The immortal Yu spread his arms, his face suddenly turning serious and stern. "Trying to take advantage of this to seize the Fusang Tree? I am not the same person I was before!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder spread more and more violently, the sea surged and churned, bringing with it a torrent of water vapor.

"What is that...? Will everyone be alright?" Xu Fu was worried and wanted to step forward, but he was blocked by the power contained in the dense water vapor that was coming.

If it weren't for the two 'immortals' beside her, the little girl would probably have been unable to move long ago.

She looked at Rovi, her eyes filled with worry. "Lord Rovi..."

"The East Sea Evil Flood Dragon, though it could have become a dragon, chose to live as a dragon rather than leave with the gods." Yu Ji glanced at Xu Fu with disdain, then looked at Rovi: "Over the years, it has coveted the Fusang Tree, wanting to devour Fusang Tree to strengthen itself, but it has been blocked by layers of mist and has never had the chance!"

As one of the three pillars supporting the Age of Gods, it was only natural that the Fusang Divine Tree would attract covetousness after most of the Immortals and Gods left the land and it lost its protector.

"So, I was wrong after all?" Rovi raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think!?" Yu Ji grinned. "But... I'll handle this—"

I don't want to be looked down upon by mere humans.

This is what she didn't say.

Rovi turned his head to look at the others again. He had encountered dragons more than once before. The most typical dragon Dragon Kind were the Fafnir the Evil Dragon and the Black Dragon Níðhöggr, which existed in Norse mythology.

The dragons that came from the Divine Land in the East are different from the dragons of the West.

The Western dragon is the opposite of a god and a symbol of 'evil', while the Eastern dragon is a kind of 'god'.

The wind and rain, the weather phenomena, are the manifestation of many concepts such as 'clouds,' 'rain,' and 'thunder'.

Of course, dragons and jiaos are different. Jiaos are not pure Dragon Kind and are incomplete 'gods'. If we must make a comparison, it is the difference between a god and a demigod.

That was right before our eyes, a figure appearing on the vast sea, bringing thunder and storm.

Its slender body spun in the mist, its shimmering scales rippling amidst the constant roaring thunder. It had a camel's head, deer antlers, fish whiskers, rabbit eyes, cow ears, snake's neck, clam belly, carp scales, eagle claws, and tiger paws... Although it was an incomplete Dragon Kind, its existence clearly possessed the aura of a true dragon.

An ancient sense of mystery washes over you, stirring up the sea with layers of undulations and surging waves.

That is an existence comparable to the top gods, and not far from the divine.

Just as Yu Ji was about to make a move, she suddenly stopped and looked at the figure blocking her way.

"I'll do it," he said. "After all, I'm the one who caused this."

"Hmm!?" Yu Ji tilted her head, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly. "At least you know what's good for you..."

Rovi turned around and broke off a thin branch that had just sprouted from the Fusang Tree.

Sliced flat like a sword.

Fiercely swirling in the wind, rolling wildly.

"You can also use a sword?" Yu Ji asked curiously.

"I know a little," Rovi smiled.

Xu Fu clasped his hands tightly to his chest, looking nervously at the few sailboats she had brought, the sailboats of the Seeking Immortality.

Rovi threw the 'twig' in his hand.

"Is this... Sword Control Technique?" Yu Ji curiously. Ai Ai was from another land, yet she seemed to know a great deal...

Boom!

As soon as Rovi threw out his 'twig', a crimson storm surged from his palm, propelling it forward.

To retract my previous statement, this is not Sword Control Technique known for its lightness and agility at all.

Yu Ji remained expressionless.

But then I saw the branches bursting and swirling in the wind and rain.

A tapestry of light and shadow unfolds, revealing a dazzling spectacle.

It's as if it has been polished and refined, revealing its dazzling brilliance.

The tree branch truly transformed into the shadow of a 'sword'.

"Roar!" The dragon's roar echoed.

The person's voice was panicked.

Layers of dark clouds piled up in the sky, and as the dragon continued to lower its body, it gradually descended into the sea, as if trying to bite the sky and the earth together.

In that very instant, a sword flashed and slashed across the sky.

Its crimson light flowed like fire.

That is...

What is that?!

The dragon was terrified and wanted to retreat, but what came towards it was not a sword, not a sword that had just been carved from a tree branch.

Instead, it was a blazing sun.

Arriving in grandeur, illuminating the endless world!

"It is said that in the East Sea there is a dragon, which transformed into a jiao but did not become a dragon, and is called the Dragon Lord, who commands 100,000 aquatic creatures and establishes a separatist regime."

'Who are you?'

The ethereal sound reached the dragon's ears, echoing in layers of buzzing.

The dragon opened its mouth and spat out its contents.

"Yes."

That's the only way I can respond, that's the only answer I dare to give.

'If that's the case, then please use the dragon's head—'

'To secure this high position for me!'

Roar!!!

The dragon roared, struggled, and raged.

But then the sword fell like Heavenly Fire.

Fusang Tree, Rovi fluttered his long robe, as if flicking the sleeves of an ancient robe, recalling the past splendor he had longed for long ago.

Some actions, some memories, are hard to forget even after many years in a foreign land.

The heart moves as it pleases.

Roar! The dragon struggled, but the sword light fell like the sun, severing its head with a single stroke.

Seawater mixed with dragon blood rained down, but it was like a torrential downpour, falling in a flurry before evaporating. The rising steam filled the ocean like mist, and the crowd looked up in bewilderment...

A giant tree was seen swaying above.

The sunlight appeared on the top of his head.

Rovi raised his hand, and the 'sword' reflecting a dazzling red light fell into his palm.

He held the Blazing Sun in his hands.

The enormous Fusang tree became a backdrop for him.

god!?

At this time, when the sun rises in the east, at the dawn of the east, one can see the purple glow of the sun...

"Donghua... Donghua..."

"The God of Sunrise, the Fusang Tree..."

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, the people who had come looked up at the Immortals and Gods in the sky and murmured softly.

That was a revelation from the ' Immortals and Gods '.

This was also the purpose behind Rovi's departure.

Using the people of China to establish connections for themselves and their intentions, they aim to reclaim their place in the divine realm and leave their mark.

God's personality is born from faith.

This is true even across the Divine Land.

Rovi, through faith, could also replace a yet-to-be-presented, personified god...

This was his true purpose, the reason he used the Fusang Tree as a sword and transformed the concept of the sun contained within it into the sword's edge, and the other reason why he did not immediately repair the Fusang gate, besides wanting to meet Xu Fu.

With a single sword, he slays a dragon, displaying divine power before mortals.

Leave your name and surname.

Using this as a starting point, it was transformed into a deity.

"Leave behind the name of the Princess of Fusang." The sword gleamed like the sun, and Fusang bowed in submission. Yu Ji stared blankly at Rovi's figure beside her, watching as her home became someone else's... Was I tricked again?!

Yu Ji was completely unaware that she was actually the one who had usurped the place, and that Rovi actually had the idea of helping her become the rightful owner of this place, intending to truly lend it to her.

For Yu Ji, this was actually a risk-free and highly profitable exchange, but unfortunately she seemed unaware of it.

Xu Fu, on the other side, was equally excited, his face flushed, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

She saw...

The Immortals and Gods have ascended to the throne!

The storm subsided, and the sun rose in the sky.

Countless extraordinary individuals traveling across the Divine Land simultaneously raised their eyes, and countless sorcerers opened their mysterious ' Magic Eye ' to observe the sudden appearance of the divine light in the sky.

"The Age of Gods has passed... so why are there still gods returning?"

"Donghua, a name I've heard of before."

"I've heard of it before, and I'll probably hear it quite often in the future—"

"A new Sun Emperor Lord... First, the Great Qin Dynasty emerged from the east, then Immortals and Gods reappeared. What kind of omen is this? I can't calculate it; even with my old Guigu Algorithm, I can't figure it out..."

Click, click, click...

"Arara~~~ Donghua? Who is that... who dares to step in front of me and seize the power of the sun!?" Between a magnificent palace, a nine-tailed fox swept the dust like a whisk, and a graceful figure sat there, looking relaxed.

The handrail beneath her palm shattered instantly.
