The Situation Within the Taixu Realm
"Long time no see, Xiao Xuan."
Although his tone remained calm, it conveyed a multitude of complex emotions.
Sorrow, pity, joy, grief, and so on, all ultimately culminate in a greeting from an old friend.
An impulse surged within me, a desire to pull the other person into my arms and cry my heart out. Countless moments of loneliness, solitary waiting, and the sorrow of seeing them off were all cast aside as tears.
However, apart from being slightly moist, no tears welled up in her eyes; perhaps she should have been smiling at this moment.
She opened her arms as usual, welcoming the Book of Cang Xuan if it were the same as when Cang Xuan first handed it to her thousands of years ago.
Good morning, Xiao Xuan.
"Hmm~ Crimson Kite, good morning."
Facing the dawn light, the Book of Cang Xuan Profound lunged at Fu Hua, a muffled sound emanating from Fu Hua's chest.
Fu Hua tightened her arms, as if afraid that she would disappear again, like a dream bubble, firmly imprisoning her.
The small figure embraced Fu Hua tightly, silent yet understanding each other's hearts, for they had been companions for countless years, laughing together, fighting together, and weathering those difficult times together.
Everything is understood without words!
When Ji Lin arrived, this was the scene before him: long-separated friends embracing in silence, a quiet yet heartwarming moment.
Fu Hua's vanished smile returned to her face, and time seemed to have flowed back to that era thousands of years ago.
Ji Lin gazed silently at Fu Hua, seemingly sensing something. Fu Hua looked up, their eyes meeting. So much was to say, but in the end, all those words condensed into one sentence.
"Haven't seen you for a long time"
Yes! How long has it been exactly?
"It really has been a long time."
Fu Hua woke up
Everyone in Taixu Mountain breathed a sigh of relief. For the Xiong Bing Lian and the Angel Clan, this meant they could leave; and for the original inhabitants of Taixu Mountain, their pillar of support had arrived.
In the month since Fu Hua fell into slumber, the outside world has been turned upside down. First, the Angel Clan appeared out of nowhere, established their own Heavenly Court, and commanded all races to submit. Some bowed down and submitted, while others remained unruly.
The various beast groups, led by the four major clans, continued to rival the Heavenly Court. However, due to the vast difference in strength between the two, even with the combined power of the four clans, they were still unable to defeat the Heavenly Court.
Left with no other choice, the four clans discussed the matter and decided to come together to see Fu Hua, with Fu Hua as their leader, to completely confront the Heavenly Court.
In any case, this Taixu Realm belongs to Fu Hua. Submitting to her is better than submitting to that bastard. As fellow natives, who should submit to whom?
Furthermore, the arrogance of the Heavenly Court is no less than that of the Azure Dragon Clan; they are just short of directly overturning Taixu Mountain and becoming the master of this entire world.
Believe it or not, they really did have that idea.
Outside Taixu Mountain, the leaders of the four clans were still blocked by Little Yue'er at the edge of the bamboo forest. No matter what they said, Little Yue'er refused to let them in.
"Little Yue'er, we're here on something really important this time, we won't do anything reckless."
"No means no! Last time we let you bring your juniors in, and you were still kicked out by Ji Lin!" Little Yue'er said indignantly.
Once, Little Yue'er, out of a moment of weakness, let the four clan leaders and some of their juniors into Taixu Mountain. However, within a few hours, Ji Lin blasted them out of Taixu Mountain with a dark expression. Afterward, he even ordered that no one should be allowed to enter the mountain without his permission.
For this, Little Yue'er was scolded by Ji Lin quite a bit.
"Last time, that was an accident." An awkward expression flashed across the faces of the four clan leaders, who exchanged glances.
Who knew those little brats would be so naughty? It was one thing in the clan, but they were just as unruly on someone else's turf. The outcome was predictable.
"We've gone back and reprimanded those brats; they'll never do anything offensive again."
Unfortunately, it was no use. Little Yue'er said no one could enter, and the situation remained deadlocked.
Ao Bing and the other four exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.
—I suppose I'll have to return empty-handed again today.
Even though no one wanted to leave and return the next day, Fu Hua and Ji Lin appeared outside the Bitter Bamboo Forest.
"Crimson Kite! Lord Ji Lin!" Little Yue'er exclaimed in delight.
Upon hearing the sound, the five people turned around and saw Ji Lin, dressed in a black robe, and Fu Hua, dressed in a blue robe, walking side by side. On Fu Hua's shoulder sat a small figure, smiling and talking to each other.
Occasionally, a fleeting smile could be seen on Fu Hua's face.
The five were surprised. How dare this tiny person sit on the immortal's shoulder? And judging from the two people's reactions, there was no sign of resistance.
Regardless of how many thoughts raced through their minds, they all steadied themselves and bowed together.
We pay our respects to the Crimson Kite Immortal.
Fu Hua and Ji Lin both turned their gazes in that direction, and even the usually jovial Book of Cang Xuan stopped talking and looked at the five people bowing to them.
Ji Lin turned to Fu Hua, "I've looked for you many times already, do you know her?"
Fu Hua shook her head. There were so many races in the Taixu Realm; it was impossible for her not to have seen them all.
"Since they're looking for me, Yue'er, please let them in!"
If it weren't for hearing about the Book of Cang Xuan, Fu Hua might still be catching up with Ji Lin in front of Fuyun Temple!
Fu Hua, Ji Lin, Book of Cang Xuan, and Little Yue'er led the five people into Taixu Mountain and got straight to the point. After all, the five people had wanted to see Fu Hua for a long time, so they naturally wouldn't waste any more time.
Ao Bing cut to the chase, saying, "We have come to pay our respects only hoping to join the ranks of Crimson Kite Immortal, and under your leadership, resist the oppression of the Heavenly Court."
"I've already heard about the situation inside Taixu Mountain from Xiao Xuan, but I'm sorry, I don't intend to get involved in your conflict," Fu Hua said apologetically.
The five people were stunned.
"Why?" Zhu Yan asked doubtfully.
If they could bring their clans under their control, they would truly control half of the Taixu Realm. Even Fu Hua, the master of the Taixu Realm, would not refuse so readily.
Fu Hua understood what they were thinking. She also knew that as the master of the Taixu Realm, she had no practical use other than receiving the realm's bonus. Even so, Fu Hua did not intend to intervene in the struggle of the native inhabitants.
Not to mention that she is not good at managing these things, and she doesn't like to manage them either, she is now all alone, with the Book of Cang Xuan and Ji Lin by her side. She has no so-called responsibilities or burdens. As the saying goes, "When you have nothing to do, you are carefree," so why make herself uncomfortable?
The Taixu Realm is currently thriving and should not be interfered with by an outsider like her. If one day the Taixu Realm encounters a cataclysmic disaster, then Fu Hua will certainly step in without hesitation.
Saving the world and ruling the world are two different concepts, Fu Hua is well aware of this, so she would never interfere in the growth of a world.
For better or for worse, these are the trials that this world must go through.
Upon waking up this time, Fu Hua planned to leave, a true departure. During this ascension, Fu Hua sensed, to a greater or lesser extent, a part of the hidden Taixu Realm.
There might be power there that allows one to transcend a realm. As for returning to the Honkai world, she also wanted to, but even she wasn't sure if she could get there accurately.
"I am always just an outsider. I can help you for a while, but I can't protect you forever. Even if I help you defeat the Heavenly Court now, if an even more powerful enemy appears one day, you will still be helpless."
"But... we will become stronger too."
"That's just strength in a greenhouse; without experiencing bloodshed, one will never understand the true meaning of strength."
Fu Hua reminisced, and suddenly thought of herself.
The lessons we learn only when we truly lose them come at a price that is far too high.
"I... understand," Ao Bing said in a deep voice.
He bowed again, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
The Azure Dragon Clan became a powerful clan not only because of its strong leader, but also because of the pride of its people. They are not strong individuals, but a group of strong individuals.
Such a race will, in the future, become the rulers of all beasts.
Fu Hua gazed into the distance. The sky was a clear, deep blue, with stars twinkling beneath the white backdrop. A brilliant star was rising slowly.
The Taixu Realm is indeed about to undergo a major change.
"Please leave! From now on, the Taixu Realm will only be your Taixu Realm."
Ji Lin and Book of Cang Xuan observed the entire process, only speaking after the five had left.
"Are we just going to leave them like this?"
"It can only solve the problem temporarily, Ji Lin, you should know that better than anyone else." As the former progenitor of the China...
"Dynastic changes are an eternal phenomenon; only change can ensure longevity," Ji Lin sighed softly.
Cang Xiaoxuan tilted her head and looked at the two of them again.
She pouted and muttered, "You're playing riddles again. Don't you know that being so smart will make you unmarriageable?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Xuan," Fu Hua said with a light laugh.
"Hmph, dream on! I haven't had my fill yet, and I won't let those apes get away with it."
"Hahaha!"
Laughter echoed, the bitter bamboo swayed gently, and the tender green bamboo leaves fluttered down, creating a beautiful scene, making the woman even more beautiful.
Little Yue'er stared blankly at the scene before her. For some reason, a sense of unease suddenly rose in her heart, as if she were about to lose something.
Within Taixu Mountain, tranquility prevailed, but outside, endless warfare raged. The alliance of four races against the Heavenly Court was bound to result in rivers of blood. When the great unification of the land came to be, it would reach another level.
Fu Hua stands high, she can see further. Whether it's the Taixu Realm or the Douluo Continent, these are just worlds churning among the masses. Above them are even larger worlds.
The phrase "three thousand worlds" is merely a metaphor; there are countless worlds, far more than three thousand.
Large, medium, small
Every world has its own boundaries. If you break through them, you will reach another level. If you cannot break through them, you will only live in fear and anxiety.
If the newly born Taixu Realm is to rival other great worlds, it will inevitably need to undergo even more brutal trials.
Fu Hua's heart is far from small; what she desires is even greater power, enough to protect everything.
One person's strength is too small, so let's gamble with the power of an entire world. Fu Hua won't gamble, but that doesn't mean she can.
Gambling, sometimes, is also a choice.
If you win, you become the supreme being, inviolable above the nine heavens.
If you lose, you have nothing.
Unable to protect them, Fu Hua would rather destroy herself.
