"This is... the past?"

If it weren't for the slightly cool hand in his palm, Li Mo would hardly have been able to feel his own existence. The Jade Phoenix God, an existence that had long since vanished from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, was inspired by countless other phenomena, some still existing in the world, and others that had been annihilated in time and space, to unleash boundless energy.

It also brought back a long-forgotten past for them.

Li Mo saw that the energy condensed into a figure.

It was a figure no different from an ordinary person, dressed in a dress formed from clouds, but her face was obscured and could not be clearly seen, yet one could feel her compassionate gaze.

Before her lay a devastated land, and a dim, lifeless sun, seemingly about to be extinguished.

The sun is about to set, chaos is about to erupt, and disorder is spreading across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, seemingly on the verge of utter annihilation and death after a final frenzy.

"This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one."

The woman's gentle voice held an undercurrent beneath the surface, a calm masking anger.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths cannot exist without the sun."

"I am willing to relinquish the opportunity for ascension and instead illuminate all living beings."

A sighing male voice came from the towering, sky-reaching Divine Tree.

It was a three-legged divine bird, faster than its words. By the time the sound reached our ears, it had already flapped its wings and soared into the azure sky, crashing into the extinguished sun.

But how could its power sustain the eternally burning sun?

Then Li Mo saw a scene he had witnessed before, on a certain Extreme Form.

Countless Golden Crow descended from the Divine Tree, one after another, drawing magnificent trails in the twilight sky, rushing towards death to reignite the sun.

Spanning a long period of time.

The Divine Charm Li Mo had never truly grasped before was now being experienced silently and vividly.

They also learned the reason why the sun suddenly went out.

A powerful being from among all races ascended to heaven, and upon ascending, stole the Way of the Sun that He was guarding.

He was not the only immortal who, before leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, made exorbitant demands on the world that had given him birth.

The Tao will gradually replenish itself, and the world will slowly heal itself.

But this is far from keeping pace with the speed at which it is being taken.

Those who lose the 'Tao' and are associated with it will perish, sooner or later.

The woman led her people through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, witnessing countless things, and her people were destroyed before her eyes.

She preserved each True Spirit as a seed, engraving them into her 'divine' essence. Over time, her Will Soul gradually became as clear and lustrous as jade.

I don't know when.

The woman looked up at the Taiyin, and one could sense a gentle smile on her face.

She spoke words with indistinct syllables, but the meaning was perfectly clear:

"The existence of future generations."

"Is everything safe and sound in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

She whispered something to the moon, then quickly continued on her way. Her figure gradually faded into the distance, eventually becoming completely blurred and disappearing from sight.

The image vanished from Li Mo's sight; he could no longer see the scene from so many years ago.

Only a vague, lingering emotion remained in my heart.

He raised his head slightly.

Before them was a radiant glow like jade, the very source of those strange phenomena— the Jade Phoenix God.

"Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix..."

"Before she 'ascended to immortality,' she left behind everything she owned?"

Li Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It's also possible that she never left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at all...

So isn't the sun a manifestation of the Golden Crow?

Back then, the sun was also a single star.

How could history record that the Great Yu Emperor transformed into the sun?

Little Li suddenly realized he had a lot of questions.

Is this something he can even consider right now?

He shook his head and looked to his side. Ice Block was still lost in thought, clearly having also witnessed the scene just now.

Ying Bing was indeed still in a daze.

She had never seen these things from the Jade Phoenix God before, and the difference from her previous life was...

She glanced wistfully at the person beside her.

It was him.

Just as Little Li and a certain Ice Block were watching an ancient movie.

The demons outside were unaware of what they had gone through, and seeing nothing, they stared blankly for a long time before deciding to predict the outcome.

"Rational analysis."

A powerful demon from the Bi Fang Clan said:

"Luan Bing is extremely fast, and her combat skills are unmatched even by us. I think she has a high chance of winning."

"Yes, if she grabs Wu Mo and drops him from a great height, Wu Mo will definitely be hit very hard."

"But Wu Mo is strong and has a strong defense. Didn't you see him go head-to-head with the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale?"

Manbo disagreed, saying that no matter how skilled he was, he was afraid he wouldn't know where to begin.

Based on his physique, Wu Mo is absolutely a legendary king of slamming.

The Giant Whale Clan agreed. They never used combat techniques and were always very simple and unpretentious, yet they still dominated the South Sea Square.

The great demon of the Bi Fang Clan was speechless, and then turned around and said:

"Are we, the Avian Clan, all rookies who are not skilled in combat?"

"All fourth and fifth-rank Aquatic Clan, come out here!"

Wu Qing was not to be outdone.

"If he can command the wind and rain, how can birds fly?"

"I've personally witnessed her traverse the azure sky, leaving behind frost in her wake that freezes everything. If she were to use this technique, how would Wu Mo respond?"

"Those with True Dragon blood can ride the clouds and mist; their speed is quite impressive!"

"He has never used this move before. Aren't you just making this up?"

"Mastering frost is not something the Green Phoenix Clan, or even the True Phoenix bloodline, can do. Where did you hear these 50-cent rumors?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Are you blind, you cross-eyed?"

"Oh dear, Clan Leader Shang, say something!"

The Avian Clan looked at the Green Phoenix Clan with a mixture of grief and indignation.

"Um..."

Shang Qinqing spat out a melon seed, paused for a moment, and said:

"I suspect that our Green Phoenix Goddess might have her little feet grabbed by Wu Mo."

"Um?"

How can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own?

What happens when a bird gets bitten on the foot by a snake? This is probably true for the Demon Race as well.

But before the Aquatic Clan could laugh, she said again:

"But it's also possible that, once she makes up her mind, she might be able to grab Wu Mo's head and shake it from side to side."

Well, it's hard to say which head it is.

But the Avian Clan nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

Swaying left and right?

Although it's a bit primitive, it's a good way to break free from control.

Don't be fooled by Clan Leader Shang's constant snacking on sunflower seeds and occasional incoherent ramblings; he's a seasoned veteran with a wealth of combat experience.

"But after hearing what the Clan Leader Shang said, it's still difficult to tell who will win between them."

"If they fight like this... ugh, it's going to be incredibly brutal."

"Who says otherwise!"

As the Demon Race talked, they became increasingly reluctant to think further, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Shang Qinqing smiled without saying a word, as if she had everything under control.

That smile, however, carried a hint of comicality.

Jade Phoenix God.

After the image disappeared, the Jade Phoenix God, which carried countless True Spirit, remained quietly suspended there, but its meaning had changed.

It seems a bit too heavy?

"You..." ×2

"You go first..." (repeated twice)

Their eyes met.

Both of them remained silent.

Wait for the other party to speak first.
