Son of Garuda

Little Six is the sixth among the ten Golden Crow.

He was neither as powerful as the Great Golden Crow, nor as favored as the Little Golden Crow.

But in terms of talent, Little Six is the most outstanding among the ten Golden Crow. The Great Golden Crow even said that he resembled his mother, Xihe. Xihe was an ancient Sun God and the ruler before Hao Jun's reign.

In Xihe's ancient era, even the concept of "gods" was just a very general one.

All beings are equal under the sun, but only Xihe possesses that eternal radiance.

The fact that Little Six received such high praise from Great Golden Crow is enough to show how amazing his talent is.

However, in stark contrast to this outstanding talent was Little Six's timid and cowardly personality.

In any era and among any group, there is no shortage of individuals who are exceptionally talented but achieve nothing.

Because compared to mere talent, personality, experience, wisdom, beliefs, and even the prevailing trends of the times are the true keys to determining a person's potential. Therefore, although Little Six was the first of the ten Golden Crow to advance to the level of Heavenly Deity, he remained at that stage for thousands of years due to his own personality. It's impossible to say that Little Six didn't have feelings as he watched his brothers surpass him.

However, Little Six secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because as the son of the Heavenly Emperor, power often symbolizes responsibility, and an inescapable responsibility at that.

When the Great Golden Crow took on this responsibility, Little Six's shame was genuine, as was his relief.

Especially after the other Golden Crow also grew up, the responsibility that originally belonged to Little Six was naturally diluted.

Before the War of Shooting the Suns, even the weakest of the brothers, Little Ten, bravely stood up, wanting to avenge his brothers.

Only Little Six, caught between anger and fear, shamefully hid away.

It was precisely because of this that Little Six ultimately survived the War of Shooting the Suns and even succeeded in inheriting the [Heavenly Emperor's Capital] to become the second Heavenly Emperor —at least, that's what Little Six himself believed.

It wasn't until Xiluo appeared and began collecting the names of gods that Little Six realized he was merely someone else's dream.

When the "dream weaver" wakes up from his dream, he too will perish completely.

Unwilling to accept this fate, Little Six chose to struggle and rebel for the first time.

The outcome is self-evident. In the final moments before being killed by Yinjiao, Little Six's mind went completely blank; his heart was surprisingly calm. [I'm finally free!]

[Father, brother, younger brother, and older and younger sisters, I've come to join you!]

With a blink of an eye, Little Six suddenly felt a familiar sense of constraint.

Little Six tried to open his eyes wide, but all he could see was complete darkness.

Moreover, when Little Six instinctively tried to struggle, he discovered that his body was completely unable to stretch out.

Feeling as if trapped in a cage, Little Six tried to stretch his body out, but instead felt an even stronger sense of oppression and suffocation. "Ah!"

Startled, Little Six instinctively cried out.

Hearing that childish cry coming from his own mouth, Little Six was truly stunned.

As a Innate Deity, Little Six had memories of what happened before he was born.

That memory, while still inside the Golden Crow's egg, is the beginning of all of Little Six's memories.

Chi could even clearly remember his mother Xihe's gentle voice—it was just like the voice now ringing in his ears. [This feeling...]

With disbelief, Little Six tentatively used its beak to pry open the darkness that bound it.

Crack...

Then, with a crisp cracking sound, a ray of light pierced through the darkness.

Staring blankly at the ray of sunlight shining on him, Little Six suddenly burst into tears without warning.

I just don't know whether these tears represent sadness or tears of joy.

Crack...

Just then, the entire eggshell shattered completely.

More sunlight shone on Little Six, causing him to uncontrollably ignite True Solar Fire.

Then, Little Six saw a golden roc through the True Solar Fire.

At this moment, the golden roc was tilting its head, looking at the cub shrouded in flames with a puzzled expression.

As one of the Eight Legions, Garuda, the golden roc, is undoubtedly the embodiment of greed.

But this does not mean that the Garuda are a bunch of mindless beasts.

On the contrary, in this Renli Heaven, the Garuda are one of the few groups that possess a complete knowledge system and lineage.

Therefore, this Garuda, who had just become a mother, immediately noticed the abnormality in Little Six.

Whether it was that human-like gaze or the golden flames burning around it like the sun, these were things that a normal Garuda didn't possess. Garuda even suspected that someone had switched its egg.

"No doubt about it, he is your child."

As the suspicion in Garuda's eyes gradually turned into ferocity, a voice suddenly entered the nest.

The next second, a deity wearing a jeweled crown and golden armor appeared in Little Six's field of vision.

"The Innate Divine Being's birth naturally possesses an extraordinary aspect."

"Since your Garuda has submitted to me, I will naturally protect you."

"If you are unwilling to raise this Innate Divine Being, I can take him away and guarantee that Chi will not disturb you again."

Upon hearing the golden-armored man's words, the female Garuda also spoke in a gentle and elegant voice.

"You flatter me. Your Majesty is the Heavenly Emperor, destined to rule the Heavenly Realm as Śakra..."

"It is already an honor for us that you are willing to let our lineage reside on this Mount Sumeru. How could we dare to trouble you with such a small matter?" The female Garuda paused slightly at this point before continuing.

"Rest assured, since this child was born extraordinary, I will do my utmost to raise him."

"When you need our strength in the future, he will become your most valiant general!"

Indra gave the female Garuda a deep look, then said nothing more, turning to the still bewildered Little Six. "Since the birth of the Six Desire Heavens, you are the first cultivator to appear in this world."

"Regardless of who you were in your previous life, since you are unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation, from this day forward you are Garuda."

"Garuda is the embodiment of greed. The reason you were reborn as Garuda is because of the insatiable greed in your heart."

"Whatever you covet, I hope you can restrain your nature, maintain your true self, and not do anything that will make everyone unhappy." As he spoke, Indra approached Little Six and pointed to his forehead.

"This is my blessing, and also a symbol of your status."

"In the Renli Thirty-Three Heavens, on Mount Sumeru, you will be fearless against any flames, even those from the sun." It was as if this was a confirmation of Indra's words.

The True Solar Fire surrounding Little Six suddenly subsided completely, and his appearance underwent a dramatic change.

With a bird's face and a human body, bearing wings on its back, and a fire mark between its brows bestowing blessings...

Having successfully transformed, Little Six looked exactly like a doll, with only the burning True Solar Fire in his pupils still proclaiming his nobility.
