The Seven Mansions of the South, the Vermilion Bird Descends
"This adaptability truly befits the embodiment of the Lord."
Slightly out of breath, Changxi touched her forehead and could clearly see her hair falling out at an accelerated rate.
This means that Changxi is getting closer and closer to death.
But she remained calm and composed, as if it were just a trivial matter.
"I am not the Netherworld Lord, I am Jinhong!"
Her eyes widened instantly, and Jinhong roared in a fit of anger, raising her voice as if in response.
"I am the son of the Goddess Milun, a descendant of the Shaohai, not some incarnation of the Netherworld Lord!"
A hint of surprise flashed across his face involuntarily.
Changxi never expected that Jinhong would fly into a rage because of one of his words.
The next moment, the enraged Jinhong broke the disordered timeline and appeared directly in front of Changxi.
However, as the price for forcibly breaking through the space-time domain, Jinhong also showed signs of time disorder on his body.
The left hand is unusually aged, while the right hand has been restored to the state of an infant...
Half of his face was covered in wrinkles, while the other half resembled that of a young boy...
If Jinhong hadn't already become the "Lord of the Six Paths," granting him some degree of immunity from death, he would already be paying the price for his recklessness and impulsiveness.
However, it was precisely this sudden, reckless outburst that created an excellent opportunity for him to kill Changxi.
I wonder if it's been many years since I last fought...
Or Five Decays of the Celestial Person that caused it...
The moon goddess, who had traversed the ages, stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with a dazed expression.
Whoosh!
A punch pierced through Changxi's chest. Before Jinhong could even rejoice, she too was suddenly stunned on the spot.
This feel... something's not right!
With this thought flashing through her mind, Jinhong immediately withdrew and retreated.
Five hundred years of experience as a killing god taught him that in the face of any unexpected situation, the first priority should be to protect oneself. Unfortunately, Jinhong's reaction was ultimately a beat too late.
Tumultuous!
Almost the instant he withdrew his fist, a bewitching crimson flame appeared out of thin air.
At first, it was just a spark.
It then quickly transformed into a raging inferno capable of igniting Jinhong.
The crimson flame, like a maggot clinging to bone, rapidly spread from Jinhong's fist throughout his entire body.
"The Inextinguishable Flame?"
He tried to shake his hand to extinguish the flames.
This wasn't the first time Jinhong had encountered a fire god of this caliber.
A suffocating, Netherworld power surged from his body, attempting to extinguish the "Inextinguishable Flame."
To Jinhong's surprise, this "Inextinguishable Flame" actually possessed vigorous vitality.
No, even the Lord of the Six Paths cannot grant life to "death," so it can already be called truly "immortal."
Tumultuous!
In the blink of an eye, the raging crimson flames ignited Jinhong.
In less than a breath, Jinhong was burned to ashes and completely disappeared from Changxi's sight.
This scene was so fast and so exaggerated.
Changxi only came to her senses at this moment, staring blankly at the Jinhong that had vanished with the wind.
Buzz!
At that very moment, the stars in the sky suddenly began to move and shone brightly.
In the due south of the Heaven of the Seven Luminaries and Moyi, sixty-four vermilion stars appeared out of thin air.
Those sixty-four stars form the seven constellations of the Well Mansion, Ghost Mansion, Willow Mansion, Star Mansion, Extended Net Mansion, Wings Mansion, Chariot Mansion.
These seven constellations, when connected, form the shape of a flying firebird.
Fire, immortality, plus the Seven Mansions of the South...
These characteristics clearly identify the newcomer; she is none other than the "immortal" Divine Lord Lingguang.
Or more precisely, she was the Vermilion Bird, who underwent countless rebirths and Dao Proving enlightenment in the distant future, becoming one of the "Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth." "You are... the future Great Golden Crow?"
From the hole in Changxi's chest, a vermilion Soul Jade slowly flew out.
The moment it separated from Changxi's body, the vermilion Soul Jade transformed into the shape of Vermilion Bird.
It was a firebird engulfed in flames.
It was she who, at the crucial moment, shielded Changxi from a fatal blow and repelled Jinhong.
"No, I am not the Great Golden Crow."
A melodious voice rang in Changxi's ears, and a small Vermilion Bird slowly landed on Changxi's shoulder in response.
"I was born from the remains of the Great Golden Crow, and I am destined to be one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth. You may also call me Lingguang."
Changxi blinked slightly and immediately realized what was going on.
"Was the azure Azure Dragon that descended to earth five hundred years ago your companion?"
Nodding affirmatively, Vermilion Bird turned to Changxi and said.
"Yes, his name is Meng Zhang, and he is the Azure Dragon among the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth."
After gazing silently at the Vermilion Bird for a while, Changxi asked softly, slightly puzzled.
"If you're not the Great Golden Crow, then why did you save me?"
Gently covering her chest, Changxi didn't know when the vermilion Soul Jade had appeared in her body, but she could feel its Soul Jade.
This Soul Jade not only granted itself immortality surpassing that of the "Immortality Herb".
It even contains some incredible supernatural Divine Ability that transcends death and allows for resurrection.
Changxi was unaware that it was the Vermilion Bird's unique Innate Divine Ability— [Nirvana Rebirth].
All she knew was that she had not only survived Jinhong's attack, but had even been exempted from the death effect of the Five Decays of the Celestial Person.
Although this Soul Jade cannot truly make Changxi immune to death, it greatly delays the arrival of the Five Decays of the Celestial Person.
"Because saving you is the very reason I was born."
Before Changxi could ask any further questions, Vermilion Bird took the initiative to explain.
"My birth stemmed from the death of the Great Golden Crow..."
"If the Great Golden Crow doesn't die, I cannot be born; this is a 'destiny' imprinted in the long river of history."
"So after I was born, the Great Golden Crow approached me and made a deal with me."
"In the Ten Suns Destroy the World the world, he will die in accordance with 'history,' while I will be responsible for protecting you all during this catastrophe."
After a slight pause, Vermilion Bird continued.
"In this way, I won't have to find a way to kill the Great Golden Crow, and he can focus on dealing with the crisis brought by the Dao Proving One in his pool." Upon hearing this, Changxi's eyes widened in realization.
This ingenious move of turning an enemy into a friend is indeed very much in the style of the Great Golden Crow.
After all, the Vermilion Bird is not alone; the Azure Dragon, who descended to earth five hundred years ago, was her companion.
Facing two of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth at the same time, the pressure on the Great Golden Crow, who already knew what the "Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth" meant, was immense.
Let's set aside what the Great Golden Crow was thinking at the time.
In the current reality, the appearance of the Vermilion Bird did indeed successfully save Changxi's life.
Even through the Divine Ability of [Nirvana Rebirth], Changxi underwent an unexpected rebirth.
At the very least, given Changxi's current state, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to drag out the Five Decays of the Celestial Person until the time of the Ten Suns Destroy the World.
However, whether this is the limit of the [Nirvana Rebirth] Divine Ability, or Vermilion Bird is intentionally maintaining the normal course of history, only she herself knows.
