The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Su Xiaoya was a little confused when she saw the space tree that had cleverly found a gap to take root in as soon as it entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

A streak of light, like a cunning star, drew an arc across the vast starry sky and precisely plunged into a region of relatively sparse spiritual energy.

It was none other than that Space Tree Space—the mission reward she had just received from the system.

It has now shed its initial illusory appearance and transformed into a miniature planet, suspended among billions of star cores. It looks adorable, yet exudes a formidable spatial pressure.

What made her even more amused and exasperated was that the surface of this miniature planet, just like the source star core that Tianwu and Shebishi had fused together, had three large characters condensed in a golden light—"Kongkongxing" (Empty Star).

The three large, golden characters “Kongkongxing” seemed to carry a certain Daoist charm amidst the flowing golden light, yet also revealed a touch of casual cunning. Su Xiaoya’s lips twitched at the sight, and she was momentarily speechless.

The assessment is complete; it's a star that doesn't follow the "usual path."

"Kong Kong?" she murmured to herself, her gaze drifting vaguely over the illusory image of the planet. "Is it the Kong Kong of 'all phenomena are empty' in Buddhism, or the Kong Kong of 'having seen the whole universe and having an empty heart'? Or, at the very least, the Kong Kong of 'the skillful hand that can evade all obstacles' in Jin Yong's novels?"

Cough!

The thought had barely formed in her mind when Su Xiaoya couldn't help but cough twice.

Indeed, only knowledge truly belongs to oneself.

Whether it's the Four Books and Five Classics, humanities and sciences knowledge, or the inheritance of martial arts techniques, they remember them all firmly, and they inadvertently show off their presence.

Unexpectedly, the martial arts novels I read on Earth directly veered my thoughts from the profound mysteries of the universe to tales of the martial arts world.

It really is a long story!

Su Xiaoya shook her head, trying to dispel those random thoughts, but her gaze was once again drawn to "Empty Star".

This spatial tree really doesn't treat itself like an outsider. As soon as it entered the sea of ​​consciousness, it took the initiative to take root and even gave itself a name. It's much more proactive than its owner.

Su Xiaoya carefully sensed the aura of the Void Star and felt a pure spatial power emanating from it, which faintly resonated with the wind elemental aura of the Void Wind in her sea of ​​consciousness, showing an innate harmony.

Especially the wind elemental spirit of the Void Wind, could it be because it also has spatial attributes?

Now, Su Xiaoya's sea of ​​consciousness is no longer the dull and gray place it once was.

After the Water Elemental Spirit, Limitless Profound Ice, and the Wind Elemental Spirit, Void Wind, entered the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Su Xiaoya's entire Sea of ​​Consciousness was filled with a layer of clear, glass-like radiance, gentle and dazzling.

The silvery-blue water, like a living serpent, coils around each source star core. It is the spring of life formed from the boundless ice, carrying an extremely cold yet warm power, nourishing the dormant primordial power within the star core, and fulfilling the promise of life.

The azure gale transforms into the breath of the starry sky. The ethereal gale is formless and intangible, yet it can tear through the void, creating countless intricate void passages among billions of stars.

Water flows along these channels, wind and water intertwine, forming a dense energy network that continuously delivers nourishing power to each awakening star core.

Those once dormant source stars now emit a faint spiritual light, like stars in the night sky, together forming this vibrant sea of ​​consciousness.

Feeling the ever-changing world within her sea of ​​consciousness, Su Xiaoya's heart was filled with excitement.

The four primordial spirits born after Pangu separated heaven and earth—earth, water, fire, and wind—are the purest elemental spirits at the beginning of chaos, containing the primordial power to create heaven and earth and evolve all things.

It was already an incredible stroke of luck that she was able to obtain the Water Elemental Spirit and the Wind Elemental Spirit by chance. The fact that her sea of ​​consciousness could now have such a magnificent state was entirely due to the nourishment of these two Elemental Spirits.

However, gazing at the magnificent scene of water flowing and winds intertwining in the starry sky, Su Xiaoya couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Water and wind are already so extraordinary, so what kind of transformation will the earth's primordial spirit, the turbid soil that represents the heavy burden, and the fire's primordial spirit, the golden flame of the great sun, which symbolizes the power to burn the heavens and destroy the earth, bring to her sea of ​​consciousness?

If the four primordial spirits were to gather together, would her sea of ​​consciousness evolve into a real galaxy?

As her thoughts raced, Su Xiaoya's consciousness unconsciously sank into the contract space, where there was a round bead that was entirely crimson and radiated a scorching aura. It was the Golden Crow Natal Bead that the divine bird had given her.

The divine bird gave this mysterious bead so that she could eliminate the evil spirits of Guixu, protect the East Sea, and safeguard Qingyuan Star.

It was only after she made a pact with the little golden crow that she learned that this mysterious bead was a natal bead containing the original power of the golden crow clan.

Not only can it help her comprehend the Great Dao of Fire, but it can also upgrade the contract between her and the Little Golden Crow into a channel for complementary cultivation, which is equivalent to doubling the cultivation of both parties.

It has to be said, the benefits are enormous.

The power of this Golden Crow Natal Bead is indeed extraordinary. When Su Xiaoya cultivates, she only needs to take it out to feel a surge of pure Yang Fire power flowing into her body. This not only tempers her meridians but also enhances the power of her fire-attribute spells.

However, she had a question in her mind: the Golden Crow is the legendary bird of the sun, and the Great Sun Golden Flame, the elemental spirit of fire, is the source of all fires and is known as the ultimate fire. The two seem to have a deep connection, so why is this Golden Crow's natal pearl not the elemental spirit of fire itself?

What puzzled her even more was that when she subdued the Water Spirit and the Wind Spirit, her sea of ​​consciousness experienced violent phenomena, with the star core trembling and spiritual energy boiling, as if the entire sea of ​​consciousness was cheering and jumping for joy.

But when the divine bird handed the Golden Crow Natal Pearl to her, her sea of ​​consciousness was unusually calm, just like when Kongkongxing entered the vast starry sky, the entire vast starry sky did not have the slightest disturbance.

Even the Limitless Profound Ice and the Void Wind only circulated slightly on the surface of "Empty Star," without any resonance that should occur when encountering a common origin.

"Could it be that the Golden Crow clan's natal pearl really has no connection with the elemental spirit of fire?" Su Xiaoya gently stroked the Golden Crow natal pearl with her fingertips, feeling the scorching power contained within it, and frowned slightly.

Although the flame power in this natal bead is pure, it carries some traces of acquired evolution, making it completely different from the pure origin of Wuji Xuanbing and Xuwu Bifeng, which originated from the beginning of chaos.

Perhaps it's because the Golden Crow's Natal Pearl was only created through the cultivation of the Golden Crow.

Just then, the "Kongkongxing" that had been quietly floating at the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled slightly, and the gilded characters "Kongkongxing" on its surface shone brightly, spreading out an even more powerful spatial force.

Su Xiaoya's heart stirred, and she quickly concentrated her mind to sense it. She saw that a faint trace of light slowly emerged at the core of the Void Star. The trace of light was like a winding path, pointing directly to the direction of the Golden Crow Natal Pearl in her hand.

It turned out that Su Xiaoya's primordial spirit had unknowingly taken the Golden Crow Natal Pearl into her hands.

What surprised Su Xiaoya even more was that the Golden Crow Natal Bead seemed to be summoned by something, and the crimson light on its surface suddenly became intense. Lines of fire spread out from the bead and intertwined with the light traces extending from the Void Star.

A strange scene unfolded before our eyes—where the lines of fire and streaks of light intersected, specks of golden stardust appeared, gathering into streams that outlined a blurry image in the air.

Su Xiaoya held her breath and stared intently at the image.

The scene depicts an endless sea of ​​fire, the flames a pure gold color, seemingly capable of incinerating everything as they burn, even causing the void to distort slightly.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire, a golden bead hundreds of times larger than the Golden Crow's natal pearl floated. The bead exuded a heart-palpitating pressure, which was the original form of the Great Sun Golden Flame, the elemental spirit of fire!

The images shifted, and the scene changed abruptly.

Suddenly, the golden bead exploded, transforming into countless golden flames. One of the most dazzling flames plummeted to the heavens, transforming into a three-legged golden crow, the very ancestor of the Golden Crow clan.

The remaining golden flames scattered throughout the universe. Some merged into the Sun Star, becoming the source of the Sun's true fire; the rest hid in various corners of the primordial land, waiting to be awakened by those destined to receive them.

"I see..." Su Xiaoya suddenly realized, and her doubts were instantly resolved.

The Golden Crow's Natal Bead is not the Fire Elemental Spirit itself, but rather a derivative formed from the core essence of the Fire Elemental Spirit after it explodes, carrying the inherited power of the Golden Crow clan.

The divine bird gave her this natal pearl not only to solidify the contract, but also to guide her with clues about the fire elemental spirit!

Just as her emotions were running high, the connection between Kongkongxing and the Golden Crow's natal pearl became even stronger.

The light trails on the surface of the Void Star continued to extend, enveloping the Golden Crow Natal Pearl within them. The Golden Crow Natal Pearl then released even more intense fire lines, which surged into the interior of the Void Star along the light trails.

Su Xiaoya could clearly sense that the spatial power of the Void Star was merging with the Yang Fire power in the Golden Crow Natal Pearl, and a new energy was being conceived.

Suddenly, the Limitless Profound Ice and the Void Wind in his sea of ​​consciousness began to stir simultaneously.

The silver-blue water and the cyan gale surged toward the Void Star and the Golden Crow's Natal Pearl, the three intertwining to form a three-colored energy vortex.

As the vortex spun, the source star cores in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled, releasing their own primal power, which flowed into the vortex.

Su Xiaoya felt a roar in her sea of ​​consciousness, and an indescribable power erupted from the center of the vortex, sweeping across the entire starry sky.

Her consciousness was enveloped by this power, as if she were in the moment of the beginning of chaos, and she could clearly feel the original rhythm of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind.

Although the Earth Spirit has not yet appeared, the powers of the three elements of water, fire, and wind have already resonated, and the spatial power represented by the Void Star acts as a link, connecting the powers of these three elements.

"Kongkongxing can actually communicate with the Golden Crow's natal pearl and draw out clues about the Fire Elemental Spirit!" Su Xiaoya was overjoyed.

She could feel that, through the resonance between the Void Star and the Golden Crow's Natal Pearl, her perception of the Fire Elemental Spirit, the Great Sun Golden Flame, had become incredibly clear.

The primal aura of the Fire Elemental was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding her forward.

The video ends with a still image of a desolate valley.

In the center of the valley stands a huge red rock, its surface covered with cracks, from which golden flames flicker faintly.

Su Xiaoya could clearly sense that beneath the rock was the hiding place of the Fire Elemental Spirit, the Great Sun Golden Flame.

"The Fire Elemental is there!" Su Xiaoya's eyes gleamed with excitement.

She was certain that the valley did not exist in her mind, but rather truly existed in some corner of the primordial land.

Kongkongxing used the power of space to imprint the exact location of the Fire Elemental Spirit into her consciousness. As long as she followed this sensation, she could find the trace of the Great Sun Golden Flame.

The energy vortex gradually subsided, and Kongkongxing floated back into the sea of ​​consciousness. However, the three characters "Kongkongxing" now had a faint golden flame pattern next to them, making them look more vibrant.

The Golden Crow's Natal Pearl transformed into a crimson stream of light, merging into the interior of the Void Star and becoming one of its core elements. The two complemented each other, jointly bearing the mission of guiding the Fire Spirit.

Su Xiaoya slowly withdrew from her sea of ​​consciousness, opened her eyes, and a golden flame phantom flashed in her eyes before disappearing.

She could feel that her sea of ​​consciousness had become more stable after this resonance, and her connection with the two elemental spirits of water and wind had become closer. She could even vaguely feel the affection coming from the Golden Crow Natal Pearl.

"Of the four elemental spirits, we have obtained two, and we have also found a clue to the fire elemental spirit. Next, we will head to that valley to subdue the Great Sun Golden Flame!" Su Xiaoya clenched her fists, her heart filled with anticipation.

She knew that subduing the Fire Spirit would be no easy task. The Great Sun Golden Flame, as an extreme fire, possessed boundless power, and the slightest carelessness could result in its complete destruction. However, she was not fighting alone. The extreme cold power of the Boundless Profound Ice could restrain the flames, and the spatial power of the Void Wind could allow her to maneuver freely. With the assistance of the Void Star and the Golden Crow's Natal Pearl, she was confident that she could succeed.

More importantly, she vaguely sensed that the convergence of the four elemental spirits was not simply about enhancing her own strength.

Pangu created the world, and the four primordial spirits evolved into all things. If these four primordial spirits could be gathered together in her sea of ​​consciousness, perhaps her sea of ​​consciousness could truly evolve into a void. Not to mention thousands of planets, let alone countless small worlds, creating several galaxies similar to the Milky Way wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Perhaps this will be a shortcut for her to touch the supreme origin of the Great Dao.

With that thought in mind, Su Xiaoya no longer hesitated.

She straightened her clothes and summoned the little golden crow from the contract space.

The little golden crow seemed to sense its master's excitement, affectionately nuzzling her cheek and letting out a clear chirp, its eyes gleaming with the same golden light as the golden crow's natal pearl.

As expected, the Golden Crow's natal pearl merged with the space tree, and the little Golden Crow also benefited.

The most obvious thing is that the life essence lost during the battle on the outskirts of Guixu has not only been replenished, but has actually become more abundant.

Regardless, Su Xiaoya preferred to see the vibrant little golden crow.

"Little Golden Crow, we're setting off to find the source of fire's power," Su Xiaoya said gently, stroking the little golden crow's feathers. "Perhaps, you can become even stronger."

The little golden crow seemed to understand her words, and excitedly flapped its wings, golden flames leaping between its feathers, radiating a warm and scorching aura.

Su Xiaoya stood up and looked into the distance.

According to the senses in my mind, the valley containing the elemental spirit of fire is located in the west of Qingyuan Star.

It seems it's time for me to take a trip to the West Sea.

It is likely that the journey will not only involve encountering ferocious demonic beasts, but also other cultivators who covet the power of the primordial spirit, making the journey fraught with peril.

But she felt no fear, only a determination to forge ahead.

Clues to the four elemental spirits have emerged, and the traces of the Earth elemental spirit may also be hidden among them. She must seize the time to subdue the Great Sun Golden Flame before other cultivators and move step by step toward her goal.

She looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, and golden sunlight shone on the earth, as if it echoed the aura of the Golden Crow's natal pearl.

The journey to Guixu must be expedited.
