Offering my divine power to break my karma

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Zero's body completely disappeared, and Zero also felt as if his body had been hollowed out and was extremely tired.

My eyes felt very heavy and I just wanted to have a good sleep.

In a daze, Ling felt like he was dreaming.

In his dream, Zero saw a mythical beast, Suzaku, being born in the midst of chaos.

The Vermilion Bird is surrounded by blazing flames, its wings burning like flames, beautiful and mysterious.

Suzaku became the patron saint of a small world with very thin spiritual energy, guarding this land and life.

As time goes by, this small world gradually enters modern society.

High-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete are being built in the city, and all kinds of means of transportation are speeding on the wide concrete roads.

Human life is becoming more and more convenient and wealthy. However, at the same time, human beings are also increasingly destroying the world.

In pursuit of economic development, people have cut down trees in forests on a large scale, causing serious damage to the ecological balance; in order to obtain more wealth, countless rare species are facing the crisis of extinction; in order to fight for interests, brutal wars have continued to break out.

What is even more worrying is that various weapons that are extremely harmful to the environment have been developed and put into use, and nuclear waste water has been discharged into the sea, bringing huge disasters to the earth.

With all kinds of destruction, the already limited energy in the small world is slowly depleted, and the entire world is in danger of death or even collapse at any time.

Although Suzaku is the patron saint of this small world, it cannot interfere with the development of the world and can only watch as humans destroy their homeland step by step.

In the dream, Ling touched his heart in confusion.

This heart, which did not have much emotional fluctuations even in the face of death, now felt a strange, strong emotion called despair.

Zero was a little unsure. Was this strong emotion from Suzaku or himself?

At the end of this dream, Suzaku divided his power into two and injected half of it into the origin of the small world, injecting the last bit of energy into the small world that was about to run out of energy and fall into death.

Unfortunately, the humans of the small world were unaware that their patron saint had sacrificed himself for the mistakes they had made.

They also knew that they had lost their patron saint and the world’s energy was running low.

Ignorant human beings continue to destroy the world in order to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Ling stared blankly at the void where Suzaku disappeared, his eyes empty and confused.

Ling felt his cheeks were a little wet, and he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, but found that there were crystal tears between his fingers.

"Tears..." Ling murmured softly, with a hint of confusion and puzzlement in his voice.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes again.

"Did I cry? But why did I cry?"

In Zero's memory, even during the most painful ten years of his life, he had never shed a tear.

Crying, a normal way of expressing human emotions, is very strange and distant to Zero.

Even after he integrated into normal life, Zero only imitated crying as a way of expressing emotions when necessary and never cried sincerely.

However, at this moment, my tears, which had always been obedient, now involuntarily fell from the corners of my eyes.

It was as if he was sad about Suzaku's death.

But why should I be sad?

Clearly, my life was worse than death. Shouldn’t death be a relief for me?

Why should I be sad about the death of a red bird?

Just as Zero was looking at the tears on his fingertips and falling into confusion, a ball of powerful energy flew towards Zero, and Zero's confused eyes immediately became sharp.

Zero wanted to dodge, but perhaps it was a dream, Zero's body was out of control, and he could only watch as the power penetrated into his body.

……

At the crater, Chongjiu was sorting out the various fire-attributed treasures he had collected over the past few days, preparing to give them to that stinky girl after she came out.

Suddenly, there was a "bang!" and a splash of water. Oh no! The lava exploded.

A bird-like creature rushed out of the crater, splashing lava all over Chongjiu's head and body.

Chongjiu: "?!!!!!!"

Take a deep breath. The child is still young and doesn't understand much, so stay calm.

Shit! Calm down!

"Stinky! bastard!"

After wiping the lava off his face, Chongjiu gritted his teeth and turned to look at the figure soaring in the air.

Hearing Chongjiu's gritting teeth, Ling flapped the large fiery red wings behind him and hovered in front of Chongjiu.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. This allowed me to successfully awaken my bloodline."

The expression is well-behaved, the attitude is sincere, and the tone is genuine.

Chongjiu: "..."

With a puff, the little flame that had just appeared in my heart was extinguished.

"you you……"

You kept saying "you you you" for a long time, but couldn't say a single harsh word.

Finally, the Demon Lord threw his sleeves, looked downcast, and said unhappily:

"Please fold those big wings behind you, you are blocking my sunlight."

zero:"."

Zero was silent for two seconds, and finally said calmly:

"I can't retract my wings."

Chongjiu: "?"

what?

"You failed to awaken your bloodline?"

Chongjiu asked uncertainly.

"It succeeded. But I haven't completely mastered the Suzaku bloodline in my body, so I can't retract my wings for the time being."

Zero explained expressionlessly.

Double Ninth: (*σ′?`)σ

The next second, Chongjiu's droopy face changed, and he couldn't hide his gloating.

"Oh, it's okay. You're fine like this."

Wow, the shape of the big wings on the back is really unique.

Chongjiu comforted him with a hypocritical look on his face.

zero:? - _ - ?

Haha~

No matter how much you laugh at her, the little girl has awakened the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird and possesses the real Nanming Lihuo. As long as she can continue to grow, it is not impossible for her to become the real divine beast Vermillion Bird in the future.

As the senior of this naughty girl, Chongjiu felt that he should show some appreciation for the progress made by the junior.

Therefore, Chongjiu stuffed all the fire-attributed treasures he had collected during this period into Ling's hands.

"Hey, little girl, this is a gift from me. I wish you a successful awakening of the Vermillion Bird bloodline."

Ling looked at the fire-attributed treasure in his hand that he had obviously found not long ago, and a warm feeling passed through his heart. He thanked Chongjiu sincerely.

"Thank you, senior."

These fire-attributed treasures given by Chongjiu are all things that Ling urgently needs right now. It is obvious that Chongjiu found them specially for him.

Thinking of something, Ling took out the pitch-black space-hiding stone from his storage bracelet and handed it to Chongjiu.

"Senior, your space-hiding stone."

Chongjiu glanced at the space-hiding stone and waved his hand indifferently.

"Take this for yourself. I don't need it."

"Senior, are you really not going to take it back?"

Zero asked again uncertainly.

"Okay, this is a gift from me, take it."

Chongjiu still waved his hand nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Ling did not hesitate and quickly put the precious space-hiding stone, along with the newly acquired fire-attributed treasure, into his storage bracelet.
