Chapter 659 Who is the Beast?
The sun, which had been high in the sky and radiant with light, was now dimming rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Like an ancient lamp running out of oil, its light flickered and shrank, causing the brightness and temperature of the entire world to plummet. This sudden change plunged all living beings below into immense panic.
Why did it suddenly get dark?
"The sun...the sun is going out?!"
Will the world fall into eternal night?
"The Creator God is here; surely there's a way! Don't panic!"
People huddled together, their hearts pounding, and they all looked up at the girl and the black phoenix soaring toward the sun in the sky.
They instinctively placed their hands on their chests and silently prayed, "Please, Creator, protect our sun!"
The Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan both looked up, following the two figures. They seemed to know something, but said nothing.
"Master, I sense... Mother's presence!" As the distance closed, Black Phoenix Bald's gaze became solemn, and his voice trembled slightly.
His mother was none other than the Ancient Golden Phoenix.
Logically, his mother could have been reborn after her death. But last time on QQ Farm, he asked her why she didn't undergo a rebirth, and she just smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll understand when the time comes."
At that moment, he vaguely understood.
The sun in the sky that is gradually dimming is probably the transformation of Mother into her immortal body!
If the mother is reborn through Nirvana and her old body dissipates, the sun of this world will also cease to exist.
But now, the sun's rays are extinguishing themselves!
"Mother..." Baldy was breathing rapidly, his mind in turmoil, not knowing what had happened to his mother's body.
Just then, Qin Youyou's calm and composed voice came: "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."
"Owner……"
"Her physical body can continue to burn for millions of years because it is supported by the power of faith of all living beings."
"But now, all the faith in the world has come to me, and the sun has lost its fuel, so the flames have naturally gone out."
Qin Youyou didn't say that it wasn't just the sun, but the moon as well.
The moon is the remnant of her former body, left behind before her soul shattered.
The sun and moon in this world were originally the blazing essence of the sun and the blood moon stored in the land of death.
Back then, Qin Youyou sealed the four ancient gods, and Ying Cancan used her dragon body to create reincarnation. When she and the seventeen divine dragons split their souls and tried to solidify the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Star Clan suddenly tore off their disguise and took advantage of the situation...
The existing sun and moon were no match for their offensive.
With only a sliver of remaining hope, Qin Youyou had no choice but to drive her physical body to ascend into the heavens, burning her remaining faith to protect all living beings.
The Primordial Golden Phoenix also resolutely separated its soul from its body, transforming its phoenix form into the new sun of this world.
The original sun was condensed into a blazing sun essence, which, along with the blood moon, was sealed into a mirror by Qin Youyou and hidden at the bottom of the secret lake.
Who would have thought that the Blood Moon Mirror would eventually fall into Chu Xuantian's hands.
Just as the world was about to be swallowed by darkness, Qin Youyou flipped her palm, and a dazzling, scorching crystal appeared out of thin air—it was the Blazing Sun Essence!
Within the essence, a tiny humanoid phantom clung to the inner wall. Upon sensing the divine pressure of Qin Youyou's complete return, it trembled violently and bowed in utmost reverence.
High in the sky, the ancient golden phoenix's tattered body, burned to its limit, began to fall towards the earth with its last embers.
"Mother—!" Baldy cried out in shock, his eyes wide with horror.
With a slight thought, Qin Youyou's soul phantom instantly materialized and appeared not far away.
Her spirit's eyes gleamed with excitement and relief.
"Nirvana!"
A clear, melodious phoenix cry rang out, piercing the heavens!
The fallen, tattered phoenix body, as if in a final burst of light, suddenly erupted with boundless golden flames! The soul of the Primordial Golden Phoenix transformed into a dazzling stream of light, plunging into the ball of Nirvana Sacred Flame!
Flames surged, divine power was overwhelming!
Before long, a pair of magnificent phoenix wings, flowing with the luster of molten gold, suddenly unfolded from the flames! The proud and noble neck was raised, the phoenix eyes were opened, and the world was looked down upon!
The ancient golden phoenix has risen from the ashes! Reborn!
“Mother…” Tu Tu murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.
However, the next moment, he looked at the sky that was being rapidly swallowed by darkness, and his expression changed again.
The sun has set, and light must be restored as soon as possible, or the world will be plunged into panic.
“Bald Baldy,” Qin Youyou’s voice rang out at the right moment, “you have reverted to your ancestral form and are now endowed with the bloodline of the Golden Crow…”
"Master, what do you need me to do?" Baldy immediately puffed out his chest, ready to answer without hesitation.
"You yourself are another potential sun besides the Blazing Sun Essence. Your divine feathers can ignite an inextinguishable divine fire on their own without the power of faith."
"Yes, that's right." Baldy nodded, but a sudden, ominous premonition rose in his heart—was his master going to hang him in the sky to be the sun?!
No way! He hasn't even married Bai Feng and Xiao Yue Liang yet! Besides, if he becomes the sun, what will happen to the Blazing Sun Essence?
"The core flame of that old sun has long been devoured by my Netherworld Star Flame. The current Blazing Sun Essence is more like a treasure trove containing infinite light and heat, but extremely unstable. It is like a container full of lamp oil; if lit directly, it will inevitably explode. Therefore, it needs a suitable 'wick' to guide and release its power steadily and persistently."
Baldy seemed to understand something: "So..."
“So… hehe.” Qin Youyou’s gaze fell on his magnificent tail feathers. “I need you to contribute some feathers as the ‘wick’ to ignite this precious mine and sustain the new sun.”
Upon hearing this, Baldy breathed a sigh of relief and flapped his wings contentedly: "I see! It's just a few feathers! No problem, no problem! Leave it to me!"
He patted his chest, exclaiming with boundless pride, "What are a few feathers compared to the well-being of all people!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head, intending to peck at the softest downy feathers under his armpit with his beak.
Qin Youyou's soft voice drifted over: "Down feathers won't work, they're too loose and don't burn well, they won't last long."
"Huh?" Baldy was taken aback and looked up. "Then...then these feathers on my head?" He tilted his head and showed off his majestic crest.
Qin Youyou shook her index finger: "That won't work either. It's too short and can't effectively extend the light to a farther place."
Baldy's alarm bells went off instantly, and his voice involuntarily rose: "It can't be the wings, can it? Master! How can I fly without the wings?"
Qin Youyou's eyebrows shot up immediately: "Am I such a beast?!"
