Chapter 327 : You Are the True Deity
Chapter 327 : You Are the True Deity
"The Fire of Creation."
The Yu family head turned to look at Chu Sang. Her dignified and benevolent face bore an inscrutable expression as she spoke slowly, "Over the tens of thousands of years since the Upper Realm's establishment, through several cycles of change, this is not the first time it has suffered the intrusion of evil spirits... The most recent crisis in the Upper Realm occurred a thousand years ago. Fortunately, the descent of the Fire of Creation slaughtered the evil spirits, but unexpectedly, one escaped. If the Fire of Creation could descend again to burn away the remnants of evil spirits, it would surely restore peace to the Upper Realm."
As she spoke, she sighed with unmistakable sorrow, "Regrettably, the Fire of Creation vanished without a trace after its descent. Many families sent people to search tirelessly for years, but not a single clue was found. It seems the Fire of Creation has long since left the Upper Realm. The embers it left behind have protected a corner of the Upper Realm for a thousand years, but now they are nearly exhausted. The Upper Realm cannot escape this calamity..."
"..."
The family head did not converse with her for long. This was not a place to linger. They escorted the Quan family prisoners back to their base. One could imagine that the Quan family's days ahead would not be easy.
Chu Sang did not return with the family head. She bid farewell midway and went to find Quan Yu, to inquire about the events surrounding the Fire of Creation in the Upper Realm, and to relay the Yu family head's words.
Unexpectedly, after listening, he lowered his eyes in contemplation for a moment, then said, "It seems the Yu family head didn't tell you all the inside information."
"...What do you mean? Did she withhold something?"
"Yes. It's true that evil spirits fear the power of the Fire of Creation, and the flames can indeed incinerate and destroy evil spirits. However, the flames are also likely to scorch oneself, even causing one to fall into an abyss of destruction."
Seeing her confusion, Quan Yu gave a light chuckle. He stood up, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her, patiently explaining, "The Fire of Creation is both righteous and evil. It can create worlds or destroy them. The fire seed carries the power of the Fire of Creation, but that doesn't mean you can control this power. With the slightest misstep, it could backfire."
Chu Sang's fingers traced the rim of the cup as she clicked her tongue softly, realizing she had nearly fallen for a scheme.
Neither the Quan family nor the Yu family reached their positions by being simple. They were all cunning in their own ways.
The Yu family head had probably sensed something and deliberately said these things to test her.
She lowered her head, opened her palm and clenched it, muttering to herself, "Backlash?"
"Haven't you noticed that since coming to the Upper Realm, your temperament has been increasingly influenced by the Fire of Creation?"
Her fierceness and killing intent would become increasingly heavy.
Chu Sang had a sudden realization. People's perception of themselves isn't always strong, but she could feel that the Primordial Soul-Chaser's malevolence had intensified. Weapons become a part of her after contracting, and changes in a weapon's aura symbolize changes in herself.
As the foremost of the Ten Great Evil Weapons, the Primordial Soul-Chaser represented her inner killing intent. After reaching the Upper Realm, both the Primordial Soul-Chaser and Karma Burns the Three Realms had fallen into a period of slumber. But after the weapon spirit was reforged and awakened, Chu Sang could sense an overwhelming change in the Primordial Soul-Chaser's aura. The killing intent that enveloped it was so intense that even she, as its master, found it terrifying for a moment.
She was being unknowingly influenced by the power of the Fire of Creation.
Quan Yu seemed to have known the Fire of Creation from years ago. Their relationship must not be simple. She drank half a cup of tea and asked again, "What exactly happened back then? Why did the fire seed fall to the Lower Realm?"
"You are a being nurtured by the Fire of Creation. Compared to us deities, you are the true divine being, possessing unimaginable power."
"But."
"The power of a god is coveted by others."
"With this remaining half cup of tea, may I tell you a story?"
