Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Rebirth from the Ashes (2)_1

"Let’s think of a solution first," Dugu Qianye massaged the corner of her brow, speaking with a headache, "Only after we figure out a solution can we proceed with evolution."

"But we have no idea how much magma there actually is, it’s been piling up for so many years without an eruption, there has to be a lot," Xiaohuo flapped his wings, pushing back the heat that was blowing in his face.

"Yeah, that’s a big problem," Dugu Qianye looked at the continuously churning magma, "Lan Mei’s mother hasn’t been rescued, and the other Phoenixes are innocent, too, sigh."

"Sigh," Xiaohuo also let out a sigh.

Just as the two of them were frowning, Dandan came out from Dugu Qianye’s body, pointed at her forehead, and scolded, "Stupid to death! How can you be so dumb now!"

"Brother Dandan, do you have a solution?" Xiaohuo turned around and looked at Dandan, his eyes shining with hope.

"Hmph, it’s only you two idiots who would worry over such a thing!" Dandan said with contempt.

Hearing Dandan’s words, Dugu Qianye knew he must have a solution, and didn’t mind his disdain; she was used to being scorned by him anyway. "Dandan, what solution do you have?"

Dandan put his hands on his hips and said, "Just let Dudu eat them all up! Really, what’s there to fuss about!"

"But there’s so much, I can’t handle it!" Dugu Qianye had thought about it before, but she was worried that if there was too much magma, she wouldn’t be able to control it.

Dandan couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "Can’t you let it handle this? Don’t tell me your little magma here, even if it were to eat the entire mountain, it wouldn’t even furrow its brow!"

"Dudu’s that powerful?! How does it do it?" Dugu Qianye hadn’t realized Dudu could suck things out on its own.

"Just place it at the mouth of the volcano, however much comes, it eats that much. Hmph, what’s Dudu? That’s an Ancient Divine Artifact! These little problems can’t stump it! Idiots!" Dandan felt he could no longer communicate with her, sending her several more pronounced eye rolls.

Dugu Qianye hugged Dandan tightly and kissed him several times, saying, "Haha, Dandan, you’re the best!" Then she took out the Refining Demon Pot and explained the current situation to Dudu.

After listening, Dudu laughed heartily. Dugu Qianye didn’t want to admit that she heard mockery in it. She must have heard it wrong!

"Master, this is simple, I’ll create a separate space and put the magma there," Dudu, having laughed enough, said, "You just need to place me on top of it."

"Alright," Xiaohuo carried her up.

Dugu Qianye placed the Refining Demon Pot at the edge of the volcano’s mouth, ready to come down, when Dudu stopped her and said, "Master, Dandan’s right, sometimes you really are so silly! Hahaha!"

Dugu Qianye glared at the merrily laughing Dudu and at Dandan, looking as if to say she was indeed that foolish, feeling like pinching them into pieces and seeing how they’d laugh at her then! Hmph!

But, she could only think about it, sigh!

With a solution at hand, Xiaohuo flew down with Dugu Qianye.

"Sister, you watch from above; I will go down by myself," Xiaohuo said.

"Good. Do you remember all the methods Fu Shang told you?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"I remember, I know what to do," Xiaohuo nodded.

Dugu Qianye, holding Dandan, flew away from Xiaohuo’s back and watched as Xiaohuo quickly plunged into the Evolution Light.

"Dandan, Xiaohuo will be okay, right?" Dugu Qianye asked somewhat nervously.

"There won’t be any problems. With the Vermilion Bird gone, and the Golden Phoenix carrying the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline, transforming into the Vermilion Bird is inevitable. The world needs the Vermilion Bird to maintain balance. The Vermilion Bird left this Evolution Light precisely for this day," Dandan replied.

"The world needs the Vermilion Bird to maintain its balance?" Dugu Qianye was somewhat puzzled and said, "Fu Shang also mentioned something similar before. Why does the Vermilion Bird need to maintain the balance of the world?"

"Originally, the Creator God..." Dandan paused when mentioning the Creator God, before continuing, "After creating humans, the Creator God created many animals and gave them the ability to cultivate. As the number of creatures in the world increased, conflicts inevitably arose. Spiritual Beasts lack the wisdom of humans, and their battles often lead to the extinction of their kind, affecting other species as well. To balance the world, the Creator God then created the Dark Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger, infusing them with his blood and placing them to guard the four directions. Only then did the world stabilize."

After listening, Dugu Qianye looked at Xiaohuo engulfed by the Evolution Light, her gaze flickering. If Xiaohuo evolved into the Vermilion Bird, the burden on it would become much heavier! Yet, as a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, it had no reason to shirk its responsibility; it could only move forward.

Since entering the Evolution Light, Xiaohuo felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout its body, and the legacy memories in its mind were received and played back fleetingly like a speeded-up movie.

The origins of the Phoenix Clan, the glorious history of the Phoenix Clan—these were the legacy memories of the Golden Phoenix.

Gradually, a fiery red figure appeared within the Evolution Light, somewhat similar to Xiaohuo, with eyes that conveyed a solemn concern for the beings of the world.

Looking at her, Xiaohuo knew from the recent legacy that this was the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, one of the Guardians from ancient times.

"Child, you have come," the Vermilion Bird’s voice was low and resonant, filled with deep affection.

"Ancestor," Xiaohuo bowed in prostration to the Vermilion Bird.

"You are here, which means my true body is gone. Now it’s just a wisp of my consciousness, guiding you to complete the evolution," said the Vermilion Bird. "Once you evolve into the Vermilion Bird, you will have my strength, but you will also assume the duty I carried on my shoulders, to quell evil and protect the peace of the land. It’s a very heavy mission, and once the evolution is successful, there will be no room for regrets, so you might want to think it over beforehand."

Hearing the Vermilion Bird’s words, Xiaohuo instinctively looked toward Dugu Qianye. The Vermilion Bird glanced back at Dugu Qianye and said, "The person outside can’t see me or hear what I’m saying, so you must make the decision on your own."

"Ancestor, what was your mindset back then? Why did you become one of the Four Divine Beasts?" Knowing that Dugu Qianye couldn’t see inside, Xiaohuo focused its gaze on the Vermilion Bird.

"Me? I was born one of the Four Divine Beasts; there was no choice in that. My thoughts at the time?" The Vermilion Bird’s gaze became distant and profound, "It should be to guard, I suppose—to keep my people safe, so they can live peacefully. That was my greatest satisfaction."

"To guard?" Xiaohuo said, "Xiaohuo only wants to guard Sister, because she has given me care and love. Is such a thought very selfish?"

The Vermilion Bird smiled, showing neither anger nor disdain. "Yours is a small love. Both small love and great love are part of your emotions; they do not contradict each other. Great love also contains your small love. Right now, you are her Contract Beast; it’s natural to love her. But if you become the Vermilion Bird, you will need to extend your small love to all the avian Spiritual Beasts, transforming it into great love. By keeping the world safe, you will then be a qualified Vermilion Bird."
