Baby with Daoist Monarch System

It was extremely weak, as if it could be blown away by the surrounding storm of chaotic laws at any moment.

Xu Qinghan forced herself to endure her grief and excitement, reached out her hand, and carefully caught the faint golden fire seed.

The fire seed fell into her palm, devoid of temperature, yet it emitted a warm and resilient strength.

This was Yu Kong’s entirety! It was him, burning his body and soul, under the annihilation of the Master of Nothingness, preserving the last bit of ”self” and ”fire”!

This also meant that Yu Kong had completely lost his body, lost his power, and had only this faint fire seed left!

”Yu Kong...” Xu Qinghan choked up.

”Listen... Qinghan...” Yu Kong’s weak voice came again, carrying an unprecedented heaviness, ”This... fire seed... contains... my will... and... fire origin...”

”Inject it... into... that... anchor point...”

Xu Qinghan’s body shook!

Inject Yu Kong’s fire seed into the ”container” that was merging with the light pillar?

”Is this... the way to save Senior Brother?!” she asked tremblingly.

”No...” Yu Kong weakly replied, ”The anchor point is formed... he... is no longer... Xu Ran Senior Brother...”

”Injecting fire seed... won’t... ignite... his self...”

Xu Qinghan’s heart sank once more. Then... what’s the use of injecting the fire seed?!

”Injecting the fire seed... can... interfere... with the operation... of the anchor point...”

Yu Kong explained, ”Fire... is the cosmos... origin... and... guardian will’s combination... It opposes the... concept of nothingness...”

”The fire seed... entering the anchor point... will... continuously... interfere... with the penetration... of nothingness... slowing down... the stabilization... of the anchor point...”

”Even... if... if we could... find... more... origin... power... or... other... fires... maybe... maybe we could... make the anchor point... unstable...”

”Gaining... gaining us... time...”

To gain time!

Xu Qinghan understood!

Yu Kong burned himself not to save Senior Brother Xu Ran, but to gain more time for her, for this cosmos!

Time to search for other guardian heritages!

Time to search for more cosmic origin power!

Time to find the true method to fight against the Master of Nothingness!

His sacrifice was to extend hope!

The fusion of ”container” and the light pillar was already more than half complete; that twisted figure became more solid, emitting suppression that almost made Xu Qinghan unable to stand.

She had no time to hesitate! This was an opportunity exchanged with Yu Kong’s life!

She tightly gripped the golden fire seed in her palm, her eyes shimmering with sadness, but more so with determination!

”Yu Kong! I won’t let your sacrifice be in vain!” she shouted loudly, her voice carrying a sob but echoing throughout the entire Restricted Area!

She pressed the golden fire seed against her chest, feeling Yu Kong’s unyielding will within, then she lifted her head fiercely, charging towards the giant figure becoming the anchor point!

The ”container” seemed to sense Xu Qinghan’s intent; its abstract face distorted more fiercely, emitting a sharp silent roar, trying to stop her!

But Xu Qinghan’s speed reached the extreme; she exploded all the remaining power within her body, rushing towards that terrifying vortex like a moth to a flame!

She was going to inject Yu Kong’s fire seed, this piece of fire, into the deepest darkness!

In the process of charging towards the ”container”, she saw towards the direction of the Restricted Area’s periphery, countless powerful presences were madly surging in! The darkness’s claws, and other forces with unknown purposes, were gathering here!

The cosmos’s catastrophe in this ancient Restricted Area, completely unfolded!

Xu Qinghan rushed near the ”container”! That giant twisted figure formed from the fusion of Senior Brother Xu Ran’s body and the gray light pillar emitted a suffocating pressure!

She clenched her teeth tightly and fiercely threw the golden fire seed in her hand towards the core area of that figure!

”Go! Yu Kong’s fire!”

The golden fire seed shot towards the ”container’s” core like a meteor, with Yu Kong’s final will!

The ”container” emitted an angry roar, trying to construct a barrier on the body’s surface to prevent the fire seed’s entry!

However, the fire is a power on the concept level, a combination of cosmic origin and guardian will; it is not a simple energy attack!

The golden fire seed, as if having life, ignored the law barrier constructed by the ”container” and directly pierced through its body, embedded into its core!

”Boom—!”

There was no explosion, only a kind of silent tremor!

The instant the golden fire seed entered the ”container’s” core, that giant silhouette merging suddenly paused!

Right after, a faint golden light unexpectedly spread out from within its body!

This light, though faint, was exceedingly strong, like a spark in the darkness, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding dense gray power of nothingness!

It was disturbing the anchor point!

The ”container” emitted a more violent roar, its body twisting fiercely, seemingly trying to suppress the golden light within!

The suppression it emitted, at this moment, surprisingly showed a slight unstable fluctuation!

Success!

Xu Qinghan saw it; she successfully injected Yu Kong’s fire seed into the anchor point!

She also saw that the faint golden light was Yu Kong’s last hope left!

She knew this couldn’t completely destroy the anchor point, nor could it save Senior Brother Xu Ran.

But it was like a wedge, thrust into the anchor point of the Master of Nothingness!

It would continuously disturb, erode, weaken the anchor point from within, slowing down the penetration speed of the Master of Nothingness’s power!

This was the time Yu Kong gained for them with his life!

Xu Qinghan couldn’t hold on anymore; her body lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.

Her gaze was fixedly locked on that giant figure suppressing the golden light within and the countless enemies madly surging in from the periphery of the Restricted Area!

She knew, the battle was far from over!

Yu Kong’s sacrifice only gained a faint breath of respite for this catastrophe!

And she must live on!

She must carry Yu Kong’s fire, carry the guardian’s heritage, find more power, find more companions, to ignite the true flame of hope in this darkness sweeping the cosmos!

The gears of fate, carrying marks of cruelty, left traces of Yu Kong’s sacrifice deep in the ancient Restricted Area, also left a tiny glow of rekindled fire.

The catastrophe, fully descending!

And in this darkness, a girl stood up hard, carrying sadness, carrying hope, carrying the fire.

Her gaze pierced through the chaotic laws and surging enemies, looking at that vast and unknown starry sky.

She knew, the road ahead would be extremely long and arduous.

But she would not give up.

Because, she was a Guardian.

Because, Yu Kong’s fire was burning in her heart.

Because, she had the mission of saving Senior Brother, saving the cosmos!

The ancient Restricted Area, rising with winds and clouds.

Darkness, completely enveloping.

But the fire, still burning.

A new era, quietly opened in the intertwining of sacrifice and hope.

The future of the cosmos hangs by a thread.

And that thread is held in the hands of the few beings who have inherited the ancient will.

Xu Qinghan looked at that twisted anchor point, that figure which was once her Senior Brother, her eyes flashing with complex light.

Sorrow, pain, determination, and... a hint of deeply hidden, last hope for the ”Fire Ignition” Secret Skill.

She knew, Yu Kong’s fire seed was only an interference source.

But if... if in the future she could find sufficiently strong power, sufficient cosmic origin, even... more guardian’s fires...

Perhaps, perhaps that ”Fire Ignition” Secret Skill could truly reignite the ”self” fire of Senior Brother Xu Ran, weak to the point of almost non-existence, inside that twisted anchor point?!
