I Have a Golden Crow

”Third Sister, is something big about to happen?” Li Mengnan whispered inquiringly.

After the joy of reunion, Li Mengnan realized the gravity of the situation.

Lin Shiwei and the Chi Ancestor would never appear lightly!

Two months ago, when the capital city of the Asa Empire faced the invasion of four Supreme Mud Pos, Lin Shiwei and the Chi Ancestor did not come out to assist.

And today...

Thinking of this, Li Mengnan was filled with worry, lowering her eyes to look down at Xiangcha City.

Could it be that there are many, many Supreme Mud Pos hidden underground?

”It’s time,” Lin Shiwei said softly.

In fact, over the past two months, Lin Shiwei felt very guilty in her heart.

After all, while her comrades were fighting and bleeding outside, she remained in the quiet and peaceful You Huang Realm, peacefully cultivating each day.

After being repeatedly persuaded by the Chi Ancestor, she finally calmed her restless heart, choosing to stay in the You Huang Realm and continue deducing the mysteries of the heavens with the Chi Ancestor.

The Chi Ancestor said that all the sentient beings of this world have their own roles to play.

Heaven is like a massive shackle, imprisoning every living creature within.

No matter how strong or weak the beings are, no matter how noble or humble their identities, they are all within these shackles, each with their own destiny.

From a small weed to the Kunlun Divine Tree, none are exceptions.

Yet, within these shackles, there is one special being.

A person who can change the destinies of others,

A person... who can change the destiny of all beings!

Thus, the entire meaning of the existence of one person and one bear is to escort and protect this person.

This is a sacred mission, a vaguely clear and constantly changing path forward.

Since choosing to follow this figure, one person and one bear could only be devout and focused.

”It’s time?” Li Mengnan’s heart tightened as she looked into the girl’s majestic eyes, ”What is about to happen?”

Lin Shiwei suddenly turned her head, looking southwest.

Following the girl’s gaze, Li Mengnan saw Master Qing standing proudly in the air above the western city wall.

And beside Master Qing, a gust of wind and waves suddenly surged.

Soon after, an exotic beauty with long, curly golden-red hair quietly formed.

”Senior Liao Sha,” Yang Qingqing greeted.

Liao Sha looked toward Xiangcha City, then extended a hand forward.

”Whoosh!!”

An Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet rapidly formed.

The black cloak almost concealed its entire body, leaving only its rusted face visible.

Its rusty gear eyes kept spinning, making a ”kacha-kacha” sound.

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet lifted its magic staff, raining down endless wind and fire vortexes within Xiangcha City, slaughtering the enemy forces emerging from the underground.

The precision was terrifying, and the killing efficiency was astounding!

Compared to before, the rusted puppet’s methods were even more ruthless now.

Liao Sha turned to look outside the city and finally spoke: ”The Divine Tree has ordered me to come here and take over your position.”

”Hmm?” Yang Qingqing slightly raised an eyebrow.

Liao Sha reached toward the sky, and dense Wind-Fire Demon Breath surged toward the heavens.

A massive airship quickly formed, missile-shaped and of a hundred meters in scale!

It had no shell, its mechanical body exposed outside, with various components operating intricately, dazzling the eye.

Wind-Fire Dual-Element Demon Beast· Destruction Celestial Boat.

Its immense body was full of oppressive power, and beneath the celestial boat seemed to be countless ready missiles.

However, the Destruction Celestial Boat’s flight speed was rather slow.

Liao Sha pointed to the mechanical flower brooch on her chest.

”Kacha~” The silver flower rotated slightly, making a gentle sound.

Instantly, the ”warhead” part of the Destruction Celestial Boat was wrapped in a silver defensive shield, beautiful as mercury.

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet simultaneously turned, its magic staff pointing toward the Destruction Celestial Boat.

”Whoosh!!” A massive Wind-Fire Pillar shot from the staff’s tip, propelling the Destruction Celestial Boat straight into the high sky!

As the Destruction Celestial Boat swept over the front lines and reached the high skies above the Youhan Army, fiery blazing giant missiles were launched toward the battlefield.

”Whoosh!!”

A missile hit the ground, triggering a violent explosion, the magnitude astonishing.

Centered around the fire missile, dozens of meters of Cold Beasts were completely engulfed by flames!

”Hiss...”

”Roar!” The Cold Beast Legion roared angrily, large numbers of flying Cold Beasts rapidly soaring into the sky.

”Zzz!!” Yet around the Destruction Celestial Boat, thick steam suddenly spewed out.

The airwave not only toppled the enemy forces but the scorching steam incinerated countless Cold Beasts.

”I will protect this city well, leave without worry,” Liao Sha nodded to Yang Qingqing, and her figure quietly shattered.

Yang Qingqing frowned deeply, leave?

She glanced around as if looking for soldiers reporting information, only to see another spatial rift opening over Xiangcha City.

Feng Wuheng and Langao stepped out one after another.

The small Xiangcha City unexpectedly saw the arrival of three Saints in a row.

Also present was the most notable elder—Empress Huangtu!

Seeing this scene, Yang Qingqing’s mind was completely made up.

Since the start of the war, within the Twin Tree Realm camp, there have been three particularly dazzling people.

One was Yang Qingqing, who, along with the Flowing Fire Suanni, Sorrow Seabird, and other beings, collectively guarded Xiangcha City.

Another was Langao, who, along with Empress Huangtu, guarded the East Persia Southern Front.

The last was Mo, with Han Three and Supreme Mud Po, guarding the Northern Front of the Asa Empire.

Among the three, Yang Qingqing was the first echelon, after all, her war record was evident.

In the entire Twin Tree Realm, none could compare to these three.

Even Liao Sha, who had just shown exceptional strength, was not comparable.

However...

If delving deeper, above Yang Qingqing there had to be one person—Du Yu!

Because the Flowing Fire Suanni, Han Three, Supreme Mud Po, and other beings all belonged to Du Yu.

No matter what, these three are like the Divine Sea Needle, pulling one affects all, they cannot be easily moved.

And now, Langao brought Empress Huangtu to Xiangcha City, and Lin Shiwei even brought the Chi Ancestor to manifest!

All clues point to one place—the ultimate task of the Twin Tree Realm!

So...

Du Yu, is he going to emerge?

”Mengnan.” Yang Qingqing pressed her hand against her ear.

”Present!” Following the voice coming from the invisible headphones, Li Mengnan hurriedly responded.

”Come to me to get the Jiangshan Map and bring back Han San and Mud Po.”

”Are we going to cut down the tree?” Li Mengnan’s face was solemn as she instantly appeared before Yang Qingqing, having already guessed the situation.

Meanwhile, in the distant Kunlun Realm.

Under the Twin Trees, Du Yu’s Demon Soul expanded to its limit again and again.

”You are not cultivating to upgrade.” Du Yu muttered to himself, constantly reminding himself.

The Demon Breath Branch above his head was still washing his meridians.

”Hoo!!”

A huge circle of fire rolled open, but Du Yu did not open his eyes.

In the Life Gate Acupoint, the Furious Fire Ape bathed in a fiery red Acupoint Home, panting heavily.

Its eyes were full of golden light, filled with disbelief.

Old Master Qi Tian, I... I have advanced again.

Did you see it?

Indeed, everything happened as you said, he can help us fulfill our wish.

On the first day he took me in, at the battlefield at dusk, I broke through into the Emperor Level.

Just two months later, I reached the Demon Emperor·Minor Success Stage.

I... Is this still me?

”Steady your mind!” Suddenly, a voice imprinted in the Furious Fire Ape’s mind.

Qi Tian was startled, never having heard Du Yu’s voice so stern.

Du Yu: ”Even though you are of the Beast Race, favored by the heavens, you cannot doubt your Path of Demon Cultivation.”

Qi Tian lowered his head: ”Yes.”

The past two months were indeed too dreamy for Qi Tian.

It received guidance from the Burning Sun Golden Crow, enhancing its talent and unlocking the Ancient Body.

It soaked daily in Du Yu’s Acupoint Home, receiving better nourishment.

It also benefited from the Kunlun Divine Tree, along with Du Yu, being carefully nurtured by the Divine Wood.

In the past, the Furious Fire Ape sought breakthrough bitterly but could never advance even slightly.

Now, everything fell into place naturally, easily obtainable.

Like a beautiful dream.

Like a fragile bubble.

Perhaps,

There was never any breakthrough to the Emperor Level.

Perhaps Qi Tian and the old master were still on that battlefield.

And all of this was merely the humble fantasy of a dying creature, a fleeting dream before death...

Du Yu: ”You are definitely you!”

The master’s stern voice awakened Qi Tian again.

Du Yu’s Demon Soul enveloped everything around, speaking with unprecedented authority: ”Talent, body, strength, including your living and life, all can change.

As long as the path in your heart remains unchanged,

You, will always be you!”

As the words ended, Du Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

A massive circle of fire spread from within him, its momentum overwhelming!

Demon Taming Emperor·Minor Success Stage!

Du Yu did not expect, while firming the path for the Furious Fire Ape, he would also usher himself into a brand-new realm.

”Du Yu! Du Yu! Du Yu!”

In Xuanji Acupoint, the Divine Ghost Firefly trembled with intense Demon Breath fluctuation, yet it couldn’t be bothered with itself.

The little creature, holding a large torch, spun around on the spot, joyfully cheering.

The master is most important!

Feeling happy and joyful for Du Yu is surely more important than its own growth~

”Ghost Firefly?”

”Hmm?” Little You Ying turned its head, only to see Demon Soul Du Yu appear in its home.

”Du Yu! Du Yu!” Little You Ying’s candle-like eyes flashed gleefully, bounding towards its master.

”Quickly advance, be obedient, you are in a crucial moment now.” Demon Soul Du Yu hurriedly said, ”We will celebrate later.”

”Hmm! Okay~”

The Divine Ghost Firefly nodded obediently, its petite body trying to snuggle into Du Yu’s embrace.

Yet Du Yu was merely a Demon Soul, allowing the Divine Ghost Firefly to pass through the master.

Under the Kunlun Divine Tree, Du Yu slowly stood up.

He exerted all effort to lift his head, gazing at the towering Giant Tree merging into the cloud layers: ”Today is the day.”

A slender Spirit Branch descended, resting on Du Yu’s shoulder: ”I have already gathered the allies for you, in Xiangcha City.

I have also prepared a clean Bottomless Abyss, a Bottomless Gate to Youhan Realm.”

”Hoo!!”

Du Yu’s body spread another energy ring, mingled with wind and fire.

The Withered Branch slowly descended, landing on Du Yu’s collar.

At this moment, the Kunlun Divine Tree seemed like a domesticated Demonic Plant?

Its movements were so gentle, tidying the disarrayed clothes for the soon-to-depart master.

Du Yu clenched his fist, his expression resolute: ”Today is the day!”

The Withered Spiritual Branch finally touched the left side of Du Yu’s chest, pouring rich Spiritual Qi into him.

Divine Tree: ”Do you remember our first interaction?”

”Interaction?” Du Yu was somewhat puzzled, unaware of why the Divine Tree brought this up.

The first interaction between the man and the tree was when the Twin Trees gifted Du Yu a Twin Flower, allowing him to exchange for the Library Ring.

Divine Tree: ”I meant the first time I spoke with you.”

Du Yu furrowed his brow, contemplating: ”The day you rekindled the ancient ritual for me, starting my role of Spirit Taming?”

The Divine Tree no longer responded, merely using the Withered Branch to gently tap Du Yu’s Spirit Ruins Acupoint.

Such action mirrored what happened three years ago.

Du Yu’s mind erupted with memories, the words of the Divine Tree from that time subtly echoing in his ears:

The remaining Spiritual Qi,

Burning in your left chest.

Will it extinguish?

Or consume the shackles on your body?
