Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The three of them fell into a deep sleep, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Until the majestic voice resounded in their minds once more.

"Destroy the second trial, gain the approval of the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast, and successfully absorb the Azure Phoenix Divine Armor."

"There is no time limit for the assessment, but there is a risk of death during the process of fusing divine equipment."

"Assessment completed. Reward: Destruction Affinity increased by 15%, Soul Ring duration increased by 10,000 years."

"Fail the test, die!"

The three of them were startled awake and sat up abruptly.

"The second test is here. My second test is to fuse ten Azure Phoenix Divine Feathers," said Qian Gu Chang Kong.

Chen Ping said, "I only need to fuse eight. Captain, what about yours?"

Wu Qi's assessment was different from theirs. He didn't know what the Divine Feather was for, but he was going to absorb the Divine Armor, which would definitely be more effective than the Divine Feather.

Moreover, it also requires the approval of the Azure Phoenix divine beast.

Wu Qi didn't know how to gain approval, so he could only go down and see what the situation was like first.

……

They hadn't examined the corpse of the Azure Phoenix beast closely before.

Now that I'm standing before it, I feel an urge to prostrate myself in worship.

This divine beast still retains its majesty from its previous life, with its wings spread wide and its azure divine feathers shining like jewels.

Before they knew it, Hunter came to their side and explained, "Fusing with the divine feathers can cleanse a soul master's marrow and remove 'impurities' from their body, which will greatly benefit their future cultivation."

He changed the subject and continued, "But the situation changes from the moment you absorb the second one."

"Absorbing the first one might only cause slight pain, but from the second one onwards, the pain will increase exponentially, which is like a phoenix rising from the ashes for a Soul Master."

"Of course, the more you absorb, the more it will help your future cultivation. Ten or eight roots are just your individual assessment targets. If you wish, you can continue to absorb more."

After explaining the assessment results of Qian Gu Chang Kong and the other person, Hunter sent them away.

Immediately afterwards, he led Wu Qi to the location of the Azure Phoenix's head.

If it weren't for the fact that the divine beast's head was drooping limply, judging solely from its physical condition, probably no one would think that this was a divine beast that had perished countless years ago.

"Your assessment requires me to connect you to the remaining consciousness of the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast."

"I don't know how to gain the approval of the divine beast. Anyway, there's no time limit for the assessment, so you can prepare at your own pace. Once you're ready, just come find me anytime."

Wu Qi said, "No need to wait, let's start now."

Hunter was merely a servant of the gods; his duty was to inform the three of the assessment process and details, not to offer advice or strategies.

Since Wu Qi had already made his decision, he had no reason to object.

Wu Qi sat down cross-legged and assumed a proper posture.

The next instant, nine terrifying blood-red soul rings appeared beneath Hunter's feet.

For him, spirit rings were meaningless, just pretty halos; he could conjure as many as he wanted.

Hunter gently stroked Wu Qi's head with his right hand, and gently stroked the forehead of the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast with his other hand.

With a surge of divine power, Wu Qi's consciousness entered the spiritual world of the Azure Phoenix divine beast in an instant.

After finishing all this, Hunter stood up and instructed, "You two stay a little further away from here. Once the first divine feather is fully fused, ask me for the next one. Don't pluck any feathers from the corpses of divine beasts without permission, understand?"

……

The world of consciousness.

At first, Wu Qi's vision was completely black, but soon he was pulled by a suction force into a desolate world. Not far away, on a mountain peak, the Azure Phoenix divine beast was soaring.

Filled with curiosity, Wu Qi walked forward step by step.

The Azure Phoenix is ​​a mythical beast that brings good fortune. As Wu Qi advanced, the world around him appeared like a carousel, and the human world was visibly formed.

It started as a village, developed into a county town, and finally became a magnificent megacity.

Beneath the surface of tranquility, evil is brewing.

Ultimately, without any external threat, the city descended into civil war. Centuries of urban development were destroyed overnight.

In the wilderness, the standing building ruins serve as the only proof that this city once existed.

In a daze, Wu Qi's figure arrived at the top of the mountain, with the Azure Phoenix divine beast hovering above his head, looking down.

Wu Qi quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior."

The Azure Phoenix remained silent, its form enveloped in a ball of emerald light.

When the light faded, only a woman dressed in a blue feather dress and with an exquisitely beautiful face remained.

She landed beside Wu Qi, her eyes showing no dullness, only confusion and emptiness.

"As you can see, one city after another that I have protected has been destroyed in endless slaughter."

"The believers all say I am auspicious, but wherever I go, I only bring disaster."

"Such auspicious omens are a curse, constantly eroding my heart!"

Wu Qi seemed unsurprised by her voluntary demise.

Even a god would have his heart shattered if the beliefs he pursued throughout his life collapsed.

Wu Qi immediately understood that perhaps by resolving the other party's inner conflict, he could gain their approval.

Wu Qi mentally prepared his words and then respectfully asked, "Senior, are you thinking that if all the creatures in these cities were replaced with soul beasts, they wouldn't be destroyed in the internal strife?"

The Azure Phoenix remained silent, but a hint of hatred flashed in its eyes.

"Keep talking!"

Wu Qi continued, "If you have such thoughts, you are definitely making a big mistake."

"Take the Star Dou Great Forest on the Douluo Continent as an example. Few Soul Masters can set foot in its core area. However, those high-age Soul Beasts are still fighting each other, vying for each other's territory and cultivation resources."

"All of this stems from greed. Not only humans, but any creature with a certain level of intelligence would do the same."

Desire is like a snowball; it either doesn't exist, or it grows bigger and bigger until it becomes an overwhelming force.

The Azure Phoenix seemed unconvinced, and rebuked, "Human, I am not satisfied with your words."

"If it weren't for human greed, why wouldn't we divine beasts have a place in the realm of gods!"

"If it weren't for human greed, why would we divine beasts be hunted down by human gods?"

After her beliefs collapsed, she became mentally disturbed. Even as a remnant soul, she still retained the despair she had in life.

Wu Qi knew that words alone could not change the other party's attitude.

After a pause, he said, "Senior, may we go into the city we just visited and take a walk around?"

"I hope you can depict the most authentic state of life for residents in the city, what do you think?"

The Azure Phoenix Beast knew that the other party was the successor of the God of Destruction.

If the God of Destruction weren't not human, she would have turned against them long ago.

Faced with Wu Qi's suggestion, she struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately rebuilt the city according to her memory. (End of Chapter)
