By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 185 Commander of the Seven Southern Mansions—The Vermilion Bird of the Four Symbols
After hastily bidding farewell to the second batch of reinforcements, Wen Miao and the others did not delay at all and finally arrived at the edge of the southern battlefield.

One more step forward from here leads to a new war.

This is it!
Wen Miao dared not be careless and suddenly shook the fire-tipped spear in her hand.

Wow!
Accompanied by the faint, cool fragrance of lotus, the Samadhi True Fire burned fiercely in the shape of a lotus flower, shielding Wenmiao from most of the surrounding heat.

As soon as Zhou Qiyu stepped into the southern territory, he was sweating profusely and his mouth was parched.

Although there was no rolling lava on the ground, Zhou Qiyu could feel the overwhelming heat emanating from the giant pillar not far away, as if it were about to evaporate all the blood in his body.

It's so hot!
So uncomfortable!

He would rather fight on the western frontier, which was just now covered in floodwaters!
Shaking his head, which was almost spinning from the heat, Zhou Qiyu didn't bother to wipe away the sweat and rest, but said in a hoarse voice:
"Everyone...prepare to provide support!"

"Yes!"

When Wen Miao caught a glimpse of the astonishing numbers on the system panel out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly stopped and stood rooted to the spot.

Throughout the journey, the Chinese faith value continued to flow into her body.

It includes not only the power of faith within the examination hall, but also a great deal of power of faith from outside the examination hall.

Wen Miao was already mentally prepared.

My faith power has increased a lot, so my faith level should also increase very quickly.

But Wen Miao never expected that her faith level would rise to this level in just a short while since she had stopped paying attention to the system!

Wen Miao's eyes were fixed on the rapidly rising level bar.

[Chinese Deity Faith Level: Level 9 (99%)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 53...46...68 Chinese Faith Points]

More and more faith power is transformed into intangible incense offerings and karmic connections, which are then incorporated into the system.

It'll be here soon, just wait a little longer!

Wen Miao's breathing became more and more rapid, and her palms were sweating nervously.

It's already 99% complete!
At this rate of increase, the level of faith in Chinese deities will soon reach level 9.

Just as Wen Miao was thinking this, the next moment—

[Ding! The required faith points for this invocation have been collected!]

[Congratulations, host! Your Chinese Deity Faith level has reached level 9, successfully unlocking the Chinese Deity Gift Pack!]

[Host, would you like to extract immediately?]

Having heard the system's announcements so many times, Wen Miao thought she had gotten used to it.

But when she heard again that new Chinese deities could be summoned to fight,

Wen Miao couldn't suppress the wildly upturned corners of her mouth; her face flushed with excitement, and she almost burst out laughing.

Hahaha!
Of course…

"Confirm the draw!" Wen Miao took a deep breath and answered loudly in her mind without hesitation.

[The drawing of the gods of China is in progress...]

[The passage is about to open, please wait...]

-

the other side.

heaven.

Nantianmen.

After the two divine battles in the East Sea and the West, the South Heavenly Gate became extremely crowded.

The story of the war of faith among the Chinese people spread like wildfire.

Before long, all the gods in the Heavenly Court who could spare the time came to watch the battle.

The young Taoist boys and fairy maidens from various palaces gathered together and discussed among themselves:
"It's quite lively today, lots of big shots have come!"

"Yes, yes! I see that the Great Sage, the God of Justice, and the Third Prince have all arrived!"

"Pshaw, that's nothing! Look over there, even people from the Western Paradise have come!"

"This is incredible! The last time I saw a scene like this was when the Great Sage single-handedly challenged the Heavenly Court!"

"Sigh, who can argue with that! I wonder what's going on down there..."

Suddenly, with a soft whoosh, a magnificent passage appeared before the gods.

The entire South Heavenly Gate fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, some deity excitedly shouted:

"Is that the passage leading to the lower realm?"

"Aww! I've finally waited for this!"

"So this is what it looks like! Such profound and pure power of faith!"

Those who had been watching from the front, including Shunfeng'er and Qianliyan, suddenly slapped their thighs and shouted to the gods behind them, "Hurry! Wenmiao is about to summon the gods again!"

"Lord Lingguang, you are the Vermilion Bird of the South! You will surely have a place in this battle!"

The other deities also realized what was happening and offered their advice:

"Yes! Lord Lingguang, the Four Symbols Fire of the Southern Territory has always been under your control!"

"If you go, there's definitely nothing wrong with it!"

Among the crowd, a beautiful female ruler stood with her hands clasped behind her back, a lifelike feather pattern burning between her brows, like a dancing flame.

After a long silence, she smiled and said, "Of course!"

As one of the four directional gods, the Vermilion Bird of the South wards off fire disasters and guards the rites and music of the South; it is known as the Lord of Lingguang.

She absolutely had to go to this battle.

Lingguang, the Divine Lord, straightened his long, burning sleeves with a radiant expression, and a blazing flame rose in his eyes.

"I am the Vermilion Bird, and it is my divine duty to guard the southern border!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong jumped up and followed Zhuque into the descent passage.

Seeing this, Pigsy gave chase, shouting, "Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey! Wait for me!"

Sha Wujing opened his mouth and paused, stunned.

Um...

The eldest and second eldest brothers have both gone in, so does he have to go in with them?
-

Wei Ning stood on tiptoe, gazing into the distance at the fierce battle raging on the southern border defense line. He witnessed his fellow examinees being routed by the evil race.

Look up again at the StarNet system panel in front of you—

[Warning! Warning! The southern battlefield's capture progress is only 19%...15%...14%!]

[The situation is critical! The StarNet system has automatically sent out distress signals to all sub-battlefields! We are requesting emergency support from all non-fire-attribute divine-favored individuals!]

Emergency support?
Upon seeing this, all the candidates present were stunned.

Unbelievable!
In just a short time, the progress of the Southern Territory candidates' conquest has plummeted from 35% to 14%!

What exactly happened just now?

How did their advantage disappear so suddenly?
The deafening distress signal from the StarNet system filled my ears, making me feel panicked and suffocated.

Wei Ning frowned, his expression grave, and said:

"The situation in the Southern Territory is... not looking good for us!"

Zhou Qiyu skillfully deactivated the distress signal on his linked StarNet system, a rare, confident smile playing on his lips:
"So, we've come at just the right time!"

Ha! This idiot empire, still laughing even at a time like this?!

Wei Ning's lips twitched, and he didn't even have time to worry anymore. He just rolled his eyes at Zhou Qiyu speechlessly.

The way he said that made it sound like Zhou Qiyu himself was a great fighter.

The real fighter was right next to him!
Thinking of this, Wei Ning couldn't help but turn his gaze to Wen Miao.

Strange to say.

From the beginning, Wen Miao had remained silent, staring nervously at the sky, as if she had witnessed something incredible.

"Wen Miao, we'll flank you from the side later. Zhou Qiyu and I will coordinate with your Hun Tian Ling..."

However, before Wei Ning could finish speaking, the next moment—

A vast and formidable natural barrier suddenly appeared in the southern sky!
The faint light gradually blurred everyone's vision.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The world lost its color for a moment.

All of a sudden!
An indescribably scorching heat exploded into sparks in mid-air!
"Qiang!"

A cry resounded through the sky!

Amidst the chasm, a figure as radiant as the rising sun slowly descended!
Immediately afterwards, those magnificent wings, which seemed to hang from the sky, plunged into the southern territory in a diving motion!
Ignite the world!

flap your wings!

The tail feathers swayed and sparked, the divine fire illuminating the entire land!

[Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Commander of the Seven Southern Mansions!]

[Suzaku!]

"Suzaku!"

Wen Miao's voice and the system's announcement blended together at that moment.

This commander of the seven southern constellations, one of the supreme deities who rules over the four directions—

It's coming!
