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

Chapter 187 The Virtue of Fire, Revealed to the World!

"Pfft... Pfft...!"

The scorching divine flames rolled down from under the robes of Lord Lingguang.

As soon as she landed, the divine flames transformed into scorching golden flowers, blooming wildly at her feet and emitting joyful popping sounds.

At this moment, everything was silent.

Whether they were candidates in the examination hall or spectators watching from outside, everyone held their breath and stood still at this moment.

The number of viewers on the entire network suddenly surged, the popularity skyrocketed, and comments poured in densely:

[Wow, that's so cool! Another goddess has arrived, and she's a master of fire control too!]

[No way, am I the only one paying attention? That ferocious Guixu Fire was absorbed by the goddess just like that? That's incredible! I really want to learn how to do that!]

[Don't dream about it, upstairs! This kind of divine power belongs to the level of laws; it's impossible for us mortals to learn it!]

[That's right, even I, a layman, find it unbelievable. The fire-elemental gods present must have watched it on their knees!]

[Holy crap, how did you know, upstairs? Take down my security camera right now!]

[Hahaha, that's hilarious! That evil god who hasn't even shown his face yet probably never imagined that his deadly attack would be so easily transformed into divine power by the goddess!]

[To add to that, this goddess is not only unharmed, but she's also become even stronger! Look at those feathers, so sparkly and beautiful they almost blind me!]

[Sobbing, I'm so envious of the test takers inside! I also want to feel the divine presence up close! Even through the screen, I feel their sacredness!]

[Heh, what's the use of being envious? The truly smart ones are already on their way to the northern battlefield.]

at this time.

Another trending topic has suddenly appeared on StarNet!
#Third batch of reinforcements is now open for registration#
[Mission Description: The third batch of reinforcements aims to assist in completing the mopping-up work and clearing the battlefields in the East China Sea and Western Frontier.]

[Special Reminder (highlighted in red): If candidates are randomly assigned to either the Southern or Northern battlefields by the StarNet system, ignore the above instructions and immediately engage in combat!]

[Remaining in the Federation and Empire.]

Upon seeing this news, the StarNet was eerily quiet for a moment, then it became lively.

[Ahem, well... I have to log off now, I have some things to take care of. Enjoy reading, everyone.]

[What the hell! I'm leaving too!]

[There are more spots available this time than last time, I'm sure I can get one, right?!]

at the same time.

In the examination room.

"Wow—!"

A clear and majestic cry suddenly rang out, announcing the return of the guardian deity of this southern land!

Where the sound waves reverberated, all the creatures in the mountains raised their heads.

It seemed as if only that magnificent golden wing remained in the world, as if it could cleanse the mind and burn away all filth.

Flames flowed.

Maggi.

It was also at its peak.

This breathtaking scene, where ultimate holiness and power intertwine, demonstrates that the majestic and pure divinity is never diminished by gender!
This is truly the aesthetic sense of our ancestors!

Absolutely amazing!
Wen Miao gripped the Hun Tian Ling draped around her waist tightly, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"This, this, this..."

Looking at the Vermilion Bird surrounded by divine light not far away, Zhou Qiyu felt dizzy and his mind was in complete chaos. He had no idea what had just happened.

Wait, he didn't see wrong, did he?

How did that divine bird suddenly turn into a human?

Nobody told him he could play like that!
This is completely beyond his common sense!
And another thing, she actually managed to dispel the Flame of Return to Nothingness so easily!

This can't be real, right?!
Even a layman like him knew how troublesome that ball of fire was; it was a forbidden technique that those favored by the gods absolutely could not use in the examination hall!

After all, burning one's soul is no joke!
Zhou Qiyu was stunned, frozen in place as if struck by a club, unsure of which thing to be shocked about first.

Just as Zhou Qiyu was momentarily stunned, Wen Miao stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, raising her chin: "Zhou Qiyu, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Zhou Qiyu then came to his senses, turned around and saw that the examinees behind him had excitedly passed him and were charging towards the examinees from the Southern Border not far away.

Wherever they went, the shouts of "Kill! Kill! Kill!" echoed everywhere.

Zhou Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Let's go! Our two armies are finally about to meet up!"

Soon, the candidates from the Western Territory joined forces with those from the Southern Territory.

As soon as they met, Jiang Yu, whose face was covered in blood, spotted Wen Miao walking at the front.

Ha, we found them!

Jiang Yu suddenly lunged forward, her face flushed with excitement, and grabbed Wen Miao's arm, pressing her for answers:
"Wen Miao, I knew it was you! You've already dealt with the evil god in the Western Region? You're fast!"

"By the way, which big shot from China did you invite? Holy crap, they're amazing! Even from this far away, I was affected by their divine power; my hammer even flew up!"

Wen Miao, both amused and exasperated, pried Jiang Yu's hand away. "We'll talk about that later. We still have enemies in front of us!"

After rambling on for a while, Jiang Yu regained some composure and began exchanging information:
“Alright, the evil god guarding this place is the Fire Cloud God, who controls heavenly fire and earth veins. In addition, there is that giant pillar connecting to the underground Chinese fortune, so his divine power is inexhaustible. We cannot be careless.”

"Also, everyone be careful not to come into contact with the evil species here, or you will be assimilated into the evil species."

Upon hearing this, the examinees from the Western Regions instantly tensed up, looking around warily.

Su Nan's face showed no fear, but rather an almost obsessive expression. "Wen Miao, what kind of god is she?"

Wen Miao understood who Su Nan was referring to in her words.

She glanced at Zhuque following Su Nan's gaze, composed herself, and solemnly introduced him:

"One of the four directional gods who command the seven southern constellations of China, the Vermilion Bird, also known as the Lord of Lingguang."

“I see…” Su Nan lowered his head and murmured to himself.

Suzaku.

Lord Lingguang.

Was that her divine power that he just borrowed?

Wow, that's amazing...

High in the sky.

The Fire Cloud God's eyes widened in fury, and he spewed fire from his mouth.
"Evil magic! This is evil magic!"

He couldn't believe it. His proud Flame of Return to the Void not only failed to harm the Vermilion Bird, but instead enhanced the woman's divine power!
When it comes to the path of all fires, He has never lost!
The Fire Cloud God's eyes flashed with ferocity. Without hesitation, he plunged his right hand into the giant pillar, frantically absorbing the fortune of China, while his left hand swung out forcefully.

In an instant, the sun disappeared, and the light of day vanished.

The world has changed!

A black flame condensed into the shape of a dragon, carrying an indescribable, viscous fear, tearing through the heavy clouds with unstoppable force, and rushing forward with immense pressure!

"Boom boom boom!"

The sky was violently torn open, revealing the intricate fabric of the world outside!

The Fire Cloud God's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, and the black flames in his palm were filled with murderous intent.

"Suffer to death!"

A fierce wind howled in, melting the air into a chaotic mass!
"Hoohoo!"

Faced with the rapidly swooping black flames, Zhuque remained unmoved, standing still with his sleeves billowing in the wind.

Just then, deep in the southern sky, seven ancient, burning stars were gently illuminated—

Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, Chariot...

Not a single one missing!
It is the Southern Seven Mansions commanded by the Vermilion Bird!
Seven vast starlight beams intertwined and swirled in the sky, shining brightly and together forming the star map of 'Vermilion Bird Spreading its Wings'!
Zhuque's eyes burned with fire. She suddenly opened her arms, and the wind carrying the heat of black flames made the hem of her robe flutter loudly.

With a single wave, it's like flapping wings!
next moment--

The Seven Mansions constellation slowly rotated above the Vermilion Bird's head, and the overflowing starlight flowed into the hem of her robe like rivers flowing into the sea.

Wen Miao suddenly heard a shout that resounded through the sky—

"Seven constellations of the South, heed my command!"
