Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

As expected of the fourth-ranked strange fire, its strength is indeed extraordinary, and it can easily burn the space itself.

Using this strange fire to temper materials is definitely many times better than the previous situation with the Sea Core Flame.

"This is my unique flame."

Looking at the girl in front of her, Gu Xun'er slowly spoke.

If it weren't for Xiao Huohuo, she would never have traded her own natal flame, but...

The gap between her and Xiao Huohuo is too great. If she wants Xiao Huohuo to grow quickly and reach a high enough level, she needs to have enough trump cards.

With these Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques, Xiao Huohuo would undoubtedly go even further.

Yes, for Gu Xun'er, agreeing to the deal with Yun Li was mainly for Xiao Huohuo's sake, not for herself.

Even if a Heavenly Rank combat skill is extremely valuable, she doesn't value it very much.

Gu Xun'er has always believed in Xiao Huohuo's future.

Although others looked down on Xiao Huohuo, including the people of the ancient clan, in Gu Xun'er's eyes... Xiao Huohuo's talent was no less than anyone else's.

This was the impression Xiao Huohuo left on her when she was very young, based on his behavior.

When she was young, Xiao Yan used his fighting spirit to nourish her bones and meridians, which deeply touched her heart.

Besides her, there was no one else in her heart.

Although Gu Xun'er appears gentle and amiable, beneath that faint smile lies a hidden indifference. It's easy to greet her, but difficult to have a deep conversation with her.

Xun'er only shows affection in front of Xiao Huohuo.

Gu Xun'er would feel disgusted and even have murderous intent towards anyone who insulted or looked down on Xiao Huohuo.

Correspondingly, she liked to show off Xiao Huohuo's excellence, and when others praised Xiao Huohuo, Xun'er would feel proud as well.

Others might dislike a girl like that, but when applied to Xiao Huohuo, she becomes the most precious person in the world.

"Here, let's begin."

Looking at the strange fire before her, Yun Li directly handed the fighting technique and divine weapon in her hand to Gu Xun'er, and then asked her to start transferring some of the strange fire's essence.

In fact, given Yun Li's strength, even if she gave nothing, it would be easy for her to forcibly seize Gu Xun'er's strange fire.

Even with the behemoth that is the Ancient Clan behind her, she still poses no threat to Yun Li. But Yun Li isn't that bad; she'll only deal with people she dislikes or who are her enemies. She'll trade peacefully with others if possible.

Gu Xun'er accepted the fighting techniques and divine weapons, then sat cross-legged on the ground. Golden flames flowed like elves at her fingertips, and the abundant bud began to exert its power.

……

After an unknown amount of time, when Gu Xun'er successfully gave half of her strange fire essence to Yun Li, her face instantly turned pale.

But then abundant divine power enveloped her, instantly improving Xun'er's complexion.

"Thanks."

Yun Li played with the Crystal Heavenly Flame in her hand. Although it was only half, she had plenty of ways to make the strange fire quickly return to its full state.

"..."

Gu Xun'er sensed the condition of her body and soul. Just a moment ago, her soul had been severely damaged, but upon closer inspection, she found that there seemed to be nothing there.

This healing power can even perfectly heal the soul, isn't that too amazing?

Then he looked at the Crystal Heavenly Flame in Yun Li's hand. This strange fire was surprisingly docile in Yun Li's hands.

The reason why the Crystal Heavenly Flame is so obedient to her is because she nurtured it from childhood, and it can be used so easily as her natal flame.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, even a Dou Sheng would have to put in a lot of effort to subdue the fourth-ranked Strange Flame.

Yun Li's abilities are terrifying.

I don't know exactly how strong she is. I guessed she was a Dou Zong before, but now I feel... she might be even more terrifying than my father.

He should be thankful that Yun Li chose to make a peaceful deal with him; if she had tried to rob him directly, she would probably be dead by now.

After all, the ancient clans were powerful, but those people were no longer by her side.

"very good."

Yun Li integrated the Crystal Heavenly Flame into her body, a look of satisfaction on her face.

Seeing that Gu Xun'er was interested in the tender sprout in her hand, she thought for a moment and said generously, "If you like it, this sprout of life is yours."

"……real?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er was startled. This treasure could even quickly heal soul damage; even among the ancient clans, no such divine object could be found.

In some ways, it's even more important than a Heavenly Rank Battle Skill, so why give it to her like that?

It has to be said that Gu Xun'er was tempted. Under normal circumstances, Gu Xun'er would not accept anything from others, even if it was bought by Xiao Huohuo.

She has a refined and unassuming personality and doesn't like owing favors to others.

But even she couldn't refuse this...

Consider it a small gift as a token of our friendship.

Yun Li shook her head. Although this thing was indeed very precious, she still had some.

"friend……"

Gu Xun'er didn't want to owe anyone too many favors, so she thought about what she should give Yun Li in return, but after thinking it over and over, she couldn't find anything that was presentable.

As the legitimate daughter of an ancient clan, she is one of the most precious people in this world, but it seems that she doesn't have anything that Yun Li would even consider.

"Thank you, then consider it a favor I owe you."

Unable to find anything suitable to reciprocate, Gu Xun'er could only offer her promise.

If I need her help in the future, as long as it's not too difficult, she will agree.

There's no need to take it so seriously.

Yun Li didn't take it seriously; she didn't need her help with anything.

……

The two chatted for a while longer, and Yun Li suddenly mentioned Xiao Huohuo.

Upon learning that Yun Li had met Xiao Huohuo in the Monster Mountain Range, Gu Xun'er, who had been quite dignified, immediately changed her demeanor.

He took the initiative to talk to Yun Li, and the conversation mainly revolved around Xiao Huohuo.

It's clear that this seemingly calm and collected goddess truly cares about her childhood sweetheart.

I really don't know how those online fanfiction writers managed to poach Xiao Huohuo's girlfriend. At this point in time, it's not easy to win over Gu Xun'er.

However, Yun Li didn't care at all. She had no intention of being friends with Gu Xun'er. It was just a matter of getting to know this female lead and collecting her information.

After spending several hours in Gu Xun'er's room, seeing that it was getting late, Yun Li bid her farewell and left.

After leaving Gu Xun'er, Yun Li didn't rush to find Xiao Yixian and the others. Instead, she appeared alone on a deserted cliff outside Jianan City.

Looking at the darkening sky, Yun Li didn't care. She just sat on the edge of the cliff thousands of feet high, gently swinging her fair feet.

As the moon rose, Yun Li slowly raised her right hand, and the golden flame she had just obtained appeared in her palm.

Compared to before, the Crystal Heavenly Flame seems to have become more mature now.

"The power of abundance is truly incredible; it can even heal strange flames..."

Yun Li couldn't help but sigh. It was already amazing that the Abundant Divine Power could heal mechanical creatures, but it could even heal flames.

It truly encapsulates the concept of "treatment".

The Crystal Heavenly Flame that Yun Li currently holds is not just the half of the original Crystal Heavenly Flame that she just obtained, but a complete Crystal Heavenly Flame.

Although it consumed a great deal of abundant divine power, it did indeed successfully restore it to its original state.

Watching the Crystal Heavenly Flame in his hand easily burn the space, turning the space of this small world into a black hole, it fully demonstrated its power as the fourth-ranked powerhouse.

It surpassed the power of Hai Xin Yan and Yun Luo Xin Yan by countless times.

Yun Li raised her other hand, and the Sea Core Flame and the Fallen Core Flame appeared in her hand at the same time, but they still seemed very afraid in the face of the Crystal Heavenly Flame.

If the mature Fallen Core Flame possesses the strength of a peak Dou Zong, then the Crystal Heavenly Flame is close to the level of a Dou Sheng.

Furthermore, what about the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the Void Devouring Flame above?

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame Cloud Glass is not easy to find, but the Void Devouring Flame knows it is in the hands of the Soul Clan leader, so we should seize it if we have the chance.

She snatched the Emperor Pill that originally belonged to the Soul Emperor, and she wasn't going to let go of the Strange Flame either.

Lost in thought, Yun Li suddenly forced the three strange flames in her hand to merge.

When the Crystal Heavenly Flame came into contact with the Fallen Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame, it instinctively prepared to devour them, but Yun Li controlled it using her Envoy-level power.

This forces it to obediently cooperate and merge with other strange flames.

Under Yun Li's absolute power, the three different flames merged together at an extremely fast speed, forming a three-colored flame.

"Now that we have three different flames, we can try refining purple materials and forging imperial weapons..."

Looking at the three-colored strange fire that had fused in her hand, Yun Li sensed its strength and felt that she should be able to try forging a true top-level divine weapon.

So he took out a purple material, the remnant of the Cleansing Blade left behind by the Destruction Legion, and prepared to test the tempering speed.

This material is no ordinary item; before it was destroyed, it was a weapon belonging to a high-ranking figure in a destructive legion.

That weapon represents its owner's rank in the legion and the achievements of [Destruction].

The weapon's owner is responsible for appearing at the end of the war, igniting the flames of destruction that burn the world.

No matter which deity favors it, no matter how glorious its foundation, that planet will eventually fade away like extinguished embers in the depths of space.

Those who hold this seal are commanded to purify the world.

Even though it's a broken blade, the destructive power emanating from this material is still extremely potent.

"It's effective, but not fast enough..."

Watching the three-colored flames temper the broken blade, Yun Li noticed that although it wasn't completely ineffective like before, and the speed wasn't fast, it was at least slowly tempering it.

Not bad.

Since that's the case, let's try forging a weapon from it.
