After an unknown amount of time, just as Tang Lanxing was beginning to feel weak, a loud explosion came from ahead.

Then, cracks began to appear all over the crimson crystal egg.

It shattered with a crack, and in an instant, streams of flame began to escape from the crack.

However, what happened next made Tang Lan's eyes widen, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

What emerged from the eggshell was a slender, short arm.

"Dad, Dad?"

Then a little girl, about six years old, crawled out from inside.

The little girl was wearing a reddish-brown dress and looked nine-tenths like the Flame Queen from before.

"What, what's going on?!"

Tang Lan stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered by what was going on.

They walked over and carefully examined the inside of the crystal eggshell, but still couldn't find any trace of the Flame Queen.

He Xi, who was inside Qing Lei Xiao, suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Flame Queen should have broken through, but the price she paid was to truly transform from a cocoon into a butterfly, starting her growth all over again from infancy."

"During this period, her memories will jokingly disappear, and she will truly become a child again. Perhaps her memories will gradually return later."

"But now, as long as you get closer to this little girl, I believe the future Flame Empress will definitely develop feelings for you as well."

Ning Xian, who was inside the Black Blade Slaughter, also agreed, saying, "I also agree with this decision. Of course, if you don't want to take her with you, it's best to stay away from her."

This reminder made Tang Lan start to seriously consider what would happen next.

In the end, Tang Lan smiled and picked up the little girl who ran to her side, saying with a smile, "What did you just call me?"

"Daddy, Daddy!"

"Uh, you can't call me Dad. Just call me Brother, after all, I'm still quite young!"

Tang Lan said somewhat dejectedly.

"Dad, Dad!"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, seemingly not understanding Tang Lan's words at all.

"Fine, call me whatever you want!"

"Let me think of a name for you first. Hmm, since you're a born fire spirit, I'll call you Lingling!"

Tang Lan pondered for a moment before speaking.

These words left Ning Xian and He Xi speechless.

This name sounds somewhat perfunctory.

Tang Lan had no choice but to say, "Let's just use the same surname as my name, Tang Lingling!"

"Tang Lingling, hee hee hee!"

Surprisingly, the little one was overjoyed when the name Tang Lingling was mentioned, seemingly really liking it.

"Then it's decided. From now on, your name will be Tang Lingling!"

"Now that your problem is solved, it's time to address another matter!"

After Tang Lan finished speaking, she picked up Lingling and walked together toward the huge portal where they had been blocked by the Queen of Fire.

The portal was now shrouded in purplish-red flames, but touching it did not cause any burning sensation.

Tang Lan has retrieved all the Earth Heart fragments that were previously given to the Flame Queen.

In comparison, it was only slightly dimmer. The Flame Queen's power was limited, and it was impossible for her to absorb too much energy from a single fragment at once.

Tang Lan put away the original three pieces, and also put away the largest fragment that the Flame Queen had left in the eggshell.

Only then did he leap into the purplish-red flames with Lingling in his arms. He could already sense that there was another spatial passage behind the purplish-red flames.

The passage initially moved forward, but then began to slope downwards.

This time, Tang Lan clearly felt the temperature around her rising, as if she were getting closer and closer to the Earth's core.

Ning Xian and He Xi remained silent, seemingly sensing the sense of crisis emanating from below.

But at this moment, Tang Lan felt a sense of surprise.

The reason is simple: every time Tang Lan felt the intense heat from the outside world, it would be absorbed by Lingling beside her.

He was secretly surprised. Lingling was indeed a fire elemental being, a natural child of fire. Her affinity for flames was unmatched by any human soul master.

After descending for an unknown amount of time, Tang Lan's vision was finally filled with a crimson expanse.

Stepping out of the passage beside them, they were suddenly presented with a vast underground lava lake.

Compared to the lava lake above, this is the far more terrifying lava heart.

The stone corridor at Tang Lan's feet, which is only one meter wide, leads directly to the center of the lava lake.

Tang Lan seemed to sense something as well, so she took a deep breath.

The latest novel is first published here!

Then he walked to the center of the lava lake and took out all the Heart fragments he had obtained during this time, including the one on Shali.

The moment these fragments of the Earth's Heart were poured into the lava lake, they seemed to possess a strange power that attracted each other, and they quickly reformed into a round core about the size of a palm.

At the same time, a dazzling flame began to spread outwards from the circular core in waves.

However, these aftershocks of the flames will completely dissipate once they reach Tang Lan's vicinity.

It could even be said that it was completely absorbed by Lingling.

At this moment, Shali had shrunk to the size of a palm and crawled out of Tang Lan's pocket. Looking at the magical scene before him, his eyes were filled with joy.

The next instant, flames suddenly burst forth, and even Tang Lan couldn't help but cover her eyes.

At the same time, the power of the surrounding earth began to converge on this core, and streams of earthy yellow light, like veins, began to connect to this core from all directions.

At the same time, a light barrier, where earth and flames intersected, appeared around the core.

Even Tang Lan was completely isolated.

"Passed the fourth test, the Grim Reaper's Trial!"

"You can obtain three Million-Year Shrine Soul Rings as a reward!"

Just then, the emotionless voice from before suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a spatial portal suddenly appeared in front of Tang Lan, which turned out to be a passage to leave this place.

"Finally, I can leave!"

Looking at the spatial passage, Tang Lan let out a long breath.

Then, together with Lingling and Shali, they crossed over.

After the Earth's core here is completely restored, it will take a long time to recover to its original state.

It was a long process, but at least there was hope and a chance for life.

Tang Lan had no idea whether this place was actually located somewhere on the mainland.

But if he has the chance in the future, he really wants to see what this place will look like after it has been restored to life.

Returning to the same main hall, this time three golden halos shone brightly in the open space in front of them.

"This Grim Reaper is quite generous, actually giving away three million-year soul rings at once!"

That being said, Tang Lan could only be described as somewhat satisfied with the reward. (End of Chapter)
