"Since you are a visitor, why don't you show yourself?" Li Wanji said loudly, trying to draw out the mysterious voice.
The palace gate slowly opened, and a golden light sprinkled out from the door, shining on Li Wanji's face, appearing a little dazzling.
She subconsciously raised her hand to cover herself, but saw a man tied to a huge golden pillar with chains. The chains were shining with mysterious light and were obviously not ordinary items.
The man was dressed in golden clothes and had long hair as black as ink. His eyes and brows revealed an unruly and arrogant look. Even when he was bound, it was difficult to conceal his elegance.
"Who are you?" Li Wanji was shocked and couldn't help asking.
"What do you think, girl?" the man raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked back.
Li Wanji calmed down and observed the man carefully. Although he was bound by chains, he did not look decadent at all, but full of strength and vitality.
His cultivation has reached the Daozu realm. Such a profound cultivation level is probably only possessed by the gods from the heavens beyond the heavens. But why is he trapped here?
"Are you a powerful person from the Golden Crow clan?" she asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the man laughed out loud: "Great power? This word is quite interesting. That's right, I am Zhongrong, the Three-legged Golden Crow."
"I am Li Wanji, a junior, and nice to meet you, Senior Zhongrong." Li Wanji was delighted and bowed respectfully.
Zhongrong nodded slightly, responding to her courtesy.
He looked at Li Wanji, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Little girl, the fact that you can find this place shows that you have good abilities and good luck."
Li Wanji said modestly: "Senior, you are too kind. I am just lucky."
"Luck? Humph, there aren't that many lucks in this world." Zhong Rong chuckled and changed the subject, "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Li Wanji said seriously: "I would like to ask you to come out and help me."
"Oh? Give you a hand?" Zhongrong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know why I am trapped here?"
Li Wanji shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I am willing to do my best to help you out of this predicament."
Zhong Rong heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Escape? Haha, little girl, you are so arrogant!"
"However, I admire your courage and determination. However, it is not so easy to help me out of this predicament."
"Why do you think so?" Li Wanji asked puzzledly.
"This chain is called 'Light Shackles'. It is made of Nine Heavens Black Iron and Sun Gold. It is indestructible and can absorb my magic power, making it impossible for me to break free. Unless there is a divine weapon that counteracts it, it cannot be unlocked at all."
Li Wanji's heart sank after hearing this. Although she had heard of the name of the Light Shackles, she had never expected that this thing would be used on Zhongrong.
This artifact was made by the ancient god Di Jun, and was specifically used to restrain powerful gods and demons. Once locked, it is almost impossible to escape.
But the great god Di Jun has a long-standing relationship with the Jinwu clan. Why did he treat Senior Zhongrong like this?
Li Wanji was confused and immediately asked, "Senior, are the chains on your body set by the great god Di Jun?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Zhongrong's eyes, and his smiling eyes were instantly stained with anger: "That spineless old man, why did you mention him?"
Seeing Zhongrong's big reaction, Li Wanji knew there must be something hidden, so she asked tentatively: "Senior, is there any misunderstanding between you and the great god Dijun?"
"Misunderstanding? Humph, that old guy, in order to please the human race, actually used me as a bargaining chip and imprisoned me here. How shameful!" Zhong Rong said angrily, with a trace of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes.
"And my nine brothers were shot down by that villain Hou Yi and died! This hatred is irreconcilable!"
After hearing this, Li Wanji was shocked.
"So... God Dijun is your father?"
Zhong Rong snorted coldly: "That old guy is indeed related to me by blood, but he is not worthy of being called my father! For his own benefit, he can sacrifice anyone, including his own children."
Li Wanji was filled with sorrow. She never expected that this powerful person from the Jinwu clan would have such a tragic experience.
"Senior, since the great god Di Jun treats you like this, why don't you try to escape?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Escape? Humph, do you think I don't want to?" Zhong Rong smiled bitterly, "I just wanted to avenge my brothers, so I was ambushed by that old fellow Di Jun and trapped here."
"This divine shackle not only bound my body, but also sealed my magic power. Now, 80,000 years have passed, and I am still trapped here, unable to move."
After hearing this, Li Wanji couldn't help feeling regretful.
The Jinwu people have a long lifespan, which should be as long as the heaven and the earth, but no one expected that Zhong Rong would be trapped here and wasted 80,000 years.
If it weren't for Zhong Rong's ability, this world would have fallen into eternal darkness.
Li Wanji understood what Houyi and Di Jun did. After all, the Jinwu clan was too powerful at that time. If ten suns appeared in the same sky, everything would be burned and all lives would be lost.
But she also sympathized with Zhongrong's experience. He watched his brother die without being able to seek revenge, and was imprisoned for 80,000 years by his own biological father. How cruel was that?
After understanding the whole story, Li Wanji realized how naive her idea of helping Zhongrong out of trouble was.
Faced with this ancient artifact, the Light Shackles and Divine Cuffs, even if she tried her best, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Zhongrong is the only sun god in the world, and no one can afford to lose him.
Even if she really has a way to unlock the divine shackles of light, she must consider it carefully, because this is not only about saving Zhongrong, but also about the balance and peace of the entire world.
Li Wanji thought secretly, and although there were thousands of thoughts in her mind, she did not show any of them on her face.
What about the offspring born to Zhongrong?
Can it solve their current predicament without causing a catastrophe in the world?
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. If he could combine with an ancient god in the realm of Daozu, how extraordinary would the offspring born be?
Perhaps, this is not only an opportunity to rescue Senior Zhongrong, but also a glimmer of hope for the Xianling Continent and even the entire demon race!
"Little girl, what are you thinking about?" Zhong Rong keenly noticed the subtle change in Li Wanji's expression, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Could it be that you have already come up with an idea?"
Although he didn't think that this little girl could really help him, her appearance undoubtedly brought a bit of life to this dull scene.
For eighty thousand years, there has been no other sound in the Palace of the Sun God except the roar of fire and the hum of the void.
It would be nice if the woman could stay and chat with him to relieve his boredom.
"I……"
Li Wanji stared into Zhongrong's golden eyes, and the sudden thought in her mind became clearer and stronger.
But he is the supreme sun god, how can an ordinary woman dare to talk about marriage easily? This is not only a blasphemy against the gods, but also a great transgression of one's own identity.
