Fall: Rebirth

After feeling that Qinglong's injuries had completely healed, Qingli slowly withdrew her divine power. She gently said to Qinglong: "Your injuries have healed. Don't try to escape again. You should know that I have never seen anyone escape from the hands of the god of death. If you get injured again, I don't have the extra divine power to heal you."

After saying that, Qingli slowly turned around, took two steps forward, and came to Yeyou's side. Her eyes gently swept around, taking in the destruction caused by the fight between the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon. Finally, her eyes stopped at the Nine Netherworld Fire that was still burning on the water.

"Why don't you take back your Nine Netherworld Fire?" Qingli asked softly, his eyes fixed on the burning Nine Netherworld Fire.

The clear voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in this quiet environment, like a breeze blowing gently into Qinglong's ears.

"Nine Netherworld Fire?" Qinglong was slightly shocked, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

He slowly stood up from the ground. His steps were a little unsteady, but he still tried to steady his body. He stared straight at the blazing flames on the water, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

Ye You turned her head slightly, with a disdainful smile on her face. She was not in a hurry, gently stretched out her hand, moved her fingers, and saw that the sea of ​​fire was quickly retracted into her hand as if it was controlled by an invisible big hand, leaving only a small ball of dark purple flame, like a dazzling gem, flashing a mysterious and attractive light.

"Is this the Nine Netherworld Fire?" Qinglong couldn't help but whisper again, his eyes wide open, full of curiosity and confusion. He seemed to want to reach out and touch the flame, but he was afraid of its power and didn't dare to try it easily.

Qinglong couldn't help but turn his head slightly at this moment, his eyes fell on Yeyou's profile, and he thought to himself: someone who can control such a powerful Nine Netherworld Fire must be the God of Death. And the woman in white who healed him just now actually called herself "the deity", so she must be the legendary God of Life.

Ye You glanced at Qing Long lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. Then, he handed the small ball of fire in his hand to Qing Long, and asked in a provocative tone: "Do you want to feel it again?"

Qinglong was so frightened that his face turned pale. His body involuntarily retreated backwards, and at the same time, his hands were waving wildly, and he stammered, "No... no need! God, your Nine Netherworld Fire is too powerful! I was almost boiled in the water just now!"

Ye You snorted coldly and slowly clenched his fist. In an instant, the terrifying Nine Netherworld Fire disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Qinglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that he reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Qinglong's gaze inadvertently fell on Zhuniao, and Zhuniao was also looking at him.

The two men's eyes met in the air, and in an instant, strong hostility appeared in their eyes.

Ye You raised his head slightly, glanced at them calmly, and said softly: "If you still want to continue fighting, it's best to fight until you are reduced to ashes. Otherwise, when you come to my Netherworld, you will not be able to escape the torture of the Nine Netherworld Fire."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong and Zhuniao quickly turned their heads and looked at each other. The angry looks in their eyes immediately disappeared.

Ye You quietly watched the two people in front of him who suddenly became docile. Without saying anything more, he gently hooked his fingers and untied the restraints on Zhuniao.

Qingli looked at the two guys who had calmed down instantly and shook her head helplessly. Then, she gently waved her palm, and a powerful divine power quickly swept in all directions like a surging tide.

In the blink of an eye, the items that were damaged in the fierce battle between Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon were miraculously restored to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

Zhuniao and Qinglong opened their eyes wide, staring blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes, their hearts filled with shock.

Zhuniao couldn't help but screamed: "Is this the power of the God of Life? It's incredible!"

Qinglong also echoed: "Yeah, this is amazing, isn't it?"

They had never thought that Qingli's strength was so strong that with just a simple move, he could restore everything to its original state. This was simply a magical skill.

Ye You asked indifferently, "Okay, both of you, stop being surprised. Now, you must make a choice. Do you want to follow me back to the God Realm and do things for me, or do you want to settle today's account?"

Qinglong looked at Ye You seriously and asked cautiously: "God, do we have to choose? Can you think about it again..."

Ye You's voice became even colder, without a trace of warmth: "Choose one of the two, no negotiation." Her eyes revealed a firm and unquestionable attitude that made people dare not disobey easily.

"Needless to say, he must be working for the God." Qinglong answered unconfidently, avoiding eyes.

"Look at how cowardly you are." Zhuniao glanced at Qinglong unhappily, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and complained.

After hearing what Zhuniao said, Qinglong's face instantly turned gloomy. He rolled his eyes at Zhuniao and said, "You are just arrogant."

Zhuniao snorted unhappily, crossed his arms over his chest and raised his face slightly, his eyes full of disdain.

Seeing this, Qinglong muttered unhappily, "I don't know why you're so proud. You didn't seem to have any advantage in the fight."

Zhuniao slowly turned his face and said bluntly: "How dare you say that? I've already fought a group of monsters and my physical strength has been depleted a lot. You can't even beat me. I don't know what you are so proud of?"

"I..." Qinglong stared at Zhuniao reluctantly, and suddenly became speechless, his face flushed red.

"What do you mean?" Zhuniao looked at Qinglong unhappily, and couldn't help but take a step forward and continued, "Besides, I didn't provoke you, so you just attacked me right away."

"How dare you say that?" Qinglong sneered, then frowned slightly and said, "I was sleeping soundly in the water. If you hadn't disturbed my sweet dream, would I have come out?"

Zhuniao snorted: "It was clearly the one who hid in the water on its own, and it blames me."

Qinglong's eyes widened and he said, "If you don't hit it, will it hide in the water?"

"I hit you, what can you do about it?" Zhuniao raised his chin and looked at Qinglong provocatively.

"You..." Qinglong gritted his teeth in anger, but he could do nothing but glare at Zhuniao fiercely.

Ye You watched them quarrel and interrupted impatiently: "Okay, if you guys keep quarreling, don't blame me for being rude."

After hearing Ye You's words, Zhuniao and Qinglong were so scared that they quickly closed their mouths and dared not make any sound anymore.

Ye You turned around, staring at Zhu Niao with sharp eyes, and asked expressionlessly: "So, Zhu Niao, what are you going to choose?"

When Zhu Niao was looked at by Ye You in this way, she unconsciously lowered her hands that she had crossed over her chest, and the arrogant expression she had just had disappeared.

Qinglong couldn't help but sneer. He was secretly proud of himself, thinking that it was Zhuniao's turn to be unlucky. He stared at Zhuniao with a look of watching a good show, as if to say, "Let's see, how arrogant can you be now?"

"Zhu Niao, you have to think carefully. If you stay here, you will be a demon beast for the rest of your life. But if you return to the God Realm with us, you will be a divine beast!" Qing Li was worried that Zhu Niao would not know what was good for him and would anger Ye You again, so she kindly reminded him. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Zhuniao lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again, with a firm light in his eyes, and looked directly at Ye You, and replied solemnly: "God, I am willing to follow you back to the God Realm."

Qinglong sneered at this moment, looked at Zhuniao unhappily, with a slight smile on his face, and couldn't help but mocking: "I thought you were so arrogant, but it turns out you are just so-so." Zhuniao couldn't help but retort: ​​"I'm not a fool. I can't beat you, so what if I join? Anyway, I'm not like you, looking so cowardly." After that, Zhuniao once again looked up and down at Qinglong with disdain.

Qinglong was immediately angry when he heard Zhuniao's words, but when he saw the cold expression on Yeyou's face, he didn't dare to act rashly. He cursed in his heart: "Damn Zhuniao, wait until my strength increases, and see how I will deal with you!" But he didn't dare to show it on the surface, so he had to swallow his anger.

So, he suddenly had an idea, took a step forward, held Qingli's arm with both hands, and said in a coquettish voice, "God, look at this bird, it's so fierce."

Qingli smiled and patted Qinglong's hand, comforting him: "Okay, from now on you are companions, you must support each other."

Zhuniao rolled his eyes and thought: He is really good at pretending.

Ye You looked at them, with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

"Okay, now is not the time to bicker. We still have a mission to accomplish." Ye You suddenly retracted his smile, spoke lightly, and after he finished speaking, he walked straight forward.

Qingli turned her head and glanced at Zhuniao and Qinglong, then slowly stretched out her hand, and suddenly, the Qiankun Ding slowly appeared in her hand.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. There is a companion of yours in here. If you behave yourself, you can still jump around outside. If you disobey and make the God of Death unhappy, then you can't blame me." Qingli said softly, then slowly retracted the Qiankun Ding, turned around and followed Yeyou's steps.

Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon looked at each other, and although somewhat reluctantly, they had no choice but to follow.

Their figures gradually disappeared in the distance, leaving behind a peaceful forest.

Zhuniao and Qinglong followed Yeyou and Qingli into a mysterious forest.

The forest was filled with thick fog, making it feel eerie and strange.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and the branches rustled.

Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon looked around vigilantly, always feeling that a pair of eyes were watching them secretly.

"There's something wrong with this place." Qinglong said to Zhuniao in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Zhuniao shouted.

After Ye You and Qing Li heard the conversation between Zhu Niao and Qing Long, they first looked around vigilantly, then couldn't help but look at each other and communicated using the sound transmission technique.

"These two guys are quite strong and we can handle them." Qingli said to Yeyou using the sound transmission technique.

"That's good too. It saves me from having to take action." Ye You responded indifferently using the sound transmission technique.

The four continued to move forward, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow swooped down from the tree and rushed straight towards the Red Bird.

Zhuniao dodged sideways nimbly, pulled out a feather and turned it into a sword, stabbing at the black shadow.

However, the black shadow easily avoided the attack and turned to pounce on Qinglong.

The Azure Dragon roared angrily and a ball of fire spewed out of its mouth, illuminating the surrounding space.

The black shadow was forced back by the flames, revealing its true face - a gigantic black bat.

Zhuniao took the opportunity to fly up. Now in human form, she revealed a pair of wings. When her wings flapped, a whirlwind was created, which swept the bat in.

The bats struggled in the wind, making sharp cries.

Yeyou and Qingli watched the battle between Zhuniao and Qinglong and the bats quietly without offering any help. They believed that these two guys could handle the crisis at hand.

After a few moves, Zhuniao finally found the bat's weakness and pierced its heart with a sword.

The bat screamed and fell to the ground.

Zhuniao and Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yeyou and Qingli with a hint of pride in their eyes.

"Good performance." Ye You said lightly.

"Of course!" Zhuniao raised his head proudly.

"Just because I praise you, you're really showing off?" Qinglong looked at Zhuniao unhappily and said.

Zhuniao gave Qinglong a displeased look and was too lazy to say anything more.

"When did this kind of little beast appear in this zoo?" Qingli frowned slightly and asked lightly.

Zhuniao glanced at Qingli and replied calmly, "When I first came here, there were only some monsters captured by the ancestor gods. Later, I don't know when, they began to reproduce and give rise to other species."

"Yes, she is right. It is the same in my water." Qinglong echoed.

"That's really magical." Qingli said with a faint smile on his lips.

"What's so magical about it? Doesn't your divine beast study clay dolls all day long? Those clay dolls also have life." Ye You said lightly, as if he was no longer surprised.

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell into silence.

"Okay, let's keep moving forward." After a moment, Ye You said lightly.

"Your Majesty, what exactly are we going to do?" Qinglong asked curiously.

After hearing Qinglong's words, Zhuniao looked at Yeyou curiously, as if waiting for her answer.

"Looking for a monster as powerful as you." Ye You answered indifferently and walked forward without looking back.

"The strength is the same as ours..." Qinglong was confused, and then suddenly his eyes glowed and he chased after them, still shouting: "Does the God mean to admit that we are very strong?"

Qingli looked at Qinglong's back, couldn't help but chuckle, and followed him.

"This dragon is so boring." Zhuniao complained and immediately followed suit.
