Fall: Rebirth

"This sounds too dangerous! But it's also so magical! It's the same fire, but there are so many completely different aspects." Yan Luo's voice was as soft as the flapping of mosquito wings, but it was mixed with a bit of surprise that was hard to conceal.

She gently blinked her clear eyes, her gaze wandering, as if she was pondering deep in her mind the various wonderful properties of this mysterious flame.

Looking at Yan Luo's shocked and dumbfounded expression, Chu Heng first lowered his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought after a moment of silence. Then, he raised his eyes again and cast his gaze at Ye You beside him, and asked anxiously: "God, I wonder if there are other special flames besides this?"

As he said this, a raging fire of thirst for knowledge burned in Chu Heng's eyes, hot and bright. His heart was filled with desire and expectation for knowledge, and he eagerly hoped to obtain more valuable information about fire from Ye You.

Ye You narrowed her eyes slightly, and a mysterious light flashed across them instantly. Then she opened her red lips and answered slowly in a voice that was so soft that it sounded like a breeze: "Ghost Fire of the Netherworld."

As soon as these words came out of their mouths, it was like a gust of cold wind suddenly swept around, and everyone shivered involuntarily.

The sound seemed to come from the deepest part of the abyss and extremely dark Nine Nether Hell, mixed with faint traces of creepy chill, just like the low, sobbing sound made by the ghost fire swaying slowly in the underworld.

"Ghost Fire?" The children's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock and fear, and they screamed shrilly in unison.

They stared at each other in panic, each of them with an expression full of disbelief and deep surprise. They exchanged glances hurriedly and confusedly, with irrepressible curiosity and endless confusion flashing in their eyes.

"Ghost Fire of the Netherworld?" Yan Luo seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and couldn't help but whisper this name full of mystery and horror once again.

At this moment, a thrilling and horrifying scene came at her like a surging tide - it was a strange flame from the depths of the netherworld, burning fiercely as if it was going to swallow up the whole world. Every flame exuded a strange, eerie and terrifying aura, which was like countless cold poisonous snakes, wandering in the air wantonly, and everywhere it passed was filled with the smell of death and despair.

Just by imagining this scene in her mind, Yan Luo was already filled with fear, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She shook her head with all her might, trying to get rid of the extremely uncomfortable feeling as if thousands of ants were biting her skin at the same time.

At the same time, Ye You stood quietly aside. She nodded slightly, her movements as gentle as a feather falling in the breeze, silent but with an indescribable elegance.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze and everything around them became blurred. Only the ghost fire left a deep mark in their hearts.

Ye You's eyes were like stars hidden in the endless darkness, emitting a mysterious and frightening light. He said slowly, "The ghost fire of the underworld is a strange fire from the underworld. It has an unimaginable powerful mental control power and can easily invade and manipulate the will of other creatures. It is like an invisible ghost, spreading silently under the dark night, eroding the target's consciousness bit by bit until it is completely devoured.

The color of this fire is very strange, showing a touch of dark green, like the eyes of a ghost flashing a cold and eerie light. The resentment and evil spirit contained in it are extremely strong. Even if there is nothing around to burn, it can still ignite a raging flame out of thin air with its own power. Moreover, when it burns, it will also emit bursts of extremely miserable cries, as if the tortured souls in the underworld are wailing in pain. This cry is so captivating that it is enough to burn the soul. Even if the body is intact, the soul will be severely damaged and even turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth. Only those with a clear mind and no distractions can resist its terrifying corrosive power. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye You's seemingly bottomless eyes, like two rays of mysterious light, slowly withdrew from the illusory, blurry and boundless void.

The group of children standing nearby felt as if they were suddenly struck by a biting cold wind. Their entire bodies felt cold, their hairs stood on end, and their bodies began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. They shivered violently.

The chilling and terrifying raging flames kept appearing in their minds. The fire was as strange and hideous as a ghost, making their hearts completely overwhelmed by boundless fear in an instant, as if the terrifying flames had been deeply engraved in the depths of their souls and were burning in an extremely violent manner.

"What kind of strange and bizarre fire is this?" Hill opened her pink and tender cherry lips and muttered softly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.

"That's right! How can there be so many strange flames that have never been heard of before?" Chu Heng also frowned slightly, and then immediately responded. His eyes were full of suspicion and confusion, and he seemed to be deeply troubled and shocked by what he saw.

However, although Ling Han's heart was filled with endless curiosity as if being gnawed by thousands of ants, he was like a quiet and deep lake, without any waves, just quietly listening to everyone's discussions. From beginning to end, he kept his lips tightly closed and did not say a word.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced the ruthless indifference and exclusion of his stepmother since childhood, and lost the innocence that should belong to a child too early, which shaped his calm and introverted temperament today. Although his personality has become much more cheerful and lively compared to the past, when facing the elders, he still seems to be more well-behaved and sensible than other children of the same age.

Yan Luo, who was standing by, keenly caught Ling Han's indecisive expression, as he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. In an instant, she understood what he was thinking in his heart.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible look of pity flashed across her eyes, which were as clear and charming as autumn water.

Then, her body seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, and she couldn't help but slowly approach Ling Han. Then she gently raised her hand and carefully held Ling Han's arm, as if she was carefully protecting a rare treasure.

Ling Han had never thought that Yan Luo would actually do such a thing. It was like a bolt of lightning from the blue that suddenly struck him, shocking him completely.

He raised his head slowly, bewildered, and his astonished eyes happened to collide with Yan Luo's gaze. At this moment, Ling Han clearly saw the smile on Yan Luo's face, just like the warm sunshine in the bright spring, warm and intimate, as if it had a magical power that could easily melt away all the coldness and hardness in the world.

This charming smile seemed to contain some profound meaning, like a silent oath, quietly telling Ling Han: "Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side unwaveringly."

In the blink of an eye, Ling Han suddenly felt a hot torrent surging up to his heart like a surging river, making him experience an unprecedented comfort and peace, so much so that even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, outlining a faint smile.

Ling Han thought to himself: Perhaps, this is the power of family affection?

At this moment, Ye You was staring silently at the various expressions and reactions of the children in front of him, and his heart was filled with endless helplessness.

When she saw Yan Luo's intimate behavior towards Ling Han, she shook her head gently, and a faint smile appeared on her usually serious and rigid face for the first time, like a ray of spring breeze in the cold winter.

Then, Ye You spoke again: "Behind every unique flame, there is actually a unique and little-known mysterious secret, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. You must remember that flames also have the difference between good and evil."

When the children heard this, they nodded obediently, like obedient little lambs.

At this time, Hill frowned slightly, looked at Ye You with a serious expression, and asked: "God, this Netherworld Ghost Fire and your Nine Netherworld Fire both come from the underworld, so what is the difference between them?"

Hill's question made everyone look at Ye You curiously, waiting quietly for the answer.

Ye You smiled faintly and explained patiently: "Although the Nine Netherworld Fire and the Netherworld Ghost Fire both belong to the fire of the underworld, there is actually an essential difference. The Nine Netherworld Fire is the flame of hell, with endless power, and can burn everything; while the Netherworld Ghost Fire is just a phantom of vengeful spirits, and its power is not enough to be compared with the Nine Netherworld Fire."

After hearing this, Hill suddenly understood the reason: "So that's how it is!"

At the same time, a look of realization flashed across the faces of Chu Heng and Ling Han.

However, only Yan Luo, whose entire mind was focused on Chu Heng, when he saw the look on Chu Heng's face, a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

"Your Majesty, the next time we go to Youdu, where should we go to witness this strange fire?" Chu Heng's face was full of thirst for knowledge. He stared at Ye You with burning eyes and asked.

"Haven't you heard what the God said about the extremely dangerous things? Have you gone crazy?" Hill looked at Chu Heng's expression at this moment and couldn't help but scold him in a bad mood.

"What Xier said makes sense. I don't know what you are thinking about either." Ling Han also glanced at Chu Heng in an unpleasant manner, thinking to himself: I was kind enough to get information from the master for you, but I didn't expect that you would actually try to spy on such a dangerous thing.

Facing the displeased looks of Ling Han and Xi'er, Chu Heng immediately curled his lips and responded, "Why should we be afraid? Netherworld is a territory governed by the God. I am just naturally curious."

Ye You's eyes swept over Chu Heng, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "The ghost fire of the netherworld usually appears in the dark places of the netherworld, or in places with extremely heavy yin energy."

Ye You paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and continued, "Although this place is within the domain of this deity, this deity does not recommend that you try to step into this dangerous place lightly. You should know that your current cultivation is still shallow, and it is really difficult to deal with various possible crises. Who can ensure that it will be such a coincidence every time that this deity happens to be here?"

"But..." Chu Heng opened his lips slightly and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly, as if his throat was suddenly strangled by an invisible force, his words were abruptly interrupted by Ye You.

At this moment, Ye You's face, which was originally as calm as a peaceful lake, suddenly became cloudy, as if it had been hit by a sudden storm. Her eyes were like an extremely sharp blade, so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce directly into the depths of a person's soul.

Then, she scolded in an unprecedented serious tone, "There is absolutely no room for negotiation! You must clearly realize that the most urgent task at hand is to do everything you can to improve your own strength! You must not be careless or act rashly, and blindly rush into places that are full of countless variables and hidden huge risks to seek excitement and adventure."

Hearing this, Chu Heng and Ling Han could not help but exchange glances. Although they were unwilling, they both knew deep down that Ye You's words were indeed good advice.

Therefore, Chu Heng slowly lowered his head and muttered to himself in a low voice: "God, I was indeed too impulsive and impetuous just now, and failed to think carefully and thoroughly."

Seeing this, Ye You's tense expression relaxed a little, and he answered directly, "That's it."

Although the words were brief and concise, they revealed his approval of Chu Heng's attitude of admitting his mistakes.

But then, she seemed to have thought of something important, and suddenly spoke again: "However, if one day in the future, when you have enough power, you might as well try to find the whereabouts of the Netherworld Will-O-Wisp. But before that, you must make sure that you have enough self-protection ability."

There was a hint of encouragement in Ye You's last words.

After hearing this, Chu Heng and the others all had a bright light flashing in their eyes, and they nodded vigorously, indicating that they had completely understood Ye You's meaning.
