With the appearance of this flame, the dark space became brighter and warmer, and even my heart couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. It was the instinctive desire for light in life.
My consciousness moved closer almost instinctively. As the distance got closer and closer, the flame shone on my body, giving me a warm feeling. I suddenly felt the fire of my soul surging, and the fire that had just faded away.
Consciousness also became clear.
Finally, I made the right bet!
Just like the inherited memory of Phoenix Bird, as the inheritor of Phoenix Bird, I now basically have the complete memory of Phoenix Bird, so I know everything about Phoenix Bird.
Among them, the biggest benefit does not come from the magic of the Fengniao family. Whether it is the Phoenix spell or the control of flames, they are not the ultimate talent, because Fengniao's real talent is nirvana.
The phoenix bird can be reborn from the fire.
Although, I still can't understand the mystery of it. Even before that, I had always doubted whether the Phoenix Bird's Nirvana was a legend. It wasn't until I received the inheritance that I truly believed that all of this was true.
The phoenix bird is the only life in this world that relies on fire to be reborn.
But it is not that easy to completely inherit its talent, because I need to pay a heavy price, death or infinitely close to death. This is the true meaning of nirvana and rebirth.
It was precisely because I understood all this that I took the crazy action before, so I was making a good bet with my own life.
If I win the bet, I will receive unimaginable huge benefits.
But if I lose the bet, I still have one final bet, which is the unchanging blood that has been hidden in my back molars. Although I can't predict the consequences, I also have no way out.
In the darkness, I kept getting closer to the flame, and the light became brighter and brighter, and my spirit became more inspired.
Until I got close to the flame, my consciousness suddenly became extremely clear, but my eyes were all red. As the flame kept jumping up and down, I vaguely seemed to see a faint light in the flame.
Shadows dance continuously with the flames.
This was my first close observation, and it was also the first time I saw the shadow in the flames. Although it was still very hazy, I was sure it was what a phoenix bird looked like.
"You're here!" a familiar voice rang.
I quickly bowed and saluted, "I've met Senior Fengniao."
The flame beat gently, but no sound came out. I bowed my body slightly and waited patiently.
After a while, a long sigh sounded.
"Too weak, you are really too weak!"
I sighed slightly and then became sweaty.
I couldn't help but recall the scenes I had seen in my mind. Compared to the phoenix bird that once fluttered its wings casually and burned the world and destroyed the earth, I was really weak.
"It's not easy for you to gain my power."
"What should I do?" I asked quickly.
"How?..." Fengniao paused slightly and let out a contemptuous laugh, "No matter what you do, you can't gain my power."
A basin of cold water was poured down on Duotou.
"Why?"
I suddenly felt a little panicked, because this was different from what I imagined. Didn't I already have the Phoenix Bird inheritance? Don't you want me to gain his power?
This idea appeared in my mind, and I realized that I had never really thought about this problem.
"Can't you understand such a simple truth? I am a god born in the fire. You are indeed a completely different human being from me. You have been born with a mortal body and have only lived for a few hundred years. Although you have similar blood flowing in your body,
It's just a hint of the same breath, but it can't make you become me. Life is insurmountable. This is the eternal truth."
Fengniao's words were calm and natural, very easy to understand, but they made me completely give up in an instant.
Yes, I am really stupid. Fortunately, I have been imagining that I can have the same abilities as a phoenix, but I have ignored this essential problem. We are two completely different life forms, just like ants can never
Become an elephant.
At this moment, despair that I had never experienced before flooded me like a tide. I felt that my consciousness collapsed. At that moment, the world became dark again, and everything was moving away from me.
It turned out that I lost this bet. The biggest battle in my heart turned into a cold joke in the end.
Without this last support, I know what the end is waiting for me. Even if I won't die this time, there is no possibility for me to turn around.
Because I can't beat Zhang Tianqi, let alone Fu Gu. They are like two mountains that I can never climb. Even if I have talent, even if God helps me, I have no time...
…
I am not afraid of death, and I even think that it would be good to die like this. It will be over once and for all, and I will no longer have any worries...
"Haha... I have recognized myself!" Fengniao's voice sounded again, but it became blurry in my consciousness.
However, I am really unwilling to do so!
At the last moment when my consciousness disappeared, I roared loudly with all my strength.
The phoenix bird's voice never sounded again. It just stared at all this in a daze, without talking to me or taking any action to save me. Everything seemed to have nothing to do with it.
Why!
It seems that I, Zhang Jiuyang, have really stopped here for a long time!
Then I lost consciousness.
There is only darkness, endless darkness.
When people die, they become ghosts, and when ghosts die, they become ghosts...
I don't know if I am dead or if my soul has truly died. I only know that the flame in the darkness has also been extinguished.
But I don’t know why, but in the haziness, I seemed to hear a voice whispering softly.
"Soon, soon..."
"Life... comes out of nothing,... my fall,... rebirth..."
The sound became increasingly blurry until I couldn't hear it anymore.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took, it was like sleeping for an endless time, until I felt a touch of warmth, and that familiar feeling came back.
"puff……"
There was another crisp sound, which was the sound of the flame being ignited. It was gentle and had no extra power.
But just this sound, like thunder from the sky, exploded within my soul, causing my originally scattered consciousness to condense together as quickly as the torrent of time.
The next moment, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw the world again.
The world is still dark, and the extinguished flame will burn again without knowing when, like a candle, it will be extinguished at any time.
But even this faint light exudes power in the darkness.
I tried calling the phoenix bird, but got no response.
"I know you are still here because you are immortal!"
Still no answer.
This time, I don't know if it was after experiencing a death, but my heart was extremely peaceful because I had accepted it all.
"Send me out, I don't want to die here yet." I said calmly.
"boom……"
A burst of flame suddenly exploded, ten times and more than a hundred times larger than before, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the flames suddenly spread out, and the whole world was no longer dark.
It was only at this moment that I suddenly discovered that the flames that originally belonged to the phoenix bird disappeared. In the boundless flames, a figure suddenly stood up slowly.
He dealt with this boundless sea of fire like a spirit of flame.
He looked at the flames around him and was stunned for a long time, until he heard his own voice calling out a name, Zhang Jiuyang.
And that name is my name.
And the person who called out the name seemed to be myself.
At this moment, countless self-realizations appeared in my mind.
The intermittent sound also appeared and reorganized in my mind. It was the murmur of the phoenix bird.
Everything is clear!
I, Zhang Jiuyang, am back again.
I died in darkness and was reborn in flames!
I don’t have a body that can achieve nirvana and be reborn.
