Chapter 1581: Red Fire New King

“I see in you a sense of responsibility that even those who have lived for tens of thousands of years lack. You, little girl, are remarkable. In my opinion, no one is more suited than you to inherit the power of the Crimson Fire lineage's Savior God. From today, you are the new monarch of this clan!”

Xu Yang's voice, accompanied by the surrounding golden halo, merged into the little girl's mind. Simultaneously, Xu Yang extended his other hand, unleashing an incredibly powerful devouring force from its palm. Vibrant Yin-Yang Taoist patterns, like the ceaseless flow of a mighty river, intricately wove within his palm. This immense devouring power completely enveloped the surface of the Crimson Fire clan's ancient divine power source before him, causing the inscription sealing the exit to the outside world to rapidly melt.

At the same time, as the core essence of the Crimson Fire inscription rapidly dissolved under Xu Yang's forceful manipulation, the spiritual energy of a Blazing Fire Savior God, sealed within the inscription, was forcibly revived.

Before them, a colossal fire being, entirely enveloped in endless flames, materialized in the void. As a manifestation of spiritual energy, it gazed directly at Xu Yang.

“Hahahahaha, I sense the aura of that old fellow Tai Jia within you! I imagine that countless eons ago, after the will of the Supreme God awakened, Tai Yi, the Diviner among the eighteen Guardian Savior Gods, calculated the grand destiny of the heavens, arriving at an outcome that astonished all the ancient gods. Now, it seems Tai Yi's deduction has been confirmed: indeed, after countless ages, a true monarch of immense human destiny will arrive, leading the ancient forces of the Kunlun lineage to overthrow the rule of the Supreme God's will! The true dawn for our future descendants is finally at hand.”

“Guardian Crimson Fire bows to the Great Monarch!”

As Xu Yang continued to devour and melt the sealing power before him, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

“To be honest, I have traversed the main continent for countless years, and this is the first time I've heard someone address me by such a title. Nonetheless, the appearance of this little girl among your Crimson Fire clan's descendants is a blessing for you. Now, I will transfer all your power into this girl, allowing her to represent the future of the Crimson Fire clan. You have no objection, do you?”

Crimson Fire burst into laughter: “My power was originally meant for you, Your Excellency, but Great Monarch, your strength far surpasses the limits of us old ones. Even if my power were transferred to you, Great Monarch, it would likely be of no use. Yet, you are so magnanimous as to bestow my power upon my descendants! This is surely the accumulated fortune of our Crimson Fire clan over generations. Thank you, Great Monarch, for making this possible!”

Xu Yang seemed rather disinclined to listen to such peculiar and flattering titles for himself, and quickly shook his head.

“You needn't thank me. If you truly wish for the Crimson Fire clan's future to unfold as you envision, then use your remaining power to protect this girl!" This was both Xu Yang's earnest wish and his command to the Crimson Fire Savior.

The other party respectfully bowed to Xu Yang with cupped fists, then fully transformed into endless, crimson fire-colored halos, which layered one by one, empowering the young princess before him. At her feet, each continually materializing halo represented an incredibly powerful force of crimson fire, deeply imprinted within the little girl's bloodline.

Xu Yang watched as the tenth, largest, and most dazzling Blazing Fire halo formed at the little princess's feet. In that instant, behind her, the totem of the ancient Crimson Fire God finally materialized.

Xu Yang revealed a satisfied smile, and simultaneously, with a gentle motion, completely withdrew the force of light he had forcibly imbued around the little girl's body.

He understood that as a future inheritor of the Crimson Fire clan, the moment the Crimson Fire totem appeared, it signified she had inherited the strongest power of this lineage's civilization.

Now, she was undeniably the strongest of the Crimson Fire clan.

Xu Yang's objective had been achieved. The sole exit before them, previously sealed by endless Crimson Fire inscriptions, now revealed a shimmering, hovering circular halo.

Behind this halo lay what appeared to be a passage leading to another illusory space within Kunlun Mountain.

The young princess slowly regained her self-awareness.

When she felt the boundless Crimson Fire power surging within her, she suddenly understood everything.

“Your Excellency Xu Yang! You…”

Xu Yang gently waved his hand, interrupting the young princess.

“I told you I would make you the true inheritor of the Crimson Fire clan! You will no longer face any so-called clan sanctions, because now, no one in the Crimson Fire clan would dare to sanction you.”

After speaking, Xu Yang prompted the young girl to attempt mobilizing the power within her.

The moment the ten full Crimson Fire halos at her feet simultaneously shone, the totem of the Crimson Fire Savior God behind her let out an earth-shattering roar.

At this moment, the old figures who had been in seclusion also seemed to sense something. One by one, they forcibly broke out, immediately controlling their inheritance formations to appear before Xu Yang and the young princess.

Seeing the elders before her, especially the white-haired patriarch of the Crimson Fire clan leading them, the young girl was immediately deeply moved.

“Grandpa, why are you out here?”

The old man and the surrounding patriarchs were initially stunned. Then, instead of the expected thunderous wrath and punishment towards the young girl, they all immediately dropped to one knee before her.

“Grandpa, what are you doing? Uncles, please rise immediately, this is not proper!”

This time, however, the white-haired elder burst into laughter.

Inadvertently, he revealed the nine halos at his feet.

“Do you understand, child? Since the end of the ancient era of Old Gods, our Crimson Fire clan has never produced an inheritor who has fully mastered the power of Crimson Fire! Even your grandfather, who possessed the greatest talent in ten thousand years, only managed to cultivate the ninth Crimson Fire halo. But you have broken this limit; now you are the true leader of our Crimson Fire clan. We bow to you, Leader!”

The several great elders beside him simultaneously placed one hand on their chests, prostrating themselves before the young princess with the highest clan etiquette.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the girl was somewhat flustered and instinctively hid beside Xu Yang, casting him a pleading gaze.

Xu Yang smiled, gently patting her head, and lightly waved his hand at the elders before him.

“There's no need for such formality. The seal on this teleportation channel no longer exists. The young princess will represent the will of your Crimson Fire clan, accompanying us to conquer the six human-spirit lineages of Kunlun Mountain. As for you elders, there's no need for you to accompany us. This young girl alone can represent your entire Crimson Fire clan and the glory of the Blazing Fire lineage of the eighteen ancient gods.”

Upon hearing Xu Yang's words, the elders initially considered objecting, but they were well aware of Xu Yang's true nature, and their words would carry no weight.

The leading elder sighed softly and could only nod in agreement.

“We understand perfectly. The Leader's fortune is entirely due to your assistance; this must be destiny. Since this sealed passage has reopened, it means our Blazing Fire clan is no longer bound by the will of the Supreme God. Your beast army can now pass through here to the higher illusory spaces of Kunlun Mountain. However, I must warn you that Kunlun Mountain contains countless illusory spaces. The closer you are to the base of the mountain, the weaker the strength of the space and the civilizations it represents. Conversely, the higher you ascend, the more formidable the enemies you will face! Whether you can successfully reach the peak of Kunlun later depends on your own fortune. However, we hope Your Excellency will take good care of our Leader; after all, she is the Crimson Fire lineage's sole and strongest successor.”

Xu Yang nodded gently. “Of course,” he said. “I have high hopes for this young girl; her future is limitless!”
