Unexpectedly, the true form of the Venom God in the claws of the Bone Dragon was that of an infant, its crescent moon birthmark on the forehead glowing with an ominous light—this was the first generation heir of the Southern Liang Saintess. The National Master cut open his wrist and fed Heiyue to the Venom God, saying, "The scheme of three hundred years is finally coming to fruition at this moment."
I touched my Heart and Lan Wen, realizing that my bloodline was being assimilated by the Venom God. Suddenly, Chu Hengdi erupted in fury, his decayed body lunging at the National Master. "How dare you!" he shouted, only to be instantly frozen into an Ice Sculpture by the Bone Dragon's breath, shattering into powder.
"Your Highness, it is time to take your rightful place," the National Master said gently, his tone sending chills down my spine. He lifted his robe to reveal a butterfly-shaped birthmark on his Heart that was identical to mine—this was the unique Burning Heart Seal of the Southern Liang Royal Family.
Memories thundered in my mind: the Young Shadow Guard who infiltrated the Cold Palace during Yongchang First Year, revealing their birthmark while teaching me to identify poisons; the masked figure at the Previous Life Execution Ground whose robe was pulled aside, showing a fleeting glimpse of that mark...
"You have been a pawn of the Southern Liang Kingdom from the very beginning?" The Dragon-Slaying Sword let out a mournful cry as its blade reflected my increasingly beastly visage. The National Master chuckled lightly, "You willingly drank the rebirth Venom, Princess. After all, to deceive Chu Hengdi, one must play their part convincingly."
The infant Venom God suddenly cried out, its wails shattering half of the imperial city. The citizens, just awakening from their stupor, once again fell into a daze as they mechanically approached the Bone Dragon, tearing off their own ribs as offerings. I tried to spread my wings to stop them, but my Butterfly Wings were ensnared by invisible threads of fate—each thread connected to choices made in my past life.
"Did you think rebirth meant defying destiny?" The National Master manipulated the threads of fate. "From the moment you accepted the Bloodline of Venom King, you were destined to become the vessel for the Venom God's descent." He flicked his fingers, and suddenly Lan Wen on my wrist grew violently; beneath my skin, the outline of Jin Chan bulged.
Pei Huai Jin's lingering soul suddenly solidified as he grasped a thread of fate and pulled hard. "Your Highness, sever the Umbilical Cord!" A sharp pain shot from my navel; I realized that at some point it had been connected by a bloody Umbilical Cord that extended into the body of the Venom God.
I thrust down with my sword; as the Dragon-Slaying Sword struck towards the Umbilical Cord, time and space froze. I finally saw the true scene from three hundred years ago: a saintess kneeling and pleading with a newborn in her arms, only to have her Burning Heart Bone cruelly extracted. When that infant was taken away by assassins from Southern Liang Kingdom, I saw how the Umbilical Cord automatically reconnected to a comatose Murong Chong...
"The Venom God must be nurtured with kin blood," came the National Master's voice as if echoing from Jiuyou. "The enemy you thought you had is truly your..."
The sword's momentum could not be halted. At the moment of severing the Umbilical Cord, the Venom God let out a joyful cry; all of my Lan Wen flowed into its body. A blood-red pillar of light erupted from beneath the imperial city as cries of infants echoed from seventy-two cities—all newborns' Hearts bore crescent moon birthmarks.
Pei Huai Jin used his last bit of power to push me away from the threads of fate. "Go to Bing Yuan... sever it..." His lingering soul dissipated into stardust; each speck reflected truths beneath Bing Yuan where the true body of the saintess lay asleep, her heart still beating.
The Bone Dragon soared towards Southern Liang Kingdom with the Venom God aboard while the National Master's laughter echoed through the ruins: "Once the Venom God absorbs the fortunes of thirty-six nations, you will understand what it means..." Suddenly an ice shard pierced his chest; Chu Tiankuo emerged from Shadow, holding my familiar Chilong Seal.
"Elder Sister, shall we cooperate?" he asked as he crushed the seal to reveal a hidden phoenix feather. "I know where the last feather of Burning Heart Butterfly is."
I coldly watched as Chu Tiankuo stepped closer like someone emerging from an Abyss and nodded: “Alright!”
