Sea of Fire roiled, flames scorching the sky, as a strange red lotus seemed to take root within the Magma, swaying gracefully with each bursting Magma bubble.
In this Magma Sea of Fire, the presence of this red lotus was not alone; deep within the Magma, shadows of numerous terrifying beasts with formidable powers lurked. Yet, no matter how powerful these mysterious and fearsome creatures were, they seemed to hold a deep reverence for the red lotus, as if their very existence was meant to protect it.
"Protect me?" A peculiar wave of consciousness suddenly emanated from within the lotus. At that moment, the depths of the Magma churned violently, and countless terrifying creatures roared as if in worship, creating echoes that resonated through the air.
"Where is this? Why am I here? Why does everything feel so familiar, as if it were my own home?"
A series of questions arose in Bu Xin, who felt as though he had fallen into a dream. However, unlike a dream, everything here felt too real—so real that it seemed he had personally experienced it, yet there was an underlying strangeness, as if he existed in someone else's dream while they existed in his.
"A seed from beyond the realm, giving birth to a red lotus within; it takes a thousand years to sprout and ten thousand years to bloom. The Sea of Fire wafts its fragrance, enticing all beings to greedily pluck its flowers. Fury ignites the earth, suffering divine punishment."
Scenes flashed through Bu Xin's mind like pages turning in a book. These images felt familiar, and as he continued to observe them, a sense of hatred began to grow within him. More than that, however, was an inexplicable sorrow rising from deep within his heart.
At this moment, Bu Xin had awakened or perhaps successfully endured the invasion of the Crimson Lotus Spirit's Soul Fragments. Amidst the relentless onslaught of these Soul Fragments, many fragmented and chaotic memories merged into his mind—memories that recorded the life of the red lotus.
The red lotus originated from beyond the realm; it was once just a seed. However, upon arriving at the Fran Continent, it was engulfed by Magma, and volcanic eruptions occurred in this apocalyptic environment. After a thousand years of sprouting and ten thousand years of blooming, it finally developed a semblance of consciousness and became an Earth Spirit.
A strange red lotus transformed into a spirit beast after ten thousand years—a phenomenon that naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings.
The lotus is pure and unsullied by mud; it does not mingle with worldly filth. Though the Eternal Red Lotus has transformed into a spirit beast, it remains auspicious. Unfortunately, while tigers may not intend harm, humans harbor malicious hearts.
Human greed knows no bounds; if one could obtain the Demon Spirit Crimson Lotus and refine it through alchemy into elixirs, they could aspire to reach higher realms and touch immortality. Faced with such immense benefits, few can resist temptation and remain calm. The Fran Continent erupted with fervor as tens of thousands of powerful individuals sought to seize the red lotus, igniting a massacre.
Having transformed into a sacred being after ten thousand years, the red lotus is now protected by countless terrifying beasts within its domain—beasts whose strength reaches High-Level or even beyond. To seize the essence of the red lotus, one must first overcome these guardian beasts.
Countless Guardian Beasts have been slain. Despite the mutual constraints and intrigues among human powerhouses, under the united front of several Legendary Powerhouses, the unawakened Guardian Beasts are no match. Blood flows like rivers, and the land of Magma has turned into a world drenched in blood.
In such a massacre, Hong Lian is pushed into a desperate situation. He does not wish to harm others, but if he continues to retreat, he will only invite more harm upon himself. Thus, Inferno Blaze emerges, a scene of apocalyptic flames scorching the earth.
Hong Lian transforms into a demon, becoming a source of calamity.
If this calamity is not his intention and is forced upon him, then the term "demon" is merely an imposed evil name.
Hong Lian's unwillingness and resentment resonate deeply; this is not merely due to his fusion with Crimson Lotus Memory but stems from his true feelings.
In this world, matters of right and wrong cannot be clarified by mere reason. Beyond reason, there exists another word: power.
If one’s own strength can withstand it, if one’s own strength can make the world submit, even making deities lower their noble heads, then what fear does one have in being called a demon?
With complex emotions, Bu leaves behind a Mental Energy Seed within Hong Lian's body and slowly withdraws from it, returning his consciousness to his own body as he gradually awakens from his coma.
At this moment, he has successfully fused with Hong Lian's External Avatar. However, in his heart, there is little joy—only greater pressure.
The fate of Hong Lian, who achieved Earth Spirit and was infinitely close to Demigod strength, has ended in such a manner. Bu Yi Shi feels the vastness of the world; strong individuals abound. With his current strength, even with some fortunate encounters, before he has fully grown, there are far too many who could kill him in this Fran Continent.
As Bu awakens from his coma, Lange immediately senses it. After all, whether Bu has successfully fused with Hong Lian's External Avatar remains an unknown for him; everything must be guarded against.
It is now deep night; more than ten hours have passed since Bu fell unconscious. During this time, Ivan and Locke have grown worried due to the prolonged lack of contact with their master. However, through their contract connection, Locke realizes that Bu is safe and thus calms his anxious heart while waiting quietly in another stone chamber on Holy Mountain.
Although Lange holds the title of Guardian Martial Saint of Crook Duchy, he lives simply without even a servant to attend to him. Therefore, this vast Holy Mountain feels both desolate and sacred.
After Bu woke up, his head still throbbed slightly, and the sudden influx of ancient memories left him feeling somewhat disoriented. As he got out of bed, he wore a look of confusion.
Lange's expression was serious as he fixed his gaze on Bu, observing every move and expression with great care. This scrutiny gradually filled him with excitement.
"Fellow, do you know who I am?" Lange asked, suppressing his rising excitement but still feeling a bit uneasy.
Bu rubbed his forehead and glanced at Lange with a puzzled look but did not answer his question.
"This child shows no signs of being affected by the Spirit Beast's resentment after waking up. There is no madness or loss of reason on his face; instead, he appears somewhat dazed. It seems he is unharmed. This time, the fusion with the External Avatar was successful," Lange's frown gradually relaxed as he continued to observe Bu for a while before nodding in satisfaction.
"Brat, why aren't you answering my question? Quickly, do you know who I am?"
Even though Lange had confirmed Bu's success, he still asked the question with a serious demeanor, which was rather absurd in nature.
Bu frowned and shook his head while baring his teeth in annoyance. He glanced at Lange and exclaimed, "Old fool Lange, who else could it be? Why do you keep asking such stupid questions? Did a donkey kick your brain?"
Lange was taken aback for a moment and then burst into laughter.
Normally, if Bu dared to speak so disrespectfully to him, even if he valued the other person highly, he would have given them a lesson. However, now that Bu had successfully fused with the External Avatar, Lange took no offense at his rudeness; instead, he felt an inexplicable joy because all signs indicated that Bu had indeed succeeded without any mishaps.
"Good lad! I truly did not misjudge you! Hahaha! Now that you have successfully fused with the Crimson Lotus to refine your External Avatar, I can be even more at ease about our journey to the Void Temple in two years. Hahaha!"
Lange laughed heartily, feeling greatly relieved and experiencing a sense of joy akin to seeing the moon after parting the clouds. He had waited long for this moment; Bu's success meant that there was a significant possibility of fulfilling his conditions for their journey to the Void Temple in two years and bringing back the item he had longed for.
In contrast to Lange's joy, Bu sat on the edge of the bed, continuously rubbing his forehead. In his mind now lingered some memories belonging to the Crimson Lotus—some were vague—and these fragmented memories flashed through his mind from time to time, causing him considerable pain and making it difficult for him to concentrate.
“Star God Ethan Star God Ethan, Lord of Fran”
“This Star God, the Lord of Stars?”
Bu's pupils contracted, and the shock in his heart was as intense as a tsunami or a landslide. In the fragments of memory that had just flashed by, he vaguely saw the person who extinguished the Crimson Lotus's soul, witnessed the powerful being who claimed to be its true self, and heard the unwilling roar filled with resentment at the moment of Crimson Lotus's death.
This roar was not human speech, but Bu understood the meaning behind it because he had merged with the Crimson Lotus Memory.
Star God Ethan was the name that Demon Spirit Crimson Lotus used to refer to the one who destroyed its soul. Moreover, from the information revealed in that roar, it seemed that Star God Ethan was also known as Star God Ethan, Lord of Fran.
“Could this Star God Ethan, Lord of Fran refer to that Star God Ethan, the supreme deity ruling over the Fran Continent?”
A breeze blew in from outside, stirring Bu's hair and clothes, but it could not disperse the shock that lingered in his heart or the cold sweat continuously dripping from his forehead.
“Child, regarding the memory of the Crimson Lotus Spirit, it will be difficult for you to fully digest it in a short time. It’s better to take your time and absorb it gradually. For now, you should quickly try to see if you can control the Crimson Lotus Incarnation.”
Lange was unaware of Bu's current shock; he was eager to verify whether Bu could perfectly control the Crimson Lotus Incarnation.
