The Gods' Instance.

A Gu Dragon, with grayish-white scales and purple mane, although in the form of a dragon, appeared eerie. As soon as it pounced into the battlefield, it opened its long mouth, bared its fangs, and spewed a jet of black flames, stretching for kilometers, towards the fair and adorable boy.

These flames seemed to contain the power to decay everything, causing the arena within a few kilometers to fall into decay. The soil lost its nutrients, bacteria and microorganisms died rapidly, and the already barren ground took on a texture like white sand.

Flames of World Destruction, one of the Zhulong’s strongest abilities, a core authority. The Flames of World Destruction could burn all life, spiritual power, and nutrients in the world, turning the human world into a desolate wasteland.

Xie's Family Patriarch did not resist, did not dodge, and allowed the black flames to scorch his body.

The Flames of World Destruction were a ranged damage attack; dodging was useless.

His skin quickly withered and wrinkled, his hair turned gray, and his eyes became clouded. Apart from maintaining the form of a child, his appearance was already that of a frail old man.

But in the next second, powerful life force erupted from within his body, nourishing his skin, blackening his white hair, and restoring clarity to his eyes.

Xie's Family Patriarch endured the burning of the black flames, constantly aging, constantly being reborn, in a continuous cycle.

Suddenly, viscous black liquid flowed from the void above his head, pouring onto the child's head.

Dada, it flowed stickily onto his cheeks and chest, staining his entire body with a foul and filthy aura.

Immediately, the child’s recovery ability plummeted, unable to restore himself to a tender and adorable boy. Each time he aged into a white-haired old man, he could only recover to middle age with all his might.

He was being eroded by the power of the defiled evil spirit.

Curses, filth, and the decay of the Witch Gu master were precisely the bane of the Musician's life and recovery.

Xie's Family Patriarch calmly opened his inventory and grabbed an infant's head, followed by the torso and legs, but without arms.

This was the rule-based item held by the Xie family - a Holy Infant. Only a "mother" could soothe the Holy Infant, so it needed to be stored in separate parts. Once a complete Holy Infant was pieced together, it would lose control.

The Holy Infant opened its eyes and cried "Wah" with a loud and vigorous voice.

Amidst the infant's loud cries, Xie's Family Patriarch hummed a cheerful tune, gently rocking the infant in his arms. The cries changed from loud to piercing.

This was the ability that a Musician controlled in the Extraordinary realm - Encouragement.

Encouragement could greatly enhance the skill strength of oneself or allies. He was now using Encouragement to amplify the infant's cries.

The infant's cries echoed again and again, and the Gu Dragon's abdomen swelled up, gradually pushing open its scales. Infant cries came from the swollen abdomen.

The Holy Infant's power of rules, coupled with the demigod's amplification, caused the Gu Dragon to become pregnant successfully.

The fetus in the abdomen took away part of the Gu Dragon's power, causing the raging Flames of World Destruction to weaken visibly, no longer as strong.

Xie's Family Patriarch seized the opportunity to restore his child form. The black flames spewed out by the Gu Dragon flowed back, covering the dragon's body, which was dozens of meters long.

It burned itself with the Flames of World Destruction, killing the fetus in its abdomen. The crying immediately weakened, and the highly bulging abdomen began to shrink.

Seeing this, Xie's Family Patriarch, holding the Holy Infant, opened his small mouth and spat out a golden, viscous liquid like soup. These liquids formed a torrential rain in mid-air. Most of it was incinerated by the Flames of World Destruction, but a small portion poured down, showering the Gu Dragon....

The fetus, about to die in its womb, seemed to receive a great tonic in an instant, emitting a loud cry. The shriveled dragon's abdomen swelled up again. No matter how the Flames of World Destruction burned, it could not stop its gestation.

The Musician's profession's "Gestation" and "Nurturing" combined, in the demigod realm, became a rule of inevitable childbirth!

Seeing that the Flames of World Destruction could not kill the fetus in its abdomen in a short time, the Gu Dragon stopped spewing Flames of World Destruction. From its long snout, filled with fangs, it uttered a difficult and obscure incantation.

The two horns on its head lit up, spreading out waves of gray energy.

Immediately, Xie's Family Patriarch and the Holy Infant in his arms looked dim, and became turbid under their armpits, falling into the state of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

Immediately afterwards, viscous liquid poured down from the void, landing on the heads of the Holy Infant and the child.

The combination of fortune reduction and filth effectively countered, causing the Holy Infant to lose its spirituality, and Xie's Family Patriarch to suffer a great loss of vitality.

The crying stopped immediately. Xie's Family Patriarch's fingertips extended fine red threads, wrapping the filthy Holy Infant. Soon, the Holy Infant in the "red cloth" wrapping let out a loud cry again. It was revived.

Level 7 Musician's core skill, Revival.

The Gu Dragon's abdomen swelled to the extreme. With a "poof," flesh and blood split open, giving birth to a small dragon the thickness of an arm.

The little dragon had no eyes, no antlers, and no claws. It twisted its body frantically, emitting a high-pitched "ao ao" sound, like a newborn infant, calling for its mother.

The Gu Dragon snorted coldly, turned its head, and was about to swallow the little dragon to recover its lost power and authority.

Just then, Xie's Family Patriarch took out a small and exquisite Demon Refining Pot, covered in green patina.

This was what he had pre-borrowed from the Chu family girl. On the one hand, he was worried that she would die in the instance, causing this demigod item to be lost. On the other hand, the situation had reached the critical moment when a demigod war could break out at any time. Having a demigod item of his own profession by his side could save his life at a critical moment and unexpectedly injure the enemy, just like now.

Of course, in exchange, he gave the Chu family girl a high-grade Dominator-level item.

For Killing Palace Master, this was a scheme that was not a loss, or even a small profit.

The rank of demigod items was too high, and Dominators could not exert their true effect!

And a high-grade Dominator item could be used to its full potential in the instance. If she died in the instance, it was better for the Demon Refining Pot to be in Xie's Family Patriarch's hands than to be recovered by the instance.

Xie's Family Patriarch opened the mouth of the pot and chanted a spell. "Whoosh!" The mouth of the pot generated a terrifying suction, locking onto the Gu Dragon. The Lingjing Association's demigod's pupils contracted sharply, and it felt a fear from its instinct.

It ignored swallowing the little dragon, twisted its body, and frantically struggled to activate its spiritual power, trying to break out of the vortex's envelopment. However, having lost part of its power, no matter how it struggled, it could not get rid of the Demon Refining Pot's devouring.

Amidst a series of unwilling roars, the Gu Dragon disappeared into the Demon Refining Pot.

Xie's Family Patriarch quickly covered the mouth of the pot, opened his inventory, grabbed a palm-leaf fan, and waved it fiercely at the Demon Refining Pot.

A strong wind rose, and Samadhi True Fire burst from the bottom of the Demon Refining Pot. The Gu Dragon in the pot crashed around frantically. The small and exquisite Demon Refining Pot swayed back and forth in the flames, but remained standing.

Half an hour later, the roaring in the pot weakened, and the impact force became lighter and lighter....

Another half an hour passed, and there was no more sound in the pot. The biggest function of the Demon Refining Pot was to reforge living beings, whether you were a demigod or an ant, you could not escape the fate of being refined.

Xie's Family Patriarch spread his sleeves and took away the newborn little dragon. In the Lingjing prompt sound that came from his ears, he smiled at the evil faction, whose faces were extremely ugly, and said, "I won, thanks."

Then he looked at the lawful demigods and smiled, "I did not fail my mission."

In the chaotic world, Haotian Shangdi answered the fifth question: "We cultivated life on this planet, enlightened human wisdom, and taught them to establish civilization and practice cultivation, but before we could cultivate gods, the evil gods found this place."

"So the second God War broke out. The consequence of that battle was that Lingjing was broken through, and the power of the evil gods polluted this planet, causing large-scale distortion of creatures. Practitioners fell one after another, order collapsed, and the world fell into the edge of destruction. To this end, we launched the Great Flood. The Great Flood composed of Weak Water devoured the distorted creatures. Then, we drove the ten Golden Crows transformed by the origin of the sun to burn the earth and purify the power of the evil gods."

So the world-destroying disasters in mythology originated from this!

Zhang Yuanching had a feeling of mist breaking apart, and history slowly unfolding before his eyes.

No wonder Nvba said that the Ten Suns Crow disorder was destruction, but also redemption.

"Since there is Taiyin's protection, why could the evil camp's gods find this place?" he couldn't help but ask.

Haotian Shangdi said: "Taiyin's concealment is mainly to prevent divination, detection, and deduction, not to erase actually existing things. The universe is boundless, but as long as you adopt the most foolish carpet-like search, you will eventually find this place one day. Of course, the main reason is that someone in the gods of the Third District betrayed and attracted the evil gods."

"The battle to destroy the world first broke out in the Third District, causing all the gods and creatures in the Third District to be wiped out. That part of Lingjing was most seriously polluted, so it has not been opened for a long time."

So that's what happened. No wonder practitioners have never appeared in the history of the Third District, because they were wiped out early.

Zhang Yuanching suddenly understood. This was consistent with the Third District information he had learned.

After explaining, Haotian Shangdi continued to tell: "After that, as the main creator of Lingjing, the Nvwa, who possessed the authority to refine weapons, sacrificed herself in order to repair Lingjing's loopholes. But the invasion of evil gods has become a fact. They can still pollute the creatures of this planet through Lingjing. The Battle of Zhuolu that you are familiar with is another attack by evil gods on this planet. This battle made the human leaders in charge of the Five Elements wake up, stopped attacking each other, united against the outside world, and ended the Battle of Zhuolu. After two generations, Youxiong's grandson Zhuanxu restarted the conflict, killed the Water God, gathered the Five Elements authority, and became the first god."

"At that time, the lawful gods had already fallen, and I was hiding behind the scenes, struggling to maintain Lingjing's operation against the evil gods. He knew that he could not fight against evil with the power of law and order, so with the authority of the administrator, he imitated Nvwa and sacrificed himself to seal Lingjing, and the world thus entered a period of peace."

Severing the connection between heaven and earth! These four words flashed in Zhang Yuanching's mind.

According to legend, Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, severing the connection between mortals and the heavenly realm. From then on, human affairs were left to humans, and there was no need to listen to the orders of the heavenly realm.

Although there are deviations between legend and reality, it expresses history to a certain extent.

Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, which not only prevented the evil gods from eroding the world, but also sealed Lingjing, so the world entered the Age of Dharma Decline. Lingjing no longer stably produced spiritual power, and the entire world became a pool of stagnant water.

As the existing spiritual power continued to be consumed, it became less and less, and the upper limit of practitioners also became lower and lower, until extinction.

Later generations worked hard to seek longevity, but were still ruthlessly swallowed by time. They were destined not to become administrators, and could not restart Lingjing.

Zhang Yuanching thought for a while and asked in confusion: "Evil gods cannot invade Lingjing, but destroying the planet is not difficult, right?"

The earth is a hatchery for lawful gods to cultivate successors. They cannot destroy Lingjing, but they can destroy the earth.

Haotian Shangdi stared at him for a few seconds and said something that subverted Zhang Yuanching's worldview: "Because this planet is also a part of Lingjing, it is Lingjing's largest instance. If you want to destroy it, you must completely control Lingjing."
