The Elven World, the Earth's Core.
The reason for the Elven World's continuous high temperatures and the second wilting of the Tree of Life.
Mingyue had found it, the Creation Red Silk before her.
But it was not the root cause; the culprit was the nine remaining souls of the Golden Crow sealed within.
Though incomplete, the souls of the Golden Crow still contained residual Golden Crow Fire.
It was the ultimate yang and fiercely potent True Sun Fire, the most overbearing of all flames.
It was a heavenly fire possessed from birth by the Golden Crow, and even after its death, it would cling to its soul.
A single spark could incinerate a world.
Let alone nine souls combined.
Originally, the Creation Red Silk could suppress the flames within these nine Golden Crow souls.
Dijun had also placed a seal upon it, preventing the Golden Crow Fire from leaking.
But the man in grey had placed the Creation Red Silk within the earth's core magma.
Magma was the foremost of earth fires, and it was strongly attracted to fire elements.
The Golden Crow Fire leaked, thus causing the Elven World's temperature to rise.
Although the Tree of Life could absorb and integrate the power of the five elements, its level was merely that of an Earth Treasure.
Golden Crow Fire was a heavenly fire, far superior in level to the Tree of Life.
It was beyond its capacity to control, hence its roots were burned.
A person without integrity cannot stand; a tree without roots cannot live.
With the roots of the Tree of Life injured, it naturally withered.
Mingyue healed it with the Water of Life, and though it immediately revived like a withered tree in spring,
It was merely a superficial cure, as the Golden Crow Fire continued to erode the tree's roots.
Thus, the Tree of Life withered again.
Now, to save the Tree of Life and the Elven World,
The only way was to destroy the nine Golden Crow souls within the Creation Red Silk.
Or, to directly remove the Creation Red Silk from the Elven World.
However, Mingyue could do neither.
Because the Creation Red Silk bore the seal of the Demon Emperor Dijun.
It repelled her, preventing her from approaching it closely.
Furthermore, the Witch and Demon tribes were irreconcilable.
Their cultivation focuses were diametrically opposed and vastly different.
Thus, demon arts and witchcraft were not compatible. Mingyue looked at the Creation Red Silk before her,
Her face etched with worry, utterly helpless.
But seeing the heat radiating from the Creation Red Silk growing stronger,
And the roots of the Tree of Life nearby already scorched,
Mingyue stamped her foot, deciding to take a desperate gamble and force her way.
Since she could not break the seal, she would destroy the Creation Red Silk along with the Golden Crow souls within.
Otherwise, the Tree of Life would be beyond saving.
The Elven World would still face destruction.
Mingyue gathered all her cultivation into her palm,
And with a fierce strike, she slammed it towards the Creation Red Silk from afar.
As a result, she still underestimated the Creation Red Silk.
Setting aside the restrictions placed by the Demon Emperor Dijun,
The Creation Red Silk itself was a fragment of the Pangu Banner.
And it was a part of the Pangu Banner with the greatest power.
It almost contained all the functions of the Pangu Banner and bore the merit of cleaving heaven and earth.
How could it be shaken by her palm? After one strike,
The Creation Red Silk remained unmoved, while Mingyue was repelled by the backlash.
She tumbled backward for a hundred zhang,
Her palm bleeding profusely, her tiger's mouth split open.
Her entire body's meridians ached intensely, and her dantian and purple mansion churned as if in a storm, leaving her unable to move for a time.
Then, nine flames flew out from the Creation Red Silk,
Heading towards her. It was likely that her actions just now
Had angered the nine remaining Golden Crow souls, who were now counterattacking her.
Mingyue, unable to move, could neither dodge nor counterattack, and could only await death.
In her heart, she thought, "If only I had brought Ji Shiyou."
He had cultivated Golden Crow Fire in the Moon Radiance Realm.
With him here, perhaps he could subdue these nine Golden Crow souls.
Watching the nine flames fly towards her, Mingyue tried her best to regulate her breathing,
Hoping to recover even a fraction of her cultivation.
At least enough to dodge, not to wait for death.
But at that moment, she saw a black egg.
It flew up from beneath her, blocking her path.
Then, with a running start, it shot forward, meeting the nine flames.
"Baby! Come back quickly, you're just an egg now.
You can't block them, be careful not to get roasted!"
Mingyue cried out in alarm. It was likely that during the tumble after being repelled by the Creation Red Silk,
Her baby, whom she had tucked in her embrace, had rolled out.
Baby was a Golden Crow Fairy who had regressed into an egg to help her awaken her bloodline. Although the Golden Crow Fairy also cultivated Golden Crow Fire,
She was now just an egg, and it was very dangerous.
But Baby did not return, and Mingyue stopped calling.
Because the golden patterns on the shell of the ink-black Golden Crow egg were now shining with golden light,
Brilliant like a galaxy, and had actually frozen all nine flames.
The black egg, like a hungry tiger in a flock of sheep, flashed nine times.
Not a single flame remained; all were devoured.
The golden light on the egg intensified. The surrounding crimson magma,
Under the golden radiance, was forced to recede, forming a space of several hundred zhang.
"Baby, what are you doing?
No, that's the Creation Red Silk, it can tear chaos and split space-time.
It still has Dijun's seal, you can't break through it!"
Seeing the black egg retreat a hundred zhang, then accelerate,
Like a shooting star, it collided with the Red Silk. Mingyue cried out again.
Baby still ignored Mingyue, and with a headfirst collision, struck the Creation Red Silk.
But this time, she was not so lucky. The golden light on the eggshell scattered and vanished.
Mingyue heard several crisp cracking sounds in her ears, and then saw.
Cracks appeared on the outer shell of the black egg, which then shattered into pieces.
The egg was broken!
"Baby!"
Mingyue wailed, enduring the intense pain in her body, and lunged towards the Creation Red Silk.
But she saw only shattered eggshell, not the albumen or yolk.
The grief of losing Baby, coupled with her previous injuries,
Mingyue's body went weak, and a feeling of dizziness washed over her, about to collapse.
To maintain her balance, she grabbed the Creation Red Silk.
"Strange, how can I approach the Creation Red Silk now?
Has Dijun's seal disappeared? Did Baby's collision
Break the seal? Baby isn't dead, she just entered the Creation Red Silk?"
As Mingyue was speculating, a sharp pain shot through her head.
At the same time, the Creation Red Silk blazed with light, and a vast amount of information flooded into her mind.
"The Creation Red Silk recognizes its master?"
Even though Mingyue was a person of composure who remained unruffled by honor or disgrace, she was now shocked.
Because the incoming information told her that Baby was not only alive,
But the Creation Red Silk had also recognized her as its master.
The black egg was originally a Golden Crow egg, and it had just absorbed the nine flames of the Golden Crow fire.
This had enhanced Baby's cultivation and accelerated her hatching.
The baby within the eggshell had already taken form. Since she was of the Golden Crow race,
Dijun's seal, which repelled Mingyue and prevented her from approaching,
Did not repel Baby, who possessed the Golden Crow bloodline. Thus, Baby's collision
Had shattered the eggshell, and she had also broken through the seal.
She had used this opportunity to break out of her shell and enter the Creation Red Silk.
Because there was something she needed inside, which she had already sensed.
As for the Creation Red Silk recognizing Mingyue as its master, it was simple.
Mingyue was originally formed from a drop of Pangu's purest essence blood.
She could be considered a continuation of Pangu's bloodline, or even Pangu herself.
In her moment of dizziness, she had grabbed the Creation Red Silk.
Her bleeding hand touched it, and the Creation Red Silk, sensing Pangu's aura, automatically recognized her as its master.
"Sister, help me!"
Mingyue was still immersed in the incoming information when she heard Baby's plea for help from within the Creation Red Silk.
