"Sister, why are you here?
I can handle this myself, you don't need to help."
Seeing Mingyue appear, Baobao thought she was worried.
She transformed into human form and said domineeringly.
"Help you with what! Hurry up and retract the flames."
Mingyue looked at the smug Baobao, almost spitting blood with anger.
She wished she could grab Baobao and have a domestic dispute right there in the air.
Baobao didn't know why her sister was angry.
But she still obediently reached out a hand towards the ground.
Those fiercely burning fireballs, as if summoned,
Flew back into her hands one after another and disappeared.
"This? I didn't control it well, went a bit too far!"
Earlier, the sky was obscured by flames, so Baobao hadn't noticed the ground.
Now, with the flames gone and her vision clear,
She saw the cracked earth, black and emitting green smoke.
Baobao said with a sheepish smile, feeling a little guilty.
Mingyue was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Baobao with her head down, looking like she had done something wrong,
She got angrier the more she looked. She grabbed Baobao by the collar and returned to the ground.
"Look at what you've done!
It was good enough that the ice melted and the water receded.
Why did you have to use fire? Now look.
Not a single house is left in the entire world.
Not only that, all the infrastructure, machinery.
It's all gone. What will we use to rebuild our homes?
And, even the library, the archives are gone.
All the technological data is destroyed. You've essentially destroyed this world's history and culture.
Do you know? These are irreplaceable.
A reduced population can still reproduce, and houses can be rebuilt.
But lost technology and civilization cannot be recovered.
You have, in effect, destroyed this world."
Ji Shiyou settled everyone down and, with Ba Jiu, emerged from the Purple Gold Palace.
Pointing at Baobao, his finger trembled.
He was well-traveled and had a deeper understanding than others.
He knew that history and data recorded through text represented a world's civilization.
He understood what these meant to a world and their significance.
With these lost, this world was left with only a few survivors, and the land was scorched.
Both software and hardware combined were worse than primitive society.
Thinking about the various problems they would have to face in the future,
Ji Shiyou's blood pressure surged because of Baobao's fire.
If Baobao wasn't such a beautiful young girl,
He would have beaten her soundly and made up for her imperfect childhood.
"It wasn't intentional, why are you yelling at her?"
Ba Jiu wasn't afraid of Ji Shiyou. She stood in front of Baobao.
Like a little lion, she glared at Ji Shiyou.
When Mingyue and Ji Shiyou were together, Ba Jiu already disliked Ji Shiyou.
Now he dared to yell at Baobao, and Ba Jiu exploded.
"Brother Ba Jiu, do you hate me even more?"
Seeing Ba Jiu protecting her, Baobao burst into tears.
Crying and sobbing, she said, and then her crying intensified.
"Baobao, don't cry, brother never hated you.
No matter what you do, brother will never yell at you.
Besides, it wasn't intentional.
If he yells at you, I'll have Sister divorce him."
Ba Jiu, like when they were little, held Baobao in her arms.
She stroked her head and comforted her softly.
She also shot a warning glare at Ji Shiyou.
The meaning was clear: we are her family, so you better be careful.
"You, you, you're still protecting her, you've always been like this since you were little.
You always threaten me with this. Look at her now, what has she become?
She acts without thinking, just like Ren Jian.
Ah! Ren Jian, we forgot him in the extreme north!"
Ji Shiyou finally remembered the miserable Ren Jian, whom they had forgotten in the Ice Valley of the Extreme North.
He wondered if he had been burned to death by Baobao's Three-Legged Golden Crow fire.
At his words, Mingyue's face also changed drastically.
She didn't need to be told about the power of the Three-Legged Golden Crow fire; the scene before them was perfect proof.
Some small mountains near Sky Pillar Peak had been melted.
Earlier, it had covered the entire world.
Although Ren Jian could still use his beast transformation ability, he was still flesh and blood.
The more Mingyue thought about it, the more worried she became. She glanced at Ji Shiyou.
They couldn't bother scolding Baobao anymore. Their figures disappeared as they rushed to the extreme north.
This day was the most miserable day of Ren Jian's life.
He was truly cursed. If he could have foreseen the future,
He would never have pestered Ji Shiyou to come to the extreme north.
He would have stayed in the Purple Gold Palace, staying put, and would never have come out, even if beaten to death.
Upon arriving here, he was first beaten by tens of thousands of chaotic beasts, leaving him covered in wounds.
When Mingyue finally arrived and annihilated the chaotic beast army,
He was kicked unconscious by the volatile Baobao just for saying a word.
It was fine if he was knocked unconscious, they could have taken him back.
Who knew that these three unscrupulous people would forget him in the Ice Valley of the Extreme North?
No one remembered him, and he was discarded like trash.
In the ice and snow, he was about to freeze to death.
Just then, he felt his body falling.
And his whole body felt warm, like he was submerged in water.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and then, then he was stunned.
Because he found himself floating in water.
The ice beneath him and the surrounding glaciers were melting rapidly.
The most crucial thing was the scorching heat around him.
This was the extreme north, after all.
Even before the apocalypse, it was perpetually cold, with glaciers that never melted.
Now, the temperature was inexplicably high, and the ice and snow were melting. It was too bizarre.
However, he didn't have time to analyze the cause. In the instant he was thinking,
The ice and snow had completely melted, and the area beneath him was now a vast expanse of water, like being in the deep sea.
He had to keep paddling, or he would drown immediately.
But after swimming only a few dozen meters, another strange thing happened.
A wave of heat descended from the sky, and the surrounding water began to boil.
He felt like a piece of food tumbling in a large pot.
Fortunately, he was a fire element user and could withstand high temperatures.
Coupled with his beast transformation state and strong body,
Otherwise, he would have been scalded to death instantly.
But even so, the majestic white tiger fur on his body,
Was scalded off by the boiling water. Due to the high temperature,
His skin was now tender and pink, like Peppa Pig.
He endured until the flood evaporated completely, leaving him miserably stuck in the mud.
Exhausted, he thought his misfortune had ended.
Then, fireballs like meteors rained down from the sky.
The power contained within the fireballs made him tremble involuntarily.
That power instilled deep fear and submission in his heart.
Even though he knew he was about to be burned to death, to lose his life,
He couldn't muster any thought of resistance, because he dared not.
The flames enveloped and drowned him.
The extreme north, shrouded in flames, let out a mournful tiger roar.
"Did he really get burned to death?"
Mingyue looked at the rolling smoke around them and said anxiously.
If Ren Jian was burned to death, she and Ji Shiyou would bear unavoidable responsibility.
It was all because they forgot Ren Jian here, and they would always feel guilty.
"Although the Three-Legged Golden Crow fire is overbearing, Ren Jian is a fire element user.
Perhaps he can escape death. Even if there's a sliver of hope, we can't give up.
Even if he unfortunately perished, don't blame yourself.
He was brought by me, and I should have brought him back.
All the responsibility is mine, it has nothing to do with you."
Ji Shiyou's expression was also grim, but he comforted Mingyue.
However, his words revealed that Ren Jian's chances of survival against the Three-Legged Golden Crow fire were almost zero.
