Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 790 - 753: Creating Gods

Looking into those blank eyes, Jiang Yuan’s heart was heavy.

Exerting every effort to save the world, the sacrificed companions dispersed their power into the heavens and the earth, still hoping to return together with the Vermilion Bird to guard the world, but in the end...

In his ears, the resentment of the Stone Tiger echoed, "The innate Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth is a gift from the Heavenly Dao. What right does he have to take it back? When did I ever owe all beings?"

Having lost their divinity and devolved into demons, it seems difficult to reunite the Four Symbols guarding this world.

"No, your aura is wrong, you are not Xuanyuan Yangguang." The Vermilion Bird blinked its hollow eyes, muttering, "Why hasn’t he come back yet, time is running out."

[1. About the Four Symbols Divine Beast]

[2. About the Mysterious Desert]

[3. About the Vermilion Bird]

Jiang Yuan was feeling sorrowful when the familiar dialogue selection interface popped up in his sight.

Looking up again, he saw a quest exclamation mark above the Bird’s head, styled like an online game. The corners of his mouth twitched, a bit speechless at the system’s "modifications."

"I am not Senior Xuanyuan, but if you have any instructions, I will do my best to help." Saying this, he took out a teacup and drank a sip of Spirit Tea, refilling the health bar depleted by the scalding aura of the Vermilion Bird.

However, the other side had no response, merely flapping its wings like an NPC, slowly floating up and down.

Upon selecting option 1, the Vermilion Bird calmly floated in the air, answering, "The great world is divided into three layers: the upper layer is the Celestial Realm, with gods and carefree celestials of various divine beasts;

the middle layer is the Cultivation Realm, also known as the Human Realm, with countless small worlds inhabited by various races, including humans, demons, and devils;

the lower layer is the Netherworld connecting the Celestial Realm and the Cultivation Realm, where sinners proceed to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and those waiting for reincarnation dwell in cities.

Humans die and become ghosts, ghosts die and become Nir, Nir dies and becomes Xi, Xi dies and becomes Yi, Yi dies and becomes void, void begets Dao, Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things.

All things are based on humanity, ascending to celestials and descending to ghosts.

Thus, the myriad small worlds within the Cultivation Realm are the foundation of the Three Realms. To protect this foundation, each self-contained small world has the Four Symbols representing the southeast, northwest, also known as the four celestial spirits, to guard it.

The war between gods and devils has never ceased, our responsibility is to protect this world in peace, to resist invaders from the Outer Heaven Demon.

Xuanyuan Yangguang once questioned why the Four Symbols who guard the world turned a blind eye to the Demon Race’s misdeeds and slaughter of the Human Race, causing the energy of earth and heaven to become chaotic with indifference.

However, the Four Symbols each had their own duties, resisting foreign invasions and supporting the world to prevent it from falling, with all their might. The conflicts between the two races are the disaster of the incomplete Heavenly Dao, and the myriad gods are too busy to care, leaving us helpless.

With internal and external troubles attacking, the decline in civilization within small worlds brings more polluted air; the Four Divine Beasts cannot catch their breath, falling one after another, leaving only my remnant soul waiting bitterly for the return of my companions."

After speaking, the Vermilion Bird floated quietly in the air, sighing long and deep.

The next dialogue box popped up with two remaining options. Jiang Yuan clicked to inquire about the mysterious desert.

"This isolated small space was created by Xuanyuan Yangguang specifically for me."

The Vermilion Bird became softer in tone upon saying this, "At that time, the other Three Divine Beasts had already fallen. I upheld the world, using Flame to resist the infiltrating Outer Heaven Demon. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was not yet polluted, Xuanyuan Yangguang’s Daoxin was firm, and he could take the last step to ascend to the Celestial Realm.

But while seeking transcendence, he encountered the gravely injured me.

Xuanyuan Yangguang faced two paths: turning left, continuing to pursue the Dao to eventually ascend to the Celestial Realm; turning right, saving me, seeking back the Three Divine Beasts, saving the entire small world.

Choosing the former meant leaving this place for a safer world to continue cultivation, avoiding being implicated by the collapse of the world or Spiritual Energy pollution;

Choosing the latter, there might be hope for the entire world, yet bearing the cause and effect, it was unknown how many years it would take before he could fulfill his great aspiration and ascend once more.

Faced with the difficult choice, Xuanyuan Yangguang did not hesitate for a moment, immediately setting about creating a Secret Realm for my recovery.

Using up his lifelong knowledge and accumulated treasures, searching beyond the Otherworld to gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he built this desert. He then used my feathers as raw materials to create the Divine Artifact - a blazing sun suspended in the sky, harnessing the flame energy here for my use.

This space, though relatively enclosed, was thoroughly prepared to prevent innocents from mistakenly entering. He ensured that intruders could follow landmarks to replenish at oases along the way, safely reaching his former dwelling sand castle in the north, from where they could safely leave through the Teleportation Array.

I, amidst the chaos, unaware of time passing, awaited Xuanyuan Yangguang, when a Beast Tamer inadvertently entered this place. Initially, he was just curious, exploring the desert by virtue of his Beast Taming abilities, trying many times before discovering the Vermilion Bird Tower.

After a long time of exploring and attempting, consuming many Demon Beasts’ lives, he finally managed to enter the tower smoothly.

Upon learning that I was the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, the Beast Tamer harbored greed, desiring to claim this space for himself, even wanting to tame me as his Spirit Pet.

The greedy Beast Tamer took a long time to create, draw a map for himself, ensuring he wouldn’t get lost. Then he destroyed all of Xuanyuan Yangguang’s oases and landmarks.

Little did he know, arrays must follow natural laws to endure.

By destroying the oases, Xuanyuan Yangguang’s exquisite design turned deficient in water of the Five Elements, making the energy here lose restraint, becoming increasingly violent and chaotic, randomly forming spatial turbulence wandering over the Wilderness.

More and more innocents were swept in, unable to discern directions without oases for replenishment, eventually perishing tragically in the desert, further intensifying the sky-rocketing resentment.
