Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 601 The Birth of Starfall

boom--!

A huge black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, instantly crushing the pile of bones. Countless abyssal shadow creatures roared in the darkness and rushed towards Xingluo frantically, trying to devour his soul.

"No...I can't die here!"

Xingluo's eyes suddenly burned with energy flames, and his right hand pressed tightly against his chest, forcibly using the power of the Divine Flame Crystal to block the rioting magic core.

However, the next moment, a sharp cracking sound came from within the body.

"Crack!"

His bones were broken, and cracks appeared in the divine flame crystal, and energy leaked out.

The vision was suddenly engulfed by a blazing white.

Xing Luo’s eyes went dark and his consciousness began to fall, as if he was thrown into a bottomless abyss.

When he opened his eyes again, there were no longer dry bones under his feet, but a river flowing with starlight.

The silvery-white light bands coiled and meandered in the void, as if the veins of time were cut open and exposed before his eyes.

"You're here again."

A hoarse voice sounded slowly.

Xingluo looked up suddenly, and an old man with long white hair appeared in front of him. His figure was slightly hunched, but he exuded an indescribable pressure.

"It's him again. We meet in the abyss quite frequently." Xingluo muttered.

Xingluo's heart was shocked and he looked at the other party in disbelief.

The old man walked slowly, but each step he took covered a thousand miles, as if time and space were making way for him.

"Starfall."

"Welcome to the 'Memory Space'. Your birth...it's up to me to tell you the truth."

"Who am I? Why did I come to this continent?"

Xingluo stared at the old man, trembling all over.

The old man took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"You have never been an ordinary person. You must always remember that you are the 'spark' - the last weapon and hope of human civilization."

"Look carefully—"

The old man stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air, and a magnificent scene suddenly appeared before his eyes:

The towering floating city was suspended in the sky, countless silver magic machines were lined up, and starlight flowed between the earth and the sky. Xingluo saw a familiar phantom.

The sword body flows like a galaxy, and can cut through the power of gods.

Armor, armor that resists the erosion of divine laws.

Proton core, technological alchemy and integration, reversing element structure, can affect the field of divine punishment.

"This is the Great Demon Age - the pinnacle of the combination of human science and magic."

The old man said in a deep voice: "We have mastered the power that can rival the gods."

The scene suddenly changed.

The dark sky was torn apart by the golden holy light, and a golden halo slowly descended, covering the entire floating city.

"Mortals, put aside your ignorance and rebellion, kneel down, and be purified."

The voice of the Lord of Light resounded throughout heaven and earth, like a hymn gathering into a mighty torrent.

The silver-white starlight formation tried to attack, but the next moment——

--boom! ! !

The blazing holy light engulfed everything. The floating city turned into a sea of fire, and the souls of countless warriors were crushed by the holy light. The glory of civilization collapsed overnight.

"But we have one last trick up our sleeve."

The old man pointed to the night sky.

"That meteor shower... do you remember?"

Starfall saw:

Countless purple-gold meteors streaked across the sky and fell around a small village, sealing the authority of the Lord of Light.

“This is a miracle of time and space magic.

In order to foster the 'God's Countermeasure', I sealed the Lord of Light and created the Falling God Village."

The scene changed and the figure of a black-haired woman emerged.

"And your mother..."

The old man's voice trembled slightly.

"I voluntarily sacrificed my soul to fuse the Divine Flame Crystal with my birthmark, giving birth to you - the crystal of humanity's ultimate weapon."

Otherwise, your enormous strength would have caused you to explode and die long ago.

"No...impossible..."

Xingluo knelt down trembling, his fingertips dug into his palms tightly, and blood dripped through his fingers.

In the dark sky, the cracked golden halo slowly fell, and countless holy lights turned into chains, piercing through the earth.

In the ruins of the floating city, the most powerful divine flame crystal floated quietly, its light flickering, like an angry heart trying to break through all restraints.

"Hurry! We can't hold on any longer!"

An urgent shout was heard.

Inside the ruined hall, several demigod magicians had pale faces, blood was dripping from the corners of their mouths, and despair was evident in their eyes. They were now the strongest fighting force among human beings, but were only at the demigod level.

"The Holy See of Light has learned of our plan..."

"If we don't start the fusion now, the Spark Project will completely fail!"

The air suddenly fell silent.

One of the demigod women stood there quietly, her white clothes already soaked in blood.

She was a seemingly fragile woman, with eyebrows and eyes like the moon, and slightly messy black hair, but her eyes revealed a determination that made it impossible to look directly at her.

"I come."

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had already made her decision.

"Ma'am, no! You have a child!"

The busy great magicians around exclaimed in unison, and even the demigods were slightly moved.

"You are the last bloodline of the Keeper family. Once you merge, your soul will be burned to ashes by the Divine Flame Crystal - you may only live for a few days."

"I know."

She lowered her eyes slightly, and slowly stroked her belly which had not yet bulged with her slender fingers.

There, a weak life is growing.

She looked up at the man standing in the doorway.

He was a black-haired young man with eyes as deep as the night sky, and a faint six-pointed star birthmark faintly appeared below his right shoulder.

His lips trembled, but he said nothing.

"You know, I don't have a choice."

She whispered, her voice gentle, but it pierced the man's heart like a knife.

"If it is not fused, the Divine Flame Crystal will be completely out of control."

"This child will be burned by that power as soon as he is born. After all, there will also be the power of other time and space gods in the meteor shower."

"Now I must turn myself into a fuse and seal the largest crystal and the birthmark into his blood."

A black-haired young man stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly:

"Why you? Why not me?!"

She smiled and a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

"Idiot, the child is in my belly. Now only my soul can resonate with this child."

"And your mission is to protect the seals of other gods."

The divine flame crystal was slowly lifted up and hovered in front of the woman.

Terrifying energy burst out, hot enough to burn all the space.

"let's start."

Her voice was gentle, but it carried a chill that could not be rejected.

"Turn my soul into a vessel for the fire."

"From now on, this child is both a human and a weapon."

The demigods looked solemn, forming complex seals.

"Project Spark·Soul Fusion——Start!"

boom--! !

The divine flame crystal suddenly burst out with a blinding light, and the flame transformed into a gigantic oriental dragon, enveloping the woman.

“Ahhhh——!!”

She let out a terrible scream, and her soul seemed to be torn apart by countless sharp blades and burned up bit by bit.

"hold onto!"

The demigods roared, cold sweat dripping down their cheeks.

"The Divine Flame Crystal is rejecting fusion, the soul threshold is not high enough!"

"She can't hold on any longer—"

At this moment, the woman slowly raised her hand, trembling slightly, and gently pressed it on her lower abdomen.

"Child...you must live..."

The extremely terrifying energy turned into flames and trembled suddenly, as if it felt a hint of tenderness.

The power within the Divine Flame Crystal began to slowly converge and merge into the fetus's weak soul core.

"Not enough. The child's soul energy is not enough. I'm afraid he can't survive the arrival of more Divine Flame Crystals." An energy phantom flashed by. It was the God of Time and Space. He was exactly the same as the old man who appeared in Xingluo's dream, but he looked younger.

"Six-pointed star inscription - seal!"

The Grand Mage suddenly shouted.

A silver-white light emerged, swirled into the fetus' body, and turned into a faint hexagram birthmark.

"Success..."

“The Divine Flame Crystal and the Eye of Imprisonment have been completely integrated into the Fire.

The flames dissipated, and the woman collapsed to the ground, her body having turned into a translucent shadow. However, with the efforts of many demigods, her figure finally became clear again, but as time passed, the figure continued to slowly dissipate.

She smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at the black-haired young man.

"Promise me that you will bring him alive."

The young man was beside her, tears streaming down his face as he tightly hugged the gradually disappearing figure.

"I promise……"

"No matter what the cost... I will let him live..."

"That's good……"

The woman slowly closed her eyes and said in an inaudible voice:

"...My child, I'm sorry...Mom can't grow up with you..."
