Chapter 1301: 18.139 First Grey Star - A Vow with the Fire Spirit of Nirvana Flame
The fire spirit of the Nirvana Flame was moping over his shortcomings when Mo Yuhan approached him in silence. He prodded him gently with an ice-covered finger, and the second the ice made touch with the fire spirit is manifested form, the ice melted.
{Human Child, what are you doing?}
Mo Yuhan said, "Little Phoenix, are you not going with us? When the calamities arrive, will you be alright alone in this place?"
{Are you talking about the three calamities the Sea God had spread before? I don't need to worry about the Water Calamity since it ended and the Land Calamity couldn't reach the sky. It cannot affect me.}
Mo Yuhan asked, "What about the Calamity of Sky? Can you block it on your own?"
The fire spirit turned quiet.
{If fate suggests death, then I shall accept it.}
"Can't you fight for survival with us then? Instead of waiting for death, please fight with us in the end. Help us defend the land and we will help you defend the sky. My brother might be a mortal but is this world's chosen one. Moreover, you already met his elder brother and saw his cousin, right? Do you think we will die?" Mo Yuhan said.
{Cousin? You mean that Venerable Lord that appeared on the screen just now. Are you saying that brat is connected by blood with that lord? Impossible! Unbelievable! That lord is definitely not a human.
Do you think the flames of hell can be controlled easily by just anyone? That is a deadly flame that burns until nothing is left behind. Not a bone, an ash, or even a soul will be left behind after being burned by the obsidian fire.}
Mo Yuhan said, "I am not joking though. That person is definitely A'Ming's cousin and he is my cousin-in-law. That person is married to my cousin, who helped me become stronger. My ice doesn't used to be this strong."
{Are you saying someone has helped you mutate your ice ability? That is something only God can do. Not some low-tier god but an extremely powerful one like the one in that brat's brother's body.}
Mo Yuhan scratched his head and said, "I don't know if my cousin is God but... He is the strongest ice elemental ability user in my clan. He is married to that person you are calling the Lord just now."
The fire spirit listened, stunned into silence. This innocent youngster does not even have the cunning appearance of the brat who was previously attacking him. Furthermore, it does not appear that the two celestial beings keeping watch over them plan to make him follow the brats. Perhaps in their thoughts, it makes no difference to them whether I follow them or not.
It seemed as though their sole purpose in being here was to bring these two brats to meet him.
{Human child, you try to surround me with your ice. I will try not to melt it. Take me away secretly. I will decide later whether to help your brother or not.}
Mo Yuhan was delighted by these words. "Really?!"
He looked around and hastily covered his mouth. He followed the fire spirit's instructions after noticing that the other three were preoccupied with their own concerns. He left with the fire spirit, returned to their group, and began roasting sweet potatoes over the fire.
Lu Ming turned his head and looked at him. "Where did you go just now?"
"I peed. Then I saw that the Phoenix was gone and checked. It seems to have gone into the volcano to sleep again," Mo Yuhan said. "Is it alright to leave like this?"
Lu Ming poked the sweet potatoes and said, "The situation had changed a lot. If the capital was not in danger, I would have stayed longer. But since Brother Ye summoned us back, he will take his leave again, and when that happens, there will be only us to protect the land while he is out."
"Don't worry. Su Jin and I will do our best to support you," Mo Yuhan said.
Lu Ming said, "Sure, thanks, bro!"
A massive whale eventually surfaced above the island after some time of waiting. The two young people were astounded by such a fantastic scene. Mo Yuhan and Lu Ming were startled, but they would have believed that whales had invaded the land if they had not seen Su Jin and Leica above the whale.
Su Jin jumped down off the whale while calling his lover's name. "Ming-ge!"
"Xiao Jin!?"
Lu Ming extended his hand to grasp the gradually descending figure. Su Jin slowed down his descent with the help of the water droplets in the air, making it easy for Lu Ming to catch up to him. Lu Shang also caught Leica with greater ease than Lu Ming.
The Sky Whale realized it had finished its mission when its two passengers descended, and it turned to return to the waters.
"Thank you, Sky Whale!" Su Jin shouted while waving his hand. The sky whale howls, saying goodbye and jumping down to the ocean from the sky.
Mo Yuhan exclaimed, "This is the first time I saw a whale that can fly!"
"That's an apostle of the Sea God Lanyu. He is only one of its kind," Leica said. "Have you received the message from Lord Ye?"
"Yes. Do you have an idea why he is asking us back?" Lu Shang asked with a mellow voice while helping his wife fix a few stray hairs.
Leica smiled and said, "I've asked Yue. It seems that Lord Ye Jieye plans to return to his real body." He was telling him that the Lord God plans to return to Ye Jieye's original body. Not the temporary body he is currently using.
Lu Shang said, "That means he is going inside the dungeon with his soul alone. But to leave on his own, I don't think his wife might be happy about it."
"Lord Mo is also planning on returning to his real body. The incoming calamity is so dangerous that they need to be at least in their real vessel to be ready in case something happens," Leica said.
Su Jin checked on Lu Ming and was relieved to see him safe with no fatal injuries. "Thank God, you are alright. Have you gotten your opportunity, Ming-ge?"
"Sorry, Xiao Jin. I failed to do that. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you no matter what," Lu Ming said.
Suddenly, the wisp of Nirvana Flame appeared in front of the couple. The small ice dome had immediately melted, making Mo Yuhan panic.
{With your little strength, this little demigod can defeat you with a single finger, and you want to protect him. Sounds ridiculous!}
"Ah! I thought you wanted me to sneak you out and observe Brother Ming for a bit before deciding! Have you decided to come with us?" Mo Yuhan said.
Su Jin turned serious and protected Lu Ming behind him. "Who are you?"
{Little Demigod, even if you are half divine, I can still burn your vessel to ashes. So rude!}
"Xiao Jin, calm down. It is... what I came here for," Lu Ming said.
Su Jin said, "This is your opportunity. How come it can talk?"
"A fire spirit. One that was born from a trace of a Nirvana flame. Not bad. We can ask Lord Ye to help it evolve more. This indeed suits you a lot, Xiao Ming," Leica said.
{yet another celestial god. A high god and an immortal god. Plus that Venerable for before. With this line-up, do these brats even need to make a move? Or are you forbidden from getting involved in this world?}
Ji Yoonjun answered. "It's the latter. My mission is to stabilize the world. As long as the replacement for the Heavenly Laws is born, other problems are not something in which I must get involved."
"As for the two of us, without permission of our Lords, we cannot make any move," Leica said.
{No wonder you guys are helping these brats become demigods. Only by becoming half-divine can they survive the Calamities. I don't know what the other humans thought.}
Lu Ming said, "Please help me get stronger. I will definitely repay you in the future."
{You might not even survive. How would I know that you would repay me?}
Lu Ming vowed, "Let the heavens beyond this world as a witness. I promise to fulfill the wish of the fire spirit of the Nirvana Flame Wisp in exchange for granting me power. As long as I survive the calamity, all must be repaid. If I fail, I am willing to give up everything in exchange!"
The Divine Laws, which supersede the Heavenly Laws of every world, bear evidence of the covenant made with the skies beyond this one. You will be destroyed forever if you disobey it.
{You are... Crazy, brat! Hahaha! Even so, I like you. Very well, I will make you strong enough to protect this world. When you have enough power to ascend, I will tell you my wish.
For now, let's cleanse your mortal body and remove all the filth. I will do the same for your lover and brother, who might live forever with you.}
The entire island echoed with the sound of a phoenix's cries. Nirvana Flame's wisp penetrated Lu Ming's flesh, scorching his vessel and wiping off all dirt. The cleansing flame that Lu Ming bestowed on Mo Yuhan and Su Jin was somewhat less potent than the original. Su Jin and Mo Yuhan felt as though their entire body was on fire. Their skin was tingling, yet the agony was little.
Their bodies were heated internally, and all they expelled was unending perspiration along with some mud-like substance.
Lu Ming's circumstance is unique. He is covered in crimson gold fire and lying on the ground, struggling in agony. His entire body was on fire, even his hunting attire. If it were not for the black robe that Lu Shang had given him, he would have been completely nude.
ARGHHHHH!
Su Jin looked at his lover worriedly while feeling weakness all over his body. He wanted to reach out, but Leica stopped him.
Leica said, "Don't touch him for now. The Nirvana Flame is transforming his vessel into that of a god. The process of it is extremely agonizing, and he can only bear all the pain. Once he succeeds, his body itself would be god-class at the very least."
"God-class? A real body of a God that is indestructible?" Su Jin asked while panting.
Leica said, "Yes, focus on yourself first. You have full control of your body. Help the effects of flame push out the filth in your body so your vessel can at least reach demigod class. Yuhan, you as well."
"Yes!"
Su Jin and Mo Yuhan practice meditation and qi flow control to enhance the benefits of the Nirvana Flame within their bodies. Lu Ming was on the ground, writhing in agony, and Lu Shang knelt down next to him.
Lu Shang said, "You can't faint, Ming. Once you faint, even your soul will be burned by the nirvana flame. Survive this and you will gain the body of a god. This is one of the foundations for ascending."
"Urg! I will... do my... best!" Lu Ming said between his screams.
Leica, Lu Shang, and Leica watched the three people undergo their ultimate metamorphosis. One becomes a god, and the other two become demigods. They will stand out from the others, at least in vessels.
Ji Yoonjun commented, "These three are lucky. Even though I just fully transformed my body as a god after entering Vearth and working for a hundred years in exchange for a day in the Nirvana Flame Pool. Even though their transformation of the body wouldn't be pure with just a wisp, a demigod's vessel is a lot more powerful than a mortal one."
"Indeed. With this kind of body, the curse of time on them wouldn't be as potent as what other mortals had experienced. To fight against the monster of that dungeon, this foundation was enough for them to survive. It seems that the fire spirit had taken a liking to A'Ming," Leica said with a gentle smile.

Lu Shang snorted. "That much help should be done. This fool used the Divine Laws as witnessed. That is something even the Sovereign God wouldn't easily do. Even for the Lord God, his only promise with the Divine Laws is the Vows of Marriage with Lord Hei. Aside from that, no other promises were made."
"Hm. Divine Laws are scary. It can even punish sovereign gods who broke the vows and laws," Ji Yoonjun said.
