AHH …." "Qing Yi was in so much pain that his face twisted, and his voice gradually became hoarse.

The man in front of him was tall and slender with a thin face. However, his entire body was brimming with the noble aura of a noble king! The man slowly opened his mouth, "Xiao Jiu, father has finally waited for you!"

Qing Yi was called Xiao Jiu by the man in front of him!

The man stood up and walked forward, then placed his strong and big hands on Qing Yi's forehead. He comforted his slowly and carefully, "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, everything will change for the better!"

The man's voice seemed to have an indescribable charm to it, the pain on Qing Yi's body also slowly stopped along with the man's gentle caress.

"Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid … "Little Jiu, don't be afraid …"

Fragments of his brain were gradually connected together, and Qing Yi felt like he saw his own appearance from tens of thousands of years ago.

In this gloomy world, the goddess was clad in red, like a flame, she was especially obvious. She held the Five Spirit Orb in her hand and was fighting with the Nether Ghost Emperor, while her own body was covered in battle armor, looking majestic and imposing. The gigantic snake had a pair of wings on her back, allowing her to swim in the clouds.

At that time, its name was not Qing Yi, but...

Soaring Snake!

It was the First Chief Protector that the Goddess had sat on.

During the Great War of Gods and Demons, Soaring Serpents fought alongside the Goddess of Justice, fought alongside the Demonic Ghost Tribes, and suffered severe injuries. The Goddess sacrificed her life for the peace and harmony of the six realms for ten thousand years! As one of the two Chief Protector s that had been left behind by the Goddess, Soaring Snake had been injured during the great battle and had completely disappeared from the world. Before the Goddess had fallen, he could not bear to watch the Soaring Snake die just like that.

Therefore, he sealed the Soaring Snake's soul inside the Green Spirit Bead to nurture it.

It wasn't until ten thousand years after the Soaring Snake's soul was completely repaired did the Soaring Snake finally transform into its new identity, Qing Yi!

As for Soaring Snakes, they were the ninth son of the Azure Dragon Candle Dragon, one of the four great beasts of the Primordial Era. Many people might want to ask why the Candle Dragon was a dragon while Qing Yi was a Soaring Snake.

Don't forget, each one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon has their own good points. The ninth son of Candle Dragon is a Soaring Snake!

Therefore, the man who Qing Yi called father was the head of the four divine beasts, the Azure Dragon of the Primordial Goddess, named Candle Dragon.

"Father... "Father …" Qing Yi slowly lowered his hands, his eyes staring straight into Candle Dragon's eyes, his tone trembling, to the point of being in disbelief, "Father, you're still alive."

During the Great War of Gods and Demons, there was an idiom that was most suitable to describe the situation; one's life was hanging by a thread.

As a supreme goddess, she had no choice but to use her own soul to borrow the Rainbow Spirit Orb in order to seal the Nether Ghost Emperor. The two Chief Protector s beneath the Goddess had used up all of their True Essence to fight with their lives, not to mention that the Xuanwu and Vermillion Bird of the four Divine Beasts had been bewitched by the Nether Ghost Emperor into betraying her.

Candle Dragon was one of the four great beasts, so the responsibility on his shoulders was also much heavier. In the process of saving the White Tiger, he had been ambushed by the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, and even in death, he had heavily injured the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Goddess was in a critical situation. She could only ignore Teng She, while the others could only feel heartbroken and helpless!

After the goddess had refined the Multicolored Stone and sealed the Nether Ghost Emperor, the Five Spirit Orbs dispersed until nothing was left. Only the Green Spirit Bead nurtured the soul of the Soaring Snake warmly, and the Purple Spirit Orb suppressed the Vermillion Bird. As the Pearl fell into the hands of the Yun Clan, the Nine Palace Mountain and River Diagram was split into five parts.

At that time, the refining array diagram was in the hands of Candle Dragon, and because of this refining array diagram, Candle Dragon used his last remaining soul to set up the Cosmic Academy, so that those items that were tainted with Evil Qi would be purified by the Hidden Treasure Pagoda!

All these years, the spirit energy that was used to set up the Hidden Treasure Pagoda had come from the remnant thoughts of the Candle Dragon, even if it was slightly eroded by the evil energy.

But Candle Dragon had been waiting.

He knew that his Little Jiu would definitely once again stand in front of him.

"Xiao Jiu, your father is already dead. All you can see now is a wisp of your father's will."

"Father, it was Xiao Jiu who was incompetent. Back then, he did not manage to protect Father completely, and instead wasted Master protecting me with the Green Spirit Bead."

That year's situation was an unerasable nightmare in the hearts of all the participants. In that situation, who could care about anyone else! Father, Bai, Black Turtle … Even the Goddess could not protect herself.

Every time he recalled the scene from ten thousand years ago, Qing Yi felt as if his heart was pierced by needles.

Candle Dragon laughed, "This is not your fault. At that time, only you were slightly injured, and the Green Spirit Bead were still able to recuperate. Even if it was in vain, Master could not do anything about it …"

In the end, that great battle was too brutal …

The other Chief Protector beneath the Goddess, Bai, died on the spot!

When Candle Dragon saw the self-reproach of Soaring Snake, his heart also felt endless pain, sometimes, death was simpler than living, because, when dead, one would not know anything, one would close their eyes, and there would be no pain or sadness, but the living would have to bear the responsibility of having their bones and flesh separated, the responsibility of righteousness.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Whether you die or live doesn't have much of a relationship. As long as you are able to support the heavens while you are alive, even if you die, you will have a clear conscience. Moreover, Father will always live in your heart, won't he? " Candle Dragon's eyes were filled with endless love.

"Father is about to disappear from this world. There are some things father needs to personally tell you to be at ease!"

"This is also the reason why father can wait for ten thousand years without dying."

Because of his obsession, because of his loyalty to his goddess, because of his fatherly love for his son, and because of his duty to this goddess to protect the world …

"What is it?" Qing Yi also became nervous.

Candle Dragon's gaze drifted into the distance, as if he was lost in thought, and he slowly explained with a hoarse voice.

"Ten thousand years ago, when the Goddess refined her flesh and burned her soul to seal him, many people thought that the Goddess disappeared from this world at the same time. In fact, there was no such thing as a secret, only our Azure Dragon clan knew about it.

"The goddess is not dead …"

"Hiss …"

The goddess was not dead!

Qing Yi was so shocked that his mouth gaped wide open, "The goddess is not dead!"

Candle Dragon nodded his head, "Back then when the goddess refined the world, her body and soul did indeed suffer heavy injuries, but it wasn't to the point where her soul would dissipate. In a rush, the Azure Dragon clan and the entire clan gathered the goddess's soul, nurturing her in this world, or perhaps it should be said that during these tens of thousands of years, the goddess lived in another form!"
