by VolareChapter 28 Extra 2: The Sober and Pure Love of the Golden Lion Demon Lord [Part 1]
Twelve thousand years ago.
During the Three Realms War, the Lion King’s wife of the Demon Realm gave birth to a strange-looking nine-headed lion. Devoid of talent, it was abandoned in the wilderness by its parents.
Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star, passing by the Demon Realm by chance, took pity on the little lion and brought it back to Yingzhou Island, later accepting it as his disciple and raising it.
Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star named his disciple Golden Lion.
Golden Lion grew up slowly on Yingzhou Island, following his master, Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star, to cultivate the Immortal Dao.
His talent was limited, and his path to enlightenment was full of setbacks. Even at twenty thousand years old, his magical power was still mediocre. However, Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star did not despise Golden Lion because of this.
Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star often said, “The most taboo thing in cultivation is to force things. Sometimes, it’s best to let nature take its course.”
He naturally knew that Golden Lion’s talent was insufficient, even inferior to that of low-level demon races. However, a cultivator with poor talent does not mean that they cannot attain enlightenment.
As the years passed, one could always attain the Great Dao.
Therefore, Golden Lion did not experience pressure from his master on his path to growth and cultivation. Moreover, he was Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star’s only disciple, so he received all of Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star’s teachings.
However, these secluded master and disciple were forced to separate due to the great war outside.
Invited by the Immortal Emperor, Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star ultimately could not bear to see his own Immortal Clan perish in the war, so he reappeared to help the Immortal Clan.
And his disciple was left on Yingzhou Island.
Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star, unwilling to see his disciple, whom he had raised with his own hands, die tragically on the battlefield, set up a protective array to trap Golden Lion on Yingzhou Island. This move was both to prevent him from encountering disaster and to ensure his safety.
He returned to the Immortal Clan alone, guarding the Immortal Realm.
The Three Realms War had a very wide impact. Elites from all races fought to the death, causing countless slaughters, and the Canglan World was also shattered because of this war.
For a time, lives were devastated, and the world was in turmoil.
It was not until the Heavenly Dao intervened that the war ended, but countless powerful beings, including Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star, fell in this Three Realms War.
The Heavenly Dao was originally in a deep sleep, but was awakened by the great commotion caused by the Three Realms War. When it woke up, it realized that the Canglan World, which had been fine before it fell asleep, had been shattered.
It was almost suffocated by the creatures of the Three Realms.
Were these bastards idle and had nothing better to do? They insisted on starting a war when things were going so well!
Fighting was fine, but the degree of destruction was too great.
No one knew how the Heavenly Dao felt when it looked at the tattered Canglan World!
The creatures of the Three Realms could only feel that the level of spiritual energy after the war was far lower than before, and some blessed lands and caves were destroyed by the war, leaving not even Slag.
The Heavenly Dao remained silent for a long time, and finally chose to consume its source power to repair the devastated Canglan World, so its strength was greatly weakened.
But it only needed to rest well to recover to its original state.
However, the creatures of the Three Realms did not put its mind at ease, making it unable to enter a state of deep sleep and recuperate.
These things originally had nothing to do with Golden Lion, who had lost his master in pain, but Golden Lion could not resist comprehending the Great Dao of Freedom during his cultivation after the war.
Golden Lion, who suddenly lost his master’s protection, was forced to grow up in the face of the cruel reality, slowly becoming a Xiaohaosanxian, and also gained the title of Golden Lion Demon Lord.
He guarded Yingzhou Island, which was left by his master, and also did not tarnish the name of Celestial Immortal of the Pivot Star.
He also stayed on Yingzhou Island from then on, avoiding the world, until he accidentally discovered the Nine Heads Phoenix, the harbinger of the prophecy, who had strayed to the periphery of Yingzhou Island at the age of 38,500.
At that time, the Nine Heads Phoenix was only seven thousand five hundred years old.
The red-haired youth lay lazily on a small boat, letting the waves carry him to a secluded place, his vaguely exposed profile revealing a dazzling beauty.
The sea water crashed against the small boat, splashing droplets onto the youth’s face, and smooth beads of water slowly trickled down that delicate face.
The youth did not use cleansing spells to dry the water droplets, nor did he cast spells to shield himself from the sea water, quietly lying on that leaf of a boat.
Golden Lion stopped for a long time, not stepping forward.
Suddenly, the youth lying on the small boat turned over, revealing his complete face, also allowing Golden Lion, who had stopped outside the island for a long time, to see that face clearly.
The youth had unparalleled beauty.
Snow-white skin, scarlet hair, eyebrows like ink paintings, a face like peach petals.
However, the youth’s expression was gloomy, his long, thick eyelashes drooping, as if he was a little unhappy, not knowing if he had suffered grievances outside.
Thinking of this, Golden Lion could not help but appear and land.
He stood on the youth’s small boat, looking down at the beauty drifting aimlessly.
His heart, which was as calm as water, was pounding wildly, as if it were a bouncing monkey running around.
His sobriety and reason slowly retreated.
The monkey bouncing around in Golden Lion’s heart was banging against the wall, hitting him so hard that he couldn’t maintain his composure.
He seemed to have fallen in love with the youth at first sight.
A glance of ten thousand years, nothing more than this.
The youth, sensing Golden Lion’s presence, opened his eyes and looked at Golden Lion, who had come uninvited.
“Are you going to kill me too? Do it!”
Golden Lion looked blankly at the beautiful youth who glanced at him expressionlessly, as if he didn’t understand what he meant, so he asked curiously.
“…Why should I kill you?”
Hearing this, Changli finally looked directly at the great demon who had not recognized his identity.
His gaze carried a bit of scrutiny and curiosity.
Golden Lion straightened his back, trying to leave the youth who moved his heart with an upright and reliable image, but the youth only glanced a few times before averting his gaze.
Golden Lion didn’t understand and felt puzzled.
The youth, who was being watched by him, said in a cold voice, “I am the harbinger of disaster that everyone in the Three Realms wants to kill.”
Golden Lion understood, the youth was the Nine Heads Phoenix.
Although he heard the youth’s implication, he felt even more sorry for the youth’s tragic experience.
The Nine Heads Phoenix was originally the pride of the Phoenix Clan, and was deeply cultivated and valued by the Phoenix Emperor. He should have become the next Phoenix Emperor of the Phoenix Clan, but because of that prophecy, he became a thorn in the side of all races in the Three Realms.
Although he was far away overseas and did not care about worldly affairs, he had heard the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the sea mention the deeds of the Nine Heads Phoenix, and the Dragon Clan also seemed to be hunting down the Nine Heads Phoenix.
It seemed that the Nine Heads Phoenix had previously suffered many misfortunes, truly a poor little thing with a rough fate.
Golden Lion stretched out his hand towards the youth on the boat.
“I didn’t know before, but now I know, but I still want to invite you to come home with me.”
“???” Changli raised his eyes again, looking with even deeper confusion, as if not understanding why the other party would go to the trouble of inviting him home.
Could it be that he wanted to deceive him home and kill him?
Changli, who didn’t care about his own life or death, grasped the big hand that the other party was reaching out to him.
“Then let’s go.”
Just like that, Golden Lion brought Changli back to Yingzhou Island and let him stay there temporarily.
