Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 606 Calling Starfall

"!!!"

Mo's pupils suddenly shrank, and a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed across his cold face.

Atlantis also opened his eyes wide, and his gentle smile trembled slightly:

"He...heard us talking."

"Wake up, Xingluo."

Erwin growled, flames dancing wildly on his shoulders.

"If you dare to die, I will pull your soul back from the abyss and let you watch me burn the entire church!"

Landis sighed softly, his voice clear and sincere:

"He won't die."

"Remember what he said when he came back, the fire will never go out."

Inside the Flame Hammer Workshop, the dim magic circle was quietly operating, its crimson glow flickering.

Xingluo's figure lay in the center of the formation, covered in a white robe, his pale face like a flawless jade carving.

The divine flame crystal on the chest flickered with terrifying energy fluctuations, and every time it beat, the air would vibrate with a low sound.

Several figures stood around.

Kimira's huge beast eyes stared at the center of the formation, and several heads shook slightly.

The King of Chimera, a monster powerful enough to crush mountains, once terrified many northern empires.

But at this moment, there was a rare hesitation and anxiety on his ferocious face.

"If Xingluo dies... there's still hope for humanity, but can we still survive?"

"No, Xingluo can't die."

The huge body trembled slightly, and the sharp claws dug into the ground fiercely, and the gravel broke between the fingers.

"You guy..."

The Fire Rock Red Bearded Dwarf King glanced at him, took a sip of wine and said in a rough voice:

"As the King of Chimera, what's there to be afraid of?"

A faint fragrance wafted by.

Vivian slowly walked to the front of the magic circle, her tall and slender figure exuding fatal feminine charm.

The necklace made of silver and black gemstones shone mysteriously around her neck, and the delicate decoration on her ankle creaked slightly with her steps, adding a touch of sexiness and danger.

She lowered her eyes and gazed at the falling stars. Her eyes, which were usually deep and majestic, were now as gentle as a dark blue lake.

"What a little fool..."

Although Vivian is actually very old, compared to a race with strong vitality like the dark elves, she is at most just Xingluo's sister.

She sighed softly in her heart, her slender fingers gently brushing the air, and the black and purple shadow power gathered in her palm.

"If it means waking you up, even if it means sacrificing my soul..."

"Xingluo—would you please wake up soon?"

A pleasant and ethereal sound rang out, floating in the workshop like a wind chime.

Selina ran to Xingluo's side lightly, knelt on the ground, and shook his arm vigorously.

She is the queen of the forest elves, petite and delicate, as if she embodies the aura of the entire forest. Even in this depressing atmosphere, her figure is like a touch of vibrant green.

"You bad guy, you made everyone worry like this..."

A light blush appeared on Selina's cheeks, and her pointed ears trembled slightly, as if being brushed by a breeze.

The Fire Rock Red Bearded Dwarf King couldn't help but laugh: "Little girl, he can't hear your coquettishness now."

"I'm not being a spoiled brat!"

Selina turned her head sharply, her face turning even redder, and her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Humph."

The Fire Rock Red Bearded Dwarf King stroked his thick red beard, crossed his arms across his chest, and his rough knuckles turned white from the force.

"If this kid doesn't wake up, I'm going to hit him awake with my flaming hammer!"

"Shut up, dwarf."

Chimera growled softly, his ferocious face revealing sharp fangs.

"Yo? The Chimera King finally dared to speak?"

The Dwarf King glared, and the fire element flickered slightly in the air.

"Don't think I can't see it. You're more afraid than anyone else that he won't wake up."

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the divine flame crystal that replaced Xingluo's heart in his chest suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

boom--

A fiery energy wave spread out from his body, stirring up a gust of wind and shaking the entire workshop.

"Oops!"

Vivian's eyes darkened, and she immediately formed a complex shadow seal to block the energy impact.

"Xingluo... please don't explode..."

Selina's eyes turned red with anxiety, and her pointed ears trembled even more violently.

"What if... he doesn't wake up?"

Kimira lowered his head and his voice trembled slightly. Even though he tried his best to hide it, a hint of fear still revealed itself.

"Can't wake up?"

Vivian shook her head slightly, and her silver earrings swayed gently.

"He is Xingluo, the hope of our race that is not accepted by humans."

"Even if the world perishes, he cannot die."

The flames gradually stabilized.

Selina suddenly opened her eyes wide, her voice trembling:

"He's starting to... breathe!"

Everyone looked over and saw Xingluo's chest rising and falling slightly, and the energy glow of the Divine Flame Crystal slowly flickered, as if a dying fire had been rekindled.

"See, I told you he won't die."

Vivian smiled slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"You bastard, you made me worry for nothing!"

The Dwarf King snorted coldly, turned his back, and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

However, apart from the slight movement of her fingers and the rise and fall of her chest, Xingluo did not wake up.

In this silent night, a nimble figure quietly slipped into the room without attracting anyone's attention.

"……Meow."

She jumped down lightly, her movements soundless, like a piece of snow falling into the water.

She has a pair of cat ears with black outlines, which are slender and lively.

Her eyes were like gems in the dim light, and it was Xi, the little princess of the cat royal family.

As usual, she didn't say anything, but just jumped silently onto Xingluo's chest and blinked.

Then, she naturally curled up in his arms and found the most comfortable position.

“…Meow.”

The tail wrapped around his body, emitting an almost inaudible mental wave.

"You stupid master...why haven't you woken up yet?"

"This princess... is very worried about you..."

“…Meow.”

Xi is a noble royal descendant of the cat clan and never approaches anyone easily.

But she just couldn't help but get closer to this human.

In front of others, she is always cold and arrogant.

But at this moment, in Xingluo's arms, she was like a lazy kitten, curled up quietly, even trembling a little.

She didn't cry, but just licked Xingluo's fingers occasionally, as if to confirm that he was still alive.

"This princess...is not worried."

"But you still owe me three boxes of Moon-Shining Dried Herring... and you hugged me and said 'It smells so good' twice..."

She mumbled softly, but her ears twitched slightly.

At this moment, the night breeze outside the window moved slightly.

A graceful figure came like the wind and left quietly.

Only Mo noticed that a ray of light flashed for a moment on the edge of the window frame.

He did not speak, but just slightly put away his sword and said lightly:

"She is coming."

It’s her—Lily of the Valley.

The Dean of Studies at Luoshen Academy, a "strong woman" that countless students used to shudder at.

She is calm, rational, and has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has trained her students with the most stringent standards.

Now, she has quietly been promoted to a Sky Knight, wearing a pitch-black uniform, with long slender legs, full curves, and skin as smooth as a ripe peach.

But just now, she stood outside the window and looked at Xingluo for three full seconds——

There were complex emotions hidden in his eyes: anxiety, unwillingness, self-blame, and... pity.

Her hand gently grasped the window frame, and in the end, she said nothing and disappeared into the night.

On the top of a distant mountain, lily of the valley stood alone.

The night wind blew her black hair, and her eyes behind her glasses stared at the distant flaming hammer.

She sighed softly.

The voice is not loud, but gentler than anyone else:

"I don't want you to wake up too soon."

"I'm afraid that once you wake up, you'll have to bear the fate of that damned fire again."

As a member of a hidden family, Linglan had naturally heard of the Spark Project. However, he had never expected that this generation's Spark would be Xingluo.

"But I'm more afraid that you'll never wake up."

Inside the workshop.

Xingluo's fingers moved again, and the divine flame crystal on his chest glowed faintly.

Xi opened his eyes slightly and raised his head.

"...Starfall?"

She sniffed the familiar scent on him and murmured:

"Did you hear that? Everyone is waiting for you."

As a cat, he could naturally run into Xingluo's arms without restraint.

Here, there is no light and no sound, only endless nothingness mocking all will.

Xingluo couldn't recall how long he'd slept. Only the faint glow of the Divine Flame Crystal flickered within him, like a dying firefly, poised to go out at any moment. All around him, layer upon layer of spatial cracks, like the fangs of countless monstrous beasts, trapped him in this tiny cage.

On the surface, in the land torn apart by war, they long for the return of their leader.

"Lord Xingluo..."
