Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Following that, the three of them entered the water in succession.

The water of the God Jade Cold Pool was so cool that even Chu Qin, with the Body of the God-King, could feel the cold ice power contained within.

"Chu Qin, there's something odd about this pool's water," Lan Jing'er inquired.

"That's because this is the unique Spring of Life," Chu Qin lied deliberately.

"Yes!" the Life God King nodded, "The Spring of Life, with prolonged soaking, can keep you forever young, Jing'er, and also enhance the Soul Power in your body."

"Then I shall soak a little longer!" Lan Jing'er said with a light smile.

Just then, Lan Jing'er's expression changed slightly, "Chu Qin, Sister Life, why do I feel so hot!"

As she spoke, Lan Jing'er clutched her belly.

"This is normal, Jing'er, don't worry!" Chu Qin said with a smile. He knew that this must be the result of the Phoenix Fire and the phoenix flame jointly combating the God Jade Cold Pool.

"I can't stand it, I'm burning up!" Lan Jing'er shouted, and in an instant, her body was set ablaze, with flames of two colors—one vermillion and one golden-red!

Seeing this, Chu Qin immediately took out a Deity Sealing Needle and entered Lan Jing'er's body. Then, he gently lifted Lan Jing'er, who had fainted.

"Life, what's going on? Why is Jing'er's body burning?" Chu Qin said with a pained heart upon seeing Lan Jing'er in this state.

"Don't worry, it's a normal reaction!" Before the Life God King could answer, a sweet and enchanting voice rang out from within Lan Jing'er.

"Phoínix, is that you?" Chu Qin asked, surprised.

"Yes!" Phoínix nodded, "Chu Qin, you and the Life God King need to protect her body. The moment when the Phoenix Fire and the Phoenix Fire from the Phoínix are expelled, Jing'er's Soul Power will be reduced to zero, and her body will wither!"

"To zero?" Chu Qin's brow furrowed.

"It's only temporary!" Phoínix replied, "There's no time to waste. Start now!"

"Alright!" Chu Qin immediately utilized Divine Power to make Lan Jing'er float between him and the Life God King, and then the two of them protected Lan Jing'er's body with the Life Divine Power and the Dragon's Blessing!

It could be seen that as Lan Jing'er continued to soak in the water of the God Jade, the Phoenix Fire and the phoenix flame on her body grew fainter and eventually extinguished completely.

"We did it!" Chu Qin and the Life God King whispered in delight.

However, the very next moment their expressions changed drastically as the flames that had been extinguished reignited, becoming even more vigorous than before!

Especially the Phoenix Fire, which burned intensely.

"What's going on!" Chu Qin also exclaimed in surprise.

"It's her Phoenix Bloodline!" Phoínix replied, "The Phoenix Bloodline sensed the disappearance of the Phoenix Fire and activated protection mode."

"What now?" asked the Life God King.

"It seems this is fate," Phoínix sighed lightly, and immediately a vermillion glow surged from within Lan Jing'er, where the soul of the Phoínix appeared.

"Undying Holy Radiance!" The next second, following Phoínix's words, a visible vermillion flame was injected back into Lan Jing'er's body.

In that moment, the Phoenix Fire and the phoenix flame from the Phoínix once again reached a state of balance.

Just like before, the two flames gradually extinguished!

This was a complete extinguishment with no resurgence, and Lan Jing'er's Soul Power turned to zero as well.

Chu Qin quickly caught Lan Jing'er, who was about to fall into the pool, in his arms.

"Jing'er's internal flames have disappeared!" Chu Qin said, excited after peering through the Eyes of the Illusion God.

"Yes, she has been saved!" Phoínix said with a relieved smile, "During this time, you two must continually inject Divine Power into her to prevent her body from weakening!"

"Sure!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Phoínix, you are going to die, aren't you?" said the Life God King with a slight sadness, "The moment you leave Jing'er's body, it is destined that you can no longer return!"

"I have already died once, so what's another death, except that this time I cannot be revived!" Phoínix seemed very open-minded.

"Wait, Phoínix, I remember you still have one chance of rebirth!" the Life God King replied.

"You mean finding a powerful body for possession," Phoínix replied. "Unfortunately, first, there's none available, and second, given my condition, I can't perform the possession!"

"What if that body has no soul?" the Life God King asked.

"How could that be possible!" Phoínix replied with slight surprise.

"Chu Qin!" the Life God King turned to Chu Qin. "Would you be willing to make a sacrifice?"

"Hmm?" Chu Qin's face changed slightly.

"I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourself. Have you forgotten that inside your God Crystal, there is a powerful Divine Beast Egg!" the Life God King said. "The soul of the Divine Beast Egg is extremely weak, perhaps sufficient for the Phoínix's survival, but you must break the God Crystal!"

Phoínix's tone contained a hint of joy. "If it truly exists, perhaps it's worth a try?"

"Phoínix!" the Life God King turned to the Phoínix. "Although you have helped us save Jing'er's life, the value of the Divine Beast Egg and Chu Qin's God Crystal far exceeds Jing'er's life!"

Under normal circumstances, Chu Qin would surely have objected to this statement, but he saw what the Life God King was aiming for.

"Yes, I know!" Phoínix nodded. "State your terms!"

"I want you to swear lifelong loyalty to Chu Qin!" the Life God King said.

"The noble Phoínix should not bow to others!" Phoínix said.

"Don't you see what kind of body this is?" the Life God King asked. Saying this, she gave Chu Qin a meaningful look.

Chu Qin immediately understood, took out the black God Crystal, and crushed it in his hand!

The moment the Black God Crystal shattered, a golden egg adorned with beautiful magic runes appeared in the palm of Chu Qin!

"This is!" Phoínix exclaimed in surprise. "The egg of a Supreme Divine Beast!"

"What say you, Phoínix? Do you agree to my condition?" the Life God King asked, with a flash of surprise, then quickly asked.

"Alright!" Phoínix nodded. "Bowing my head once is not unacceptable."

"Chu Qin, I, Phoínix, swear by the Heavenly Tribulation, to loyally serve you for all eternity. Should I break this oath, let me perish under the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder!" Phoínix, looking at Chu Qin, spoke earnestly.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded. At this moment, Chu Qin had fully understood the Life God King's intention; she wanted Phoínix, this powerful force, to stay by his side!

Now, with the Divine Realm in need of manpower, Phoínix's loyalty was far more precious than the Black God Crystal.

After all, the Black God Crystal could at most grant power at the peak of the Divine King Level, whereas Chu Qin had already reached the Late Period of the God-King Level. Plus, with the power that was lost along the way, the Black God Crystal was no longer very effective!

This deal was too advantageous.

"Master, may I enter now?" Phoínix asked.

Chu Qin was momentarily startled before replying, "Yes, come on in!"

With Chu Qin's permission, Phoínix's spirit transformed into a flame-red light and surged into the Divine Beast Egg.

The Divine Beast Egg was instantly enveloped by the Phoínix's flame and ultimately vanished into thin air.

"Eh, Life, why is there no movement from the Phoínix?" Chu Qin asked.

"Don't worry, she has successfully taken over the Divine Beast's body!" the Life God King replied. "It won't be long before she hatches out, and then you'll have another super powerful ally by your side."

"It's just..." the Life God King's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qin asked.

"I didn't expect that this Divine Beast Egg is actually the egg of a legendary Supreme Divine Beast!" the Life God King replied.
