The Di fish's flames, which were originally attacking Dian Dian's mindscape and trying to devour the totemic flames, started to crack wider and wider. The Di tribe's totemic flames were like warriors who saw the light at the end of the tunnel. They tried their best to break free.
The battle started again, and this time, it was even more intense than before.
Dian Dian had just started to feel better when a sharp pain came from her festering wound. It spread throughout her body, but she clenched her teeth and didn't scream.
Was it because of the fire seed's rejection?
No, it wasn't because of the fire seed's rejection. That ball of flames wasn't the reason for all this. Her condition worsened because the two totemic powers in her body started to fight again!
In the Di tribe, the difference between those who were sick and those who weren't sick, no, those who were seriously ill and those who weren't, was that the two totemic powers in the former couldn't coexist and were fighting against each other, like Dian Dian. The latter, on the other hand, were still in a stable condition, like He Bian and the others.
Right now, the two totemic powers were fighting against each other, causing her condition to worsen. However, they weren't pushing her towards death. Instead, they were fighting back. They were fighting to keep Dian Dian away from death.
He Bian, who had been staring at Dian Dian nervously, wanted to go closer when he saw Dian Dian in pain. However, Gui Ze stopped him.
"Don't panic. It's not a bad thing."
He Bian couldn't feel it, but Gui Ze, as a shaman, could clearly feel that the Di tribe's totemic flames were growing stronger.
"It's not a bad thing? But Dian Dian doesn't look like she's fine! " He Bian panicked. If it wasn't for the fact that they had to merge their fire seed, he would have probably rushed up and attacked Shao Xuan.
"Wait there!" Dian Dian suddenly said. Her voice was suppressed as if she was in extreme pain. However, she was determined and didn't allow He Bian to refute her.
Hence, He Bian could only continue to stand there, anxious and uneasy. He kept staring at Dian Dian, afraid that something might happen. With Dian Dian's current condition, if she couldn't be treated, she would die in about ten days. However, she still had ten days. Every day counted. Could she not even last ten days?
However, no matter how anxious He Bian was, he couldn't go against Dian Dian's decision.
After Dian Dian shouted, she didn't have time to pay attention to He Bian anymore. Right now, in Dian Dian's mindscape, the two totemic flames were fighting fiercely. What Dian Dian found strange was that the Di tribe's totemic power in her body was much stronger than before. Other than when she first awakened, she had never felt such active totemic power!
Ever since she had awakened, her totemic power had always been weak. She had been forced back by the Di fish's totemic flames. But now, she was like a terminally ill person who had suddenly returned to her peak state. She was getting stronger and stronger as she fought!
It was simply unbelievable!
There was another thing that surprised Dian Dian, and that was the ball of white flames in her sea of consciousness. The ball of white flames was right beside her, but even though the Di tribe's and the Di fish's flames were fighting fiercely, none of them attacked that ball of white flames.
Logically speaking, if a power that didn't belong to her tribe entered her body, she would be strongly rejected. Just like the battle in her mindscape, that ball of white flames was also from another tribe, but it didn't reject her. On the contrary, Dian Dian even felt that when this ball of white flames existed, the totemic flames in her mindscape became more active.
However, she didn't have the energy to pay attention to that ball of white flames right now. She focused all her energy on fighting back.
The Di tribe's totemic flames in her mindscape were one with Dian Dian. Dian Dian's thoughts could also affect the totemic flames.
Ever since her illness had acted up, every time Dian Dian tried to use her totemic power, she would feel more and more pain. But this time, Dian Dian didn't care anymore. If she didn't fight, she would die. She might as well fight!
As her totemic power increased again, the totemic patterns under her festering skin were no longer obvious. They were even hard to notice because they were covered by her wounds. However, some brown blood started to seep out of her festering wounds.
This kind of scene had happened before. Every time he had a serious illness, this kind of situation would occur. However, compared to the past, the bleeding rate now was much faster.
In the stone vat, the clear water at the bottom of the vat started to turn murky. Not only was the color of the water changing, but there were also small pieces of flesh falling off the festering wounds in the water.
The three piranhas in the stone vat started to jump around like headless flies the moment the blood started to seep out of the vat. They banged against the walls of the stone vat, making loud banging sounds. Soon, the banging sounds became softer and softer. The time between banging sounds also became longer and longer until there were no more banging sounds.
He Bian craned his neck and looked into the vat. All he saw were three fishes with their bellies turned up on the surface of the stone vat. Their blood-red eyes were wide open, and he could even see their fine teeth in their open mouths.
Did they … die just like that?
Shao Xuan could feel the two powers in Dian Dian's body fighting against each other. He wanted to retreat and leave the battlefield, but the moment he did so, the Di tribe's totemic flame in Dian Dian's mindscape became weak. When Shao Xuan brought the white flame closer, the Di tribe's totemic flame became active again.
After this happened twice, Shao Xuan knew that the white flame could make the totemic flame more active, and the totemic power would become stronger as well.
The white flame came from another power in Shao Xuan's body. It was the light shield that enveloped the totemic flame. Its power was similar to the fire seed, but it was never rejected by another tribe's fire seed. This had happened in the Drumming tribe, Rain tribe, and other tribes before. Now, Dian Dian's body was proof of this.
The totemic power came from the fire seed. If the fire seed didn't reject this power, the totemic power wouldn't reject it either. On the contrary, every time this power was used, no matter if it was the Yanjiao's totemic flame or the totemic flame of another tribe, it would become more active. Shao Xuan had some guesses as to how the rain fell on the Rain tribe back then.
How did the Drumming tribe's water moon stones turn into water moon stones in Shao Xuan's hands? How did the water sun stones turn into water sun stones? All these questions were related to that power, but Shao Xuan still didn't understand what it was.
Shao Xuan controlled the white flame and moved it closer to the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame. With every inch it moved, the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame became stronger. On the other hand, the Di fish's totemic flame became weaker.
Shao Xuan didn't dare to let the white flame rush into the totemic flame all at once. That might cause an uncontrollable situation. He could only test it out bit by bit. This white flame was like a giant hand pushing the tides of the battle. Under this push, the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame started to fight back.
As Shao Xuan pushed the white flame forward, the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame also started to change.
"Retreat!" Dian Dian suddenly said.
She didn't want Shao Xuan to immediately retract the white flame. Instead, she wanted Shao Xuan to move the white flame away from the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame. Now, the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame wanted to play a game of cat and mouse!
No, it should be said that this was Dian Dian's own plan. The Di fish wanted to swallow her totemic flame, but now, with Shao Xuan's intervention, the situation had changed. Dian Dian decided to use the same method on the Di fish's totemic flame!
Shao Xuan could even feel the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame in Dian Dian's mindscape. It was filled with anger and killing intent.
The Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame wrapped around the Di fish's totemic flame.
Swallow!
The Di fish's totemic flame wanted to fight back, but the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame was too strong. It didn't give the Di fish any chance to escape. The Di fish's totemic flame was like a predator that swallowed its prey whole.
Shao Xuan didn't leave immediately. Instead, he continued to wait at the side. He waited for the Di Mountain tribe's totemic flame to strengthen until the situation was irreversible.
At the same time, Shao Xuan realized that the totemic flame in Dian Dian's mindscape was changing!
The Di tribe and the Di fish shared the same totemic flame because of the conflict between their fire seeds. Whoever had the upper hand would have the totemic flame tilted towards them.
At this moment, on the human face, the two simple lines that represented the eyes started to thicken in the middle. It was as if the closed eyes were opening!
The human face started to grow bigger. The fins around the human face started to sway, and the fish tail started to sway as well!
Amidst the flames, the totemic flame, which was originally a fish swallowing a human face, started to change back to its original form. The human face grew bigger, and the fins started to shrink. The fish mouth started to appear on the other side of the human face, and it slowly disappeared like a weathered stone.
The process of swallowing might take a long time, but the totemic flame was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The swallowing process was accelerating. The Di fish's totemic flame was taking back the power it had stolen from the Di tribe.
