"That Parasol Sacred Tree is said to be the seed of an ancient Sacred Tree. Even after ten thousand years, it will not wither.
However, the aftermath of the Battle of the Gods destroyed the entire Southern Wasteland Swamp and burned down the Parasol Sacred Tree.
There was also a saying that after the Phoenix couple died, the Parasol Sacred Tree could not survive on its own. It withered and died, turning into black ashes.
All in all, this sad legend was passed down from then on.
In order to thank and commemorate the Phoenix couple, the later generations have been extolling their legend.
Many years after the Battle of the Gods, the continent returned to peace, and the various races rested.
By chance, when a middle-aged couple was exploring the ruins of the Southern Wasteland Swamp, they coincidentally found two gems.
Those were two heart-shaped gems. Legend has it that they were transformed from the Phoenix couple's sacred heart.
The couple experienced life and death dangers in the Southern Wasteland Swamp and finally escaped from it. They stopped here and lived in seclusion.
At that time, this was just a small village. After the middle-aged couple learned about the legend of the Phoenix, they built a pagoda here and worshipped the two sacred hearts.
Since then, more and more people gathered here, taking root here and multiplying.
After hundreds of years, the middle-aged couple was long gone. However, the pagoda and sacred heart remained forever.
The once small village had developed into the bustling Southern Wasteland City. It became a place that adventurers had to pass through to enter the Southern Wasteland Swamp.
Adventurers from all over the world, after learning about the legend of the Phoenix, would go to the Sacred Tower to worship and pray for the Phoenix to bless them so that they could enter and exit the Southern Wasteland Swamp smoothly. "
When the Southern Wasteland City Lord spoke until here, he paused for a moment, and his face revealed a touch of anger.
"Originally, this was a good thing. People of all races thanked and worshipped the Phoenix, commemorating it forever.
However, there were always some despicable people with evil intentions, vainly trying to seize the legendary Phoenix sacred heart.
Therefore, three thousand years ago, there were several fights and fights in the Sacred Tower, which led to the Sacred Tower almost being destroyed.
After those few incidents, the Southern Wasteland City Lord at that time ordered the Sacred Tower's entrance to be closed forever. Everyone could only watch and worship outside the tower, and could not enter the tower to worship.
Later on, at an unknown time, the demonic beasts in the Southern Wasteland Great Lake would rush out of the Great Lake every few years and madly attack the Southern Wasteland City.
The demonic beasts couldn't speak human language, so no one knew why they went crazy and why they attacked the Southern Wasteland City.
However, the previous City Lords all speculated that the reason why the Demonic Beasts attacked the Southern Wasteland City was probably related to the Divine Bird Phoenix's Sacred Heart.
Perhaps those demonic beasts wanted to seize the Saint's Heart to increase their own strength.
Or perhaps, they saw the Phoenix as their ancestor and wanted to take back their ancestor's inheritance.
Furthermore, in the previous beast hordes, the strongest beast leader was only at Sky Origin Stage.
I don't know why, but a Demon Emperor at the Soul Refinement Stage actually appeared in this beast tide … "
The Southern Wasteland City Lord had finally finished his story, and his tone was somewhat complicated and emotional.
After listening, Ji Tianxing finally understood the whole story.
Although he knew that the Southern Wasteland City Lord's story was not complete, there were still some loopholes and parts that could not withstand scrutiny.
But after all, this was a myth and legend passed down after the Great War of the Gods. No one had personally experienced it, and it was all passed down by word of mouth. How could there be no omissions and flaws?
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said to the Southern Wasteland City Lord: "This myth is indeed emotional. The Divine Bird Phoenix is indeed worthy of being a sacred beast. It has the Sacred Heart to help the world and to love all races.
The story you just told may not be complete and true, but it still has a high degree of credibility.
Moreover, it has been thousands of years, no one can find out the truth, so there's no need to pursue anything further. "
Xiao Han's belief in this myth was obviously not as high as Ji Tianxing's.
He nodded slightly and said with a solemn expression: "These myths, everyone should just listen to them. There's no need to delve deeper."
The Southern Wasteland City Lord could only cup his hands in obeisance and no longer say anything.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a while before he made up his mind and said to the Southern Wasteland City Lord: "Previously, when the Heavenly Eagle destroyed the Holy Tower, I didn't see any Sacred Heart.
I chased it into the Great Swamp, and after killing it, I didn't find anything either.
If you really think there's a Sacred Heart in the Holy Tower, there's no harm in sending people to look for it in the ruins. "
Hearing him say this, Xiao Han and the Southern Wasteland City Lord all revealed shocked expressions and exclaimed in disbelief.
"What? Young Master Ji, you … actually killed that Heavenly Eagle? That was an expert at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Refining Realm! "
"Lord Ji can actually kill the Heavenly Eagle? You really are the number one genius of our race, a peerless genius! "
"Lord Ji has such extraordinary strength at such a young age. In the future, you will definitely be a peerless hero, or even a supreme being!"
Everyone was shocked from the bottom of their hearts and praised Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said a few modest words.
He looked at the Southern Wasteland City Lord with a solemn expression and said in a solemn tone: "Facts have proven that the Holy Tower has experienced thousands of years and is no longer the Holy Tower of the past.
Legend has it that the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix that was worshipped in the Holy Tower may have disappeared many years ago, or it may have never existed.
After this, I feel that you don't need to rebuild the Holy Tower anymore.
That ancient mythical story was rarely mentioned, and almost no one went to worship it anymore.
On the contrary, the Demon Beasts of the Southern Wasteland Great Lake have always been thinking about the legendary Sacred Heart of the Phoenix and constantly attacking the Southern Wasteland City. This is not a good thing. "
Hearing him say this, the Southern Wasteland City Lord nodded in agreement: "That's right, Lord Ji is right. This subordinate will not rebuild the Holy Tower.
That legend is only a legend and will eventually disappear with the passage of time.
But the people of our Southern Wasteland City have always been living in the shadow of the Demon Beast Tide, which is a real harm.
The Holy Tower has been destroyed, and that legend will also be forgotten.
This subordinate believes that the Demon Beasts of the Southern Wasteland Great Lake will not attack the Southern Wasteland City in the future … "
This matter was settled.
The Southern Wasteland City Lord sent people to prepare a banquet to warmly entertain Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han to express the gratitude of the people of the city.
But Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han refused. The two of them did not care about this kind of false reputation.
Moreover, the city was in a mess. The people had not settled down and the work to clean up the aftermath had not been completed.
The two of them only asked for two secret rooms and each went to meditate and rest.
After a night of meditation, the two of them recovered their magic power and became full of energy again.
The next morning, the Golden Mountain King and hundreds of warriors of the Earth Spirit Race under his command also completed the reconstruction of the Southern Wasteland City and returned to the Sword World to rest.
The Southern Wasteland City that was still devastated last night was restored to its original state in the morning, as if nothing had happened.
