Although Xinghuo Shen tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, Chu Ci and others could still hear the sadness in it.
An old friend who had been missing for thousands of years would suddenly appear in front of them one day. If it were them, they would be extremely sad.
Zhuoyang sighed softly. When he was born, the God of Fire in the God Realm was already the God of Fire today. Therefore, he had never seen the previous Fire God, so he could not understand the feelings of the Starfire God.
The same goes for everyone else. If Starfire God hadn't informed them, they wouldn't know the identity of this divine corpse, so naturally they wouldn't have much emotion.
But they can understand Starfire God. What Starfire God needs most now is some quiet time.
After a moment of silence, Chu Ci looked under the sarcophagus.
On the ground under the sarcophagus, there is a carved magic circle, which continuously extracts the escaped flame power of the corpse in the sarcophagus and transmits it to other places for processing.
Different from normal divine power, without the control of the master and the blessing of the god, the breath of this flame divine power is very weak, and it is almost undetectable from a distance.
Chu Ci sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose. This weak breath of divine power was somewhat similar to the dry air in the dry stone.
"It seems that the corpse of the previous Flame God is the source of the dry stone in the Temple of Life, and their dry energy is also extracted from the corpse."
Chu Ci observed this magic circle. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this magic circle looked familiar.
Luo Jiuyou was also observing from the side, with a trace of confusion on his face.
The Seven Colored God silently observed the man in the sarcophagus and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, it has been thousands of years since the death of the previous Flame God. Why is the body still so complete?"
"It's the sarcophagus." Zhuoyang looked at the sarcophagus and said, "It should be the credit of this sarcophagus that this corpse can remain intact for such a long time without corrupting and without giving birth to false gods."
Chu Ci nodded: "I have never seen the material of this sarcophagus. If I guess correctly, this is probably a product of the research of the Temple of Life. They know false gods very well, and maybe they know how to suppress the corpses of gods from producing false gods.
This preserves the integrity of the body."
"There's just one thing I'm curious about. Why did the divine power in the corpse of the previous Flame God escape for so long?"
After the death of a god, the divine power in the body loses the control of the god and will gradually escape, either giving birth to false gods or returning to heaven and earth.
The time it takes for the divine power to dissipate depends on the divine power in the body of the spirit. The more divine power there is in the body, the longer it takes for it to dissipate.
What puzzled Chu Ci was that the amount of divine power of the upper gods was huge, but it would only last for a thousand years at most.
However, thousands of years have passed since the death of the previous generation of Flame Gods, and the divine power still exists in the body, and there is still a lot of it.
Everyone also frowned, obviously unable to figure out the key to this.
"Do you think the death of the previous Flame God was related to the Temple of Life?" the Seven-Colored God suddenly said.
Everyone was startled.
Zhuoyang frowned and said: "Impossible! Where does the Temple of Life have the ability to kill a high-level god who is close to the peak? Besides, when the previous generation of Flame God fell, it is not certain whether there was a Temple of Life."
"That's right, if the Temple of Life had this ability, they wouldn't have been hiding in the Yanhuang State." Chu Ci agreed: "I'm more inclined to think that they accidentally discovered the corpse of the previous generation Flame God, and then used the corpse.
Use the divine power within to create dry air and dry stones.”
The Seven-Colored God thought about it for a while. With Dulong's strength, he could deal with ordinary gods. It was impossible to kill the higher god. Even if a hundred more Dulongs came, they wouldn't be able to hurt the upper god.
After a while, Star Vulcan slowly straightened up, and the expression on his face returned to its usual serious look.
He looked at the man in the sarcophagus and said solemnly: "Everyone, I want to give him a ride."
"As it should be."
Everyone nodded.
The four people from Chu Ci walked to the four corners of the sarcophagus and occupied the four directions. Starfire God stood next to the sarcophagus in the middle.
The five people moved their divine power together and responded to each other.
In an instant, the wind howled, and the vast divine power filled the entire area.
"Everything must die, and so do gods. Yesterday and evening we were both gods, and now we are in yin and yang..."
The five people from Chuci had solemn expressions, their lips and teeth clasped together, and their melodious singing echoed throughout the place.
Gods are not human beings, and there is no such thing as a funeral. The best destination for gods after death is to return to the space between heaven and earth and become a part of heaven and earth.
But because of the characteristics of the corpse of the gods, this process is very long.
However, the gods also have a way to shorten this process, which is called the funeral song of heaven and earth.
This technique requires more than three gods to perform. It uses the divine power of the three gods to activate the divine power in the corpse, accelerate the dissipation of the divine power, and degrade the corpse.
The more gods there are, the faster the corpse will degrade and eventually dissipate and return to the world between heaven and earth.
"...What is the way to die? It is to support the body between heaven and earth."
When the last song fell, a strong light erupted from the sarcophagus, and a storm transformed by divine power spread out in all directions!
Everyone did not retreat and faced this storm of divine power.
In this storm of divine power, the divine power in everyone's bodies recovered at an astonishing speed.
This is the last gift from the gods to their companions.
When the divine storm disappeared, the funeral also came to an end.
As everyone watched, the corpse of the previous Flame God turned into little bits of light and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
Starfire God stretched out his slightly trembling palms, gently touched the light spots, and said softly: "Lord Yanshen, take care."
"call!"
In the void, a flame suddenly flashed and disappeared quickly.
The light dissipated and there was no one in the sarcophagus.
Starfire God fell silent.
After a long time, he turned around and bowed deeply to Chu Ci and others: "Thank you all."
Zhuoyang turned aside and said dissatisfiedly: "I am the God of Zhuoyang under Lord Yanshen. The previous generation of Yanshen was also the God of Flames. Why should I be so indifferent."
"Yes, every high-level god is an important force in our divine world, and their corpses should not be used by villains." Chu Ci smiled and said, "Even if you don't tell us, we will bury him."
Starfire God did not speak, but nodded slightly.
"Without the body of the previous Flame God, this magic circle is useless." The Seven Colored God looked at the magic circle under the sarcophagus.
The light of the magic circle has dimmed, and it has obviously stopped operating.
Chu Ci's eyes moved and he said, "God of Starfire, can the sarcophagus be moved? I want to see the complete appearance of this formation."
"Please." Starfire God moved out of the way.
Chu Ci stepped forward and used his divine power to move the sarcophagus away.
Without the sarcophagus, the magic circle underneath finally revealed its complete appearance.
Looking at the complete formation structure, Chu Ci finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from.
Raising his head, Chu Ci looked at Luo Jiuyou, who happened to also look up.
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
