The magnificent temple stood out from the surging magma. Even if the magma slipped away, there was still a faint flame lingering on its surface.
The surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and the air showed a distortion visible to the naked eye.
The surface of the temple was surrounded by red flames, but the three of them could clearly see a golden shadow flying in it. That golden shadow was inside the Flame Temple. Every time it touched the temple, the walls of the temple would be revealed.
The red runes seemed to imprison it, preventing it from escaping from the temple.
Hermione's brown eyes reflected the Flame Temple. She stared at the golden shadow and said hesitantly: "What is sealed here?"
Zhao Xuan nodded and said: "It is a sun bird, an existence on the same level as the Phoenix. When it grows up, it can be called the supreme fire element."
"Brother Xuan, the purpose of bringing us here is not just to see this bird, right?"
The shock of seeing the temple for the first time gradually disappeared on Ma Hongjun's face, and he scratched his head in confusion and asked Zhao Xuan.
"Shut up first!"
"good!"
After Ma Hongjun shut up, Zhao Xuan used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the temple. Hermione and Ma Hongjun didn't know what Zhao Xuan was doing, so they could only stand quietly beside him.
In less than a moment, they suddenly felt that the world suddenly became quiet. The temple in front of them became more and more brilliant, and the flames in the magma lake became more and more active, as if they were excited, cheering, and welcoming something...
…
Just when they were surprised, a vague voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Is it you little guy? What is your purpose in bringing the temple out?"
An illusory figure slowly walked out of the temple. His whole body was made of dazzling flames, but a few people could clearly distinguish his physical features, especially his eyes, which had a gentle light, as if they were hiding something.
The sea of flames makes people feel his majesty inadvertently.
"This, this is..."
Ma Hongjun stammered and looked at the figure in front of him. The moment this figure appeared, he felt unprecedented pressure, which was an innate repression.
And Hermione's brown eyes flashed with a flash of light and shock. She was quite accomplished in mental power, and she was keenly aware that the aura of the being in front of her was somewhat familiar, and seemed to be somewhat similar to something she had met on Poseidon Island.
.
After thinking for a moment, Hermione's heart was shaken, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at the mysterious figure in front of her. Is this... a god?
Facing a god, Zhao Xuan did not dare to make excuses. He bowed slightly to the God of Fire and replied: "Dear Lord Vulcan, the purpose of my visit this time is to present you with a qualified heir."
"Heir?"
The figure made of flames was startled for a moment, and then he turned his attention to Ma Hongjun, who was looking at him nervously next to Zhao Xuan, and then let out a light sigh.
"Huh? It's interesting. This guy has a pretty good talent, and he also has a fire-attribute spirit. Phoenix? That's pretty good."
Under the gaze of the Vulcan, Ma Hongjun tried his best to remain calm. At the same time, he also understood the purpose of Zhao Xuan bringing him here. At this moment, his heart was filled with tears and he roared excitedly, Brother Xuan, I love you to death.
"but……"
"Tell me first, whose throne you inherited? After our last meeting, I asked the God of Thunder, and the God of Thunder flatly denied having you as his heir."
The Fire God changed his voice and suddenly changed the topic to Zhao Xuan, looking at him with burning eyes.
Zhao Xuan was slightly startled, then took a deep breath and replied calmly: "The boy has never said that he has inherited the throne of God. That is just your own speculation."
After the words fell, the surroundings were extremely quiet.
A gleam of light burst out from the eyes of Vulcan Shadow, and the flames all around seemed to become more active.
"I have divine thoughts, divine blood, divine bones, and divine souls, but I am not the inheritor of the gods. Is it possible that a new god can be born in this world? Interesting, really interesting..."
A low voice sounded around, and gradually became louder. The Vulcan Shadow seemed to be laughing, with deep interest in it.
"Your talent is too strong, which is a good thing and a bad thing. All God's paths are not suitable for you. You have embarked on a new path by yourself. Maybe you will succeed, maybe you will fail, but I look forward to your future,
The God Realm has been peaceful for too long, so it might be good to have a new god join us."
"As for you..."
Vulcan Shadow suddenly cast his gaze on Ma Hongjun, with some satisfaction in his eyes, and asked: "What's your name?"
Ma Hongjun replied hurriedly: "My name is Ma Hongjun."
"Ma Hongjun? Your talent is not weak. I can see that you have some flaws, but fortunately, you have not broken through level 90 to fix your own path. I can give you a chance if you can make up for your flaws.
, I can let you participate in the Nine Vulcan Examinations, but this road is full of dangers. Whether you are willing to do so is entirely up to you. You can think about it and tell me your choice."
After the Vulcan finished speaking, Ma Hongjun subconsciously turned his attention to Zhao Xuan, but Zhao Xuan said calmly: "I brought you here just to give you a choice. As for how you choose, I will not interfere, and no one will."
I would say it’s not your fault, it’s up to you how you want to choose your path.”
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun began to lower his head and ponder. At this moment, his thoughts were a little complicated. He thought of a lot. Among the nine Shrek monsters, he was the worst now. Although Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing had the same soul power as him, one of them was
There is an unprecedented food-based soul master, one of whom is several years younger than him.
He has many shortcomings, he is afraid of hardship and tiredness, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is also lustful, and he is not popular with the girl he loves. If he does not change, he may have nothing to do for the rest of his life.
Maybe he can become a Titled Douluo, but what about his partners? Except for Tang San and Zhao Xuan, who are already on the road to becoming gods, everyone has the talent to become a god, and they have the courage and determination.
He believed that if they stood here and faced this opportunity, they would definitely agree without hesitation.
Thousands of years later, his friends all went to the God Realm, but he could only end up in the human world, and then turned into a handful of loess under the erosion of time. This was not what he wanted to see!
The Shrek Nine Monsters are one, he never wants to be left behind, so he can only catch up!
After thinking about it, Ma Hongjun glanced at Zhao Xuan and Hermione beside him, nodded and then looked at the Vulcan shadow, with a firm look in his eyes.
"I want to participate!"
"you sure?"
"I am sure!"
The Vulcan phantom seemed to smile. He seemed to have seen a transformation and was particularly happy. He blessed softly: "May you be like a flame and live forever!"
Then, a loud sound resounded here!
"Preliminary test for the Ninth Test of the Fire God, drive the martial spirit to devour the sun bird and repair the body's deficiencies! Reward the permission for the Ninth Test of the God of Vulcan! The test begins now!"
After the words fell, red light and shadow suddenly rushed out from the Fire Temple, wrapping Ma Hongjun's body and slowly bringing him into the Fire Temple.
Zhao Xuan frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. The Vulcan would not let anyone die. Since the assessment was like this, it meant that Ma Hongjun had a chance to break through, so he could only place his hope on himself.
Ma Hongjun was in the red light and shadow with a determined look. He was about to enter the temple when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned to Zhao Xuan and shouted: "Brother Xuan, tell Xiangxiang that she must not have a boyfriend. I
Will definitely come back!”
Zhao Xuan was stunned, Hermione was stunned, and even Vulcan Shadow was stunned. The two of them were at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.
Vulcan pondered deeply, wondering if he was too rash to allow such a fat guy with good talent to participate in the assessment.
Looking at Ma Hongjun who had disappeared into the Flame Temple, Hermione said softly: "It seems that Fatty really likes Xiangxiang. How about you help match him up?"
Zhao Xuan's lips twitched, he was not even good at this kind of thing, how could he bring others together.
