I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

Chapter 1317: 18.155 First Grey Star - What is inside the biggest volcano?

The three brats in the group were made to clean themselves by taking a bath. It was an experience of a lifetime to bathe in a frozen magma river that was being used as a heater. The three children could not help but cast a sidelong glance toward Hei Anjing. Gazing at the image of his cousin, Mo Yuhan's expression was as dreamy as his recollections.

Lu Ming asked, "Bro, is that person truly Lord Mo? That's his real body?"

"For some reason, he changed a lot. No, he is colder than before. He looked dazed a lot in his former vessel, but now he would smile playfully, but his eyes were smiling. It was totally different from his expressionless version before," Su Jin said. He felt uncomfortable around Hei Anjing, as he was like a figure that he had never met in his previous life. Humans have always been afraid of the unknown.

Suddenly, the Nirvana Flame Wisp inside Lu Ming's body, who had been unexpectedly quiet ever since the God of Destruction had arrived, finally spoke up to these three.

{Don't worry. Existence with this kind of strength doesn't care much about mortals. Moreover, a few of you are connected by blood and relationship. This Venerable One wouldn't do anything to harm you. He is helping you instead. Especially you, Mo Yuhan.

Brat, don't you know how big the opportunity is before you!? This is the Eternal Ice. A few of the Supreme Ice that ever existed. This Senior is alive. He is ignoring you.}

Lu Ming, Su Jin and Mo Yuhan were dumbfounded. They had never expected that there would be something in this world where the ice is alive and sentient.

Su Jin looked at the ice dome with wary eyes and said, "I thought I was just seeing things. So it's really alive."

"How is that possible?" Mo Yuhan, fearless, knocked at the ice dome they were in and started talking without fear.

Knock. Knock.

"Hello, Senior Ice! Are you there!? Moshi-moshi~" Mo Yuhan said.

All of a sudden, his mouth was blocked by a ball of snow and an ethereal voice lingered in their ears.

{Nosy brat. Meditate properly or you will turn into an ice popsicle. You are also the child who wields the water. My existence can greatly increase your strength. As for that child of fire and the little phoenix fire, what you need exists inside the volcano. My master will bring you there to help you increase your affinity with fire elements and increase the strength of your Nirvana Flames.

You should finish your bath, as my master is about to leave.}

Lu Ming quickly cleaned himself up in the tub and dashed back to the group. Hei Anjing snatched Lu Ming's back collar and threw him into the crater opening of the active volcano they were in, just as Mo Yuhan and Su Jin had predicted.

Mo Yuhan exclaimed, "Oh Fuck! My brother threw A'Ming inside the Volcano."

{Don't worry. He has the Phoenix Nirvana Flame with him. He won't be burned by ordinary flames, such as volcano magma. Plus, the master is with him. In this world, the only being capable of melting me is Lord Ye.}

Su Jin asked, "Lord Ye? Are you talking about his husband?"

{Yes. His Hell Flames possessed strength equal to mine, and that thing (hell fire) is a bastard. Hmp! Anyway, you two should absorb more of my aura to increase your affinity with ice and water. Stop being noisy. I'm going back to sleep.}

Mo Yuhan and Su Jin did as they were told and meditated in the warm pool. The white fog emitted by the ice dome was absorbed by the two of them. As for Hei Anjing, he looked like he had fun throwing Lu Ming inside the volcano.

"I will be back soon. Prepare necessary things for cooking," Hei Anjing said before jumping inside the opening of the volcano.

Meanwhile, inside the volcano...

Lu Ming saw the hole that was created as he fell from the heavens. The smaller it became the further he descended into the volcano. Lu Ming was initially taken aback when Hei Anjing threw him into the volcano, but because to the Nirvana Flame's shield, he did not feel heated at all.

Lu Ming spoke to the Nirvana Flame inside of his body. "What's inside the volcano? Would I die if I fell into the lava?"

{No. your body is already a God. Nature can no longer kill you. You might get eaten alive instead.}

In confusion, Lu Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

{Turn around}

When Lu Ming manages to twist his body in midair, a massive mouth opens up to greet him and waits for him to fall in. There is a distinct smell of burning, blood, and fishiness. Lu Ming used the falling pebbles that dropped in with him as a makeshift barrier to avoid the monster's enormous jaws on the side in order to escape the danger.

Lu Ming identified the species of the beast now that he was by its side.

"What the hell is this, a Carp?" Lu Ming exclaimed.

{Indeed. One with quite a powerful bloodline. So it was this one who ruled this island. I can't move so even though I can feel its existence, it was never wary of me.}

Shocked, Lu Ming watched the huge carp fall back to the huge magma pond under them. He grabbed the nearest stone wall within the volcano and didn't dare fall into the volcano itself.

"How can a Carp be this powerful? Don't tell me the legend is real—the one when a carp jumps past the heavenly dragon gate, it would transform into a dragon?" Lu Ming asked.

{It's real. But there is no dragon gate in this world. It can only be a carp all his life. Unless someone brings him out of this world, he can only stay this way forever.}

Lu Ming said, "You mean bring him into another world with a dragon gate."

{You know about the existence of the world beyond?}

"I've been enlightened and already lived one whole lifetime in this world. I knew some things about this world. I'm one of the protagonists of this world. The other one had long left and was replaced by Su Jin. Plus, the Heavenly Laws of this world had been killed by the new God of Sea," Lu Ming said.

{A lot of things happen outside this island. I cannot move from there so I didn't know much. No wonder I lost the perception of something watching over me. So the heavens of this world are dead.}

Lu Ming noticed the carp peeking from the magma pond and gulping. If looks can kill, he was already killed multiple times by the fish.

"That carp is still staring. Does it want to eat me or something?"

{It's not you who wanted to eat it but me. I'm a fire spirit. Him eating me will greatly increase its strength. Since I'm inside you, it wants to eat you as well. Don't worry, his flame won't work on you. But since this thing has the bloodline of a dragon, my nirvana flames won't be that effective on it.}

Lu Ming said, "In short, I can't defeat it! Then why did Lord Mo throw me in here!?".

{If you let go, I will tell you.}

"Are you telling me to die?" Lu Ming shouted.

{I'm here. You won't die. Now let go. Waste more time and the Venerable Lord will lock us in here forever. Look above you.}

"What do you mean?"

As he was told, Lu Ming looked up and saw two pairs of sharp eyes staring down at them. Hei Anjing owns one, while Reine in his canary form owns the other.

Fuck!

"Do I just need to jump in? You will save me if I'm eaten by that carp," Lu Ming asked.

{You won't be eaten! Just jump!}

Lu Ming chose his moment and leaped in the direction of the magma pond. The carp jumped as usual, but this time, he was not prepared for the fact that the fish staring at him did not jump either. Instead, four larger fish jumped, flapping their mouths in his direction.

Lu Ming was frightened by this sight and shouted.

"AAAHH! WHAT THE FUCK!?"

{So there are five carps living in this huge volcano. No wonder.}

"Is that the time to say this?! Ah! Dammit!" Lu Ming screamed.

When he thought he would die, a small and fast thing passed by him. A horrifying scream of monsters echoes in the whole volcano.

CAA~WWWSSS~

Lu Ming didn't see any dangerous monsters when he looked around; only a tricolored canary was flying beside him.

"Isn't this the canary with Lord Mo?" Lu Ming mumbles while free-falling.

{That's not a canary. That's a unique Phoenix with the bloodline of both a dragon and a phoenix. A Phoenix-dragon Hybrid.}

"For real!?"

After leaping from the molten pond, the four carps perished from shock. The four carps are carried by the canary by moving around an ice whip. The ability of such a small canary to carry four carp that are a hundred times larger than him is beyond comprehension.

The canary abruptly turned to face Lu Ming, who had survived because of his deeds. Its body produced a single dragon scale and a phoenix feather, which it hurled towards the young guy.

{You've done well. The last carp is yours to take. May scale and feather can help you and that thing inside you. It's your reward for being bait.}

"Am I the fish bait?" Lu Ming mumbed in disbelief.

{Stay strong}

Then the canary flew away, carrying the four dead carp with him. He happily flew back to where his master was.

{Master, Reine got the fish. Can Master give me one steamed fish as a reward?}

Hei Anjing said, "Sure. One of them is yours."

The force that held him from falling vanished as the two figures vanished out of the volcano's hole. Lu Ming was not plummeting directly into the molten rock under him. Unexpectedly, though, he landed on something that felt a little bit cool, like scales, rather than right into the lava.

The carp that initially leaped on him was the one that did not jump when the other carps were caught a moment later. This small carp had obviously already developed intelligence.

Slam!

Lu Ming holding his face, "Ouch! Hm? It's cold? Oh~ it's you. Not going to eat us anymore?"

{I'm still young and can't talk yet. But it seems to want something from you. I will talk about it.} A wisp of Nirvana Flame comes out of Lu Ming's body and floats in front of the carp.

Upon closer inspection, the scales of this carp were red-gold, but the ones that were caught were red solely. She finds herself drawn to Lu Ming the more she looks at her. He had seen mermaid scales, but since they were made of watery elements, he never thought they were lovely and instead felt subdued by their aura. After all, he uses fire.

{Xiao Ming, this little one said he wanted that scale the Venerable Phoenix had given you. In exchange, he will give you the treasure of this island. It's a thousand-year-old fire orb. Also, he will sign a contract with you if you promise to bring him into a world with a dragon gate and help him become a dragon. Just agree; I know a world with a dragon gate.

After we finish your business in this world, we should go explore the other world.}

Lu Ming asked, "Do I need to make a vow?"

{That's better, but are you sure?}

"I had no intention of breaking any of my promises." Lu Ming made another vow, which the gods on the surface had noticed.

Outside the Volcano...

Leica and Lu Shang were hard at work cleaning the four carps. Hei Anjing, on the other hand, pulled out a tiny kitchen and selected additional ingredients from his small world supplies. Ji Yoonjun was assisting in the cleaning of the fruits and vegetables that he had grown. He can grow everything he has seen before and is closely connected to nature as a wood-attributed God.

They could feel the sky rumbling over the tallest volcano.

Leica said, "That boy made a vow again."

"How reckless," Ji Yoonjun commented.

Lu Shang said, "As long as you had no intention of breaking your vows, then there is nothing to fear."

"With this, he's gotten stronger. Doesn't that mean I don't have to make a move anymore?" Hei Anjing said.

Leica said, "But master, if these carps are the real guardians of this danger zone, then what about the fire-winged lion beside Lu Wangle?"

"Oh that cat? It's the only adult spirit beast on this island. The strongest are those carp and that flame spirit. The former cannot be found unless one went inside the volcano and the opening of that volcano is blocked by that Spirit Flame.

As for those who tried to climb the tallest volcano, one will either suffer from dehydration or burn alive, so everyone thought that the flame-winged lion is the guardian of this island. The old man from the Lu Clan might already know about it, as his mount had most likely informed. Either he failed or chose not to come at all," Hei Anjing said.
