When Su Jiuwei woke up, she was holding her brother's already cold body in her arms.
He was the most promising young master of the Fox clan. He died under a cliff, and the cause of his death is a mystery. There were half symbols he carved on the cliff with his fingernails - she couldn't understand them. But an ancient existence within her that had just awakened understood.
That hoarse whisper was the remnant soul of the nine-tailed demon god that was slaughtered by the gods thousands of years ago. It had been sleeping in her blood for seventeen years, and woke up at the moment she was about to die.
My brother is dead. The Young Master's trial is about to begin. Su Jiuwei took off her bloody coat and didn't pretend to be anyone else. She walked into the assessment site with her own face, her own name, and her own daughter's body.
In front of the mirror, what appeared in the mirror was not her fear - it was the illusion of the nine-tailed demon fox annihilating the world.
The whole place was in an uproar. She suppressed the violent power in her body and said word by word: "What is shown in the mirror is the fear that I take as a warning every day. Isn't this my true intention?"
She passed. But there is a line on the wrist that I have never seen before.
Qingheng, the chief of the Heavenly Punishment Department of the God Clan, was ordered to track down the fluctuations in the power of the demon god. He wanted to find the person with the demon god's remnant soul sealed in her body and kill her.
He didn't know that every time she used her demon power, the demon marks would spread an inch. By the time it reaches her heart, she will die.
He didn't know that when he finally used the Xingtian Mirror to reveal her true body - the mirror had cracks for the first time.
And the half symbol carved by her dead brother before his death pointed to a truth that had been buried for thousands of years by the gods.
"Are those who are called 'demon' really evil?"
The wind passes without leaving a trace, but the bones echo.
