Vermilion Bird

The divine Vermilion Bird can destroy heaven and earth; the divine Azure Radiance can turn the universe upside down. The Vermilion Bird scattered across the world, unleashing a catastrophe whose source lay in the mortal realm's Canghai Region. In the Canghai Region, miasma and plague spread, leaving the people in misery. A Heng was branded by both the Vermilion Bird and Azure Radiance. To cultivate, she traveled to the Canghai Region to help her senior fellow disciple. At the same time, extraordinary people from every realm gathered in the Canghai Region: an immortal physician, the King of the Underworld, a strange Daoist, a vanished divine clan... With catastrophe at hand, where will everyone go? [Blurb]: The Father God created the world, and chaos first took shape. The baleful energy between heaven and earth gave birth to the evil weapon, the Vermilion Bird. The Vermilion Bird's flames can burn across the primordial realms. In accordance with the principle that all things generate and restrain one another, a luminous pearl emerged, gathering the auspicious energy of the world. This pearl was called Azure Radiance. Wherever the Vermilion Bird appears, Azure Radiance is sure to follow! The heavens and earth change color, and the stars and rivers turn upside down! Branded by two divine weapons of kingly rank at once, A Heng has a hard life. The road to the throne lies between an abyss behind her and a precipice ahead, but she is never afraid, because she is not alone. Yet when the people who protect her leave her one by one, she understands that in the end, she can only rely on herself. The supreme divine weapon of the Celestial Realm, a youth in the Ruins Realm, a fallen clan of sinners from ten thousand years ago, a country that vanished a thousand years ago... A Heng's life is destined to be extraordinary. She knows she must leave the hidden paradise that sheltered her. Sword in hand and blood on her brow, she stands amid towering waves and raging seas, becoming their mighty protector. "You protected me before. Now it's my turn to protect you." [Note 1]: The Vermilion Bird in this story is an original interpretation, distinct from the Vermilion Bird of traditional cultural legends, with many personal additions. [Note 2]: The female lead has a hidden dark side. At first, she is frail and sweet; in the middle, she grows; by the end, she stands on her own. [Note 3]: This is a female-lead-centric story. The heroine grows, and every other character is a supporting character. [Note 4]: The person who ends up with the heroine is the male lead. [Note 5]: The plot takes center stage, and this is a very long story. The romance is not the main plot, but a secondary thread that serves as a key turning point for the whole story. If that's not your thing, please don't read. [Note 6]: The entire story has undergone major revisions, including rewriting one-third of Volume Three. [Note 7]: This is not a cultivation-and-leveling story, though it touches on cultivation a little. Think of it as a story following the heroine through the immortal fantasy world the author yearns for. Theme: What is precious in life is family, friendship, and love.
