A Chaotic Era: Four Volumes of the Southern Heavens

[Beside the Naihe Bridge in the Netherworld] (Bei Linglong)

On the land of Shenzhou, all living things suffer. I would wield my sword to slay the gray wolf. Countless corpses nourish the flowers on the other shore, and only Lady Meng offers a bowl of soup.

A chill wind rises, and dead grass rustles. In the Demon Realm, a mournful zither is heard. For whom does the pale moon shine above? Murky snow covers people's dreams, and the dead bring all travel to a halt. Alas, there is nowhere to seek the spirits of the dead, only white bones piled into the city of the underworld.

[Phoenix Companions]

Bei Linglong

Phoenix mates and luan companions, relying on one another. A white horse treads the clouds in the Demon Realm.

People do not understand what love is. In this chaotic age, we wander the four seas through endless cycles of reincarnation.

Twin blossoms share a sweet wine, their shadowy forms swaying like the stillness of death.

The Netherworld has no colors to begin with. Only the beauty wears red.

[The World's Dilemma]

Bai: When all the world is dark, I alone shine in color.

Yi: A coffin shroud of horsehide, the lid of a nirvana coffin.

Jian: Two dragons sweep their tails beneath the Milky Way, hung upside down.

Xian: A jade hand reaches for the heavens, seeking what cannot be had.

Bei: The Demon Realm's Hua Xi Mountain Range, deep in the bitter cold of winter.

Ling: Burying corpses and bones, outside the chaos of the age.

Long: Kindness still remains, and I alone cannot be defeated.

Yin: Human hearts are full of sorrow, and the Great Way is fraught with danger.

Si: A thousand thoughts and feelings, emotions too hard to pluck away.

San: Demons of the heart beyond the mortal world, summoned at will.

Qian: Strings snap, flowers fall, and all things fall silent.

Tian: Living beings suffer, for a thousand years and more.

Men: From ancient times to the present, the path to immortality is hard to fathom.

Kai: The sun shines in the heavens, and tribulations are casually brushed aside.

Chu Xiangxiang covered her lips and let out another coquettish laugh. "She said, what's owed is what's owed. This isn't money, it's the Way..." As she spoke, Chu Xiangxiang took out Lei Ming and gently stroked it. Then she continued, "Little sister, do you really think a golden core is worth less than a sword?"
