Bang!
With a wail from the Holy Armor, the second Phoenix Holy Armor covering Hawk's body finally couldn't hold on any longer after persisting until this moment. It shattered into countless tiny fragments, detaching from Hawk's body and falling down towards the King Kong Canyon below.
The sky was filled with golden fragments, like a rain of gold.
Hawk looked down at the fragments of the Holy Armor drifting towards the ground, then glanced in the direction where Icarus had just disappeared.
This second Holy Armor of his had long been overwhelmed in his various battles with Thor, otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of using the Netherworld Black Gemstone to create a Black Phoenix Nether Armor for himself.
But although the Black Phoenix Nether Armor could rival the Golden Holy Armor, due to the lack of Netherworld Law, the Black Phoenix Nether Armor could only be worn temporarily or only in the world of death.
So...
The Black Phoenix Nether Armor is good, but the best is still the real Golden Holy Armor.
Hawk thought in his heart.
Moreover, he had completely gathered the three major materials needed to forge the Golden Holy Armor.
Yes.
Before the fight with Icarus, he had only found materials to replace Orichalcum and Silver Star Sand.
But after the fight with Icarus, he found the material to replace Gammanien.
It's nothing else.
It's the flowing golden magma in the Lost World.
Because it's not really magma; it's energy, to be precise, the life energy used to incubate the Celestial God Seed Tiya of Earth.
And precisely because of this, so many Adamantium metal mountains were nurtured in the Lost World.
At the same time —
Hawk also completely understood why he had a Sixth Sense that the Celestial God Team felt like enemies rather than friends.
Obviously.
If he used the life energy intended to nurture the Celestial God Seed Tiya of Earth, then who knows how many years later the Celestial God Tiya would emerge.
At that moment, when other Celestial Gods saw him, they would know he had stolen Tiya's life energy, and wouldn't they fight to the death?
If anyone saw a stranger take away their brother's milk, they would probably be extraordinarily furious.
But...
Anger aside, he must still take it.
After all, ultimately, the Celestial God Tiya wouldn't emerge, and besides, he was only going to use a portion of it to forge his own Golden Holy Armor, not to kill Tiya.
Tiya shouldn't mind.
Here's a joke.
When the Celestial God Tiya was supposed to emerge, it couldn't bear seeing Earth cracking apart, so it chose to seal itself along with Sesi.
This is not a detailed account.
This is what Sesi said herself.
In the original storyline, after successfully sealing, Sesi told the other tribe members that when she was about to fail, Tiya joined the Eternal Network and provided her with great energy to help seal herself.
So...
Since the Celestial God Tiya didn't choose to emerge at the time it was supposed to, then what difference does it make if it's a few years later?
Hawk thought to himself, then once again fixed his gaze on the passage leading to the Lost World.
In the next second.
His figure flickered and vanished once more into the sky above King Kong Canyon.
Icarus had already been driven away, so next, it was time for the harvest.
With Hawk's disappearance, in the Uighur Village.
Sitting in front of the house, Peter and Felicia, who had been watching the scene with wide eyes, were left speechless, their mouths agape and unable to regain their senses for a long time.
After a while.
Felicia was the first to react.
"Peter."
"Hmm."
"Are there more experts on the island?"
"Hmm."
Peter nodded, furrowing his brow: "Able to fly, with black hair, and somewhat resembling the Uighur, why do I feel like that person is the so-called Celestial God ancestor of the Uighur?"
Felicia frowned: "Impossible, if that person were really the ancestor of the Uighur, they wouldn't need to rely on King Kong to protect them."
Peter nodded.
"That's true."
"Peter."
"What is it?"
"Lucky you didn't go."
"..."
Peter and Felicia exchanged a glance, and between their locked eyes, a sour atmosphere quickly spread around them.
In the Lost World.
Hawk had already arrived directly in front of a floating, massive mountain entirely made of Adamantium metal.
"Phoenix Heart!"
"Chirp—"
The phoenix silhouette instantly manifested behind him, its enormous flaming wings unfurled, enveloping the mountain in front, then vanished instantly.
At the same time.
This massive mountain made entirely of Adamantium metal silently appeared in his Little Cosmos.
Hawk didn't hesitate, his figure vanished once more before reappearing in front of another floating mountain.
The phoenix silhouette flashed repeatedly; only after collecting ten Adamantium metal mountains in succession and feeling a warning from his mind did he stop this sweeping action.
After a while.
Hawk landed on both feet at the edge where golden energy magma was flowing all around.
It was when Icarus hurled him toward the ground and he fell into this golden magma that he realized the true nature of this golden magma.
So...
In a way, he must thank Icarus.
Although Icarus shattered his Holy Armor, he led him to find the essential element needed to complete the true Holy Armor.
This golden magma, containing endless life energy, is perfect for replacing Gammanien, becoming the bridge connecting Uru Metal and Adamantium, and bestowing the real Golden Phoenix Holy Armor.
As Hawk thought this, the moment he dipped his right hand into the golden magma, the Phoenix Heart of his Little Cosmos had already opened her eyes.
In an instant.
The sky of the Little Cosmos seemed to crack, and the golden magma composed of endless life energy flowed like a waterfall into his Little Cosmos.
The golden magma, like a river, divided into countless tributaries the moment it entered the Little Cosmos, flowing rapidly to every corner.
If you look closely.
A vividly lifelike phoenix, wings spread as if overshadowing the entire Little Cosmos, gradually condensed from the life force contained within the golden magma.
After all, this life energy is meant to nurture the birth of a new Celestial God.
This energy is so powerful.
All of it was intercepted by Hawk at this moment.
As one rises, the other falls.
The Little Cosmos power, previously suppressed in Hawk, began to climb rapidly, visibly growing stronger.
As the Phoenix within the Little Cosmos condenses into form under this massive inflow of life energy, Hawk's Little Cosmos returned to its peak.
Even though there is still an invisible divine power trying to suppress him.
But...
The Phoenix fears nothing!
Within the Little Cosmos, the phoenix, fully transformed into substance under the immense life energy, flapped its wings and cried out, while the immortal flames blazed fiercely, gradually forming star embryos one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the stars within the Little Cosmos noticeably increased in number, ready to flourish entirely, achieving the pinnacle of the Silver Sixth Sense Little Cosmos.
At this moment.
Feeling the Sixth Sense's warning, Hawk decisively withdrew his right hand, and with the resumed flow of magma, the temporarily halted energy river swiftly restored.
Countless golden magma roared, flowing toward the Celestial God Tiam still being nurtured within the planet.
Standing at the edge of the golden magma, Hawk, through the endless golden magma, seemed to see the Celestial God Tiam waiting to emerge as the time came.
"Thank you!"
Genuinely and sincerely, Hawk voiced his gratitude to the seemingly asleep Tiam appearing in his vision.
He took back his previous joke.
This new Celestial God Tiam, being nurtured within Earth, is indeed different.
Hawk could sense that the warning from the Sixth Sense just now wasn't from elsewhere but from the nurturing Celestial God Tiam.
Just like in the original plot, where Celestial God Tiam helped Sesi seal himself again and fell asleep.
He can feel that the smooth extraction of massive amounts of golden magma isn't merely due to his own ability, but rather more so because of the tacit approval from this slumbering new Celestial God Tiam.
Tiam silently agreed that he could take the life energy meant for nurturing.
As long as he wasn't excessive.
Hawk originally planned to absorb more.
After all, ten or eight more years or over a hundred more years of slumber wouldn't make much difference for Celestial God Tiam.
But as he was about to absorb more, the Sixth Sense warned him.
Thus, Hawk decisively chose to stop.
Hence, he solemnly thanked the nurturing Celestial God Tiam through the endless golden magma.
But...
Perhaps it was Hawk's illusion.
After he uttered his thanks, it seemed like there was a smile on the slightly metallic, crimson-like face of the slumbering Celestial God Tiam, similar to that of an elder seeing a polite and sensible junior.
"Uh..."
"Since the moment Tiam fell from the World Tree on Earth, he has been here within it."
"So..."
"Elder it is."
Hawk's expression initially seemed odd, but after quickly thinking, he shook his head with a smile, once again looked at Tiam deep within the flowing golden magma, voiced his thanks again, turned around, lifted his head, and instantly left this Lost World.
Just as his figure emerged once more from the passage, flying towards the Uighur side.
In the Lost World, the endless golden magma suddenly stirred.
The suspension of Adamantium mountain also fell into the golden magma, instantly melting into part of it, and the earth too transformed into magma under its engulfment…
Hawk was unaware of the changes occurring in the Lost World; as he exited, he appeared before Peter and Felicia, who were embracing one another.
After a while.
Hawk turned his head and coughed heavily.
"Cough cough!"
"Shit!"
"Hawk."
The couple, gazing affectionately into each other's eyes, heard the cough and realized Hawk had appeared before them, startled.
At this moment, Hawk remembered his fiancée, smiling as he looked at Peter and Felicia.
"You can go home now!"
"..."
