The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 104: Eternal Nothingness

Yue Ming and the entire army of heavenly warriors fighting in the Sky Palace instantly stopped their movements as the ground shook violently. Yue Ming looked at the sky that was sowing shooting stars. The demon army instantly shattered into dust as a light shot out like lightning. The heavenly soldiers all fell silent.

"Eternal Nothingness...." Yue Ming muttered. His tone is so low.

"Goddess Yue Ming, what happened?" ask one of the heavenly soldiers.

"Maharani's...Great God.." murmured again. His voice vibrates.

No way! That can't be happening! Maharani Feng and Great God Yongheng were extremely strong! Where they might be missing!

Eternal Nothingness, was the term to mention the death of a great god and the leader of the Nine Heavens Realm at the same time. The term was last uttered when the death of the first Great God Yongheng and the first Celestial Emperor, which ended the period of the time of the Ancient Gods. Now, the term is back.

The shooting star signifies the fall of a great god. In these Three Realms, only Yongheng made it possible to make the star free-fall into the Three Realms. A cold air suddenly blew into the Nine Heavens Realm, bending the heavenly herbs and trees.

Heavenly birds were flying above Fengyun Palace, composing a twisting motion. The spiritual powder on their bodies dropped like snowflakes. The Nine Heavens Realm was shrouded in a thin white mist.

The blowing wind flew a strand of blue flame phenix feather into Yue Ming's hand. Without feeling it, there were tears that fell when the soft fur touched his palm. The heavenly soldiers instantly knelt down and bowed deeply.

A cold wind also blew into the East Sea. The magnificent palace that was usually crowded, was now shrouded in piercing cold. Si Yun, the servant god Yongheng was fixated on top of the highest tower. The wind flew a lotus petal into his hand, and his tears also fell. His legs were squeezed and he immediately sat down, followed by the entire population of the East Sea.

The only golden lotus growing in the Eastern Sea withered. Although the pond was filled with spiritual power, the lotus root had long since separated from its trunk. The powder began to spread into the air and disappeared. The spiritual aura emanating from the palace of Great God Yongheng fell to all corners of the East Sea. The golden dragon statue representing the Great God Yongheng also collapsed.

Si Ming who was in his temple sighed softly. The Book of Fate of Empress and the Great God that was in her hands turned into dust, then disappeared in the wind.

The news of the end of the God Clan's war with the Demon King had spread to the Three Realms. The remaining demon clans, who did not take part in the war were freed and returned to the Demon Realm with a thousand-year truce agreement.

The damage in the Three Realms began to be restored by the gods who were shoulder to shoulder with the other clans. The remnants of the dark power of the Demon King and his women were cleansed and replaced with the spiritual air of the god. The Puhe Valley was covered with giant protectors that did not allow any creatures to enter.

Meanwhile, the ruined Shansui Valley is now a very barren desert. The remains of the fight turned to stone. The valley where the sealing was was nothing more than a desert like in other realms. Dry, and without life.

The human tribe in the Mortal Realm secretly assisted the gods in restoring their dwellings. Now, the new dynasty that formed after Ji Nuo left the Mortal Realm experienced a golden age. Many spiritual experts had appeared and cultivated, making the Three Realms like they were reborn.

Too bad, the two people who wanted this the most couldn't see it. Feng Shang and Yongheng who were fighting for the Three Realms were precisely unable to watch how these Three Realms survived and slowly recovered. Their majestic names were engraved on the Qiankun Tower and were always looked upon in amazement by anyone who saw them.

In fact, the Nine Heavens Realm did not yet have a successor. Yue Ming did not know who would pass on the throne of the current leadership. Clearly, the gods are now busy restoring the Three Realms and reconcile the blurring.

"Do you think Empress and Great God Yongheng have entered the Realm of Nothingness?" yue Ming asked when Si Ming came to visit. Si Ming turned his cup and looked at the clear sky.

"Eitherway. The Realm of Nothingness was too mysterious. Maybe they're there, or somewhere else."

Si Ming could not predict the fate of the two people. Whether they were going to reincarnate or not, he did not know. Clearly, using the soul core to form the power core of the universe could make them disintegrate forever and never be reborn.

Moreover, both of them were true gods born as the saviors of the Three Realms. If the Ancestral Gods still existed, it was possible that they could re-form. However, the Ancient Gods period had ended. Let alone the Ancestral God, the Great God from ancient times was no longer there.

In the Mortal Realm, Ji Nuo stepped her feet from one place to another. He wandered back after his wounds recovered. Ji Nuo would not stay in the Nine Heavens Realm and choose to become a wandering goddess like before. According to him, it was more fun and made him unfettered.

Ji Nuo then arrived at a wooden hut located on a high mountain. The garden is decorated with flowers and shiny river rocks, neatly arranged. There was a spiritual aura enveloping the place. Around it is fenced in bamboo.

This place is not like an uninhabited place. But not abandoned either. Ji Nuo slowly stepped in, then sat down on the terrace of the cottage. He exhaled tiredly, then looked around slowly.

As the afternoon approached, a pair of teenage twins came to the cottage while carrying some items in their sling. Seeing someone sitting on the terrace of the cottage, the pair of twin teenagers then looked at each other and approached Ji Nuo.

"There was a guest, apparently," said the teenage girl.

"Bring water to our guests" said the teenage boy.

A pair of teenage twins then sat in a chair. Ji Nuo was still staring at them. These two teenagers seemed to be unafraid of his arrival. Also, they were like no ordinary humans. Ji Nuo was curious as to why these two teenage twins lived in the forest within a high mountain, without any parents.

"Don't look at us like that. We're not monsters" said the teenage boy.

Ji Nuo used a bit of his strength to look at the core of their souls. In a few moments, he turned his face to the side.

"The lineage of the golden dragon and the blue flame phoenix. What is your relationship with Yongheng and Feng Shang?" ask Ji Nuo.

The pair of twin teenagers only stared at each other for a while, then replied in a light tone, "They're our parents."

That reply made Ji Nuo widen his eyes.
