The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 54: Imposing the Dream Realm

Arriving at home, Feng Shang did not go straight to sleep. He remained silent in the flower garden while refreshing his body with a flow of spiritual energy. There's something he has to do. Feng Shang closed his eyes, focusing his mind somewhere. The blue light from his body floated up, surrounding him. Then, a portion of his soul consciousness came out, floated up and disappeared somewhere.

Feng Shang re-entered the Realm of Nothingness. The Palace of Nothingness welcomed him warmly with a high level of spiritual power. His feet stepped onto the spiritual marble floor which was extremely smooth and sparkling. Arriving at the main hall, he greeted the sky spirit of God Chang Yuan. The celestial spirit that still had that form smiled at him.

"Fated Heaven, have you completed your task?"

Feng Shang shook his head. He frowned when he saw the sky spirit God Chang Yuan actually smiled at him. This is no ordinary reaction.

"I don't understand one thing. I came here to ask you."

"What do you want to know?"

"Why is the Demon King on earth?"

Feng Shang did not tell me that the monstrous demonic air in Xiang Sun's body was that of the Demon King. He also only found out recently and just confirmed it this afternoon. Xiang Sun was a Demon King, but it could be said not completely. That man had the same characteristics as Feng Shang, only half the strength and soul core alone.

"Destiny has arranged so. That is your destiny, his destiny, and also the destiny of the Demon King," replied the sky spirit of God Chang Yuan.

"Did he come with me to earth?"

Sky Spirit God Chang Yuan was silent. Feng Shang considered it to mean 'yes'.

"Rupa's right. Everything is related to me."

"You are the destined Heavenly Empress, the possessor of pure souls and holy blood. Looking at you right now, you should have already taken what's left of yours in someone else's body, right?" ask the sky spirit Great God Chang Yuan.

"Yes. I've taken it."

"Your strength is perfect. Use your blood to overcome that mess and rediscover your way to the Nine Heavens Realm."

Feng Shang was trying to understand the meaning of the sky spirit words of Lord Chang Yuan. Wearing his blood to overcome chaos? That meant, he had to use his holy blood to protect the earthlings and overcome the chaos created by Demon King Xiang Sun.

He thought for a moment. With his current condition, although he was able to face the Demon King alone, but he could not estimate how much damage would be incurred from that fight. Feng Shang could not split himself into two that could be in two places at once.

The battle of immortal beings was not a random fight. It is not only the life and death of the immortals that are at stake, but also the lives of all the beings around them. Feng Shang's fight with the Demon King would be an enormous fight, one that determined the fate of the earth humans' lives and deaths, especially the residents of Cheng City.

He needs someone who can help him. That person should be able to share the task with him, protecting the earth creature as he fights alone. The only person he thought was very likely Shen Yi. Only that man can help her.

Is this the core of his job? He not only had to resurrect Great God Yongheng, but also face the Demon King and return to protect the world.

"If I resurrect him, won't he disappear?" ask Feng Shang. 'He' is what Shen Yi means and all his memories of being human.

"Have you found the incarnation?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Have your heart been moved, Heavenly Empress? Have you had feelings for that human?"

"He's not an ordinary man!" shouted Feng Shang. He was furious because fate played him to this extent.

"He is just an incarnation. You have to remember, for immortal beings, life as a human is just a distraction in their long story. So is he. Shen Yi was simply a dream in the life of the Great God Yongheng. After all, he would still return to his destiny as a Great God. His life as Shen Yi was only a dream for him, as well as a dream for you," explained sky spirit God Chang Yuan.

"How can there be a dream that is this long and complicated. How could there be a dream that contained a bitter and sweet taste in one time like this," murmured Feng Shang. His gaze felt empty.

Heart worried. Should he really resurrect Great God Yongheng and eliminate Shen Yi? His brain says yes, but his heart does not. Feng Shang struggled with his own feelings within the hall of the Palace of Nothingness. The god Chang Yuan gave him space to think.

Did he lose Shen Yi? But when compared to the salvation of the world, his sense of loss was nothing. However, his heart still could not calm down. He's afraid. Feng Shang was afraid that something unexpected might happen. He also feared that the problem would become more complicated if he did not solve it immediately.

The life she lived, as well as the life Shen Yi lived, would only be a dream when the two returned to the Nine Heavens Realm. All memories are lost, and they may not know each other later. Because he knew, Great God Yongheng was the second ruler, who held control over the entire ocean. Later if he returns, the god may return to his territory and will very rarely visit the Sky Palace.

Feng Shang looked at the sky spirit of Lord Chang Yuan intently. Was all this premeditated by fate? Feng Shang then turned around leaving the Palace of Nothingness. His sky spirit returned to his body that was meditating in the flower garden. By then, it was almost morning.

Feng Shang opened his eyes. The first sight he saw was Shen Yi whose face was very close to him. Feng Shang was startled, then reflexively retreated and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Shen Yi held him back.

"Why are you here?" ask Feng Shang.

"I can't sleep. I saw you staying here, so I came to accompany you. I wanted to ask, what was that blue light coming through your forehead?"

"You seen him?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's my sky spirit."

"Sky spirit? Some soul?"

"You could say so."

"Where are you going?"

"Natural Nothingness."

Shen Yi did not ask. He firmly believes that nature is a god nature that is not understood by humans like him.
