The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 61: The Story of the God

Shen Yi looked doubtfully at the woman who was now engrossed in arranging the flowers. Strange, it was still midnight and Feng Shang was instead staying here. Indirectly, the woman had detained him as well.

"Xiao Shang, are you okay?" tanyanya.

"You hear a story?" Feng Shang turned around to ask.

"Can't it be tomorrow morning?"

"can't. You need to hear it now."

Before starting the story, he took a deep breath. Then he asked Shen Yi to sit beside him. Feng Shang stared at the space blocked by the glass roof, without realizing his eyes caught the flickering of the brightest stars.

Shen Yi felt that Feng Shang was becoming strange. After being injured by her mother, she spoke incoherently as if she was going to die tomorrow. Shen Yi was doubtful whether the story that would be mentioned by her would have a good ending.

"In the days of the Ancient Gods, long before the human world was formed, the demon tribe and the god tribe had already fought each other. There was a Great God back then whose strength was on par with mine. He sacrificed himself to save the Three Realms from chaos," Feng Shang said.

"Who is he? Is his power so great?"

"Great God Yongheng, ruler of the East Sea. His strength equaled the strength of the first Celestial Emperor."

Although Shen Yi never knew exactly what the god world was like and what true power was like, it was undeniable that such a legend did exist. Feng Shang had made him believe in that world, in all the power and magic contained within it.

He was suddenly curious about the figure of Supreme God Yongheng and his heroic story in the story of the lives of the immortal tribes.

"Then what happened after he sacrificed himself?"

"He's gone."

Feng Shang told him that when a god sacrifices himself, the core of his soul will be destroyed and flown. In the end, the rest of the soul core would fuse and dissipate like the wind, obliterating all memories and powers that once existed within it.

The soul core of a scattered god could not be returned, but it could still be collected through the soul gathering lights. However, the process takes a very long time, can even take up to hundreds of thousands of years. His collection required countless reincarnations. Even so, it does not mean that the accumulated soul fragments can form the soul core as before.

He also relates that half of the soul's core went along with half the shadow of the god. When one finds and awakens it, all the memories and powers of the other half will be awakened.

When a great deity rises, the human body incarnated will be destroyed and all memories of his life as a human will be lost.

"Why are you telling me this?" ask Shen Yi.

"I don't understand what the setting of the sky's destiny is like. Sometimes, what happened was actually not as simple as one thought."

"You mean?"

"Who would have thought that the core of the soul that disappeared was only half of it. His other half had long occupied another world that was very far away and could not be reached other than by the power of fate."

"You want to say that half of Great Lord Yongheng's soul core has been reincarnated here, on this earth?"

Feng Shang was silent. Heart's churning. Could it be that Shen Yi could guess the direction of the conversation?

Feng Shang was still silent.

"Then you find him, you'll leave?" ask Shen Yi. He was half angry, probably because he was afraid of losing the woman. No, he was not prepared if Feng Shang were to disappear in front of his eyes someday.

"Only the fated Celestial Empress can awaken him," Feng Shang said.

"Omong empty! If that god is so great, why would he need your help? What a great god! He can't even resurrect himself!" shen Yi was annoyed.

Feng Shang shook his head. Inexhaustible with the behavior of Shen Yi who was actually cursing himself. It seemed, Feng Shangs expectations were too high.

"So, have you found that guy?" ask Shen Yi.

"Yes. It has even been a very long time since I found it," replied Feng Shang.

"You see him often?"

"I even met him every day and talked to him a lot."

Shen Yi's face was red. There was thick smoke rising high in his heart. Who has lit the fire and made it hot? Who put the highly acidic vinegar here?

"good. Xiao Shang, you dare to play behind me! You're..."

Feng Shang was anxious. He grabbed Shen Yi's face with both hands, then brought her face closer. With a stifled smile, he kissed Shen Yi for a few seconds. Now the man is silent.

Shen Yi's body stiffened. What Feng Shang had done to him made his entire body turn like a rock. Unable to move and his brain felt dead. Even when Feng Shang let go of his kiss, he still did not react.

"Shen Yi, let's just say I owe you one life" Feng Shang said. He touched Shen Yi's forehead with his finger, unleashed power and made a lotus mark appear. Shen Yi was instantly unconscious in Feng Shangs lap.

"This will be the last second I know you as Shen Yi. After all, you should still get up," murmured Feng Shang. Not feeling it, something wet came out from both of his eyes, sliding past his smooth cheeks.

He laid Shen Yi on the green flower garden grass. He started to open the formation, making the lotus mark on Shen Yi's forehead glow. The breeze blew against the leaves.

Feng Shang took out his phoenix dowry holy blood from within his soul, then dripped it on Shen Yi's forehead. He had just understood that his holy blood was to awaken the great god. Everything was planned from the beginning.

As the holy blood entered, golden light and blue light fused together to form waves. An enormous power was rising, making the phoenix star formation shaken. Feng Shang controlled the formation until the awakening was complete, yet he had to endure quite a great pain.

The vibration of the formation made the gathered spiritual energy rotate, then slowly enter into Feng Shangs body. The atmosphere of Cheng City was affected and the air temperature dropped to 10 degrees Celsius. The dew on the foliage partially freezes.

When the formation had stabilized, Feng Shang lowered both of his hands. His breath hunted and his chest rose and fell. He saw that Shen Yi was still in the process of awakening and that he had to protect her.

Soon, Great God Yongheng will rise. Feng Shang had to decide this, because the circumstances in this world were already chaotic. All the disasters that happened came from the same source. He needed great strength to help him overcome the crisis.

"Shen Yi, you have to get up" Feng Shang said. The rest of her teardrops turned into spiritual powder that penetrated into Shen Yi's body.

No matter what kind of man he was after rising up as a god, Feng Shang would still accept him as hard as his heart.
