The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 63: Nostalgic

Xize's office atmosphere felt very different today. An office that is usually boisterous because of employee chatter about his friend who was scolded by his boss suddenly like a neighborhood whisper. Souls gossip employees suddenly like lost instantly.

It's nothing really. It happened because their main superior, the president, looked very different today. Despite its usual appearance, but the aura it emanated was so different. The face was still the same, but the expression and radiance of his eyes did not belong to their superiors at all. As if, the man sitting in the chair of the president director was someone else.

Instead of talking, they prefer silence. The employees followed Zhang Bi's advice telling them not to ask much if they didn't want to lose their salaries. In fact, their tongues feel very itchy want to talk.

Shen Yi who had become Yongheng was bored. In his palace back then, precisely in the East Sea, he had never been this bored. He was usually surrounded by subordinate deities, who reported this around the situation in the sea kingdom. He can take a walk to enjoy the beauty of his most peaceful kingdom in the Three Realms.

Yongheng groans, rearranging his memories before he sacrifices himself and falls into an eternal slumber. As he recalled, the Three Realms back then were only inhabited by several hundred gods. I don't know what the Three Realms are like now. I don't know what great power has held his soul core until he can rise even in a different world.

If not for him meeting the Heavenly Empress, he might have already gone to find his own way home. Hundreds of thousands of years ago when the meeting of the gods with the first Celestial Emperor took place, the prophecy about the birth of the fated Celestial Empress made the stirrings of the Three Realms.

It was still the age of ancient gods, when true gods seemed to be tens of thousands of years old. Arguably, the reigning age in the Nine Heavens Realm was new as corn to the ancient gods as it seemed. The divining god of destiny said the prediction of the birth of the Celestial Empress with a trembling voice.

It was then that the highest heavens were rumbling and heavenly birds were flying. The divining god of destiny raised both his hands into the air, telling all the gods that a maharani of the blue flame phoenix race would be born someday. The Nine Heavens Realm would no longer be led by a god.

No doubt, the news of the prophecy spread widely to the Three Realms. Many of the immortal beings were captive and held hostage to the gods of the blue fire phoenix race, until its existence became mysterious. Perhaps, the great god of the race took all his subjects away to a hidden place so as not to be held hostage by others.

The Celestial Emperor, Chang Yuan, was furious. He punished the gods who took the blue fire phoenix hostage. When someone made them wretched or injured, the Celestial Emperor punished them at the god-killing altar, then they were forced to lose their godliness and disappear slowly.

That was why the blue flame phoenix became legendary and mysterious. Their existence was unknown even after tens of thousands of years had passed since the prophecy was announced. It could be that they were still around, or it could be that they were freezing themselves and harboring a soul core somewhere.

Then, Yongheng set the memory during the great war between the gods and the demon tribe. Chaos is everywhere. More than half of the Three Realms suffered damage. The Demon King led a war against the gods led by the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor along with thirty thousand heavenly soldiers resisted the attacks of the demon tribe and restrained them at the border of the Nine Heavens Realm and the Demon Realm.

At that moment, many were expecting the presence of the destined Sky Empress. All beings in the Three Innocent Realms cultivate hope, hoping that the war of the two tribes will end soon, or one can overcome his chaos. The war is really terrible.

As a true god, Yongheng advanced alone. He bore the responsibility of being with the Celestial Emperor and thirty thousand heavenly soldiers, along with hundreds of other gods. His strength was the second strongest after the Celestial Emperor, which made him stand on equal footing with the leader. As the war continued, he made a big decision.

Yongheng used his own soul core to stop the war. He said, the soul core of a great god has immense power. Yongheng handed over the royal throne in the East Sea, leaving the Nine Heavens Realm. He destroyed himself and managed to seal the Demon King.

Now, when the prediction of the Heavenly Empress came true, fate gave her another surprise. He was raised where he should not have been. As to why it is here and why the maharani here is also an unsolved mystery of destiny.

Finished nostalgic, he came out quietly from the study. Yongheng didn't know the direction, he went wherever his feet went. The long hallways, stairs, elevators, all passed without knowing where the real destination was.

Meanwhile, a few minutes after Yongheng left, Feng Shang had just arrived. The woman had just bought lunch for him and for Yongheng. He was surprised to find Yongheng not in the study, but he told him to sit and wait there obediently.

"Didn't Director Feng have Master stay inside?"

"Stupid! If he's inside, why would I ask?"

Lazily arguing with mortal humans like Zhang Bi, Feng Shang immediately left the study. Feng Shang walked down every hallway, every room that Yongheng might pass through. She was like a mother who lost her favorite child.

"Why can a great god be so troublesome?" grunt Feng Shang.

During his tenure as the Sky Empress, he had met various kinds of gods with different properties. However, he had never encountered a god, let alone a troublesome grand deity like Yongheng. Great God Yongheng was not only disobeying orders and not obedient, but also annoying.

Was it because she was the Shen Yi who had changed?

I don't know. One thing that was certain and known to Feng Shang was the fact that he was now Yongheng. Also, another fact: he disappeared and made Feng Shang trouble looking for him. Where exactly did he go?

Feng Shang then used his maharani hearing, unsealing it to track Yongheng's whereabouts. Honey, that doesn't work. Feng Shang could not catch the sound of footsteps from the man.

"It seems like I really should use my holy blood," murmured Feng Shang. He just remembered that in Yongheng's body there is his holy blood, which makes him connected to the holy blood.

Coupled with his magic power, Feng Shang started tracking Yongheng's whereabouts. The signs began to appear and the clues appeared one by one. Feng Shang closed his eyes, trying to see where the footsteps were going.

He saw Yongheng pass through familiar passages, roads, bridges, and places in his memory. After a while, Feng Shang snorted in annoyance. He said, "Why are you there, stupid Yongheng!"

Feng Shang immediately went to where Yongheng was. With Shen Yi's luxurious limousine, Feng Shang split the city streets at high speed. His car stopped when he arrived in front of a tower surrounded by many people. Feng Shang broke through the crowd, then his head looked up to see what the man was actually willing to do.

"Stupid, what are you doing up there?"

The man who was yelled at did not answer. Feng Shang clucked, then muttered, "If you get tired of living, die. Give Shen Yi back to me."

"You! What do you want to do?" reset Feng Shang.

However, the person who shouted at him once again did not answer him.
