Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The curtain slowly opened, and the stage was filled with mist. A woman in white stepped forward. She was extremely beautiful, like a fairy descending from the earth, and her temperament was noble and extraordinary. This was the goddess Dihuang who made the nine heavens and eight wastelands submit to her.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes were as sharp as lightning, and there was a faint cold light in her purple pupils. "I am the world's number one goddess. Today I have come to the mortal world to bring unprecedented opportunities to all of you."

She waved her hand, the mist dissipated, and a majestic palace appeared before her eyes. The palace was magnificently decorated, breathtaking. "This is my imperial garden, named 'Expectation'. Here, you will gain unprecedented power."

Emperor Huang chuckled, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, "However, to obtain this power, you must first pass various tests." She paused, and a hint of coldness was revealed in her tone, "These tests are not a joke, only the strongest can make it to the end."

As soon as the words fell, a strong attraction burst out from the palace, as if to swallow up all living beings. Emperor Huang said calmly: "Come on, let me see how capable you are."

The crowd was in a commotion, all terrified. But soon, a strong aura rushed out from the crowd, and it was a handsome young man.

His eyes were firm, as if he wanted to look directly at the truth of the universe. He slowly stepped into the palace, emitting a dazzling light. Emperor Huang looked at him, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"What's your name?" she asked calmly.

"My name is Jiang Chen, Your Majesty," the young man answered respectfully.

"Jiang Chen." Emperor Huang whispered the name, with an elusive look in his eyes. "Very good. I am looking forward to your performance."

After saying this, she turned and walked away, disappearing into the depths of the palace.

Jiang Chen watched her go away, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and walked towards the depths of the palace.

The palace is full of unknown dangers and a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere that seems to suffocate your breathing at any time.

However, Jiang Chen was not afraid at all. He walked with a firm step and a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to light a bright lamp in the darkness.

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in front of him, as if it was going to swallow everything in. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the movement of the vortex.

"This must be a crucial test." He thought to himself, "We can't act rashly. We must deal with it with caution."

At this moment, the vortex suddenly accelerated and emitted a series of piercing roars. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless, and immediately used all his strength to slowly step forward.

Every step forward seemed to be fighting against this strong gravitational force. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Jiang Chen's forehead, and the muscles of his whole body were tense. However, he did not dare to relax at all, but just gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.

Finally, under tremendous pressure, Jiang Chen stepped into the center of the vortex. He saw the surrounding scene distorted instantly, as if he was in a strange dimensional space.

There were strange ghosts floating around, making sharp screams. Jiang Chen frowned and went forward without fear.

At this moment, a huge hand suddenly stretched out from the void and rushed towards Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was quick-witted and slapped it hard, shattering the hand.

"If you have any other tests, just come and take them!" His eyes were sharp and he showed no fear at all.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up from the front, as if a door leading to the unknown was slowly opening. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and walked towards the light.

Passing through the light, Jiang Chen suddenly found himself in a quiet garden. There were green trees and colorful flowers here, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the whole space was shrouded in a dreamy atmosphere.

"Who is this person?" Jiang Chen wondered and stepped forward cautiously.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman walked out from the flowers. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, and her figure was graceful, just like a blooming Luo flower.

"Who are you? Where exactly is this place?" Jiang Chen asked her involuntarily.

The woman smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness. "This is 'Narrative Emotion'. I am the master here, you can call me 'Sentiment'."

"'Narrative emotion'?" Jiang Chen was stunned. "Where on earth is this place?"

"This is a world that belongs to you." Qing Huai said in a sweet voice, "Here, you can give full play to your imagination and depict your deepest emotions."

She smiled coquettishly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. "However, if you want to have this power, you must pass my test first."

As she spoke, she stretched out her jade hand and gently touched Jiang Chen's cheek. Jiang Chen only felt a warm current spreading through her body along her fingertips, and his heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became rapid.

Qin Huai looked at him with a smile, as if he could see through every wave of his heart. "Tell me, what is your deepest desire?"

Jiang Chen's breath was choked, and his eyes flickered. This woman seemed to see through everything about him, making him feel more exposed than ever before.

"I...I want to be a powerful warrior, with endless power." He spoke with difficulty.

Qin Huai chuckled, with a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Oh? Do you have the courage to realize this dream?"

As she spoke, she suddenly fell backwards, as if she was about to fall into a bottomless abyss. Jiang Chen hurriedly reached out to pull her, but found that her body was disappearing quickly.

“Wait! Where are you going?” he asked anxiously.

"Go find the deepest 'story contradiction' in your heart." Qin Huai said lightly, "Only by defeating it can you truly master this power."

Before she finished speaking, she had completely disappeared into the endless darkness. Jiang Chen stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

"What exactly is this 'story paradox'?" he asked himself. "What kind of test am I facing?"

He took a deep breath and turned to walk into the depths of darkness. Here, everything was full of unknowns and dangers, but he was not afraid at all.

"No matter what I face, I will face it bravely." He thought firmly, "I must become a powerful warrior and realize my dream!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and headed towards the unknown abyss.

Unconsciously, Jiang Chen walked out of the "narrative emotion" space and came to a dark and damp cave. There was a cold atmosphere around him, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him.

"Is this where the 'story contradiction' is?" Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a gloomy and terrifying voice sounded in my ears: "Welcome to the realm of 'story contradictions'. Here, you will face your deepest fears and contradictions."

As soon as the words fell, a huge figure suddenly emerged from the darkness. It was a strange-looking monster, shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying aura.

It let out an earth-shattering roar, and then pounced towards Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he faced it without flinching.

The two of them fought fiercely, like two ferocious beasts fighting for territory. Jiang Chen's moves were swift and powerful, showing no sign of retreat. However, the monster was so ferocious that it blocked his attacks again and again.

The battle between the two lasted for a long time, as if the world was covered by their aura. Finally, after a violent collision, the monster was knocked to the ground by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen panted heavily, staring at the monster in front of him with a cold gaze. He had completely released his power, but still felt a deep sense of helplessness and fear.

"Is this the deepest contradiction in my heart?" he asked himself, "Is there any fear that I have not yet overcome?"

At this moment, the monster suddenly let out a shrill roar, turned into a ball of black mist and gradually disappeared. Instead, a familiar figure slowly walked towards him.

That was his best friend, a comrade who had fought side by side with him for many years. However, this comrade exuded a cold murderous intent, as if he was staring at him with eager eyes.

"No, this is impossible!" Jiang Chen took a breath of cold air, an unspeakable fear rising in his heart.

He had known this comrade for many years and had never had any conflicts with him. But now, the other party actually had murderous intentions towards him, which was undoubtedly the deepest shock to his heart.

"Why? We are obviously best friends!" Jiang Chen cried out to the sky, looking at his comrades in front of him in disbelief.

However, the other party just looked at him coldly, without any intention of explaining. Instead, he slowly drew out the long sword in his hand and pressed towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's pupils shrank, and a huge wave rose in his heart. He had never thought that one day he would become an enemy with his best friend. At this moment, the fear and contradiction in his heart were like a huge wave, almost swallowing him whole.

"No, this is impossible... This is impossible!" He muttered to himself, as if he was trapped in a nightmare from which he could not escape.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded: "Why are you so scared?"

Jiang Chen turned around suddenly and saw Emperor Huang walking slowly towards him with a peaceful expression, like a quiet Buddha statue.

“This is just the deepest conflict in your heart,” she said softly. “You have to overcome it before you can truly master the power of ‘narrative emotion.’”

"But...but I can't do it!" Jiang Chen shouted desperately, "I can't defeat my closest friend, I...I'm afraid of losing him!"

Emperor Huang smiled slightly and reached out to touch his cheek. "Then face the deepest fear in your heart. Only when you defeat it can you truly become a powerful warrior."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Jiang Chen alone to face his inner struggle.

At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to be in a dark abyss, with endless fear and despair echoing around him. He clenched his fists tightly, his muscles tensed, and his eyes flashed with a determined light.

"No, I can't retreat!" He growled and rushed forward, "I must overcome this contradiction and become a powerful warrior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he faced the attack of his best friend without fear. The two of them were once again involved in a fierce fight, but this time, every move of Jiang Chen was full of determination and resolve.

Gradually, he began to understand the behavior of his best friend and gradually gained the upper hand. Finally, he hit his best friend hard and knocked him to the ground.

"I... won!" Jiang Chen panted, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

At this moment, the image of the best friend gradually blurred and disappeared into a pile of ashes.
