Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The sun shines on the snow-white ground, reflecting dazzling light. Looking into the distance, the mountains stand quietly between heaven and earth, like solemn guardians. In this vicissitudes of the mountains, there is a towering castle standing in it, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. This is the legendary capital of gods - Yuhua City.

In the city lived a famous empress, Huang Xi. She was born in the capital of gods, and was surrounded by people since she was a child, enjoying supreme glory. However, her fate took a turn when she was 20 years old. On that day, Huang Xi encountered a conspiracy and almost died. Fortunately, she accidentally obtained a mysterious treasure, the Xuanhuang Jade, and was reborn against the will of heaven and regained control of her own destiny.

Today, Huang Xi has grown into a beautiful and wise empress. She has extraordinary cultivation and controls everything in the capital, but she is still troubled by the indescribable emptiness in her heart. She often walks alone on the streets of the capital, feeling the various aspects of the world, but she can never find a sense of belonging in her heart.

Just as Huang Xi was immersed in her thoughts, she heard footsteps from behind. She looked back and saw a tall and handsome young man walking towards her slowly. That young man was the prime minister of Shendu - Ye Ling.

"Your Majesty, are you still touring here alone?" Ye Ling bowed respectfully to Huang Xi.

Huang Xi nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her lips: "Prime Minister, you have come at the right time. It's just right for you to take a walk with me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling immediately walked respectfully to Huang Xi's side and walked side by side with her. The two of them walked along the blue brick path, slowly heading towards the most famous Danxia Park in the city.

Danxia Park is located in the center of Shendu, and is a beautiful garden. The layout of the garden is exquisite, with fragrant grass, lush trees, small bridges and flowing water, forming a moving landscape painting. From time to time, tourists stroll here and immerse themselves in this tranquility and peace.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, Huang Xi felt a little more relaxed. She slowly stopped and sat down on a bench in front of a rockery, staring at the scenery in front of her.

Ye Ling also sat down beside her and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you worried about anything?"

Huang Xi sighed softly and said slowly: "I have been thinking about how I should handle the power and responsibilities in my hands as a female emperor. In this divine capital, I can seek welfare for my subjects, but I always feel that something is missing... I can't tell what it is."

Ye Ling was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, as the Queen of the Divine Capital, you shoulder a sacred mission. You must not only seek benefits for the people, but also pay attention to the safety of the entire Divine Realm. This is a heavy responsibility, but also a supreme honor. The emptiness you feel now may be because you have not yet fully realized your mission."

Huang Xi listened and nodded gently: "I understand what you mean. However, even though I know my responsibilities, I still feel confused sometimes. Although the capital of God is prosperous and wealthy, it is not my hometown after all. I have lived here since I was a child, but deep in my heart, there is always a sense of alienation."

"Perhaps, Your Majesty should go out of the capital more often and see the outside world." Ye Ling pondered for a moment and suggested, "After all, only by experiencing the world firsthand can you better grasp your mission."

Huang Xi nodded, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Perhaps what you said makes sense. How about I go out of the city and travel around tomorrow to see other places in this vast divine domain."

"Then please be careful, Your Majesty." Ye Ling replied respectfully, "I will arrange for elite guards to accompany you to ensure your Majesty's safety."

"Okay." Huang Xi smiled at him, "I knew I could rely on you."

The next morning, Huang Xi changed into a simple and elegant long dress, bathing in the sun with high spirits. She stepped on a snow-white horse, slowly walked out of the gate of the capital, and began this long-awaited trip.

As the empress of the capital, Huang Xi naturally could not go alone. Ye Ling personally selected several powerful guards to accompany her to ensure her safety. The team slowly passed through the dense forest and entered an open plain.

In the distance, a few towering peaks can be seen faintly. That is the famous Danxia Mountains in the Divine Realm. Huang Xi speeded up his horse, hoping to reach this beautiful resort as soon as possible.

Finally, at sunset, Huang Xi and his party arrived at the foot of Danxia Mountain, where the mountains were surrounded and streams flowed, forming a moving landscape painting.

"What a beautiful place." Huang Xi exclaimed, "I must rest here for a night."

So, they found a secluded mountain village in the mountains and set up camp there to rest. When it was completely dark, the stars dotted the night sky. Huang Xi came to the mountain stream alone and quietly admired the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Suddenly, Huang Xi saw something moving in the bushes not far away. She squinted her eyes and observed carefully, and her heart was immediately alarmed. She saw a dark shadow quietly rushing out of the bushes and rushing towards her!

Huang Xi subconsciously reached for the sword at her waist, but the next moment, the black shadow rushed to her at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"Who are you?!" Huang Xi asked sternly.

The shadow finally approached Huang Xi and revealed his true appearance under the moonlight. It turned out to be a young man in black, with a handsome face but a fierce look.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the Empress of the Divine Capital would show up here in person. This is really cause for celebration." The man said with a sneer.

"What do you mean?" Huang Xi frowned and stared at him, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" The man sneered, "Of course I want to kill you so that I can take back the treasure in your hand - the Xuanhuang Jade!"

Huang Xi's heart trembled, and she subconsciously grasped the Xuanhuang Jade at her waist. The man continued, "I heard that this Xuanhuang Jade is a divine weapon that can change fate. As long as I master it, I can become the master of this divine domain. And you, as the empress who holds this treasure, are my stumbling block!"

As he spoke, the man suddenly threw a punch towards Huang Xi's face. Huang Xi was quick-witted and drew out his sword to block it. The two immediately fell into a fierce fight.

Although Huang Xi had a high level of cultivation, she was always passive in her response. The man's attack was swift and fierce, and he was obviously also a master. The two of them fought by the mountain stream, causing waves of water.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a roar suddenly came from behind the mountain: "Stop!"

Ye Ling led several guards and rushed over, staring at the man in black with angry eyes.

"How dare you bully the empress in front of me!" Ye Ling shouted angrily, "Give me your life!"

After saying that, he rushed forward with his sword. The man in black saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated to avoid it. But Ye Ling's martial arts skills were amazing, and he attacked him fiercely with one move after another.

Under the pressure of Ye Ling and others, the man in black gradually lost his strength. Finally, after a heavy blow, he paused and fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Ling walked up quickly, pointed the sword at his throat, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why do you want to harm His Majesty? Do you know what the punishment for your crime is?"

The man coughed a few times, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "I am an assassin sent by the Hades of the Hades Palace. My mission is to kill your queen and seize the Xuanhuang Jade!"

Huang Xi heard this, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes. So this man is actually from the Pluto Palace? It seems that this matter is not just a simple personal grudge, but involves a bigger undercurrent.

"Pluto's Palace?" Ye Ling frowned, "How dare you be so presumptuous as to hurt His Majesty in front of me! Well, in that case, I will let you taste the power of the Sword of the Divine Capital!"

After saying this, he raised the sword in his hand high, ready to kill the assassin in front of him with one blow.

"Stop!" Huang Xi suddenly stopped him. She stepped forward and looked down at the man in black. "Since you are sent by the Pluto Palace, come back to Shendu with us."

Ye Ling and the other guards looked at her in astonishment and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why don't you kill him?"

Huang Xi said calmly: "Since he holds the secret of Pluto's Palace, let him go back alive. We will definitely be able to extract more useful information from him."

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "As you command, Your Majesty."

So, everyone tied up the man in black who had lost his ability to resist and escorted him back to the capital.

Stepping into the familiar city again, Huang Xi felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart. She seemed to have a vague feeling that this accident was probably just the beginning, and more unknown variables would occur next.

……

At this moment, in another corner of the capital, in a palace hidden in the shadows, a man in a black robe was holding a bright red gem and sneering.

"Hmph, it seems our assassin failed. But it doesn't matter, Huang Xi, you can't escape my clutches after all. As long as I master the Xuanhuang Jade, this divine domain will sooner or later submit to my feet!"

He stroked the gem in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light. It seems that the capital of the gods is about to face a great disaster!
