Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Huanghuang slowly opened her eyes, and in the haze she saw a familiar scene in front of her. This was the place where she first woke up - the place of expectation. A few years ago, she was reborn here, full of hope and determination to change the world. Now she came here again, but with more vicissitudes and helplessness.

She stood up and looked around. It was still as beautiful as ever, with lush green forests, sparkling lakes, the air filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the sun shining on the earth, making everything exude a warm glow. But in Huanghuang's eyes, it was a little more desolate.

"Back here again." She murmured to herself and sighed softly.

She walked slowly along the familiar path. She had walked this path countless times and it was as familiar to her as if it were her home. Along the way, she saw the scenes of her rebirth. Those memories came to her mind inadvertently, making her smile.

"I was so naive at the beginning, thinking that I could change the world with my own strength." She shook her head, "but in the end I failed and wasted my precious time."

She stopped and looked into the distance. That was the place she had always dreamed of - the City of Narrative Emotions. The magnificent city stood in the distance, exuding a charming attraction. Once upon a time, she had made great achievements there and became a well-deserved goddess and emperor. But now, she dared not approach it easily.

"I once built a beautiful world there, but it was destroyed in the end." She sighed, "Now, how can I face those who once followed me?"

She lowered her eyes, and the past flashed through her mind. Those moments that once made her excited and proud were now gone. She was once full of ambition and thought she could change the world, but in the end she failed.

"Am I really so incompetent?" she asked herself, "Am I incapable of taking steps to rebuild this world?"

She raised her head again and looked towards the distant city. The scene before her instantly evoked the deep contradictions in her heart. She once had everything, but now she has nothing. She used to be the master of this world, but now she has become a homeless wanderer.

"I can't just give up like this." She said with a firm look in her eyes, "I must pick myself up again and rebuild the beautiful world I once built."

She took a step and walked towards the city of narrative emotions. Although her steps were difficult, her heart was full of determination. She knew that in that city, there were still many people who had followed her, and they must be waiting for her return.

Along the way, she encountered many familiar scenes. These scenes once again evoked her memories and made her feel extremely involved. In the past, she had experienced countless ups and downs here, from an ordinary girl to becoming the queen of this world.

She stopped and thought about everything that happened. Those moments that once made her excited and proud have now become memories. But even so, she still did not give up. She knew that as long as she persisted, she would be able to rebuild the beautiful world she once built.

Finally, she arrived at the gate of the City of Narrative Emotions. The city was still tall and magnificent, exuding a familiar atmosphere. She took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the gate.

As soon as she entered the city, a familiar scene immediately came into view. It was still as prosperous and lively as ever, with people coming and going. However, she sensed a hint of an unusual atmosphere.

"What's going on?" She looked around in confusion, "Why does it seem like something is missing here?"

She walked forward along the familiar road, and gradually realized that something was wrong. The people on the street looked anxious and unnatural. Some people even looked around in fear, as if they were hiding from something.

"What happened?" Huang Huang frowned, "Why did this place become like this?"

She quickened her pace and explored forward. Finally, she arrived in front of the palace that once belonged to her. However, she found that the gate was closed and there was no guard around.

"Could it be..." Her heart tightened and she quickly pushed open the door and rushed in.

The sight that came into her eyes made her gasp. The originally magnificent palace was now in ruins, with ruins everywhere.

"How could this happen?" She looked around in horror, "What on earth happened?"

She walked quickly through the palace and headed for the inner hall. Along the way, she saw countless broken furniture and decorations, and countless broken documents and scrolls scattered on the ground. Everything that she had built with her own hands was now reduced to ruins.

When she finally arrived at the inner hall, she saw an even more heartbreaking scene. The originally magnificent inner hall was now in ruins, with bloodstains everywhere.

Huang Huang covered her mouth in horror, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief. This was once her last stronghold, but now it has fallen to such a state.

"What on earth is going on?" she murmured to herself, "My hard work...my everything, why did it become like this?"

She clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling. She couldn't believe that the glory she had once created had now fallen into such a miserable situation.

"Could it be... Could it be that my opponent has won?" She thought painfully, "Have I lost everything just like this?"

She slowly walked to the center of the inner hall, looking at the devastated scene around her, unable to calm down for a long time. Everything that she had built with her own hands was now so miserable. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart by a knife, and her heart was in great pain.

At this moment, she suddenly found something. It was a bloodstained cloak, and the familiar pattern made her heart sink instantly. She picked up the cloak tremblingly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"No, this is impossible..." she murmured, "Could it be that they..."

She hugged the cloak tightly, and tears finally rolled down. She understood that all this was undoubtedly done by her opponent. The beautiful world she built with her own strength was now completely destroyed.

"Why? Why is this happening?" She wailed in pain, "I have given everything... I have tried my best... Why did I still fail?"

She fell to the ground and burst into tears. She had been fighting for her ideals all these years, but now it was all in vain. She felt helpless, desperate, and lost like never before.

Just as she was crying bitterly, she suddenly heard a faint noise. She stopped crying and raised her head alertly.

She saw something moving in a corner. She walked over carefully and found that it was a wounded person.

"Are...are you okay?" she asked in a low voice.

The man raised his head weakly, his eyes full of pain and despair.

"You...are you the Goddess Emperor Phoenix?" the man said softly, "Great...you are finally back..."

Huanghuang looked at the person in front of her in surprise. This person actually knew her and was happy to see her return.

"Who are you? What happened?" she asked carefully.

The man spoke with difficulty: "I... I am your loyal subordinate... one of the people who followed you to build this empire..."

Huang Huang was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils shrank suddenly: "Could it be that you were defeated?"

The man nodded, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness: "Yes...we were breached by the enemy...they destroyed everything here..."

Huang Huang tightly grasped the man's hand, her heart in turmoil: "What on earth happened? Why has my empire fallen to this point?"

The man spoke weakly: "Not long after you left, a powerful enemy force suddenly appeared... They had a clear goal and attacked our hinterland directly... Although we tried our best to resist, we were finally defeated..."

There was a flash of anger in Huanghuang's eyes: "So what is your current situation? Where are the others?"

The man shook his head with difficulty: "Most of the others have died... Our army was completely annihilated, and even the city lord died on the battlefield... I am the survivor and I fled here..."

Huang Huang was shocked after hearing this, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She couldn't believe that the empire she had worked so hard to build would collapse so quickly after she left.

"This is impossible... How could this be possible..." She said tremblingly, "I have tried my best... How could I fail?"

The man comforted her weakly: "Don't be sad... It's all our fault that we were too conceited and failed to protect everything you left behind... We... We must have failed to fulfill our responsibilities..."

Huang Huang shook her head painfully: "No, this is not your fault... This is entirely my responsibility! I should have been here all along, protecting this empire in person... But I was conceited and thought that everything would go well..."

She muttered to herself, with countless complicated thoughts flashing through her mind. She once thought she had succeeded, she thought she could bring a beautiful change to the world. But now, it seems that she still underestimated the power of the enemy.

"I...how did I fail like this?" she said painfully, "I have given everything, but I was still defeated..."

Hearing her words, the man reached out and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't blame yourself... This is not your fault, nor is it our fault... We were just defeated by a powerful enemy..."

Huang Huang looked at him, her eyes full of pain and despair: "But, if I had always been here, perhaps none of this would have happened... I should have always been guarding this place instead of leaving..."

The man smiled slightly: "Don't say that... You left for a greater purpose, it's not a failure... We just lost when you were away..."

After hearing this, Huang Huang finally understood. She understood why she left here in the first place, and she understood what her goal was. Although everything had collapsed now, she still did not give up.

She took a deep breath and her eyes became firm.

"I understand. Even though everything is ruined now, I still can't give up. I must get up again and rebuild the empire I once built!"

She looked at the weak subordinate and said seriously: "Tell me, what is the enemy's current movement? Do you know what strategy they will adopt next?"

The man spoke with difficulty: "From what I know, the enemy has completely taken control of this place... They are dispersing our remaining forces in an attempt to completely destroy our last foundation..."

Huang Huang nodded, "Then we must act quickly. I will regroup our forces and defeat those enemies who are trying to destroy us!"

She held the subordinate's hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and hope.

"I will rebuild this empire and make it the most powerful force in the world again! I will definitely realize my original ideal and bring light and justice to this world!"

The subordinate looked at her, and hope rekindled in his eyes. He nodded weakly, "I believe you can do it, my queen. We will support you until the last moment."

Huang Huang smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together! We want to take back everything that belongs to us!"

She stood up, her eyes filled with unprecedented fighting spirit and determination. She knew that she had to succeed this time.
