Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

A plum blossom blooms alone, standing gracefully. On the shore of Phoenix Lake, an ancient pavilion stands quietly in the woods, its dark-green eaves reflected on the tranquil lake, looking particularly majestic.

This beautiful place is the secluded residence of the goddess Emperor Huang.

Inside the palace, a woman in white clothes as elegant as flowing clouds was sitting quietly with her zither in her arms. She had clear and handsome features and a faint smile on her lips, as if she was intoxicated by the music. This was the world-famous goddess Di Huang, who was resting here to cultivate her mind and nature, away from the secular world.

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the silence. A stream of light passed by the window, and then a handsome young man appeared in the hall. He was tall and straight, with bright eyes, and a bit of laziness and pride on his handsome face.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." The young man bowed.

"I know it's you, get up." The Goddess Emperor Phoenix raised her eyes and glanced at him, saying lightly.

"The Queen has been living in seclusion here since she severely defeated the Demon King. I would like to know if the Queen is doing well recently?" The young man looked concerned.

"It's still fine." The goddess Dihuang nodded slightly, "but I have always had a feeling of uneasiness these days."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the young man asked eagerly.

The goddess Di Huang stared at him for a moment and then slowly said, "I remember you once said that you were willing to serve me and be my right-hand man. Now is the time when I need you."

The young man's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this: "Just give me your orders, Queen. I will do my best!"

The goddess Di Huang smiled slightly: "I have a task for you."

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the distant sky, and said calmly: "A few days ago, I received news that a powerful demon army was heading towards Middle-earth. They claimed that they wanted to attack humans and seize this world."

The young man frowned: "The demon tribe? How dare they be so arrogant and bully others too much! The Queen wants me to investigate the details of this matter?"

"That's right." The Goddess Dihuang turned around and said, "Although this demon army is powerful, its whereabouts are secretive and difficult to grasp. I want you to disguise yourself as an ordinary traveler, sneak into their camp, secretly investigate their details, and then report to me."

"Don't worry, Queen. I will be very careful and won't make any mistakes," the young man said solemnly.

"Very good." The Goddess Dihuang nodded slightly, "In addition, I also want you to pay more attention on the way to see if there are any abnormal situations. In these years, the world has been peaceful, but I always have a feeling of insecurity."

"As you command." The young man replied, "I will set off right away."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said hesitantly: "Empress, I have something I would like to ask you."

"Go ahead." Goddess Emperor Huang said lightly.

"Although this mission is important, I am really worried about the Queen being here alone. If anything unexpected happens, I am worried..." The young man hesitated to speak.

The goddess Di Huang smiled slightly: "I understand your worries. But I know my limits, you just need to do your own thing without worry."

The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he bowed deeply again and then turned and left.

When his figure disappeared into the forest, the eyes of the goddess Di Huang softened. She sighed softly, walked in with a wave of her sleeves, and sat back in front of the zither.

After a moment, the melodious piano music sounded again, echoing in this quiet pavilion in the forest.

...

A few days later, a group of travelers were walking along a mountain trail. The leader was a tall, handsome young man, followed by several ordinary-looking companions.

This young man was the one who was entrusted by the Goddess Emperor Huang to investigate the movements of the demon race. This time, he disguised himself as an ordinary traveler and hid his true identity to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Along the way, he has been keeping a high level of vigilance, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. But so far, everything is relatively calm, and nothing unusual has been found.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead. The young man immediately stopped and listened carefully. He heard screams in the distance, mixed with the sound of horse hooves and weapons colliding.

"It looks like something happened ahead." The young man frowned and said to his entourage, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go check out the situation."

After saying that, he hurried forward.

When they got to the front, they saw a caravan being intercepted and robbed by a group of tough men. The merchants were panicked and desperately called for help, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

The young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him coldly. He originally wanted to leave quietly, but seeing the situation in front of him, he decided to help.

"Stop!" He strode forward and shouted coldly.

The robbers turned around upon hearing the sound, raised their swords and glared at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.

"Humph, what kind of person is this? How dare you get involved in our business?" one of the rude guys shouted, "Get out of here, or I'll kill you too!"

The young man smiled and said calmly: "Since you are so arrogant, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, pushed with both palms, and slammed into the burly man. With a "bang", the burly man flew out and hit the tree heavily, letting out a scream.

Seeing this, the other bandits roared and rushed forward, brandishing their swords and knives. But the young man was agile and easily avoided their attacks, and subdued several of the most ferocious guys with his backhand.

In a short moment, all the bandits who were originally ready to attack were knocked to the ground by this stranger and could no longer move.

Upon seeing this, the merchants exclaimed in amazement and thanked the young man again and again.

"Thank you very much for saving me, big brother. May I know your name?" A white-haired old man stepped forward and said sincerely.

"You're welcome." The young man smiled, "I was just passing by here, and when I saw you were in danger, I stepped forward to help."

"Thank you so much!" The old man nodded repeatedly, "If you hadn't helped us, we would have been in trouble. Tell me, how can I repay your kindness?"

"No need to repay." The young man shook his head, "I just happened to pass by here and helped. You guys should leave quickly and don't stay here any longer."

"Thank you again, then. May God bless you and have a bright future!" The old man thanked them repeatedly and led the caravan to continue on their journey.

The young man watched them leave, and suddenly remembered that there were other people accompanying him, so he turned around and walked in the same direction.

I saw those travelers walking out of the woods cautiously, looking a little embarrassed.

"What? Didn't I tell you to wait here?" the young man asked calmly.

"Reply...Replying to the big brother, we heard the noise over there and were worried that something might happen to you, so we secretly followed here to take a look." A timid guy said tremblingly.

The young man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You guys are so cautious, it's ridiculous. Let's go, let's move on."

Several people hurriedly followed, cautiously following behind the young man.

Along the way, the young man remained highly alert and kept a close eye on the surroundings. But to his surprise, until he was almost at his destination, everything was still calm and he did not notice anything unusual.

Finally, after another day's journey, they finally arrived at their destination - a remote mountain village. It was a quiet and secluded place, very suitable for hiding.

The young man led a few people straight to a side room, gently opened the door and walked in.

A middle-aged man with a ferocious face was sitting by the fire smoking a pipe. When he saw them come in, he glanced at them coldly.

"How is it? What did you gain?" the man asked in a deep voice.

The young man bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, we have arrived at our destination, but so far, we have not found anything unusual."

"What?" The man frowned, "Is there really no information to follow?"

"However, we encountered a robbery on the way here." The young man said calmly, "I helped and was able to stop the robbers."

"Oh?" A gleam of light flashed in the man's eyes, "It seems that you are really good at it."

He threw his pipe to the ground, stood up, and looked the young man up and down: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that you really did not disappoint me."

The young man bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Very good." The man nodded, "In that case, you stay here and continue to gather information. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."

"Yes, sir." the young man responded.

"Okay, you go down first." The man waved his hand.

The young man bowed respectfully again, turned and walked out of the room.

Looking at his back, the man narrowed his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the operation is finally about to begin." He muttered to himself, "When the time comes, that conceited woman will never be able to escape."

...

At the same time, on the shore of Phoenix Lake in the distance, the goddess Di Huang was standing alone by the lake, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before her.

Suddenly, her expression became stern and her brows furrowed slightly.

"What's going on? Could it be..." She murmured to herself, looking a little worried.

After a moment, she turned around abruptly and walked quickly into the pavilion.

"Well, it seems that it is time to take action." A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes, "I will never let anyone destroy this tranquility."

...

At this moment, the distant sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

A powerful and strange aura is surging towards here.
