Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

You and I in the past are no longer the same.

Stepping into this familiar yet strange world, I was filled with mixed feelings. This world was where we met, and where we finally broke up. The disputes of the past seemed to be just yesterday, and those pains and obsessions followed me like a shadow, no matter how much I wanted to forget them.

I stood here, quietly looking at the world in front of me, as if everything was reappearing before my eyes. The familiar mountains, the familiar rivers, the familiar sky, all told of the past. My heart was involuntarily filled with waves, and the laughter and tears of the past seemed to be reappearing before my eyes at this moment.

I slowly stepped into this world, and everything around me reminded me of my past. My steps gradually slowed down, as if I didn't want to disturb this peaceful time.

"Huang'er, you are finally back."

A familiar call interrupted my thoughts. I looked up and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes walking slowly towards me. The woman had a beautiful face and noble temperament. She was my closest friend back then - Yaohu Ji.

"Sister, long time no see." I smiled and walked forward to hug her.

"Huang'er, I knew you would come back sooner or later." The fox girl's eyes sparkled with joy, "Do you know that we have been waiting for your return all these years?"

I nodded, and then said with emotion: "I have walked too far in these years, so I have forgotten everything here. But now, when I step into this world again, everything seems to have returned to the original state."

"Yes, everything has changed, but nothing has changed." Yaohu Ji sighed softly, "We are no longer the same as we were back then. The relationship between you and me is no longer the same as it was before."

I was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "Yes, we were like brothers back then, but now we are all far away from home, and I don't know when we can meet again."

"Now that you're back, we should reminisce about the past." Yaohu Ji smiled and took my hand. "Come on, I'll take you to meet the others. Everyone misses you."

I nodded and followed her slowly. Along the way, we were both silent, immersed in our own memories. I know that we are no longer as close as before, but perhaps, this reunion can help us regain our friendship.

Along the way, we passed many familiar scenes. Those places where we once laughed and quarreled, now seem strange to me. Time flies, and everything is gone. I can't help but sigh that the days we used to have are now like clouds and smoke, fleeting.

"Huang'er, we're here." The voice of the fox princess brought me back to reality. I looked up and saw the mountain villa where we met that year. The familiar smell came to my face, and my heart could not help but surge.

"Everyone is waiting for you. Let's go." The fox girl took my hand and led me into the villa.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by my old friends. They were either delighted or surprised, and they all came forward to hug me, as if time had gone back and we were back to those carefree days.

"Huang'er, you're finally back!" They greeted her warmly one by one.

I smiled, feeling the long-lost warmth. "Yes, I'm finally back."

"Where have you been all these years? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Yeah, you don't know how much we miss you."

"Come on, tell us about your experiences over the years."

Curious eyes were cast at me one after another, and I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. But when I saw the joy in their eyes, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.

"Okay, then let me tell you about my experiences over the years." I said with a smile.

In the following time, I told them about my experiences over the years. I told them about the various adventures I encountered when traveling abroad, the ups and downs of working hard in a foreign land, and the gains and reflections I gained while searching for myself in a distant place.

"I see, no wonder we couldn't find you all these years." After listening to my story, everyone sighed. "You must have had a hard time these years."

"Yes, I am very happy to be back here." I said softly, "This is the place that is most familiar to me."

"So what are you going to do now? Do you want to stay and live with us?" a young man asked curiously.

I pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I'm not too sure. These years of experience have given me a new understanding of this world. I need to think carefully about what path I should take in the future."

"It doesn't matter, we will always be here waiting for you." Yaohu Ji patted my hands, "No matter what choice you make, we will support you."

"Thank you." I smiled slightly, feeling warm inside.

In this way, I gathered with these long-lost friends in this familiar mountain villa, reminiscing about the past. Unconsciously, the days passed quietly.

One day, I was walking alone on a mountain path, enjoying the beautiful scenery and immersed in my own thoughts. These days, I have been thinking about how to plan my future.

I am no longer the innocent and kind girl I was back then, but a mature woman who has experienced many trials and tribulations. I understand that I must make a decision to determine the path of my future life.

"Huang'er, you are here." A familiar voice sounded, interrupting my thoughts. I turned around and saw the fox demon Ji walking slowly towards me.

"Sister, why are you here too?" I smiled.

"I knew you were here alone." Yaohu Ji walked up to me and stood shoulder to shoulder with me. "What are you thinking about here alone?"

I was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I have been thinking about my future. These days, I have been looking for my own path here. However, I still can't make up my mind."

"Huang'er, I know this must be very difficult for you." Yaohu Ji sighed softly, "You have experienced too many hardships and accumulated too much experience over the years. However, I believe that as long as you dare to look straight into your heart, you will definitely find your own path in life."

I nodded, and then whispered: "Sister, I have been thinking about why we parted ways back then. Over the years, I have been looking for the answer, but I have never been able to find it."

"Huang'er, that's all in the past." Yaohu Ji reached out and gently stroked my cheek, "We should think carefully about how to regain our old friendship."

"The friendship of the past..." I murmured softly, with complex emotions welling up in my heart.

We were speechless for a while, just standing there quietly, letting time pass by quietly. After a long time, I finally broke the silence: "Sister, I have been thinking, if we had not parted ways back then, what kind of life would we have?"

The fox girl smiled slightly: "Who knows, maybe we will become a pair of carefree sisters, maybe we will become strong people who can keep pace with each other, or maybe... we will become each other's strongest backing."

I nodded, with a hint of nostalgia in my eyes: "Yes, maybe we will become each other's strongest support."

"But, that's all in the past." Yaohu Ji sighed softly, "What we need to do now is to cherish what we have now."

"Sister is right." I smiled. "I will think about it carefully. I believe that one day, I will find my own path."

"That's good." Yaohu Ji took my hand and said, "Let's go back together. Everyone wants to see you."

I nodded and walked back slowly with her.

When I got back to the villa, I found that everyone was waiting for me. When they saw us coming back, they came forward to say hello.

"Huang'er, you're finally back. We thought you had gone off somewhere alone again."

"Yes, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, tell us what you were thinking just now."

I smiled and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about my future. Over the years, I have taken too many detours and experienced too many hardships. But now I finally understand that I must make a choice for my life."

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" a young man asked curiously.

I pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have decided that I will start again and explore more mysteries of this world. These years of experience have made me understand the deepest desires in my heart. I want to find my own path and create my own glory."

"What? You're leaving us?" Everyone became excited in an instant, "But, isn't this your home? Why are you leaving?"

"I understand your concerns." I said softly, "But I have made this decision. These years of experience have made me realize that I can't hide here forever. I must find my own life."

"But we will miss you very much." said the fox girl softly.

"I know." I smiled, "But this is a choice I have to make. I hope you can understand me and support me."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. "Well, since you have made your decision, we can only respect you."

"Thank you." I looked at them gratefully, "I will take good care of myself. When I find my own way, I will definitely come back to see you."

"Then you must be careful." Everyone came forward to hug me, "We will always be here waiting for you."

"Yes, I will." I nodded gently, feeling warm inside.

Just like that, I once again set foot on the road to the unknown. I knew that this time, I would be separated from these friends again. However, I was determined in my heart that I had to make a choice for my life.

I tightened my clothes and stepped forward. Facing the unknowns of the future, I felt a little nervous, but more of an expectation and yearning. There are still too many mysteries waiting for me to explore in this world, and I must not stop here.

"I will definitely find my own path and create my own glory." I clenched my fists and walked forward firmly.
