Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The demon girl Yun Tianyi was suspended in the air, her eyes closed, her face peaceful. She was wearing a lavender dress, her skin was as white as cream, her hands and feet were slender and elegant. Ripples appeared in the air from time to time, as if an invisible force was protecting her.

Suddenly, Yun Tianyi opened her eyes, her pupils like deep purple pools. She sensed the terrifying aura sweeping over from not far away. The air around her suddenly stagnated and became silent.

A moment later, a powerful energy wave swept in from afar, rushing towards Yun Tianyi. She frowned slightly, stretched out her jade hand, and a purple light immediately completely enveloped the energy wave. There was a loud roar and smoke filled the air.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yun Tianyi looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly. A tall man in blood-red armor was walking slowly towards him in the rolling dust. His eyes were filled with fanaticism and ferocity, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, long time no see." The man spoke in a deep and magnetic voice.

Yun Tianyi looked at him indifferently and did not answer.

"You and I are connected by fate, and today we will finally settle our dispute." The man continued, "You and I are destined to be rivals, and the battle of life and death is about to begin!"

"That's all I have to say. I won't be lenient this time." Yun Tianyi said calmly. She waved her hand, and a brilliant purple light shield immediately enveloped the two of them.

Chapter 1: Rebirth

This is a suffocating dark world.

Here, the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon. Survival is a brutal competition with no friendship or righteousness.

But in this darkness, a dazzling light is slowly reviving.

A beautiful girl opened her eyes, and what she saw was a dark place. She sat up slowly and looked around.

This was a dark and damp dungeon. It was pitch black all around, with only the faint light of torches.

The girl couldn't help but frown, her heart full of doubts. She tried to recall how she got here, but her mind was blank, as if her memory had been wiped out.

"Where is this? How did I get here?" the girl said to herself.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached from afar, and the girl immediately became alert. She looked around, looking for a place to hide, but found that there was nothing around except the stone wall. In desperation, she had to pretend that nothing had happened and sit there, waiting for the arrival of the person.

Soon, a man in black appeared at the door. He had a gloomy face and cold eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a very dangerous person.

"You finally woke up." the man said lightly.

The girl was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Sir, where am I? Can you please tell me what happened?"

The man snorted coldly and said, "You really pretend to be so convincing, but I can see that you are not sincere."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, looked down at the girl, and said viciously: "You were captured here by us. From today on, you are our prisoner."

The girl was shocked and asked quickly: "What? I was caught by you? Why? I am innocent!"

The man sneered and said disdainfully: "Innocent? Humph, who in this world can say that they are truly innocent? You are a chosen chess piece, and from today on, your fate is in our hands."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the girl standing there alone, full of confusion and fear.

After a long time, the girl finally reacted and rushed to the door to call for help, but found that the door was locked tightly.

"No, let me out!" the girl shouted in despair.

However, only the man's cold laughter came from outside the door.

"Let you go? Dream on. You are our prisoner now. You can never escape."

The girl burst into tears and sat down on the ground. She didn't know why she ended up like this, nor did she understand what crime she had committed.

What exactly is this place? Why are there such cruel people? How can she escape?

A feeling of helplessness and despair arose spontaneously, and the girl curled up on the ground, crying bitterly.

After a long time, the girl finally stopped crying and regained her composure. She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and decided not to give up.

"I will definitely escape and survive!" the girl said firmly.

She looked around, looking for anything she could use. Although the dungeon was dark and damp, it was still spacious. The walls were made of solid stone, and there seemed to be some small cracks that could fit a finger.

The girl frowned and thought for a while, then took out a tiny needle from her collar and carefully inserted it into the crack of the stone. She twisted it hard, and the stone actually loosened.

"So that's how it is. The stones here don't seem to be very solid." A glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's eyes.

She continued to try, and finally found a slightly loose stone in a corner. The girl exerted force with both hands and slowly pried it open, revealing a small hole.

"It looks like we have found a breakthrough." The girl smiled, "The next step is to find a way to escape from prison."

Just as she was about to continue, she heard footsteps outside the door. The girl immediately stopped and sat there as if nothing had happened.

Soon, the man in black appeared at the door again, holding a tray with some simple food and water on it.

"It's time to eat." the man said calmly.

A trace of disappointment flashed across the girl's eyes. She knew very well that she couldn't escape yet. But she also knew that she had to save her life first and prepare for escape in the future.

So she smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the man, and took the simple meal.

"Thank you." the girl said sincerely.

The man snorted coldly, turned and left, not noticing the quick gleam of alertness in the girl's eyes.

After the man left, the girl carefully examined the food in her hand. She found that the food looked simple, but the color and texture were very good, and it seemed that some special seasonings were added.

"It seems that the prisoners in this place are not completely abandoned." The girl murmured to herself.

She tasted it carefully, and the feeling of it melting in her mouth made her smile.

"It tastes good. At least it won't poison me."

After finishing her meal, the girl thought carefully about what had just happened. She speculated that she might have been captured here by an unknown force, and the purpose might have some special connection with her.

"Did I really commit a crime and was arrested and detained by them? No, that's impossible. I clearly don't remember anything." The girl frowned and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes.

"No matter what, I must find a way to escape. Since this is a dungeon, there must be an exit. I must explore it carefully."

After saying that, the girl stood up and began to carefully observe this small space. She found that in addition to the stone door, there was actually a small window. Although it was smaller than a human head, it was large enough for a girl to put her arm in.

"It seems that this window is probably the exit to the outside world." The girl secretly rejoiced. She carefully felt the structure of the window and found that it could not be opened directly, and there seemed to be an iron fence outside to block it.

"It seems that it is not easy to escape, but I must find a way." The girl said firmly.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The girl immediately withdrew her hand and sat there pretending nothing had happened.

Soon, a man in gorgeous clothes appeared at the door, holding a thin volume in his hand and with an indifferent expression.

"Are you the new prisoner?" the man asked in a low and gentle voice.

The girl was a little confused, but she still answered respectfully: "Yes, my name is Yun Tianyi. May I ask who you are?"

The man smiled and said calmly: "I am the person in charge here, you can call me Han Yi. I heard that you just woke up, how do you feel?"

The girl was a little surprised. She didn't expect this person to be so kind. She hesitated for a moment and answered carefully: "I... I'm fine, but I don't understand why I'm here. Can you please tell me what happened?"

Han Yi nodded slightly and said: "Well, I don't know exactly what's going on with you. But from the information we have, you should be a special person who has been chosen."

"A special person who was chosen?" Yun Tianyi repeated doubtfully, and then asked, "Then why was I chosen? Did I do something wrong?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason. But judging from your situation, you don't seem to know why you were chosen, right?"

Yun Tianyi nodded, and Han Yi continued: "This is very interesting. It seems that you are probably being manipulated secretly and become a pawn."

At this point, he lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "This world is indeed very complicated. Weak creatures can actually be used as pawns by others."

Yun Tianyi's heart tightened after hearing this, and she vaguely understood something.

"So, what are you going to do?" Yun Tianyi asked carefully.

Han Yi raised his head and smiled: "I will give you a chance to see what kind of person you are. Although this is a cruel place, as long as you can prove your worth, I will do my best to protect you."

After saying that, he reached out and took out a seal from his arms and handed it to Yun Tianyi: "This ring is given to you by me. It can protect you from harm."

Yun Tianyi took it quickly. She looked at the exquisite ring in her hand, her gratitude was beyond words.

"Thank you, Mr. Han. I will definitely work hard to prove myself."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Very good, then it's up to you. I will continue to pay attention to your performance and hope you can find your own path here."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Yun Tianyi alone in deep thought.

After Han Yi left, Yun Tianyi carefully examined the ring in her hand. She found that there were some strange runes engraved on the ring, emitting a faint light.

"It seems that this ring should have some special power." Yun Tianyi murmured to himself.

She carefully put the ring on her hand and felt a gentle power instantly enveloping her whole body.

"Very good, with this ring, I can protect myself better." A trace of determination flashed in Yun Tianyi's eyes.

At this point, she already understood her situation. Although this was an extremely cruel place, as long as she could prove her worth, Han Yi seemed willing to protect her.

"It seems that I must find a chance to escape as soon as possible, but at the same time I must also try to gain Han Yi's trust." Yun Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly and began to plan his own countermeasures.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded again. Yun Tianyi hurriedly hid the ring under her clothes and sat there pretending nothing happened.

Soon, two figures appeared outside the door. One of them was the man in black from before, and the other was a stranger.

"Is this the new prisoner?" the strange man asked in a deep and rich voice.

"Yes, it's her." The man in black answered respectfully.

The strange man took a few steps forward, looked down at Yun Tianyi, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"Well, it looks good. But we still have to be careful.
