Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

She slowly opened her eyes, and a magnificent scene came into her hazy vision. The palace was towering into the clouds, with flying eaves and glittering glazed tiles, like a peaceful and solemn palace from heaven descending to the earth.

“Where is this place?”

The woman whispered to herself, but attracted the attention of the maid beside her.

"Saint, you are finally awake. We were so worried." The maid hurried forward and respectfully helped the girl up. "This is Ziwei Palace. You are now in the palace of the Goddess Dihuang."

"Goddess Emperor Phoenix?" The woman frowned slightly, "I remember my name is Ye Lingxue, how can I be a Goddess Emperor Phoenix?"

The maid was surprised and explained quickly: "Saint, you are indeed the Goddess Emperor Phoenix. You experienced a catastrophe a hundred years ago and almost died, but in the end you reversed your fate with your powerful divine power, escaped danger, and returned to become the unparalleled Goddess Emperor in the world today."

"Heavenly calamity? Rebirth?" Ye Lingxue couldn't accept this fact for a while, but she felt that the maid was not lying. She looked down at her face and saw a peerless beauty, with skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as paintings, graceful and elegant, and outstanding temperament, which was very different from the self she remembered.

"It seems that everything I remember has changed with the passage of time." Ye Lingxue sighed, a trace of confusion in her eyes, "How should I face this new life?"

"Don't worry, Saint." The maid hurriedly comforted her, "Although you suffered a heavenly calamity, you were reborn in the end and achieved the brilliant achievements you have today. You are the unparalleled goddess and emperor in the world today, revered and worshipped by thousands of creatures. You just need to continue to uphold justice and maintain peace in the world."

"Really?" Ye Lingxue thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "If that's the case, I should also do my duty. I am the Goddess Emperor Phoenix, and I should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and quickly said, "That's good, the Saint is safe. By the way, the Madam has been waiting outside for a long time, and she must be eager to see you. Do you want to go see her now?"

"Madam?" Ye Lingxue was slightly stunned, "I have a wife?"

"Yes, Saint. When you became the Goddess Emperor Phoenix a hundred years ago, you had already married the Saint Lord Nanling as your wife." The maid explained.

"I see." Ye Lingxue nodded, with some guesses in her mind, "Okay, then I'll go meet my wife now."

Following the maid's lead, Ye Lingxue stepped out of the palace and came to a garden. She saw a woman in luxurious clothes and elegant temperament walking towards her, with a look of nostalgia and excitement on her face.

"Lingxue, you finally woke up." The woman came forward and hugged Ye Lingxue, tears in her eyes, "I was so worried about you, worried that you would never wake up again."

Ye Lingxue was a little overwhelmed by this sudden hug, but she still patted the woman's back gently, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

The woman then loosened her embrace and looked up into Ye Lingxue's eyes, "Do you know how much I miss you and how much I hope you can wake up safely?"

Ye Lingxue shook her head, "I'm sorry, my memory is a little fuzzy, and I don't know the friendship between us. But since you are my wife, I believe we must have a deep relationship."

The woman sighed softly, "I know you've experienced a catastrophe and your memory is a little confused. But no matter what, I will always be by your side and accompany you every step of the way."

As she spoke, the woman took Ye Lingxue's hand and slowly paced in the garden.

"This is the back garden of Ziwei Palace." The woman explained to Ye Lingxue in detail, "There are all kinds of rare flowers planted here, flying cranes, soaring phoenixes, and it is full of vitality and vigor. This is our residence. We have spent many wonderful times here together."

Ye Lingxue listened quietly, nodding and smiling from time to time. Although she was still a little unfamiliar with all this, she felt the deep affection this woman had for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.

"By the way, do you still remember my name?" The woman suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Lingxue expectantly.

"Well, the maid said you are the Southern Spirit Saint." Ye Lingxue thought for a moment, "I think this should be your name."

"Yes, I am the Southern Spirit Saint." The woman chuckled and nodded, "But since I became your wife, you have always called me Ling'er affectionately."

"Ling'er." Ye Lingxue repeated softly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips involuntarily.

"Do you remember?" Saint Lord Nanling looked into Ye Lingxue's eyes, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

"I don't remember clearly." Ye Lingxue shook her head helplessly, "But since you are my wife, I believe I will slowly get to know you and get close to you."

Upon hearing this, Saint Nanling's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she continued without giving up: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are by my side, I will help you recover your memory bit by bit. The bond between you and me is so deep, I believe that as long as there is time, you will be able to regain the good old days we once had."

Ye Lingxue nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I will try my best to recall our story."

The two continued to walk in the garden. Saint Nan Ling recounted their past events while carefully observing the changes in Ye Lingxue's expression.

"By the way, do you know why you encountered a heavenly calamity?" Saint Lord Nanling suddenly asked.

Ye Lingxue shook her head, "I know nothing about this. The maid only said that I encountered a catastrophe a hundred years ago and almost died, but in the end I was reborn with powerful divine power. I don't know the details of what happened."

The Southern Spirit Saint sighed, "That catastrophe was truly thrilling. At that time, in order to save this world, you faced countless powerful demons and monsters alone, but you eventually escaped danger and became the unrivaled Goddess and Emperor Phoenix of today."

"I see." Ye Lingxue nodded, "It seems that I did have extraordinary cultivation and strength at that time."

"Yes." The Southern Spirit Saint smiled slightly, "And you not only possess amazing combat power, but also extraordinary wisdom and kindness. You protect the world with lofty ideals and a sense of justice, and are deeply admired by all living beings. You are the most respected goddess and emperor phoenix in the world today."

Ye Lingxue pondered for a moment, "In this case, I think I should recover my memory as soon as possible and fulfill my responsibilities."

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side to help you recover your memory as soon as possible." The Southern Spirit Saint gently held Ye Lingxue's hand, "As long as I am here, you will definitely be able to regain your past."

Ye Lingxue smiled slightly, feeling the warm palm of Saint Nanling, and couldn't help but feel a sense of peace in her heart.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and a maid ran over in a panic.

"Saint, something terrible has happened!" the maid said breathlessly, "A large-scale monster attack broke out in Beilingzhou, causing countless casualties among the people. The city has fallen into a serious crisis!"

"What?" The Southern Spirit Saint's face darkened. "Something happened in Northern Spirit Province?"

"Yes, ma'am." The maid replied quickly, "The monsters suddenly attacked and the people are in dire straits. Many cities in Beilingzhou have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation. The people need our help!"

The Southern Spirit Saint narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is terrible. How dare these monsters be so rampant and endanger the people of my Goddess Emperor Phoenix."

As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Ye Lingxue beside her, "Lingxue, although you have just woken up, as the Goddess Emperor Phoenix, you have the responsibility to save this world. Now Beilingzhou is in crisis, we must go to support it as soon as possible."

Ye Lingxue pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Okay, I'm ready to go. As the Goddess Emperor Phoenix, it is my responsibility to protect the people."

"That's good." The Southern Spirit Saint said with a gratified smile, "With you here, I believe we can quickly put an end to this monster chaos. We will set off for the Northern Spirit Province now."

After saying that, the two of them followed the maid and hurried to Beilingzhou.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Lingxue and the Southern Spirit Saint had arrived at the important town of Beilingzhou. They saw that this city, which should have been prosperous, was now in ruins, with dilapidated buildings, smoke and dust everywhere, and the atmosphere was filled with despair and panic.

"It's really miserable here." Saint Lord Nanling frowned and sighed, "These monsters are really merciless."

"Let's go check the situation." Ye Lingxue said in a deep voice.

The two men hurried to the city square, only to see a large number of wounded civilians gathered there. They all looked terrified, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a terrible battle.

"Saint, Madam!" An old man stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you for coming in time. This group of monsters is too powerful, and we ordinary people can't resist it at all. They have successively captured many towns around us, and their goal is to take down this small town. We are really unable to do it, and we beg the Saint to help us."

"Don't worry, we will definitely get rid of these monsters for you." Ye Lingxue said in a deep voice, "You go and take care of the wounded first, and after we have dealt with these monsters, we will come and rebuild your home."

"Thank you so much, Saint." The old man knelt down excitedly, "With you here, we will definitely be able to regain hope of life."

After saying this, the old man hurried forward to settle the people.

"Ling Xue, let's go and deal with those monsters now." Saint Lord Nan Ling said with a firm look.

Ye Lingxue nodded, "Okay, let's go save this world together!"

The two walked quickly to the outside of the city, one in front and one behind. They saw dozens of monsters of various shapes frantically attacking the city wall, making waves of terrifying roars.

"These monsters look really powerful." Ye Lingxue frowned slightly, "Is my divine power enough to fight against them?"

"Don't worry, I'm here with you." The Southern Spirit Saint held her hand tightly, "Let's go fight together. I believe we can defeat them."

Ye Lingxue took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, let's go!"

The two flew up and stood in the air. Ye Lingxue waved her hands, and a surge of divine power instantly emanated, turning into a sky-wide glow, and fiercely bombarded the monsters like a pouring divine thunder.

"Ahhh——" The monsters let out miserable screams as they were enveloped by the divine power and their bodies began to fall apart.

The Southern Spirit Saint followed closely behind, forming seals with his hands. A tremendous amount of spiritual power gathered and turned into a sea of ​​fire that swept towards the group of monsters.

"Go to hell, you evil monsters!" Saint Nan Ling shouted angrily with his eyes as bright as torches.

The flames instantly surrounded the monsters, crackling and burning their bodies. The monsters roared in pain, struggling in the sea of ​​fire, and finally turned into dust.

"What a powerful force!" Ye Lingxue was amazed.
