Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The night was dark and the wind was biting. Di Huang stood alone on the towering mountain, looking out at the starry sky. She stared at the stars in the sky, and her deep eyes revealed a rare confusion and thoughts.

"It's been seventy-four reincarnations..." She murmured to herself. Seventy-four rebirths, seventy-four reincarnations, she has experienced the vicissitudes and desolation of the world. In the long years, she witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties and the replacement of civilizations, but she could never find her own destination.

Di Huang raised her hand to wipe away the barely perceptible tears from the corners of her eyes. As a goddess, she should have been detached from the world, indifferent to fame and fortune, and independent of time. However, years of loneliness and confusion made her gradually lose herself.

At this moment, the cold night wind blew across her tall nose, bringing a slight chill. She looked up at the sky, her eyes becoming more determined. "This time, I must find my own path."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Huang's figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the night.

...

The next day, Di Huang came to a secret place for cultivation with determination. The environment here was quiet and peaceful, and it was a good place for her to seek spiritual comfort.

Pushing the path through the forest, she came to a stream hidden in the dense forest. The stream was gurgling and clear, reflecting the blue of the sky. Under the sunlight, the stream sparkled with a dazzling luster, as if a silver ribbon was flowing slowly.

Emperor Huang looked down at the beautiful scene in front of her from a high place, and couldn't help but smile. She took off her gauze outer robe, revealing the soft white dress underneath. Her originally serious and stern face gradually relaxed, and her slightly lazy expression revealed a bit of compassion and gentleness.

She slowly walked to the stream and stepped barefoot into the cool water. The fine sand touched her skin, giving her an inexplicable sense of peace and comfort. Emperor Huang slightly opened her arms, as if to embrace this tranquility and freedom.

She took a deep breath and began to slowly sing a melodious and moving ballad. This was an ancient fairy song that praised the kindness of the earth and the spirituality of all things. Every note contained Emperor Huang's thoughts and yearnings for this world.

As the song echoed, everything around seemed to calm down and listen to this warm confession. The birds stopped singing, and the stream gradually stopped flowing. Even the air became stagnant, as if it was also attracted by this moving song.

Di Huang was immersed in her own singing, with gentle eyes and a solemn expression. At this moment, she seemed to be integrated with this world and became an indispensable part of this pure land.

The singing gradually faded away, and Di Huang opened her eyes. In the silent space, only the sound of the gurgling stream remained. She picked up her outer robe again, and after a moment of contemplation, she turned around and left this pure land, embarking on a long journey again.

...

It was another starry night, and Emperor Huang was walking alone on a quiet path. The environment here was beautiful, the trees were lush, and the air was fresh and pleasant.

She walked slowly forward, occasionally stopping to admire the beautiful scenery along the way. A bird flew over the treetops, chirping sweetly, causing Emperor Huang to smile uncontrollably.

"This is really a good place." She sighed softly, "It's quiet and elegant, very suitable for finding inner peace."

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, she suddenly heard a movement in front of her. Emperor Huang looked up vigilantly and saw a dark red light flashing in the forest, as if something was flying in her direction.

The next moment, a dark red beam of light shot out from the bushes and rushed towards her. Emperor Huang was quick-witted and dodged the attack with a flick of her body. The dark red beam of light brushed past her shoulder, leaving a deep burn mark on the ground.

Emperor Huang frowned and looked sharply into the depths of the woods. He saw a black shadow passing by quickly and disappearing among the dense trees.

"Who is it? Why did you attack me?" Di Huang looked stern and alert. She kept a calm breath and carefully observed the movements around her, ready to deal with the next wave of attacks at any time.

At this moment, a familiar aura approached from behind. Di Huang's eyes shone, and she turned around quickly, forming a seal with her right hand, and a powerful shield quickly covered her whole body.

A dark ball of energy came at her like an arrow, hitting the shield fiercely. The powerful impact made Di Huang stagger, but the shield remained motionless, firmly protecting her safety.

"It turned out to be you." Emperor Huang saw the attacker's figure clearly and couldn't help showing a trace of surprise, "I didn't expect it to be you."

A man wearing pitch-black armor and with a ferocious face slowly walked out from the bushes. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his gaze pierced towards Emperor Huang like a sharp blade.

"Since it's you, why do you need to hide?" Emperor Huang said calmly, but anger was already accumulating in his eyes. "What do you want to do? Why did you attack me?"

The man snorted coldly and said slowly: "Emperor Huang, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look so superior. It seems that after so many years, you haven't changed at all."

"What did you say?" Di Huang frowned, obviously very confused by these words.

"Hmph, don't play dumb." The man sneered, "I know you have been looking for your own path and trying to break through this cycle. But now, I want to tell you that you will never escape this fate and will never find your own destination!"

Emperor Huang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "So that's how it is. So you've been secretly watching me. What a 'confidant' you are."

The man's expression froze when he heard this, and he obviously didn't expect Emperor Huang to react like this.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Di Huang raised her hand and a powerful energy wave burst out from her palm and rushed straight towards the man in front of her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man immediately gathered a black shield to resist. But the attack of Emperor Phoenix was too powerful, and it broke through the black shield in an instant and hit the man's chest directly.

"Ah——!" The man screamed in pain, and was flung away by the energy wave and fell heavily to the ground.

Di Huang walked forward slowly, looking down at the man lying on the ground. The man's face was twisted, and he was obviously seriously injured. She said coldly: "It seems that you are not a formidable opponent. Since you think so highly of me, I will help you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her palm, and a dazzling light burst out from her palm, covering the man's whole body. The man was covered in golden light and let out painful roars.

After a while, the golden light gradually disappeared, replaced by a completely lifeless corpse. Emperor Huang retracted his palm and looked down at the dead body in front of him, with a little disappointment in his eyes.

"It seems that you are nothing special." She sighed softly and turned to leave the place.

...

Not long after Emperor Huang left, a woman in a gorgeous robe slowly walked out from the bushes. Her eyes were bright and her expression was solemn, and it was obvious that she had just witnessed the whole process.

She walked slowly to the body, squatted down and took a closer look. The body was burnt black, the flesh peeled off, revealing mottled bones. She sighed softly, stretched out her hand, and a ball of light blue light condensed in her palm, covering the body.

After a while, the light gradually dissipated, and the body on the ground disappeared. The woman stood up and looked in the direction where Emperor Huang left with a complicated expression.

"It seems that Emperor Huang's power has made a new breakthrough." She murmured to herself, "This is really disturbing. However, it seems that she is not completely unbeatable."

The woman smiled slightly, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

...

In the long night, Di Huang walked alone on the forest path in silence. She looked a little tired, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"I have defeated another opponent." She whispered to herself, "But what's the use? What is my goal? How long will I continue to search in this cycle?"

She sighed and looked up at the starry sky above her head. The endless night sky made her feel unprecedentedly small and lonely.

"How far can I go? Can I really find my own path?" Emperor Huang lowered his head, a trace of pain in his eyes.

At this moment, there was a faint sound in front of her. Emperor Huang looked over vigilantly and saw a slight movement in the bushes. She narrowed her eyes and walked slowly towards there.

Pushing aside the branches, Emperor Huang's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a young girl lying on the ground, with scars all over her body, obviously she had suffered a serious injury. Her face was pale, her breathing was weak, and it seemed that she would die at any time.

"What's going on?" Di Huang frowned and squatted down nervously to check on the girl.

The girl was breathing heavily, her eyes were unfocused, and she seemed unconscious. Emperor Huang noticed that she had a serious wound on her abdomen, which was bleeding profusely.

"It's too dangerous. She must be treated as soon as possible." Di Huang's heart tightened, and he immediately stretched out his palm. A ball of warm energy began to flow through the girl's wound.

Under Emperor Huang's treatment, the girl's wounds gradually healed and her complexion gradually regained some redness. After a while, the girl opened her eyes and looked at Emperor Huang in confusion.

"Who...who are you?" she asked weakly.

Emperor Huang smiled gently: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you. You are safe now."

The girl stared at Emperor Huang blankly, with a hint of uneasiness and doubt in her eyes. But soon, she completely relaxed and showed a grateful smile.

"Thank...thank you." she said softly.

Emperor Huang nodded and reached out to help the girl up. Although the girl had difficulty walking, she still tried her best to follow behind her.

As the two walked, Di Huang looked back from time to time to ask about the girl's situation. She took good care of her and gave her encouragement from time to time, making the girl feel unprecedented warmth. The girl gradually let down her guard and began to take the initiative to talk to Di Huang.

"What's your name?" Emperor Huang asked gently.

"My name is Xue'er." The girl replied, "I... I don't know what happened. I just remember that I got lost in the mountains and then I encountered danger."

"I see." Emperor Huang pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why are you alone in the mountains? Don't you have any family?"

Xueer was silent for a while, then said softly: "I...I haven't had any family for many years. I've been wandering around outside, relying on my own abilities to survive."

Di Huang felt a pain in his heart. Looking at the lonely and helpless girl in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair.

"Don't worry, you have me as your friend now." She said gently, "I will take good care of you.
