Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The floating island was suspended above the waves, and a magnificent imperial city could be vaguely seen in the steaming white clouds. Above the city wall, a young woman was gazing into the distance, her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze penetrating and deep, as if she could see through the secrets of heaven.

She is the goddess Emperor Phoenix, the ruler of this floating city.

"Your Majesty, our army has repelled the bandits at the border and has temporarily stabilized the situation." The female general in purple reported respectfully.

"Well, you did a good job." Emperor Huang nodded slightly, with a hint of majesty between his brows, "But, I feel something is wrong."

"Something's wrong?" the female general asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Emperor Huang frowned slightly, "Recently, there have been frequent riots on the border, which is really abnormal. I suspect there is something else behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty, please enlighten us. We will do our best to investigate!" the female general said respectfully.

"This matter cannot afford to fail." Emperor Huang said calmly, "You go and make the arrangements quickly, I have my own plans."

The female general took the order and withdrew. Emperor Huang stared into the distance alone, with a hint of worry between his brows.

She remembered that several years ago, she was just an ordinary girl. It was not until her rebirth that she unexpectedly gained powerful talents and strength, becoming the peerless goddess of this continent.

However, not long ago, she had a vague feeling that something was about to happen, and this uneasy premonition made her alert at all times.

Soon after, Emperor Huang summoned many ministers to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, this border riot is indeed a bit abnormal. I sent people to investigate secretly and found that these bandits are not just robbers. Their behavior is a bit strange." An old minister said cautiously.

"Oh? What's so strange?" Emperor Huang said indifferently.

"From what we know, these bandits seem to have some mysterious goal. They seem to be targeting our border fortresses intentionally." The old minister said worriedly, "Moreover, their fighting power is beyond our expectations, as if there is some powerful force supporting them."

"Is there someone manipulating this secretly?" Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." The old minister nodded, "We are continuing to investigate this matter, but the progress is not smooth."

"Well, this matter cannot afford to fail." Emperor Huang pondered, "You continue to investigate, I will personally take action."

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" A female official hastily advised, "You are the foundation of our continent. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!"

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Emperor Huang smiled faintly, "This matter concerns national security, how can I sit idly by?"

The ministers looked at each other, and seeing that Emperor Huang insisted, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Soon, Emperor Huang personally led the elite troops to the border.

Along the way, Di Huang's heart was in turmoil. She felt vaguely that this border riot might not be that simple.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the border fortress." The general beside him reported respectfully.

"Very good." Emperor Huang nodded slightly, "We will immediately enter a state of alert and be ready to fight at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The general took the order and left.

Emperor Huang paced alone in the fortress, looking around. This was a border fortress, but it was not as heavily guarded as usual, but rather had a strange tranquility.

"Strange, why is it so peaceful here?" Emperor Huang frowned, "Is it true that someone is secretly manipulating this as the old minister said?"

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds coming from a distance.

"Report, report!" A soldier rushed in in a panic, "The enemy is approaching, there are many of them, and they are aggressive!"

"What?!" Emperor Huang frowned, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. It seems like they are surrounding us from all directions!" the soldier said in panic.

Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes and had a vague guess in his mind.

"Quick, all troops on alert!" Emperor Huang ordered in a deep voice, "Welcome the enemy!"

Soon, the enemy troops surged in like a tide. These bandits were extraordinary, each of them was agile and had superior combat power, which made the Emperor Huang's army unable to cope with them for a while.

"How could this happen?" a general panicked, "They are too strong, we can't resist them at all!"

"Tsk, why don't you go and fight!" Emperor Huang said coldly, "I will definitely be able to defeat these ants one by one!"

As he spoke, a brilliant light suddenly burst out from Emperor Phoenix's body, and a huge momentum swept out, instantly shocking the enemy.

"What, what?" the enemy leader was shocked, "How can there be such a force?"

"It seems that you are nothing more than that." Emperor Huang sneered, "If that's the case, then let this female emperor entertain you well!"

After saying that, Emperor Huang waved his hands, and a brilliant wave of energy swept out instantly, fiercely slamming towards the enemy.

The enemy troops were immediately routed and fled in all directions.

"Stop!" Emperor Huang shouted coldly, "Where do you want to escape to?"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Phoenix launched another attack. Wave after wave of energy was like a punishment from the gods, fiercely suppressing the enemy.

Facing the powerful force of Emperor Phoenix, those bandits were unable to resist and fell into the waves one after another.

Soon, the battle was over. Emperor Huang looked around and said coldly: "It seems that you are no more than this."

"Your Majesty, thank you so much!" A general stepped forward and said respectfully, "Without your help, our army would have been unable to hold on."

"Hmph, a mere ant, is it worthy of this female emperor to take action?" Emperor Huang snorted coldly, "I only took action personally because I was bored."

"Your Majesty is too modest," the general said quickly, "Your power is so great, you are just like a god!"

Emperor Huang glanced at him calmly without saying anything more. Her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

"It seems that there may be other hidden reasons behind this riot." Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes, "Although these bandits are powerful, it is obviously not their real purpose. So, who is the real mastermind behind this?"

She returned to the fortress thoughtfully and began to think about the matter carefully.

At this moment, suddenly a huge explosion was heard in the distance, accompanied by billowing smoke.

"What's going on?" Emperor Huang frowned and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.

I saw that an ammunition depot in the fortress had been blown up, with flames and smoke everywhere.

"Report, report!" A soldier ran over in a panic, "Someone suddenly broke into the ammunition depot and detonated our ammunition! It caused serious damage!"

"What?" Emperor Huang's eyes shone, "There is actually a traitor?"

She was startled and immediately ordered: "Quick, send someone to search and catch the traitor!"

Soon, Emperor Huang's men began to search the fortress comprehensively, trying to find the trace of the traitor.

After a while, a soldier ran over in a hurry, "Report, report! We found a suspicious person near the ammunition depot and are chasing him!"

"Very good, go and capture him quickly!" Emperor Huang said in a deep voice.

Soon, the soldier returned with a man and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, we have caught this suspicious person. He was found at the scene and was trying to escape."

Emperor Huang looked the man up and down, his eyes cold, "Are you the traitor?"

The man was terrified and knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I, I am not! I just happened to pass by and you found me!"

"Oh?" Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes, "If that's the case, why are you running away?"

"I, I'm just, I'm just scared!" The man stammered and defended himself, "I, I'm really not a traitor!"

"Hmph, in that case, let me, the Empress, interrogate you personally!" Emperor Huang said coldly.

As she spoke, she reached out and tapped the man's forehead, and immediately a powerful mental force surged into the man's brain.

"Ah!" The man screamed in pain, "It hurts so much! Please, stop!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Huang said calmly, "I know my limits."

She continued to increase her mental power output while interrogating: "Who are you? Why did you destroy our ammunition depot?"

The man barely spoke in pain, "I, I'm really not a traitor! I just happened to pass by and saw something going on there, so I went over to take a look! Really, I don't have any bad intentions!"

"Oh?" Emperor Huang sneered, "Then why did you run away?"

"I, I'm just scared!" the man begged, "Please, let me go! I really don't know anything!"

Emperor Huang pondered for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, "It seems that you are indeed not the traitor."

She withdrew her mental strength, and the man immediately collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his energy, gasping for breath.

"However, since you have accidentally witnessed this incident, I am sorry that I cannot let you go." Emperor Huang said lightly.

"What?" The man raised his head in horror. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Emperor Huang sneered, "When have I ever killed an innocent person? But since you know about this, I naturally cannot let you leave."

She looked at the generals around her and said, "Lock him up and keep him under guard. Don't let him escape."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The general accepted the order respectfully.

Emperor Huang turned and left, with turbulent waves in his heart.

"It seems that there is indeed something else going on here." She pondered, "That traitor actually dared to blow up the ammunition depot in front of our army. He obviously has a powerful backer. But who is behind this?"

She frowned and couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

At this moment, suddenly a huge explosion was heard in the distance, accompanied by billowing smoke.

"What's going on?" Di Huang was startled and rushed over immediately.

It was seen that another residential area in the fortress had been completely destroyed, with countless civilian casualties.

"Your Majesty, someone just broke in and detonated our ammunition depot!" a general reported in panic, "causing serious casualties!"

Emperor Huang's eyes darkened, "It seems that the traitor is not acting alone."

She gave the order in a deep voice: "Immediately impose martial law and send people to search everywhere. We must find those people!"

Soon, Emperor Huang's men launched a comprehensive search operation.

However, just as they were searching hard, there was another huge explosion, and this time the target was the armory.

"What's going on?!" Di Huang frowned and rushed over immediately.

It was seen that the armory had been completely blown up and countless weapons had been burned.

"Your Majesty, someone just broke in and detonated our armory!" A general reported in panic, "Our armaments have suffered serious damage!"

Emperor Huang's eyes turned cold, "It seems that these people came prepared, and their purpose is very clear."

She gave the order in a cold voice: "All troops are under martial law and on full alert! Whoever dares to attack my empire will be destroyed!"

Soon, Emperor Huang's men launched a comprehensive defense, trying to stop the attackers.

However, at this moment, there was another huge explosion, and this time the target was actually the Emperor Huang's palace.

"What?!" Di Huang frowned and rushed over immediately.

It was seen that a main hall of the palace had been completely destroyed and countless guards were killed or injured.
