In her past life, she was the only ancient god who existed. She had no emotions, no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, did not eat human grains, and had never tasted any human flavors, whether emotions or food.

At that time, the Three Realms were not at peace. As people's evil thoughts increased, demons used these evil thoughts to gradually strengthen themselves.

The great demon sought to seize control of the Three Realms. In an instant, the Three Realms descended into chaos. People were gradually bewitched by the demon; greed, anger, and ignorance intensified. Humans began to kill and deceive one another, slowly becoming monstrous and ruthless.

An ancient god traveled to the human world and saw people gambling in a gambling den. They became more and more addicted to gambling and eventually even sold their own children.

The woman cried out outside in a heart-wrenching voice, "Give me back my child! My poor child! Stop gambling! You've sold all our children!"

The ancient gods also saw a man on a pleasure boat who, for money, wanted to kill his companion and pushed him into the river.

"Help! Help me!"

Even the ancient gods wanted to save them, but there were just too many such cases in the human world.

There are too many to save, there's simply no way to save them all.

In order to eliminate this great demon, the celestial realm tried every possible method.

However, human evil thoughts can never be completely eradicated.

The ancient gods gathered the most powerful forces in the world, capable of purifying all things.

To avert a catastrophe in the Three Realms, she challenged the Great Demon King.

On a vast, empty land, the ancient god and the great demon fought for three days and three nights.

The great demon lord sent his demonic offspring to bewitch the world.

At this time, it was a year of famine in the human world.

The great demon tricked people into exchanging their own children to eat when they were starving.

A woman regretted her actions and ran crying towards her child.

"No! My child—give me back my child!"

The ancient god could no longer bear to watch. He didn't want to waste any more time with the great demon, nor did he want any more lives to die in vain. So he decided to exhaust all his strength and die with the great demon.

The ancient god used all his magical power to tear the great demon to pieces.

At the same time, the ancient gods also perished.

After she died, a voice rang in her ears.

"What unfulfilled wishes do you still have?"

An ancient god said, "I want to go to the human world and experience its many flavors."

Life is full of joys and sorrows, are you sure you want to go?

Ancient God: "Yes, I'm going."

"Yes, you've protected the Three Realms for so long without ever letting your guard down. This time, you should be a carefree child. Go—"

Ancient God: "And what about the demon?"

"As long as evil thoughts arise in the human heart, demons will be reborn. Then, you will protect humanity in another guise!"

The ancient god's mount was a phoenix.

In the great battle between the ancient gods and the great demon, the Phoenix was also fighting against other demons.

When the ancient gods perished, the Phoenix was ambushed by the demons, its magic was sealed, and it was transformed into a wild pheasant, ending up in the human world.

The phoenix sensed a trace of an ancient god in the human world, and thus it made a great effort to find the ancient god.

However, since he had no magical powers and was still in the form of a wild pheasant, he was hunted everywhere and almost became a human's snack.

"Alas! I, a dignified Phoenix, have fallen to such a state! Ancient God-King, where are you?"

A torrential downpour forced the phoenix to seek shelter in a dilapidated temple.

Several homeless men were sleeping in the dilapidated temple when a pheasant ran in, and their mouths watered.

"Where did this pheasant come from? Let's pluck it and roast it tonight!"

"This pheasant is actually quite good-looking! But I'm starving, so its good looks are useless to me."

"Hey guys! Grab it quick!"

Several homeless men surrounded the phoenix with smiles on their faces, reaching out their dirty arms to grab the pheasant.

Phoenix: "Don't touch me! Get away!"

The pheasant clucked anxiously.

The homeless man just reached out and grabbed.

The pheasant flapped its wings and flew away, but it didn't fly far.

A homeless man suddenly grabbed the pheasant's leg.

"Hahaha! Great! We're going to have delicious roast chicken today!"

"It's been so long since I've had any meat. If only I had a couple of ounces of wine."

"Stop dreaming! We should be grateful to have enough to eat. Quick, go start a fire!"

Phoenix listened to several homeless men discussing how they planned to eat her, and her heart was filled with helplessness.

"Alas! I, a phoenix, never imagined I would fall to such a state!"

"Let me go! Let me go now!"

But no matter how much the phoenix struggled, it couldn't break free from the homeless man's grasp.

Phoenix: "I'm doomed! I'm definitely doomed this time! Ancient God, I'm so sorry, I haven't even had a chance to meet you, and now I'm being roasted and eaten like this. Waaaaah..."

Xu Ruyun's sleeping daughter heard the phoenix calling.

[Oh no, the Phoenix is ​​in trouble. But what can I, in my tiny body, do to help her? This is so worrying!]

The tiny baby's brow was furrowed, but her biological clock prevented her from opening her eyes.

Even if she opened her eyes, what could she do? She had just been born; she couldn't run out to save the phoenix.

[What to do? Yes. My divine artifact, where is it? The Flame God Sword! Quickly, go save the Phoenix!]

The baby was extremely anxious and deeply longed for her magic weapon.

Since that battle, her divine artifacts have been scattered among the mortal realm. No one knows where they are now. And it's uncertain whether anyone can hear her call now.

In a deep, remote forest, a sword lies buried in the earth, seemingly having heard something.

The sword leaped into the air, emitting countless rays of light, then concealed its light and flew off in one direction.

The phoenix had several feathers plucked out, and it cried out in pain.
