Fuxi was disheveled and pale, yet his expression remained calm to the point of being cold. He looked exactly like Yin Chen, with equally handsome features, but he appeared sharper, and his bright eyes shone like stars.

Undeniably, Yin Chen's personality differs in every incarnation, but without exception, he lacks the domineering aura that compels him to suppress everyone he faces. Even as the merman Yin Chen, after concealing his monstrous and bloodthirsty inner self, his outward appearance is that of a naive and harmless fool.

Yin Bei, however, is different. No matter the situation, his status, or who he is facing, he always appears very assertive. Beneath his calm and sharp exterior lies an ambition to pursue what he wants by any means necessary.

Yin Chen was a little dazed as he looked at Fuxi, who was being controlled by Mu Chunfeng. He had never imagined that the Heavenly Emperor, the most noble figure in the Heavenly Realm, would have the exact same face as him.

In the sky, Fuxi's calm and restrained voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out: "Your Majesty, Dragon God, it has been many years since we last met, yet your splendor remains unchanged."

"Dragon, God, Your Majesty." Long Xun repeated these four words almost imperceptibly, then gave a cold laugh. The danger contained in his deep, slightly chilly voice made the air in the entire celestial realm freeze.

His soft murmur to himself was so faint it was almost inaudible: "No one in this world will ever call me... Your Majesty the Dragon God."

The Vermilion Bird, engulfed in raging crimson flames, stared intently at Fuxi with fierce eyes and roared, "Fuxi! How dare you deceive me!"

Fuxi coldly stared at the Vermilion Bird, who was in a state of frenzy, and then glanced at the Azure Dragon's corpse at his feet, which was gradually regaining its vitality as Long Xun's power was poured into it. He calmly said, "Is the method I used to revive the Azure Dragon ineffective? If we hadn't started with this mermaid, do you think Zhulong would have bothered with a mere Vermilion Bird like you?"

Mu Chunfeng laughed loudly: "Stop making excuses! The dignified Heavenly Emperor is actually a despicable coward who is full of lies and afraid of death. If the gods and immortals of the heavens knew that you would rather fight to the death to protect you, they would probably jump out of the endless chaos in shame!"

Fuxi remained unperturbed and said calmly, "The Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Sages, is nothing more than a madman now. The Azure Dragon is of noble character and knows what you have done. Do you think he won't be so angry that he will sever ties with you and consider you a disgrace?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

The angry roar was mixed with sharp cries. The cries of birds and mythical beasts were already easy to stir the soul, and now, under Mu Chunfeng's rage, the cries were even more ear-piercing. Even with Long Xun protecting him, Yin Chen felt a wave of nausea and irritation, and the demonic markings of the merman on his cheeks were uncontrollably showing through.

Fuxi groaned, his face paling even more, devoid of any color. Yet his expression remained calm, his unwavering gaze fixed on the Vermilion Bird frantically flapping its wings, completely unconcerned about the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Fire scattering around it: "It's gone mad because I predicted it?"

"Fuxi! Don't think that just because you've merged with the origin of the heavens, I won't dare to touch you!"

Fuxi merely glanced at him indifferently before turning his gaze to Yin Chen on the ground. This dismissive attitude fueled Mu Chunfeng's resentment, but he ultimately hesitated to do anything to Qinglong Ye Tan, who was still undergoing resurrection.

Long Xun controlled the flow of his power, stared at the Azure Dragon for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Who killed him?"

"By whom?" Mu Chunfeng calmed down a bit and chuckled, "Back when we mended the sky, the pillars supporting it were made by the four legs of the Northern Black Tortoise, one of our four sacred beasts... Fuxi fought fiercely against the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise with just his sword, quite a sight. In the end, the Black Tortoise died with resentment, its four legs turning into pillars of heaven. A'tan's dragon horn broke off and was taken by Nuwa to refine the Heaven-Mending Stone with the White Tiger's heart. A'tan returned severely injured... and died from his wounds."

It's because of mending the sky again...

Long Xun closed his eyes slightly. The trouble that Shu Naicha had caused back then had endless consequences. The Heavenly Realm hung high above, and he had no interest in the affairs of the Heavenly Realm, so he knew nothing about these things.

In the Great World of Tianyan, Mu Chunfeng and Ye Tan's original bodies were both scattered and their souls were destroyed. Mu Feng guarded the Phoenix God Palace for countless years, collecting the remnants of their souls to repair them. Those fragmented souls were scattered into countless worlds to reincarnate... How similar this scene is to what we are seeing now.

I really don't know what caused their deaths, nor do I know if Mu Chunfeng, this madman, was also nearly insane after A Tan's death, just like he is now.

Among Feng Shenmu's creations, only the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird possess his bloodline. In the past, the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird each obtained one character from his name to become their own surnames. The Phoenix's surname was Feng and his given name was Huang, while the Vermilion Bird's surname was Mu and his given name was Zhuque. The two also named their respective clans after their own names, one as Phoenix and the other as Vermilion Bird.

Phoenix and Vermilion Bird were originally brothers. When they were raised by Mu Feng's side, they couldn't wait to stick together all the time. The two little birds would set fires all over the Phoenix God Palace all year round, which gave Mu Feng a terrible headache.

However, later...

As Mu Zhuque grew up, other Zhuques in the clan who did not have Mu Feng's direct bloodline admired his charm and wished to marry him.

At that time, the Phoenix was still at the edge of the starry sky assisting the gods in exploring the universe, spreading the methods of cultivation, and helping living beings survive. When he returned from his busy work, he was greeted by Mu Zhuque, who told him with a joyful expression that his wife was pregnant.

Phoenix had fallen in love with Mu Zhuque over time. Upon learning of this, he was deeply shocked and, in his rage and grief, committed an irreversible mistake.

Mu Feng doted on his two juniors, and when he arrived after hearing Mu Zhuque's involuntary cries for help, he was met with a horrific scene.

After that, Mu Zhuque deeply hated Fenghuang, and the Zhuque and Fenghuang clans, who were once as close as family, became like strangers. However, both Mu Zhuque and Fenghuang possessed the bloodline of the ancestral gods and were born with the dual energies of Yin and Yang. After Fenghuang forced herself on him, she actually made him pregnant.
