"Mom, where is this?" Subao asked.
Xue Huan: "This is my mother's hometown, where she was born."
Su Bao seemed to understand, but when he saw a bug crawling out of the cracked ground, his attention was immediately drawn to it. He let go of Xue Huan's hand, ran over, and squatted down to look at the bug.
Xue Huan also walked over and squatted beside her. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the gap. Xue Huan immediately hugged Su Bao and ran away.
The black shadow hovered in front of the two of them, with a layer of red flames at the edge.
That shadow is a remnant soul.
Immediately afterwards, more black shadows emerged and gathered from all directions, forming a huge black phantom phoenix. The edges of the phoenix were filled with red flames, and it howled miserably in the air. The howling made people's scalps numb and their sea of consciousness shook.
Xue Huan frowned uncomfortably, quickly covered Su Bao's ears, and built a protective shield around her.
In that huge black shadow phoenix, there were countless residual souls entangled with each other. Those were the unwilling resentments left behind by the people of the Phoenix clan after their death.
The phoenix roared and circled, stirring up a storm wherever it passed.
Seeing the phoenix rushing towards her and Su Bao, Xue Huan flashed into the space, but what she didn't expect was that the phoenix shadow also followed her into the space and rushed into her body!
Xue Huan groaned and fell to her knees.
It wasn't that she was injured, but the residual souls in the phoenix shadow sent her too many thoughts in an instant.
Her mind was suddenly overwhelmed by too much information and it was difficult to load it all.
It took her a long time to digest and sort out the information.
"Mom!" Subao rushed over, his clear and pure big eyes filled with worry.
Xue Huan held her in her arms, kissed her forehead, and said with a soothing smile, "Mom, it's okay."
"Then why did mother faint just now?"
"Mother didn't faint just now, she was listening to the tribesmen telling me stories."
"Tell a story? What story? Subao wants to hear it!"
"Okay, let me tell you. A long, long time ago, so long ago that this universe had just been born, a goddess from another universe accidentally passed by this universe and discovered it. She wanted to protect it and let it grow, so she stayed..."
The goddess who stayed behind led the universe to prosperity and established a free and orderly civilization. However, as time passed, this civilization became increasingly out of the goddess's control, and eventually even backfired on her.
The goddess's ruling status was overthrown by the gods born in this universe. The local gods were not satisfied with the universe being controlled by an alien god, so they united to defeat her.
The goddess, who had entered her weakened state, was no match for the native gods who were in their prime. After being defeated, she fled and hid.
She hid in the territory of the Phoenix Clan, which was created from her own blood, and handed over the Star Disk of the Heavens, a divine artifact that could rule the entire universe, to the Phoenix Clan for safekeeping. Then, she entered the cycle of reincarnation.
After the reincarnation ends, her divine power will be recharged and she will be able to take back her own rule.
However, the reincarnation period is very long. During this period, the goddess does not have much ability to protect herself and needs to be closely protected by the outside world.
She chose the Phoenix Clan to do this.
The Phoenix clan is a creature she created with her own divine blood, and they are absolutely loyal to her.
The Star Plate of the Heavens is equivalent to the imperial seal in the hands of earthly emperors. Without the seal, even if one ascends the throne, it is not legitimate. Therefore, generation after generation of God Emperors - the supreme rulers who replace the goddess and take charge of the heavens and all worlds, have been searching for the whereabouts of the goddess throughout the universe, wanting to seize the Star Plate of the Heavens.
But it was never found.
Because the Phoenix Clan protected the goddess very closely and did not leak any information.
Without the Star Plate of the Heavens, the Divine Emperor would be just a vassal king who had seized the throne and could not completely control the heavens. The other "vassal kings" all declared themselves kings and wanted to ascend the "throne" themselves.
As a result, the entire universe entered a period of chaos, with various vassal kings fighting each other for territory.
Until the current God-Emperor came out of nowhere and led a group of brave and warlike subordinates to gradually take over the territory, ending the chaos in the universe and re-establishing great unification.
The current Emperor of Gods imitated a star map of the heavens, but the effect was far inferior to the one created by the goddess.
The reason why the astrolabe can control all the worlds in the entire universe is that when the goddess created it, she visited the world consciousnesses that had already given birth to intelligence and produced rules one by one, and gained their loyalty and devotion.
These world consciousnesses contributed their world hearts, and the goddess fused these world hearts together to create the Constellation Disc of the Heavens. Through the Constellation Disc of the Heavens, the goddess can command the heavens.
With the Astrolabe in hand, the goddess could see everything that happened in the heavens and across the worlds. If any world consciousness rebelled, she would directly summon its world heart and destroy it, and that world would cease to exist.
Each world has only one World Heart, and once it is given away, it will be gone, unless the consciousness of that world is annihilated and a new world consciousness is born.
The star map imitated by the current Emperor of God contains less than one-third of the hearts of the world collected by the goddess.
So he has been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the goddess, as well as the divine artifact that originally ruled the heavens - the Star Disk of the Heavens.
After searching for a long time without any news, a chance encounter allowed him to make progress in his search.
The Phoenix Clan held an election for the leader, and the election took place between a pair of the most outstanding twin sisters in the Phoenix Clan.
In the end, the elder sister was more successful and was more loved by the tribe members, becoming the new leader of the Phoenix Clan. The younger sister was not selected because her ideas were contrary to those of the majority of the tribe members.
My younger sister has great ambitions. She wants to use the artifact entrusted to the Phoenix Clan by the goddess - the Star Disk - to lead the Phoenix Clan to overthrow the rule of the current Emperor of God and make the Phoenix Clan the masters of the universe instead of living in Phoenix Terrace.
As the direct descendants of the goddess, the Phoenix clan is powerful and could obviously obtain a higher status and enjoy better treatment, instead of staying on the Phoenix Terrace to guard the goddess for tens of millions of years without making any achievements.
My sister’s philosophy is that it is best to keep quiet and low-key and wait for the goddess to return.
Most of the tribesmen think so too.
After the younger sister lost the election, she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to steal the Star Plate of the Heavens. However, she was discovered by her elder sister, who seriously injured her younger sister and took back the Star Plate of the Heavens. She originally wanted to kill her younger sister to prevent future troubles, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it and let her sister go, telling her never to come back.
My sister left and went to the divine realm, wanting to take another path to the throne of the Divine Emperor.
——That is to become the concubine of the God-Emperor, give birth to children, and then kill the God-Emperor to seize power.
My sister is very ambitious, but she also has strong execution ability, and she almost succeeded.
But she was finally discovered by the God Emperor, and through her, the God Emperor discovered the secret guarded by the Phoenix clan.
