My name is Feng Ling, the young emperor of the ancient Phoenix Clan.
I was born with the strength of a Celestial King, and countless people envied me, saying I was incredibly lucky to have been born into such a family. At first, I thought so too, and I was even a little smug, wondering how I could be so fortunate. My parents were both Celestial Emperors, and not only Celestial Emperors, but also primordial gods.
Until one day I discovered that my great-grandmother had given birth to an Immortal Emperor, I finally understood the feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred that others had.
The ancestral master I'm talking about is named Feng Qing'er. She was raised by my great-grandmaster. Then, she fell for my great-grandmaster's master, who is also my ancestral master grandfather, and that's how she became my ancestral master grandmother.
My ancestor was the master of the Sword God Palace. When I first met him, I was quite surprised. How could he be so young? Not only young, but also incredibly handsome, though he was so cold, as if he were made of ice. My ancestor's wife, on the other hand, was very beautiful and as lively as a young girl. I couldn't understand why she had fallen for the aloof ancestor.
My ancestral master didn't like my father very much, but he was quite good to me.
Oops, I've gone off-topic. I was just saying I was jealous that my ancestral master was born a Celestial Emperor. Because of this, I specifically went to ask my mother why my ancestral master was born a Celestial Emperor, and why I couldn't be born a Celestial Emperor?
The mother smiled and said, "Qing'er was gestated inside the womb for over two trillion years. Who told you to be born so early?"
"So, if I stayed in your belly for two trillion years, would I be born as an Immortal Emperor?" I asked my mother.
Then my beautiful mother giggled and said, "If you stay in my belly for that long, I can't stand it."
Although I can't be born a Celestial Emperor like my ancestral master, I'd be content to be born a Celestial King. My mother told me that one shouldn't be greedy. She said she was born a mortal, and so was my father; they both cultivated step by step to their current positions. Therefore, I, who have won at the starting line, can't be greedy anymore.
I nodded and quickly forgot about the question.
I'm an avid reader, and I especially enjoy studying history. I've been searching through the vast library of the Phoenix Palace for information about the million-year-old war between immortals and demons. I know that war was ultimately ended by my mother's intervention, but I want to know more about the story, especially about the Demon Lord Xuan Tian. Why do you think I'm interested in him?
I don't know myself.
I was just curious, how could such a terrifying guy be defeated by my mother?
It's a pity there's so little to find in the library. I thought I'd better ask my mother, but she's in seclusion. So I can only ask my lovely grandmaster.
"Demon Lord Xuantian? Why are you asking this?" The Grand Master showed a strange and complicated expression when he heard about Demon Lord Xuantian.
"I'm just curious, Grandmaster. Tell me, have you ever fought against Demon Lord Xuantian?" I asked excitedly.
The grandmaster nodded.
I eagerly poured tea and water for my grandmaster, smiling, "Grandmaster, please tell me quickly, what kind of person is Demon Lord Xuantian?"
“Him…” Grandmaster stared at the tea in his hand and remained silent for a long time until I urged him, then he said, “He’s just a fool.”
"...?" I looked at my grandmaster's beautiful golden eyes in confusion.
My great-grandfather looked up at me and then slowly told me a story that took place more than four trillion years ago. The protagonist of the story was named Lou Munan. My great-grandfather talked for a very long time, and as I listened to the story, my handkerchief was soaked with tears. Lou Munan was really unlucky; his whole family died, and he mistakenly recognized a villain as his father.
If he had just lived his life in a daze, that would have been one thing, but he unexpectedly regained his memories, only to find that the woman he loved had turned against him and married another man.
He finally learned that he had a nephew, but the nephew was gone. After going through countless hardships and spending hundreds of thousands of years to revive him, the Reincarnation Bead ignored him. He failed to revive his nephew and was even killed and sealed away by the woman he loved.
This kid's entire life has been incredibly tragic.
The Grand Master said in a somber tone, "There are even more tragic stories."
Then my master told me that Lou Munan was resurrected after he died, and a clone of him was created, but the clone betrayed him.
I:"……"
This kid is so unlucky, even he betrays himself.
Wait, why do I pity him? Although he was indeed unlucky, it's wrong for him to vent his hatred on countless innocent people.
"Is he really dead now?" I asked my grandmaster.
My master remained silent for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether or not to tell me.
I asked, "Oh dear, Master, please tell me quickly! Is he completely dead? Could he possibly come back to life? Please tell me quickly!"
“He…he has been reincarnated,” the Grand Master said.
I became excited and grabbed my grandmaster's arm, asking, "He...he was reincarnated? What kind of person was he reincarnated as?"
My great-grandfather's expression became very strange. Finally, after I kept pestering him, he finally said, "You were reincarnated as your father."
In that instant, I felt as if I had been bombarded by countless thunderbolts.
Me? My father is the reincarnation of Demon Lord Xuantian? My father is the reincarnation of Demon Lord Xuantian... My father is the reincarnation of Demon Lord Xuantian...
My mind is a mess.
My gentle father is actually a great demon who almost destroyed the world, and not just once. How could this be? But my grandmaster would never joke like this with me.
I suddenly remembered that when my grandmaster was drunk, he would call my father "uncle," so my grandmaster was...
"Grandmaster, you are Lou Munan's nephew?" My lips twitched.
The grandmaster nodded.
"And what about my mother?" I asked.
"In her previous life, she was the empress of the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan, Yan Tang."
I was still shocked, and then I learned that my father was not only the reincarnation of Lou Munan, but also the reincarnation of Luo Bai, my mother's unforgettable lover. Before being reincarnated, Lou Munan devoured Luo Bai. Not only that, he also devoured my mother's other lovers, who were all clones of Lou Munan.
My mother also has a favorite little sweetheart named Xu Fengzhi, who looks exactly like my father.
No, it's that Daddy looks exactly like Xu Fengzhi.
Lou Munan finally had a change of heart and felt he had to give his mother a lover, so he was reincarnated and deliberately used Xu Fengzhi's face.
Wow, my brain is a complete mess, I feel so confused, so confused.
Oh, right, it turns out that Grandmaster Grandpa and Grandmaster Grandma were once Grandmaster's parents.
Oh dear, our family is such a mess.
However, I think this is not bad.
