After Phoenix descended, Leng Yue was completely stunned by Phoenix's features, because they were five-tenths similar to Ling's.
"What's your relationship with Zero?" Leng Yue asked Phoenix.
"Who is Zero?" Phoenix also looked at Leng Yue, clearly not having heard of the name.
“He really looks like Zero.” Leng Yue held Qian Chen’s hand, and Qian Chen stroked Leng Yue. “Don’t worry, it’s probably just a coincidence. Don’t worry.” Qian Chen knew that the most important people in Leng Yue’s heart were him and Zero. Others might be important too, but they were different.
“I…” Leng Yue took a deep breath, “We have to go, I have to go find Zero.” Leng Yue suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have followed the Anywhere Door around, maybe she would have found Zero by now.
"Don't rush, don't rush. Since the Anywhere Door brought us here, it must have its purpose." Qian Chen actually trusted the Anywhere Door more, mainly because the Anywhere Door always made new discoveries and gained new benefits in the places it chose, and in the end, they would become stronger and stronger.
"But...why is this? Why do they look so alike?" Leng Yue pointed at the phoenix, still finding it hard to accept. "Does this mean that Zero can't come back? What does this mean?"
Like Qianchen, Lengyue knew the nature of the Anywhere Door. Each time, they'd either introduce them to one or two acquaintances, collect something, or raise a child. This time, Lengyue thought they'd raise a child, but unexpectedly, it turned into meeting acquaintances. But acquaintances aside, why was it related to Zero? This bothered Lengyue, making her think even more deeply.
"Mom, don't go, the birds are back." Phoenix looked at Leng Yue, then pointed to the birds flying in the sky.
The birds brought news that Quanxi was no longer in the world. Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen and said, "We really can't wait any longer. Let's go."
Qianchen sighed and turned to look at Phoenix, "Are we just going to abandon this child?"
“This child is not young anymore, and besides, Butterfly Dance is here too. I believe they will get along well.” After Leng Yue finished speaking, she strode away, leaving Phoenix standing there watching their departing figures.
Butterfly Dance, who had been sleeping inside the flower bud, finally awoke, opened the bud, and jumped out, transforming into the form of a young girl. She walked up to the phoenix, circling him for a long time, and said, "You hatched? I thought you wouldn't give birth!"
“My mother’s hand saved me.” Phoenix looked at Leng Yue’s back and couldn’t help but bite his lip. He didn’t understand why Leng Yue had to leave.
"Oh, you mean that couple? They're actually quite nice; they even helped you." Butterfly Dance spoke like an adult. "You can't bear to part with them?"
"Why can't they stay here?" Phoenix asked rhetorically.
“The outside world is probably more exciting.” Butterfly Dance also looked puzzled. “I think I’ve seen the outside world, but I can’t quite remember what it is.”
"Do you want to leave here?" Phoenix asked Butterfly Dance.
Butterfly Dance shook her head, "I must wait for my master's instructions; I cannot leave without permission."
"Oh, then I'm going out. I want to see the outside world." Phoenix could no longer see Leng Yue and the others, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Die Wu and ran towards the place where Leng Yue had left.
Meanwhile, Leng Yue had already opened the portal, traversed time and space, and arrived at the small world they had been searching for.
"Master? Why are you here?" Quanxi's voice rang out. "Has something happened outside again?"
"Quanxi? Why are you back all of a sudden?" Leng Yue looked at the small world. "Didn't we just leave the small world?"
"Left the small world? No," Quanxi shook her head. "Besides, I've always been here; I haven't gone anywhere else."
"Where did we just go?" Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen, who shook his head but confidently observed the small world.
This little world has no sycamore trees, no towering mountains. Although it is just as vast as the previous little world, it is still different.
On the phoenix tail flowers by the lake, a huge butterfly was dancing. Leng Yue pointed at the butterfly and asked Quanxi, "Has the butterfly gotten bigger?"
"Not only that, Master! Look, Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly, come here quickly!" Quanxi waved to the butterfly, and the butterfly really flew towards them.
"Master, look! Little Butterfly has grown a human face and hands and feet. I believe she will be able to transform into human form soon." Quanxi was very happy. "I will be able to have friends in the future."
Leng Yue and Qian Chen looked at the butterfly, only to find its features strikingly similar to Die Wu's. Both had round faces and long eyelashes. "What's going on?" Leng Yue couldn't help but take a step back. Where were they now? What was their connection?
"There are no phoenix trees here, no phoenixes here, and no phoenix tail flowers there, no Quanxi." Qianchen looked at the butterflies one last time, "but there are butterflies dancing everywhere."
"This is a parallel universe, not the same small world?" This was truly the only explanation Leng Yue knew.
"I don't know. Maybe it's the same one, but I don't know why it changed, which is why it's like this." Qianchen didn't think it was a parallel world.
"The Anywhere Door doesn't want us to leave? How are we supposed to find Zero?" Leng Yue was no longer interested in any changes or parallel universes; all she wanted to know was how to get out.
"Oh my, my home!" Quanxi suddenly exclaimed.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen looked over at the same time and discovered that the previously calm lake surface had turned into a waterspout, which was slowly rising into the air and growing larger. Quan Xi's seashell bed had transformed into a small boat, drifting on the water.
"What should I do? My house is gone!" Quanxi looked pitifully at Leng Yue. "Master, what should I do?"
"I don't know either!" Leng Yue spread her hands. "Have you seen it?"
Quanxi shook her head, "Never."
Leng Yue was helpless. Quanxi had never even met her, so how could she know? After thinking for a moment, Leng Yue decided to try to calm the tornado, since she had been able to control the lake water before.
"Yueyue," Qianchen called out, but Lengyue didn't turn her head. Then, Lengyue disappeared with the water. Qianchen panicked and looked at Quanxi, "What happened? Where is your master?"
Quanxi was about to cry too, she didn't know either! When Qianchen saw that he couldn't get any information, he jumped into the lake in a panic and actually disappeared as well.
Quanxi, left behind, went completely mad. What was going on? One thing followed; the tornado departed, and another vanished into the lake. How did her home turn into a terrifying monster?
Quanxi was unaware that in another small world not far from this one, the changes were even more drastic. After Phoenix left, she experienced even more. Butterfly Dance followed the master of the divine realm, but her soul was scattered during a mission.
In another place, amidst the changing times, Quanxi watched as the lake returned to calm, too afraid to approach. Finally, Quanxi and Xiaodie hid together in a field of phoenix tail flowers.
As for Leng Yue and Qian Chen, after a bumpy ride, they arrived at the place they had always wanted to go—the Space Headquarters.
Leng Yue was revisiting a familiar place, but Qian Chen was meeting her for the first time.
