"In that case, why are you here? And why did you … call out to me? It feels as if you know me. "Xi Ling slowly asked the question in her heart.
"Haha," the ancient voice laughed, "Because I was willing to become an Undead rather than disappear, just to wait for you to come."
"Wait for me?" Xi Ling pointed at herself in surprise.
"That's right, you have the last of my Phoenix royal family's bloodline and power, and you are my final concern … my child, I, am your father."
"…!!" Xi Ling's mouth fell open as she stared dumbly in front of her, her mind completely blank, "Fa … ther?"
The concept of a father was very, very faint in her heart. It was so faint that even when she heard the words "I'm your biological father", she only felt surprised, and not the throbbing of her heart. This was because from birth, she had been alone. She had no parents, no friends, no one to talk to, and no one to rely on. She grew up in this sort of loneliness. Afterwards, when the Demon Beast Clan's calamity broke out, in order to save some innocent animals, she used her immature flames to attack the demon beasts, destroying the wave of demon beasts. Her flames alerted the Demon Emperor and World of Warcraft, and under their attacks, she was trapped in the Demon Beast Web … for a whole 10,000 years.
In the 10,000 years since she was born, she had spent most of her time in loneliness and darkness. The first person to give her warmth and kindness was Ling Chen, who made her swear to follow him forever. In her life, she had never had the concept of a father.
"That's right, I am your father, and your mother is the Golden Crow who disappeared before you were born. Perhaps my union with your mother was a mistake – at least, it caused the entire Phoenix Clan to go into turmoil, and it became the cause of the destruction of the Phoenix Clan. However, I have never regretted it. 10,000 years ago, in order to save the Forgotten Continent, your mother used all of her power to destroy the Demon Beast Clan, heavily injuring the powerful Demon Emperor, causing the Demon Emperor to die after being tortured by the Nine Suns Origin Flames in his body for 5 years. However, at the same time, he was injured by the Demon Emperor and the Demon Beast World of Warcraft, and he died before you were born. However, your mother did not feel any regret towards her death, because there can only be one Golden Crow in this world. If he didn't die, you would never have been born.
"As for me, long before your mother died, I had already died. It's just that the Phoenix Royal Clan's special Soul Nirvana allowed my soul to remain for a long time after my body died, allowing me to watch over all of you. The second month after your mother died, I saw you being born. 3 years later, I saw you accidentally enter the territory of the Demon Beast Clan. At that time, the Demon Beast Clan had already been forced into a desperate situation, and the Demon Emperor was on his last breath. The flames on your body caused the Demon Emperor and the Demon Beast World of Warcraft to fear you, and they did everything they could to destroy you. At that time, I had no choice but to use my Soul Origin Force to secretly protect you, so that you wouldn't be harmed by them. However, in the end, you were still sealed by their special Darkness power … I tried for many years, but I was unable to undo it … and at that time, the time that my soul could exist after Nirvana had come to an end. "
"10,000 years ago, the strange power that prevented me from being harmed by the Darkness power … came from you?" Xi Ling stared in front of her. She had finally found the answer to her question from 10,000 years ago.
The Undead Phoenix smiled warmly and continued, "But at that time, I couldn't save you. However, I didn't believe that the bloodline of the Golden Crow and Phoenix Royals would be severed from this world. The Phoenix Clan had never done anything evil, and the power of the Golden Crow Clan existed to destroy the world. Fate would never be so ruthless to our two clans. So, I believed that one day, you would escape, or be rescued by someone … In the end, I transferred the last of my soul, my dead body, and all of my Origin Force to the Underworld that I discovered not long ago, hoping for a miracle to happen. The result didn't disappoint me. The dense aura of death turned my dead body into an Undead, and at the same time, awakened the power that originally existed in my body. A hundred years later, my dead soul and consciousness were finally awakened, allowing me to remember all of my past memories. And the reason why I was willing to turn into an Undead rather than completely die was because the power of my Phoenix Royal Family had awakened. I had to reach the age of 3,000 years, with the power of the previous Phoenix God as a guide. Otherwise, I could only possess ordinary Phoenix flames, not Phoenix God Heavenly Flames. "
"So, I waited in this place where you were least likely to appear, year after year. And after turning into an Undead, my ability to control fire had been declining, and the Origin Fire in my body was gradually no longer under my control. More and more of it overflowed, creating a larger and larger sea of flames, which also brought a great disaster to the Undead Clan. But fortunately, all of this was not in vain. I finally waited for your arrival … my child. "
"What Phoenix Royal Family, what soul and memories awakening … I don't understand a lot of what you're saying." Xi Ling shook her head lightly, her mind a mess.
The old voice was silent for a while, then said softly, "You don't need to understand these things immediately. Remember, my child, what you need the most is to live well. In your body flows the last Phoenix Royal Blood and the Golden Crow Blood. You bear the last and only hope of our two clans. Don't think about using your own power to save the world, and don't pay attention to those disasters that bring disaster to the common people. I only hope that you can live well … This is also the only thing I want you to remember out of everything I've said. "
"Now, close your eyes and accept the most important Awakening Ceremony in the life of our Phoenix Royal Family. To be able to wait for this day, ten thousand years of waiting and suffering is completely worth it. I no longer have any regrets. It's just that I've caused an irreparable disaster to the Netherworld, and I no longer have the chance to atone for my sins … "
The old voice slowly dissipated, and within the sea of fire, an extremely loud and clear phoenix cry rang out. Following that, boundless flames descended from the sky and landed on Xi Ling's body, completely enveloping her body …
… …
At this moment, there was also a ball of fire burning on Ling Chen's body, and it had been burning for a very long time. The temperature of the flames went from scorching hot, to boiling hot, and then to warm. In the end, it brought a completely comfortable feeling, causing Ling Chen's expression to go from sinister to twisted, then to peaceful. In the end, he even closed his eyes, feeling so comfortable that he almost moaned out loud.
"Ding … you have successfully received the baptism of the 'Phoenix God Heavenly Flames', and obtained the special ability [Wall of the Fire God]."
A system announcement sounded in his ears, and at the same time, the feeling of his body being enveloped by the flames quickly disappeared. Ling Chen opened his eyes, and saw that the boundless sea of fire around him was quickly extinguishing. The flames that had originally enveloped his body had mostly dissipated, leaving only a faint layer of fire around his body.
"Wall of the Fire God? This name … "
Even now, Ling Chen had no idea what had happened after he had been swept into the sea of fire, nor did he know what the flames that had enveloped him and rendered him unable to move were. So, the sudden system announcement caused him to be stunned. The words' Wall of the Fire God 'in the system announcement caused his heart to jump, and he hurriedly looked at the description of this special ability:
[Wall of the Fire God]: An ultimate blessing bestowed by the Phoenix Royal Family with the source of their soul. It can only be bestowed once in a lifetime, and when bestowed, it will cause great damage to the user's soul source. With this blessing, one will receive the protection of the Phoenix Royal Bloodline. Effect: Absorbs any form of fire attribute attacks, and can convert the absorbed fire damage into the same amount of HP or MP. It can also be stored in the body, and released at any time to create a fire attack of equal power.
Ling Chen's mouth was wide open, and he was instantly stunned.
Hearing the name [Wall of the Fire God], Ling Chen had a premonition, but after looking at the description of this ability, he was still greatly shocked. This was actually a heaven-defying ability that had the same effect and strength as the [Wall of the Thunder God] bestowed by the White Tiger! With the existence of the [Wall of the Fire God], not only would all fire damage not cause him any damage, it would instead bring him a positive effect. In other words, after the water absorption ability bestowed by the Aquarius Orb, and the lightning absorption ability bestowed by the White Tiger, he now had the ability to absorb fire! Moreover, this absorption ability could be stored for a long time, and could be released at any time, turning into a fire attack of equal power!
Ling Chen stared at the quickly extinguishing flames in a daze. He simply couldn't understand why such a massive golden pie had fallen from the sky for no reason! Back then, when he had obtained the White Tiger's [Wall of the Thunder God], Qi Yue had called it 'an opportunity that even the heavens would be envious of'. This was because the [Wall of the Thunder God] was an ultimate blessing that might not appear even once in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years! After the White Tiger's death, it became the last blessing that would appear in the world. And now, he had obtained an ultimate blessing that was of the same grade, and for no reason at all. Back then, he had helped the White Tiger greatly, so he deserved the White Tiger's ultimate blessing. However, he had not even given up a single hair, and he had received such a great benefit. He felt like he was dreaming!
Goddamnit! Could it really be a dream … Ling Chen couldn't help but twitch his face, and when he looked up, his expression became one of shock. As the flames were extinguished and the tongues of flame fell, a ball of golden light appeared in his line of sight.
"Xi … Ling?" Ling Chen called out in a low voice as he looked at the golden light, his voice filled with uncertainty.
Xi Ling was standing less than 10 steps away from him, her eyes closed, her snow-white face calm and peaceful. However, she was at least half a head taller than before, and her hair had grown longer, reaching her perky bottom. Her face was still incredibly beautiful, but it had lost some of its childishness, and had become more mature and peaceful … before, Xi Ling had looked like a 12 or 13 year old girl, but now, she looked like a 16 or 17 year old girl!
However, it was still Xi Ling's face, causing Ling Chen to call out her name.
The fiery red clothes on her body had also disappeared. In its place was a set of golden clothes that were exactly the same in style, but it reflected a dazzling brilliance! The flames that were burning on her body were also incredibly luxurious golden flames.
