At the Origin of Creation, the Phoenix Goddess continuously formed hand seals. One by one, the seals disappeared into the great cauldron before her.
The great cauldron began to spew forth boundless divine light, divine radiance spreading everywhere. In an instant, the cauldron seemed to become the sole existence of heaven and earth.
"Xiao Hong, I tell you, this won't do — it's been so long and you still haven't succeeded," teased the Goddess of Life from behind the Phoenix Goddess.
"Get lost! If I'd known, I wouldn't have revived you so quickly. All you ever do is criticize me," the Phoenix Goddess snapped back without the slightest hint of frustration, her flawless and radiant beauty undiminished. Her eyes were pure, her fiery red hair glittering like crystals, her posture peerless.
"I'm just reminding you — try changing things up a bit. Even when cooking, don't just make rabbit every time," the Goddess of Life kindly advised. With the Phoenix Goddess' help, she had already reformed her body and deepened her understanding of life itself.
Now, she was far stronger than when she was in the Douluo Divine Realm.
"I want him to see my perseverance," the Phoenix Goddess smiled lightly, her stunning face radiating confidence. "Once I've decided on something, I never change my mind easily. I refuse to believe that my determination, the same as when I pursued the rank above God King, won't win me the handsome man I desire."
Though a woman, the Phoenix Goddess had great resolve. Once, to chase the rank above God King, she risked total annihilation by letting the Dragon God kill her.
Such determination and courage were unmatched by any God King in the Douluo Divine Realm back then.
"I told you, you won't listen, so suit yourself," the Goddess of Life shook her head helplessly.
Seeing that expression, the Phoenix Goddess immediately got angry and coldly said, "Weren't you the one who told me to find Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai? I humbled myself and asked them what Xia Yi liked to eat — Xia Yi likes rabbit. Leng Yulai said it herself."
"Oh, really?" The Goddess of Life was stunned. She had been sealed by Yali for so long but had some understanding of Xia Yi.
She hadn't seen Xia Yi like rabbits that much.
"Do you think I would lie to you?" The Phoenix Goddess was displeased that the Goddess of Life doubted her. "Leng Yulai's expression was not deceitful. She was absolutely certain, telling me Xia Yi likes big, white jade rabbits and likes eating them in pairs. And no matter how much he eats, he never gets tired of it."
The Goddess of Life stood there stunned. After a long pause, she said softly, "Leng Yulai didn't lie to you. Keep making your big rabbit feast. I'm going to find Xiao Zi."
"Get lost, stop showing off your love in front of me!" The Phoenix Goddess ground her teeth. The Goddess of Life was definitely provoking her on purpose.
"Hehe, if you have the guts, show some love too," the Goddess of Life said with a proud laugh full of life energy, then vanished in a green light halo.
As the last light disappeared, a mental fluctuation suddenly entered the Phoenix Goddess's mind.
Receiving the mental wave, the Phoenix Goddess raised her delicate brows and instinctively looked down.
A grand bulge, her toes invisible.
Not smaller at all compared to Guyue's.
Just then, a figure appeared before the Phoenix Goddess, kneeling on one knee, "My Lord!"
"I said you don't have to kneel. You're now the Space God King of the Royal Court Origin?" The Phoenix Goddess dismissed her chaotic thoughts and turned to the Space God.
The Space God was once the only non-human deity aside from the Five Great God Kings in the Douluo Divine Realm.
His true form was the Void Worm.
The Void Worm was a primordial spirit of the universe with extremely high talent. With dedicated cultivation, he had long been suppressed by the Douluo Divine Realm's central authority because he was a non-human deity, unable to break through, stuck at first-level God.
After Leng Yaozhu took over the Great God Circle, the suppression was lifted, and he had now achieved the rank of God King.
"My Lord, before coming to find you, I spoke with Lord Tian Feng Mian, who sent me here to the Origin of Creation," the Space God looked up at the Phoenix Goddess, reminiscing about the days she led them in the Douluo Divine Realm. "My Lord, during this time, I found some former comrades, but they have already reincarnated. I…"
"Stop," the Phoenix Goddess interrupted without hesitation, knowing what the Space God was going to say. She patiently explained, "As for the divine beasts that followed me, I've arranged for those still alive to come to the Origin of Creation. But those who have reincarnated, we shouldn't forcibly awaken their past memories."
The Phoenix Goddess shook her head. "Some have already reincarnated tens of thousands of times. They have their current lives, families, children. We cannot selfishly force them to become my divine beasts again. Let's not talk about this matter anymore."
"But…" The Space God still did not quite understand.
"No buts," the Phoenix Goddess cut him off again. "I will arrange opportunities to help them become gods again, but awakening memories from past lives is off limits. Since they've reincarnated, they should enjoy their new lives."
"Yes, my Lord!" Seeing the Phoenix Goddess so resolute, the Space God had nothing more to say.
"Go then. Handle whatever you need to," the Phoenix Goddess waved her hand.
"Understood. I take my leave," the Space God nodded.
"Has something happened again?" The Phoenix Goddess glanced at the central building of the Origin of Creation — the Creation Hall, the power center.
Although she didn't manage daily affairs, with her strength above God King, many things couldn't be hidden from her.
"Why worry so much? If the sky falls, there are men to hold it up. I'll go back to roasting rabbit," the Phoenix Goddess soon laughed again. With Xia Yi and Guyue standing strong, what was there to worry about?
In the Creation Hall, Xia Yi rubbed his brow, listening helplessly to Di Tian's report.
"My Lord, we and the Great God Circle received a cosmic message from a God Realm. They want to join us."
Before, Xia Yi had been a hands-off manager, with Guyue and the Demon Emperor always leading upfront.
But now, the Phoenix Goddess had pushed Guyue and the Demon Emperor out.
The Origin of Creation was controlled only by Xia Yi and the Phoenix Goddess.
Since the Phoenix Goddess had recently taken to giving Xia Yi rabbit meals, she too became a hands-off manager.
Though Xia Yi pulled Guyue back as muscle and handed her many tasks, some matters required the central God Realm authority that only Xia Yi and the Phoenix Goddess could handle.
"Juer from the Royal Court Origin has sent me a message. She plans to send Fallen Angels to investigate the other party. You and the Fallen Angels will go together. I will grant you partial central God Realm authority over the Origin of Creation. If you think it's acceptable, you can open an ascension channel for the other party to ascend to the Origin of Creation. If danger arises, you can teleport back immediately," Xia Yi raised his hand and a beam of light entered Di Tian's body.
The Royal Court Origin was essentially the Great God Circle.
After the battle at the Great God Circle, it officially became the human God Star, echoing the Soul Beast God Star — the Origin of Creation.
But Leng Yaozhu disliked the name Great God Circle and renamed it Royal Court Origin after the classic "Huangdi Neijing" she studied.
This name corresponded with the Origin of Creation.
With the Origins of Creation and Royal Court stable, the two God Stars' auras slowly spread toward the depths of the universe.
The aura of a God Star could be sensed by any God King at the farthest edges of the universe.
These God Stars represented the faint light seen after countless years of groping in darkness by God Kings stuck at their peak.
They were the only chance for breaking through the rank above God King.
The temptation beyond God King was something no peak God King could refuse.
All hoped to join the Origins of Creation and Royal Court Origin.
