That Distant Phoenix Cry from Beyond the Stars
The scene unfolding on Sea God Island was also happening elsewhere.
Slaughter City.
On the usually chaotic streets, all sorts of fallen individuals were engaged in deceit and betrayal, indulging in endless acts of merciless slaughter, rape, and humiliation...
Suddenly, a group of tall knights clad in silver armor, riding warhorses, swept through the entire street like lightning. All fallen ones in their path were ruthlessly whipped.
These whips were specially made, soaked in a unique concoction. Each strike tore open flesh, like fireworks exploding, the sound as loud as firecrackers.
Heart-wrenching screams echoed incessantly.
The screams only brought more merciless lashes.
Until the chaotic sounds ceased, and the environment became quiet.
"By the decree of the Slaughter King, seek out a divine child capable of wielding darkness and destruction. Whoever finds and brings them before the King shall be the most honored person besides the King."
"Second only to the King, above all others!"
The captain of the knights' cold voice transmitted through his helmet.
Then, he spurred his horse and led his team away, heading to the next street to announce the Slaughter King's order.
After he left, the once quiet street suddenly erupted in a cacophony of noise. Countless fallen ones, their eyes bloodshot, cast venomous glances at those around them.
"A divine child who can wield darkness and destruction, could it be you?!"
"I think you're more like it!"
The crowd inexplicably began to slaughter each other.
Blood stimulated their nerves, and the desire for carnage filled everyone's hearts.
...
Angel Temple.
The High Priest Qian Daoliu was devoutly praying:
"Merciful and forgiving Angel God, your divine light shines upon the world, the glory of the angel is eternally bright; guide the people to seek a haven of light and warmth, nourish all things with gentle light, and cleanse sins with holy flames..."
Suddenly, a soft ray of light enveloped Qian Daoliu.
A divine thought echoed in his mind.
Qian Daoliu abruptly opened his eyes, overjoyed.
To the point where he couldn't suppress his own powerful aura, causing the other priests in the hall to show surprised expressions, wondering what had happened.
When they came back to their senses and saw the faintly glowing Angel Statue, they exclaimed, "The Angel Statue is showing its power!"
"High Priest, has the Angel God passed down any divine decree?"
Qian Daoliu frowned, astonished, "The divine decree says to pay attention to a divine child who can wield darkness and destruction? Although the divine position has already been bestowed upon Xue'er, I am told to befriend this person..."
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then took out paper and pen, writing a secret letter to Qian Renxue.
"Perhaps, this person will also be of great help to Xue'er."
...
Pope's Palace.
Bibidong, wearing a nightgown, was waking up from her afternoon nap, sitting on a brocade couch, lazily stretching. Her graceful figure bloomed where no one could appreciate it, and her beautiful face was not as solemn as usual.
She was about to get up, but the Rakshasa God's inheritance in her mind suddenly transmitted a divine thought.
"A divine child who can wield darkness and destruction? What a mess."
"Tell Chrysanthemum Elder to issue an order to pay attention to it."
...
God Realm.
At this moment, two terrifying divine thoughts were remotely intertwined.
Bickering incessantly.
"Evil, this is a prodigy I saw first, he should be my successor!"
"You say you saw him first? How laughable, I clearly noticed him first, it's just that I couldn't pinpoint his location!"
"Evil, must you fight with me? That prodigy can perfectly control the attribute of destruction, he is the perfect choice to inherit my divine seat!"
"Destruction, you're the one fighting with me! I've never seen a prodigy with such pure darkness attribute, yet is not corrupted by darkness, he should inherit my Evil God position!"
Two divine thoughts engaged in a fierce confrontation.
The commotion in the God Realm aroused the curiosity of all the gods.
But none dared to step forward to pry.
Simply because the two divine thoughts arguing like fishwives were from the Evil God King and the Destruction God King, the two strongest beings in the God Realm.
Suddenly, a divine thought joined the exchange.
"Stop arguing, neither of you will likely have the chance to find that person as a successor. After that phoenix cry just now, the aura of Douluo Star has been disrupted."
"Even you won't be able to sense that person's location."
The Evil God King and the Destruction God King coldly snorted, "Asura, are you trying to compete with us too?"
"If we remember correctly, the place where your divine seat is inherited happens to be on Douluo Star, but haven't you already found a successor?"
The Asura God's expression remained unchanged:
"I naturally have no interest. Besides, those who have inheritance grounds on Douluo Star, apart from me, include the Sea God, the Angel God, the Rakshasa God..."
"They are probably very interested and are already investigating in secret."
He readily betrayed the other gods.
Evil and Destruction were both furious, and said in unison, "They dare?!"
"Such a prodigy, not inheriting my divine seat, is a true waste of natural gifts!"
The Asura God poured cold water on them, "In the God Realm, the God Kings are naturally the greatest, but that is their lower realm that they have managed for a long time. Even the God Kings cannot arbitrarily disrupt the rules of the God Realm, let alone snatch the successors of other gods."
"Do you think they dare?"
"However, fortunately, after that phoenix cry, not only you, but even those gods who have inheritance grounds on Douluo Star have lost their sense of that prodigy."
"For the time being, no one can find him."
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
After a long silence, the Evil God King said, "That phoenix fought with the Dragon God in the past, and didn't it leave after being defeated? Why is it still paying attention to things here? Besides, how did it sense the birth of that prodigy?"
Evil could sense it because of the birth of pure darkness; Destruction could sense it because of the birth of pure destruction.
Some cunning gods in the God Realm could sense it because the Evil and Destruction made too much noise when exploring Douluo Star, so the news leaked out.
However.
That phoenix, the Phoenix God who had disappeared without a trace after losing to the Dragon God in the battle for the God Realm, what did it rely on to sense it? Could it be that Douluo Star has its inheritance?
That shouldn't be the case?! No one could answer the Evil God King's confusion, because this was also a common confusion in their hearts.
The Destruction God King said dejectedly, "Who knows? Originally, we couldn't detect that prodigy because he had entered some secret realm or something, and his aura was shielded. We could detect him as soon as he came out."
"Now that the phoenix has stirred things up, the aura is all messed up, and we won't be able to detect him even if that prodigy comes out."
After thinking, the Asura God hesitated:
"Could it be that although the phoenix fought with the Dragon God, they are, after all, existences of the same level, cherishing each other, and couldn't stand us splitting the Dragon God, so it deliberately caused trouble?"
No one could answer.
Who knows what that phoenix is thinking? What good would it do it!
