Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Phoenix

"Phoenix?"

"The King of Birds, a creature born from the primordial fire of this world, was born with the ability to control all flames, and... The life forms of the Phoenix Clan are extremely special, and they can hardly be 'killed'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

For the hooded man's explanation, Yu Sheng just listened quietly and did not ask any questions.

"This kind of life born of fire, before the physical wound is about to die, will take the initiative to use its most original power, a flame called 'Nirvana Flame' to calcinate the body, completely turn it into ashes, and finally... Reborn in the ashes! ā€

"Then why did my sister become an egg?"

Yu Sheng, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"According to you, Phil should be 'reborn' by now... Why did she turn into an egg that didn't look like the slightest breath of life? ā€

"Because she gave you the opportunity."

Faced with the black-haired boy's questioning, the hooded man shrugged his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth raised an eerie arc.

"There is a limit to the flame of nirvana that each phoenix possesses... For those phoenixes who have grown up, the Nirvana Flame they possess is enough to support them to carry out hundreds of 'rebirths' in the fire, but your sister can't do that, because she is just a young body that has only been born for more than ten years, and most of the talents belonging to the 'Phoenix' have been sealed at birth, and forcibly reduced to a human being. ā€

Hearing this, I probably guessed what the hooded man said next for the rest of his life, and his face became ugly.

"When she chose to blow herself up in the face of the 'war', the part of her body that belonged to the phoenix had reawakened, and then while experiencing the first 'death' in her life, she was also instinctively driven to complete the first 'rebirth'."

"I was watching from the sidelines at that time, so I naturally took her away from the scene, who was still a little unclear about the situation, leaving you with the illusion that your sister had no bones left in the self-explosion."

"And your next performance didn't disappoint me... Driven by hatred, you have managed to break through the powerful barriers that should have held you back like a moat for at least a year or two, and you have enough strength to resist war. ā€

"It's a pity that what you did next was just as stupid!"

At this point, the hooded man's tone changed and became stern.

"At that time, you had already managed to break through, even if you didn't use that suicidal ability, you could have defeated the war, but you..."

"It's just a beating... Without knowing that Fei'er is still alive, what I want is to kill him and completely erase him from this world, in order to accomplish this..."

There was no regret on the face of the rest of his life, and his words were full of firmness.

ā€œā€¦ Do whatever it takes. ā€

"It's your stupid act that has made your sister degenerate into a nirvana egg now."

Looking at the rest of his life, which still didn't seem to have the slightest regret, the hooded man said coldly.

"In order to save you, who have run out of oil and even your soul has begun to dissipate, your sister who has just completed her first rebirth and is not in a very good state forcibly squeezed out all the little source power left in her body and turned it into the flame of Nirvana to calcinate your remnant soul."

ā€œā€¦ā€

Faced with the hooded man's accusations, Yu Sheng finally began to feel a little regretful.

"And once the phoenix exhausts all of its original power, it will degenerate into this 'nirvana egg' in front of you, and fall into a long sleep... This is also the most vulnerable moment for a creature like the phoenix, and any slight blow can completely kill a creature that is almost impossible to 'kill'. ā€

"This is the price your sister paid to save you."

There was a moment of silence... After a long time.

"I'll just take your word for granted, and think this egg is Fei'er..."

Yu Sheng was the first to speak to break the silence, saying as he stared at the hooded man's face hidden under the hood.

"But since you're going to tell me so much all of a sudden, I guess it's just to condemn me for my previous 'willfulness', right?"

"Hehe... As I said before, the purpose of asking you to come and meet 'your sister' this time is to give you some motivation. ā€

The hooded man didn't sell much and directly answered the questions of the rest of his life.

"There is naturally a way for your sister to break out of the shell as soon as possible, and it's not too difficult... Her slumber is due to the exhaustion of the power of her Origin, so if enough of the same energy is supplied to her, she can be reawakened. ā€

"Coincidentally, in this academy exchange conference, among the winners' prizes, there is something suitable for your sister - Phoenix Feather."

…

The Feather of Phoenix, a feather that burns with a special flame all year round, comes from one of the most top-level mad beasts that has ever appeared in the Northern Realm, namely the 'Immortal Bird' Phoenix.

After several cities in its sphere of influence were scorched to the ground, the unbearable Future City finally sent a large-scale armed force to encircle and suppress the legendary Burning Sky Giant Bird, but in the end, it was still run away...

However, this 'hunt' was not without benefits for the future city, and after paying heavy casualties, the encirclers brought back a few feathers containing special powers in special containers, which burned with red flames all year round.

After research, the tech nerds in the future city have discovered that this kind of flame can strengthen the physical strength of most life... Of course, the first thing to do is to be able to withstand the flames.

The above is the official prize description given by Future City, but the hooded man gives another explanation.

"That 'immortal bird' is actually just a lost phoenix... Got lost in the Eastern Realm to the Western Realm, got the name Phoenix, and then listened to the words of a pit dad guide from the Western Realm to the Northern Realm, and then because he had revealed his true body in a small border town, he was targeted by the future city. ā€

"As for the 'Phoenix Feather', it's actually just the bird feathers on the adult phoenix... It's ridiculous that the group of tech nerds in the future city still treat him as a treasure for all kinds of research, and in the end they only get its most superficial effect. ā€

"What, I'm suddenly curious, what happened to that lost phoenix?"

"After successfully escaping the pursuit of the future city, it once again embarks on the journey home... Of course, as is customary, lost again. ā€

"Where's the confusion?"

"Southern Boundary."
