Chapter I: Prologue
Woo~ha~ah,la~ha~woo~ah......
The High Priest whispered an ancient incantation, as if throwing a stone into the watery void, and the ripples continued to spread outward, reaching the endless distance, and the thousands of altars on the ice field resonated with it, and the low and hoarse voice shook the hearts of billions of living beings.

The human race and spirit beasts of the ice field knew that the long-rumored rumors were finally about to become true, and the high priest who had lived for thousands of years was still defeated by the years and was about to fall.
In the heart of the ice field, the royal family and millions of pilgrims are witnessing this sad moment.
People knelt in the vast stone square and prayed to the altar in front of them, where an unquenchable fire burned the huge ancient ding, and the blue light of the fire lit up the night sky. The high priest, dressed in black, danced around the ancient ding, chanting and spreading the last incantation.
After a long time, the spell stopped, and the queen, who was kneeling at the front, raised her head and looked at the altar with tears in her eyes. The High Priest had already jumped into the Ancient Ding, and the boiling spiritual water enveloped the withered body, tearing flesh and blood, and hiding the priest's mortal body.
"Do not grieve, for after I die, my soul will not be separated, but I will still invite the spirits to seclusion you. From the skull that emerged from Gu Ding, the still clear eyes scanned the beings as dense as ants, like a soft light blowing towards the square.
There was already a cry in the square, and it was difficult for the people to accept the fall of the high priest.
The head said: "The void wall will be shattered, I was willing to summon the power of the spirit for you, awaken the sleeping ancient beasts, and go south with you to regain the lost land, tend to the outer gods, and kill the southerners who betrayed this world. The new High Priest will carry on my long-cherished wish and go to the Northland to summon spirits and beasts. ”
The queen wiped her tears with her sleeve and asked the head, "I hope the priest will make it clear when the heir will appear?"
The head said: "When the void wall is broken, there will be a strong person rising." But you can't wait, you must send someone to the north to find the ruins of the true dragon, and make a fortune for the successor. ”
The queen still had many questions, but the head had fallen into the boiling spiritual water, and there was no longer any life.
The queen got up, her beautiful face regained her fortitude, and she walked slowly forward, towards the altar, solemn and majestic, the phoenix feather cloak flashing with colorful light in the dark night. The crowd also swept away their grief, but still knelt down and expressed sincere worship to the queen on the altar.
After the fall of the High Priest, the Queen will be the only saint of the Spirits. She was still young, but she already had supreme authority.
At this time, a true phoenix broke through the sky and appeared above the square, covering the sky with bare wings, exuding bursts of cold aura. It was an ancient beast with the same name as the real dragon, but its physical body had been completely annihilated, and there was only a spirit shadow. Legend has it that it is a messenger of the spirits, and every time it appears, it is a sign that something important is about to happen.
When many people saw the true phoenix for the first time, they couldn't help but beckon to see the huge and gorgeous spirit shadow hovering in the sky.
The queen also looked up, she could sense the spirit of the true phoenix, but it was an obscure old language that she could not understand. "Do you know what kind of message the true phoenix brings?" asked the Queen, summoning the learned wise man.
The wise man closed his eyes and contemplated it, and only after a long time did he say: "The spiritual thoughts of the true phoenix are the native language of the old land in the south, and I can't fully understand it. If I'm not mistaken, it came for the fall of the High Priest and conveyed the condolences of the spirits. In addition, it will fall with the mortal womb in the fire tonight, obtain the true body of a human form, and store up strength for the upcoming conquest. ”
It was good news, and the queen's delicate body trembled slightly, and she was pleasantly surprised. But how can you find the reincarnated true phoenix?
Before the queen could ask, the wise man had already noticed the doubtful thoughts. "Zhenhuang didn't say it explicitly, or maybe I didn't understand it, and I need to understand it carefully in the future. But the human body of the true phoenix must be extraordinary, and I believe that it will not be long before we can perceive its existence. The Knower said.
The queen groaned for a moment, and made a startling decision. "It's not enough to wait, we have to find it and help it grow. She ordered on the spot that all regions of the Ice Plain immediately build temples of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden, and concentrate on raising the babies born during the fire tonight, and teach them the best spiritual skills in the Ice Field.
The wise man is puzzled, the ice field has a large population, tens of millions of people are born every hour, and it is a huge project to raise so many babies in a concentrated manner.
The queen smiled and glanced at the wise man, and said, "It is worth it, the big war is coming, and we need to have a young army." The Son and the Babies of the Temple of the Holy Maiden will grow up with the True Phoenix and be indoctrinated into powerful warriors. ”
In the square, millions of pilgrims chanted together to praise the queen for her wisdom. The blood shook the valley in the distance.
The queen was decisive, and her decision was immediately drafted into a decree and thrown into the unquenchable fire on the altar, and then, from the blue flame, countless fire phoenixes flew out, all of them were spirit shadows, and they set off from the altar with the decree condensed into spiritual thoughts, and flew to the altars of various regions to convey the queen's will to hundreds of millions of people.
The real phoenix is still in the sky above the square, witnessing all kinds of here, it is silent, only the cold breath and brilliant brilliance make people feel its extraordinary existence.
There were a few more spiritual thoughts coming out of the True Phoenix, but even the wise people didn't understand it at all.
It would be nice if the High Priest was still there, and if the High Priest could talk to the spirit god, he would definitely understand the spirit of the true phoenix.
After a short time, the spirit shadow of the true phoenix shattered, turned into nine rays of light and shadow, scattered in all directions, and disappeared into the endless distance. "The real phoenix may not have more than one human body. "The wise man said, Xiang Fax Phoenix has nine bodies, and it will be destroyed after nine deaths.
Yes, in the ancient wars, the true phoenix fought bloodily and experienced nine deaths before the last flesh was annihilated, and the spirit god rebuilt its spirit body and gave it a spirit shadow. As for the true dragon, it fled to the northern cold after being seriously injured, and no one knows where it is hiding. The spirit god acquiesced to the true dragon's escape, believing that it was a wise move to preserve power.
The queen was also very familiar with this legend, she looked at the distance where the shadow of the real phoenix disappeared, remembered this legend she had heard since she was a child, and pondered silently.
The wise man sensed her spiritual thoughts again, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the legend is true, the true dragon is not dead, this is what even the high priest is sure of." ”
"In that great battle 10,000 years ago, the true dragon did not appear. The queen reminded the wise man that the true dragon, even if it was still alive, might have lost the courage to fight the outer gods.
The wise man was very determined, he believed that the fleeing true dragon was still brave, "It may be waiting for the right time, and the real phoenix did not show up in the last battle." In fact, according to the historical records, the spirit gods did not support that war, and King Bu Yaxing insisted on going his own way, so he suffered a crushing defeat and lost the ghost tiger. ”
"How dare you insult King Bu?" In the square, many people stepped forward and pressed the wise man. They are all royal families, and their ancestors once followed King Bu Yaxing to fight, and for them, the great battle 10,000 years ago was still glorious despite defeat. In fact, at that time, the Terran and Spirit Beast Legions led by King Bu Yaxing had ransacked the south, destroyed thousands of divine mines, and almost achieved victory.
The queen was also slightly angry, reminding the wise man, "King Buyaxing is not wrong, that battle is necessary." ”
There is a precedent for a wise man to be killed for saying the wrong thing, and the previous chief wise man was killed for angering the previous king, and his spirit body was beheaded, and he disappeared in the spirit world.
Fortunately, the queen calmed her anger and raised her hand to order the royal family to retreat, and continued to consult the wise man, "How is this battle different from the previous one?"
The wise man calmed his mind and replied carefully in a trembling voice: "According to the information obtained by the secret agents, the divine mines in the south have been exhausted, and the countries have not sent divine substances to the heavens for thousands of years to worship the outer gods. ”
Without the help of the outer gods, the southerners will be defeated. For the first time, the queen had the belief that she would win.
The Queen's spiritual thoughts spread through the square, and the blood of millions of pilgrims boiled, and the roar filled the sky, shaking the valley. Everyone is full of confidence, as if they are just waiting for the boundary wall to be broken, leading the spirit beast to the south, in the rich south, everything is within reach.
However, the next message made people fall from the sky and send chills through their hearts.
"It is also possible that more outer gods will descend and lead the traitors of the south to the north, conquer the last pure land, capture and plunder us, and open up a sacred mine in this ice field, so that we, like those betrayers, will sacrifice to the outer gods with divine substances year after year, and live in secret. The wise man said.
