147. Spread your wings and soar
Valentina's consciousness sank, as if her body was being tied and dragged down by countless boulders, and in her confused vision, she only saw the faint purple light all around her, and beyond the flashing purple of unknown origin, it was an extremely terrifying dark red.
Wait a minute... Fisher!
Just when Valentina felt more and more sleepy and cold, she suddenly remembered Fisher's face, so she reluctantly opened her eyes, and desperately twisted her body to swim up, but the dragging force was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't break free no matter what, so she could only let the force drag her down again.
But in the process of sinking like this, her eyes were also decorated with an extremely spectacular scene at the same time.
In front of her eyes, layers of magic wrapped in crimson strange energy formed an indistinguishable stack in an extremely vast space, and each layer shimmered with a scenery very similar to the [dream] magic left to her by Valentina's mother before, but she was not in that dream, but was constantly being dragged towards the spiritual realm opposite to the real world.
Behind her, the door locked by the invisible rules should not be detected by the living beings, but at this moment, a dark red color was terrifyingly revealed, as if behind the door, there was something on the other side of the spirit world that wanted to enter from here, her body did not enter the crack, but there were still energy escaping from it, locked by the shadow of a giant tree in front of Valentina.
"Kid, come over here..."
Just as Valentina hesitated, a soft female voice suddenly came from the shadow of the giant tree locked by scarlet energy, and Valentina had only heard this voice for a short time, so she immediately recognized the identity of the voice's owner,
"Moon Princess? Is that you? ”
"It's me, kid, just come to the pedestal, we'll all be waiting for you here."
Valentina didn't move immediately after hearing this, but just looked vigilantly at the giant tree called "pedestal" by the princess of the moon, for fear that this was the trap that the pedestal lured to make up for it, and the vigilant look made the princess's voice laugh, and she spoke again,
"Rest assured, now that the energy polluted by the spirit realm has been divided, the endless dreams in front of you are constructed by her power, which also weakens her ability to lock on to the pedestal. And the time in the real world is fixed, and your body has not become one with us, so the pedestal cannot be complete..."
Valentina heard the Moon Princess say this before hesitantly wandering towards the shadow of the giant tree, in this special space between the spirit world, the closer she got to the shadow of the giant tree, the clearer the scene of the giant tree became.
It was a giant tree that was blocked by some kind of cold moonlight, and on the platform below the giant tree, a blue-haired woman with a two-meter-tall background, a pair of blue wings growing on her back, and an elegant white dress made of satin, her long green hair pinned to the back of her head, was neatly tied by a slender ice hairpin, and it was not until she saw it in person now that Valentina suddenly realized that she had never seen the moon princess's outfit in reality.
"Come here, kid."
"Moon Princess..."
Valentina flew to the side of the tall figure, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a smile, as if her whole body was shining, behind her, the long white robe was still supported by a colorful neon dress, and the phoenix woman in front of her was even more beautiful.
"You weren't out there just now... Why is it here again? ”
"This is the [Pedestal], the place where the spirit being wants to use as a springboard to enter the real world, but in the same way, because of the incompleteness of the pedestal and the action of another spirit god, the pedestal that was originally used as her springboard has also temporarily become a prison that she can't get out of, which is why the stars have not left the spirit world for thousands of years and invaded... What you see outside is my reliquentily infused consciousness, but my true soul has been put here to be reunited with my loved ones by the spirit god who helped us. ”
"The spirit world... Another god? ”
Valentina asked, looking with some amazement at the extremely cold moonlight that was incompatible with the scarlet light under the shadow of the incomplete giant tree.
Princess Moon smiled and didn't say much, just reached out and touched the sideburns of the short Valentina in front of her, then rolled up a little sleeve, pointed to the giant tree next to her and said,
"Rank, please look at this child, she is the last blood I have left in the world..."
Hearing the words of the Moon Princess, Valentina looked up at the giant tree in front of her, and suddenly saw a shadow standing on the giant tree, on which stood many phoenix species with huge wings, wearing armor, long robes, and blue hair, all of them stood on the branches of the giant tree, looking at the short Valentina next to the Moon Princess.
"How can the broken things be continued?"
"The face of a phoenix is unsquare, but it is just a human ear..."
Facing the whispers of the shadows on the branches, the Moon Princess smiled slightly, but looked up at the very top of the huge tree, where a male phoenix in a white shirt and squinting smiled silently, while another phoenix wearing heavy armor and holding hands only snorted coldly, and was also silent.
For above them, a graceful woman with wings hanging behind her to form a beautiful skirt sat upright on the top of a tree, quietly looking at Valentina.
They are the legendary Prince of Frost and the Prince of Ice, who are as famous as the Moon Princess, and the mother of the three princes and princesses, the King of the Phoenix, Nefera Muyi.
Valentina was a little unnatural by the phoenix on the branches, and only felt a little safe that the figure of the Moon Princess standing in front of her was a little safe, she quietly moved her steps in the direction of the Moon Princess, but she still kept looking around, looking for Fisher's figure, she wanted to find him.
After a long time, the king of the phoenix, who was sitting on the top of the tree, nodded lightly to the moon princess and said,
"Yes."
All the phoenixes around them fell silent, only Valentina opened her mouth in a panic and asked the Moon Princess,
"Wait, Moon Princess, what the hell are you guys in... What for, I don't quite understand..."
After receiving the instructions of the King of Phoenixes, the Moon Princess bowed her head and saluted all the phoenixes, and then she elegantly placed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, turned her head to look at Valentina and said,
"Valentina, don't be afraid or panic, the future who stands here will be your elders, and it is not without purpose that I take the risk to let you return to the Sycamore Tree, because even we want to leave a little spark of hope, and this is the condition that the Mother promised to sacrifice the whole clan, because we saw you... In the future, you will be the only complete phoenix left in this world, but you will not be the last. ”
"I... However, I used to live as a human being, and I was still a disabled person. I'm not sure... Do I really have the responsibility and responsibility to be a phoenix, I went back to the Sycamore Tree just so that Fisher and myself could live, that's all. ”
Although it is more appropriate to say some scene words at this time, but looking at the gentle Moon Princess in front of her, for some reason, Valentina is still a little unconfident, and she can't believe that these extremely powerful phoenixes in front of her are really waiting for her, and this sudden mission makes her a little overwhelmed, which leads to sincere doubts.
But after she said these words, the phoenixes on the tree didn't say anything, just looked at her, but the moon princess patted her head, and the eyes that shone with the same ice light as Valentina didn't know if she thought of her stillborn without the slightest sense, she just whispered,
"We moved here a long, long time ago from under a giant tree near the Far South and Far East continents, and the creatures who live there believe in the guidance of the bloodline just like us. You have the richest bloodline of mine, even if it temporarily resides in the human body, but the spirit world does not give you a soul according to the human body..."
"Your blood contains my mother's kindness to save the people, my uncle's bravery, my middle brother's shrewd calculations, and of course, my optimism and contentment in the face of inadequacy.
Following the soft words of the Moon Princess, Valentina's heartbeat that had accelerated because she was at a loss just now calmed down a little bit, and the Moon Princess lifted her lowered head little by little, looked into her eyes, and said word by word,
"In the face of the oppression of tyrants, our ancestors rebelled and migrated here with their people; In the face of the war of oppression of the stars, we also stood up and won the victory; In the face of the impending death of the future, we can also take risks and give the world a future. ”
"It's not that we don't have fear, regardless of gains and losses, it's just that we always believe that every phoenix in a desperate situation will eventually spread its wings and soar."
Valentina's pale hole shrank slightly, and her eyes that shimmered with the brilliance of Zhen Ice invisibly reflected every phoenix standing on the tree in front of her, until she crossed the figures of the Frost Prince and the Ice Prince, and looked at the noble Phoenix King.
The silent Phoenix King gently stretched out his hand to her, and as her robe swayed slightly, a slender feather that shimmered with cold light also fell off her hand, swaying and falling, heading towards Valentina.
"Valentina, the Fisher you are looking for is in that dream, where our thread of fate will be separated, but we will still meet in memory, as for now..."
Valentina gently reached out and took over a feather that emitted a slight cold light, and the gentle Moon Princess behind her also smiled and pointed to the dream in the distance wrapped in layers of dark red energy, the space seemed to be quiet, and only the voice of the Moon Princess remained,
"Run with all your might, Valentina."
Valentina's body temperature rising little by little, obviously the palm of her hand was so cold, but Princess Moon's words seemed to set her on fire, because in front of her, the cold moonlight was being broken little by little by the power outside the spirit world, thus forming a straight path to the distant dream in this gap.
Whether it was the eagerness to help Fisher or the push of the phoenixes' trust in her, the sense of responsibility, the anxiety, and the excitement all mixed together made her unable to tell the difference, and it just made her go crazy and want to run to Fisher's side, wanting to get rid of the fragility of being confined to a wheelchair and powerless in the past...
The feeling of being cared for, the feeling of being bound, all turned into the motivation for Valentina to run with all her strength at this moment.
She gritted her teeth, pinched the feather in her hand tightly, and under the gentle gaze of the Moon Princess and all the phoenixes behind her, she ran towards the distant dream without looking back, following the path formed by the little cracking moonlight.
Inadequate... Inadequate...
She ran wildly, her long white hair mixed with beads of sweat rising and falling between her temples, because the gasping of running could no longer limit her wantonness, and the shackles of reality could no longer trap her soul that wanted to be free...
At some point, the cold feather she held tightly disappeared completely, and behind her, the shadow standing in front of the tree also disappeared completely, and with the complete disappearance of the moonlight, the pedestal was becoming a little bit complete, but Valentina, who had run to the limit, still felt that it was not enough.
She's going to run faster, she's going to go farther, she's going to get to Fisher!
Just as she kept running with her eyes closed, behind her, a pair of huge pale blue wings that seemed to have endured in a thick cocoon for a long time suddenly unfolded, and the ice color in her eyes spread little by little, dyeing her back with a layer of frost-like fluff, and her fragile figure was once again raised, becoming beautiful and powerful...
The black lines on her back were dyed white little by little, gradually forming cloud-like lines along the wings behind her back, her ears became slender little by little, and several feathers that clinged to her skin grew behind her ears, and she was still wearing the long black dress she had used in the north, but she was no longer as fragile as Valentina at that time.
As she ran, the newborn wings contracted and opened, as if roaring at the world it had missed for so many years, and at that moment when her wings flapped, with a sonic boom that resounded through the cracks, she also truly transformed into the phoenix seed, and the soul of the phoenix seed flew into the layers of dreams.

"Fisher!"
Ahead, she saw the humble church of Nari, the blonde nun sitting in the doorway, and of course Fisher, who was lying on his stomach with his wounds, and Earwind, who was about to do something behind him.
Her hole shrank slightly, spread her wings and vibrated behind her with a sonic boom that resounded through the sky, and then swooped down like lightning towards Earwind.
Earwind, who was about to make a move on Fisher, saw the rapidly expanding shadow beneath his feet, and before he could turn back, his entire upper body was shattered by the frost-covered sound of the breaking wind.
"Kakaka!"
The sound of frost spreading all the way out for a long time, Earwind's body shattered and instantly reorganized, he twisted his head, looked ahead with some surprise, and said,
"Phoenixes in their entirety, this is interesting, they have perished for so long, I have never seen their real bodies, but I am fortunate to see them here... Moreover, they are still acquaintances. ”
I saw that in front of Erwinde, Valentina, who spread out her frost giant wings, held the equally surprised Fisher in her arms, and as Earwind's voice sounded, the huge wings that were bubbling with cold air also tightened little by little, hugging Fisher in her arms a little bit,
"I don't care who you are, but you'd better stay away from my husband!"
Valentina's eyes were slightly cold, and her wings trembled like a bird, as if she was about to burst out and hurt people, and in Valentina's arms, Fisher also felt the newly grown fluff on her body cold, soft and easy to touch.
This is, the real Phoenix.
Even here, in the gap between the spiritual world and reality, the moment he saw Valentina, the very familiar illusory golden subtitles appeared in front of Fisher's eyes, only to see that in the golden illusory subtitles, the original garbled text was distorted a little, and finally became clear and recognizable

Fisher, who was lying in Valentina's arms, blinked, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.
