Chapter 8 — Phuong Khoi Cuu Trung

I was cold, one finger placed on her seal, the golden light gathered into a vortex, in an instant, Phuong Hau's memories were forcefully pulled out by me, each image poured into my mind like a tide. And then — the truth of the blood staining the Nine Heavens appeared before our eyes. Turns out, her mother's death... was directly related to her! I saw her that year, just a lowly servant, always bowing her head to serve the Divine Emperor Mother. Trusted by her mother, she gradually climbed to a high position, but from there, ambition grew. Before the great war of gods and demons, she secretly killed "Slaying God Tan" inside her mother's body. This type of poison is invisible and colorless, does not kill immediately, but will block the God Emperor's divine power little by little. That's why, during the great battle with the Demon Clan, the mother's divine power was unstable, and was eventually attacked by the Demon Army... the jade bones were shattered, the jade's fragrance disappeared! The next memory makes my fingers tremble. In the solitude of the night before the battle, Phuong Hau hugged a black crow, her face was full of passion, her eyes were gentle that we have never seen her give to anyone. It's this damned black crow! It turned out that Phuong Chau was originally the bloodline of low-class demons and crows, but she... wanted to borrow the name of the God Emperor, deceive the entire Phuong clan, combine the blood of the evil clan, and plot to make her son sit on the throne! I clenched my fists, spiritual energy swirled in my dantian, the top of my head was billowing with golden clouds, my fingernails were as cold as sword blades. I opened my eyes, the golden beam shot straight, a powerful palm threw Phuong Hau straight onto the stone floor. “You still dare… mention my mother?” My voice resounds like mighty thunder. The entire main hall shook, the jade walls shook, and the phoenix paintings cracked. Phuong Hau hit the jade steps hard, a crisp "crack" sound rang out, we knew the chest bone was broken. She opened her mouth, a mouthful of thick black blood spurted out, her breathing was ragged, her body trembled like a late autumn leaf. In a pool of blood, Phuong Hau struggled to raise her head to look at me, her eyes were red, her voice was broken, each word was like a knife cutting through her throat: "I... I was wrong... pray... please Goddess... spare... my... life..." "Just look at... the merits of that year I used to... serve the Divine Emperor... please... spare me a way to live..." Before the words were finished - a burning tear of blood welled up in my chest. I bent down, my eyes filled with golden flames, my voice cold as a thousand years of ice and snow: "You... are not worthy of mentioning my mother." Spiritual energy exploded, a powerful stream of golden fire gathered into her palm, like a world-destroying thunder, hitting her in the chest. The explosion was loud and blood stained the steps of the phoenix hall red. "Today, my deity will send you down to Hoang Tuyen to demand justice on my mother's behalf!" My finger lightly clicked, heavenly power exploded. Just listen! With a sound, the sky and earth suddenly darkened, the clouds rolled like a sea of ink, and golden lightning descended from the Nine Heavens, ferocious like thunder, breaking through the sky. The beam of divine lightning glowed brightly, tearing through the air, hitting straight into Phuong Hau's body. “Aaaaaaa —— !!!” The pitiful scream tore through the air, echoing to the horizon. In just a moment, Phuong Hau's flesh and blood exploded, her bones disintegrated into ashes, and her soul scattered like ash in the wind. But I won't let her disappear. A golden light wrapped around the remaining soul, I sealed a ray of divine soul and threw it straight into the realm of Ma Uyen. "You owe my mother your life. From now on, you will forever be torn apart by thousands of demons, and you will never be reborn!" I turned around and walked closer to the black crow lying limp in a pool of blood. Its eyes were once arrogant, now only panic and despair. “Quack… quack…” It trembled and flapped its wings, wanting to fly away, but I didn't allow it. I raise my finger, the second heavenly thunder falls! With just a "Bang" sound, the thunder exploded like a heavenly fire, Phuong Chau's body immediately turned into ash, leaving only two black feathers, falling in the breeze to my palm, like a mark of fate engraved deeply into heaven and earth. Behind me, the Phoenix Emperor had collapsed, his eyes filled with tears, his voice trembling like a broken wind in the middle of winter: "It turns out... it turns out... in the past you may not have died... It was all my fault... If I hadn't left for a moment that year... you... would not have left our father and son..." I turned around, gently placed my hand on his shoulder, my voice was as soft as the wind blowing clouds: "Father, don't blame yourself... Mother sacrificed herself for the peace of the three worlds, she sacrificed herself for the peace of the three worlds. Spending ten thousand years guarding Ma Uyen, protecting hundreds of tribes from destruction, mother... will definitely be proud of others." At that moment, a warm divine wind gently swept from the horizon, the scent of the clear spirit wafted through the nose, and each petal of the golden poinciana flower fell softly like a dream. I unconsciously reached out and touched a familiar warmth pressing on my cheek. In the dazzling golden halo, a figure wearing a robe stepped out from the clouds: "Ah Nhi... you did very well... mother... love you..." Her voice was gentle, carrying the tenderness of a thousand years, enough to wash away ten thousand years of blood and tears. My tears finally couldn't be held back, sliding down my cheeks, dissolving into the wind... In the sky, a wall of auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, five-colored halos spread across nine floors, like the Three Realms itself bowing down to bid farewell to the emperor. I put on a dark red phoenix robe and stepped out of the Phoenix Palace, each step shaking the nine heavens. In the air, clouds turn into clouds, golden umbrellas fly, and thousands of birds guard Phuong Island. On the ground, around Ngo Dong Island, hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers lined up in a sea formation, the army rolled like a tsunami, dragons flooded the sky and made the earth tremble. In the vibrating dragon roar, the entire Dragon clan knelt down, a voice echoed throughout the three worlds: "Send off the Goddess' wedding! Congratulations on the wedding of the Goddess!" I raised my head and looked towards the horizon. In the brilliant light of the galaxy, Hao Duong Than Quan, wearing a golden outfit, descended from the nine layers of heaven, walking step by step, carrying a divine aura that covered the eight deserts and four seas. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, his fingertips trembled slightly as he reached out to me: "Dao Nhi... I've come to pick you up..." In the sound of congratulations that echoed across the ocean, I placed my hand in his palm, feeling the familiar temperature, as if there was an invisible force lifting me from the tears of blood and pain. Every time the heavenly music of the dragon sings, every golden cloud and phoenix dance, all blend with the sound of thousands of birds worshiping. I stepped onto the mekong palanquin, the pearl curtains hung down, the crimson phoenix robe rolled in the wind, the golden brooch of divine light shook the entire nine heavens. When my cross touches the nine heavens, all the gods prostrate and all the lights gather into one figure. I turned my head and looked towards the distant realm of Ma Uyen. In the sea of rolling clouds, we see Phuong Hau being restrained deep abyss, the body and soul were torn apart inch by inch by ten thousand demons, the screams of sadness echoed into the void. My eyes were cold, I just curled my lips slightly, not saying a word. The past… is buried in ashes and thunder. From now on, we no longer look in that direction. I turned around and walked into Van Tieu palace. The ancient bell rang three times, golden light penetrated the sky, the thousand-mile wide zenith was covered with a layer of five-colored spiritual light. The Four Seas and Eight Destinations, the gods of all races, all prostrated themselves. Thousands of voices shouted in unison, forming a sky-shaking sound, echoing throughout the world: "Goddess descends to earth, Goddess ascends, heaven and earth are unparalleled!" I stood in the middle of a sea of five-colored clouds, the golden phoenix seal on my eyebrows was as bright as the sun and moon, seemingly causing the sun god to bow his head, the moon god to kneel, and heaven to be silent. Hao Duong stood next to me, holding my hand tightly, his eyes seemed to engrave the whole universe: "From now on, you... are the only person who will guard the three worlds with me." I smiled slightly, in that moment, I knew I was no longer the small emperor of the Phuong clan, but the supreme existence of heaven and earth. Above the nine heavens, thousands of rays of light shine brightly, divine sounds penetrate the eight deserts: "From today, heaven and earth are the only one - Goddess!"
