"You..." Han Yuan was speechless.
The Phoenix God sighed, "Don't be shocked. I really have no other choices."
"In fact, I am desperate. My 'perfect' self has always known she would perish at the hands of others one day."
"She tried everything within her power to avoid that fate, but inevitably, that day came."
"She saved the Phoenix Clan from complete extinction and left me behind in case a chance for survival appeared."
"And that chance has finally appeared today."
"Although I am merely a wisp of the Phoenix God and not her in every aspect, I still possess a lingering Creation Force that will benefit your cultivation."
"The Phoenix God's wisp of soul wasn't without merit. I can rival some powerful 1st Class Gods and even Godkings briefly if I push myself to the limit."
"Unfortunately, I am merely a spark without a source."
"I reckon I would die in twenty, no, thirty thousand years."
"Unless the Ancestors of the Phoenix God, the Space-Time Blue Demon Birds, are born in this universe again, the Phoenix God will not reappear."
"So, you are indeed my only choice."
"With your miraculous Spirit Soul Method and Spirit Soul Pact, not only will my wisp of Divine Soul be able to survive, but I can slowly regain my strength and return to life as well..."
Han Yuan used the Eyes of Truth to analyze the Phoenix God's wisp of soul briefly before sighing, "Alright, I trust you."
"Your desperation is genuine."
"But I am still confused about how you ended up in this state."
The Phoenix God's eyes drooped slightly as she replied, "A long time ago, two Space-Time Blue Demon Birds, the Silver Blue Demon Bird and the Golden Blue Demon Bird, were born in the universe."
"They are darlings of space and time, possessing an extreme, almost heaven-defying affinity for these attributes."
"Usually, only one Blue Demon Bird could appear at a time."
"Yet, a miracle occurred, and both Blue Demon Birds were born in the same era, leading to the birth of the Phoenix God, who inherited their powerful affinities and genes."
"The birth of the Phoenix God was an era-defining miracle because she was born with the divine ability of the Creation Force, capable of manifesting nearly anything she could imagine."
"..." Han Yuan's mouth twitched.
What is this?
Aren't you just praising yourself?
The Phoenix God's wisp of soul sighed, "Unfortunately, the Creation Force that the Phoenix God is proud of is also the source of her problems. Many greedy eyes have been watching it ever since her birth."
"As long as the Phoenix God hasn't mastered this innate ability, others can still steal it away."
"So, the Phoenix God wandered the universe, searching for a solution until she met the God of Destruction."
"Too bad the God of Destruction, who could have neutralized the Phoenix God's Creation Force, is already married to the Goddess of Life, rendering her plans useless."
"Not long after, the Phoenix God met the ancestor of the Subdragon, the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon King, who had a Destruction Force that was no weaker than the God of Destruction."
"Maybe it was fate, but the two of them fell in love, given their unfortunate circumstances."
"Even then, such a love story doesn't have a happy ending."
"Just when the Phoenix God and the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon King decided to fuse their Innate Divine Forces, the Dragon God and Dragon Clan declared war against them."
"The Dragon God claimed that the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon King was too destructive, but the Phoenix God knew he was merely eyeing the latter's Destruction Force."
"At that time, the Dragon God had just reached the Godking realm, but using his secret bloodline technique, he defeated and killed the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon King."
"He seized the Destruction Force, making himself even stronger."
"After that, the Dragon God and the Phoenix God became mortal enemies, but the former was simply too powerful. Now, with the Destruction Force, even the Phoenix God cannot stop him."
"Ultimately, the Phoenix God chose to perish, not at the hands of the Dragon God, but by her own hand."
"She detonated the Creation Force, leaving only a handful of divine soul wisps, including me."
"What happened to the Creation Force?" Han Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
The Phoenix God laughed weakly, "What else? The Dragon God obviously seized the Creation Force and claimed it as his own, but he didn't realize that balancing both forces isn't easy."
"Even if he was the Dragon God!"
"No, let alone balancing the two Creation and Destruction Forces, which is dangerous enough, but I am sure he tried to fuse them, too."
"He's either succeeded by accident or died trying."
"Hmph, I hope it's the latter." She snorted unhappily.
Deep inside Han Yuan's Spiritual World, Di Yating didn't expect the Dragon Clan to have such a history.
She, no, every True Dragon, always thought the Dragon God was born with innate destructive power and divine creation abilities beyond the norm.
But who would have thought that Dragon God stole these two divine abilities from others?
However, considering the turmoil of that era, it was purely a matter of survival of the fittest.
Di Yating didn't excuse the Dragon God or Dragon Clan because she was a dragon herself, but the Phoenix God was clearly not strong enough to survive that era.
Isn't this just a case of an innocent man guilty of possessing a great treasure?
Possessing a treasure without strength is a sin in a world ruled by powers!
Even then, Di Yating must also admit that Dragon God's despicableness to declare war when a pair of lovers is just about to do their business.
This level of third-wheeling is so devious that even she felt embarrassed by it.
Then, Di Yating realized a problem. A big problem. "Eh, wait, if the Phoenix God's Wisp of Divine Soul becomes Han Yuan's Spirit Soul, wouldn't she stay in Han Yuan's Spiritual World as well?"
"Shit, wouldn't she just bully me because I was a dragon?"
"No, no, no, this won't do!"
"Han Yuan, reject her! Reject her for me!" She shouted in panic.
"Hmph, stupid dragon..." Neru, who was enjoying the story of the Phoenix God, glanced at Di Yating and mumbled slightly.
Meanwhile, Han Yuan didn't know Di Yating was panicking because he was busy thinking about Phoenix God's intention.
Han Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "Hmm, I would like to have you as my Spirit Soul, Senior Fenghuang."
"But none of my martial souls seems compatible with you."
Phoenix God gazed at Han Yuan quietly and replied, "Indeed, your three powerful martial souls can't accommodate me. That monstrous ant and body of yours are too overpowering for my current state."
"That grass with Thunder God's bloodline isn't bad, but not good enough to host me."
"The only choice is your 4th martial soul."
"Oh, you can actually sense it." Han Yuan raised his eyebrow.
"It's not difficult," Phoenix God replied casually. "Back then, the 'perfect' version of me had tried to create a phoenix-blooded human genius with three martial souls using her Creation Force."
"What happened after?" Han Yuan's eyes lit up.
Phoenix God's eyes dimmed slightly, "That human genius died."
"Creation Force is not omnipotent and is too overbearing for an ordinary soul to handle. That's why the ordinary limit for genius is twin martial souls and not triplets."
"Any more than that could cause the soul to burst, which is even worse than death itself."
"Still, you're an exception to this. I can see that you awakened an innate twin and an unfinished formless martial soul when awakening your spirit."
"Then, your body-type spirit awakens later by activating the potential in your human's blood."
"A clever approach, and also shows how special your soul is."
"With my help, I can help you form your fourth martial soul and directly turn it into a God-level Spirit!"
Han Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he collected himself. "Tell me your plan first."
"Okay." Phoenix God knew Han Yuan was interested in her plan.
