I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Why can't I be one of them?" Shen Li asked, suppressing her anger.

The Spirit Lord said calmly, "I told the Immortal Realm that you were ill, and therefore the wedding would be postponed for two months. Yet you, with your illness, appeared on the battlefield full of vigor, slaying demons and monsters. How am I supposed to respond to the Immortal Realm?"

Shen Li: "..."

During the silence, the Spirit Lord turned to a middle-aged man with a full beard and said softly, "General Shangbei, the task of supporting the border city is entrusted to you."

The man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Yes, sir."

Shen Li watched this scene quietly, clenching her fists inwardly, her gaze gradually hardening, as if she had made up her mind...

Lean less.

After leaving court.

While the Spirit Lord was cultivating in the palace, a young man in blue suddenly rushed to the door, knelt on one knee, and said quickly, "Spirit Lord, something terrible has happened! The Prince has gone to war with General Shang Bei."

"Ugh……"

The Spirit Lord sighed and murmured, "I knew it would end like this. Oh well, let her be."

She knew Shen Li's personality very well; once she got stubborn, nothing could stop her, especially in matters like this.

Therefore, instead of worrying about how to retrieve it, we should think about how to explain things to the celestial realm...

a few days later.

Border Town of the Spirit Realm.

Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the spirit realm army, Zixia was overjoyed and immediately led his generals out of the city to welcome them. When he saw Shen Li, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with General Shangbei, he was instantly delighted and waved from a distance, calling out, "Your Highness."

Shen Li replied with a smile, "General Zixia, it's been several years since we last met. How have you been?"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness," Zixia said with a smile. "I am quite fortunate. In this critical moment, I was helped by a noble person and turned the danger into safety. Otherwise, this city would probably have been taken over by demons."

"A benefactor?" A look of surprise flashed across Shen Li's face as she asked curiously, "What benefactor?"

Zixia said mysteriously, "I will take General Shangbei to the military camp to settle in first. Your Highness, please go to the General's residence. That noble lady is also there."

Shen Li chuckled: "From what you're saying, this important person knows me? I'd like to meet him..."

Lean less.

Shen Li rode a white horse slowly to the front of the general's mansion. With a very elegant posture, she dismounted and handed the reins to the gatekeeper who came to greet her: "Feed him the best feed and the best spring water."

"Yes, Your Highness," the gatekeeper replied respectfully.

"By the way, General Zixia said there's a distinguished person in this mansion. Where is he?" Shen Li asked with a smile.

The gatekeeper said, "He should be in the library. This noble person prefers quiet, so he usually spends a lot of time in the library."

"I'll go take a look." Shen Li waved her hand and walked into the garrison with practiced ease, heading straight for the library.

She had also fought on the frontier, so she was very familiar with the garrison headquarters; she could practically find its location with her eyes closed.

In the blink of an eye.

Shen Li strode into a pavilion and tiptoed up to the second floor. There she saw a figure sitting on the floor facing the window, with a small table in front of him and a stick of incense burning beside it.

That silhouette, hairstyle, clothes, and even the demeanor instantly reminded Shen Li of that person, and she subconsciously called out, "Qin Yao?"

Qin Yao turned around at the sound of the voice and said with a smile, "I had a feeling you would come, and you really did."

A smile appeared on Shen Li's face, and she immediately walked briskly to the small table: "What are you doing here?"

"I have come here seeking an opportunity," Qin Yao said.

"An opportunity..." Shen Li suddenly realized, and then asked, "Did you find it?"

Qin Yao nodded: "Found it."

"What opportunity?" Shen Li asked quickly.

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Demons and monsters."

Shen Li was taken aback: "Chimei? These are the most dangerous and vicious creatures. What does that have to do with opportunity?"

Qin Yao explained, "A strange person taught me a method to transform the power of demons into my own. You've come at the perfect time; let's go out of the city together and hunt down demons."

Shen Li's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Qin Yao, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but this path is definitely not the right one."

Or rather, the person who gave you this method must have malicious intentions.

You must know that those demons are extremely malevolent beings in the Three Realms. Even if you could subdue them, let alone whether you could, you would definitely…

Qin Yao raised his hand and said seriously, "I know all that you're saying. Trust me, I won't gamble with my life and fortune."

Shen Li: "..."

Before she could say anything more, Qin Yao slowly stood up: "Are you willing to fight alongside me?"

Shen Li pursed her lips, then summoned a golden spear with a wave of her hand: "I'm willing!"

half an hour.

Outside the border town.

With Qin Yao and Shen Li working together, a giant wolf-like demon was forcibly pinned to the ground by chains of law and a golden spear, and soon turned into a cloud of black mist, drifting towards the location of the Void Abyss.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, then suddenly raised his palm, controlling the black mist. It rushed into his body from his palm, transforming into a part of the demon god's body, causing the demon god's power within his body to surge.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened:

A terrifying black hole suddenly appeared within his divine realm, frantically absorbing the energy within. In just a short while, it absorbed most of the divine realm's energy and showed no sign of stopping.

Qin Yao's primordial spirit carefully sensed the black hole. Upon sensing a familiar aura within it, he was not alarmed but delighted. He actively poured the power of his divine kingdom into it continuously. After clearing the immortal energy of his divine kingdom, he even began to sacrifice demons, pouring the surging demonic energy into the hole like nourishment.

Thus, after all the demons in his body were cleared out, he took out all his pills, including the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and frantically consumed them to supply the black hole.

These golden pills were originally meant for his wives, but he couldn't care less about that now, because the black hole was filled with the aura of the system, and the system was the foundation of his existence!
Shortly after.

All the pills and spiritual energy on his body were also cleared out, so he had no choice but to take out the divine power from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and continue to nourish the black hole.

Under his unwavering support, the black hole shrank smaller and smaller until, after the opening completely disappeared, lines of familiar characters suddenly appeared before his eyes:
System restart successful.

[Host privileges upgraded.]

Congratulations on gaining controller privileges.

[An unconventional microcosm has been detected. System connection in progress...]

[Connection successful, scanning relevant information.]

[Scan complete. Read information/data?]

Qin Yao's heart skipped a beat.

came back.

His "prophetic" abilities are about to return. Finally, all the hardships have come to an end, and all his efforts these past few days have yielded positive results.

"Read information!"

Soon after, he almost shouted the command in his mind.

[Due to your privileged access levels, this viewing of the materials will be free of charge.]

As this line of characters appeared, countless images flashed rapidly across Qin Yao's divine realm.

This is a story called "Walking with the Phoenix".

Specifically, it tells the story of Shen Li, the Azure King of the Spirit Realm, who fell to the mortal world injured while trying to escape an arranged marriage. By chance, he encountered Xing Zhi, the last ancient god who had descended to the mortal realm to experience life.

The two traversed the three realms, working together to fight against the previous Spirit Lord and his loyal servants.

In the end, Xingzhi understood that Heaven's will did not allow the existence of any more ancient gods, so he faked his death to escape Heaven's control and lived happily ever after with Shen Li.

The story is very long.

However, most of the content is about "immortal romance," and the main plot is quite simple. The obvious enemy is the previous Spirit Lord Liu Ming, and the hidden enemy is the Heavenly Dao.

Liu Ming wants to connect the three realms, and the Heavenly Dao wants to destroy the ancient gods. Putting aside those celestial love tribulations, the main task of the male and female protagonists is to stop Liu Ming and get rid of the Heavenly Dao's scheme!

After seeing through the whole story in a short while, Qin Yao recalled the doubt that had arisen in his heart when he heard Xingzhi talk about the past, and couldn't help but sigh, "If it's true, my premonitions have always been very accurate."

"What premonition do you have this time?" Shen Li asked curiously after hearing him say this out of the blue in the wilderness.

Qin Yao slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Wait a moment."

Shen Li: "?"

What are you waiting for?
Qin Yao didn't say anything more, but instead silently asked in his heart: "System, calculate how many filial piety points are needed to separate Chang'e's soul from her current body?"

[Based on your controller privileges, separating Chang'e's soul is free.]

Qin Yao: "..."

Gan.

This controller's authority is amazing!

"No, what are you laughing at now?"

Shen Li sensed that the other party had been acting strangely ever since swallowing that demon. He would sometimes space out and sometimes laugh. Could it be that his mind had been disturbed by the demon?
"What I'm laughing about is that I've found a way to separate you from Chang'e," Qin Yao said.

Shen Li: "..."

For some reason, hearing these words made her feel a little reluctant.

It seemed as if this news wasn't good news for her.

"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy," Qin Yao asked.

Shen Li shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "No, I'm just curious how you suddenly found a way to separate us?"

Qin Yao lied and said, "I learned this magic from the strange man. Are you ready? If you are, I will now separate Chang'e from her."

Shen Li took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."

Despite her mixed feelings, she knew that sharing a body with Chang'e was only a temporary measure and couldn't last forever.

"System, immediately strip away Chang'e's soul," Qin Yao said in secret.

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of white light descended from the sky and landed precisely on Shen Li.

Within Shen Li's sea of ​​consciousness, Chang'e looked at the white light divine bridge that suddenly appeared beneath her feet, glanced back at the divine palace in her sea of ​​consciousness, and finally resolutely stepped onto the long bridge.

Not long after.

Chang'e walked out from between Shen Li's eyebrows along the bridge. The moment the white light dissipated, she landed on the ground and returned to her normal human form.

"I didn't expect you to come out so quickly." Looking at the beautiful goddess in front of her, Shen Li said with a complicated expression.

Chang'e smiled and looked at Qin Yao: "I didn't expect it either... but he can always do things that ordinary people simply can't do."

Shen Li nodded, completely agreeing with this viewpoint.

From beginning to end, Qin Yao's impression on her was that he was mysterious and powerful, with a sense that he could overcome all difficulties.

Qin Yao said with a smile, "I have another good news for you. I have found a new way to break off Shen Li's engagement."

Shen Li's eyes widened suddenly, and her mind went blank for a moment.

She didn't doubt what the other person said, but was astonished that the good news kept coming one after another, and each one was more important than the last!
"What method?" Chang'e smiled and glanced at Shen Li, then asked Qin Yao.

Qin Yao raised his hand and pointed to the black hole of the Void Heaven Abyss standing in the southern sky, saying, "The solution lies within this Void Heaven Abyss."

The two women looked in the direction he was pointing, and their gaze quickly traveled over a hundred miles to see the terrifying, constantly rotating hole.

"How could there be a way out here?" Shen Li murmured.

In her mind, the Void Heaven Abyss was where terrifying demons were suppressed, so how could demons be a way to escape marriage?

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she asked with a solemn face, "You don't mean to open the Void Abyss and release all the demons within, causing chaos in the Three Realms, do you? Although this would indeed postpone the wedding indefinitely, I disagree!"

Qin Yao chuckled and waved his hands repeatedly: "What kind of person do you think I am? Although I am not a good person, I am not a beast either. I would not do anything to harm the Three Realms for my own selfish reasons."

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "I really can't imagine what's inside this Void Heaven Abyss that could end my engagement..."

“You have a father.”

Qin Yao said, "With your father's strength, as long as the seal is lifted, he can protect you."

Shen Li was stunned: "My father? How could my father be in the Void Heaven Abyss?"

Qin Yao could only use the "Outsider" as a shield again, and slowly said, "This is all what the Outsider told me... By the way, do you know the origin of the Void Abyss?"

Shen Li shook her head: "I don't know. This matter is a taboo topic in the Spirit Realm. The Spirit Lord never allows people to talk about it."

Qin Yao said, "The strange man said that the previous Spirit Lord was named Liu Ming. He was ambitious and tried to unify the Three Realms. To this end, he created countless demonic beasts, hoping to achieve his goal through them."

But he overestimated himself. The powerful demon beast army was too difficult to control, and he simply couldn't manage it. Therefore, he exhausted all his efforts to create a demon beast king named Fenglai, who is your father.

Later, the Divine Lord Xingzhi descended to the mortal realm to exorcise demons. To seal the Six Netherworlds, Feng Lai, and the countless demonic beast armies, he created this Ruins of Heaven. Therefore, your father resides within the Ruins of Heaven.”

"This can't be true. How could my father be a demon created through crafting?" Shen Li shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to believe it.

"The strange man said that although your father was a demon, he was kind-hearted because of your mother's teachings. In fact, he is the core of this Void Heaven Abyss array, and he continues to protect the Three Realms to this day." Qin Yao said, "Now, do you still think your father is lowly?"

Shen Li: "..."

"Of course, if you don't want to see him, I won't force you."

Qin Yao said sincerely, "But I will go to him. A kind person like him shouldn't have such a tragic fate. If he can become the ruler of the Three Realms, it might be a blessing for the Three Realms."

Shen Li took a deep breath and said, "I'll go. I want to hear him tell me the story between him and my mother!" (End of Chapter)
