Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 1 Birth

The year 2628 of the Douluo Calendar.

Ye Li transmigrated to another world for unknown reasons, his soul absorbed into an egg. His early life inside the egg was full of twists and turns. His mother was a phoenix goddess comparable to the dragon god. The dragon god created the phoenix goddess, who was destined to destroy the world...

The unlucky child Ye Li thought he would have a perfect start after birth, but he encountered the battle between the five great god kings of the god realm and the dragon god. His mother, the phoenix god, also went to help. This caused the perfect situation to collapse in an instant when the dragon god was cut in two and the phoenix god was exhausted. It was the kind of broken situation that could not be put back together.

Ye Li, inside the phoenix egg, thought there was no hope for her future. Just as the Silver Dragon King was traveling to Douluo Continent through the spacetime turbulence, her mother, the Phoenix Goddess, used her life's cultivation and bloodline to condense the Phoenix God Core, the supreme artifact Phoenix Feather Fan, and the derivative artifact Flame Phoenix Sword. These three treasures merged into Ye Li's body, allowing her to travel to Douluo Continent with the Silver Dragon King. Due to the influence of the spacetime turbulence, Ye Li arrived in Douluo Continent a little later than the Silver Dragon King.

Above the Star Dou Great Forest

Thunderclouds rolled and dark clouds filled the sky, a suffocating atmosphere engulfing the soul beasts on the ground. Death seemed to invade everyone's hearts. All the ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest came to the Lake of Life, and most of them showed thoughtful expressions.

Di Tiandao asked, "You sensed it too?"

The Demon King nodded, his voice slightly low, and said, "This feeling is hard to describe exactly, but I'm afraid a huge change is about to happen."

"Me too." Xiong Jun scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.

Beside Xiong Jun, Zi Ji and Bi Ji stood side by side, their brows furrowed and their eyes showing worry. The Crimson King, whose cultivation was lower, was the same.

They had all sensed the feeling that Di Tian had described. At that moment, a rich rosy light dissipated from the dark, cloud-covered sky, and a hint of recollection appeared in Di Tian's eyes, as if he had remembered something.

At this moment, all the intelligent birds and beasts in the Starry Sky Forest hovered around the area shrouded in the glow of the sunset. For a moment, all the ferocious beasts looked at this unusual phenomenon with some confusion.

Brigitte's face immediately showed astonishment, and her voice even trembled slightly from shock, "My cultivation level... has actually increased dramatically!"

Di Tian frowned, glancing at Bi Ji with some shock. He then looked up at the scene in the sky, his face showing disbelief. He murmured, "A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix... just how deep must the phoenix bloodline be?"

At that moment, a whooshing sound drew everyone's attention. A huge crack, hundreds of meters long, had been torn open in the sky, and a fireball was falling from the sky at an astonishing speed.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the object engulfed in fireball crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater.

The ferocious beasts exchanged glances and then walked towards the large pit. At this moment, the flames in front of them slowly faded, and a pale blue egg revealed its shape. Its surface was engraved with a phoenix pattern, and everyone's heart trembled.

"Pureblood Phoenix!"

Just as they were about to get close, a strong energy was released from the phoenix egg, forcing Di Tian and the others back. Bi Ji glanced at Di Tian and the others, then turned around and picked up the blue phoenix egg.

At this moment, Di Tian had a rough guess about the situation. Bi Ji, who possessed the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan, could naturally get close. Their bloodline was not enough to compare with that egg, which is why they were forced to retreat. Perhaps only the Lord could get close.

"Alright, everyone disperse. Brigitte will take the egg and come with me to see the Lord."

Upon hearing the words "Lord," the group's expressions turned solemn.

Di Tian and Bi Ji leaped into the shimmering lake, creating a slight splash. After they left, the lake gradually returned to its usual tranquility.

After entering the lake, in order to protect the phoenix egg, Brigitte casually waved her hand, and a green protective shield enveloped the three of them, separating them from the lake water.

Di Tian and Bi Ji unconsciously bent over, "My lord."

"Come in." A pleasant voice rang out.

The cave was simply decorated, with nothing but a crystal bed that shone brightly and a crystal chair that exuded a touch of nobility. Gu Yuena sat on the ground, her long silver hair flowing down her back. Her hair was not only smooth but also had a texture like silver crystal. She had slightly pale skin and clear, bright purple eyes.

Di Tian then explained to Gu Yuena what had happened outside and the origin of the egg in Bi Ji's arms.

"Bridget, bring that egg over here so I can take a look," Gu Yuena said seriously.

"Yes, my lord." Brigitte carefully handed the egg in her arms to Gu Yuena.

Di Tian was worried that the egg might harm the Dao Lord, but the next second the egg landed in Gu Yuena's arms without any problems, and Di Tian's heart, which had been in his throat, immediately sank.

At this moment, the egg in Gu Yuena's arms shone brightly, and a phantom projection appeared from inside the egg, revealing a beautiful woman in front of the three.

"Silver Dragon King, when you see this projection, I believe that I have already perished along with the Dragon God. The egg in front of you is my son, Ye Li, who possesses the complete power of my bloodline."

"His appearance is enough to reverse the current situation of the soul beast race, but he needs time to grow. I don't have much cultivation left. As payment, I will help you heal your injuries. After you recover, please take good care of my child. If all else fails..."

Di Tian and the others couldn't hear what came next, but Gu Yuena, who was directly involved, blushed deeply when she heard the Phoenix God's last words.

After giving some instructions, the Phoenix God swept an energy wave over Gu Yuena's body. The injuries left by the Asura God were immediately annihilated by the power of Nirvana. Gu Yuena's cultivation also experienced a qualitative leap, steadily remaining at the half-step God King realm. The rule that soul beasts cannot become gods was meaningless to the Phoenix God, but she could only make an exception once.

Gu Yuena looked at the phoenix egg in her arms and said softly, "Biji, protect him before he is born."

Di Tian asked urgently, "My lord, what is your cultivation level?"

Gu Yuena waved her hand, interrupting Di Tian's words, "I have endured for so many years, there is no need to rush. Call me when he is born. Go down."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Biji and Ditian returned to the surface through the lake, Biji took on the task of caring for the phoenix eggs. After all, no one but her and her lord could get close to them, and Ditian didn't even dare to think about letting his lord take care of them...
