Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 271 A Glance That Lasts a Lifetime

As Wang Xiaofei witnessed scene after scene unfold before his eyes, even amidst raging flames, he witnessed the beginning of a planet, its rise, the evolution of its species, and finally its decline and destruction.

As the saying goes, life is destroyed, and destruction is reborn.

At any time, destruction and rebirth seem to coexist, just like in the God Realm of Douluo Continent. The God King of Destruction and the God King of Life are a married couple. They may never be able to come into contact with each other, but there seems to be an infinite power attracting them together. They are one of the longest-lasting couples in the God Realm of Douluo Continent, and they are also representative figures of the God Realm of Douluo Continent.

All of this seems to represent the power of creation and the power of destruction.

When Wang Xiaofei opened his eyes again, he was no longer on the surface of the sun, but above it, or even inside it.

At this moment, the sun did not have that scorching power, nor even that destructive force; everything seemed more approachable.

Wang Xiaofei summoned his martial soul and spirit rings. At this moment, Wang Xiaofei's martial soul, the Fire Phoenix, seemed to have grown much larger than when he first arrived. If the Fire Phoenix was several thousand meters long when he was on Douluo Star, then the Fire Phoenix of Wang Xiaofei at this moment had increased in length by a hundred times, reaching hundreds of thousands of meters. Compared with the Fire Phoenix of the past, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

His spirit rings were even more extraordinary; he had fifteen golden spirit rings all over his body, even on his Qilin arm. This indicated that Wang Xiaofei had officially broken through to the God King realm, becoming a brand new God King.

Just then, a tremendous voice came from the sun, ancient and profound: "Humanity, you have finally awakened."

Wang Xiaofei looked around with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you the Phoenix God King?"

A tremendous voice rang out: "If you're referring to the Phoenix God King who once appeared on Douluo Star, then that's me."

Wang Xiaofei quickly bowed and said, "Phoenix God King, my name is Wang Xiaofei, and I come from Douluo Star. May I ask where you are now?"

The Phoenix God King spoke directly: "I'm right at your feet, and you're on my body."

Wang Xiaofei stared in astonishment at his feet. He wasn't on the ground under the sun, but on something intangible and intangible, seemingly the origin of all fire, and also the origin of both creative and destructive power.

Before Wang Xiaofei could say anything more, a tremor shook the ground beneath his feet, and a gigantic fire phoenix flapped its wings and took flight. This fire phoenix was enormous, hundreds of kilometers long and wide, and its power was like the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Upon closer inspection, Wang Xiaofei realized that he was actually perched on the head of the Phoenix God King, though his true form still appeared incredibly small.

Wang Xiaofei quickly asked, "Phoenix God King, may I ask why you stayed on the sun and why you left Douluo Star?"

The Phoenix God King spoke directly: "What good will it do me to stay on Douluo Star? The decline of the Soul Beast race is the will of Heaven. Although the Dragon God led the Soul Beast race to an unprecedented peak, he also sowed the seeds of disaster for the Soul Beast race. One day, the Soul Beast race will decline and even become extinct."

Wang Xiaofei quickly spoke up: "Sir, I don't think the Soul Beast race will decline, as long as humans and Soul Beasts coexist peacefully. After all, human Soul Masters are a minority."

The Phoenix God King sighed, "What peaceful coexistence is there? The gods created the Soul Ring cultivation system in Douluo Continent. Humans need to cultivate, so they need to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. The growth period of Soul Beasts is far shorter than that of humans. This endless slaughter has pushed humans and Soul Beasts to a permanent antagonism, and the hatred between them is irreconcilable."

Wang Xiaofei gritted his teeth: "What if we completely isolate Douluo Star from the God Realm? Then there would be no more Soul Ring cultivation system, and the situation where humans cannot cultivate without Soul Rings would no longer exist?"

"Your idea is very good, but in the process of human cultivation, we obtain a great deal of power from the spirit rings. If we give up this power, human cultivation will become very slow, which will lead to the decline of humanity."

Wang Xiaofei gritted his teeth: "In my eyes, everyone's cultivation depends on themselves. Only by becoming stronger can one become stronger. Relying on external forces or spirit rings does not make one a true strongman. Moreover, the spirit ring cultivation system has great drawbacks. After humans obtain spirit rings, the spirit rings contain the souls of spirit beasts, which makes humans no longer pure and even lose their original nature."

The Phoenix God King continued, "Although you understand all of this, and you could even say that you now possess sufficient strength, the power of the God Realm is beyond your imagination. You can only currently rival the God Kings, but you cannot defeat the five God Kings of the God Realm, much less the Three Realms Judgment Sword at the core of the God Realm."

Wang Xiaofei shook his head: "I don't need to defeat them. I just need to separate the God Realm from Douluo Star. Douluo Star will grow and cultivate on its own, and the God Realm will also need to rely on itself."

"Moreover, with your strength, Phoenix God King, the gods of the God Realm are definitely no match for you."

The Phoenix God King shook his enormous head: "Although my strength can rival that of the Dragon God, I am, after all, a Soul Beast. The fortune of this world always belongs to the human race, not to my Soul Beast race. This is the great way of heaven and earth. If I go against the great way of heaven and earth, I will probably end up like the Dragon God."

"The Dragon God actually had the power to destroy the God Realm, and even Douluo Star, but he didn't choose that path. Instead, he wanted to leave a sliver of hope and bloodline for the Soul Beast race. This is because the Dragon God has mastered the power of time and can see the future of the Soul Beast race."

Wang Xiaofei thought for a moment before speaking, "Phoenix God King, why are you helping me? I'm also human. Aren't you afraid I'll destroy the Soul Beast race?"

The Phoenix God-King seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking: "You are a variable, you may be the common hope of both the human race and the soul beast race. Go, do what you want to do. Here, you have already mastered the power you desire, the power of creation and the power of destruction, otherwise you would not have been able to break through to the God-King realm."

Wang Xiaofei finally spoke: "Phoenix God King, may I ask how I came to Douluo Star? Others may not know, but you should know, after all, this is the source of all life on Douluo Star."

The Phoenix God King thought for a moment before speaking: "The power of creation and the power of destruction are among the strongest forces in the world. When these two forces work together, incredible things will be born. This is how you came to Douluo Star. Perhaps this is a miracle of life, and also a rebirth from destruction."

"You will represent infinite possibilities, and the continuation of life."

Wang Xiaofei thought carefully, bowed to the Phoenix God King, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but ask, "Phoenix God King, how long have I been here?"

The Phoenix God-King slowly opened his enormous eyes: "A single glance lasts a thousand years!"

After saying that, it closed its eyes again, as if nothing had happened.
