Chapter: Chapter 515
Although it was vocal, it was difficult for the giant bird to break free from Leticia’s restraint and stop the Fenghuang. She was a newly born deity, possessing just over half of her original spiritual strength. It was truly a difficult task for her to contend with Leticia, who was a spiritual entity, in the spiritual world.
To make matters worse, the other master of this world stood on Leticia’s side, granting her permission to remain in this world, allowing Leticia to beat up the giant bird in various ways.
If that traitor hadn’t granted Leticia access, the giant bird might still not have been able to defeat Leticia, but she could at least have thrown a tantrum and kicked Leticia out of there.
Instead of now, unable to fight or escape, she could only be pinned to the ground, watching the Fenghuang, identical to herself in the sky, devour the golden energy bit by bit.
As the golden energy was gradually absorbed, the Fenghuang in the sky gained more and more power. Her spiritual strength was now on par with the giant bird, who was being suppressed by Leticia.
After absorbing most of the energy in the sky, the Fenghuang gracefully descended. Her massive body dissolved into golden light, and a petite girl appeared in Leticia’s view.
With golden long hair, clear red eyes, and wearing a golden long dress that seemed to be made of wings, her calves beneath the skirt were clad in a pair of translucent white stockings. Apart from the faint divine aura emanating from her, she bore a striking resemblance to the Fenghuang that Leticia remembered.
“What is this appearance of yours! It’s shameful, you’ve completely disgraced our honor!” The giant bird was even more enraged upon seeing the Fenghuang in this state.
To become like this, to abandon such a beautiful and noble body and transform into this! This is the form of lower beings!
“No matter how shameful I am, you are more shameful! You’ve become so engrossed in a memory that you don’t even know who you are. If not you, then who is shameful!” The Fenghuang glared with her red eyes and shouted at the giant bird.
With strength in hand and Sister Leticia helping her suppress this guy, the Fenghuang was no longer afraid.
If you have the ability, break free from your restraints and come fight me!
“I am the Phoenix! It’s you who refuses to accept this fact! I am the reincarnation of the great and invincible Phoenix!”
“Nonsense, I know who you are. You’re just a big idiot. Think about it carefully, you actually hated the Phoenix, didn’t you? Why do you think you are her and have to accept her karmic debts after getting her memories?”
“I won’t listen! I won’t listen!”
Listening to the childlike bickering of these two (birds), Leticia felt a headache. What should she do?
According to her original plan, at this moment, she should have punched the giant bird, who was contaminated by the Phoenix’s memories, and made the Fenghuang the sole consciousness here.
However, she couldn’t predict the impact this would have on the Fenghuang. This would be equivalent to destroying half of the Phoenix deity’s spirit. If she survived, it would be due to her exceptional talent.
Moreover, judging by the current interaction between these two little ones, the foolish bird wasn’t beyond saving.
If all else fails, she could just make her mentally split…
Tightening the rope around the giant bird’s neck, Leticia cleared her throat, reached into the air, and drew a knife, holding it to the giant bird’s throat. “Are you the Phoenix or not?”
“I am the Phoenix! I won’t lie even if you put a knife to my neck! If you have the guts, kill me! If I die, that guy can’t live either!” The giant bird was not afraid at all, but instead taunted Leticia. “Let me go, I want to have a decisive battle with this coward!”
“Tsk, this is troublesome.” Leticia scratched her head. She really didn’t dare to gamble now. If she lost the gamble, the Fenghuang would have to be buried with the foolish bird, which would undoubtedly be a failure for Leticia.
What about letting the Fenghuang battle the giant bird? Setting aside whether the Fenghuang could defeat the giant bird, even if she did, would the Fenghuang truly not have a mental breakdown after accepting so many of the Phoenix’s memories?
Then what about continuing this stalemate like now?
It was certainly possible. If she could keep the giant bird restrained here, then both birds could live in peace. The problem was that she couldn’t stay here forever.
She couldn’t stay here for a lifetime, acting as a nanny to prevent these two foolish girls from fighting.
It was impossible.
“Why can’t you two coexist peacefully?”
“What nonsense are you talking about! I am a true deity, how can I tolerate other consciousnesses existing within my body.” The giant bird snorted, expressing contempt for Leticia’s words, showing no awareness of being a captive.
The Fenghuang nodded in agreement. Looking at the giant bird being suppressed by Leticia, she said softly, “Even if I am willing to coexist peacefully with her, she will not be happy. She will only feel that this is an insult to herself.”
“Hmph! Exactly!”
“Isn’t it nice to have a sister you can talk to and share a body with? Why are you so resistant?” Leticia was quite troubled by the giant bird’s stubbornness. She couldn’t kill her, nor could she release her, which was really difficult.
Moreover, even if the bird agreed to Leticia’s proposal, saying she was willing to coexist peacefully and share the body with the Fenghuang, could Leticia truly be at ease?
After all, this was a Phoenix deity!
A true, powerful deity!
If she feigned compliance with Leticia and broke her oath after Leticia left, what could Leticia do?
Leticia had no means to restrain this guy.
Was there any way to eliminate this guy’s destructive power, so that even if she lost control, she wouldn’t cause harm to this world?
Seal her power? But how to seal it?
She had no idea…
“Seize her authority, and she will just be an ordinary giant beast, easily suppressed by your strength,” a somewhat ethereal voice echoed in Leticia’s mind.
Disregarding how the voice appeared, Leticia shook her head and rejected the plan. “I can’t even control two authorities, and now adding the Phoenix authority will definitely cause problems.”
Leticia understood the principle of not biting off more than one can chew. She hadn’t even fully mastered the Dragon God’s authority, and she probably wouldn’t be able to fully master it later. Obtaining the Phoenix authority would be useless to her.
“Then seal her. I have several methods. Choose any one you like, how about it?”
Some knowledge appeared in Leticia’s mind, all of which were methods to seal the abilities of a deity.
Oh, these methods seem quite practical! Leticia blinked in surprise and then finally realized something was wrong.
That’s not right. Should I know about these things? And what was that voice just now? That wasn’t my voice either!
“Well, are you satisfied?” The voice seemed unaware that Leticia had noticed something was wrong and continued to inquire about Leticia’s thoughts with interest.
“Let’s put the sealing matter aside for now. Who are you, and why can you speak to me in my mind?” Leticia had some trauma regarding such matters, as that crystal lotus from before also possessed this ability.
She was a dream deity of the spiritual type! The fact that this voice could resound in her mind like this, and that she hadn’t even noticed anything was wrong at first, was truly terrifying!
Moreover, judging by the tone of the voice, she didn’t seem serious at all. If she were truly trying to conceal something from Leticia, Leticia didn’t think she would have noticed something was wrong within a few sentences.
“Who I am is not important, what’s important is that I’ve provided you with these methods. Which one do you want to choose?”
“If you’re talking about sealing her into a divine artifact, I don’t want to do that,” Leticia replied in her mind, shaking her head.
The several methods that appeared in her mind were all ways to seal deities into divine artifacts, and she even thoughtfully informed Leticia that the materials were ready, and as soon as Leticia gave the order, this newborn Phoenix could be confined within a divine artifact.
“She is your enemy. You are not a kind person, are you?”
Kind? Leticia was certainly not a kind person, but this Phoenix didn’t just contain her enemy; it also contained her little sister.
She truly couldn’t bear to have the Fenghuang sealed in a divine artifact forever.
Even if there was a chance to break the divine artifact’s seal and free the Fenghuang, that was a very distant possibility. Hadn’t any deity sealed in a divine artifact in this world ever successfully escaped?
“Who are you to tell me these methods?” Leticia truly couldn’t imagine who she was conversing with, possessing such methods.
“If you want to know, then so be it.”
Leticia’s vision suddenly turned black. When her vision brightened again, everything around her had changed.
She found herself in a small room. Although the room was small, it was well-appointed, with exquisite furniture arranged neatly. A fresh and elegant scent filled the room, bringing a sense of peace.
Specks of light converged in front of Leticia, and a woman appeared in her sight.
What is this?!
A mass of complex information flooded Leticia’s mind, causing her to quickly close her eyes, afraid to look directly at this being.
It was too terrifying. This woman was definitely the most terrifying person Leticia had ever met. Leticia couldn’t even see her appearance clearly!
“Are you a deity?” Leticia asked sincerely.
“A deity? I’m not considered a deity, just a passing traveler.” The woman shook her head and walked up to Leticia, gently pressing her hands on Leticia’s eyes. “Don’t be afraid, I mean no harm.”
Yes, if you meant harm, I would have been obliterated the moment I saw you, right?
A cool sensation flowed over Leticia’s eyes. Instinctively, Leticia opened her eyes and saw the woman holding her face.
She was beautiful, indescribably beautiful. Her starry eyes seemed to contain all the secrets of the world, and her face was of a rule-level beauty.
Leticia couldn’t describe the woman’s appearance. If she had to describe her, she could only use the word “divine.”
A true divine being!
“You are an anomaly, an anomaly that can change this world,” the woman said to Leticia. “You are different from those deities. In you, I see potential.”
“Potential?”
“The potential for this world to continue to exist,” the woman replied softly. She took Leticia’s hand and lightly tapped her hand four times.
Four runes of different shapes lit up on Leticia’s hand. Leticia looked at the woman curiously, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
What is she trying to do?
“Go and collect the prophecy books. Collect the four prophecy books I once wrote. When you have gathered all four prophecy books, I will tell you the truth of this world.”
“I’ve already left the method to calm that little bird in your mind, and I’ve prepared a new body for you too.”
“You should go back. Don’t disappoint me.”
A body has already been prepared?!
“Why are you being so good to me?” Leticia couldn’t help but ask. She had never met this woman before, so why was she being so good to her?
The woman gave a meaningful smile. “Because you are hope.”
After saying that, she gently tapped Leticia’s forehead.
With a stunned expression, Leticia’s figure transformed into specks of light and disappeared from the room.
Watching Leticia leave, the woman shifted her gaze to the large bed in the center of the room. Leticia had subconsciously ignored one thing: a woman was lying on the large bed.
“Even I am finding it hard to suppress the world’s collapse,” the woman said, looking at the woman on the bed who was identical to her. The somewhat ethereal figure sighed softly. “I hope everything is not too late. These children should do better than they have in the past.”
“The seal… it’s also about time to be unsealed. To bring this ailing world back on track, the power of deities is also essential.”
Her figure slowly faded. As her voice fell, the ocean of energy outside the wooden house began to surge. Streams of mysterious energy emerged from the ocean and descended towards the world on the verge of collapse.
This world was indeed in a critical condition. If it weren’t for an unknown force forcefully holding onto this world, it would have probably already vanished into the river of time.
The leaves of this World Tree had already turned yellow.
