1 A Phoenix Journey

You may think that being the strongest creature who was only behind the real God, the owner of the universe is great.

Yes. It is.

You have great influences. A sneeze from you could decide the fate of other fake gods.

You have a big amount of treasures. I even had to bury my used treasures in countless planets so I could move in my own home. My weapon was even crafted by the real God himself.

You have immortality. I don't even remember how old I am. Only the Real God told me that yesterday was my 1.220.365th birthday.

You have heroic achievements. I have lost count the number of awards I received. I couldn't even count the number devil that I had slain. I am the number 2 or 3 in the number of devils slain when an invasion happened. Only behind the mysterious master and competing for the 2nd place position with that stupid Dragon.

You have many talents. I only remember I have total mastery of Inscription, Formation, Alchemist, Blacksmith, Talisman Maker, Chef, Botanist, Hunter, Breeder, Beast Tamer, and many more. I always take a new profession after 100 years. I couldn't bother to mention them one by one. Everything is at 10 stars the highest possible ability one could achieve. I am a genius. Everyone admits that perhaps except that stupid dragon.

You have powerful abilities. I am the God of Fire in my universe. That is one of the major elements in the world. I always strive to be the very best. I couldn't count the time, I scoured the world for new martial arts.

You have a very big harem. I even forget who I slept with yesterday.

However, I don't like the last. I am a Phoenix. It is in my blood to stay faithful to my partner.

Sigh...

I will tell my sad story.

I was a young chick born from a Red Luan and a Purple Luan. Both my parents had a phoenix bloodline. We lived in a small forest on a small planet in the mortal realm. My name was Xiao Huang, a Mixed Luan.

Live wasn't always great. My father died protecting his territory to a powerful White Tiger. My mother took me and we ran away to my mother's homeforest. I grew in that forest becoming little king in that forest. I found that I was a genius bird on the day of awakening. The time when a young chick became a proper bird.

I managed to access the highest mystery on my gene. I got numerous knowledges of phoenix. I practiced the best cultivation technique for a phoenix's descendant. I also loved to fight to increase my power. It wasn't strange that I soon reached Perfect Heaven Tier the highest a mortal could become after I ate countless natural treasures and other demon beasts.

I become the youngest bird in the history to reach that Tier. I was a demon beast legend. During my tribulation, I even managed to refine my bloodline. I managed to mutate into a Black Phoenix. Before I left the realm, I didn't forget to defeat that White Tiger therefore paying my father a tribute.

That was the saddest time in my life. I separated from my mother for the first time. That was also the last time, I saw my mother and my maternal grandparents.

I arrived in a higher realm and changed my name to Hei Huang. The realm was called Middle Mortal Realm. Once again, I reached the pinnacle. I got one of the universe wonder treasures. The wonder was a fire, the Divine Tribulation Fire. With the fire, I managed to become the number 1 creature on the realm. I ascended once more.

I arrived in another realm. The realm was called Higher Mortal Realm. There was nothing I did except to eat and to grow. I managed to find a powerful natural treasure and protected it for another 2.000 years before I ate it. This gave me a powerful boost. I once again reached the peak. Live was easy. I managed to change my bloodline into a Phoenix during the tribulation. At this time, I learned about this mutation. It was a very small chance for a demon beast. I was lucky, I experienced it 2 times.

I arrived in a Lower Immortal Realm. I was called Feng Huang at this time. Since I became an immortal demon beast, I had an unlimited lifespan. So, I didn't plan to face too many dangers, I decided to become more low profile. I found some hidden treasures and protected it for God-knew-long. I ate the treasure when it matured. I repeated this step multiple times. Finally, I managed to reach the peak again.

I didn't manage to mutate during this ascension. However, I arrived in a dangerous Middle Immortal Realm. It was a war territory however, it wasn't easy to defeat me. I led a powerful demon beast army and destroyed many human territories. I was the hero of the demon beast. My title was the Hell Phoenix. I would give hell to my opponents.

Countless fighting brought me numerous benefits. I managed to reach the peak of the realm. It was another tribulation after 10.000 years of endless conquers. It was a record for Middle Immortal Realm. I managed to surpass the tribulation and mutated again. I became a Nirvana Phoenix. I still used Feng Huang as my name. I believed it was a name that suited a hero like me.

Life in Higher Immortal Realm was harder. I led another demon beast community and attacked many human territories. However, I made a little mistake and I was captured by a powerful cultivator. I became his contracted beast. This was a humiliation, but I wanted to keep my life. I served him for another 10.000 years before he was defeated by an even more powerful warrior. I ran away at that time. Free from the contract, I hid in a deep abyss. I managed to reach the pinnacle in another 10.000 years. That was thanks to the number of treasures I took from my previous contractor's sect. I considered those as the payment for my 10.000 years of service.

Finally, I reached Divine Realm. Lower Divine Realm was for weak cultivators and demon beasts. I participated in numerous Human vs Beast war. My Hell Phoenix title was once again shaking the realm. I managed to win the chance to go into the higher realm. The tribulation was passed successfully, I managed to mutate again. I became a Heavenly Flame Phoenix. It was one of the purest Phoenix in the universe based on the memory on my Phoenix gene.

I arrived at Middle Divine Realm. This was the happiest part of my life. In this realm, you could visit various lower realms. I finally realized that there were many realms in the universe. There were 9 tiers and I was at the 8th tier, the Middle Divine Realm. My universe was based on the nine heavens. Each tier further divided into many smaller realms. So far, I have only visited 8 small realms. I realized how small my world used to be.

In Middle Divine Realm, we had to compete to fill a God Position. There were Minor, Major, and Great God. As a middle divine realm citizen, we could only fill the Minor and Major title. I started by becoming a Minor God, a Fire Phoenix God. It was a very small title. However, I worked very hard. I built many planets and gathered my believers. All my planets were paradise for birds. Those were spread around the universes. I loved to visit various realms and learned something from every visit.

I managed to move my position higher. I defeated a Major God, a Flame Sparrow. I became a Fire Bird God, it was a Major God position. At this time, I diligently built my power. I managed to build countless planets. I was a legend in the Middle Divine Realm. 32.158 planets, that was my final result before I ascended. I became one of the most powerful Gods in the Middle Divine Realm.

Then it was another competition to become a Great God. I used my entire power and supported by my entire allies. I managed to beat an elf cultivator and got the chance to ascend to a higher realm, the last realm.

It was the highlight of my life. During my ascension, I managed to become a Demon. Finally, that was the peak of a demon beast. As a Phoenix, I almost couldn't dream to become a demon. It was hard for us. Yet, I managed to become one. Finally, I could start to cultivate like those cultivators and used the power from my demon beast bloodline at the same time.

I became a God of Birds. However, I needed to stay low profile in the beginning. There were many more powerful Great Gods. I decided to practice harder and learned more and more laws. I also built more planets to get those faith energies. It was very amazing. Other Gods said that using faith energy similar to having an orgasm. I didn't know that since I was a single fighter since I was a mortal. However, the feeling of using those Faith Energy was great.

I traveled around the universe and learned many martial arts and cultivation techniques. This time, I understood, cultivation was hard. I was lucky born as a demon beast. However, cultivation allowed you to become more powerful. I took 20.000 years to visit various planets and various realms. I needed to practice cultivation from the scratch.

One day, I finally had a lot of confidence in my power. One of the most powerful Great Gods was the Fire God. The God was a very powerful human cultivator. I challenged him to the title since my mastery of Fire Law was the best. After a difficult battle, I managed to win from him. At that time, I became one of the most powerful creatures in the entire universe. Then I met even more reclusive powerful creatures. One of them was the stupid dragon.

He was also a demon. He was a Heaven Piercing Jade Dragon Demon. The bloodline was also one of the powerful dragons. He was very powerful. The stupid dragon managed to defeat me 30 times out of 30 fights. Yes, I lost those battles. 0:30 was our score.

Finally, after some heavy drinking, he said the reason why I could never beat him. He wasn't a Great God like me. He was an Arch God. It was the highest being in the entire universe behind the real owner of the universe. This was a shocking revelation for me. I didn't know there were some hidden powers in this universe. I thought I was one of the peak creatures, but there was an even higher sky.

I practiced even harder until I heard a competition to become an Arch God opened. It was a rare event. No other Gods remembered the last time it happened. That stupid dragon was the winner of the first competition and became an Arch God.

I also joined the competition. It was easy for me. I have prepared for the battle. I was the winner of the competition. The competition was a mission to find 10 universe secret treasures. With the numerous powers under my hand, I managed to scour the entire universe the fastest. I got 8 of 10 at the beginning of the competition. The last 2, I got after I defeated the other competitors. It wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter.

The stupid dragon took me as the winner to the real owner. He said the owner was the Real God. The only actual God in the universe, we all only borrowed a tiny bit of his power. At this time, I learned the name of our universe. It was Altalunne Runebender. I thought it was strange. I couldn't imagine the God who named his or her universe with that name.

I was taken to a magnificent palace. It was hidden in the Higher Divine Realm forbidden zone. A strange planet that looked like a human female. The stupid dragon told that the God lived in the palace in the two big round balls.

I still remembered the first time, I saw the palace. It was very busy. Numerous people came and reported so many reports. The dragon said that the queen had various businesses in our universe and their origin universe.

I was taken to the audience chamber. It was a large magnificent chamber. However, the God was not in the palace. An assistant said that He was looking for some Golden Elves in his origin universe. We waited 2 years for him. I used the chance to cultivate in the place. It contained more spiritual energy than any other place in the universe. It was a total paradise for cultivators. The biggest problem with this universe was the ever-changing rules of the cultivation. The stupid dragon said that the God loved to change the rule.

I have to admit the God was genius to think this many different rules. Sometimes you needed to absorb from a pill. Sometimes you needed to cultivate a technique. Sometimes else you needed to make a contract with a demon beast. There were various rules which I couldn't imagine. He changed them every 1.000-10.000 years. I felt lucky that I was a demon beast. Demon Beast only needed to eat and protect a spiritual treasure to grow stronger.

2 years later the God returned. He failed to find a golden elf and he was in a bad mood.

He was a young person that I couldn't imagine that he was a God. He was similar to a common noble human cultivator. He was very handsome. Really beautifully handsome! It was my luck that I wasn't a female or I would be his eternal fans. A black hair like the night sky, beautiful eyes which contained stars, a sharp nose and jaw were complementing his beauty. He was truly a young ruler of the universe.

I couldn't forget that meeting. I still remember his first words to me.

"F*CK! A male phoenix? I haven't made a dragon rendang and now I have to make a Phoenix rendang."

At that time, the universe was shacking. Numerous elemental tribulations could be seen in the entire 9 realms. I didn't know what I did wrong, but it seemed to be a male phoenix was a big mistake.
