Red Everflame

The stupid dragon consoled me. He said that the God said the same thing to him. So, he told me that if I didn't want to become a Phoenix Rendang. I needed to do the same thing that the dragon had done. We were told to contribute to the universe. If we were successful I was told I could become an in-law to the God himself.

Of course, I was ready and wanted to protect this universe. It wasn't because of the chance to become an in-law to the God himself. I was born in this universe. My friends all lived here. The souls of my ancestors also lived here. I also had heard about the legend of the devil. I wanted to fight those powerful devils, who threatened our universe. With my desired to contribute, I was accepted to become the 6th Arch God of my universe. The God gave me a new name, Red Everflame. I loved the name.

My first fight as an Arch God, I finally managed to defeat that Stupid Dragon. The power of an Arch God was different from a Great God. It was far more powerful. I could access the pure Core Energy and used even more power than I ever imagined.

I still remembered the second day I became an Arch God. I finally got the holy mission. I promised the God that I would do it without error. I wanted to prove that it was a correct decision to make me an Arch God.

I was transferred to a palace on that planet. It was beautiful but also deserted. The Stupid Dragon decided to introduce me to the mission. I thought that he was there to supervise me. I would show him that I could.

I entered the palace. I believed it was a dangerous dungeon. I had cleared many dungeons after I became a cultivator. Those wasn't hard. I took my trusted weapon. It was a flaming sword made from my Divine Tribulation Fire. It was part of my soul and my body.

The stupid dragon was confused. He said I shouldn't use that sword but another sword. He gave me a pill that he said would be useful for my fight. I believed him and I ate the pill. It made me hot. I thought I needed to fight an ice element opponent.

The Dragon took me to a room and said the opponent was behind the door. He wished me success and gave a thumb up.

I feared nothing, I would succeed.

However, that was the first nightmare for me.

I...

I...

I...

Sigh...

I managed to defeat the opponent. The opponent was an ice element as expected. The pill given by the Dragon was very useful. After my victory, a maid would come and take my opponent to another room. Another opponent would come to the room. 100 fights in a row, I managed to win all in a night.

Yet, I wanted to quit. I even went outside the room the first time I saw my first opponent. However, the dragon reminded me of my promise. I had promised to do the mission without error. I would succeed in the mission. This was an important thing for the God.

I finally realized the mission. Becoming an in-law didn't mean that I would become a son-in-law of the God. However, I could become his father-in-law, grandfather-in-law, or even higher position. My opponents were some high-ranking female birds with Phoenix bloodline. They all had agreed to participate in the mission. In return, they could live in this peaceful and magnificent paradise. They wouldn't need to care about demon beast and cultivator war. This was the best life a creature could dream in this chaotic universe.

Also, who would reject me? A female demon beast always interested to an alpha beast. It was in our gene. We always wanted to bring more powerful next generation demon beasts to survive the world. Who could be more alpha than a demon who was also an Arch God?

Yes. The God made those birds my harem members.

Didn't The God know all phoenixes were a faithful being? It was coded on their bloodline.

It was easy for those female birds. They could stay faithful. They only had me. This mission made me had a huge harem. I had 12.256.368 wives. This number was even increased by the day.

I was a disgrace of a Phoenix. I couldn't remember the first 200 birds that stayed with me. I also had already become a demon. I only wanted a demon wife and life happily after. Yet, I was forced to live in a harem live with some demon beasts. Imagine a human needed to marry a harem full of Pithecanthropus!

I had planned to escape one day. However, I was reminded that it was a holy mission. This was an utmost importance of the universe. I had my promise and I always fulfilled every promise that I made. I removed the escape plan into the back of the universe.

On the other side, the stupid dragon enjoyed the lifestyle. He was also on the same mission as me. Even a mighty dragon like he wouldn't reject a pig. He said his children with the pig would become the strongest pigs ever, draconic piglets. He was so proud of each his children. That guy enjoyed the harem lifestyle. He even worked overtime to complete the mission.

That stupid dragon became my best rival and friend. I would never be defeated by that dragon. I was a fighter and a winner. We always competed in every category possible. Cooking, Singing, Pill Concocting, Talisman Making, Treasure Collecting, and many more. Because of this, I had masteries in various professions. We also competed to become the strongest fighter. I managed to make our score 41:40 after a long struggle.

The only competition that I lost to him was the harem number. He had double of mine. However, I still had more chicks than his whelps. I didn't know whether I could be proud of or not for this achievement. That dragon often spent his time to overwork and neglected his harem. This made him always got harassed by the God. The God threatened the Dragon to become a rendang after he returned from his overwork.

I wasn't as stupid as that dragon. I worked hard in my mission and the God always praised me. The God even said that Master Creator, a celestial being which was the most powerful creature in the entire universes, said that I was the number 1 Phoenix in the entire universes in the term of chicks. I would take that as a something that I could be proud of. There were some even older Phoenixes in other universes, but I was the number 1.

I also participated in killing some devils. We have an attack one day. However, those devils weren't as scary as the story. They were very weak. The Dragon said it was because the God loved to change the rules. So those devils also needed to renew their cultivation after a certain period. They often went back to become mortals, most would die, only geniuses could survive. The devil never managed to pass the Immortal Realm barrier. Their highest combatant was a genius devil. Even then, he was only in the Middle Immortal Realm. I couldn't count the devils that I killed with a slap of my hand.

I managed to protect the universe at least. This was something very meaningful to me. Don't you see me, Mother? You could be proud of your son, Red Everflame. I was the fire which protected the universe, I was also the important piece of the Holy Mission.
