2.6 Luminous City, The Temple of Light
On the way to Luminous City, I learned alot of things about the Temple of Light. The old man's name is Kai. He is the grand elder of the temple. He had been there since 400 years ago and had worked his way up to becoming one of the Bearers of Light that protects the Temple.
When we arrived at Luminous City, the gaurds seemed to have been on high alert as they already had been informed of the situation. The gaurd captain greeted them.
"Grand Elder Kai, Master Ivy, and... this is?"
Grand Elder Kai spoke up. "She is the current generation Luminous Dancer, BloodMoon."
The Gaurd captain looked at me again but his eyes were full of fanaticism. "It's an honor to meet you. My name is Quazi and I am the captain of the city gaurd. If you have any problems within our city, we will help you in any way we can."
"Alright, thank you." I nod at him and we procede to the temple of light where there is meeting being held.
When we arrived at the temple, there were people waiting for us in the hallway.
"Grand Elder Kai, all of the city lords and righteous faction leaders are here. We are only waiting for you." A middle aged woman led us down the hallway to the meeting room.
Upon us entering the room, everyone inside turned towards us. Grand Elder Kai led me to sit beside him while Master Ivy went somewhere else.
The Grand Elder then started the Meeting. "Earlier today, we detected a spike of dark energy inside of the fire wolf territory. This spike was caused by a long time enemy of our righteous faction... the Demons. The demon began to pour into our world though a portal." He then turned to me and said. "If not for this brave adventurer being there coincidentally, we would have war at our door steps right now. BloodMoon, can you tell us what happened exactly?"
"Yes." I stood up and scanned the room. "I was traveling to the flamelands to collect fire essence when I encounter a pack of injured Fire wolves. They recognized me by my Phoenix bloodline and by the power of light that radiated off of me and asked me to save their leader. After I saved thier leader, Mo Li, she wanted me to help her kill the man who nearly annihilated their entire tribe. When I arrive at the cave, they had imprisoned the Phoenix soul in this statue"
I took the statue and place it on the table in front of me. When I took it out, the Phoenix soul came out and said. "Yes, they wanted to use my powers to revive the Demon Lord. Thank you for saving me. My soul is currently weak right now from being in that dark energy so I don't have much longer left. Would you like to assimilate with my soul?"
Everyone was stunned. The Phoenix God soul! The Phoenix god was crucial to ending the war between gods and demons. Although its life was eventually lost, it was only after the war that it died to it injuries.
I was similarly stunned but I quickly calmed down. Lord Phoenix God noticed the ripples of emotions in everyones eyes and explained why he chose me. "You already have my blood running through your veins. I think that no one here would argue over who would get my soul. Besides, even if they did want it, they would turn into ashes and scatter into the wind without my blood." The Phoenix soul scanned the room an the room temperature got higher and everyone except me, my master and grand elder kai started sweating profusely. He then turned to me. "So, what do you say?"
Would you like to assimilate with the Phoenix God Soul? [Yes/No]
"Yes, it would be my honor."
My stream chat was bewildered but no one was more bewildered than the people of Rumbling Heaven who were watching my stream. Heaven Piercer was gnashing his teeth and glaring at his screen watching everything go down.
When he was getting ready to explode, he recieved a call. He picked up his phone and was about to decline the call but when he saw who called him, all of the rage in him dissapeared. He was like a deflated balloon.
"Yes, this is Ye Mingzi." He wanted to end rhis call as soon as possible.
"Do you know who Commander Belvins is?" The caller said this while holding in his built up fury.
"Who doesn't know who he is. He is our generations hero. He is one of my many role models in life and the reason I want to be in the military. Why are you asking me this." Ye Mingzi was confused.
The caller took a deep breath trying to control himself and said. "I heard you had some beef with BloodMoon?"
Ye Mingzi's eyes immediately turned red and he became filled with rage once again. "That bitch humiliated me on her fucking livestream. She even killed me inside that bar. After that, I sent 100 hundred of my guild's elites to take care of her only for them to be killed instantly. This humiliation is too much for me to endure so I called you to do me a favor. How is your pro-" Before he could continue, The guy on the other side of the phone immediately lost his cool and exploded. "YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. YOU WANTED ME TO FIND COMMANDER BELVINS DAUGHTER AND RAPE HER? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND? HAS YOUR BRAIN BEEN REPLACED WITH SHIT? IF YOU WANT TO DIE, THEN PLEASE GO TRIP AND FALL ON YOUR NECK BY YOURSELF. DON'T DRAG ME WITH YOU." He then ended the call and wiped the sweat off of his forehead and said to the servant beside him. "Tell Elder Ye that we are terminating out cooperation with the Ye family and this is effective immediately." He slumped down into his chair powerlessly as he remembered when recieved the information from his network and thanked god that he wasn't an idiot. He released a sigh of relief and began to eat his dinner.
While he was feeling like he had dropped the burden from his back, Ye Mingzi was feeling like he had just eaten shit. "Commander Belvins' daughter... BloodMoon is his daughter..." His eyes were wide as he suddenly became aware of the trouble he had caused this time.
Back inside the game, I had just accepted the soul of the Phoenix God and had just start the process. "Your body isn't strong enough to accommodate all of my soul at once so i can only slowly do this. You may feel that the energy inside of your body will drain at fast rate but once it drains, you will begin to feel it coming back and your physical body will undergo a tremendous change. You will also become capable of performing all of my various magic skills. Only then will you become a true Inheritor of my Phoenix bloodline."
I focused on assimilating the Phoenix God's soul while everyone continued the meeting. They would occasionally look at me and see that I was very pale and my body was on fire but for some reason, this flame was very gentle and didn't burn the room at all. Not even a smoke trail was produced. Ivy was very worried but she couldn't do anything but watched. After around the time the meeting ended, Grand Elder Kai looked at me and saw that I was still sitting with my eyes closed. He sighed and left the room. Right now, only my mentor and I were in the room. She stared at the flames that were waving wildly around me. While in deep thought...
After what felt like forever, The pain disappeared and the flames began to recede.
[You have completed you assimilation with the Soul of the Phoenix God. All stats have been increased by 25% and you have recieved the Phoenix God's skill set. All of your fire type attack damage has been doubled.]
Affer I finished assimilating with the Phoenix God's soul, I felt a powerful energy coursing through my body. I looked at my teacher and said, "I have completely assimilated with his soul. I need to head back to the Fire Wolf territory and talk to Mo Li. What are you gonna do?"
Ivy looked at me and said. "I am gonna need alot of wine so I am gonna stockpile it. You need to be ready to get called at anytime. The temple of light is gonna need you. Also, find thos friends of yours and help them get stronger."
I nodded and walked out of the temple. After I got out, I use wings of sylvan and flew towards the fire wolves territory. After 30 minutes of flying, I managed to make it to the cave. Mowu was waiting for me at the entrance. "Lord Phoenix Inheritor, my leader is waiting for you inside. I'll lead the way." I smile and nod then follow Mowu inside.
