Fu Xi raised his hand, gathering up the scarlet flames that had scattered around them.
"You... you..."
Leng Yaozhu, still holding Gu Sanna, hesitantly murmured.
"I was already holding back. I don't care about them."
Fu Xi replied softly, then reached out and took the red-faced Gu Sanna back into his arms.
"Are you the Phoenix God-King?"
Gu Sanna asked in a soft, timid voice. Remembering what had happened earlier, she curled her toes together in embarrassment.
"Does it matter?"
Fu Xi shrugged and looked at Leng Yaozhu. "But what about you? Are you going to help the Plane Master oppose me?"
"I... Before that, could you explain in detail what just happened?"
Leng Yaozhu felt rather helpless. From her perspective, she had somehow joined a bizarre group chat, and then its members had suddenly appeared in her world, beaten up the master of her plane, and even declared their intention to oppose Tang San.
"It's hard to explain. Just ask in the group chat."
Fu Xi shook his head, sensing the direction in which Tang Hao had fled.
After that, Fu Xi quickly checked in again.
[Congratulations! You have received a check-in reward: World Tree Seed!] World Tree Seed: Plant it in a world, and it will grow into that world's World Tree. As an administrator, you may freely consult the knowledge within the World Tree and alter history. But be warned: the unchosen hatred will also quietly emerge after you plant the seed. (This World Tree can connect to the Heavenly Principles Core you once possessed.) [Fu Xi: @Ye Suyi, I got another World Tree Seed from checking in. Then I slashed Tang San's father, and I'm planning to follow him and strip away every last one of his trump cards.] [Xiao Xiao: I can't wait for the next Soul Master tournament!] [Ye Suyi: Just as I expected. Judging by Tang Hao's reaction, he probably plans to have other people wear you down.] [Ye Suyi: My guess is that the Tang Sect, Shrek, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Sea God Family might all show up.] [Ye Suyi: Oh, right. And two Soul Beast traitors.] [Ye Suyi: They're all just jumping clowns. Besides, your Soul Power is endless.] [Ye Suyi: If you're sure Gu Yuena is all right, get some rest tonight. Didn't you say you were already exhausted?] [Fu Xi: Mm-hmm. I just have one more thing to take care of.] [Leng Yaozhu: Um... can someone explain what just happened?]
"Um... Phoenix, let me up."
Gu Sanna poked Fu Xi in the chest. Once Fu Xi let go, she instantly returned to her original tall form.
"I may have been ambushed by one of the God Kings from the Divine Realm. The master of a single world couldn't have caught me off guard."
Gu Sanna did her best to save face.
Since Fu Xi had acted so quickly, she hadn't lost all her power.
"Heh."
"Let's head to Star Dou first. I'll free the Soul Beasts."
Fu Xi smiled. Gu Yuena looked pretty amusing like this.
"Also, Leng Yaozhu, right? I sensed the spiritual auras of countless Soul Beasts where I first met you. I want you to give them back to me."
Fu Xi turned toward Leng Yaozhu, who was absorbed in the group chat.
"Um... all right!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded obediently. Just the possibility that this person was the Phoenix Ancestor was enough to make her unwilling to refuse. And besides, Fu Xi really could flatten Douluo Star all by herself.
[Ye Suyi: @Fu Xi, plant your World Tree in the Douluo III World.] [Ye Suyi: I'm actually pretty curious to see what happens when the two Abyss powers collide.] [Ye Suyi: Haha, of course, the two Abysses are different.] [Ye Suyi: The Abyss in Douluo III was an outside enemy summoned by Tang San to help Douluo Star ascend.] [Ye Suyi: The Abyss brought by the World Tree, on the other hand, is the world's unchosen hatred.] [Ye Suyi: Through the ensuing battle, the defeated hatred will be transformed into nourishment for the world's ascension.] (Author's note: This is my own setting.) [Ye Suyi: Haha, when you put it like that, the two Abysses don't sound so different after all.] [Fu Xi: But what exactly is unchosen hatred?]
Fu Xi took Gu Yuena's hand and tore open a spatial rift leading to the Star Dou Great Forest. The three of them stepped through together.
Di Tian should have already learned of his existence. After all, before the fight, Fu Xi had shouted out in the group chat and cursed Di Tian.
[Ye Suyi: Unchosen hatred... The simplest way to understand it is as other possible timelines. Just think of them as characters who've turned evil.] [Ye Suyi: At that point, evil versions of Tang Wulin, Gu Yuena, Leng Yaozhu, and others might appear in the world. But at their core, they're still just hatred. Once we kill them, we can obtain resources to strengthen the world, and the world will give you some rewards too.] [Ye Suyi: Oh, and remember to cut off Tang Hao's connection with the plane consciousness, and Ah Yin's connection with the Golden Tree. Don't let them benefit from it.] [Fu Xi sent Ye Suyi an exclusive Red Packet.] [Fu Xi: This is giving me a headache. Come teach me later.]
After fighting again while exhausted, Fu Xi felt his head spinning.
(Actually, the author's the one with a headache. I'm writing four stories at once, sixteen thousand words a day.)
[Ye Suyi: Love you, my sweet Xi~] [Ye Guyi: Have you reached the Star Dou Great Forest yet? I'm planning to come with you to Douluo III and use the world's ascension to improve my strength.] [Ye Guyi: Didn't you say that defeating the World's Hatred would earn us rewards from the world?] [Ye Suyi: Heh~] [Ye Suyi: Just you wait, Ye Guyi! When you get here, I'll make you watch Fu Xi and me sleep together with your own eyes.] [Ye Guyi: My Holy Phoenix might be every bit as good as yours!] [Fu Xi: Enough!] [Fu Xi: You're both my wings.] [Qian Renxue: Little Black Xi is online.] [Fu Xi: Then you're Little White Snow.] [Qian Renxue: ...You'd better not be making a dirty joke.] [Fu Xi: Fu Xi doesn't know what Sister Snow is talking about~] [Ye Guyi: Sigh~ I don't even know what to say to you anymore. @Ye Guyi] [Ye Guyi: What would you know? Normal flirting between men and women helps keep a relationship warm.] [Bibi Dong: What about between women?] [Belle: Checkmate!] [Ye Suyi: @Belle, how dare you say that to me?] [Ye Suyi: With Fu Xi, I only run my mouth a little. But you actually...] [Ye Suyi: Image] [Ye Shunguang: (ﾟдﾟ)] [Ye Suyi: That's right. Even though she became your junior sister and the two of you were incredibly close, she still went and found a pink-haired girl.] [Belle: Slander! This is slander! I'm suing you for defamation!] [Ye Shunguang: ...I'm grateful to Belle for guiding me when I was little, but there's nothing like that between us.] [Ye Suyi: Image] [Ye Suyi: Image] [Ye Shunguang: (ﾟдﾟ)] [Belle: (ﾟдﾟ)] [Fu Xi: (◕‿◕)] [Fu Xi: Is this white-haired Shunguang the older sister of Senior Sister Shunguang?]
