Chapter 981 The Legacy of the Phoenix God?

Chapter 981 The Legacy of the Phoenix God?

"A gift?" Ma Xiaotao blinked, looking at the Phoenix God in front of her, and suddenly felt a warmth from her bloodline.

The lineage of the Evil Phoenix continues its legacy.

"Yes, I think you'll like this gift," the Phoenix God said with a slight smile.

"Ancestor, what you gave me, could it be your inheritance?" Ma Xiaotao asked after a slight hesitation.

The Phoenix God noticed Ma Xiaotao's hesitation, but he didn't understand why she hesitated.

He had given her the divine position of the Phoenix God, and Ma Xiaotao was his bloodline descendant. Basically, as long as Ma Xiaotao didn't make any major mistakes, she was guaranteed to hold the position of the Phoenix God.

"Yes, child, you are very clever. The gift I want to give you is the inheritance of the Phoenix God's divine position," said the Phoenix God.

"But child, I noticed you hesitated just now. Can you tell me why?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao gave an apologetic smile. "Excuse me, Ancestor, may I ask, the Phoenix God's divine position is a second-level god, right?"

The Phoenix God widened his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised that Ma Xiaotao actually knew that the Phoenix God was a second-level god in the God Realm.

However, he didn't think much of it and slowly nodded in response to Ma Xiaotao's question.

"Yes, the Phoenix God is a second-level deity in the divine realm. He governs the southern volcanoes, commands all birds, and controls all beast fire and flames. Although his functions overlap with those of the Fire God, his control over flames is not as good as the Fire God's." The Phoenix God did not try to play tricks or deceive, but explained the functions of the Phoenix God in their entirety.

After all, they were his own bloodline and descendants, and a feeling of love arose in his heart for his descendants.

This makes him look exactly like the statue in Shrek Square, but his words and actions resemble those of a very old man.

"So, a second-level deity in the God Realm can't bring others up to the God Realm, right?" Ma Xiaotao asked with some regret.

"Yes, child, a second-level deity is not qualified to lead others to the divine realm!" The Phoenix God lowered his eyes, concealing the boundless regret, sorrow, and resentment in his heart.

"Child, I think I understand your concerns. You want to ascend to the realm of gods with your loved one, right?"

Ma Xiaotao nodded, feeling somewhat confused. Should she accept the inheritance from her ancestors?

I accepted it. According to the meaning of the ancestor's words, I should eventually be able to successfully become the Phoenix God.

But if that were the case, Xiaoxiaozi and Nannan would have to stay on the mainland, separated from their loved ones by the heavens.

According to Xiaoxiaozi's interpretation of Shrek's history, one day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year on Earth. Even if he descends to the mortal realm every day, he cannot overcome the regrets brought about by the different flow of time.

If you don't accept it, the ultimate goal of all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent is right in front of you. If you don't accept it, you'll be somewhat ungrateful.

After a brief moment of sorrow, the Phoenix God smiled again, though somewhat reluctantly. "Child, you've read the academy's story about me, haven't you?"

His wife, in the end, could not overcome the regret brought about by the different flow rates at different times.

Even though he forcibly resisted the orders of the God Realm and stayed on the Douluo Continent during that time, he only spent a little over a hundred years with his wife.

In the end, his wife lay in his arms, recounting how they met. Finally, with all her remaining strength, she gave him a kiss and fell into a deep sleep.

He was heartbroken; no words could describe the grief of losing his beloved forever.

He buried his wife with his own hands, argued with the sea god and the god of war, and finally sealed himself in a southern volcano.

If only he had listened to his brothers' advice back then, worked harder and more diligently in his cultivation, and put in more effort.

Perhaps the divine test for inheriting the position of the God of Fire will not fail.

He would not become the Phoenix God of the God Realm, but rather the Fire God of the Seven Elemental Gods. Only then would he be qualified to ascend to the God Realm with his wife, and perhaps his master could also enjoy the immortality of the God Realm.

However, he failed.

He was young and proud, but eventually he paid the price.

His wife and master turned to bones, while he endured the loneliness and pain that came with immortality, suffering forever.

He no longer wanted to be a god; he wanted to leave the divine realm, stay with his wife, guard her grave, and spend the rest of his life celebrating every birthday for himself.

However, his descendant, Ma Xiaotao, also faces the same choice.

A second-level deity cannot bring their lover along.

Ma Xiaotao knew the story of her ancestors, and she didn't want to suffer the pain of loneliness.

However, her heart told her that she should inherit the Phoenix God's legacy, which was what Xiaoxiaozi wanted her to do.

"Ancestor, I... I don't want to lose my lover, I don't want to bear the pain of loneliness." Ma Xiaotao finally made her decision.

To achieve immortality and become a god, the price to pay is eternal loneliness.

Ma Xiaotao didn't think she could bear the consequences.

The Phoenix God quietly watched his Ma Xiaotao, his descendant, who seemed to have made a different choice than he had made back then.

She is braver than she was back then.

If only I could have done that back then

"Child, don't be nervous, I have a suggestion."

"You should first accept my inheritance and slowly prepare for the divine examination. With the discerning eye of the Ma family descendants, your lover's aptitude is certainly not lacking. But in time, we can slowly devise a plan, shall we?"

"Take the test, and I will try my best to help you. If there is really no way to help you in the end, I will take back your right to inherit the legacy. How about that?" the Phoenix God said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao stared in shock, her mouth slightly agape, unable to utter a word.

Can one's own will be considered in the divine examination?

First, accept the qualification; if you are unable to ascend to the divine realm together, then return the qualification?

what?

"Grandmother, are you serious?" Ma Xiaotao stammered, unable to speak.

"You are my descendant, so naturally you don't have so many demands. I can't oppress my descendants, after all, you are more courageous than I was back then." The Phoenix God's smile was tinged with bitterness.

Ma Xiaotao paused for a moment, then agreed, "I understand, Ancestor. I am willing to accept your legacy."

Our ancestors have already put it this way, giving us the right to choose – this is something unheard of.

Besides, I have the final say. As our ancestors said, I should accept it for now and find a way to help Xiaoxiaozi and Nannan later.

The Phoenix God nodded slightly, then raised his hand and conjured a palm-sized fire phoenix.

"Take it."

Ma Xiaotao reached out her hand, and the fire phoenix, drawn by the phoenix's cry, flew into her hand, transforming into strands of energy that merged into her body.

A surge of intense heat traveled through the meridians in my palms and spread throughout my body.

Ma Xiaotao emanated a terrifying temperature, and the surrounding space appeared distorted and charred.

Phoenix wings unfolded behind Ma Xiaotao, and a layer of gold gradually grew on the fiery red phoenix wings, as if the feathers were undergoing a metamorphosis.

The process of accepting the inheritance is quick.

In just a few breaths, Ma Xiaotao had absorbed the power of the inheritance.

The latest novel is first published here!

A simple fire pattern appeared between her eyebrows, and her eyes seemed to burn with intense flames.

A layer of crimson-gold feathers grew on the phoenix's wings.

Behind the Phoenix God, his own phoenix wings were also spread out; they were completely crimson gold.

After Ma Xiaotao passes the test, her wings will turn completely crimson gold.

"Ma Xiaotao thanks the Ancestor!" Ma Xiaotao folded her wings and gave the Phoenix God a respectful bow as a junior.

"Child, keep going. I have high hopes for you. Besides, my test isn't difficult. Perhaps when you become stronger, you'll be able to obtain an even more powerful divine inheritance qualification," the Phoenix God said meaningfully.

His figure then gradually disappeared, fading into the air.

Ma Xiaotao maintained her polite posture until a sound echoed through the valley.

"You have passed the test, and will stay with me through life and death, with unwavering devotion until the very end, a truly sincere affection."

A golden light descended from the horizon and merged into Ma Xiaotao's body.

Ma Xiaotao felt her soul power rising rapidly within her body.

Soon, a crisp sound came from inside the body.

Ma Xiaotao discovered that her cultivation had broken through, and it seemed that there was a continuous flow of energy within her body converging towards her soul core.

The Phoenix Soul Core within his body was like a black hole, frantically absorbing the newfound power brought about by the breakthrough.

It felt like taking a refreshing cool bath on a hot summer day.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but let out a satisfied hum.

He has already achieved the title of Title Douluo.

"I never imagined that I would become a Title Douluo here!" Ma Xiaotao said in surprise.

Then, she bowed in the direction from which the golden light had fallen, and turned to look for the other people.

"What should we call this title? Why don't you let Xiaoxiaozi think of one for me?"

After passing the test, Ma Xiaotao found herself on a mirror-like lake, with several familiar figures nearby.

"Nannan!"

Ma Xiaotao spread her phoenix wings, flapped them slightly, and her figure shot straight out.

Jiang Nannan, along with Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, and Cai Tou, were waiting for the remaining companions.

Suddenly she heard a loud shout, and she recognized it as Ma Xiaotao's voice.

"Sister Xiaotao?"

A fiery red afterimage flashed before my eyes, and a huge splash erupted on the lake not far away.

"Oops! I can't stop! I forgot my cultivation level has improved!"

Ma Xiaotao quickly flapped her wings and flew back, twisting and turning.

She needs some time to adjust to her current power.

Sensing the fluctuations of soul power emanating from Ma Xiaotao, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xiaotao has broken through!"

The surging aura was much stronger than before, indicating that Ma Xiaotao's cultivation had improved.

"Yes! Sister Xiaotao is now a Title Douluo!" Ma Xiaotao said excitedly, hugging Jiang Nannan tightly.

"Hey, who else hasn't come out yet?"

Ma Xiaotao discovered that it was just a few of them.

"There are still many people inside. Ah Xiao has already sneaked in to help," Jiang Nannan said.
