Right at this moment, Gu Changge's calm voice sounded, breaking the solemn atmosphere. With a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, he looked at Little Black.
"I couldn't tell, kid, but your prestige in this old homeland of yours is quite high."
Hearing this, the heaviness and resolve on Little Black's face dissipated, replaced by an undisguised expression that mixed sorrow and pride.
He straightened his back slightly, his gaze sweeping over his old subordinates who were still watching him. His voice carried a complex emotion. "I've made a fool of myself in front of Master. They are just some ignorant old brothers."
In his tone, there was nostalgia, emotion, and an even deeper pride stemming from the glorious days of the past.
This prestige was won in the past through his strength and bloody battles here; it was a part of his history.
Gu Changge took in his appearance, chuckled, and shook his head, but didn't tease him any further.
His gaze turned to this devastated, spiritually exhausted land, a trace of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Very well."
His tone was plain, yet it carried the weight of words that form the laws of reality.
"Since this is your former home, and there are so many loyal subjects willing to wait for you, I shall grant them a fortune to settle this karma of yours."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the demonic beasts still prostrating on the ground, their eyes full of anticipation and loyalty. He then added lightly, his voice not loud but clearly reaching the ears of Little Black and every beast:
"When you have free time in the future, you may also come back and visit."
This casual sentence caused all the demonic beasts below to tremble violently, their eyes instantly erupting with an indescribable light of ecstasy!
His Majesty the Peng Emperor was not leaving forever; they would see him again! This promise excited them more than any reward.
Before his words even faded, Gu Changge didn't make any earth-shattering movements. He simply raised his hand casually, forming his fingers like a brush, and lightly swiped across the void.
In an instant, the entire Ancient Heavenly Demon Star shook violently!
It was not the tremor of destruction, but the pulsation of new life!
A vast, star-sea-like, and extremely pure life energy seeped out from the void like invisible sweet rain, permeating heaven and earth.
The cracked earth healed at a visible rate, sprouting lush green grass and tender shoots. The dried riverbeds surged with clear springs once more, emitting cheerful babbling sounds.
The suffocating dead silence and aura of decay in the air were swept away, replaced by a dense spiritual energy that could not be dispersed, even several times more abundant than before the Dark Phoenix descended!
What was even more shocking was that from deep within the earth veins, a low dragon roar could be heard!
A newborn Emperor-level spirit vein was directly condensed by supreme magic power and buried into the core of the star, as if injecting a brand-new, incredibly powerful heart into this dying ancient star!
In the firmament above, the dark clouds of resentment accumulated from long-term blood sacrifices were washed away, restoring a clear sky, and even auspicious rays of light began to faintly appear!
This was simply a method to change heaven and earth and reverse life and death!
With just a casual gesture, a dying ancient star radiated unprecedented vitality, its foundation even stronger than before!
Such divine abilities had already exceeded the comprehension of the countless demonic beasts below!
All the demonic beasts, including those old ministers who had sworn oaths in excitement, stared dumbfounded at this miraculous scene. Feeling the surging vitality and spiritual energy around them, the immense happiness and shock almost suffocated them.
The next moment, shouts even more fanatic and devout than before resounded through the clouds:
"Thank you for your grace, Supreme Being! Thank you for your profound kindness, His Majesty the Peng Emperor!"
They understood why this miracle had occurred; it was only because of the Peng Emperor, and the supreme existence behind the Peng Emperor!
Little Black was also stunned. He looked at his rejuvenated homeland, feeling that familiar yet more vigorous aura, his eyes growing slightly hot.
He looked at Gu Changge, his voice carrying a hint of a choke. "Master, I..."
Gu Changge waved his hand casually, his gaze returning to the deathly still forbidden area deep within the ancient star, his tone returning to normal.
"Alright, the small fry have been cleared out. Next, it's time to meet the main characters. I hope those 'Supremes' can take a beating slightly better than your 'old friend' just now."
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the area suddenly froze. The previous emotions were swept away, and only cold battle intent began to permeate.
The true target had always been the ancient forbidden area deep in the starry sky.
The figures of the three of them calmly strode toward the deepest, most deathly silent region of the starry sky, where even starlight seemed to be devoured.
Meanwhile, in the Tianhuang Forbidden Area.
This place was a cosmic graveyard that even starlight avoided, where all things withered and rules collapsed.
Here, the concepts of time and space both became blurred and unclear.
The most common sights were solidified stellar remnants and silently flowing chaotic currents capable of eroding all things.
The spatial structure was shattered, forming countless massive, dark fault lines.
In the deepest part of this domain of absolute despair, several unimaginably massive ancient coffins floated.
Forged from rare stellar iron, the surfaces of the coffins were carved with profound runes that tightly wrapped and sealed them like chains.
These coffins had been silent for eternity; they were the places where the Supremes of the forbidden area had completely sealed themselves away to delay the extinguishing of their fires of life.
However, at the very moment Little Black triggered Gu Changge's life-saving method to counter-kill the Dark Phoenix, and its Emperor-level aura clashed fiercely with the supreme Dao principles—
Buzz...!
One of the coffins trembled imperceptibly.
The dust covering it rustled down, and the runes on the coffin's surface flickered in response.
Inside the stone coffin, a figure slowly opened its eyes.
The instant he opened his eyes, the shattered stellar remnants around him silently turned to dust, as if even this solidified void could not bear the weight of his gaze.
He wore a dark gold emperor's robe embroidered with innate divine patterns that had long been annihilated in ancient history. His face was shrouded in chaotic energy, and only a pair of eyes was clearly visible, within which scenes of cosmic birth and death, and collapsing galaxies seemed to revolve.
An extremely faint will, carrying endless vicissitudes and an aura of decay, echoed faintly from deep within the coffin.
"Hmm?"
A soft exclamation, yet it caused the entire starry sky of the forbidden area to tremble slightly.
He had just sensed that the life-saving rune he had bestowed upon that watchdog phoenix had been triggered, and it was a reverse annihilation.
"A Great Emperor-level power fluctuation? Flashing and then disappearing?"
He whispered, his voice ancient and weathered, carrying a coldness that disregarded all things.
"To be able to so cleanly resolve the death ray formed by a wisp of my Dao principle... interesting."
With a slight shift in his mind, he instantly pierced through endless spatial barriers and perceived everything that had happened on the Ancient Heavenly Demon Star.
The Dark Phoenix was destroyed in both body and soul, its lingering aura completely erased. The traces left by the attacker were ethereal and hard to find, yet they carried a Dao charm that surpassed that of an ordinary Quasi-Emperor.
"It's not the aura of those old rivals. An unfamiliar Emperor's might, yet carrying a trace of displeasing familiarity?"
