1232 Unexpected Visitor "Are you done with your cultivation, Master?" Xingrui asked him the moment he came out of seclusion. "Xingrui…? Is that you?" Tian Yi stared at her with a dumbfounded expression, not daring to believe that the innocent-looking young lady before him was the one known as Eater of Stars despite the overwhelming evidence, such as the bottle of blood in her grasp that he had prepared for her right before he went into seclusion. "It is, Master." Xingrui calmly nodded for confirmation. "I-Is that so…" Tian Yi proceeded to look around, expecting to see Dragon Goddess Yeyou or Feng Yuming around. He quickly found Dragon Goddess Yeyou, who appeared to be napping peacefully in the distance. "Where is Feng Yuming?" He asked Xingrui. "Primordial Phoenix mentioned something about a business and said that she will return soon. That was 50 years ago." "I see… Well, she'll return whenever they are ready. How have you been fairing, Xingrui? Do you need more blood?" Xingrui shook her head, "I still have 10 bottles left. They'll last me for another ten years." "Just let me know whenever you need it." Tian Yi said with a smile. "Now then. What should we do now?" He began pondering their next step. Should he continue cultivating until Feng Yuming returns, or should he do something else while waiting for her to return? However, before he could think of something, a voice that he was not familiar with resounded. "I have finally found you, my lord." "Who's there?! Show yourself!" Xingrui immediately became defensive. Dragon Goddess Yeyou also woke up from her nap. The following moment, an old man emitting an ominous aura appeared out of thin air before Tian Yi and Xingrui. "There's no need to be alert. I am not your enemy." The old man said. "Who are you?" Tian Yi asked him. Despite the pungent stench of blood emanating from the elderly man, Tian Yi remained untroubled, as he sensed no imminent threat from the old man's presence. In fact, he could feel unwavering loyalty from the old man for some reason. "This old subordinate is called Dong Ye, and I have spent the last million years awaiting your return." "My return? What are you talking about? I don't believe we've met before, and I am not even a million years old, so how could you be waiting so long for me? You must've gotten the wrong person." Tian Yi expressed his doubts. "I understand your confusion, and what I am about to tell you will sound crazy, but I am not messing with you." Dong Ye proceeded to tell Tian Yi of his true identity and his incarnation as the Evil God and the Divine Paragon. Tian Yi listened to the whole story without interrupting, and on his face was a look of disbelief. "If I am not mistaken, my lord, you have already been regaining your past memories…" Tian Yi couldn't rebuke such a claim, as it was true. In fact, he's been seeing these memories even before he met with Dragon Goddess Yeyou. "Even if what you say is true, what do you want me to do? What do you expect me to do? Those identities died with their body." Tian Yi asked him. "Nothing at the moment, my lord. I am only here to fulfill my duties as your humble servant. If you ever need anything— anything at all, please don't hesitate to use these old bones." "Seriously…?" "Seriously." Dong Ye nodded with a serious expression.. "Then I need some time to digest what I learned today. You may leave for now." Tian Yi sighed. "As you command." Dong Ye bowed to Tian Yi before disappearing like a ghost. "Do you believe what he said?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked him. "I do." He calmly nodded. "Truth be told, I was already aware of my past lives even before he told me." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 "To think you were the Evil God's reincarnation. The human world would go into a frenzy if they knew, and they might even hunt you down like some kind of beast." "What are you going to do now? No matter what you decide, I will follow you." Xingrui said. "Nothing has changed. Evil God or not, I will walk my own path until my dreams are realized. It's as simple as that. With that being said, let's return to the Divine Heavens and start our plans." "Okay." Thus, Tian Yi made his way back to the Divine Heavens with Xingrui and Dragon Goddess Yeyou. Feng Yuming would eventually rejoin with them later. *Knock* *Knock* "Yuan, are you awake?" Yuan slowly opened his eyes after hearing Xi Meili's voice. He went to open the door and greet her. "I am. Do you need anything?" "My mother's wondering if you are ready for your training yet." Xi Meili said. It's been several days since they dealt with the Azure Dragon Clan and the Emerald Dragon Family, but it felt much longer for Yuan, who had been engrossed in Dragon Goddess Yeyou's memories. "Please let her know that I am ready," Yuan replied. "Okay!" Shortly after Xi Meili left his room, Feng Yuxiang and the others showed up in his room. When Yuan saw Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying standing beside each other, he couldn't help but recall Feng Yuming and Xingrui, and he wondered if they were somehow related. "Young Master? What's wrong?" Feng Yuxiang asked him when she noticed his dazed stare. He smiled and said, "I was just remembering something that happened in my past life. Do you know anything about the Primordial Phoenix?" "Primordial Phoenix? Of course. There is no way a Phoenix wouldn't know of her. She's like a god in our race. No, she's practically a god. In fact, she's the sole reason why I became a businesswoman. Why do you ask? Wait! Do you— your incarnation know the Primordial Phoenix?!" Feng Yuxiang suddenly became excited. Yuan nodded, "Yes, I will tell you more about it later. After I finish my training." "Please do!" Feng Yuxiang was overflowing with enthusiasm.
