Chapter 25 Extra 1: Gu Changli, the One Who is Both Righteous and Evil [Part 1]

Canglan World.

This Greater Thousand World, different from middle and low-level planes, experienced a three-realm war ten thousand years ago. During this period, countless cultivators with profound abilities died in battle, and major races lost countless elite members.

Among them, the Phoenix Clan lost the Fire Phoenix and the Blue Phoenix.

Although this couple died in that great war, they left behind a phoenix egg that had not yet hatched. This little phoenix stayed in the egg for ten thousand years before breaking out, and it was a unique Nine-Headed Phoenix.

Although he was a phoenix, he had nine heads, hence the name Nine Phoenix.

In addition, this strangely-looking little phoenix was the only Nine Heads phoenix since the beginning of time, so the clan members mostly called him by the name Nine Phoenix, anyway, there would be no phoenix with the same name.

But he wanted a special name, like the meaningful names of the human race, so he searched through the ancient books and chose the two characters “Changli” for himself as his name.

“Former Changli makes brush feather, entrust water balance to Xuanming.”

Changli means phoenix, his parents were phoenixes, and he was also a phoenix.

The name “Changli” suited him, so he began to use Changli as his name.

Except for some elders, relatives, and friends all changed their way of addressing him.

They called him Changli. Nine Heads was his true form, no longer his name.

Changli gradually grew up, from a cub to a teenager, with a lively and cheerful personality, passionate and unrestrained, and his talent far surpassed ordinary phoenix cubs.

No matter where he was, he thrived.

Especially in his cultivation, normal phoenixes or other races would encounter bottlenecks that were difficult to overcome, but Changli’s cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds as if there were no bottlenecks.

In addition, his appearance was also the well-deserved face value of the Phoenix Clan.

His face was like the moon in mid-autumn, and his complexion was like the flowers in the spring morning.

Even the nine-tailed fox demons, who were famous for their beauty, were not as graceful as Changli.

Although he was a rare anomaly in the Phoenix Clan, his parents were once top powerhouses in the clan, and they both died in battle to protect the Phoenix Clan. In addition, his talent was excellent, so he had been the favored son of heaven since he hatched.

High Daoism, profound cultivation, good looks, and excellent temperament.

He not only had elders in the clan to take care of and teach him, but also had peers to play with him, and also had many loyal followers who admired and trusted him.

At this time, Changli was as dazzling as the rising sun in the sky, regarded as the future of the Phoenix Clan, and even the Phoenix Emperor intended to cultivate him to take over the Phoenix Clan and make him the next emperor of the Phoenix Clan.

However, sometimes changes come unexpectedly.

The Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan, who was best at deduction, calculated a terrifying prophecy about Nine Phoenix Changli, or rather, about the survival of the Three Realms when he was deducing the future.

“Nine Phoenix will turn from auspicious to fierce, and start another war in the Three Realms.”

“If the war starts, lives will be ruined, grief will be everywhere, and Canglan World will also be in danger of destruction.”

He, who had taught Changli, naturally did not want to easily believe that the younger generation he valued would degenerate into a ferocious beast and start a new round of war again.

So he deduced it a second and third time, but the final results were the same.

Nine Phoenix will eventually turn from an auspicious beast representing auspiciousness into a ferocious beast representing destruction, starting the next round of war in the Three Realms, causing the Three Realms to bleed into rivers again.

After much hesitation, the Great Elder still informed the Phoenix Emperor and other elders of the Phoenix Clan about this matter. After discussion, they finally decided to imprison Changli.

These elders were ultimately unwilling to kill him.

But the Three Realms could not withstand a new war, so they could only imprison Changli, who would cause the war in the future, both as supervision and protection.

From this moment on, Changli, who was originally high-spirited and had a bright future, was imprisoned in the Undying Volcano.

He went from being the favored son of heaven to a prisoner, experienced unbelievable, dazed, and other emotions, and finally chose to accept the reality and stay here.

The long imprisonment made him shed his past arrogance, made him become taciturn, lonely, and indifferent, no longer as bright and smiling as before.

That prophecy became his invisible shackles, binding this phoenix, who should have soared in the nine heavens and ten lands, in the forbidden area of the clan, the Undying Volcano.

*

Just in the 2600th year that Changli, who was less than five thousand years old since hatching, was imprisoned in the Undying Volcano, that prophecy about the life and death of the Three Realms was also predicted by other top races that were no less than the Phoenix Clan.

What followed was the questioning from all races in the Three Realms.

The top contemporary races such as the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan, the God Clan, and the Immortal Clan directly went to the Phoenix Clan living in the Heavenly Realm Red Cave Mountain to demand the Nine Phoenix, the troublemaker in the prophecy, and wrote a manifesto to punish the fierce.

The general idea is that the Three Realms War has just ended for less than 20,000 years, and they absolutely cannot afford a new war. The Nine Phoenix who is about to start the war must be executed on the spot, and cannot be allowed to grow up to harm the Three Realms.

The Phoenix Clan naturally refused to hand over Changli.

Even if Changli might start a war in the Three Realms, he had not yet caused a catastrophe after all, and there was no need to execute him since they were suppressing and guarding Changli.

At this moment, Changli was still a member of the Phoenix Clan, protected by the short-sighted phoenixes behind him.

But other races were unwilling to give up.

Which race had not lost clan members in the Three Realms War that had ended not long ago, and which family did not have relatives and friends who died in the war.

All races, large and small, in the Three Realms suffered casualties.

That kind of pain engraved in the bone marrow will not fade away with time, but will intensify, and make them more afraid of the arrival of the next war.

Therefore, Nine Phoenix/Changli must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Some creatures who had lost loved ones in the Three Realms War even placed this hatred on Changli, determined to put Changli to death.

No one can smile and face that great war.

However, the major races forgot that Changli’s parents also died in that Three Realms War that killed countless people, and Changli did not want to start a new war.

If not, how could Changli willingly stay in the forbidden area after learning about the prophecy!

He did not want to see the war start again more than anyone else.

War will inevitably lead to bloodshed and sacrifice, and there will inevitably be cubs like him who lose their blood relatives.

——Phoenix, seeing it means peace in the world.

As a member of the Phoenix Clan, Changli did not want the phoenix, who was a symbol of peace and tranquility, to become a ferocious beast that started wars and killings.

Therefore, when the Phoenix Clan was facing difficulties and attacks from various races because of him, he chose to commit suicide, using his death to exchange for the continuation of the Phoenix Clan.

He did not want to see his clan members destroyed.

Even if the Phoenix Clan was strong, it would be difficult to maintain the situation in the face of a situation where they were attacked by the group.

Moreover, he did not want the Three Realms, which had not been peaceful for long, to reignite the flames of war because of him.

Therefore, he showed his will with death, only wishing for peace in the Three Realms.

This matter should have come to an end, but Changli was reborn from the ashes in the fire of Nirvana, reaching the goal of one death and one life in the phoenix life.

Changli, who was reborn from Nirvana, was even more powerful than before, but he did not continue to stay in the Phoenix Clan to implicate his clan members, but instead asked to be removed from the Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix Emperor allowed it, and Changli was no longer a member of the Phoenix Clan.

Changli left Heavenly Realm Red Cave Mountain from then on and never returned, and the Phoenix Clan had no right to interfere with him.

He no longer had any support behind him and could only walk alone in the world.
