With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Father, let me do it." Nangong Wu quickly went up and opened the palace door first.

The two heavy doors slowly opened.

"Wuwu." Huo Jing called out to her, afraid that she would be impolite.

"Haha..." Two soft laughs came from the main hall.

Nangong Wu recognized the laughter as the same distant voice from before.

This Xuanwei Celestial Master has profound internal strength, and his martial arts are definitely above Lingyangzi's. Moreover, his name sounds like that of a reclusive master. When did Father meet such a profound person?

While she was pondering, Huo Jing had already entered the main hall.

Nangong Wu followed behind him and saw a gray-robed Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a futon in the middle of the hall, with his back to the door.

Needless to say, this person is the Celestial Master Xuanwei.

Huo Jing stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Huo Jing pays respects to Celestial Master Xuanwei."

"Your Highness Zhenyuan, I've heard so much about you!" The Taoist priest stood up, slowly turned around, and reached out to help Huo Jing up.

"Your Highness is too kind!"

Huo Jing said, "I have wanted to visit you many times, but the Celestial Master has been traveling for many years. This time I am finally able to meet you."

"As I said, we will meet again when the time is right," Master Xuanwei said with a smile.

Nangong Wu looked at Xuanwei Tianshi's face, and her pupils suddenly contracted. This face looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

But since she transmigrated here, apart from the battle at Changyang Temple, she has not met any other Taoists besides Xuan Qingzi and Ling Yangzi.

It seems she remembered it wrong. Master Xuanwei is a Celestial Master level figure. If she had met him, she would definitely remember him.

But looking at Master Xuanwei's face, it felt somewhat familiar.

Seeing that she was staring at Master Xuanwei's face, Huo Jing quickly reminded her, "Wuwu, this is Master Xuanwei, come over and pay your respects."

Nangong Wu's consciousness was pulled back, and she cupped her hands in greeting, "Greetings, Celestial Master."

"Haha! No need for formalities!" Master Xuanwei gestured to help her up, and said with a smile, "It seems that the princess still remembers this master."

Nangong Wu suddenly looked up, staring directly at Xuanwei Celestial Master's face, and asked, "Xuanwei Celestial Master, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Upon hearing his words, Nangong Wu was certain that she had met Xuanwei Celestial Master before, but she couldn't remember it at all.

"A fleeting encounter, hahaha!" Master Xuanwei laughed loudly again.

"Thanks to the Heavenly Master's help, my daughter's soul has been able to return to its rightful place. I am deeply grateful." Huo Jing bowed deeply to him again.

"The soul has returned to its place? What does that mean?" Nangong Wu looked at her father and Xuanwei Celestial Master with a puzzled expression, sensing that they were hiding something from her.

"Father, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by 'the soul returning to its place'?"

The Celestial Master Xuanwei walked up to her and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, do you remember when you visited a dilapidated Taoist temple and donated some money to an old Taoist priest? The old priest, grateful for your kindness, gave you a talisman?"

"Talismans?" Nangong Wu was greatly shocked, her eyes fixed on the face of Xuanwei Celestial Master.

No wonder his face seemed so familiar. "So you're the old Taoist priest who gave me the time-travel talisman?"

"Hahaha!" Master Xuanwei laughed without answering, but everything was self-evident.

"How could this be? What exactly happened?" Nangong Wu now remembered everything.

That was in her past life. She was returning from a mission and was driving on a mountain road when she encountered a torrential downpour. A section of the road was flooded. She happened to see a Taoist temple nearby, so she drove over and took shelter from the rain inside.

She found it strange at the time; how could there be a Taoist temple in this remote mountain wilderness?

But she didn't think much of it at the time. Seeing that the old Taoist priest was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and considering that his family was also Taoist, she gave him some money so that he could have a good old age.

"But how is that possible?" she murmured to herself.

The old Taoist priest looked to be over sixty years old, with gray hair and a goatee, while the Xuanwei Celestial Master in front of him looked to be only in his forties, with a fair complexion, no beard, and completely black hair.

Moreover, the old Taoist priest who gave her the talisman was from her previous life.

Nangong Wu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she had just transmigrated a few years ago. She clutched her head with both hands, "Ah..."

"Wuwu! How are you?" Huo Jing's expression changed, and he helped her up.

Seeing her pain, Master Xuanwei's expression changed slightly, and he pressed two acupoints on Nangong Wu's body with his fingers.

Nangong Wu's headache immediately subsided. She slowly raised her head, looked at Huo Jing, and asked, "Father, what exactly happened? Are you hiding something from me?"

She knew that her father and Master Xuanwei must be hiding something from her.

"Wuwu, it's all because your father failed to protect you." Huo Jing's eyes were filled with pain.

Master Xuanwei shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, it was the princess's destiny to suffer this calamity, but fortunately everything has passed."

"Was this tribulation destined to be ours?" Nangong Wu held Huo Jing's hand, and for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes and flowed uncontrollably.

She asked, "Father, I want to know, please tell me."

"Daughter, it's all over now, you're back." Huo Jing helped her to a chair to sit down.

"Let me, the Celestial Master, tell her! It's time for her to know." Celestial Master Xuanwei sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu looked at Master Xuanwei.

Her time travel may not have been accidental.

"Wuwu, don't be afraid." Huo Jing held her hand.

"Twenty-three years ago, I, the Celestial Master, observed the celestial phenomena at night and discovered that a phoenix star, a rare occurrence in a thousand years, was about to descend upon the world. I performed a divination and calculated that this phoenix star was not entirely an auspicious omen, but would bring considerable turmoil to the entire world in the future."

The arrival of this Phoenix Star will change the entire situation of this world.

This phoenix star is extremely bright and dazzling; it is the king of fortune, and its domineering light overshadows all the imperial stars. If others discover it, they will surely use all sorts of evil magic to interfere with the phoenix star's fortune.

Just as I was about to cast a spell to cover up the light of the Phoenix Star, the light of the Phoenix Star suddenly dimmed.

The Celestial Master sensed something was wrong and performed another divination, discovering that someone had already made a move against Feng Xing.

The Phoenix Star is born in accordance with the will of Heaven and is destined by Heaven. It must not be harmed, otherwise it will bring even greater disaster to the whole world.

So, this Celestial Master found the girl with the destiny of the Phoenix, who is you, Princess Runing. From then on, this Celestial Master has lived here...

"I am Fengxing? But the original Nangong Wu is dead. I am not her." Nangong Wu smiled bitterly at Huo Jing. "Your Highness, I am not your real daughter."

Xuanwei Celestial Master already knows her past and present life; she is not the real Nangong Wu. Presumably, Huo Jing also knew this long ago, so there's nothing more to hide.

"No! You are my daughter." Seeing her like this, Huo Jing felt even more heartbroken.
