I only want to win over the fairy.

Phoenixes are extremely special beings. Normally, the souls of the dead would either be reincarnated or disintegrate and dissipate into the world. However, phoenixes are extremely special. Their lifespan is extremely long. Even without breaking through to the Emperor Realm, their lifespan can be comparable to that of a Great Emperor. As long as they do not perish, living for tens of thousands of years is extremely easy.

When a phoenix dies, it is enveloped by its own phoenix fire, burning itself completely. From the ashes, a new chick is born, thus gaining a new life.

Unlike the rebirth from the ashes of survival, the resurrection after complete death is more like a new reincarnation. However, what is special is that the Phoenix Clan can store their own memories in their bloodline, so that when they are reborn and explore the power of their bloodline, they can obtain the memories stored in their bloodline.

Due to this special racial talent, the way the Phoenix Clan unites is slightly different from other races. When they unite with their mate, one of them will constantly transform into a vibrant flame to envelop the other. While bringing powerful life force to the other, they will also be constantly entangled by the desire to reproduce, thus burning with desire, allowing their own life flame to intertwine with the life of the other.

In other words, to outsiders, the phoenix transforming into flames and wrapping around its lover is a way of protecting it. In reality, the two are constantly engaged in the act of reproduction. During the reproduction period, the phoenix's desires are extremely strong, and it will spend almost all its time on this, living solely to satisfy its own reproductive needs. Immersed in the union with its husband, it will not care about the situation outside.

Because this matter involves the secrets of the Phoenix Clan's survival, there are no records of it in any ancient texts; the information only exists within the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan.

Bai Yi was completely unaware of this news, and Yu Gonghua, who was not yet a member of the Phoenix Clan in reality, was even less aware of it.

[After bidding farewell to Bai, unable to find a suitable auspicious place to give birth, you chose to come to Xihe Mountain in Fenglin Continent and temporarily reside in the territory of the auspicious beast Bai Ze. Bai Ze was not too annoyed by your arrival, and although it said that giving birth to a child would only cause the child suffering, it still made room for you to live in half of its territory.]

[In the year 1155 of the Wanxian Calendar, you gave birth to a young phoenix. You were overjoyed at the birth of this child, and Bai Ze, your neighbor, unusually chose to visit and bestow blessings upon the child.]

Please name your child.

What's the child's name?

Yu Gonghua fell into a brief moment of contemplation. Since her birth, she had been mostly alone. Occasionally, outsiders would intrude into her territory, either passing by and leaving quickly, or they had designs on her and wanted to take her as a pet. Of all the creatures she had encountered, the latter were the majority.

In the past, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and the place where she lived was a blessed land. With the help of the terrain and the protection of heaven and earth, she was able to easily repel any creatures that had designs on her and protect herself. Later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth weakened, and the place where she lived became a barren land. Naturally, creatures would not go there easily anymore.

In other words, he has had no peers since birth, and even his parents, who were born as the Holy Spirit, did not accompany him.

Therefore, she was very grateful to Bai for taking her away from this place, making her a real phoenix, improving her simulator rating, obtaining phoenix blood essence, and ensuring that she would not have to worry about survival for hundreds of years, and even having the option to leave this barren land at any time.

Although the two have not met yet, she does not care, because the other party's kindness has already fallen on her.

Therefore, we need to be a little more careful in choosing a name for this child.

Of course, the child should have the surname of one's own, after all, it's a child born of one's own parents, not a child born for nothing.

After a moment of contemplation, she typed out a name on the simulator—Hanomiya I.

You named your child Yu Gongyi. She is very healthy, and the purity and strength of her bloodline are even higher than yours, a pure-blooded phoenix. This delights you greatly, and you decide to raise this child who has inherited both your bloodline and Bai's.

A year later, your daughter successfully emerged from infancy, and her bloodline awakened. Her growth rate and talent astonished you.

Name: Yuu Miyako

Gender: Female

[Race: Oracle Phoenix]

Age: 1 year old

[Realm Level: Peak of the Four Symbols Realm]

[Personality: Self-centered, gentle and sensitive]

[Talent: I am unique, unprecedented, and unparalleled; no one can surpass me.]

[Attribute: There is no power I cannot control]

Hanamiya Hana: "???"

What kind of monster?

Are these attributes for real?

In May of the 1158th year of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, the world underwent a dramatic change. A terrifying aura of the Emperor Realm erupted from the Xuan Tian Sect in the Central Continent. The Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor disappeared half an hour after it descended. An existence achieved the status of a Great Emperor in this era before the Path to Emperorhood had even begun.

[Feeling the aura of a Great Emperor's birth that filled the heavens and earth in that instant, you understand that Xiao Jinxuan has become an Emperor. You may never be able to defeat her again in this lifetime. While she is alive, you simply cannot withstand the pressure of this Great Emperor and continue to break through. Your limit is the peak of the Dao Integration stage.]

You looked at your daughter, who was eating her food, completely oblivious to the aura of an Emperor Realm expert in the world, and felt a sense of comfort.

[You think this isn't so bad; at least you'll have your daughter to keep you company for the rest of your life, so you won't be alone and miserable.]

[Bai Ze, thinking you might be greatly affected by this, came over to comfort you: "It's okay, so what if you can't become an emperor? Anyway, I think you never had a chance to begin with. Now it's just a matter of putting an end to that pointless expectation sooner. Think positively. If you can't take it and die of depression, your daughter will be motherless. Let me make this clear, I won't help you raise her. But if you suddenly die of depression, I'll send her to her father's place."]

Hanamiya Hana felt that this person definitely had some serious illness.

Look at what you're saying! Does it sound even remotely comforting?

The reason I can't beat Xiao Jinxuan now is because I haven't fully developed yet. Once I do, I'll absolutely dominate her. Besides, as a phoenix, as long as I live peacefully, I'll wear Xiao Jinxuan down sooner or later. Even if I can't beat her, I'll just wait for her to die of old age. What's there to be afraid of?

Stop thinking and continue the deduction.

[Already angry, upon hearing Bai Ze's words, you immediately gave the other person a sound beating. The other person was completely helpless, muttering something about how fortunes change over time, how she, a dignified Holy Spirit Goddess, had been reduced to being beaten by a sycophant like you, a loser. If it were you in the past, would you have let yourself be humiliated? You would have definitely made him pay.]

[You got even angrier, so you hung her up and beat her severely. That night, while having dinner with Yu Gongyi, you became increasingly angry, so you went to her cave, dragged her out, and beat her again.]

After beating up the opponent, you immediately felt much better. At the same time, you realized that being with such a useless person would not help your daughter's growth in the slightest. So you decided to move to Zhongzhou, have your daughter join the Xuantian Sect, and let her steal rice from Bai and Xiao Jinxuan's family.

Chapter 116 Inside the distillery, the undercover agent is the most capable.

After his master broke through to the Great Emperor realm, the ancient demon race immediately became obedient, which made Bai Yi feel extremely emotional.

Of course, he wouldn't let these guys off so easily.

Originally, he wanted to use Yu Gonghua's identity to divide the ancient demon race, so that the ancient demon race could be integrated into the human race and become a part of the human race, and become an aid in the future fight against the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and the Extraterrestrial Demon. However, Yu Gonghua suddenly disappeared without a trace, which forced him to abandon the plan.

"Since the ancient demon race cannot become an ally, we can only eliminate this unsettling factor."

Bai Yi wiped the Emperor's Sword. The appearance of the Great Emperor greatly increased the cohesion and overall strength of the human race, and thus the fortune became even stronger, which made the Emperor's Sword even more powerful.

He didn't want to be betrayed by these guys when he faced the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone in the future.

[You are keenly aware of the danger posed by the ancient demon race and have decided to abandon unrealistic ambitions, determined to eliminate this perilous element. However, you also understand the importance of securing internal stability before addressing external threats.]

[If teammates are all fighting against the invaders, then this idea is undoubtedly a blow to friendly forces. However, if friendly forces accept benefits from the enemy, or even help fight against their own people, then it's a truly rare and malicious act. Not dealing with it sooner will only make the situation more and more difficult, and eventually the entire human race will be devoured by these insects.]

[As your master Xiao Jinxuan advanced to the Emperor Realm, your cultivation, possessing a similar soul to hers, also increased significantly. You took time to eliminate, one by one, the immortal sects you had investigated over the years that had close ties with the ancient demon race and secretly assisted them. You then handed this evidence over to your junior sister, Su Qingyu, asking her to expose the crimes of these immortal sects in order to create momentum.]

Gradually, Su Qingyu began to make a name for herself in the Nine Provinces, and the organization she led thus came into the sights of the major immortal sects. Because it was discovered that she was a disciple of the current Great Emperor Xiao Jinxuan, many began to speculate whether the Great Emperor was backing the organization. Take this opportunity to disguise yourself and find the sect leader of a mid-level immortal sect, and have them send a skilled undercover agent to investigate the organization, strictly instructing them not to leak this information.

[To leak this information, you commissioned members of the renowned assassin organization Fengxinlou to infiltrate other smaller sects, posing as members of a major sect, to investigate whether the organization was authorized by the Great Emperor or had other motives, and to find out why this so-called organization was gathering so many mortals.]

A month later, numerous immortal sects, including the Nine Great Immortal Sects, sent their best spies to join the organization. In an instant, the empire's power and reputation greatly increased. These spies, to avoid exposing each other, worked even harder than the organization's most outstanding and capable members. This impressed you with their dedication, so you decisively chose to pay them less than one-tenth of their usual wages and cut off their holidays. However, under your pressure, these spies increasingly felt that the organization's exclusion of them must be due to some secret, and thus worked even harder.

Under your "distillery" management method, the empire's power has grown extremely rapidly, and its internal situation is complex and multifaceted, with spies from various factions everywhere. Surprisingly, it has encountered very few obstacles in its outward expansion.

The empire's influence has spread to many states, including Xuanzhou, Zhongzhou, Yingzhou, Jukuzhou, and Fenglinzhou.

[I never imagined that your slight assistance would expand the Empire's power tenfold, even a hundredfold. This has greatly shocked your junior sister, Su Qingyu, and further strengthened her loyalty to you.]

The empire's power has reached its limit, and it will be difficult to achieve significant improvement in a short period of time. It can only rely on time to gradually increase its strength.

The number of people who have joined the empire has now reached a terrifying 80 billion. Although none of the powerful figures are his own, it doesn't matter to Bai Yi. As long as these powerful figures are willing to work honestly, that's enough.

So, it's time to veil the ancient demon race.

The image of the snake-like gray-haired woman flashed through his mind. As the Demon Emperor, if he could kill her, the fortune of the demon race would probably be severely damaged and absorbed by the Human Emperor Sword.

However, it's not time to deal with it yourself yet. The ancient demon race is an excellent dungeon boss for farming reputation. Let the Empire handle it first. It's most important to increase the Empire's prestige. Otherwise, if we kill the dungeon boss too quickly, how will we farm reputation for our own organization?

I want the destiny of the demon race, and I want the prestige of the empire too!

Come to think of it, I haven't even named this empire yet.

Tianxuan Empire?

Not quite right, it doesn't suit my aesthetic.

Baiyi Empire?

Come on, naming it after yourself is so embarrassing, it's not even as good as the Tianxuan Empire.

After racking his brains for a long time, the words "Yanhuang" came to mind. However, since "Yanhuang Empire" or "Yanhuang Dynasty" didn't sound quite right, he decided to change it slightly.

Let's call it the Great Yan Empire (Dynasty).

In October of the 1160th year of the Wanxian Calendar, the once-powerful Great Yan Empire launched an attack on the ancient demon race that occupied the territory of Xuanzhou. With overwhelming numerical superiority and the support of powerful figures, they won their first battle!

The following month, the Great Yan Empire issued a purge order against the ancient demon race forces within Xuanzhou. This move enraged the ancient demon race, who vowed to tear these ignorant, self-proclaimed empire-level trash to shreds. Su Qingyu was extremely worried about the aggressive ancient demon race, fearing that with the current strength of the Great Yan Empire, it would be easily crushed by them.

You comforted Su Qingyu, telling her not to worry. Those spies within the Great Yan Empire wouldn't want the empire to fall so easily. To be on the safe side, you sent Su Qingyu to the Human Emperor's Palace to discuss the possibility of attacking the ancient demon clan's stronghold in Yingzhou while they were gathering their forces to attack the Great Yan Empire. The Human Emperor's Palace readily agreed.

Three months later, the ancient demon race suffered a crushing defeat, and the continents of Xuanzhou and Yingzhou fell back into the hands of the human race.

[Famous throughout the land!!!]

After this battle, Su Qingyu, who already deeply respected and admired you, believed even more that you were a leader capable of making this land a better place. To enhance her junior sister's ability to manage the empire and her own strength, you began to subject her to extremely cruel training, letting her experience what hell truly meant.

Wow, awesome! This ancient demon race is like a newbie gift pack, constantly providing assistance to my and my empire's development!

Bai Yi now felt that it wouldn't be long before he could begin to have the Great Yan Empire incorporate those weak immortal sects into the empire.

This land has been in chaos and disorder for too long under the fragmented rule of the immortal sects; it's time to unify it.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, he turned his head to look to his right, where he felt an aura that made him feel incredibly close.

[You follow the scent to your destination and discover that some formal disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect are bullying a newly joined junior sister. You prepare to intervene, but another girl suddenly appears and beats you to it. You feel a strong sense of closeness to this girl, which leads you to join her in taking down the disciples.]

After doing all this, you learn from the girl that her name is Hagami Ii, which leaves you stunned.

Chapter 117 The Chatty Fungus

Feather Palace.

Bai Yi knew only one person with this surname.

The girl in front of him, who called herself Yu Gongyi, made it hard for Bai Yi not to associate her with Yu Gonghua, especially the aura about her that made him feel incredibly close to her, which he couldn't ignore.

Moreover, judging from the girl's appearance, she is probably only about ten years old.

The fact that she makes you feel very close to her, with the surname Yu Gong, immediately fills in all the necessary elements.

After casually chasing away the disciples who were trying to extort benefits from the new junior sister by taking advantage of their "senior" status, he looked at Yu Gongyi in front of him and chuckled, "It seems I've been meddling in other people's business."

“I should be saying this,” Yu Gongyi replied seriously. “You are very strong. With your strength, you should be able to defeat them in an instant. My intervention is actually affecting you. What’s your name?”

"Bai Yi".

"Interesting. It seems we're quite destined to meet. But I have other things to do right now. Let's sit down and chat properly next time we meet."

After a brief chat with Bai Yi, Yu Gongyi decided to leave. She needed to register her identity with the Xuan Tian Sect and collect her sect robes, token, and accommodation.
