"Goddess, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"
"Your Ladyship, have you forgotten your mission?"
Who? Who is calling me?
Ji Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes. She was floating in a void. There were noisy sounds in the distance. She tentatively took two steps forward, and the scenery in front of her became clearer.
The Goddess was arguing with someone. The face of that person was very blurred, as if covered by a thin layer of mist. Ji Yunxi couldn't see his face clearly.
"Don't use your divine power to maintain the world created by the gods."
"If I don't do this, everyone will die." The wind was howling wildly. The world was yellow and hazy. It was impossible to tell the direction or see the way ahead.
"What about you? You will die too."
The Goddess gave a faint smile. "I've walked through a hundred years of spring and autumn in the world, through the shifting of stars and the change of dynasties. I've seen too many prosperous scenes fade away. I clearly remember that I want to protect this world and the smiles on their faces."
Ji Yunxi felt that the person was somewhat familiar. She wanted to get closer to see his face clearly, but suddenly she was sucked backward by a suction force. Then she suddenly woke up from the bed.
"So it's the Goddess?!" Ji Yunxi's eyes turned red, and tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes. Those teardrops were crystal - clear, like mirrors. Ji Yunxi seemed to see the past scenes being displayed one by one.
She remembered. She remembered everything. The stars in the sky were shining brightly, and a crescent moon shed a cold and clear light. She ran wildly in the night, and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the air.
Ji Yunxi stood at the door of Feng Xingzhi. She wiped away her tears. Just as she raised her hand, the door was opened.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her looking absent - minded, Feng Xingzhi quickly put on his clothes and came out. There were still people sleeping in the room at this time. Feng Xingzhi pulled her and stood in the yard.
"I remembered. All of it. I remembered everything." Ji Yunxi was at a loss and murmured to herself.
"Don't be in a hurry. Take your time to tell me." Feng Xingzhi's voice seemed to have a magic power that calmed her emotions. The moonlight poured down on the two of them, gilding them with a layer of silver light. Fireflies were flying around in the grass. Everything seemed so peaceful.
Ji Yunxi sat on the stone bench, looked up at the sky, and smiled gently. At this moment, she was the Goddess who protected the world.
This was a story from a very long time ago, so long that others thought it was just a myth used to scare children.
This world was created by divine power, and the people in this world were all descendants of the Jiuli tribe.
The divine race was divided into three parts. The Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor joined hands to fight against Chiyou. After the Battle of Zhuolu, Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, was killed in battle. The Jiuli tribe was thus regarded as aliens. The Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor sealed the Jiuli people who were unwilling to submit to Xuanyuan and Shennong in a small world created by divine power.
The princess of the Xuanyuan clan entered the world created by the gods to inherit the legacy of her mother, the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Lady, and protect the Jiuli people. She exhausted her divine essence to maintain the stability of the world created by the gods and her soul was scattered.
"You are..." The answer in Feng Xingzhi's heart was on the tip of his tongue. He just felt a sharp pain in his heart and was reluctant to say those words for a long time.
"I am the Goddess, that is, the princess of the Xuanyuan clan."
After Ji Yunxi's soul was scattered, it was Feng Xingzhi who used half of his own divine power to keep her soul, so that she could be reborn.
And her own divine power was naturally incompatible with Feng Xingzhi's divine power from the Huaxu clan. So when her own divine power first returned, she would have a splitting headache.
The return of Ji Yunxi's divine power also meant the turmoil of the world created by the gods. This was also the reason for the frequent natural disasters.
After listening, Feng Xingzhi fell into deep thought. Ji Yunxi's return of divine power in the past few days might be because the sky on the horizon was broken, so part of the divine power that maintained the stability returned to her.
"Xixi, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know that I had caused you so much harm. I really wish I could bear this pain for you." Feng Xingzhi hugged her tightly. The always cold - looking man's eyes turned red.
"No, you saved me. You are not wrong. Fortunately, we didn't miss each other. From now on, I never want to be separated from you again." Ji Yunxi's voice was choked with sobs. Feng Xingzhi felt a warm wetness on his shoulder.
"Don't cry." Feng Xingzhi gently wiped away her tears. "The situation is not optimistic. Let's call everyone together first."
The two of them went to wake everyone up respectively. Everyone was sleepy. Although their rest was disturbed, they all knew that there must be something important to be announced so late, so no one complained.
Looking at the trusting expressions of everyone, Ji Yunxi was even more determined to protect them.
"Master, what happened that you woke us up so urgently?" Qing Xuan yawned and looked at Ji Yunxi in a daze.
Ji Yunxi didn't answer directly. She first glanced at Feng Xingzhi. After Feng Xingzhi nodded at her, she said, "Jiang Yaoji and her elder brother Jiang Yanjü are not from this world. They are the real gods."
"What? How could this be?"
"Is it true? It must be a lie."
"This is too absurd!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to talk animatedly, looking at Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi in disbelief.
The previous cognition was overthrown, and the world had changed dramatically. Everyone's heart was filled with shock and uneasiness. It was the confusion about the future. Ji Yunxi could understand this feeling very well.
"Everyone, please calm down. Please be quiet. I'll tell you a story."
Ji Yunxi told everyone about the past again. This time, her tone was very calm, as if she was just narrating a sad and beautiful myth.
After everyone listened, they all closed their mouths involuntarily. Their eyes looking at Ji Yunxi were instantly filled with admiration.
"Master, are you and Feng Xingzhi more powerful than Jiang Yanjü and Jiang Yaoji?" Qing Xuan asked Ji Yunxi a very crucial question.
"Originally, we were evenly matched. But most of my divine power is now used to maintain the stability of this world, and part of Xingzhi's divine power is still unknown where it is." Ji Yunxi said as she glanced at Feng Xingzhi. There was a hint of imperceptible loss in her tone.
Looking at the helpless crowd, she frowned slightly, her face pale. A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
Feng Xingzhi stepped forward and secretly pinched her hand to give her strength. Ji Yunxi subconsciously held his hand tightly.
"Qing Xuan is willing to follow the Goddess to the death and advance and retreat with the Goddess!" Qing Xuan knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed his head respectfully. The people below echoed in unison and all shouted the slogan of following the Goddess. Seeing this scene, Ji Yunxi's nose twitched. A warm current surged in her chest. She raised her head and held back her tears.
"Then I'll have to trouble everyone. Yunxi will surely live up to everyone's expectations!" Ji Yunxi bowed deeply to everyone. Tears fell from her eyes, splashing out hot teardrops. When Feng Xingzhi saw this scene, his heart tightened.
