Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Chapter 114: Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven Part 114

It was already bright when Lingyan woke up. She opened her eyes and looked out the window at the sunlit earth, feeling a little dazed.

"I actually survived? This wasn't a dream?" she murmured to herself, pinching her arm in disbelief to confirm that everything was real.

The last time she woke up, she had been on the verge of death for a long time. At that time, she was covered with wounds and on the verge of death. She barely managed to grab a glimmer of hope and barely escaped the pursuit. But she never thought that she would be able to wake up safely.

Ling Yan sighed and slowly sat up. She looked around and found herself lying in an exquisite bedroom. The furnishings here were luxurious and the air was filled with a faint floral scent. It was obviously located in a high-end mansion.

"Where am I?" She frowned in confusion. The last time she remembered, she was on the run, but she didn't know why she was here. Did someone save her?

Just when Ling Yan was full of doubts, a woman in palace dress walked in respectfully.

"Madam, you are finally awake. That's great." The woman said with joy on her face.

"Madam?" Ling Yan was stunned and at a loss, "Are you referring to me?"

"Of course it's you. You are our supreme goddess, Emperor Phoenix, how could it not be you?" the woman said with awe.

Ling Yan was stunned. Goddess Emperor Phoenix? She had never heard of this title. Was all this a huge misunderstanding? She was just an ordinary fugitive, how could she be called Goddess Emperor Phoenix?

Seeing Ling Tang's confusion, the woman quickly explained: "Madam, have you lost your memory? We all thought you died in that crisis, but we didn't expect that you miraculously survived. We are all ecstatic that you are safe."

"Amnesia?" Ling Yan frowned. "I am indeed a little confused about my identity, but I am not the goddess or the phoenix you mentioned. I am just an ordinary fugitive."

The woman couldn't help but take a deep breath when she heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. After a while, she stammered, "Madam, are you kidding? You are our widely worshipped Holy Empress, how can you call yourself an ordinary fugitive?"

Ling Yan shook her head in confusion. She really didn't understand what was going on, nor could she comprehend what the woman in front of her was saying. Goddess, Emperor Phoenix? Empress? What did all this mean?

Seeing this, the woman hurried forward to support Ling Yan and said anxiously: "Madam, you must have lost your memory due to trauma. But it doesn't matter, we will definitely help you recover your memory as soon as possible. Don't worry, you are safe now, we are here to take care of you."

Ling Yan remained silent, her heart filled with doubts and confusion. Where was she? Who was she? What was going on? The woman's words left her even more confused.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a man in a dragon robe walked in. He looked solemn, with deep worry between his brows.

"Madam, you finally woke up." The man walked quickly to Lingyan's bed and asked anxiously, "Are you okay? We are all very worried."

"Who are you?" Ling Yan looked at the strange man in front of her with caution. Although he didn't seem to have any bad intentions, she still unconsciously became wary. After all, in this strange situation, she was not sure who the real enemy was.

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then he said solemnly: "Madam, you have indeed lost your memory. I am the Emperor and your husband."

"What?" Ling Yan's eyes widened, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief. She was actually the emperor's wife? How was this possible?

Seeing Ling Yan's astonishment, the man frowned, his eyes showing deep worry. He stepped forward and held Ling Yan's hand, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Madam, you must believe me. We have been married for many years, and you are the most respected and sacred empress in the entire dynasty. I just learned that you lost your memory during that crisis. You must have been plotted against by the enemy. But please don't worry, I will do my best to help you restore your memory."

Ling Yan stared blankly at the man in front of her who claimed to be the emperor, with mixed feelings in her heart. He really seemed to care about her, and his words were not false at all. Could she really be the "Goddess Emperor Phoenix" that this man was talking about? However, all this was too bizarre, and she really couldn't believe it.

Seeing that Ling Yan was still confused, the man sighed and continued calmly: "Madam, I know all this must be unbelievable to you. But please believe me, these are all facts. I really love you and have never lied to you at any time. I will do my best to help you restore your memory and let you understand your identity again."

Ling Yan hesitated for a moment before she asked softly, "What do you mean by 'Goddess and Emperor Phoenix'? I have never heard of such a title."

The man and the woman beside him looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces. He hesitated for a moment before explaining: "This is an ancient myth. According to legend, there is a most noble goddess in heaven. She has supreme power and can control yin and yang and everything. And you are the incarnation of this goddess, the most sacred queen of our entire dynasty."

"So that's it." Ling Yan nodded thoughtfully. If all this was true, then her current situation made sense.

"Madam, you must believe that what we say is true." The man who claimed to be the emperor held Ling Yan's hand tightly, and said sincerely, "We all care about you sincerely. You are now safe in the palace. I will do my best to protect you, so that you can regain your memory and identity and become our goddess empress again."

Ling Yan remained silent, as if she was lost in thought. She was full of doubts, not knowing whether she should believe the words of this strange man. But looking at his affectionate eyes, she felt a sense of familiarity.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside. The woman from before rushed in again with a panicked look on her face, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Something happened in the hall! The enemy soldiers have broken through the outer defense line and are approaching here rapidly!"

"What?" The man frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "How dare you wreak havoc in my palace?"

He immediately stood up and said to the woman in a deep voice: "Quickly notify all the guards to gather here. I want to meet the enemy in person!"

The woman left, leaving Lingyan and the man alone. The man turned around and looked at Lingyan, saying seriously, "Madam, there are enemies outside. I have to go and fight them myself. You must stay here and don't leave without permission. This is the safest place. I will send someone to escort you throughout the trip. You have to believe me, I will protect you."

Ling Yan was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Although she still had doubts about all this, she couldn't help but feel a certain resonance when she saw the man's serious expression.

After a moment, the man turned around and walked quickly out the door. Before leaving, he turned back and said sincerely: "Madam, no matter what happens, please believe me. I will do my best to stop the enemy's invasion for your country, and I will definitely fight for you!"

After saying that, he rushed out without looking back, leaving Ling Yan alone in the room to ponder.

At this moment, Ling Yan's heart was full of contradictions and confusion. Everything this man said made her feel extremely incredible. Who was she? How did she become the sacred empress of this country? And why did she lose her memory at this time?

Questions came one after another like a raging river, making Ling Yan breathless. She frowned tightly, trying to find a clue from her chaotic memory. However, when she tried to recall, there was only a blank in her mind.

Could it be that she was really the "Goddess Emperor Phoenix" that this man had mentioned? However, all this was too bizarre, and she really couldn't believe it. In this unfamiliar environment, she felt unprecedented anxiety and helplessness.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again. A general in battle robes walked in quickly, his face full of tension.

"Madam, the situation is urgent. The enemy has rushed to the gate of the palace, and His Majesty is fighting with them. You must immediately follow me to evacuate the palace and go to a safe place!"

Ling Yan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Is there something wrong with His Majesty the Emperor?"

"We are doing our best to support your majesty, but the enemy is too strong and I'm afraid the situation is very unfavorable." The general said anxiously, "So you must leave immediately. We will escort you to a safe place."

Hearing this, Ling Yan's heart tightened. Although she was confused about her current situation, the anxious look of the general in front of her really made her feel a little worried. Could it be that the man who claimed to be the emperor was really in danger?

"Okay, I understand." Ling Yan took a deep breath and said with determination, "Then please take me away from here."

The general heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Thank you for your cooperation, ma'am. We will set off now."

After saying that, he hurried forward to support Ling Yan and carefully led her out of the room.

At this time, the entire palace was filled with a tense atmosphere. The shouts of soldiers and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard everywhere, and it was obvious that the battle had spread to the palace.

Ling Yan looked at the chaos around her and couldn't help but feel nervous. Although she still had doubts about her identity, the scene before her had forced her to seriously consider what the man said. Could she really be the person called "Goddess Emperor Phoenix"?

Just as she was struggling, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the front. A palace collapsed instantly, and smoke and dust rose up.

"Oh no! The enemy has already reached here!" The general was startled and quickly drew his sword to block Ling Yan.

A group of warriors dressed in black slowly walked out from the smoke and dust. They stood up solemnly and stared at Ling Yan with sharp eyes.

"That's her!" said the leading warrior coldly, "Our master will personally capture this so-called 'Goddess Emperor Phoenix'. Don't let her escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad warriors pounced on him like hounds.

The general shouted loudly and swung his sword to fight with them. Seeing this, Ling Yan's heart tightened. Although she didn't understand what was going on, it was obvious that these people were hunting her down as if she were some important person. It seemed that her current situation was not peaceful at all.

Ling Yan quickly followed the general and quickened her pace, trying to find a chance to escape during the battle. However, those black-clad warriors were too fierce, and they broke through the general's defense and chased Ling Yan.

"Madam, run!" the general yelled and fought the enemy with all his might.

Ling Yan didn't have time to think about it and had to turn around and run. But those black-clad warriors were swift and soon caught up with her.

"Catch her!" the leading warrior shouted, "We can't let her escape!"

At this moment, a warrior in golden armor suddenly appeared in front of him.
