Chapter 439: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [439]
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise... but what about the Vermilion Bird deity?"
"The Vermilion Bird deity... that brings us to some of the events of the past."
"Once, in the Divine Realm of the Dragon God, the dragon race was the strongest of all, followed by the phoenix race. At that time, the Phoenix God's power was on par with the Dragon God of the same era. The two races called each other brothers. However, the Phoenix God later rebelled for reasons unknown."
"Under the Dragon God's command were the Nine Dragon Kings, the Dragon Queen, and his brother, the Purple Radiance Heavenly Annihilation Dragon. The Phoenix God also had the Five Phoenix Divine Kings, all of whom were direct descendants of the Phoenix God: the Vermilion Bird, Wanchu, Luansi, Qingluan, and Honghu."
"The war between the two sides nearly tore the Divine Realm apart. However, the dragon side was stronger, and in the end, the phoenix lineage was wiped out."
"As an equal to the Dragon God, the Phoenix God was subdued by the Dragon God and his brother, the Purple Radiance Heavenly Annihilation Dragon. But shortly after the Phoenix God's rebellion, the Dragon Crown Prince was born. Not long after the Dragon Queen's death, the Purple Radiance Heavenly Annihilation Dragon—brother to the Dragon God—rebelled against the Dragon God for unknown reasons and was ultimately destroyed by him."
"After that battle, the Dragon God devoured the core power of the Phoenix God's divine position, gaining the power of creation. This allowed the Dragon God to ascend to the rank of the Supreme Divine King, wielding both destructive and creative powers, becoming an unstoppable force."
"The Phoenix God, like the Dragon God, was originally a partial manifestation of the Vermilion Bird. Their firstborn child, like the Dragon Crown Prince, inherited the full Vermilion Bird bloodline."
"The Phoenix God was once a mighty Divine King, close to the level of the Supreme Divine King, wielding the power of creation. However, after losing the core of their divine position, devoured by the Dragon God, they were reduced to the level of a secondary deity. From that point on, the phoenix—a race second only to the dragons in strength and status in the Divine Realm—completely vanished."
"It can be said that there were originally Four Celestial Spirits in the Divine Realm, each corresponding to a Divine King. However, due to internal conflicts, their balance was broken. When the Four Celestial Spirits coexisted, the stability of the Divine Realm surpassed even the material universe, remaining unaffected by phenomena like spatial storms or black holes."
The God of Arrogance explained all of this in one breath, only to find Chen Ming lost in thought once again.
