Lia slowly opened her eyes…

The ceiling above her was unfamiliar, and the room was quiet, partially dark, with heavy curtains blocking the light.

She tried to move, but her body immediately stopped her, a sharp pain shooting through her shoulder and lower abdomen.

“Don’t move.”

She froze.

That voice…

Slowly, she turned her eyes to the side and found him there.

Maximus.

Sitting nearby calmly… he was different from usual, though she couldn’t tell exactly what had changed about him.

She stayed sil

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "We have finally found you."

    The golden threads suddenly tightened around the entity's soul.A sharp scream erupted, shaking the entire Sea of Consciousness.The surrounding darkness began to crack apart gradually, while the ancient symbols scattered throughout the void trembled violently.But Lia did not even blink.She looked at it with complete coldness.The entity struggled violently to break free.Black energy burst from it in successive waves, attempting to tear apart the golden threads.However, the ancient symbols shone even brighter the more it resisted."Impossible...!" the entity shouted in rage."These seals disappeared long ago!"Lia slowly approached it.One step.Then another.The entire Sea of Consciousness trembled with each movement she made."Disappeared?"She raised her hand directly toward its face."You simply failed to find anyone capable of using them."The entity froze for a moment.Then its vertical eye narrowed violently."You belong to that bloodline..."Silence.Lia did not answer.Bu

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "You deceived me?!"

    "What are you trying to do?"Lia froze for a moment.The voice was clearer than before.It was no longer just distorted whispers inside her head.It sounded completely conscious now.She slowly opened her eyes.Then she said coldly,"Get rid of you."Silence filled the room for a few seconds.Then—a low laugh echoed inside her mind.Distorted.Heavy."How unfortunate."The black energy inside her dantian trembled violently.The floor beneath Lia cracked even further, while the defensive formation shook for a moment.But she did not stop.She pushed her energy toward the black mass once again, trying to separate it completely.At the same time—the black energy began wrapping itself around her mana thread.Trying to devour it.Lia immediately narrowed her eyes.Then she severed the connection at once before the energy could reach the center of her dantian.She took a slow breath."You're trying to consume my mana?""I am merely examining it."Silence returned.Lia lowered her gaze sli

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "Similar to the energy of demons"

    Everyone froze as they looked at her.But Lia did not care.Her eyes remained fixed on the dark opening inside the black mass.The voice did not stop.It kept repeating inside her head slowly.Words incomprehensible to others.But she understood them clearly.Her grip tightened on the sword.Leonard noticed immediately."Lia."No response.The black mass trembled again.Then the internal opening began to slowly close.The symbol disappeared completely.And the sound stopped abruptly.Silence fell.Ross finally exhaled after long tension."It's… over?"No one answered.Lia stayed in place for a few seconds before stepping back.Then—She suddenly fell onto one knee."Lia!" Leonard immediately moved toward her.Blood leaked again from the corner of her mouth.Her breathing became heavier and slower than before.But she pushed his hand away when he tried to touch her and said coldly:"Don't touch me."Leonard froze in place.He stared at her silently for several long seconds.Then said s

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "Since the dawn of the giants"

    Everyone stepped back.Leonard did not move this time, but his grip on the sword tightened.The thing in front of them was no longer stable.It changed every second.It stretched… shrank… then reshaped itself without any clear logic."This… this… is a monster!" Ross said in a low voice.Lia did not respond.Her eyes never left the black mass.She was only observing.Recording every movement.Every vibration.Every irregular pulse.Suddenly, the changes stopped.Then it slowly rose.It was just a gathering mass."Step back." Lia said calmly.There was no fear in her voice.Mila paused for a moment, then quickly retreated.She suddenly bent over—and vomited heavily.She could not look anymore."This is disgusting…" she muttered, wiping her mouth and stepping away, trembling from what she had seen.Ross tightened his sword but did not advance."This is not natural…"All eyes turned toward Lia, the cause of this unusual shift since the appearance of the giants.The slime began to gather

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "The first sign"

    The gate of the wall slowly opened, and the echo of grinding metal stretched behind them as they left toward the outside world for the first time.Beyond the walls, there was nothing resembling life…Only endless broken land, as if it had been crushed under the feet of something enormous that had passed through here again and again.Ruins of ancient towers, shattered stones, and a heavy silence broken only by the wind.The team was small… only four of them.Leonard at the front, steady on his horse, with Mila and Ross on either side, while Lia stayed behind, observing without saying a word.With every step, the tension grew for no clear reason…Until—“There, Commander…” Mila whispered, pointing toward a half-destroyed tower in the distance.In the next moment, the ruins moved.Something massive… slowly rose from between the stones.It wasn’t just a shadow.It was… a Titan.A twisted body, irregular movements, as if it did not belong to this world.It let out a rough scream, shaking t

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "Crossing the boundaries"

    (In order to avoid confusion, I kept the character name “Ila” as “Lia” since it’s already established in your text.)---(I decided to keep her real name instead of “Il” so you don’t get confused. Also, please leave more comments 🤍I love you)A short silence fell over the arena.Taylor didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he kept looking at Lia… but this time, it was different. Not like an instructor looking at a recruit, but like someone who had just discovered something rare.Finally, he said in a low but clear voice:“Pattern modification…?”Then he slowly shook his head.“No.”He paused for a moment, then added:“Or rather… it has never happened before.”Some of the recruits froze in place.He continued:“Everyone who tried either failed… or never lived to tell the story.”He stepped closer to Lia.“The pattern is not just movement… it’s a carefully constructed bomb. Breaking it is possible… but changing it?”He looked directly into her eyes.“That means you’re not destroying it…

  • Heavenly Phoenix   Nivares: Escaping Destiny (2)...

    Lia was no longer holding back. She activated the base of her cultivation and shot out of Estia. If she returned to her wing and they saw the formation Max had left there, it would become a huge problem. She would escape no matter the cost... She had to leave now, before it was too late. The

  • Heavenly Phoenix   Nivares: Escaping Destiny (1)...

    In the Fifth World, asking to postpone marriage had a different meaning...For example:“I have someone I love other than you, and I only want to marry him.”Because of this...Every family whose daughter dared to make this outrageous request...Was burned alive along with all its members...And of

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "Request to postpone marriage"

    Iris returned to her room and stopped in front of the door.She sensed an unnatural aura… could it be that he was here?!She opened the door and found Max sitting at her desk near the corner of the room.He was slightly over 1.90 meters tall, which made the space feel cramped for him.The chair had

  • Heavenly Phoenix   "Tongues of Shadows"

    “Hahaha…”Lya slowly stopped laughing.But her smile did not disappear.Instead, it became calmer… and colder.“Punish me?” she murmured, tilting her head slightly. “It seems you didn’t learn from last time.”Celestia’s gaze sharpened, and the temperature around her dropped noticeably.“Don’t compa
