Before seeing Wu Fengji, Jean's heart was already uneasy, but after seeing the last Phoenix host she killed in her dream with her own eyes, Jean felt that she must have foreseen the future.
Kytheron would die, and the entire Universe would be destroyed; that terrifying nightmare would gradually become a reality.
"Nur, where did Master go? I have something very important and must find him immediately."
Jean asked Nur, who was standing beside Wu Fengji, with great anxiety.
"Your Highness Jean, Master's whereabouts are not something I can know. If you have any urgent matters, you can wait for him in Master's temple."
Although Nur saw Jean's anxious look and felt that the problem she encountered was probably not a small matter, he had no way to help.
After all, a being like Kytheron might transfer to another Universe with just a thought. He was just Kytheron's servant; how could he know Master's whereabouts?
"You are also a host of the Phoenix Force, aren't you!"
At this moment, Wu Fengji took the initiative to walk up to Jean and said.
Jean, however, looked at the person she killed in her dream, somewhat unsure how to speak.
In the dream, the group of Phoenix hosts who had traveled from various Multiverse had fought tirelessly until they all perished!
And the Phoenix Force within them had flowed into her and the woman named Wu Fengji before her.
When she discovered that Kytheron had been killed by that terrifying Loki, in order to exact revenge, she extinguished the last trace of kindness in her heart, hardened her resolve, killed Wu Fengji, and then allowed the complete Phoenix to reappear in the Multiverse, perishing together with that Loki.
"You should leave here quickly!"
With inner turmoil, Jean decided to make the first change, which was to let Wu Fengji leave first.
Then, she would tell Kytheron about the chaotic battle of many Phoenixes she saw in her dream, so he could stop it.
This way, the Universe space would not shatter, and that terrifying Loki would not appear, and her Master would not die, so the calamity in her dream would cease to exist.
"I do want to leave, but that God-King Your Highness won't allow it!"
Wu Fengji smiled bitterly and shook her head, indicating that it wasn't that she was unwilling, but that their God-King Your Highness wouldn't let her go.
"Master won't let you leave? Why is that?" Jean was somewhat puzzled.
"Because he said a grand play is about to begin, and I might just be an actor in this play!"
Wu Fengji was a little helpless. She had originally come to investigate the truth behind the Phoenix Force's loss of control within her, but unexpectedly, she had stepped into this huge quagmire and couldn't extricate herself.
"Could Master already know something?"
"Absolutely. With the power Master wields, he must have already seen the impending cosmic war."
"But if that's the case, why hasn't Master made any preparations? And where exactly is Master right now?"
Jean suddenly felt like she understood some things, but then felt even more confused!
"It seems that the final act of this cosmic play prepared by your Master will be sung by you!"
"What a lucky person!"
At this moment, Wu Fengji suddenly exclaimed to Jean.
Ever since she discovered that Jean was also a host of the Phoenix Force, combined with her address to Kytheron, Wu Fengji instantly believed this was a grand scheme set up by Kytheron.
Using that strange power called Willpower as bait, to attract the Phoenix Force scattered throughout the entire Multiverse to gather here.
Then, to catch them all in one go, ultimately to elevate this Phoenix junior before her.
Regrettably, Wu Fengji, who believed she had seen through everything, had no way to counter it.
Tiny ants cannot shake a towering tree, and a weak praying mantis's arm cannot stop a rolling chariot.
Before Kytheron, her strength was perhaps no stronger than that of an ant, while Kytheron was that World Tree that spanned the Universe.
"Do you know something?"
Jean didn't understand what Wu Fengji meant, but anyone who wasn't a fool could tell from her tone that all of this seemed to be related to her.
Her Master seemed to be planning something for her.
"You don't know? That shouldn't be! Shouldn't your Master have informed you of such a thing in advance, giving you time to prepare thoroughly?"
Seeing the genuine confusion on Jean's face, Wu Fengji suddenly felt a trace of doubt about her own conjecture.
"Could it be!"
Instantly, Wu Fengji thought of an even more terrifying conjecture.
Perhaps they were all just supporting characters in this grand play, and the one truly desiring the complete Phoenix Force was that God-King Your Highness.
The more Wu Fengji thought about it, the more she felt that this conjecture of hers was the closest to the truth.
After all, the power possessed by a complete Phoenix is completely immeasurable; no one could resist the temptation of such immense power!
Even that God-King Your Highness who already seemed incredibly powerful.
After realizing this, Wu Fengji's gaze towards Jean couldn't help but carry a trace of pity.
"What a naive and pathetic child. You probably can't even imagine that your dearest Master is plotting for the Phoenix Force within you!"
"Perhaps he chose to take you as a disciple precisely because of the Phoenix Force!"
"It was a lie from the very beginning, and yet you were completely unaware, still treating him as your most trusted Master. How pitiful and tragic."
"It seems that what Shou Lao once said about his own kind all being insidious and cruel schemers and ambitious individuals was true."
At this moment, Kytheron's entire image completely collapsed in Wu Fengji's eyes.
One must know that these days she had been following this priest named Nur, listening to him constantly recount Kytheron's greatness.
Originally, Wu Fengji had even begun to slowly dispel some of her fear of Kytheron, and had even, unknowingly, developed a sense of admiration.
Now, not only was the Phoenix within her terrified, but she herself was also extremely frightened.
She looked at Nur beside her with deep wariness, feeling that she must have been subtly influenced mentally by this fellow before.
It's a pity she didn't consider that the Phoenix Force itself is the progenitor of manipulating thoughts and consciousness. If Nur could influence her, then the Phoenix within her would be given away for nothing!
However, the current Wu Fengji was already blinded by the 'truth' she had concocted in her mind, completely unwilling to consider anything else.
Jean, on the other hand, looked at this woman, who could be considered an elder of Earth, with a bewildered and confused expression.
Although Wu Fengji's inner thoughts were not spoken aloud, Jean still read some different meanings from her expression: pity, fear, and despair.
Jean didn't know what was wrong with the other party; she felt as if she had gone mad mid-sentence, and couldn't bring herself to ask the questions she wanted to!
At this moment, Jean felt it was better to honestly go to the temple and wait for Kytheron's return, after all, nothing had happened yet, and the scenes in the dream were just a dream.
