章 563: May you rest in peace, shameless phoenix!

"Congratulations on winning your second trial, Pyra Noirix," the Mother Goddess spoke in a soft yet commanding tone. She inclined her head slightly, adding, "Tell me the answer you seek."

Standing proud before the towering Origin Pillars, Noirix, exuding strength, declared, "I want to know how to restore the Phoenix clan's glory across the empires!"

"Hmm..." The Mother Goddess's expression flickered with something unreadable as she replied, "Upon the death of Pyra Raven… your Phoenix race will once more blaze across the worlds."

Noirix's eyes widened in shock. "W-Wait, what do you mean—" Before she could finish, the world spun, and she was abruptly cast out from the Origin Pillar chamber.

Determined, Noirix fought through next trial, clawing her way to victory again. With a heart heavy but unyielding, she once more confronted the Mother Goddess.
