Chapter 1641 Human From Back Then

“I’ll do whatever it takes to acquire the treasure. Just don’t do anything reckless and foolish before I return.” Yuan shook his head at the Primordial Phoenix’s eagerness to go to war with the dragons.

“Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?” The Primordial Phoenix sneered.

She continued, “Ten years. If you haven’t returned with the treasure by then, we will go there and get it ourselves.”

‘Ten years?’ Yuan smiled inwardly after hearing this generous number. ‘I only plan to stay in this world for another year at most. As if I need ten years!’

“Alright. Ten years.” He agreed to her terms.

“Anyway, I will need some time to prepare before I head to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary. If I go there in my current state—with an incomplete Chaotic Heart, they will definitely suspect my identity.”

The Primordial Phoenix narrowed her gaze on him, seemingly pondering something.

“Since you brought my daughter back to us, we will assist you in that regard,” she suddenly said.

“Eh? Really?” Yuan wasn’t expecting this at all and was pleasantly surprised.

“It’s only a single Chaotic Heart, and it’s your first, so it won’t take much effort.”

“Then I will take up on your offer,” Yuan said.

“…”

“By the way, I have been meaning to ask you this, but how did Feng Feng—your daughter end up in the human world?”

“Are you seriously asking me that? Do you even know anything about the Primal Expanse? Are you really the Primal Monarch’s son?” The Primordial Phoenix suddenly bombarded him with questions.

“Now that you mentioned it, I don’t really know much about the Primal Expanse…” Yuan suddenly came to this realization. freewёbnoνel.com

Despite spending over a hundred years in the Primal Expanse, Yuan hadn’t taken the time to learn much about its intricacies. Instead, he had devoted nearly all his focus to training.

‘I never anticipated that I would be leaving the Primal Expanse so soon back then, so I never really paid attention to the world, and that old booger never told me much about the world, either.’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

“Did the Primal Monarch really not tell you anything about our world? How long have you been living in the Primal Expanse?” The Primordial Phoenix asked.

“I came to the Primal Expanse by accident a little over a year ago,” he said.

“Only a year ago? And you’d become the Primal Monarch’s son in that little time? Something isn’t adding up here.” The Primordial Phoenix frowned.

“It’s a little complicated, but this isn’t my first time to the Primal Expanse.”

“Elaborate.”

‘Since she’s Feng Feng’s mother, I guess telling her the truth is fine. She’d find out eventually, anyway.’

With that in mind, Yuan explained his situation to her.

“I lived in the Primal Expanse for a little bit in my previous life,” he calmly explained.

The Primordial Phoenix’s eyes widened after hearing this.

“Your previous life…? Reincarnation? Wait a minute…”

The Primordial Phoenix suddenly began approaching him, her movements graceful yet deliberate. When she stood directly in front of him, she leaned in, bringing her face so close to his that their lips were just a breath apart, almost touching.

Her gaze was fierce, searing into his face with such intensity that it felt as though her eyes alone could burn him. The heat of her presence was almost overwhelming, like a fire just beneath the surface.

After a tense moment of silence, she abruptly stepped back, her eyes widening in shock as she cried out, “Y-you! No wonder you felt so familiar! You’re that human from back then! The one who appeared out of nowhere and caused chaos in the Primal Expanse for a hundred years before vanishing just as suddenly!” Her voice was filled with both recognition and disbelief.

“Hm? You know me—Tian Yi?” Yuan asked, his brow furrowing as he tried to recall the Primordial Phoenix from Tian Yi’s memories. However, he had fought so many phoenixes during that time that it was impossible to pinpoint her for certain.

“Who in the Primal Expanse hasn’t heard of you back then?” the Primordial Phoenix sneered. “Though I never met you personally, I heard all about your so-called ‘feats’—how you went from territory to territory, beating up the owners individually.” Her voice was laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration as she recalled the stories of his chaotic past.

“As a matter of fact, you also made a mess in the Eternal Phoenix Domain back then!” the Primordial Phoenix continued, her voice rising with frustration. “Unfortunately, I was away when you invaded our territory. By the time I returned, you had already disappeared from the Primal Expanse, so I wasn’t able to exact revenge!” Her eyes burned with fury as she recalled the memory of returning home, only to find her people beaten to a pulp and their treasures plundered. The humiliation and rage she had felt at that moment resurfaced, igniting her anger once more.

“Oh, that was just my training,” Yuan said as he reminisced the past.

“Then why did you take our treasures?!”

“It requires a lot of resources to form Chaotic Hearts, you know? Anyway,” Yuan continued calmly, “while I did take your treasures, I didn’t kill any of the Phoenixes. Besides, you guys were the aggressors. I was simply passing through your territory when your people attacked me first, so you can’t really blame me for defending myself.”

The Primordial Phoenix trembled, but she eventually stopped.

“That explains why the Primal Monarch never showed up to stop you…”

“…”

“Whatever,” the Primordial Phoenix suddenly scoffed, waving her hand dismissively. “That’s all in the past, and I’m not petty enough to hold a grudge over something that happened millions of years ago.” Her tone softened slightly, though the tension in the air lingered.

“Thanks. Now, can you tell me about your daughter’s situation?” Yuan returned to the topic.

“Before that, you should learn more about the Primal Expanse,” she said.

“In that case, allow me to explain.” A third voice suddenly resounded.

“I knew you hadn’t left yet…” the Primordial Phoenix sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “But to snoop around in my private world… I didn’t realize you were this shameless, Primal Monarch.”

Sure enough, a moment later, the Primal Monarch appeared before them, stepping through an entrance he had created himself with a faint smile on his face.
