After a while, they arrived in the Underworld and found Meng Po. Ye Tian asked, "Meng Po, you said Houyi's memory seal has been completely lifted. Is this really true?"
"Then why can't he recall some crucial details?"
"I don't know why either. Maybe he never paid much attention to those things in the first place, so he simply can't remember them."
Ye Tian explained, "How could Houyi forget something like shooting down the suns? That was a pivotal moment in his life."
"That's true. Why would he forget something so important? I find it puzzling as well."
Some people tend to forget trivial matters, but Houyi's case was clearly different.
Back then, Houyi's feat of shooting down the suns had made him a celebrated hero. Logically, such an event should have been deeply ingrained in his memory, impossible to forget.
Yet now, he had indeed forgotten what happened back then.
Ye Tian said, "I think we need to reattempt entering his memory space. If there's a problem, we must resolve it immediately. Don't you agree?"
"But I'll need your help. Last time, I couldn't get out without you, so I'll still have to rely on you this time."
"Alright, in that case, let's get started quickly!"
Meng Po also felt that this matter should not be delayed. Without hesitation, they once again entered Houyi's memory space.
Upon reentering, they noticed that the situation was different from last time. Ye Tian saw that the space had restored itself, but with some noticeable changes.
"It has changed—quite a lot compared to last time."
"But didn't this space shatter before?"
"A reborn space… That's right, this space is a reborn space. This means that even though Houyi's memory space was shattered last time, some of his memories were sealed again after its rebirth. That's why he can't recall important events."
Ye Tian finally understood the reason behind Houyi's memory loss.
"If that's the case, what should we do now?"
Meng Po had more experience with such matters, so Ye Tian turned to her for guidance.
Meng Po said, "What we need to do is simple—destroy this place. If we can destroy it, Houyi's memories might be restored."
"Might be? So it's not guaranteed?"
"Yes, because this space can regenerate. If it reforms after we break it, then it will be meaningless. Still, we must try—if we don't, we won't even have a chance."
"You're right. But how do we destroy this space?"
"Defeat the guardian beast!"
"A guardian beast? There's one here?"
Ye Tian looked around but didn't see any sign of a guardian beast. Just then, a phoenix suddenly appeared.
The phoenix gazed at them and asked, "Who are you, and why have you trespassed into my domain?"
"A phoenix? That's the guardian beast here?"
Ye Tian hadn't expected the guardian beast of this memory space to be a phoenix. He turned to Meng Po and asked, "So I have to defeat this phoenix?"
Ye Tian fixed his eyes on the phoenix and said, "You may not know who we are, but our goal is to defeat you. So prepare yourself for battle!"
"Ridiculous. Do you not realize this is my space, my world? Here, I am in control."
The phoenix then warned, "Think carefully. Do you really want to challenge me? If you change your mind, you can still leave now."
Ye Tian declared, "Giving up isn't in my nature. Fire Phoenix, your misfortune today is encountering me. I must defeat you—only then can I completely destroy this space!"
"Then come, fight me!"
Without hesitation, Ye Tian charged toward the Fire Phoenix.
At that moment, the Fire Phoenix soared into the sky, flapping its wings and unleashing a torrent of crimson flames from its mouth.
"Golden Wind Flames!"
Their energies collided with a deafening explosion that echoed through the space.
The Fire Phoenix was astonished by Ye Tian's strength. Staring at him, it asked, "Who are you? You're far stronger than I expected." Content orıginally comes from novel-fire.net
"That's right. So, do you still think this is your domain where I can't defeat you?"
Ye Tian was determined—he had to win this battle no matter what.
"Unfortunately, no matter how powerful your attacks are, they will not harm me."
"What? No damage at all?"
Ye Tian observed the Fire Phoenix. Sure enough, despite his powerful attack, it had not suffered any injury.
How was that possible?
Meng Po explained, "This is its world. It can control your attacks, making them ineffective against it."
"Then what do we do?"
"Listen carefully. Regular attacks won't work on it, but there is one type of attack that might defeat it!"
"What kind of attack?"
"A spiritual attack. Ye Tian, try using your spiritual power to attack it. That might be the key to defeating the Fire Phoenix!"
If that was the case, then Ye Tian had no choice but to give it a try.
