Chapter 2773: 2773
When the god phoenix departed, the bridge between the two halves of Two Ape Mountain reverted to its former, lifeless appearance . The branches that had sprouted from it retreated, and its surface began to look like charcoal once more . The black-steel bell stopped moving, too . It hung motionless and silent .
After the phoenix lifted Han Sen into the air, it rocketed forward with blinding speed . This was nothing like the slow, ponderous way the bird had moved when it first approached Two Ape Mountain .
Before Han Sen could say anything, he saw that they were heading toward one of the suns in the sky . The orb glowed with power and heat as they shot recklessly toward it .
They were still some distance from the sun, but Han Sen thought that the incredible heat was about to melt his deified body . He didn’t know what would happen if he entered that glowing orb, and his heart rose into his throat at the thought .
The phoenix flapped its wings, and they shot past the sun, flying deeper into the xenogeneic space . The phoenix accelerated, leaving behind the glowing suns that hung threateningly in the sky . Han Sen looked ahead and saw, in the distant sky, a giant sycamore tree that was growing upside-down .
Han Sen had seen many strange trees in his life before, but he had never seen a tree growing upside-down .
The top of the giant sycamore tree was on the ground, but its roots were growing into the sky . The roots were like a dragon’s beard, all tangled up like a large bird nest .
“People say phoenixes live in sycamore trees . Perhaps this phoenix doesn’t live atop the sycamore tree, but rather, in its roots . ” Han Sen looked at the upside-down growing tree with a strange expression .
The god phoenix soared up to the roots and landed deftly among them . The creature opened its beak, letting Han Sen fall into a knot of roots that looked something like a nest .
Han Sen quickly discovered that the place wasn’t “like” a bird’s nest . It really was a bird’s nest .
In that bird’s nest that was composed of the roots of the tree, Han Sen saw a giant egg that was around ten meters tall . The egg was burning with the same white fire as the phoenix .
“Why have you brought me here? You don’t think I look like a phoenix, do you? You’re not going to raise me as a child, are you?” Han Sen spoke to the phoenix that was now settling down in the nest .
“Of course I know you aren’t a phoenix . Phoenixes don’t give birth to ugly children like you . And this, this is my child,” the phoenix said proudly .
“Then why did you bring me here?” Han Sen let out a long sigh . If he was raised by a phoenix, he would become a phoenix man .
“Your body has traces of a presence that belongs to a member of my race . And I must say, it is a nice one . I’m sure you must have been spending a lot of time with a youngster of my race,” the phoenix said while looking at Han Sen .
“A young phoenix?” Han Sen was shocked . Then he thought of something . With a weird look on his face, he said, “She can’t be talking about the little red bird, can she? The little red bird is a hybrid, though . It isn’t actually a phoenix . ”
Now Han Sen understood why the phoenix was treating him differently . It was because of the little red bird .

“We did spend time together for quite a while . And our relationship is solid . We are kind of like brothers,” Han Sen said seriously .
Han Sen wasn’t going to tell the phoenix that the little red bird was a hybrid . If the phoenix was racist to the hybrid kind, then his special treatment would vanish .
Thinking about how cold and cruel the phoenix appeared when it started eating people, Han Sen shuddered . He sincerely hoped the phoenix wouldn’t have a change of heart and became callous enough to dine on him .
“I thought I was the only phoenix remaining in this universe . I didn’t suspect there was another one of my kind out there in the universe . ” The phoenix looked very happy, but then it said, “If you can, I hope you will be able to help me . Bring that baby phoenix here . ”
“I’m afraid that might be rather difficult . I have been separated from the phoenix for quite a while, and I’m not sure where it is right now… But don’t worry . If you want to see it, I will do my best to find him and bring him to you . If you guys are seeking a reunion, I will do my best to make it happen . A reunion with your family will be a beautiful thing . ” Han Sen could see that the phoenix’s expression was growing a little rigid, so he quickly tried to make his voice sound more positive and certain .
The phoenix looked very happy again . “Don’t just try your best . You must bring him here . ”
“Don’t worry . I will make sure to complete this request,” Han Sen agreed . He wanted to trick the phoenix and leave that xenogeneic space as soon as possible .
Han Sen didn’t know if the phoenix could accept a hybrid . He wouldn’t risk his safety or the little red bird’s by actually bringing it there .

The phoenix seemed very happy . It extended one of its wings, and Han Sen saw a feather that looked very fiery and white fall through the air . The feather seemed to have a life of its own, and it flew before Han Sen .
“This phoenix feather is for you . It is my gift for you . If you complete my request, I will reward you with more,” the phoenix said seriously .
“You are so kind . I’m more than flattered to receive this,” Han Sen said . Then, he grabbed the fire-wreathed feather in his hand . It was a true god class treasure . Even a mere feather from the phoenix would be wildly powerful .
The feather was pure white, almost transparent . The whole thing looked as if it was made of fire, but it wasn’t like a fire that Han Sen couldn’t touch . It was actually solid .
This fire feather was a small piece of an actual phoenix, but it was still only one meter long . When he held it in his hands, though, it looked like a flaming sword . Han Sen grinned widely . He could use the feather as a weapon .
Han Sen was lacking a decent weapon right now . This fire feather was perfect for him . The longer he held it, the more he liked it .
“A fire element fire feather . This should be quite powerful,” Han Sen thought to himself . He wasn’t going to try out the sword there in the phoenix’s nest, though .
After he had examined the gift, Han Sen changed the subject . “Why are you looking for a baby phoenix? I think that the baby bird is substantially weaker than you . ”

Han Sen was speaking the truth . This phoenix had pure ancestry, and it was a born-deified xenogeneic . The little red bird was just a hybrid, and it had been very weak when it was born . Compared to a true god xenogeneic, it was 180,000 miles behind .
The phoenix sighed and said, “Breeding is difficult for our race . There aren’t many of us left, if there are any at all . Up until now, I haven’t been able to find another of my kind . I can’t believe there is a baby bird alive somewhere . For me and my race, this is great news . Once my child is born, they can become a couple . That way, they should be able to breed . ”
Han Sen froze when he heard that . The phoenix wanted to use the little red bird as a breeding machine . It planned for the little red bird to make babies and repopulate the phoenixes .
“Hang on, I don’t even know if the little red bird is male or female,” Han Sen thought . “If they are the same sex, how will they make babies?” Han Sen didn’t say that aloud, however . He only agreed to the request, promising that he would bring the little red bird there .
“If there is nothing else, I will go and search for the little red bird and bring it here . ” Han Sen just wanted to get out of there now .
“There is no rush . Before you leave, there is something very important you must do,” the phoenix said . Then, it spat some fire at Han Sen .
