It's hard to tell how much time has passed. A streak of azure dawn appeared on the horizon, and the light pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the earth.
"It's already bright out!"
"It seems I need a titanium alloy kidney!"
Hode sat on the hood of the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The corners of his exhausted face lifted slightly, though his left hand, propping him up, still trembled.
He struggled to pull a ZIPOO from his pocket. A flickering flame ignited.
This experience was likely one Hode would never forget.
"Hah..."
Hode took a deep drag from his cigarette.
Once again, driving a Cayenne seemed to summon women from the heavens.
This time, even a superhero dropped in.
He turned to glance at the windshield behind him, his gaze softening a bit.
Wanda lay there with her eyes shut tight, likely too tired to stay awake.
**[Ding! You've had a wonderful night!]**
**[Reward Received: Fragment of Phoenix Power (No Will)!]**
Just as Hode was savoring the afterglow of the night, a system panel suddenly appeared before him. The unexpected appearance of the system panel took a moment for his weary mind to register.
"Wait, I actually gained a fragment of Phoenix Power?!"
Hode was stunned. He never expected this night would come with a reward!
He had thought that to truly enjoy life, one must embrace every experience it offers. Thus, he tried everything the world had to offer.
Besides, he had also engaged in activities like mountain racing, skydiving, and extreme biking. Essentially, he sought out anything that could make life more exciting.
And he had indeed gained plenty of rewards.
But he never imagined he would acquire Phoenix Power this time.
What is Phoenix Power!?
Phoenix Power is a universal, omnipotent force!
It's the embodiment of the primal forces of cosmic life and emotional power!
No matter which universe it exists in, Phoenix Power is the most potent entity!
It's one of the forces that countless beings revere, capable of slicing through or reshaping any part of the universe.
It can even completely obliterate it, incinerating what should be discarded—this is called the Phoenix's Judgment.
Descriptively, Phoenix Power is the personification of all things' fervor; sparks bring life to the universe, while flames ultimately lead to its destruction.
At its peak, Phoenix Power is even more formidable than the five great deities!
Though he only received a fragment of it, Hode could distinctly feel a surging, terrifying energy flowing within him.
This very power even seemed to cleanse his body!
In the next moment, an image of a fiery red phoenix emerged in his mind.
As soon as the phoenix materialized, it bore down on him with an overwhelming pressure that rushed toward him.
