“Screeeeeeee!!”

  I, the omniscient and infallible phoenix screeched.

  I am the only being of this world who could never be wrong. My words are like physical laws, though even more.

  My body divine and unchanging.

  Every word I say is a gospel. Every movement I make is a dictation of destiny. Every dream I dream is a foreshadowing.

  Others have tried to prove my words wrong, but since I am omniscient and infallible, they couldn’t refute my words.

  It is a non-exciting existence for one to be always correct, but it is who I am.

  To curb my boredom, I left the mountain and arrived at a wizard world…

  Before settling down on a mountain, I listened to a great old one’s teachings. An emancipated figure moved, reaching the sole cushion on top of the stage.

  His voice covered the entire sect, ready to deliver a sermon.

  “For many Magi, magic is the source of all things. But it is only the beginning of the journey. After magic, comes the rules. The physical rules that govern and maintain our world. Without them, our world would be subject to chaos energy, erasing most if not all of life…”

  I listened for a few hours, pleased at his explanation. He made a few great points but… alas it’s still short compared to the limits of their world.

  “Screeeeeeee!!”

  I, the omniscient and infallible phoenix screeched.

  “Master, it’s a divine phoenix!” A little child exclaimed, pointing at my flying figure.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  “No. It’s the infallible divine phoenix. The source of truth!”

  The master shook his head, but then paused briefly. He recalled his problem for many years. Perhaps this time, he could reach that level.

  “Come, my disciples. Let’s greet the divine phoenix!”

  Amidst the countless exclamations, the sect master called his entire sect to gather down the mountain for worship. However, it wasn’t only them who had come.

  Countless beings saw my arrival, and so news had spread out.

  “Did you hear? A phoenix has landed in the Sacred Dao Sect’s ancestor ground, the Dao Mountain, while the entire sect moved to attack the phoenix to defend their lands.”

  “Impossible! It’s the eternal and infallible phoenix. The benevolent phoenix who came from the upper realm that lands on a mountain to answer questions. It has not been seen for millions of years, but now it came. We should go there. Maybe someone will become the first Sage in ten million years!” An old man exclaimed, recalling a profound, ancient secret he had found scrolling in his sect’s history room.

  He immediately grabbed his disciple, then flew towards the Sacred Dao Sect.

  “Really? Let’s go there!”

  In haste, academic institutions, sects, guilds, nations—even beings of the dark faction has come for enlightenment. As if a religious procession, the bottom of the mountain and the surrounding cities were packed. Humans, Demons, Devils, and Buddhas walked alongside each other, in reverence to see such a mythical creature from the ancient times.

  The old sect master, being the first person to come, brought his entire sect to bring gifts and asked for guidance…

  “The eternal, omniscient, and infallible phoenix, I want to ask about the next stage.” The old man, reminiscing. “I’ve been stuck my whole life trying to breakthrough, but I don’t seem to be able to reach the Sage Realm.”

  “Little cultivator. The Sacred Dao Sect is a Sage-level force in this world and you must have the previous sect master’s inheritance, correct?” The sect master nodded.

  “The reason you cannot reach it is because rules are not the next stage. After magic are domains. Ten million years ago, your world underwent a renaissance. Your culture improved, your words and communications shifted to what it is now. Domains became known as rules, leading everyone to the wrong path.”

  “This… how could this be?” Shocked, the old man fell on his knees. Then he remembered that other old supreme wizards used to call modern wizards weak and lacking in comprehension.

  “Translation issues happen. Sometimes he will be come she. America getting called Eagle Country. Spears becoming explosion-propelled weapons.There are too many examples.”

  Confused, the old man could only say his thanks before leaving.
