Chapter 882: Two Worlds Shuttle, Identity Revealed
The blood-red setting sun stretched Yun Yao's figure into a slender figure. She stood at the entrance to the dual-world passage, gazing at the swirling chaotic mist within, a mixture of emotions welling up within her. Everything in the modern world seemed to be still before her eyes: her parents' worried faces, the smell of hospital disinfectant, all in stark contrast to the spiritual energy and strife of the cultivation world. Chu Mochen stood quietly behind her, the power of the Candle Dragon bloodline coursing through him, adding a touch of solemnity to the silent moment.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Yao slowly stepped into the hallway. A chaotic mist instantly enveloped her, her body tugged at by countless forces, yet protected by her Chaos Dao Foundation, she remained unharmed. A moment later, the mist dissipated, revealing a familiar hospital room. White walls, ticking instruments, and two familiar figures beside the bed—her parents, standing guard over the unconscious "Su Yao."
"Xiaoyao, when will you wake up..." her mother whispered softly, her voice full of fatigue and worry. Her father held her hand silently, his eyes full of self-blame and regret.
Yun Yao's eyes instantly moistened. She gently walked to the bedside and reached out to touch her parents, but found that her hand could pass directly through their bodies. It turned out that she was only existing in the modern world in a spiritual state.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here..." Her voice was choked with sobs, but her parents couldn't hear her.
At this moment, as if sensing something, her mother suddenly stood up and pulled out an ancient wooden box from the depths of the closet. She opened the box, revealing a jade pendant engraved with strange patterns. Yun Yao's pupils suddenly constricted; the patterns on the jade pendant were exactly the same as her own Void Jade!
"Xiaoyao, do you know? This jade pendant is an heirloom of the Su family. It's said to be waiting for the return of the Void Spirit Envoy..." Mother gently stroked the jade pendant, tears dripping onto it. "Before his death, your grandfather said that the Su family has been the gravekeepers of Tiandao Pavilion for generations, and being the Void Spirit Envoy is our Su family's mission..."
Yun Yao took a step back in shock, countless fragments of memories flooding back into her mind. She recalled the stone tablet she'd found in Falling Star Canyon, inscribed with oracle bone script. She also recalled System Lord's words, saying she was the "Restorer of Heavenly Dao" chosen by the head of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. It turned out all of this had been foreshadowed long before her family's generations.
At this moment, the air in the ward suddenly grew heavy, and a dark shadow flashed through the window, directly rushing towards the unconscious "Su Yao". Yun Yao reacted extremely quickly, and the chaotic spiritual energy instantly condensed, turning into a barrier in front of the dark shadow.
"Who?!" she asked coldly.
The shadows dissipated, revealing an old man in a black robe. His face was covered in strange runes, and his eyes gleamed with greed. "The Void Body... is indeed here! The Tiandao Pavilion has been searching for you for so long, and I've finally found you!" The old man grinned, a dagger engraved with cursed runes appearing in his hand. "If I can take your soul and present it to the Pavilion Master, I will become the next Void Envoy!"
Yun Yao sneered, and the power of her Chaos Dao Foundation erupted, instantly enveloping the entire ward in a chaotic aura. "Just you?" She raised her hand and swung it, sending a stream of Chaos Sword Qi piercing the old man's vitals.
However, the old man didn't dodge, instead revealing a strange smile. The next second, Yun Yao's parents suddenly stood in front of the old man, their eyes dull, clearly being controlled.
"Stop!" Yun Yao was horrified and quickly retracted her sword energy.
The old man seized the opportunity to launch an attack, using the cursed talisman as a chain to entangle Yun Yao's soul. "Follow me, ethereal being..." He laughed triumphantly.
Just as Yun Yao felt a sharp pain in her soul and was about to be completely bound by the chains, a golden light descended from the sky and severed all the chains. Chu Mochen appeared in the ward, the Ni Lin Blood Sword emitting a cold aura. The pressure of the Candle Dragon bloodline made the old man's face turn pale instantly.
"Prince Zhulong! How could you..." The old man stepped back in horror.
Chu Mochen ignored him and looked at Yun Yao, his eyes full of concern. "Are you okay?"
Yun Yao shook her head and turned her gaze towards her parents who were being held captive. "Save them first!"
Chu Mochen nodded, and the Candle Dragon's blood transformed into a ray of light, merging into the bodies of Yun Yao's parents. A moment later, the two regained consciousness and looked at the sudden appearance of Chu Mochen and Yun Yao, who was surrounded by a chaotic aura, with shock on their faces.
"Xiaoyao, this is..." the father said tremblingly.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Dad, Mom, I am Su Yao, but I am not Su Yao... I am the Void Spirit Envoy, the Lord of the Star Realm, and I will tell you all this slowly..."
At this moment, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and an illusory figure emerged from it. It was a white-haired old man with a kind face, but with an aura of majesty without anger.
"Descendants of the Su family have finally waited for this day..." The old man's voice was filled with emotion. "I was the Su family's first gravekeeper and the Grand Elder of the Tiandao Pavilion back then. Back then, the Void Envoy tried to stop the Tiandao Pavilion's conspiracy, but was plotted against by the Pavilion Master and her soul was shattered. Our Su family has guarded the reincarnation of the Void Envoy for generations, waiting for the day she returns..."
Yun Yao stared at the old man in shock, her heart filled with turmoil. It turned out that her time travel, her mission, had been predetermined a thousand years ago.
"Now, you have grown into a person capable of opposing the Tiandao Pavilion, but the road ahead is still full of dangers." The old man turned his gaze to Chu Mochen, "Prince Zhulong, the Void Envoy and you share the same twin origins. Only by joining forces can you truly change all this."
Chu Mochen nodded solemnly. "I will protect her with my life."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, his figure gradually fading. "Remember, the Tiandao Pavilion's conspiracy goes far beyond this. The threat from the divine realm is imminent. Only by uniting all forces can we protect this world..."
After the old man's figure completely disappeared, Yun Yao looked at the jade pendant in her hand, then at her parents. "Dad, Mom, I need your help. The modern world is about to face a resurgence of spiritual energy, and ordinary people will face unprecedented challenges. I hope you can join me in protecting this world."
The parents looked at each other, a look of determination flashing in their eyes. "Xiaoyao, no matter what you do, we support you!"
Yun Yao hugged her parents with a wave of emotion. At that moment, she finally understood her responsibility. She was not only the master of the Star Realm and a Void Spirit Envoy, but also a descendant of the Su family and a warrior protecting the modern world.
In the distant Taixu Immortal Realm, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion watched everything unfolding within the crystal ball, a sneer curling his lips. "Ethereal Envoy, Prince Zhulong, I'll let you roam around a little longer... When the power of the divine realm descends, you will ultimately be devoured..."
A bigger crisis is quietly approaching...
