Chapter 740: The Disaster of the Heavenly Dao Pen (Dual World Finale)
Late at night in the hospital, pale lights flickered in the silent corridors, seemingly powerless to resist the encroaching darkness. Yun Yao sat by the window of her ward, the dim light from the computer screen illuminating her exhausted yet resolute face. Her fingers moved mechanically across the keyboard, and finally, as the last character landed, she breathed a sigh of relief—she had finished writing the story of the modern world.
However, before she could recover from the afterglow of her creation, the Heavenly Dao Pen in her hand suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail. Yun Yao peered closely, only to see the crystal-clear lotus petals at the tip of the pen begin to crumble like shattered glass. The cracks spread rapidly like a hideous spider web. At the same time, the System Lord's tearful voice exploded in her mind: "Host, something terrible is happening! The laws of narrative are about to collapse! The Holy Maiden Youyue has planted an 'Anti-Heavenly Dao Virus' in the Origin World. She has long intended to plunge every story you've ever written into an unsolvable paradox, leading to its destruction!"
Yun Yao's heart sank suddenly, and a chill shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She stood up suddenly, only to find that the hospital corridor had become a strange Shura field. The ward door, which had been tightly closed, was now as if pushed open by a pair of invisible hands at the same time. The creaking sound echoed in the dead silent space, making people shudder. Then, one "Yun Yao" after another filed out from behind the door. They were dressed differently and had different expressions, but they all carried the same madness - the princess in ancient costume, holding a blood-stained sword in her hand, the cold light on the sword seemed to be able to cut through the void; the modern Su Yao, with messy hair and empty eyes, her hands were still tapping on the empty keyboard, making an eerie clicking sound; the messenger from the fairy world, surrounded by broken fragments of laws, the light flickered, as if it would go out of control and hurt people at any time. They approached Yun Yao step by step, muttering: "Since you want to end the story, then let's destroy it together!"
Upon seeing this, Chu Mochen stepped forward without hesitation, blocking Yun Yao's path. Instantly, his Divine Court Soldier Soul fully and unreservedly manifested for the first time. It was a peerless divine sword, forged from three thousand laws. Its blade shone with a chilling cold light, seemingly capable of devouring all light. Yun Yao's name was prominently engraved upon the hilt, as if to testify to his unwavering protection for millennia. Chu Mochen, wielding the divine weapon with awe-inspiring power, pointed his sword at the "Yun Yaos," possessing the power to stand against ten thousand.
But Yun Yao's face was troubled. Her hands trembled, and her eyes were filled with pain and struggle. "These are all my clones. They carry my memories and emotions from various worlds. How could I bear to kill them?"
Chu Mochen turned to look at Yun Yao, his eyes as firm as a torch: "Then rewrite their fate! Yao'er, the Heavenly Dao Pen in your hand possesses the power of creation. It will surely open up a new path for you in every world line!"
Yun Yao heard this, slowly closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. In an instant, memories came flooding back like a raging flood. Those fragments of stories, abandoned settings, and unfilled holes that she had buried deep in her heart emerged one by one.
She recalled the deleted storyline of her cold palace resurgence—in the inner courtyard of the palace, Yun Yao, clad in tattered clothes, huddled in a corner of the cold palace, surrounded by endless darkness and cold. But the fire in her eyes never extinguished. With wisdom and courage, she skillfully maneuvered among the concubines, exploiting their conflicts and gradually eliminating her enemies. Eventually, she emerged from the cold palace, reclaiming her own honor. From the peak of the palace walls, she gazed down upon the world, causing the very world that imprisoned her to change color.
And then there's the unfinished story of a master-disciple romance: atop a misty celestial mountain, Yun Yao, clad in plain attire, devotedly cultivates alongside her sage-like master. Day after day, affection blossoms, yet they're tormented by the ties of master-disciple and the strictures of the celestial realm. Embracing beneath the moon, they painfully part before dawn. Driven by their respective aspirations and responsibilities, they embark on vastly different journeys, yet their unforgettable love flows like the spiritual springs of a celestial mountain, ever-flowing.
Set in the abandoned Interstellar arc, Yun Yao pilots a sleek mecha across the vast interstellar battlefield. Leading a group of like-minded comrades, she engages in a desperate battle against the evil alien forces to safeguard cosmic peace. Amidst hails of bullets and intertwined energy beams, she repeatedly pushes her limits, rising from a fledgling recruit to a feared interstellar warrior, writing her own legend with her passion.
Yun Yao suddenly opened her eyes, their light gleaming like stars. She raised her hand, tightly gripping the Heavenly Dao Pen, and tapped the tip of the pen lightly in the air. Each stroke seemed to carry a tremendous force, and golden light flowed with her strokes, illuminating the dark corridor. She cried out, "The Yun Yaos of all parallel worlds will have the right to choose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a miraculous scene occurred. The "Yun Yao" figures, previously baring their fangs and claws, their faces radiating frenzy, seemed to be struck by a gentle yet powerful force, their movements coming to an abrupt halt. The ferocity on their faces gradually faded, replaced by smiles of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Then, one by one, they transformed into lively points of light, swarming towards the Heavenly Dao Pen like weary birds returning to their nests. And the cracks on the tip of the Heavenly Dao Pen, as if nourished by life, began to heal, their light becoming even more dazzling.
When the last dot of light merged into the world, Yun Yao only felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes. After a dizzying moment, she opened her eyes again and found that she had returned to the familiar Lotus Town in the world of cultivation.
A gentle breeze blew across her face, carrying the fragrance of earth and the scent of flowers and plants, dispelling the lingering haze in her heart. Xiao Cui was waiting at the town entrance early with the Lotus Heart Sect members. They were dressed in plain clothes, but their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and hope. Seeing Yun Yao return, Xiao Cui stepped forward quickly and bowed gracefully: "Princess, you are finally back! We have been waiting day and night, hoping that you can return safely and lead us to fight against the evil spirits." The sect members also knelt on the ground, shouting in unison: "Welcome, Princess!"
Yun Yao looked around, seeing these familiar, friendly faces, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She gently helped Xiao Cui to her feet and gazed into the distance. In the distant sky, the Yuxu Palace's immortal boat streaked across the sky like a blazing meteor, hurtling towards the Blood Demon Realm. It was a gathering of justice, a march of hope, carrying the hopes and missions of countless people.
At this moment, Chu Mochen had quietly come to her side without her knowing when, holding something tightly in his hand. Yun Yao took a closer look and found that it was the manuscript of the final chapter of her novel that she had never finished. The paper was slightly yellowed, with traces of time, and a line of small words had been added on it at some point: "Chapter 750, The Night of the Fusion of the Three Laws". Yun Yao gently took the manuscript, stroking the line of small words with her fingers, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She looked up at Chu Mochen, and their eyes met, each of them revealing determination and resoluteness. They knew that this legendary journey across time and space, through ancient and modern times, was about to reach its final climax, and they were already prepared to fight for a bright future for this broken heaven and for all living beings.
Just as everyone was about to depart for the Blood Demon Realm, a blinding light suddenly shot out from the horizon, landing directly before Yun Yao. As the light faded, a mysterious messenger in black robes and a stern face appeared. The messenger knelt on one knee, holding an ancient letter in his hands. His voice was low and raspy: "Fairy Yun Yao, I am the Watcher of the Cracks Between Time and Space, entrusted by the beings of countless parallel worlds to deliver this message. Today, due to the conspiracy of Saint Youyue, the various worlds are plunged into unprecedented chaos, and the order of time and space is on the verge of collapse. Fairy, although you have rescued some of your avatars, many of the 'Yun Yao's' in other worlds are still trapped in the abyss of paradox. If you are not rescued in time, not only will those worlds be reduced to ashes, but this world of cultivation, and indeed the entire Heavenly Dao, will be engulfed in endless darkness."
Yun Yao's face darkened upon hearing this. She took the letter and quickly scanned its contents, feeling a growing weight on her heart. The tragic conditions of various worlds described in the letter were vivid before her eyes—some worlds plunged into eternal night, the earth cracked and devastated; some worlds where the laws of nature were reversed, good and evil mixed, and the strong wantonly bullied the weak; others were shrouded in a strange fog, time and space distorted, and people trapped in an endless cycle of pain and despair.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen frowned and took a step forward, saying, "Yao'er, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will walk side by side with you. But now we have to deal with the crisis in the Blood Demon Realm and save other worlds at the same time. We are too busy to split our time. What should we do?"
Yun Yao lowered her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea struck her. She looked up at Xiao Cui, her gaze filled with trust and expectation. "Xiao Cui, under your leadership, the Lotus Heart Sect has grown considerably. Its members are steadfast in their faith and possess extraordinary strength. I wish to bestow upon you a portion of the power of the Heavenly Dao. You will lead the Lotus Heart Sect members to remain in Lotus Town and protect this pure land. At the same time, with the help of the people's will, you will build a bridge connecting them to other worlds, bringing the light of hope to those trapped 'Yun Yaos'. Are you willing?"
A flicker of hesitation flashed across Xiao Cui's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She straightened her back and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Princess. Thanks to your teachings and trust, Xiao Cui has long since taken it as her responsibility to protect the people and uphold the Way of Heaven. Even if I die, Xiao Cui will definitely live up to your trust!"
Yun Yao nodded slightly, and a flash of light flashed in her hand. A ball of light, imbued with the laws of Heaven and the power of the Lotus Heart, slowly drifted towards Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui took it with both hands and felt a surge of powerful and warm energy flowing into her body. Her aura instantly soared. Seeing this, the Lotus Heart Sect members behind her were even more inspired, shouting in unison: "We are willing to go through fire and water for the princess and for Heaven!"
After completing their arrangements, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen boarded the immortal ship and headed for the Blood Demon Realm at full speed. Along the way, Yun Yao held the Heavenly Dao Pen, her eyes closed in concentration, attempting to leverage the pen's power to further understand the machinations of the Holy Maiden Youyue. As her exploration deepened, previously overlooked details gradually surfaced—it turned out that the "anti-Heavenly Dao viruses" planted by the Holy Maiden Youyue in each world were not isolated but interconnected, forming an intricate matrix of destruction. These viruses not only tampered with the storyline and triggered paradoxes, but also eroded the very essence of the worlds, gradually draining the vitality of each world.
At that moment, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from the Blood Demon Realm, like a death knell. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged glances, each seeing a solemn and resolute expression in the other's eyes. They knew the ultimate showdown was imminent, and in their hands lay not only their own fate, but the very existence of countless worlds...
