Chapter 509: Whirlpool of Truth
Before dying, Liu Yan'er used up her last bit of strength, with a twisted and satisfied smile on her face. Her voice seemed to come from the abyss of hell, and she spoke word by word: "Yun Yao, do you think all this is a coincidence? The fact that you can travel to this cultivation world and become this bullied princess is all a 'destiny game' planned by the Chu Mochen family!"
When Yun Yao heard this, she was struck by lightning. She froze in place instantly, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured subconsciously: "No, this is impossible..." She had always thought that her time travel was an accident, a trick of fate, but now she was told that there was a careful plan behind it.
At this moment, the shouts and sounds of magic weapons colliding around her seemed to fade away, and only Liu Yan'er's voice like a devil's whisper echoed in Yun Yao's world. Her mind was in chaos, and various past scenes flashed by like a revolving lantern: the cold eyes and humiliation of everyone when she first entered the palace, the sudden appearance of the system and the tasks issued one by one, the process of getting to know Chu Mochen, and Liu Yan'er's unscrupulous frame-ups... Could all this really be calculated by others?
Chu Mochen was also shocked. He stared at Liu Yan'er with wide eyes and roared, "You are talking nonsense! How could my family do such a thing?" He clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly because of anger, and his heart was surging with turbulent waves. Although he had many complicated feelings towards his family, he never thought that his family would be involved in such a conspiracy, and he never thought that Yun Yao's time travel would be related to it.
Liu Yan'er looked at the two people's shocked expressions, but she laughed more and more crazily, and her laughter seemed particularly eerie and terrifying on the bloody battlefield. "Hahaha, Chu Mochen, you are just a chess piece in the hands of the family. Do you know how much effort they spent to find the 'girl of destiny' who can unlock that mysterious power? Yun Yao is the key person they carefully selected. Your time travel was forcibly sent here by them by tearing open the cracks in time and space with heaven-defying means, just to let you go through hardships in this cultivation world and activate the mysterious power hidden in your body for them to drive!"
Yun Yao felt a chill running from her feet to her head. Her breathing became rapid and heavy, and her eyes were full of confusion and anger. "Why? I have no grudges against them, why do they treat me like this?" Her voice was choked with sobs, and the grievance in her heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning her. In modern society, she had been living an ordinary but stable life, but was inexplicably drawn into the whirlpool of the cultivation world and suffered a lot. Now she knows that all this is a script preset by others.
Chu Mochen was in great pain. On the one hand, he could not accept that his family had done such a cruel thing behind his back. On the other hand, he was filled with guilt and pity when he saw Yun Yao's heartbroken look. He wanted to speak to comfort Yun Yao, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he could not say anything.
At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly felt the system in her body tremble violently, and then the scene in front of her began to distort and blur. The cold mechanical sound of the system sounded in her mind, but it seemed to be a bit panicked: "Warning! Warning! There are abnormal fluctuations in the trajectory of fate. The system is being impacted by unknown forces, and the data is disordered..." Yun Yao was startled, and before she could react, she felt a powerful force pulling her consciousness into the system space.
As soon as she entered the system space, Yun Yao saw that the blue data stream that had been flashing in an orderly manner was now running around like a mad horse. On the central light screen, the originally clear task list and attribute panel became fragmented, and garbled characters kept flashing. Yun Yao was extremely anxious and shouted loudly: "System, what is going on?" However, the system seemed to be stuck in a dead state and did not give any response.
Outside, Chu Mochen watched Yun Yao suddenly fall down with empty eyes, and was immediately panicked. He rushed forward, hugged Yun Yao tightly in his arms, and shouted her name loudly: "Yun Yao! Yun Yao! Wake up!" But Yun Yao did not respond, her face was as pale as paper.
Chu Mochen was extremely anxious. He hurriedly checked Yun Yao's body and found no external injuries, but her spiritual power was in disarray, as if she was being torn apart by some invisible force. At this time, the situation on the battlefield became more and more critical. The demon cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect took advantage of Yun Yao's coma and their offensive became more and more fierce. The disciples gradually couldn't resist. But Chu Mochen was full of Yun Yao at this moment. He hugged Yun Yao tightly, ignoring the danger around him, and forced his spiritual power to form a protective barrier around him, protecting the two of them.
In the system space, Yun Yao tried to calm her mind. She took a deep breath and concentrated on observing the chaotic data flow around her. Suddenly, she found that some familiar images occasionally flashed among the garbled codes: an ancient altar, a mysterious man in a black robe, runes shining with strange light... These images flashed by, making Yun Yao more confused.
She approached the broken light curtain carefully, and reached out to touch the flashing garbled codes. The moment her fingertips touched the light curtain, a strong stream of information suddenly poured into her mind. She saw the more distant past: in order to pursue the illusory "Hongmeng power", the Chu Mochen family studied forbidden techniques for generations and tried to control fate. After countless failures, they finally calculated that Yun Yao, a soul from another world, had the key to unlock the Hongmeng power, so they launched the heaven-defying ritual of traveling through time and space at all costs.
The anger in Yun Yao's heart grew more and more violent. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Chu Mochen family has ruined my life for their own selfish desires and tried to turn me into their puppet!" She was determined to break free from the shackles of fate and make those who plotted against her pay the price.
At this time, the system seemed to have finally regained some clarity, and a mechanical voice sounded intermittently: "Host... the system has been invaded by external forces, and the core program has been damaged... However, it has been detected that the host is facing a major crisis, and an emergency repair plan has been activated... Please calm down as soon as possible and find a way out..."
Yun Yao suppressed her anger and calmed down to think. She realized that since all this was the result of the Chu Mochen family using the system to manipulate the system, if she wanted to change her fate, she had to start with the system. She began to carefully study the information flows that poured into her mind, trying to find loopholes or key nodes in the system.
Outside, Chu Mochen looked at the unconscious Yun Yao in his arms, and was extremely anxious. He suddenly thought that perhaps there might be a way to cure Yun Yao in the family's ancient books. So, he gritted his teeth, gently put Yun Yao aside, set up a few defensive prohibitions, and then flashed towards the family library. Along the way, he avoided the demon cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what the cost, he must save Yun Yao.
After a hard exploration in the system space, Yun Yao finally discovered a hidden setting of the system: when the host is in a desperate situation and has a strong will, the system's "Original Power" can be awakened by force, but this requires a huge price and may even endanger life. Yun Yao did not hesitate at all, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I would rather fight to the death than be manipulated by others!" After that, she mobilized all the spiritual power in her body and rushed to the core of the system, trying to awaken the dormant "Original Power".
In an instant, the system space was filled with light, and Yun Yao felt a destructive force rushing towards her, as if her body was about to be torn apart. But she gritted her teeth and held on with her tenacious will. Just when she felt that she was about to be swallowed by this force, a warm golden light surged out of her body, counteracting the violent force.
It turned out that the Hongmeng sword embryo that had been dormant in Yun Yao's body had sensed the danger of its master, and automatically released the power of Hongmeng to protect Yun Yao. Under the nourishment of the power of Hongmeng, Yun Yao's injuries gradually stabilized, and the system slowly returned to normal. Clear handwriting reappeared on the light screen: "The host successfully activated the power of origin and gained a chance to rewrite his fate, but the time limit is only one stick of incense. Please make a careful decision."
A hint of determination flashed across Yun Yao's eyes. She knew that this was her only chance to escape from the predicament. She began to quickly conceive a plan to rewrite her fate in her mind, and her eyes gradually became firm and bright.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Yao finally made a decision. She gave the system an order: "I want to sever the causal connection with Chu Mochen's family and reshape my own destiny with the Hongmeng Sword Embryo!" After receiving the order, the system emitted a strong light, and then a mysterious force enveloped Yun Yao and slowly sent her out of the system space.
Outside, Chu Mochen rushed back anxiously, holding tightly in his hand an ancient book he found in the family library. When he saw Yun Yao slowly opening her eyes, he was overjoyed and rushed forward: "Yun Yao, you're awake! Great!"
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, who was full of concern, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that the man in front of her might not know about the family conspiracy, but the relationship between them became extremely complicated because of this sudden truth. She took a deep breath and said softly: "Chu Mochen, I'm fine. But there are some things we must figure out..."
At this time, the noise on the battlefield was still there, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's state of mind was completely different. They knew that after this vortex of truth, there were more challenges waiting for them, and they could only break through the fog and find a glimmer of hope by working together.
