Chapter 925: The Same Return
The transparent sword at Xu Wu Tian Dao's brow trembled endlessly, the words "Chu Mo" engraved on the blade emitting a dazzling white light in the chaos. Yun Yao's fingertips still retained the warmth of Chu Mochen's palm. Those points of light flowed down her arm into her sea of consciousness. Each point of light represented a life she had saved through countless reincarnations—a girl bullied by bullies in the market, a young disciple of a cultivation sect on the verge of collapse, and even a cultivator who had awakened within the Xu Wu Tian Dao camp.
"Impossible!" The gray robe of Xuwu Tiandao fluttered in the chaotic storm, and the chaotic vortex in his eyes spun wildly. "You are just an ant, how can you fight against the laws of heaven with the power of mere emotions?" He waved out a tentacle as black as ink, but the moment it touched the light shield around Yun Yao, it was purified into starlight.
Chu Mochen's golden wings were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the twelve pairs of wings were fully deployed, they cast countless shadows of galaxies in the chaos. He held Yun Yao's hand, his voice hoarse with the pain of surviving a disaster: "Yao'er, do you remember what you said when we first fought side by side in the cultivation world?"
Yun Yao's nose felt sore as memories flooded back. Back then, she had just entered the world of cultivation. While on a mission, she encountered a powerful demonic beast. Chu Mochen, regardless of his own safety, stood before her. And in that desperate situation, she had cried out, "We are not fighting alone."
"So, since then, you have been changing my destiny." Chu Mochen chuckled. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Yun Yao's cheek, and a faint light shone where his fingertips touched. "No matter if it is thousands of reincarnations or the chaotic battlefield at this moment, you have always been the most unexpected variable in my life."
At this moment, Void Heavenly Dao suddenly let out a shrill scream, and his body began to twist and deform, turning into an ever-expanding chaotic mist: "Since you are stubborn and refuse to repent, then be annihilated together with this chaos!" Countless chains stretched out from the mist, entangling Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. The chains were engraved with ancient Heavenly Dao runes, burning their skin.
Yun Yao felt the anti-Heavenly Dao and the primordial purple energy within her body begin to confuse each other, and cracks appeared on Chu Mochen's wings again. From the chaotic mist came the cold sneer of the Void Heavenly Dao: "Do you think you can break the laws of Heaven? Don't forget, you are the product of Heaven's creation, and you can never escape the fate of being controlled by it!"
At the critical moment, Yun Yao's Heavenly Dao Compass suddenly detached from her palm, suspended in mid-air, radiating a thousand-foot-high light. The patterns on the compass began to rotate in reverse, unexpectedly drawing the chaotic mist into it. The System's voice was no longer a hollow, mechanical cadence, but held a gentle smile: "Host, do you remember the small world you created in the cultivation world? That is the key to unlocking all this."
Chu Mochen's pupils suddenly constricted. "Yao'er, look!" From the chaotic mist emerged a series of images, scenes from the dawn of the Hongmeng universe. Hongmeng and Xuwu were originally one, having created countless worlds together, but their understanding of life diverged. Hongmeng believed that life should have freedom and choice, while Xuwu firmly believed that order and control were the true meaning of the universe.
"It turns out we were all wrong." Yun Yao murmured. She let go of Chu Mochen's hand and walked towards the center of the chaotic fog. "Xuwu Tiandao, you are obsessed with controlling everything, but you are afraid of facing the fear of betrayal. Hongmeng and you split up back then, not because of a disagreement in philosophy, but because you were unwilling to admit that the diversity of life is the most beautiful scenery in the universe."
Xu Wu Tian Dao's voice was a little shaken: "You...how do you know?"
"Because I am also a daughter of the Heavenly Dao." The light surrounding Yun Yao intertwined with the chaotic mist. The sigh of her father, the Ruler of Heaven, emerged from her memory. "My father banished me to the mortal world not as punishment, but in the hope that I could find the answer to reconcile the universe and nothingness through reincarnation."
Suddenly, a violent tremor erupted from the chaos, and a gigantic figure slowly emerged. It was a giant composed of stars and chaos. Half of its face shone with brilliant light, while the other half was shrouded in darkness—it was the true form of Hongmeng and the Void.
"Child, you've finally arrived." The giant's voice was like thunder, yet it carried an indescribable tenderness. "For ten thousand years, I have been locked in an endless battle with the void, exhausting the very power of the universe. Now, it's up to you to end it all."
Yun Yao took a deep breath, her hands grasping the Primordial Light and the Void Darkness. Chu Mochen transformed into a stream of light and merged into her body, infusing her with strength. Yun Yao slowly merged the two energies, forming a small ball of light in her palm. Countless points of light flickered within the ball, a microcosm of all life.
"I choose the third possibility." Yun Yao tossed the ball of light into the air. The moment it exploded, chaos and light began to merge, forming a whole new universe. Within this space, the primordial purple energy and the chaotic void intertwined into a brilliant nebula, where life flourished freely.
The figure of Xuwu Tiandao gradually became transparent. He looked at the newborn universe and finally smiled with relief: "So this is the answer I have been looking for... Perhaps, letting go is the real control." His body turned into starlight and merged into the laws of the new universe.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen hovered in the center of the new universe, their bodies becoming ethereal. "Yao'er, it looks like we're going to become part of this new universe too," Chu Mochen said with reluctance.
Yun Yao shook her head and pulled out an ancient book from her bosom. It was the first novel she had written in the world of cultivation, and it recorded every detail of her and Chu Mochen's life. "No, we have one last thing to do." She threw the book into the new universe, and it transformed into a rainbow bridge, connecting the various worlds.
"From now on, every life can travel freely between different worlds and pursue its own path." Yun Yao's voice echoed in the new universe, "And we will always protect this freedom."
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's figures gradually dissipated, transforming into twin stars in a new universe. Illuminated by their light, a brand new world—the Yunlan Realm—began to take shape. Their story, too, became a legend spread across various worlds, inspiring countless practitioners in their pursuit of freedom and true love.
In the history books of the Yunlan Realm, the following passage is forever recorded: "The conflict between Hongmeng and Xuwu was finally ended by a woman with great love. She used love as a sword and love as a shield, and opened up a new world in the chaos. She and her God of War became the eternal light that protects the freedom of the universe."
The chaotic storm gradually subsided, and the melodious sound of bells echoed from the new universe, the music of life's birth. The story of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen will be forever told in this world full of hope and freedom.
