The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 599: Father's Shadow

In the endless depths of the universe, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen harnessed the power of the two realms, streaking through the darkness like two meteors, and rushed towards the antimatter universe. Along the way, Yun Yao's heart was full of thoughts and expectations for her father. The spiritual network email from her mother was like a ray of dawn, penetrating the fog and illuminating her way to find her father. Although the road ahead was unknown and full of dangers, as long as she thought of the possibility of reuniting with her father, even if she only saw a trace of his afterimage, the fire in her heart would burn and never go out.

Chu Mochen held Yun Yao's hand tightly. He could clearly feel her excitement and nervousness. The Wujie Sword trembled slightly beside him, as if responding to the master's state of mind, and as if it had a premonition of the stormy waves that were about to come. The texture on the sword was gleaming, interweaving with the soft halo emitted by Yun Yao's Creation Spirit Root, as if telling the hardships and persistence they had gone through, and also adding a bit of determination to this unknown journey.

When approaching the entrance of the antimatter universe, a suffocating destructive energy rushed towards them. It was a violent storm, formed by the gathering of pure antimatter energy, like a giant beast with bared fangs and claws, wantonly devouring everything that approached. Chu Mochen took the lead and swung the Wujie Sword horizontally. The sword pattern burst into a dazzling light, trying to open a way forward for Yun Yao. However, as soon as it touched the edge of the storm, the sword pattern began to crack like fragile glass, making a crisp sound, as if the storm was making a hideous laugh.

Seeing this, Yun Yao was extremely anxious and did not hesitate to stimulate the Creation Spiritual Root to the extreme. The spiritual root instantly turned into a crystal clear protective layer, tightly covering the two of them. However, at the entrance of this antimatter universe, strange things happened one after another. They found that the physical laws here were completely different from those in the symbiotic universe. The spiritual power that was originally used freely in the cultivation world and on Earth has now become an "accomplice" to aggravate the collapse of the Wujie Sword. Every bit of spiritual power injected makes the cracks on the sword more hideous.

At the critical moment, Yun Yao's mind flashed with inspiration, and the programming knowledge of the earth surged into her mind like a tide. She quickly integrated this knowledge into the sword formula, muttering to herself, and quickly forming seals with both hands. A miracle happened. As her command was issued, a code sword domain composed of antimatter slowly emerged on Chu Mochen's sword. It was a field flashing with strange light, and the code shuttled through it like a smart fish. The moment the storm touched the code, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier. The violent energy was quickly decomposed and transformed, turning into stardust that flickered all over the sky, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, beautiful but full of dangers.

The two carefully shuttled through the stardust, and every step was like walking on thin ice. Finally, the moment they passed through the storm, a shocking scene came into their eyes. Countless celestial bodies composed of antimatter were suspended in the void, emitting a cold light. And above these celestial bodies, there were translucent figures floating. Their faces were either familiar or unfamiliar, but they all carried a sense of vicissitudes of time and space. Yun Yao recognized at a glance that these were the people who "disappeared" in the turbulence of time and space. There were fellow brothers and sisters who had practiced together in Qinglan Sect. Their smiles were still bright, as if they were still in that carefree time; there were also colleagues who fought side by side in the Earth Laboratory, their eyes revealed their persistence in science and desire for exploration.

Seeing this scene, Yun Yao's eyes moistened instantly, and past memories flooded into her mind like a tide. She remembered the days when she practiced swordsmanship with her senior brothers and sisters in Qinglan Sect. The first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the martial arts training ground. Everyone sweated, learned from each other, and encouraged each other. She remembered that in the Earth Laboratory, in order to overcome scientific research problems, she and her colleagues fought day and night, and never lost heart in the face of failures. The enthusiasm for the unknown and the persistence of dreams. These memories are like bright stars, illuminating her heart and making her more determined to protect the symbiotic universe.

Chu Mochen gently patted Yun Yao's shoulder, giving her silent comfort. At this moment, there was no need to say much, they understood each other's heart. In this space full of fantasy and sorrow, the two walked hand in hand, heading towards the core of the antimatter universe. Along the way, Yun Yao's creation spirit root constantly sensed the energy fluctuations around her, trying to find the trace of her father. Every subtle sensation was like a drumbeat in her heart, making her heart beat faster and faster.

Finally, deep in the core of the universe, Yun Yao felt a familiar and powerful energy fluctuation. The power seemed to come from the depths of her soul, pulling her to speed up her pace involuntarily. As the distance got closer, a figure made of energy gradually became clear.

"Father..." Yun Yao blurted out, her voice trembling slightly.

The figure slowly turned around, with a kind face and eyes full of love and reluctance for his daughter. It was Yun Yao's father whom she had missed for a long time. Although he was just a memory made of energy, every look and every movement of his was full of deep fatherly love.

"Xiaoyao, don't be sad for me, Dad just went to a place where I am needed more..." Father's voice echoed in the silent universe, like a melodious music, striking the depths of Yun Yao's heart.

Yun Yao burst into tears, and she rushed forward desperately, trying to grab her father's hand, but found that her palm went straight through her father's body. At that moment, she truly felt the cruelty of reality, and the grief in her heart was like a surging wave, almost drowning her.

Her father seemed to see her pain and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand to wipe away her tears. Although his fingers only lightly brushed her cheek, it brought up a ripple of warm energy.

"Xiaoyao, you have grown so strong. Dad is proud of you." The father's eyes were full of satisfaction. "You have gone through countless hardships along the way, but you never gave up. You have inherited the tenacity and courage of our family."

Yun Yao choked up and nodded desperately. She looked at her father, with thousands of words in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.

The father sighed slightly, his eyes became deep and distant, as if he had traveled through the long river of time and space and looked into the more distant future. "Xiaoyao, the symbiotic universe you created carries the hope of countless lives. But now, the crisis has not been completely resolved. The leader of the Fallen Cult has been coveting this power in secret, trying to destroy it and rebuild his so-called 'world-destroying heavenly way'."

As he spoke, his father's figure suddenly became illusory, as if he was gathering all his strength. A moment later, a seed gleaming with the light of the two worlds slowly emerged in his palm. This seed was shining brightly, and contained endless vitality and mysterious power, like the nucleus at the beginning of the universe, exuding a shocking breath.

"This is the last piece of the puzzle of the symbiotic universe, and it is also the key to fighting against the way of the world-destroying heaven—" The father's voice became weaker and weaker, but it was full of unquestionable firmness. He gently handed the seed to Yun Yao, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Yun Yao stretched out her hand with trembling hands and carefully took the seed. The moment she touched the seed, a powerful energy flowed into her body through her fingertips, creating a strong resonance with her spiritual root of creation. She could clearly feel that this seed contained her father's lifelong efforts and expectations for the future of the universe. It was the last light of hope to protect the symbiotic universe.

However, at this critical moment, a sinister laugh broke the silence. The figure of the leader of the Fallen Cult emerged from the shadows like a ghost, exuding a strong dark aura, like a demon from hell. The twelve seeds of heaven in his hand have merged into a huge black egg, and the eggshell is covered with the reincarnation marks of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Those marks flashed with strange light, as if telling the countless reincarnations they had experienced, and also showing the monstrous ambition of the leader of the Fallen Cult.

“Yun Yao, do you think that creating a symbiotic universe can end reincarnation? Look at what’s in the dome—” The voice of the Fallen Angel’s leader was sharp and piercing, like the cry of a night owl, echoing throughout the universe.

As his voice fell, the dome slowly cracked open, and countless "Yun Yao" and "Chu Mochen" emerged from it, all of which were their afterimages in the parallel world. These afterimages were in different shapes, some with terrified faces, some with resolute eyes, as if they were experiencing different versions of cruel fate. For a moment, the whole space was filled with a weird and depressing atmosphere, as if countless tragedies were happening at the same time.

Yun Yao's heart tightened when she saw this, but she soon calmed down. She tightly grasped the seed in her hand, feeling the remaining power of her father giving her support and courage. She closed her eyes slightly, and immersed her consciousness into the spiritual root of creation, trying to find a way to deal with it.

In an instant, countless images flashed through Yun Yao's mind, including the past battles with Chu Mochen, her growth experience on Earth, and her cultivation experience in the world of cultivation. Suddenly, she understood the deep meaning of her father leaving this seed.

Yun Yao opened her eyes, and a determined light flashed in them. Without hesitation, she integrated the seeds given by her father into the symbiotic field. In an instant, the field was filled with light. All the afterimages seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, turning into countless light spots, flowing into her spiritual roots like a rushing river. With the integration of the light spots, the spiritual roots of creation began to undergo earth-shaking changes. It grew rapidly, the branches spread, the leaves stretched, and finally formed a "double world tree" above Yun Yao's head, symbolizing infinite possibilities.

This double-world tree is tall and majestic, with runes and codes of the double worlds engraved on its trunk, branches stretching into the endless void, and each leaf flashing with a lively light, containing the mystery and power of a world. It is like the center of the universe, exuding a sacred and majestic aura, and tightly guarding Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

Under the light of the Twin World Tree, the Dome of Annihilation began to violently crack. The leader of the Fallen Angel Church widened his eyes in horror. He looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. The way of destroying the world that he had been determined to achieve was now nourishing the symbiotic universe.

"This is the last piece of the puzzle that my father mentioned." Yun Yao looked at the gradually disappearing giant egg and said softly, with a hint of relief and heroism in her voice. "It turns out that the true way of heaven is never to devour or create, but to give all life the freedom to choose."

Chu Mochen looked at the Twin World Tree reflected in Yun Yao's eyes, his heart full of admiration and love. He knew that their adventure was far from over. In this infinite universe, there were always new challenges waiting for them, and there were always new stories waiting for two lovers across the world to write. But at this moment, in the core of this universe full of miracles and hope, they hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped for them. The future may still be full of hardships, but they firmly believed that as long as they walked hand in hand, nothing could stop them from protecting the symbiotic universe and pursuing freedom and love.
