The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 799 The Call of the Divine Realm

The morning mist in the world of cultivation had not yet dissipated. Yun Yao was leaning against the white jade railing of the Against Heaven Fate Palace, her fingertips gently fiddling with the Rule Fate Plate. The starlight flowing on the plate suddenly trembled violently, and a golden light shot up into the sky, condensing into an invitation emitting the pressure of the divine realm, and slowly landed in her palm.

"This is..." Chu Mochen had come up behind her at some point, his slender fingers tracing over the intricate Heavenly Dao emblems on the edge of the invitation, his brows slightly furrowed. "An invitation to the Three Thousand God Realms Council? I remember the last time it was held was during the Great War of Gods and Demons ten thousand years ago."

Yun Yao unfolded the invitation, the gilded handwriting gleaming in the sunlight: "Sincerely invite Yun Yao, a powerful Rule Realm expert, to the Divine Realm to discuss strategies for resolving the Chaos Crisis. Also invited: Chu Mochen, wife of the War Halberd Divine Lord, is also invited." Seeing the title "Wife of the War Halberd Divine Lord," she couldn't help but smile, then turned and jokingly said, "It seems those old-timers in the Divine Realm have finally acknowledged our relationship."

Before he finished speaking, the horoscope suddenly rippled with blood-red ripples. Countless tiny causal lines extended from the surface, interweaving into a dense web in the air. Yun Yao's pupils shrank slightly. This was the horoscope's warning—an extremely dangerous causal fluctuation was approaching.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen instantly shielded Yun Yao behind him, his Candle Dragon bloodline surging, and twelve pairs of battle wings blazed behind him. A dark shadow, like a ghost, passed through the palace wall, aiming for the invitation in Yun Yao's hand. Just as the shadow was about to touch the invitation, Yun Yao raised her hand and waved it gently. The power of rules transformed into a golden chain, trapping the shadow firmly.

The shadowy figure let out a sharp hiss, gradually revealing its true form—a Nether Raven, shrouded in the aura of Chaos. Its left eye was inlaid with a gem emitting an eerie purple glow, the symbol of the Chaos Demon Sect. The Nether Raven struggled to speak, its voice hoarse and distorted, "Yun Yao, do you think you can rest easy after entering the Rule Realm? The tide of Chaos is about to sweep everything away, and you are but a pawn on the chessboard of Heaven!"

Yun Yao's eyes were cold, and her fingertips moved slightly. The chaotic aura on the Nether Crow began to flow in the opposite direction, turning into starlight and dissipating in the air: "Go back and tell your master that I, Yun Yao, have never been a chess piece to be manipulated. If they dare to act rashly again, next time, I will personally crush the Chaos Demon Sect!" The Nether Crow let out a shrill scream and turned into ashes and dissipated.

"It seems that there is a big conspiracy behind this invitation." Chu Mochen put away his wings and held Yun Yao's hand. "What are you going to do?"

Yun Yao stared at the invitation in her hand, the Rule Fate Disc spinning rapidly within her sea of consciousness, deducing all possible causal paths. The disc revealed three distinct paths: Journey alone to the Divine Realm, intimidating all with the power of the Rule Realm, but risking entanglement within the Divine Realm's infighting; Bring Chu Mochen along, the power of their twin soul flames sufficient to withstand any crisis, but also exposing the Divine Realm's desire for their power; Decline the invitation and continue a peaceful life in the world of cultivation, but this would be unable to prevent the spread of the Chaos Crisis, plunging all three thousand small worlds into peril.

"Our story has never been a multiple-choice question." Yun Yao curled her lips into a confident smile, and lightly tapped her fingertips on the horoscope. A new causal line streaked through the void like a meteor, extending into the unknown depths of the universe.

Three days later, a starship emanating the aura of primordial chaos slowly descended before the Anti-Heaven Fate Palace. A Kunpeng figure, wings spread, was carved on its bow, and the runes of the Heavenly Dao circulated across its hull. It was the vehicle sent by the divine realm to greet them. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stepped aboard the starship side by side. The Rule Fate Plate resonated with the starship's Heavenly Dao runes, and the entire ship instantly transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the vast starry sky.

Inside the starship, a messenger from the divine realm dressed in a silver-white robe came forward and bowed slightly: "I am here to greet you two on the orders of the Divine Realm Council. This council meeting is of great importance, and I hope you will do your best to help." As the messenger spoke, Yun Yao keenly noticed a subtle flash of sinister intent in his eyes, and a faint warning came from the horoscope.

"You're too polite, Your Excellency," Yun Yao responded calmly, secretly injecting a wisp of Rule Power into the starship's Heavenly Dao runes. Sure enough, a faint blood-red hue appeared on the runes' surface, a sign of tampering. These runes seemingly pointed toward the divine realm, but in reality, they harbored a murderous intent. Once triggered, the entire starship would be transported to the Chaos Demon Sect's lair.

"Chu Mochen, it seems that our journey will not be very peaceful." Yun Yao sent a message to Chu Mochen beside her. The latter nodded slightly, and the Zhulong bloodline circulated quietly in his body.

At that moment, the starship suddenly shook violently, and countless black tentacles emerged from the void, tightly entangling the starship. The messenger's true identity was finally revealed. He shed his silver-white robe, revealing a scaly body. He was actually an elder of the Chaos Demon Sect in disguise. "Yun Yao, obediently hand over the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk and the Rule Fate Disk, and perhaps you will be spared!"

Chu Mochen struck first, his halberd's shadow piercing the air, striking the elder's vitals. Yun Yao manipulated the Ordinance and Fate Disk, rearranging the spatial laws surrounding the starship. The black tentacles unexpectedly began to entwine and annihilate each other. Seeing this, the elder's eyes flashed with panic, and he summoned a magical weapon emitting a chaotic aura—the Chaos Devouring Heaven Cauldron—in an attempt to engulf the entire starship.

"You think you can devour us?" Yun Yao sneered. Raising her hand, she summoned three thousand primordial powers, transforming them into a golden beam that shot straight towards the Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron. The power of rules and the power of chaos collided fiercely in the void, erupting in a dazzling burst of light. Yun Yao seized the opportunity to infuse the power of the Rule Fate Disc into the starship's Heavenly Dao Runes, forcibly reversing the teleportation coordinates.

Amidst the violent spatial fluctuations, the starship finally escaped the Chaos Demon Sect's ambush and appeared at the border of the Divine Realm. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of Divine Realm warships suddenly appeared ahead, surrounding the starship. Aboard the warship, a Divine Realm general in golden armor flew in front of the starship, holding the Heavenly Dao Order and coldly declared, "Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, you are suspected of colluding with the Chaos Demon Sect. By order of the Divine Realm Council, you are arrested!"

Yun Yao's heart sank. This was clearly a trap set by someone behind the scenes, hoping to get rid of them through the divine realm. Chu Mochen gripped his halberd tightly, his aura surging. "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext! If you want to make a move, you'll have to get past me first!"

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a showdown, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!" A woman in a pale blue dress flew out from the Divine Realm warship. The mark of the Heavenly Dao shone between her brows. She was none other than the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao Saintess. "General, there must be something fishy going on here. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have made such illustrious contributions against the Chaos Demon Sect. How could they be colluding with them? General, please investigate."

The general looked at the Saintess of Heaven, hesitated for a moment, then put away the Heavenly Dao Order. "Since the Saintess has spoken, let's drop this matter for now. But Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, you must come with me to the parliament and explain everything to me face to face."

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance before following the general and the Saintess of Heaven to the Divine Realm Council. Along the way, Yun Yao used the Divine Rule Disc to probe the causal connections surrounding them, discovering a mysterious force secretly manipulating everything, attempting to provoke conflict between the Divine Realm and them. Even more shocking was the discovery that the source of this power was inextricably linked to the Grandmist Heavenly Dao.

Inside the Divine Realm Council Hall, the gods gathered, and the atmosphere was solemn. As soon as Yun Yao and Chu Mochen entered the hall, they felt countless hostile gazes. At the Council's main seat, an elderly man in a black robe slowly rose. An ancient and mysterious aura lingered around him; he was the spokesperson for the Grand Meng Heavenly Dao.

"Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, do you admit your guilt?" The old man's voice was low and majestic, echoing in the hall.

Yun Yao met the old man's gaze fearlessly. "I wonder what crime we have committed? Senior, please explain."

The old man snorted coldly, and a cause-and-effect mirror appeared in his hand. It showed Yun Yao talking with the Chaos Demon Sect elders. "Someone witnessed you colluding with the Chaos Demon Sect and attempting to overthrow the order of the God Realm. This is a grave crime and cannot be forgiven!"

Yun Yao was shocked. This image seemed real, but in reality it was a distortion and manipulation of cause and effect. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but Chu Mochen beat her to the punch: "Senior, are you going to condemn us based on just one side of your story? The image in this cause and effect mirror is clearly a deliberate manipulation!"

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, the Saintess of Heaven suddenly stepped forward and said, "Senior, this matter is fraught with doubt. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, in order to fight against the Chaos Devil Sect, went so far as to delve into the Devil Abyss and even break through to the Rule Realm. How could such people be colluding with the Chaos Devil Sect?"

The old man looked at the Saintess of Heaven, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Saintess, this matter is of great importance. Don't let them blind you."

Seeing this, Yun Yao knew that only solid evidence could clear her name. Closing her eyes, she exerted all her might to activate the Laws of Destiny, rewinding time and searching for the truth. Finally, amidst the long web of cause and effect, she discovered a crucial clue—when the Nether Crows attacked the Against Heaven Palace, a familiar wave of consciousness had emanated from the shadows. It was the aura of the Grandmist Heavenly Dao!

"I know who's behind this!" Yun Yao opened her eyes, the power of rules gleaming in them. "All of this is Hongmeng Tiandao's conspiracy! He's afraid that our power will threaten his rule, so he's trying every possible way to get rid of us!"

The hall erupted in an uproar, with the gods discussing the matter. The old man's face darkened, "Yun Yao, stop your nonsense! Hongmeng Tiandao is the master of the divine realm, how could he do such a thing?"

Yun Yao sneered and injected the power of the Rule Fate Disk into the Causal Mirror. The image within the mirror began to reverse, revealing the truth: it turned out that Hongmeng Tiandao was secretly manipulating the Nether Crows, tampering with the starship's Tiandao runes, and fabricating images of their collusion with the Chaos Demon Sect. And the general who framed them was also instructed by Hongmeng Tiandao.

The truth was revealed, and the gods were shocked. The Heavenly Saint looked at the old man angrily and said, "Senior, do you have anything else to say?"

The old man's face turned pale and he was speechless. At this moment, Hongmeng Tiandao's voice suddenly rang out in the hall: "Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, you are indeed very clever, but unfortunately, you cannot escape the arrangement of fate. Now that you know the truth, stay here forever!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire parliament hall was enveloped by a powerful force. Countless chains of heaven descended from the sky, trapping Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. However, Yun Yao was not afraid at all. She and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, and the twin soul fires burned fiercely in their sea of consciousness, and the rules and destiny disks bloomed with dazzling light.

"Hongmeng Tiandao, do you think you can trap us like this?" Yun Yao's voice was firm and powerful. "Our fate has never been decided by you!"

Under the impact of the twin soul fires and the power of rules, the chains of the Heavenly Dao broke one after another. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen joined hands and flew towards the direction of the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao. A great battle that would overturn the order of the divine world was about to begin...
