The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 779 The True Identity of the System Master

As Yun Yao and Chu Mochen entered this small world where technology and cultivation merged, a massive quantum psychic tower suspended in the air emitted a dazzling red light, and the streets were filled with tension. The psychic vehicles zipping through the air suddenly lost control and crashed into the ancient cult archway. Amidst the roar of the explosion, countless cultivators, armed with magical instruments, were helpless against the technological malfunction.

"Unusual energy fluctuations detected, signs of the Origin Core being extracted." The system's voice suddenly sounded, with unusual urgency. Yun Yao frowned slightly, the Destiny Disk warming slightly within her sleeve. The causal patterns on the disk extended towards the Quantum Psychic Energy Tower.

"It seems that the Chaos Demon Sect's tentacles have already reached here." Chu Mochen's Candle Dragon bloodline was slightly boiling, and a vertical line flashed in his pupils. "I can feel a familiar aura of chaos."

Following the causal path, the two arrived at the core control room of the Psychic Tower. The room, supposedly filled with high-tech equipment, was instead filled with strange cultivation formations. The central Origin Core was enveloped in a black mist, from which faint incantations of the Chaos Demon Sect could be heard. Just as Yun Yao was about to summon the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, the system suddenly issued a sharp alarm: "Danger! This is a trap for the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk!"

However, it was too late. The black mist suddenly surged, engulfing the two. Before Yun Yao lost consciousness, she saw the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk floating uncontrollably in the air, its patterns beginning to distort.

When she woke up again, Yun Yao found herself in a pure white space, surrounded by countless glowing memory fragments. Chu Mochen was nowhere to be seen, and only the system's voice echoed in the space: "Host, welcome to the core of the system."

A shadow slowly coalesced, revealing a miniature version of the Heavenly Saintess, clad in the exact same Hongmeng Dao robes that Yun Yao had seen in her illusion. Yun Yao's pupils shrank, and her hand unconsciously reached for the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk on her chest, only to find it as still and silent as if deep in sleep.

"You...who are you?" Yun Yao asked warily.

The shadowy figure smiled gently. "Host, I am the 'Heavenly Consciousness' that emerged from your previous life. I am responsible for guiding you through seventeen reincarnations and collecting enough causal value to challenge the Rule Realm."

This revelation exploded in Yun Yao's mind like thunder. She recalled every mission and every system prompt since her time travel. It turned out that from the very beginning, none of this had been accidental. "So, you orchestrated my time travel and system missions?" Yun Yao's voice was filled with barely concealed shock.

The shadow nodded. "To be precise, it was our joint choice. Seventeen lifetimes ago, to prevent the collapse of the universe, you, the Saint of Heaven, personally sent the War Halberd Lord's godhead into reincarnation. But at the last moment, you secretly planted the 'Twin Soul Seed', which gave rise to me. I guide you in every reincarnation and gather the power of cause and effect."

Memories flooded back, and Yun Yao recalled the fragments she had seen in the Netherworld. The woman in the Hongmeng Taoist robes was actually herself in a past life. She also recalled the "Defying Heaven's Fate Canon" she had read in the library. The records of the Seventeenth Generation Redemption Plan finally connected into a complete picture.

"What about Chu Mochen? Is every choice he makes also part of the script?" Yun Yao's voice trembled a little, and she was suddenly afraid to hear the answer.

The shadow shook his head: "No, every choice Chu Mochen made was his own decision. Your relationship has never been a script of heaven. I only provide opportunities, but he has overcome numerous obstacles in every life and walked towards you firmly."

At this moment, space suddenly vibrated violently, and a chaotic force tore through the space and rushed in. "So it's here! The consciousness of the Saint of Heaven and the Fate Disk of Defying Heaven will become the nourishment of chaos today!" A familiar voice came from an elder of the Chaos Demon Sect.

The shadow's expression changed. "Oh no! The Chaos Demon Sect has tracked us here! Host, you must leave immediately!"

Yun Yao stood where she was, her eyes firm: "No, it's my turn to protect this time." She forcibly summoned the Destiny Disk. Although her power was greatly restricted in this space, she still tried her best to inject the power of the origin of the three thousand worlds on the disk into the body of the phantom.

Just as the Chaos Elder's attack was about to strike, the phantom suddenly transformed into a beam of light and merged into Yun Yao's brow. Simultaneously, new memories emerged within Yun Yao's sea of consciousness—it turned out that in her previous life, the Heavenly Dao Saintess, in order to combat Chaos, had not only devised a plan of seventeen reincarnations but, at the last moment, had thrown a portion of her essence and consciousness, along with the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, into the turbulent flow of time and space.

"So, I've been searching for myself all along," Yun Yao murmured. A flicker of determination flashed in her eyes, and the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, under her control, suddenly unleashed a powerful causal force, repelling all of the Chaos Elder's attacks.

In the heat of battle, Chu Mochen's voice suddenly rang out, "Yao'er, here I come!" A golden light burst through the air. Chu Mochen, halberd in hand, his Candle Dragon bloodline erupting completely, his twelve pairs of wings blazing with infernal flames behind him. His presence instantly surged Yun Yao's power, and the twin soul fires blazed between them.

Under the attack of the twin soul flames, the Chaos Elder gradually showed signs of defeat. However, just as he was about to self-destruct, Yun Yao suddenly sensed a familiar aura—the remnant of Liu Yan'er's Chaos Demon Seed. Startled, she suddenly realized that all this might be related to Liu Yan'er.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Chu Mochen's halberd pierced the void, completely blocking the Chaos Elder's retreat. Yun Yao seized the opportunity to launch a causal attack. In the Chaos Elder's memory, she witnessed a shocking scene: Liu Yan'er was not only not completely eliminated, but had also reached an agreement with the Chaos Demon Sect's leaders. Their ultimate goal was to use the power generated by Yun Yao's breakthrough to the Rule Realm to open the forbidden area of the God Realm.

After the battle, Yun Yao's Heaven-Defying Fate Plate was upgraded again, finally revealing the complete "Three Thousand Worlds Origin Map," missing only the final three origins. Meanwhile, Chu Mochen, in this battle, completely mastered the power of the Candle Dragon Bloodline and the War Halberd Origin.

"It turns out that our story began seventeen generations ago." Yun Yao leaned on Chu Mochen's shoulder and said softly.

Chu Mochen hugged her gently: "But the most important thing is the present and the future. No matter how many challenges lie ahead, I will always be with you."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes fixed on each other. Behind them, in that pure white space, the System's phantom reappeared, a pleased smile on its face. This time, she was no longer a cold guide, but a witness, witnessing how a love spanning seventeen lifetimes blossomed into the most dazzling light amidst the torrent of cause and effect.

After leaving the system core, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen discovered that the crisis in this small world had been resolved. The Quantum Psionic Tower had returned to normal, and the monks and scientific workers were working together to rebuild the destroyed city.

"Let's go." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, her eyes gleaming. "There are still the last three origins waiting for us, and I can't wait to find out what stories are waiting for us ahead."

Chu Mochen held her hand tightly, and the two of them turned into streams of light and disappeared into the sky. But their story had just begun.
