Chapter 236 Ancestral Star Crisis
Chapter 236 Ancestral Star Crisis
Is the ancestral planet facing a blow?
Wei Yu regained full consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, and there was no longer any confusion or helplessness in them.
Instead, there is a raging fire, a testament to the will to protect the home planet, to the overwhelming rage against the enemy, and to the rediscovered determination and sharpness.
The cocoon of light slowly dissipated, and Wei Yu sat upright on the lotus. The golden and white light around him grew even more intense, and his aura was several times stronger than before. The wounds to his soul were completely healed, and it was even more refined than before. The golden light gathered in his hand, with the blessing of the mother star's will, radiated a power that could pierce through the darkness.
He raised his head, his cold gaze fixed on the dark figure before him.
As the shadowy figure looked at the rejuvenated Wei Yu and felt the overwhelming power emanating from him, its fear intensified, yet it still refused to back down. It slowly raised its hand, and the dark aura around it surged once more, wanting to completely obliterate Wei Yu before he fully recovered.
Just as the shadowy aura was about to touch Wei Yu, the golden and white light surrounding Wei Yu suddenly surged.
Like an invisible giant net, it spread out instantly, and everything in its path began to twist and shake violently.
On the battlefield, there are still roaring Western dragons, holy angels, raging ancient giants, sinister infernal creatures, and players fighting bloody battles.
Their forms began to become transparent, like shredded paper being swept up by a gale, gradually turning into countless shimmering points of light and dissipating into the air.
The shattered ruins of the Heavenly City, the gushing lava, and the broken city walls also rapidly crumbled under the glow.
Rock fragments, lava, and bloodstains all turned into tiny particles of light, drifting away in the wind. The roars of monsters, the shouts of players, and the sounds of skill explosions gradually became blurred and distant, eventually disappearing completely.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield, which had been chaotic and littered with corpses just moments before, was completely transformed.
The countless particles of light gathered and dissipated, and the ruins beneath our feet gradually rose up, transforming into a continuous mountain range. Grass and trees sprouted from the soil, and rocks were exposed. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness from the mountains. There was no trace of the battlefield left.
Wei Yu sat upright on the lotus, his eyes cold and sharp, and he instantly understood everything as he looked at everything before him.
It turns out that all of this, from the siege by four forces to the players' bloody battle, and then to his dazed state and despair, was an illusion carefully created by the dark figure in front of him!
It doesn't want those monsters to kill it; it wants to trap itself in this desperate illusion.
It gradually eroded his will, causing him to completely collapse in his depravity and self-doubt, ultimately leading to his easy annihilation! What a ruthless scheme!
"No—! Impossible!" The shadowy figure stared at the illusion that shattered in an instant. Its originally cold voice became distorted and manic. It suddenly raised its head and let out a hysterical roar towards the sky.
The dark aura surrounding him was so violent it was almost about to explode.
"Damn Earth! Damn Mother Planet's will! I'm about to succeed! I'm just one step away from utterly destroying it, from completing Mother's mission! Damn it!!!"
The roar shook the mountain vegetation, causing rocks to shatter, and the dark figure trembled violently with rage.
The already blurry outline became even more distorted, and a hint of scarlet ferocity even emanated from the surrounding darkness.
It had been plotting for so long, setting up such a grand scheme, and was about to succeed when it was completely shattered by the sudden appearance of the Earth's mother planet's will and the Myriad Realms Homecoming System. This resentment and anger almost consumed it.
Wei Yu slowly stood up, the lotus seat beneath his feet gradually dissipated, and golden and white light surrounded him. With each step he took, he carried an overwhelming aura as he walked towards the shadowy figure.
His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only filled with icy killing intent. His voice was powerful and resounding throughout the mountains: "Your conspiracy ends here."
"You dare to destroy my illusion and jeopardize Mother's grand plans! I will tear you to pieces and then destroy your home planet, ensuring that all those wandering on Earth will never be able to return home!"
The shadowy figure roared, its dark aura surging once more. Countless dark tentacles extended from the shadow, carrying a deadly ferocity, and frantically grabbed at Wei Yu.
Wei Yu's eyes narrowed, and without flinching, he raised his hand and waved it. The power of homecoming around him instantly erupted, and a golden-white light wall instantly appeared, blocking all the dark tentacles.
The dark tentacles struck the wall of light, sizzling as they were instantly burned away, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.
"Mother?" Wei Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.
Is there a powerful backer behind this dark figure? And it seems their target isn't just themselves, but the entire home planet?
The shadowy figure watched as its dark tentacles were easily destroyed, its fear intensifying, yet it still refused to back down.
It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a thick beam of dark light, shooting towards Wei Yu. Wherever the beam passed, the vegetation on the mountain withered instantly, and the rocks were corroded into black holes.
"Power of homecoming, break!" Wei Yu shouted, and a golden-white light blade condensed in his palm. The power of the mother star's will surged on the light blade, and he slashed it out.
The golden-white light blade collided instantly with the dark light pillar, the two forces clashing violently and producing a deafening roar that shook the mountains.
The shockwave swept across the entire mountain range, snapping trees and sending rocks flying. Wei Yu stood firmly in place, his aura undiminished, while the dark figure was forced back by the shockwave, coughing up black blood and instantly weakening.
"Impossible... How could you possess such power? You're just a piece of trash temporarily empowered by the will of your home planet, how could you possibly defeat me?"
The shadowy figure looked incredulous, his voice hoarse, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
Wei Yu looked at it coldly, his tone icy.
"You will never understand the power of our home planet, the faith of its wanderers—things that a dark soul like you could never comprehend. Today, I will not only kill you, but also find out who this so-called 'Mother' you speak of is, and stop your conspiracy against our home planet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light around Wei Yu surged again. He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the shadowy figure. The power of homecoming in his palm was concentrated to the extreme, and he slammed it hard into the core of the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure's expression changed drastically. It tried to dodge, but it was too late. The golden-white light instantly pierced through its body. The shadowy figure let out a shrill scream, and its body began to disintegrate rapidly. The dark aura around it also dissipated little by little.
"Mother... I'm so sorry... I failed to complete the mission..."
The shadowy figure's voice grew fainter and fainter until it finally dissipated into countless black specks of light, vanishing into the air and leaving only a reluctant murmur.
After the shadows disappeared, the mountains returned to calm, leaving only Wei Yu standing atop the mountain, the golden and white light around him gradually fading.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes resolute—although the shadowy figure was dead, the "mother" it spoke of, and the unknown dark force that was about to approach their home planet, were still enormous threats.
"System, check the specific effects of Homecoming Power (Beginner) and Sentinel Power." Wei Yu silently recited in his mind. He knew that if he wanted to protect his home planet and lead the wanderers of all worlds back home, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible and uncover all the conspiracies.
"Ding! Homecoming Power (Beginner): Contains the power of the mother planet's will, deals 100% extra damage to dark creatures, can purify all negative statuses, increases own defense by 50%, and can briefly buff friendly targets for 10 seconds."
"Ding! Sentinel Power (Recovering): Host-exclusive talent, can sense dark auras within a 100-kilometer radius and warn of danger. As strength increases, it can unlock various abilities such as detection, tracking, and counterattack. Current recovery progress is 10%."
(Currently, only the basic level has been restored; the analytical capabilities have not yet been activated.)
