All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home
Chapter 42 The Mystery of the Flood
The light blade at the tip of the spear condensed to its extreme, and the fortune of all heavens surrounded Sabella. The energy around her had reached its peak, and her eyes were full of determination. She was only one step away from launching the final attack and fighting to the death with Yuki.
Yue Gui, Karen, and Lancelot were also ready to go, their moves fully formed. With the blessing of Luo's light and the nourishment of Sabella's overflowing fortune, the power within their bodies had been mostly restored. Their eyes were fixed on Xue Ji, waiting for Sabella's command to charge together.
Snow Princess was surrounded by a raging white light, and the frenzied aura of burning her origin grew stronger and stronger. The white energy ball in front of her had expanded to its limit, and the earth-shattering pressure swept in all directions. The speed at which space was distorted and collapsed was getting faster and faster, and the entire God Realm was on the verge of destruction.
Luo stood at the back, exhausted but with a determined look in his eyes. He had already pushed the power of light to its limit, desperately maintaining the amplification of everyone's strength, and silently hoping that this catastrophe would come to an end.
Wei Yu's consciousness was highly tense, and his resonance with Sabella reached its peak. All the patterns on the divine spear lit up, with gold, white, green, and purple light intertwining with colorful luck, ready to cooperate with Sabella at any time to launch a fatal blow.
"Let's do it!"
Sabella let out a low shout that pierced the sky. She slightly tightened her grip on the divine spear, and the giant blade of light at the tip of the spear, carrying the power of the heavens and the authority of all things, slashed down towards Yuki, determined to completely crush her.
Yue Gui, Karen, and Lancelot launched their attacks simultaneously, with golden spear beams, holy sword shadows, and black-and-white interwoven energy clusters sweeping out from different directions, sealing off all of Xue Ji's escape routes and forming an encirclement with Sabella's attack.
A hint of madness flashed in Xue Ji's eyes, and a resolute smile appeared on her lips. The source within her body burned even more intensely, and the white energy ball in front of her, carrying the power to destroy the world, crashed head-on into the attacks of the crowd, already prepared to perish together with them.
Two terrifying forces rapidly approached each other in mid-air, completely annihilating the air and collapsing the space into chaos. The destructive impact was about to sweep across the entire God Realm. Everyone thought that a decisive battle where both sides would perish was about to break out.
Just then, a blinding pink light suddenly burst forth from the chaotic space, instantly overshadowing the energy light of Sabella and Yuki. A pressure even stronger than Yuki's swept in like a tsunami, instantly suppressing all the energy collisions.
"Buzz—!!!"
A deafening buzzing sound resounded throughout the universe. The two forces that were about to collide were forcibly frozen in mid-air by this pink pressure, unable to advance any further. Then, like melting ice and snow, they gradually dissipated.
Everyone froze, unable to move under the sudden pressure, and even breathing became extremely difficult. Even Sabella, who had been granted power and good fortune, couldn't help but stagger, her eyes filled with shock.
This oppressive force... is even stronger than when Yuki burned her very essence! Who on earth is this?
The madness on Yuki's face froze instantly, replaced by unbelievable shock. She turned her head sharply towards the direction from which the pink light came, and the burning of her inner source subconsciously stopped. The white aura around her quickly dimmed under the suppression of the pink pressure.
In the chaotic space, a pink figure slowly emerged. She wore a long pink dress, her hair reached her waist, and she was surrounded by a soft yet powerful pink halo. Her eyes and brows held a hint of majesty, yet also a hint of compassion. Her temperament was aloof and sacred, as if she were above all things.
Her figure stepped forward, and with each step, the collapsing space was rapidly repaired, and the chaotic energy was gradually calmed down. The divine realm, which was originally on the verge of destruction, slowly regained order under the influence of her aura.
Without pausing, she walked straight between Sabella and Yuki, her posture upright, the pink aura around her still emanating, easily suppressing the power of everyone present. Even the divine spear in Sabella's hand became docile, no longer radiating a sharp aura.
Sabella gripped her divine spear tightly, forcibly steadying herself, her eyes warily fixed on the pink figure before her, a tidal wave surging within her—she could clearly sense that this woman's strength was unfathomable!
Yue Gui, Karen, and Lancelot were all trembling under the oppressive aura. Their power instantly stagnated, and their moves completely collapsed. They could only stare at the pink figure with blank and wary expressions.
Luo was also overwhelmed by the oppressive aura, finding it hard to breathe. She looked at the pink figure with a look of confusion in her eyes—this goddess was someone she had never seen before, yet she possessed the same sacred aura as the goddesses in green and purple.
The pink figure slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Yukihime. Her tone was heavy, yet tinged with urgency: "Yukihime! Stop! This is a matter of life and death! The flood has arrived!"
"A torrent?"
Yukihime's pupils contracted sharply, and the shock on her face instantly turned into disbelief. She spoke abruptly, her voice trembling slightly, and with a hint of unwillingness to believe: "What?! Impossible! How could the flood have descended so quickly?!"
Her reaction was incredibly intense. The white aura around her surged again as she tried to break free from the oppressive aura of the pink figure, but she was easily suppressed by the other party. Her eyes were filled with panic and anxiety, completely devoid of her previous madness and arrogance.
Sabella and the others standing to the side were even more bewildered, looking at each other with even greater confusion in their eyes.
What is a torrent?
Who is this suddenly appearing pink goddess?
Why does she know Yukihime? And how can she so easily suppress Yukihime?
Countless questions arose in everyone's minds. Karen couldn't help but speak, her voice trembling slightly, yet filled with curiosity: "Who...who are you? What is Hongliu?"
Upon hearing this, the pink figure slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Sabella and the others. The pink pressure emanating from her body lessened slightly, no longer as oppressive as before, and her tone softened a bit, no longer as heavy as when facing Yuki.
"You must be time travelers."
Her gaze slowly swept over Sabella, Yuegui, Karen, Lancelot, and Luo, finally landing on Sabella. A hint of approval flashed in her eyes. "It's our first meeting. I am Sakura, the goddess of this world, and Yuki's older sister."
"Yukihime's older sister?!"
These words exploded like a thunderclap among the crowd, and everyone showed an expression of disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
Yukihime actually has an older sister?!
Moreover, this goddess named Sakura is even stronger than Yukihime!
Sabella frowned deeply, her vigilance growing stronger—if Sakura chose to help Yuki fight them, with Sakura's strength combined with Yuki's, they would have no chance of winning, and all their previous efforts would be in vain!
Yue Gui's expression was solemn. He gripped the spear tightly, and the power within his body surged again, trying to resist Ying Fu's pressure. Although he knew the difference in strength was huge, he still did not give up his vigilance.
Karen's blank expression turned into tension. She instinctively stepped in front of Luo, gripped the Hero's Sword tightly, and stared warily at Yingfu, fearing that the other party might suddenly launch an attack.
Lancelot's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He could clearly sense the divine aura emanating from Sakura. Clearly, she was one of the original goddesses, but he didn't know why she had remained hidden until now.
Luo looked at Yingfu, her eyes filled with even more doubt. She could sense that Yingfu had no ill intentions, but Xueji's reaction and the torrent in Yingfu's mouth filled her with unease.
Yuki stood to the side, her face gloomy, her brows tightly furrowed. Her gaze toward Sakura was filled with resentment and a complex mix of emotions, but she did not refute it. Clearly, Sakura was indeed her older sister.
Yingfu seemed to sense everyone's wariness and doubt. She gently shook her head and said in a calm tone, "You don't need to be afraid. I have no ill intentions. I came here today to stop you, and more importantly, to save this world."
After saying that, she didn't linger. With a flash, she slowly landed on the ground. The ground beneath her feet instantly glowed with pink light. An ancient and massive spatial rift rapidly tore open in front of her. Within the rift, a soft pink halo shone, and the outline of a palace could be vaguely seen.
The portal took shape, and Sakura turned to look at Sabella and the others, her tone still calm: "Come with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't hesitate any longer. She turned around and walked towards the portal, her pink figure gradually enveloped by the light from the portal.
"Come in, and I will answer all your questions." Yingfu's voice came from the spatial gate, carrying a penetrating quality and clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Then her voice rang out again, this time addressed to Yukihime, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Yukihime! You come in too."
Upon hearing this, Xueji frowned even more deeply, a hint of struggle and resentment flashing in her eyes—she was unwilling to give up so easily, unwilling to let her lifelong pursuit of goals fall through, but she also knew that if the torrent Yingfu spoke of were to truly descend, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After a moment of silence, Yukihime finally suppressed her resentment and struggle. Without saying anything, she flashed and walked towards the spatial gate. The white aura around her had become very weak under Sakura's pressure.
Sabella and the others remained standing in the same spot, looking at each other with hesitation and doubt in their eyes.
"Should we go in?" Karen asked in a low voice, her tone hesitant. "This Sakura doesn't seem malicious, but who knows if it's a trap? If she and Yuki are working together, going in would be a death sentence!"
Yue Gui nodded, his expression grave, and echoed, "Karen is right. We can't trust her easily. Xue Ji is already strong enough, and with Ying Fu added to the mix, we have no chance of winning. Going in rashly would be too dangerous."
Lancelot's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he slowly spoke, "I think we can go in."
He paused, then continued, "The sacred aura emanating from Sakura is ancient and pure, originating from the same source as the original goddess, and contains no malice whatsoever. Moreover, the torrent she speaks of is clearly a matter of life and death concerning this world. Yukihime's reaction is enough to show that the threat of the torrent is greater than we imagined."
"More importantly, we have no better choice now." Lancelot looked at everyone, his tone heavy. "Although Yukihime is suppressed, her strength is still formidable. If Sakura is not here, even if we win the final battle against her, we will both be severely injured. If the flood really comes, all of us may not be able to escape death."
Luo slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of agreement: "Lancelot is right. Sakura has no ill intentions. Moreover, since she is willing to answer our questions, perhaps we can learn more about this world, about the goddess, and about Yukihime from her, and perhaps we can also find a way to truly save this world."
Sabella remained silent for a moment, the wariness in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a more resolute look.
She could sense that Yingfu had no ill intentions whatsoever. Moreover, the torrent Yingfu spoke of, as well as the secrets of the transmigrators, filled her with immense curiosity—she wanted to know the secrets of the Earth Seed, and how to truly protect the people she cared about.
"Let's go in." Sabella gripped the divine spear tightly and said firmly, "I believe that Sakura wouldn't lie to us, and we need to know the truth in order to truly end this catastrophe."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded without hesitation and followed Sabella toward the portal.
Sabella was the first to step into the spatial gate. A pink halo enveloped her body, and a warm power instantly surged into her body, repairing her injuries from the battle. The authority and fortune within her body also became stable, no longer as restless as before.
Yue Gui, Karen, Lancelot, and Luo followed closely behind, stepping into the spatial gate one by one. The divine spear possessed by Wei Yu floated beside Luo and entered the spatial gate together.
The moment they stepped through the portal, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed. The originally chaotic space transformed into an incomparably magnificent pink palace.
The palace was constructed entirely of pink jade, with a smooth, mirror-like floor that reflected the crystal chandeliers overhead. The chandeliers emitted a soft pink glow, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daytime.
Around the palace, countless pots of blooming pink flowers were placed, emitting a rich and refreshing fragrance that soothed the mind and body. The fatigue and tension from the battle gradually dissipated at this moment.
The palace's dome was engraved with complex and ancient runes, which glowed with a faint pink light and exuded an ancient and sacred aura, perfectly echoing the aura emanating from Yingfu. Clearly, this palace was Yingfu's residence.
Inside the palace, there were no superfluous decorations, yet it exuded magnificence and solemnity. It possessed both the cool sanctity of a goddess and a touch of warmth and gentleness, forming a stark contrast to the raging war outside and the near destruction of the divine realm.
Yingfu stood in the center of the palace. Seeing everyone enter, she slowly turned around, a gentle smile on her face, and said in a calm tone, "Please sit down. I will answer your questions."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yingfu gently raised her hand, and a wisp of pink light appeared at her fingertips. With a flash of light, a huge round stone table and six matching stone chairs instantly appeared in the center of the palace. The stone table and chairs were all made of pink jade and were engraved with exquisite patterns, which complemented the style of the palace.
The crowd looked at the stone table and chairs that had suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. Then, they exchanged glances and took their seats.
Sabella sat near Sakura, calmly observing her and awaiting her answer; Yuegui and Karen sat nearby, remaining vigilant and occasionally glancing around the palace; Lancelot sat beside Luo, his gaze complex as he looked at Sakura, waiting for her to uncover the secret of the First Goddess; Luo, on the other hand, remained calm, his eyes filled with anticipation, wanting to know the truth about the Flood and the way to save the world. (They didn't even bother to get Wei Yu a seat, even though he couldn't fit, hahaha)
Yukihime sat in the far corner, her face still gloomy, not uttering a word. The resentment and struggle in her eyes had not yet dissipated, but she did not lash out—she knew that she had no right to resist in front of Sakura.
Sakura looked at everyone and slowly spoke, her tone somewhat heavy: "I know you have many questions, about me, about Yukihime, about this world, and about the reason you came here. Today, I will answer them one by one."
After speaking, her gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally landing on Xue Ji, and her tone was somewhat apologetic: "First of all, on behalf of Xue Ji, I apologize to you all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yingfu bowed slightly and deeply to Sabella and the others. Her posture was sincere, without the slightest arrogance of a goddess, only pure apology.
Everyone looked at Yingfu's actions with even greater confusion in their eyes, exchanging bewildered glances, none of them understanding what she was doing.
Yukihime also abruptly raised her head, looking at Sakura, a hint of surprise, confusion, and even anger flashing in her eyes: "Sister! Why are you apologizing for me? I did nothing wrong! Everything I did was for the sake of this world!"
Sakura slowly straightened up, turned to look at Yukihime, and said in a tone that was both helpless and heavy: "I know you did nothing wrong. Everything you did was to save the world. It's just that you used the wrong methods."
After speaking, she turned to Sabella and the others, her tone returning to calm, and slowly began to explain: "Now, I will answer your questions. First, why were you summoned here?"
"Among the myriad realms, there exist countless worlds. These worlds are born in different places. Some are close to the core of the heavens, while others are close to the edge of the flood. But no one has ever known the exact location of the core of the heavens."
Sakura's voice was calm yet penetrating, clearly reaching everyone's ears: "And the world we live in is a world close to the edge of the flood, closely adjacent to the flood, and could be swallowed up by the flood at any time."
"A torrent?" Sabella finally couldn't help but ask, her tone tinged with doubt. "What exactly is it? Why does it devour the world?"
Yingfu shook her head gently, her tone tinged with confusion and a hint of solemnity: "No one knows how the torrent came about, nor what it is. It has no fixed form, no fixed trajectory. Wherever it passes, everything is annihilated. All worlds that get close to it will be completely swallowed up, leaving not even a trace."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn, their eyes filled with shock—an existence unknown even to the goddess was so terrifying, capable of easily devouring the entire world. If the flood were to truly descend, all of them would surely perish.
Karen couldn't help but speak, her voice trembling slightly: "Then...then is there any way for us to stop the flood from engulfing the world?"
"Yes." Yingfu nodded firmly. "If the world wants to stay away from the torrent and escape the fate of being swallowed up, there are only two ways. One is to get the protection of the world near the core and use the power of the core world to resist the torrent's swallowing. The other is to enhance the world's core and promote the world's evolution. As long as the world is strong enough, it can resist the torrent's swallowing."
She paused, her gaze returning to Sabella and the others, her tone carrying a hint of approval: "And you transmigrators from Earth are one of the keys to driving the core evolution of the world."
"Us?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why they had become the key to driving the world's evolution.
"That's right, it's you." Yingfu nodded and continued to explain, "You are born with the fortune of all heavens and the myriad worlds. This fortune is a rare treasure that can attract the attention of all heavens and the myriad worlds, bringing more resources and opportunities to our world. And these resources and opportunities are the key to improving the world's core and promoting the world's evolution."
Upon hearing this, a look of sudden realization flashed in everyone's eyes—it turned out that the luck they possessed could not only protect themselves, but also help this world evolve and resist the engulfment of the flood. This was the reason they were summoned to this world.
Sabella looked at the faint aura surrounding her, and a huge wave surged in her heart. She finally understood that the sprouting of the Earth's seed and the infusion of the aura of all heavens were not only to help her fight against Yuki, but also to help this world escape the fate of being swallowed by the flood.
Yue Gui and Karen finally understood that the luck within them played such an important role. The despair they had felt under Xue Ji's control was gradually replaced by determination—they not only wanted to save themselves, but also to save the world.
Luo looked at everyone with relief in her eyes. She knew that their arrival might truly be the hope of this world, the only chance to escape being swallowed by the torrent.
Lancelot's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He finally understood why the world's will had chosen Sabella and why it had bestowed the authority of the two goddesses upon her—all of this was to drive the world's evolution and resist the torrent.
Yukihime sat in the corner, still silent. The resentment in her eyes was gradually replaced by calm. Clearly, she already knew what Sakura was saying. Everything she did was to promote the evolution of the world. However, her methods were too extreme.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yingfu nodded slightly and continued her explanation, her tone heavy with a hint of nostalgia: "Next, I will tell you about me, Xueji, and the other three goddesses."
"At the beginning of this world's creation, the world's will split into five fragments. We, the five goddesses, were born from these five fragments of the world's will. We are: the eldest sister, Xiqiong, who wears a blue dress and controls the law of water and the power of protection; the second sister, Yinluo, who wears a green dress and controls the law of life and the power of growth; the third sister, Huanjin, who wears a purple dress and controls the law of space and the power of dreams; myself, Yingfu, who controls the law of fate and the power of balance; and Xueji, who controls the law of origin and the power of destruction."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They finally understood the origins and powers of the original five goddesses, and they also realized that the green-clad goddess and the purple-clad goddess were the second and third sisters that Yingfu had mentioned.
"So many eras have passed, and of the five goddesses of the past, only Xue Ji and I remain." Ying Fu's tone grew heavier, her eyes filled with remembrance and sorrow. "From the eldest sister Xi Qiong to the third sister Huan Jin, they all sacrificed themselves for this world, offering their authority and essence to the core of the world to help it evolve and resist the threat of the flood."
Sabella looked at Sakura's sorrowful expression and felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She finally understood why the Green Goddess and the Purple Goddess had sacrificed themselves, and she finally understood that behind Yuki's desire to seize her power and push the world to evolve, there was such a bitter reason.
Yue Gui and Karen also put aside their hostility towards Xue Ji, their eyes filled with complex emotions—they had never imagined that behind Xue Ji's extremism was actually to save the world and to complete the mission that her sisters had not finished.
Luo looked at Yingfu with eyes full of sympathy. She could feel the pain and loneliness in Yingfu's heart. Countless eras had passed since she watched her sisters sacrifice one by one, and she had stood guard alone. This kind of pain was not something that ordinary people could bear.
Lancelot's eyes turned solemn. He finally understood why the Green Goddess and Purple Goddess possessed their authority within the Crystal Core—it was because after their sacrifice, they were recovered by the world's will and ultimately integrated into the Crystal Core, waiting for someone who could drive the world's evolution to appear.
Yuki sat in the corner, her shoulders trembling slightly, a tear welling up in her eyes, her gloom replaced by sorrow—she had never forgotten her sisters' sacrifices, never forgotten her own mission, and everything she did was to ensure that her sisters' sacrifices were not in vain, and to protect this world.
A profound silence fell over the palace. An atmosphere of sorrow permeated the entire place. Everyone's heart was filled with complex emotions: shock, sympathy, guilt, and a touch of determination.
Just then, the entire palace began to shake, and Yingfu's expression changed drastically. "This is bad!"
