All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home
Chapter 44 Sacrifice of Luck
The pink barrier firmly protected the three of them, resisting the terrifying pressure of the torrent and the impact of the spatial turbulence. Sabella, Karen, and Yuegui were ready to go, their eyes fixed firmly on the direction where they were fighting side by side, waiting for Yingfu's command.
Sakura slowly turned around, the pink light around her still condensed, but there was a hint of solemnity between her brows. Her gaze swept over the three of them, and she solemnly stated the final plan: "Yukihime is already resisting the pull of the torrent and the disturbance of the spacetime turbulence in front, but she can't hold on for much longer."
She paused, then continued, "Later, I will simultaneously activate the defensive array protecting this world, as well as the energy transmission channel connecting to the world's core. What you need to do is transfer all the fortune of the myriad worlds within you into it."
"The core of the world will automatically absorb this fortune and complete its evolution. As long as it is strong enough, it can break free from the pull of the torrent and take the whole world away from this dangerous area."
As she finished speaking, Yingfu's eyes grew even more determined. This was the only chance to save the world, and it was also the ultimate goal that she and her sisters had upheld for countless eras. There was no room for the slightest mistake.
Sabella, Karen, and Yue Gui nodded simultaneously without the slightest hesitation. Even though they knew that luck was their protection and the source of their power, they were still determined to go forward—at this moment, saving the world was more important than anything else.
"Okay, we understand!" Sabella spoke first, her tone solemn, as the myriad energies within her body subconsciously surged, ready to be transmitted.
Karen gripped the Warrior's Sword tightly and nodded emphatically: "Rest assured, we will definitely transfer all the luck into it; we will not give up halfway!"
Yue Gui's demonic power subsided slightly, and the arrogance in his eyes disappeared, replaced by determination: "The contract is in place, and I will not break my word. I will protect this world."
Seeing the resolute expressions of the three, Yingfu felt a hint of relief in her eyes. She then suppressed all her emotions, slowly rose into the air, and the pink light in her palm surged wildly. The laws of fate and the balance authority around her were operating at full power, and she began to activate the defensive array and energy transmission channel.
"Buzz—!!!"
A burst of pink light erupted, and a massive pink light array slowly emerged from the world barrier. The array was engraved with complex and ancient runes, which were of the same origin as the runes on the palace dome. It exuded a rich sacred aura, like a giant shield that firmly enveloped the entire world barrier.
This is the defensive array that protects the world. It is the ultimate defense line set up by the five goddesses of the first generation. It is usually hidden under the world barrier and can only be fully activated by using the core authority.
At the same time, another slender pink light vein extended from the center of the defensive array, like a winding river, spreading into the depths of the void. It was an energy transmission channel connecting the core of the world. Wherever the light passed, the chaotic spacetime currents all gave way.
The magic array and the passage formed simultaneously. Yingfu's face was slightly pale. Activating these two trump cards had consumed a large amount of her source and authority power, but she did not stop. She turned to Sabella and the other two, her tone urgent and solemn: "Karen, Yuegui, the two of you, transfer all your fortune from the myriad realms to Sabella!"
"Transmit to Sabella?"
Karen and Yuegui were both stunned, their faces full of confusion. After exchanging a glance, they both looked at Yingfu, their tone full of bewilderment: "How can it be transmitted? We can't control our luck at all. It's like an innate bond that can only passively attach itself to us."
Not only them, Sabella also looked puzzled. She could feel the immense power of her own fortune, but she had never imagined that she could receive the fortune of others, let alone know how to complete such a transmission.
Wei Yu's consciousness also trembled, conveying a hint of doubt: "Luck is a gift from the heavens, which cannot be forcibly separated or actively transferred. What exactly does this Goddess Yingfu want to do?" (Still talking to herself)
Sakura slowly descended, arriving before the three. The pink light around her surged once more, and she calmly explained, "Just because you can't control it doesn't mean I can't. In a moment, I will use my authority to connect the three of you with your life force. At that time, you will feel the life force within you begin to weaken and dissipate."
She emphasized, "Remember, never resist. If you resist, it will not only disrupt the flow of energy, but also damage your very essence. In that case, not only will the world be beyond saving, but you will also be severely injured."
Upon hearing this, the three instantly understood Yingfu's plan. Although they still had doubts, they nodded in unison, their eyes resolute: "We understand, and we will not resist!"
Yingfu looked at the three of them, nodded gently, took a deep breath to suppress her fatigue, and the pink light around her became even more intense. She activated the Law of Destiny at full power, and three slender pink light threads condensed at her fingertips, slowly extending towards the three of them.
"Ready! I'm starting!"
As Yingfu finished speaking, three pink light threads instantly arrived in front of the three people, gently landing on their foreheads. There was no pain, only a warm power flowing into their bodies through their foreheads, quickly connecting with their energy channels.
The next second, a strong sense of weakness, like a tidal wave, rapidly swept through the three of them, causing them to stiffen and instinctively tense up.
Sabella could clearly feel that the colorful aura of fortune surrounding her was rapidly dimming, and the fortune within her body was being pulled away by an invisible force, slowly dissipating. It felt as if her foundation was being gradually ripped away, and the feeling of exhaustion grew stronger and stronger.
She did not resist, forcibly calming her mind and following Yingfu's instructions, letting her luck flow away. At the same time, she could feel that Karen and Yuegui's luck was flowing into her body through the light threads laid by Yingfu, along her brow, intertwining with her remaining luck and converging towards the energy transmission channel.
Karen felt it even more clearly. The divine power around him began to weaken rapidly as his luck dissipated, the white light on the Warrior's Sword dimmed, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face was as pale as paper, and even his breathing became somewhat rapid.
He gritted his teeth and held on tenaciously, without the slightest resistance. Even as the feeling of weakness grew stronger and his whole body trembled slightly, he remained unshaken—he was a hero, and protecting the world was his destiny, even if it meant sacrificing his own fortune.
As Yue Gui's demonic power dissipated, it became disordered and weak. The black dragon that had been circling around him gradually became illusory. His expression turned solemn, and the arrogance in his eyes was replaced by exhaustion, yet he still did not resist.
Although he is a demon king, he keeps his promises. Since he signed the contract and promised Sabella, he will do his best. Even if he loses the protection of the heavens and the earth, even if his strength is greatly reduced in the future, he will never back down.
Wei Yu's consciousness also weakened, the light on the divine spear dimmed rapidly, and his resonance with Sabella gradually weakened, but he still cooperated with all his might to help Sabella stabilize her luck meridians and prevent any errors in the transmission of luck.
Yingfu stood between the three, her eyes closed, pink light surging wildly around her. The laws of fate were operating at full power as she carefully controlled the three channels of fortune, continuously transferring Karen and Yuegui's fortune to Sabella. Then, through Sabella, the fortune would flow into the energy transmission channel and be sent to the core of the world.
Her face grew paler and paler, her forehead covered in sweat, and the power of her origin and authority within her body was rapidly being depleted, yet her eyes remained resolute, without the slightest slackening—this was her last chance, and she could not afford to make a mistake.
A moment later, the three figures were slowly enveloped in pink light, completely merging into the defensive array and the energy transmission network. Three torrents of fortune, like three colorful rivers, surged rapidly within the network, rushing towards the core of the world.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and saw that the three of them had been stably integrated into the transmission network. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without stopping, she flashed and sped towards Yukihime. Her pink figure quickly traversed the chaotic spacetime flow.
At this moment, Yukihime was already exhausted. The white primordial power around her had dimmed to the extreme, and the white light shield was full of cracks, which could collapse at any time. She was being pulled tightly by the suction force of the torrent, and her body was constantly swaying, but she still held on to the world barrier.
While she struggled with all her might to resist the terrifying suction of the torrent, she also had to raise her hand to shatter the fragments of the world that were being swept away by the torrent. Each time she raised her hand, she had to consume a large amount of her primal power. The golden blood that spilled from the corner of her mouth had already congealed on her cheeks. She was in a sorry state, but she still did not back down in the slightest.
"Snow Princess!"
Sakura's voice came, and she quickly flew to Yuki's side. Pink light surged around her, instantly empowering Yuki and helping her resist some of the suction force of the torrent, relieving her pressure.
"Go and oversee the defensive formation. Leave this to me." Yingfu's tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. She knew that Xueji could no longer hold on; if things continued like this, she would completely exhaust her life force and be annihilated.
Yuki didn't turn around, still staring intently at the yellow storm ahead. The white primal power around her surged once more. She raised her hand and shattered a flying fragment of the world. Her voice was hoarse, yet filled with extreme stubbornness: "This time it's my turn."
As soon as she finished speaking, she exerted her strength again, taking a step forward to stand between the torrent and the world barrier, taking all the pressure upon herself. Even though she was trembling all over and her source was about to be exhausted, she still did not retreat even half a step.
Looking at Yukihime's stubborn back, Sakura's eyes were filled with pity. Her tone was urgent and heartbroken: "Yukihime! Can't you just listen to me this once? You can't hold on any longer. If this continues, you'll perish completely!"
"obedient?"
Yukihime finally turned around slowly, her eyes bloodshot, golden bloodstains still on her face. Her voice was full of grievance, resentment, and a hint of despair: "I've listened to her too many times. Because I listened, I lost my eldest sister, my second sister, and my third sister!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, slid down her cheeks, dripping into the void and instantly swallowed by the turbulent currents of time: "Now, is it your turn?"
It turned out that Yukihime was already in tears, but her anger and stubbornness had masked them. Now, all her grievances and exhaustion had finally burst forth.
She knew better than anyone that, regardless of the success or failure of this plan, she would lose her fourth sister, Yingfu—either Yingfu would sacrifice herself to help the world's core evolve, or the plan would fail and the two of them would be swallowed by the torrent, and she would ultimately lose all her sisters.
The eldest sister, Xiqiong, sacrificed her water authority and origin to reinforce the world's barrier; the second sister, Yinluo, burned her life force to nourish the world's core; and the third sister, Huanjin, was annihilated to stop the first impact of the flood, leaving not even a trace of her soul behind.
The five sisters were born together, stood together, fought side by side through countless eras, but in the end, only she and Yingfu remained.
They sacrificed so much for this world, yet in the end, she still had to endure the pain of losing her last sister, be misunderstood by the world, and be ostracized by Sabella and the others. The loneliness and grievances she felt had already made it hard for her to breathe.
Yukihime's pent-up frustration finally erupted, her whole body trembling slightly, her voice filled with exhaustion and despair: "I'm tired... If I have to keep sacrificing, keep being misunderstood, and even lose my last sister, I'd rather be the one who sacrifices, not you."
She didn't want to lose anyone more, and she didn't want to stand guard alone anymore. She couldn't bear the pain of watching her loved ones leave one by one anymore.
"Snow Princess..."
Seeing Yukihime's tearful and desperate face, Sakura felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being cut by a knife. The words of advice that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. She couldn't bear to blame Yukihime anymore, nor could she force her any further.
She knew that Yukihime had endured far more than she had; the grievances and loneliness, the despair and pain, were beyond what ordinary people could bear.
Sakura gently shook her head, her eyes filled with doting affection and determination. She stopped trying to persuade her and moved to Yuki's side, fighting alongside her. The pink light around her surged, intertwining with Yuki's white primal power to form a two-colored light shield, together resisting the suction of the torrent and the impact of the world fragments.
"Alright, then let's fight side by side to the very end." Yingfu's tone was gentle, yet filled with unwavering determination. "No matter life or death, we sisters will never be separated again."
Looking at Sakura beside her, Yukihime's tears flowed even more fiercely, but she didn't say anything more. She just nodded heavily, and the white primal power around her erupted once again. Even though she was exhausted, she still did her best to hold on to this last line of defense together with Sakura.
The two sisters stood side by side, their pink and white light intertwining to form a dazzling radiance in the dark void. Even in the face of a world-destroying torrent, they did not flinch. Their bond and their perseverance were truly moving.
At the same time, the fortune of Sabella and her two companions is being continuously injected into the core of the world through the energy transmission channel.
The once dormant core of the world, after absorbing the fortune of all things, instantly burst forth with dazzling light and began to operate at full power. A vast power of the world's origin erupted from the core, spreading along the energy transmission channels to the entire world barrier, making the light of the defensive array even more intense.
Nourished by the fortune, the core of the world is rapidly evolving, its size gradually increasing and its aura growing stronger. The suction force that was originally firmly locked by the torrent is gradually weakening, and the entire world is slowly moving away from the torrent.
In the void, the yellow storm was still raging, and black and red lightning still struck frequently. However, as the world's core evolved and the world moved, the suction force of the torrent was getting weaker and weaker, and the impact of the spacetime turbulence was gradually becoming milder.
Sabella and the other two were still enveloped in pink light. Their life force continued to drain away, and they felt increasingly weak. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their consciousness began to blur. Yet, they did not resist, allowing their life force to continue to flow, all so that the core of the world could complete its evolution more quickly and escape the torrent.
Despite her exhaustion, Sabella felt the drain of her life force and the evolution of the world's core. Her eyes were filled with determination—as long as she could save the world and protect her mother and companions, she would not hesitate to lose all her life force or suffer serious injuries.
Karen's consciousness gradually faded, and the Hero's Sword slipped from his hand, hovering beside him. Yet, a smile still lingered on his lips. He had done it; he had not failed the mission of a hero, nor had he betrayed the trust of his companions.
The demonic power surrounding Yue Gui had completely faded, and the black dragon had vanished entirely. He leaned against the void, panting heavily, exhausted, yet he had no regrets—he had fulfilled his contract, protected this world, and kept his promise to Sabella.
As the world gradually moves away from the pull of the torrent, the light of the energy transmission channels begins to dim, the once surging torrent of fortune slows down, and the transmission pathways are gradually breaking down.
A moment later, as the world finally broke free from the pull of the torrent and moved toward a safe area, the energy transmission channel was completely severed. The pink light gradually dissipated, and Sabella and the other two went limp, floating in the void, panting heavily as they recovered.
They were exhausted, their life force was almost depleted, and their breath was so weak that they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands. Yet, they still subconsciously looked up in the direction of Sakura and Yuki.
Upon seeing this, the expressions on the three people's faces instantly turned serious.
Sakura and Yukihime were no longer near them, but stood side by side in the very distant void, resisting the impact of the torrent. Even though the world was far away, they did not leave, but chose to stay and block the torrent, to buy more time for the world and ensure that it could be completely away from danger.
At this moment, Sakura and Yuki were exhausted to the extreme. The light around them had dimmed to the extreme. The pink and white light shields were full of cracks and could collapse at any moment. Their bodies were covered with wounds, and golden blood slid down their bodies, leaving traces in the void.
But they still did not give up. They continued to fight with all their might, resisting the suction of the torrent and shattering the flying fragments of the world. Even knowing that they would eventually perish, they still held on there, using their lives to hold up the last piece of peace for this world.
Sabella watched the two figures, tears welling in her eyes, her heart filled with guilt and admiration—these sisters had sacrificed so much for this world, while she herself had previously misunderstood and been hostile towards Yuki.
Karen and Yuegui also looked at the two sisters in the distance, their eyes filled with emotion and admiration. They finally understood that Xueji's previous extremes and Yingfu's forbearance were all for the sake of this world and to protect those innocent lives.
Just then, a gentle yet firm voice drifted slowly through the void, clearly reaching the ears of the three. It was Sakura's voice, tinged with weariness, yet full of relief and entrustment: "From now on, this world is in your hands, Sabella."
"Our mission as sisters ends here."
"Don't be sad, don't be upset, this is our fate, and it is also our choice."
"The rest of the journey is up to you."
