Free Web NovelChapter 304: Chapter 304: The Main Plot Revealed
"They made my child an orphan... they watched as he begged for bread in the streets of the world I built! I gave them a stable life, and they gave me nothing but pain!"
Yue Yue’s eyes, even in her mental form, began to tear up. The grief was so familiar. It was the same ancient, heavy energy she had seen in the fleeting visions of the past. Her lips trembled as a broken whisper escaped her consciousness.
"The First Queen..."
The black energy in her mind suddenly stopped its screeching. A terrifying silence followed, before the shadow condensed into the shape of a woman with long, tattered hair and hollow eyes.
"I am no Queen!" the shadow screamed, her voice shaking the boundaries of Yue Yue’s mind.
"I am a lonely ghost! A vengeful spirit that will not rest until the stars stop shining! I will make their precious world burn! I will make their ’heroes’ and ’villains’ tear each other apart until there is nothing left but ash!"
Yue Yue’s heart thundered. She finally understood.
The "System" had always told her to stop the villains from destroying the world. But the villains... Han Soi, Xing Luoguang, and the others were not born evil.
They were the most powerful species, the direct descendants of the strongest lines. In the "past life," without Yue Yue’s presence, this ghost must have controlled Lin En.
She must have used Lin En to abuse, humiliate, and torture the villains until their hearts twisted, turning them into the very monsters that would fulfill her revenge and destroy the world.
The First Queen wanted the world dead because the world had forgotten her sacrifice and murdered her family.
Suddenly, a blue light flickered in the corner of Yue Yue’s dark mental space. It was the mechanical voice of her system, but it sounded different now... clearer, more solemn.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully uncovered the Hidden Main Plot of the Interstellar Beast World: The Queen’s Regret.]
[Hidden Mission: The Final Purification. To save the world, you must not destroy the ghost, but heal it.]
The system began sending a stream of warm, golden data into Yue Yue’s hands. It wasn’t just energy; it was a collection of memories, a record of the bloodline that the First Queen thought had been extinguished.
[Item Received: The Mirror of Truth Single Use. Purpose: To show the spirit the fruit of her bloodline.]
Yue Yue took a deep breath, her purification energy flaring up to shield her from the Queen’s hatred. She stepped toward the ghost, her eyes shining with a soft, empathetic light.
"You think your line is dead," Yue Yue said, her voice echoing with a divine calmness. "You think they killed your child and that your husband’s blood has been wiped from the face of the earth. But you are wrong."
The ghost snarled, her black claws reaching for Yue Yue’s throat. "Liar! I saw them fall! I felt the darkness take them!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Look!" Yue Yue shouted, holding up her hands.
Through the connection of their souls, Yue Yue forced the soul to see her own memories. She showed her Xing Luoguang and Xing Luoye. She showed her the fierce, noble man who had just risked his life to save his mate.
"They are your descendants," Yue Yue whispered. "Xing Luoguang and Xing Luoye carry the blood of your King. They are the guardians of the stars, just as your husband was. If you destroy this world, you are killing your own descendants. You are finishing the work of the people who betrayed you!"
The ghost froze. Her black form flickered, her hollow eyes widening as she looked at the image of Luoguang. She saw the shape of his jaw, the fire in his eyes, it was the exact image of the man she had loved centuries ago.
"And that’s not all," Yue Yue continued, her voice becoming gentle and motherly. "Your line didn’t end with him. Look at what he has given this world. Look at my children."
In the mental space, a vision appeared. It was the image of two tiny, fluffy creatures. They were twin Griffin cubs.
One was a boy with golden tipped wings, and the other was a girl with eyes like blue diamonds. They were the most powerful and rare species in the universe, the literal reincarnation of the First Queen’s royal bloodline.
"They are your descendants," Yue Yue said, tears streaming down her face. "They are alive. They are safe. They are the future rulers of the Interstellar world. They aren’t orphans, and they aren’t unloved. They have me, and they have their fathers."
The black energy around the First Queen began to crumble. The hatred that had sustained her for hundreds of years started to melt under the warmth of the images of the two cubs playing in a sunlit garden.
"My... my babies?" the Queen whispered, her voice no longer a screech, but the soft, broken cry of a woman who had lost everything. "The Griffin line... it survived?"
"It survived," Yue Yue confirmed, stepping closer and wrapping her light around the shadow. "The world was cruel to you, and for that, I am sorry. But don’t punish your grandchildren for the sins of their ancestors. Don’t make them live in a world of ash."
The First Queen’s spirit began to transform. The tattered, black hair turned to silver; the hollow eyes filled with tears. She looked at Yue Yue, the female who had protected her bloodline and loved her descendant.
"You..." the Queen whispered, reaching out a translucent hand to touch Yue Yue’s cheek. "You are the one the Beast God sent. You are the heart this world didn’t deserve."
"Protect them," the Queen’s voice echoed, fading away. "Protect my King’s legacy. Tell Luoguang and Luoye... he was never alone."
The swirling chaos of the nebula was suddenly pierced by several streaks of light. Feng Yanshen, Han Soi, Cang Yuze, and Xing Luoye landed heavily on the floating rock, their auras explosive and frantic.
Close behind them, the other male leads... Shao Han and the rest also arrived, their faces pale with worry.
