The scene that met them was heart wrenching. Both Yue Yue and Lin En lay on the ground, unconscious. Xing Luoguang was slumped nearby, his body covered in blood, his life force flickering like a candle in the wind.
"Yue Yue!"
"Lin En!" freёwebnoѵel.com
Both sides rushed toward their respective females. Han Soi reached Yue Yue first, his hands trembling as he hovered over her still form. But before he could touch her, the thick black energy that had been coiling around her body like a shroud began to move.
It drifted away from Yue Yue, turning into a misty, translucent shape.
To everyone’s shock, the energy didn’t attack. It floated toward Xing Luoguang, touching his forehead with a lingering affection. Luoguang gasped, his breath hitching, but he felt no pain... only a deep, ancient warmth that felt like a mother’s embrace.
The energy then drifted to Xing Luoye, Luoguang’s brother. It brushed against his hair, vibrating with a sad, silent recognition of their shared bloodline.
Finally, the mist floated toward Feng Yanshen. The High Priest stood frozen as the energy touched him.
In that instant, a massive explosion of images flooded his mind. He didn’t just see a vision; he lived the life of the First Queen. He saw the betrayal of the world, the murder of the King, and the agony of a mother trying to protect her children while being hunted by the very people she saved.
When Feng Yanshen opened his eyes, they were swimming with tears. He looked at Yue Yue, his heart overflowing with pride. She did it, he thought. She didn’t just fight; she understood. She healed the wound of a thousand years.
The black energy began to vibrate, its dark color bleeding away until it turned into a brilliant, pure white light. It shifted into the shape of a small, glowing rabbit before bursting into thousands of sparkling butterflies.
The butterflies rained down on everyone. Where they touched, wounds began to close instantly.
Xing Luoguang, who had been on the verge of death with a shattered spiritual sea, felt a surge of divine power. His broken meridians knitted back together, and his mind cleared. The Zerg germs were incinerated by the holy light of his own ancestor.
As the healing light entered their bodies, Xing Luoguang and Xing Luoye saw the truth. They saw their ancestor’s grave, the one they had worshipped for generations, and realized the history books were wrong. The First Queen hadn’t betrayed their king; the world had been a cruel monster to her.
Han Soi and Cang Yuze felt their bodies stiffen. They were high level villains, men who feared nothing, but as they realized they were in the presence of the First Queen’s fragment, they immediately dropped to their knees, bowing deeply.
"Ancestor..." Luoguang whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
The sparkles slowly began to fade, and the dark nebula started to dissolve. With a sudden pull of spatial energy, everyone was transported back to the wasteland of the Far West Star.
They stood amidst the ruins of the broken mansion. The air was no longer heavy with the Zerg’s scent; the purification had reached even here. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lin En’s fingers twitched. She let out a soft groan, and her eyes slowly fluttered open. She looked around, confused and drained, her "System" silent and flickering.
The entity that had been using her as a vessel was gone, leaving her as nothing more than a normal, weakened female.
However, all the men’s attention was elsewhere.
In the center of the ruins, Yue Yue still lay motionless in Han Soi’s arms. Her face was peaceful, like she was merely sleeping, but she didn’t wake up.
"Yue Yue? Yue Yue, wake up!" Han Soi called out, his voice laced with a new kind of panic. "The danger is gone. Why aren’t you opening your eyes?"
Lin En sat up slowly, rubbing her temples. The black fog that had clouded her mind for so long was gone.
As her memories came rushing back, her face turned pale with horror. She remembered the coldness, the way she had mocked Yue Yue, the Taming Collar, and the Zerg parasites. It wasn’t just a dream; it was a nightmare she had lived while her soul was pinned down by the First Queen’s evil thoughts.
She looked over at the group of men. They were all crowded around a small, still figure.
"Yue Yue..." Lin En whispered.
She scrambled to her feet, ignoring her weak legs, and rushed toward the circle.
The beastmen bristled, their eyes flashing with lingering distrust, but Lin En didn’t care. She threw herself onto the ground next to Han Soi, her eyes filling with hot, genuine tears.
"Yue Yue! Please, wake up!" Lin En sobbed, her voice trembling with a guilt that threatened to crush her. "I’m so sorry... I was so horrible to you. I didn’t want to do those things! I was trapped inside my own head!"
She reached out, her fingers trembling as she touched Yue Yue’s cold hand. "You saved me even after I tried to kill you. You freed me from that darkness... Why won’t you open your eyes? You can’t leave me like this, not after everything!"
The men stayed silent. Even Lu Huoyan and Han Ruyan, who had been "her" husbands, didn’t look at Lin En with the same blind devotion as before. But there was also relief in their eyes that their female had become normal, and for this they were forever grateful to Yue Yue.
Lin En didn’t notice anything. She was too busy looking at Yue Yue’s peaceful, pale face. In the "past life," she had been a selfish girl who wanted everything for herself. But in this moment, looking at the friend who had literally gone into the abyss to pull her out, Lin En felt her heart break.
"I don’t want the system! I don’t want the male leads!" Lin En wailed, her forehead resting against the dirt. "I just want my friend back! Yue Yue, please... just wake up and hit me, yell at me, do anything! Just don’t stay like this!"
