Chapter 936: Awakening of Will
Above the Falling Star Sea, Yun Yao's body shone with a radiant light, yet it gradually crumbled under the divine laws of the Spacetime Hunter. Her long black hair was shredded by an invisible force, and blood trickled down her lips, freezing into ice crystals in the air. Chu Mochen's twelve pairs of wings, transformed into his god-like form, were also twisted and deformed by the pressure, and the sword in his hand, "Guardian's Oath," let out a mournful wail.
"So what if I'm a Rule Realm expert? I'm nothing but an ant before the absolute laws of the divine realm!" The Spacetime Hunter leader sneered. Raising his hand, a bronze compass inscribed with ancient runes levitated, its chains entwining around Yun Yao like a living being. This compass was the "Heavenly Prison" used by the divine realm to imprison the powerful. Rumor has it that even Immortal Emperors would instantly fall from grace if bound by it.
The cultivators of the Yunlan Realm cried out anxiously below. They tried to soar into the sky, but were repelled by an invisible barrier. The Life Priestess Xiao Cui bit her fingertips with tears in her eyes and drew the ancient life spell on her chest, but the light that had just condensed was swallowed by the laws of the divine realm. Just as Yun Yao felt her heart about to shatter, a childish yet firm voice suddenly rang out: "Sister Yun Yao, I believe in you!"
In the crowd, a child, once saved by Yun Yao from a beast tide, resolutely crushed his life-saving magic weapon—a broken jade pendant—in his palm. Amidst the dazzling light, the child's cultivation rapidly plummeted, but his eyes were filled with trust: "You said that everyone has the power of protection within them!"
This scene was like a spark, instantly igniting the passions of all the cultivators in the Yunlan Realm. The founder of the Tempering Body Sect was the first to sit cross-legged, a golden light emanating from his body. "If it weren't for Master Yun Yao, I would have perished at the hands of the demonic beast! Today is the day for us to repay you!" Countless cultivators followed suit, some igniting their essences, others sacrificing their life-defining magical treasures, their faith surging like a tide.
Above the temple, the power of faith materialized like a long golden river, breaking through the blockade of the divine laws and flowing towards Yun Yao. Yun Yao's injuries healed at a visible speed. She was astonished to discover that this power of faith was not simply physical strength, but was mingled with the memories and emotions of every cultivator—a child's longing for the future, an elder's desire for peace, and everyone's unconditional trust in her.
"Is this... willpower?" Yun Yao's pupils suddenly constricted. She suddenly remembered what her father, the Lord of Heaven, had once said: "True Heavenly Dao is not a cold and icy rule, but the carrier of the wishes of all living beings." At this moment, the Book of the Laws of the Lan Realm in her hands trembled violently, and ancient characters fell from the pages, forming new law runes in the void.
Just as Yun Yao was about to comprehend the Law of Willpower, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the Spacetime Hunter Leader: "Since we can't suppress it, then we'll destroy it completely!" He formed hand seals, and the bronze compass erupted with a dazzling red light. A beam of light imbued with destructive power descended with a thunderous impact. This single blow was enough to completely wipe the Yunlan Realm from the universe.
At the critical moment, Yun Yao's Heavenly Dao Compass suddenly flew out, transforming into a golden barrier. However, the barrier continued to crack under the impact of the beam of light and was about to shatter. Yun Yao was extremely anxious, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a familiar presence - it was Liu Yan'er!
Liu Yan'er crawled out of the temple ruins, covered in blood. A strange smile played on her lips, a gray mist swirling around her. "Yun Yao, do you think I truly betrayed the Void Heavenly Dao? You're so naive!" A black dagger suddenly appeared in her hand, and she plunged it into her heart without hesitation. "However, I also have something I want to protect... Now, I'll lend you this body!"
Gray mist and golden wish power collided violently in the void, and Liu Yan'er's body began to become transparent. In the final moment of dissipation, her eyes regained clarity, and she whispered softly, "Thank you for showing me that I can make my own choices..." Before she finished her words, her body transformed into countless points of light and merged into Yun Yao's body.
Yun Yao's mind flashed back to Liu Yan'er's memories—it turned out that, long after the causal anchor planted by the Void Heavenly Dao, Liu Yan'er had already developed complex feelings for Yun Yao. She envied Yun Yao's strength and kindness, but was also drawn to her brilliance. When the Void Heavenly Dao threatened to destroy the Yunlan Realm, she finally made her choice.
"So that's how it is..." A flicker of sadness flashed through Yun Yao's eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve. She clenched her fists, and her willpower, along with the primordial purple energy and the power of nothingness, fused within her. A completely new realm of laws unfolded around her, and within it, all the laws of the divine realm melted away like ice and snow in the blazing sun.
The Spacetime Hunter leader watched in horror as the bronze compass in his hand began to vibrate violently, countless cracks spreading across its surface. "Impossible! The Law of Willpower has long been lost. How could you possibly... Ah!" Before he could finish his words, the Law of Willpower backfired on him, turning him to ash. Seeing this, the other Spacetime Hunters fled in terror.
Yun Yao didn't pursue, instead slowly landing on the Yunlan Realm. Looking at the cheering crowd, her eyes moistened slightly. At that moment, she finally understood her father's words—the most powerful rule wasn't control, but protection. And the power of this protection came from every life that trusted her.
As everyone celebrated their victory, Yun Yao suddenly sensed a familiar presence. She looked up and saw a figure slowly emerging from the void—her mother, the Grandmother of Hongmeng.
"My child, you did it." Grandmother Hongmeng's eyes were filled with relief. "The awakening of the Law of Willpower means that you have truly become a being that transcends the Way of Heaven. But this is only the beginning. The crisis facing the Three Thousand God Realms is far more serious than we imagined."
Yun Yao nodded, her eyes firm. "Mother, I'm ready. No matter how many challenges lie ahead, I will protect the Yunlan Realm and all those who trust me."
The Holy Mother of Hongmeng smiled, and a crystal clear crystal ball appeared in her hand: "This is the coordinate of the Origin God Realm. Your father...he can't hold on any longer." In the crystal ball, the Lord of Heaven was being besieged by the three Immortal Emperors. The purple energy of Hongmeng continued to overflow from the wound on his chest, and the situation was precarious.
Chu Mochen walked to Yun Yao and held her hand: "Yao'er, no matter where you go, I will accompany you." The twelve pairs of battle wings behind him unfolded again, shining brightly.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and the laws surrounding her glowed brightly. "Depart! To the Origin Divine Realm!" As she spoke, the cultivators of the Yunlan Realm responded one after another, and a mighty expeditionary force assembled in the void. And in Yun Yao's palm, the Book of the Laws of the Lan Realm automatically wrote a new chapter, recording the legend of this awakening of willpower.
In a corner hidden from everyone's view, a wisp of gray mist quietly dissipated, carrying with it a smile of relief. Liu Yan'er's story might have ended just like that, but her choice forever changed Yun Yao and the entire Yunlan world.
This battle is not only Yun Yao's awakening to the law of willpower, but also a story about trust, choice, and protection. And ahead, the crisis of the Origin God Realm is waiting for them...
