Chapter 860: Heavenly Fate Disk: Reincarnation Paradox
Deep within the Falling Star Canyon, Yun Yao's fingertips gently stroked the shattered Heavenly Dao Fate Plate. The obscure lines on the plate loomed in the chaotic spiritual energy, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering in the darkness. Chu Mochen's breathing was rapid and heavy, and the Candle Dragon bloodline surged wildly within him, dyeing his eyes golden red. It was a sign of the fierce collision between the essence of the Fate-Defying One and the laws of Heaven.
"This is impossible..." Yun Yao's voice trembled, barely concealing shock and fear. On the horoscope, the coordinates of modern Earth were clearly visible. That was the world she lived in before crossing over, but now it seemed like a cruel joke, revealing the truth of her fate. The System Lord's voice echoed through her mind, cold and mechanical, yet it nearly froze Yun Yao's blood: "Your crossing into this world is a conspiracy orchestrated by the Tiandao Pavilion to repair the horoscope."
Chu Mochen suddenly grasped Yun Yao's hand, the warmth from his palm reaching hers, but it couldn't dispel the chill within her. His eyes were firm yet gentle: "No matter what, I'll be by your side." But Yun Yao knew things were more complicated than that. The prophecy on the horoscope clearly indicated that if they both reached the Void Realm simultaneously, it would trigger a "heavenly backlash," and one of them would surely die.
"So, from the very beginning, we were destined for each other." Yun Yao smiled bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes. She recalled every detail of her acquaintance with Chu Mochen, those memories mingled with sweetness and bitterness. Now, they were like a sharp blade, cutting deep scars in her heart. She thought she could defy fate, but she hadn't expected that fate had already laid a net in the dark.
At this moment, the destiny disk suddenly erupted with a blinding light, and countless fragments of memories flooded into Yun Yao's consciousness like a tide. She saw herself in a past life—the youngest Void Spirit Envoy of the Tiandao Pavilion, fighting alongside a man named Zhu Yin against the Tiandao Pavilion's conspiracy. To protect all living beings, they tampered with the Tiandao destiny disk, but were schemed by the Pavilion Master, their souls shattered and fell into different small worlds.
"Zhu Yin... So you are Zhu Yin." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen before her, tears finally flowing. She finally understood why she had felt such an inexplicable familiarity with him since their first meeting; why, in life-or-death situations, she had always trusted him without hesitation. Because they were two sides of the same coin, each other's closest comrade, yet also their most deadly threat.
Chu Mochen's pupils suddenly constricted, memories of his past life flashing through his mind like lightning. He recalled the days he fought alongside the Void Envoy, the oath they had shared, and the moment he was betrayed by the Pavilion Master. Intense anger and resentment surged within him, his Candle Dragon blood boiling to its peak. Golden dragon patterns enveloped his body, and his overwhelming pressure caused the surrounding space to distort.
"Tiandao Pavilion..." Chu Mochen gritted his teeth and said with murderous intent in his voice, "I will make them pay the price!"
Yun Yao took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress her emotions. She knew now was not the time to dwell on her sorrow. The Tiandao Pavilion's conspiracy had only just begun. If they couldn't be stopped, not only would this world be doomed, but her home, Earth, would also be reduced to ruin.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Yun Yao held Chu Mochen's hand tightly, and the fighting spirit in her eyes rekindled. "Although the destiny shows that we can't break through at the same time, there must be a way to change everything."
At this moment, the system suddenly issued a piercing alarm: "The Tiandao Pavilion's pursuers have been detected and are three hours away from here!"
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, each seeing determination in the other's eyes. They put away their life plates and began to set up defensive formations within the canyon. Yun Yao, drawing upon her Chaos Dao foundation, set up layers of spatial traps around her; Chu Mochen, drawing upon the Candle Dragon bloodline, carved ancient dragon-patterned restrictions into the ground.
However, just as they were ready, Yun Yao suddenly felt a severe headache. In her mind, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out: "Ethereal Envoy, do you think you can defy fate by changing your destiny?"
"Who are you?" Yun Yao asked warily.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you can never escape the control of Heaven." The voice chuckled sinisterly, "Let me tell you an interesting secret—those who so-called defiers of fate are merely pawns created by Heaven to maintain balance. Once they lose their usefulness, they will be completely wiped out."
Yun Yao's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Chu Mochen, her heart filled with fear and guilt. Could it be that all the pain he endured was just a game played by the heavens?
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Chu Mochen noticed Yun Yao's strangeness and immediately came to her side. "No matter who I am, my feelings for you are real. Even if it goes against the will of heaven, I will never regret it!"
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen's determined eyes, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated. She clenched her fists, and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes: "That's right, since we can rewrite the destiny once, we can rewrite it a second time. This time, I will completely break the shackles of heaven!"
At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless golden hunting orders emerged from the clouds. The Tiandao Pavilion's pursuers had finally arrived. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance and simultaneously summoned their respective magical weapons—the Void Spirit Jade and the Ni Lin Blood Sword. Their radiance shone brightly in the chaotic spiritual energy, as if proclaiming their unyielding will.
"Come on!" Yun Yao shouted, the chaotic spiritual energy around her surging wildly, "Even if it is the way of heaven, don't think of stopping us!"
Chu Mochen nodded, and the shadow of the Candle Dragon appeared behind him. The powerful pressure caused the surrounding space to collapse: "This time, we will go against the will of heaven together!"
As the pursuers approached, a terrifying battle was about to unfold. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen clasped their hands, their eyes filled with determination and resolve. They knew that what lay ahead would be unprecedented challenges, but they also firmly believed that as long as they were by each other's side, no difficulty was insurmountable. For they were defying not only the laws of nature, but also the shackles of fate.
