Chapter 1220: The Image from Back Then

Chapter 1220: The Image from Back Then

Alright, it’s getting a bit close to what Lin Nuo envisioned.

Luo Xiaoxue definitely can’t escape the chaos of the Sacred Realm; this Great威天龙 technique is like a little cow climbing high voltage wires—powerful and electric all the way.

In comparison, Mu Yiting is really weak.

Both came from some realm; what astounding talent do you have? The skill gap is quite significant.

Maybe it’s because of her villainous role; she got nerfed.

But wait, shouldn’t a villain have some over-the-top skills?

Well, it’s confirmed—she’s cannon fodder, useless trash.

But who can really tell if what that old man said is true?

You say you saw it, but I didn’t see anything; I didn’t even dream about it.

Lin Nuo asked, “Why are the Sacred Beasts focused on her? Wanting to take her back?”

“As far as I know, if she contracts with one of the Sacred Beasts, it will manifest, and then she can display tremendous power. Of course, if she fails to contract with them, they might think of all sorts of ways to devour her and gain strength,” the man said.

“Sounds pretty ruthless. But those Sacred Beasts are just that; you don’t need to worry so much.”

Lin Nuo casually replied; he had some insight after dealing with the Sacred Beasts himself.

“So what about the messenger you talked to?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.

“He’s gone. I have the image from back then as well. Originally, I didn’t want Xiaoxue to get involved; I hoped she could lead her own life. At least while I’m still here, don’t pile too much burden on her. But since we’ve mentioned this, I should let you know.”

The man spoke, and Lin Nuo suspected he might have been prepared ahead of time, crafting a lie to let Luo Xiaoxue see.

Let’s take a look first.

“Then release it,” Lin Nuo said.

“You all have to come with me.”

“Sure, lead the way.”

Lin Nuo replied, keeping his guard up in case this guy pulls any tricks midway; he’d have to join forces with Luo Xiaoxue to take him down.

Lin Nuo let the man go first, heading towards the Taishang Huang’s quarters, where he didn’t see the Supreme Emperor himself.

However, there was a secret passage within the chambers. He waved his hand slightly, and the entrance of the passage opened, allowing them to enter.

The passage wasn’t long, maybe just a hundred meters or so, lit by candlelight, quite bright, actually.

Upon reaching the end of the passage, they entered a slightly spacious area where the Supreme Emperor’s physical body was stored.

Soon, the soul returned to the body, and the Supreme Emperor shrugged, shook his head, stretched his limbs, and then started to speak:

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“So this body is here. This place is quite unique,” Lin Nuo looked around; there were defensive barriers, perhaps to prevent anyone from sneaking in and doing something to the physical body.

“Father, have you really died…? How long can you hold on now…?”

Luo Xiaoxue began to believe this was really her father, at least this body was.

“I can’t say for sure. Perhaps only until all cracks in the Sacred Realm are completely repaired. Once my sacred energy is exhausted, I will die completely.”

“This…”

This was a tough choice for Luo Xiaoxue. Lin Nuo said that if they didn’t close the cracks in the Sacred Realm, the world would be in great danger. But if they did close them, her father would die.

“Xiaoxue, I know what you’re thinking. You really don’t need to be conflicted. If you must do it, then seal off the cracks entirely. If you wish to return to the Sacred Realm, I will respect your choice.”

The old man’s hand rested on Luo Xiaoxue’s shoulder, comforting her, hoping she wouldn’t feel too much pressure.

“Release the image.”

Lin Nuo wasn’t patient enough to watch their father-daughter reunion; let’s get to the point, he wanted to see the footage.

“Alright.”

The Taishang Huang nodded and began to gather spiritual energy to set up a magic array, floating one nearby.

“Just don’t run off while it’s playing.”

With that, a beam of light shone out, and Lin Nuo was engulfed in white, then began to enter the image.

……

This was an unfamiliar forest, where a frail little girl was struggling to walk up a mountain.

She breathed heavily but finally reached the summit, facing a cliff, speaking out loud:

“Are you calling me? I’m coming, where are you?!”

However, just as the little girl finished her words, her body began to ache violently; her face turned pale, and she looked in pain.

Soon, she collapsed to the ground, showing no signs of life.

She was dead.

She had long since died, but was being sustained by sacred energy, now that she was here, the remnants of that energy were completely gone.

Suddenly, a man in a white robe appeared before them, standing beside another little girl of the same height as the deceased girl.

The standing girl’s soul descended onto the body of the dead girl, and the man in white quickly vanished.

Then the little girl came back to life, bearing a slight memory of this place, starting to take on this new role.

Government soldiers were searching everywhere and finally reached the mountain, discovering the little girl.

They took the girl back, and the scene fell silent.

At this moment, Lin Nuo found he could move and walked to the edge of the cliff.

“Was that just now her true self?”

Lin Nuo asked the Taishang Huang.

“Yes, the other was the messenger. He brought her over. According to him, he used a realm-controlling technique to bring Xiaoxue here, and the next use will have to wait over a decade. Logically, Xiaoxue’s physical body over there is gone, so it just happened to find this body and live on.”

“Got it. So she was supposed to die, and they extended her life by transferring her to Luo Xiaoxue’s body here. And along with that, her powers were brought over too. So you never noticed her powers when she was young?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Not at all, it only activated after she interacted with you. I suspect you might have come from the Demon Realm or the Sacred Realm.”

“Not at all.”

“How can you be so sure? Maybe you, like Xiaoxue, lost your memory.”

“I can be sure; I have memories, so it can’t be.”

Lin Nuo replied firmly. He’s a transcendent being from the twenty-first century, from a world of high technology.

Of course, he didn’t need to tell them that; would they believe it?

Talking about science here would be ridiculous.

“Then why…?”

“A coincidence.”

Actually, Lin Nuo had a good idea in his mind, after all, his physical body was sustained by that bit of Demon Qi from the Demon Realm; it was very possible that this activated Luo Xiaoxue’s powers.

“So what exactly is her identity? Is she also a princess?”

“Also?”

The Taishang Huang picked up something was off.

“I mean, is she also of royal blood like here?”

Lin Nuo explained, the old man was still picking on words, trying to make him bring up Mu Yiting?

“Currently unknown; she may also be someone remarkable,” the Taishang Huang responded.
