"It has begun... finally, it is starting..." The voice of the Witch grated on the nerves like an old saw.
Sunshine felt as if he might be on the verge of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
The Time-Space Compass, which had been quietly lying on the Ancestral Spirit Mirror, suddenly trembled as if energized, floating up and spinning rapidly, so fast that it was almost just a blur.
"No way, even the compass is coming back to life?" Sunshine couldn't help but comment; the plot twists were more thrilling than a roller coaster.
The compass ceased its wild spinning, and a beam of green light, heavy with the weight of history, projected onto the Ancestral Spirit Mirror.
Within the light, a long-buried past emerged like a revolving lantern.
Wu Tong's face turned pale instantly, as if all color had been drained from her.
She stared at the mirror intently, her lips trembling and unable to form words.
"First Generation... priest... is..." Wu Tong's voice shattered like falling petals, each word seeming to drain her of all strength. "Witch... and... Wu Yue's... illegitimate child..."
What?!
Sunshine felt his mind was about to short-circuit.
This revelation was too shocking; it was an explosion of information!
He struggled to digest this earth-shattering secret, feeling as if his worldview was about to collapse.
Jing Hai seemed to have completely frozen; his body, which had barely maintained human form, began to twist uncontrollably as if it might fall apart at any moment.
"Goodness, your circle is really chaotic!" Sunshine couldn't help but exclaim; this plot twist was more dramatic than a soap opera.
As everyone was in shock, even stranger events unfolded.
The Starry Tear that had pierced Xiao Meng's body seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and began to tremble violently.
At the same time, the strange tattoo on Black-hearted Grandpa's arm started to emit an eerie glow, resonating with the Starry Tear from afar.
"Buzz—"
A deep hum emanated from Black-hearted Grandpa's body, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.
His once-hunched body began to straighten slowly, and his murky eyes became sharp and frenzied.
A sickly fervor appeared on the Witch's face.
She spread her arms wide as if to embrace the entire world.
"Awaken! The glory belonging to the Witch Clan shall once again descend!"
With the Witch's roar, those Starlight Babies that had been quietly floating in the air suddenly began to stir restlessly.
They swarmed like a furious hive of bees, twisting their bodies wildly and emitting piercing shrieks.
Suddenly, these Starlight Babies began to split!
Half of the infants frantically absorbed the surrounding starlight, their bodies becoming denser and more powerful. The other half, however, seemed to be repelled by something, turning on the very Xing Jian that enveloped them in a frenzy of backlash.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sound of explosions echoed throughout the space. Those indestructible Xing Jian burst apart under the assault of the Starlight Babies, transforming into countless Star Fragments.
Sunshine felt a flash before his eyes as an endless surge of Starlight Power poured down like a breached dam, enveloping the entire space in dazzling brilliance.
“This is bad!” Jing Hai cried out in despair, “The Starlight Power is out of control! Stop her!”
But it was too late.
At that moment, Sunshine suddenly felt a powerful force locking onto him tightly. He felt as if he had become a meteor, uncontrollably plummeting toward Xiao Meng.
“Xiao Meng! Be careful!” Sunshine shouted with all his might, but he realized he could do nothing to prevent what was happening.
Just as he was about to collide with Xiao Meng, a beam of golden light shot forth from the void, enveloping her body.
It was Old Grandpa Plugin's Time Sandglass!
However, this time it was not a complete hourglass but rather shattered fragments. Under the golden light, these pieces quickly reassembled into an ancient Formation Diagram.
“It’s an ancient birthing array!” Jing Hai exclaimed in shock, “This… is it trying to defy fate?”
Before he could process this, Wu Tong suddenly moved.
Like a ghost, she appeared beside the Formation Diagram in an instant, holding a dagger that glimmered with a cold light.
“No! You can’t do this!” Jing Hai screamed, trying to stop Wu Tong’s reckless act.
Without hesitation, Wu Tong plunged the dagger into the Formation Diagram, instantly staining it blood red.
“Hahaha… useless! Useless! This is the Witch Clan’s Sacrificial Array! I will bring the Witch Clan back to life within the Starlight Baby! Hahaha…” Wu Tong cackled madly, her voice sharp enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
“For… the glory of the Witch Clan…” Wu Tong’s eyes were filled with madness and determination.
“You…” Jing Hai trembled with rage but felt utterly helpless.
He could only watch as Wu Tong dragged the entire world into darkness.
At that moment, a cold hand suddenly gripped Xiao Meng's throat. Wu Tong's laughter still echoed in the air, but Sunshine felt as if he had plunged into an icy abyss. The hand that was choking Xiao Meng did not belong to anyone else; it was Xing Tong's bizarre mirror-like arm!
"Your three lifetimes of memories will become the birthing path of Dual Womb..." Xing Tong's voice slithered like a venomous snake wrapped in ice, hissing and sending chills down one’s spine. Sunshine widened his eyes, hardly believing his ears.
What the hell? The birthing path? Could it be that Xiao Meng's three lifetimes of memories were to be used as some sort of... reproductive tool?! This plot was beyond anything he could comprehend!
Just then, something even more horrifying occurred. A phantom shadow suddenly emerged from behind Black-hearted Grandpa. The shadow twisted and morphed into a gigantic Serpent-shaped Uterus! It opened its gaping maw and swallowed Black-hearted Grandpa whole.
Sunshine felt his stomach churn. The scene was too intense; it was downright restricted! He couldn't help but internally complain: the Witch Clan's preferences were just too twisted!
"Oh my god, is Black-hearted Grandpa about to be 'borrowed for pregnancy'?!" Sunshine exclaimed, feeling utterly unwell.
Even more bizarrely, the Starlight Babies floating in the air reflected both Wu Tong and the Witch in their hollow eyes. Those empty gazes seemed to come from hell itself, instilling an overwhelming sense of dread.
Sunshine felt as if he were trapped in a massive Kaleidoscope, with everything around him twisting and distorting, all logic and common sense evaporating. He could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before him.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, a sudden change occurred! The Starry Tear that had pierced through Xiao Meng's body erupted in dazzling light. It shot forth like a runaway meteor, carrying the power to obliterate everything as it aimed directly at the Witch's heart!
Time seemed to freeze. Everyone's gaze was fixed on that tiny droplet of tear.
The face of the Witch was marked by a sickly fervor, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger.
A soft thud echoed as the Starry Tear pierced through the Witch's heart without resistance. Her body jolted violently, and the expression on her face froze instantly.
Slowly, she lowered her head to gaze at the tear shimmering with an eerie glow embedded in her chest.
"This... this is impossible..." The Witch's voice turned weak and hoarse, as if she could collapse at any moment.
Sunshine's heart raced uncontrollably; he held his breath, fixated on the Witch. He knew that something far more terrifying was about to unfold.
Just when he thought everything would come to an end, a deep voice suddenly resonated in the space.
"Mother, you have done enough for me..."
Immediately, the Witch's body began to tremble violently. Her skin cracked inch by inch, black fissures spreading like a spider's web.
"Ka Cha—Ka Cha—"
A chilling sound of shattering echoed through the air.
Suddenly, a pale hand burst forth from the Witch's chest cavity.
The hand was long and twisted, resembling a claw from hell.
Sunshine's pupils constricted sharply as an unprecedented wave of terror washed over him.
What... what is that?!
Who is the owner of that hand?!
Before he could react, a figure slowly crawled out from within the Witch...
"Xing Yuan, you..." Jing Hai's voice was filled with shock and fear.
Xing Yuan gradually lifted his head, revealing a pale yet handsome face.
His eyes were hollow and cold, as if they did not belong to this world.
In his palm, a crystal emitting a faint blue light was slowly rotating... The Ancestral Spirit Core had been birthed within the Witch...
