【The Free and Unfettered God rose from the sandy beach, casually brushing the sand off his clothes.】
【His body exuded no aura of a powerhouse, nor the commanding presence of a superior—he seemed like nothing more than a friendly elder brother next door.】
【The Free and Unfettered God spoke with a smile.】
【“In today’s Void Realm environment, it’s truly astonishing that the two of you ventured to another world and came back alive. Quick, tell me—what interesting experiences have you had these past ten years?”】
【The Free and Unfettered God chatted with them as if catching up on everyday life.】
【Wu Yue seemed somewhat nervous, recounting their years of experience in a stiff, formal manner.】
【But Wu Yue knew her limits. Regarding Chen Yi possessing the Great Dao Immortal Artifact and his absurdly overpowered performance, she didn’t elaborate—just glossed over those parts in a single sentence.】
【Chen Yi, on the other hand, was very relaxed, casually filling in some details that Wu Yue had missed.】
【After all, Wu Yue didn’t have Photographic Memory; she couldn’t possibly remember every single thing clearly.】
【“So you’re saying that the Dragon-Man tribe’s next target is indeed our human world. It seems all the preparations made over the years by the various regions of the human world, along with the increased training for the next generation, haven’t been a waste of effort after all.”】
【Chen Yi glanced at Wu Yue, wanting to say something, but didn’t know how to bring it up.】
【Yet the Free and Unfettered God hit the nail on the head.】
【“Chen Yi, Wu Yue is not your second sister.”】
【The Free and Unfettered God called out his real name without hesitation, and Chen Yi figured he already knew his background quite well.】
【After all, since emerging from the Time Room, the god had already interacted with Shen Qingshan and Hua Wuyan.】
【“But…”】
【“Or, to be more precise, the consciousness and soul inside this body are not your second sister.”】
【“What?”】
【The Free and Unfettered God dropped a bombshell.】
【“Your second sister has already gone to the Real Realm, but left her body behind in the Void Realm.”】
Seeing this, Chen Yi in reality couldn’t help but complain.
“My second sister is… Ultraman?!”
What kind of setting was this—light returning to its homeland while leaving a fighting body behind?
“How did Second Sister’s soul and consciousness end up in the Real Realm?”
Chen Yi continued reading to find out.
【The Free and Unfettered God told him that about fifty-one years ago, when Chen Yi was eight years old.】
【His second sister, Chen Yue, had appeared at the Free and Unfettered Holy Land riding a mystical great eagle.】
【The great eagle dropped her off on an island and vanished without a trace.】
【The Holy Land took Chen Yue in, letting her become a disciple of the Hundred Herbs Island.】
【This Hundred Herbs Island was the Alchemy Dao heritage of the Free and Unfettered Holy Land.】
【Chen Yue excelled in both martial arts and pill refining, earning much favor from the seniors of Hundred Herbs Island.】
【Although Chen Yue often said she wanted to go home, her masters comforted her, saying that her hometown was too far from the Holy Land and that she was still weak—there was no hurry; she could return once her cultivation was accomplished.】
【But good times didn’t last long.】
【Forty-two years ago, when Chen Yi was seventeen.】
【The Free and Unfettered God was inside the Time Room when he actually heard sounds from the outside world.】
【One had to know that the flow of time inside and outside was different—under normal circumstances, voice transmission was impossible.】
【The other party’s cultivation level was unfathomable, definitely not something that existed in the Void Realm—they must have been a titan of the Real Realm.】
【Travel between the Real Realm and the Void Realm was extremely difficult, with a barrier far stronger than the world barrier separating them.】
【If someone from the Real Realm could influence anything in the Void Realm, that person’s cultivation must have been heaven-defying—even in the Real Realm, they would surely be a top-tier expert.】
【However, even someone like that could only exert some influence within the Void Realm; they couldn’t enter the Void Realm in person, let alone use power exceeding the Void Realm’s limits.】
【Worlds like the human world, the Demon World, and the Three-Headed Realm appeared to be independent worlds, but they were actually just different planes within the Void Realm.】
【With enough strength or a unique method, one could always travel back and forth between them.】
【But the Real Realm and the Void Realm were truly two separate worlds.】
【Even the legendary immortals could only leave behind legends; no one had ever truly seen them traverse between the real and the void.】
【“What did that existence say to you?”】
【“They wanted to take Chen Yue as their disciple.”】
【“A disciple? Why?”】
【“Because Chen Yue possesses a special soul—a Nine Heavens Soul Spirit!”】*
【Special souls, like special physiques, were a unique racial talent of the human race.】
【It was also a kind of innate talent gained through reincarnation, subject to randomness.】
【But special souls were infinitely rarer than special physiques!】
【Just how rare?】
【Probably even Hua Wuyan didn’t know that the human race had such a thing as special souls.】
【Only someone like the Free and Unfettered God, who had lived for thirty thousand years, could possess such insight.】
【At that moment, Chen Yi was filled with endless emotion.】
【The Chen family really was one freak after another.】
【Second Sister Chen Yue had a Heaven-Grade Bone Structure, a Bright Moon Sacred Physique, and on top of that, some Nine Heavens Soul Spirit!】
【Moreover, being discovered and taken as a disciple by a big shot from the Real Realm—that luck was definitely maxed out too.】
【“That mysterious Real Realm expert couldn’t take Chen Yue’s entire body away; he could only transport Chen Yue’s soul across the boundary between real and void.
Therefore, Chen Yue had to die.
Before her soul was taken by the Underworld, that Real Realm expert made his move, spanning two great worlds, and took Chen Yue away.”】
【Chen Yi listened, dazed.】
【“God Lord, did that Real Realm expert only need her soul? Without a physical body, how would my second sister exist once she got to the Real Realm?”】
【“The other party should be able to reshape her body. As for whether she’ll still have her Heaven-Grade Bone Structure and Bright Moon Sacred Physique after recovery, I wouldn’t know, nor is it something I need to worry about.”】
“So that means Second Sister is already in the Real Realm now?”
Chen Yue had been taken away by the Real Realm expert when Chen Yi was seventeen.
That year, Chen Yi was still at the Black Stone Gang-controlled docks, miserably hauling sandbags.
Now, Chen Yi in reality was already twenty.
Second Sister had been gone for three years.
“I feel like Second Sister’s master is no ordinary person. If I ever make it to the Real Realm one day and can find Second Sister…”
The Networking King was still in effect!
【The Real Realm expert wanted to take Chen Yue as a disciple.】
【Not only did they know who the Saint Master of the Free and Unfettered Holy Land was, but they also knew about the Time Room and could even converse with it despite the different time flows.】
【The Free and Unfettered God had received their notification.】
【Yes, it was a notification, not a discussion.】
【“When I came out of the Time Room, Chen Yue was already dead. Only her body had been preserved intact by the Holy Land’s people using secret techniques.
I felt that the Holy Land had wronged this child somewhat, after all, the Real Realm and the Void Realm are truly two separate worlds.
No matter what achievements she makes in the Real Realm in the future, she can never return.
So, for the family she left behind in this world, she is dead.
Since Chen Yue’s cultivation level was not high at the time, I could use a secret technique to transfer another soul into her corpse.
That way, Chen Yue could continue living in another form.
That other soul was also a Holy Land disciple who happened to die in an accident at that time.
This secret technique had flaws—the soul and body could easily reject each other, leading to death again.
I had no choice but to reshape some of her memories and warned the people in the Holy Land not to tell her the truth until the day her soul and flesh were completely fused…”】
【With that, the Free and Unfettered God looked toward Wu Yue…】
