622: Chapter 622 The Heirs

The memory fragments continued.

The scene returned to the front of the collapsed tower, where Chen Yu gazed into the distance.

His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, piercing through millions of years of history.

He used all his remaining strength to peer into the distant future.

Time flowed before his eyes, and the world changed beneath his feet.

He saw the world millions of years later, countless life-bearing planets rotating in the Void Realm, and countless civilizations rising and falling within them;

He saw the continuation of the Void Realm, the succession of the God Emperors, and the Legacy of the Moonlight Festival;

Then, he saw an infant—born on a remote planet named Earth!

The Soul of this infant had a compatibility rate with his own that was almost one hundred percent!

Seeing this, a gratified smile curled at the corners of Chen Yu's mouth.

This world had no spiritual power or magic, no special powers, and certainly no world malice mixed within it; it was a relatively peaceful world, extremely far from the location of the Void Realm!

This person's Soul was so compatible with his own that they were perfectly suited to be his successor!

Although he felt a bit sorry for the plain and simple life the child would have, he had no choice but to do this for the sake of all living beings in the Universe!

If they were to meet one day in the future, he would offer a proper apology!

He raised his hand, and a silvery-white light surged from his palm, following the corridor of time, traversing millions of years to pour into the depths of that infant's Soul.

This was the auxiliary program that Hack had failed to fully complete the Fusion of the Soul with; it was a power capable of allowing an ordinary human to grow enough to confront the apocalypse!

He did not know what this infant would become in the future, whether he would accept this power, or whether he would walk the path he hoped he would take—

But he believed that this person would make the right choice in the future!

After doing this, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his body began to sway, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Immediately following that, his body began to turn into specks of light, bit by bit, starting from his limbs.

"Lord Yu!"

Emily exclaimed, rushing forward to support his arm with her shoulder, "You—what is this—"

Chen Yu shook his head: "It's nothing; there is one last task I must entrust to you."

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes: "Lord Yu, please speak—"

Chen Yu looked into the distance, at the gray sky, and said as calmly as possible: "I have already set the time. Millions of years later, after Chen Yi comes of age, I will have him undergo Transmigration to the life-bearing planet under your jurisdiction!"

"I hope that by then, you can create it into a—perfect world!"

"A world where he can grow, fight, and find companions!"

Tears slid down Emily's cheeks: "Lord Yu, I—"

"Are you willing?"

"I am willing!"

"That is good!"

Chen Yu raised his hand again, using the very last shred of his strength.

Three golden rays of light surged from his palm, following the corridor of time, flying toward the Void Realm millions of years in the future.

Those were the Soul powers of Fu Yao, Bai Yu, and Qing Chan; Hack had failed to incorporate their powers into the auxiliary program.

Furthermore, his strength was no longer sufficient to allow him to find suitable targets among humans; he could only choose world malice.

Fortunately, because the circumstances of world malice's birth were quite special, one only needed a shred of Soul power to give birth to a nearly identical new entity!

It was just like water freezing into ice; with a mold, it could be done easily!

As for whether Chen Yi would be able to find them in the future, whether he could fall in love with them, and whether he could handle the matter of An Ran, it would all depend on fate—

After doing this, his body began to dissipate at an accelerated rate.

Starting from his feet, he turned into golden specks of light, drifting in the air.

His figure became fainter and more blurred.

"Lord Yu!"

"Don't—don't go!"

"If you leave, what will I do—what will happen to this world—"

Emily lunged forward, trying to embrace Chen Yu.

But her hands passed through his body, clutching only air.

Chen Yu looked at her, forcing a smile: "Emily, from here on, I entrust it to you!"

"Help me protect this world—help me watch over that child—"

"Help me deal with the sins I left behind, An Ran—"

He did not finish his sentence; his figure dissipated completely, turning into golden specks of light that filled the sky and merged into the gray expanse.

Leaving only Emily alone, kneeling on the stone slab, tears streaming down her face.

She did not know how much time had passed when she lifted her head, looking at the sky, watching those golden specks of light gradually fade away.

She wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Lord Yu, rest assured!"

"I will definitely do it; I will definitely not let your wishes down!"

"I hope we can meet in the future!"

She turned around and stepped into the spatial portal.

A flash of light passed, and she vanished.

The scene shifted.

Blue Star, tens of millions of years ago.

Emily stood on a desolate land.

There was no life here, no air, no vitality whatsoever—

She had to create a perfect world here!

A world where that child could grow!

She raised her hand, and silvery-white light surged from her palm, turning into countless fine threads that merged into the earth, the sky, and the ocean—

She began to guide the evolution of the life on Blue Star, accelerating the process of the birth of intelligent life!

Millions of years passed!

Finally, humanity was born!

Those intelligent beings, just like her!

They multiplied on this planet, established civilizations, and created miracles!

Emily stood on the peak of a high mountain, looking down at those humans, a gratified smile curling at the corners of her mouth!

Her task was complete!

But her strength was completely exhausted, and her body began to dissipate.

At the very last moment of her life, she extracted her Soul, turning it into a ray of silvery-white light, and transmitted it to the future!

She wanted to be reborn in this world as a human life form!

Unfortunately, there would be no more memories of the present!

But that was not a big problem!

She believed that even without memories, she would still find Chen Yi!

She was, among all of them, the one who most believed in the existence of the word "fate"!

With a flash of light, her figure dissipated completely.

Leaving only those humans she had created with her own hands at the foot of the mountain, beginning to write their history.

The memory scene ended here!

The light gate slowly dissipated, and everyone returned to that quiet, open space.

Everyone was silent.

No one spoke.

After a long time, Zhao Zhao's voice broke the silence.

"So—we are not anyone from the past, nor are we anyone's reincarnation, nor are we life forms created by someone just to complete a task?"

"We are simply ourselves, who, by our own will, have come together again and fallen in love again!"

"We have merely inherited the will of those from the past; we have no connection whatsoever to them!"
