659: Chapter 659 The Reason for Awakening
Nangong Tian pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any intelligence from the Void Realm? Have there been any unusual movements recently?"
"None! It's too remote here; the Void Realm's reach doesn't extend this far! Lord Nangong Yi has also investigated the entire Milky Way. Apart from Earth, there are no other life-bearing planets; it is extremely barren. It is highly unlikely that the Void Realm will specifically seek this place out."
"Good, very good! Who would have thought that heaven is truly helping me! Since that's the case, I order you, by any means necessary, to find the human who possesses An Ran's power. I want to see them alive if they are alive, or their corpse if they are dead!"
"Understood!"
The communication was cut off, and the bridge fell into silence!
Nangong Tian straightened up, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed at the starry sky outside the window!
Never did he expect that in this out-of-the-way corner, besides discovering an ungoverned life-bearing planet, he would also find a trace of An Ran's power!
It was simply heaven blessing his Tianling Lineage!
The project they had been researching for eighty million years without success might only require a sliver of An Ran's power to transform into an existence just like An Ran!
By then, whether it be An Ran herself or the Void Realm, both would become theirs for the taking!
"Chen Yu, you old thief, just watch from above."
"Your era has ended; next comes the era of the Tianling Lineage!"
"I will let you know how wrong the decision you made back then was! I will make the entire Void Realm pay the price for your mistake!"

Meanwhile.
In the distant depths of the Universe, a giant, solid silver spaceship was traveling at a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye.
It did not rely on engines for propulsion, but rather used space-folding technology to tear open one crack after another in the Void Realm, leaping forward step by step!
This was the galaxy, an ultra-high-speed exploration ship jointly refitted by the people of the Xinglan Sea and the top technology experts of the Void Realm!
Equipped with the crystallization of technology from the System's teleportation power, its speed was equivalent to Chen Yi constantly using teleportation spells!
But even so, it would still take a full three days to get from the Void Realm to the Milky Way!
Chen Yi stood before the porthole of the bridge, gazing at the starry sky rapidly retreating outside, feeling a bit anxious in his heart.
Of course, saying it was retreating, in reality, one couldn't see it clearly at all!
Every time the ship leaped, the Star Domain outside the window would completely change; one second it was a brilliant nebula, and the next it turned into deep darkness!
Zhao Zhao sat cross-legged on the floor, wearing a flight simulator, and was playing a space shooter game said to be from some game on Blue Star, muttering to herself: "Left, left, left! Oh no, died again!"
Fiya sat next to her, holding a romance novel brought from Blue Star, reading with great interest;
Yue Wen was leaning against the wall, resting with her eyes closed;
The other girls who had followed from Blue Star were all prepared to fight at any moment.
Chen Yi had cultivated them so diligently; now it was time for them to contribute!
Just at that moment, the space in front of the bridge suddenly twisted.
A silver-white light bloomed in the Void Realm, and it was none other than An Ran!
The atmosphere inside the bridge instantly became tense!
A few of The girls from Blue Star had never seen An Ran before, and their eyes widened in surprise.
"An angel? Could she be An Ran?"
"So beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful girl before!"
"This skin—tsk tsk, how on earth does she maintain it?"
"Sigh, if I were this beautiful, Brother Chen Yi would definitely take better care of me at night!"
"Little Brother Chen Yi is not that kind of person!"
The girls were whispering among themselves.
An Ran smiled slightly at everyone, then drifted lightly in front of Chen Yi, her feet barely touching the ground.
"Hello there~~~"
Chen Yi did not expect An Ran to appear suddenly.
Since they last parted, she had been traveling the Universe for several years and had never proactively contacted him.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded: "Long time no see, you look well."
An Ran smiled sweetly: "Aren't you going to ask why I came here?"
"Looking at your happy expression, I can tell you must have seen many beautiful things during this time."
"Yes! I can't even understand why I thought that way back then; I was truly foolish! There are clearly so many beautiful things in this world, so many moments worth cherishing, so many moving stories, yet I only saw the pain and despair—I was just too silly."
Chen Yi shook his head and didn't say much more.
Although An Ran believed it was her own problem that caused her to become a Fallen Angel, he was more inclined to believe that the Will of the Heavenly Dao was meddling behind the scenes!
Perhaps it was because of the limitations of the rules, perhaps because of the loneliness of tens of millions of years, or perhaps because she always lacked someone deep in her heart who could understand and accompany her!
But now, everything had passed!
An Ran's gaze swept over The girls in the bridge who were curiously eyeing her, and the smile on her lips deepened.
"Speaking of which, you are also very happy, spending every day with so many beautiful girls in a room—um, that—getting along!"
Chen Yi hurriedly interrupted: "Alright, alright, you didn't come here just to say these things, right?"
An Ran tilted her head, revealing a playful smile: "That's naturally not the case."
"Then what do you want to do? With your power, everything should be very simple, right? You aren't here to hitch a ride, are you?"
"Take a guess, what do I want to do?"
Chen Yi rolled his eyes.
Why does it feel like this An Ran is just like a young girl, completely different from the compassionate Fallen Angel from before—
But this is good too; at least it shows she has truly let go!
"It shouldn't be about Earth, right?"
"So smart, it actually is!"
"It really is?"
"I'll keep it short!"
An Ran put away her smile, and her expression instantly became serious: "On Earth, there is a human related to you who has inherited my power!"
Once these words were spoken, the bridge instantly fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
What does that mean?
Didn't they say Earth was an ordinary life-bearing planet? Why would someone there inherit power?
And you, An Ran, aren't a Spirit Beast, right? How could someone inherit your power?
An Ran explained somewhat embarrassedly: "I traveled to every corner of Earth, saw mountains, saw the sea, saw deserts, saw glaciers—"
"Although there were many desperate things that happened, there were even more beautiful things!"
"I really like it there; it's the place with the most human touch I have ever seen!"
"As for the result—perhaps because I stayed there for a bit too long, a sliver of my power leaked out, really only a tiny sliver!"
"And then, because Earth is an ancient life-bearing planet that hasn't had an Awakening, it is extremely sensitive to this kind of aura!"
"Just that tiny sliver of aura caused that girl's Bloodline to undergo Awakening!"
"This—shouldn't be considered my fault, right?"
