132: Chapter 132 Fairy Dragon
Not only had her state of mind calmed down, but she was also astonished to discover that, in the time it took for her mother to say a few words, she had traveled from the Green Fox Mountain villa to the Fourth Advanced Ability School.
You have to know, Green Fox Mountain is a twenty-minute drive from the school, and walking would take at least forty minutes.
Yet now, in the mere time it took for her mother to speak a few sentences, they had already arrived at the school gate; this was simply incredible.
Ye Qingzhu looked at her mother in astonishment, her eyes gradually changing.
"Mom, you..."
Tang Juan smiled knowingly, continued holding her hand, and walked straight toward the school gate.
However, the school gate was locked at this moment.
Just as Ye Qingzhu widened her eyes, thinking she was about to crash into the iron gate, she was shocked to discover that her body had become ethereal, and she had passed directly through the gate and entered the school.
The strangest part was that the security guard in the guardroom seemed not to see them at all.
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu could basically confirm that her mother was extraordinary.
And this was something she had never thought of.
She had always thought her parents were just ordinary people and had never had any other thoughts.
She had indeed had expectations, hoping that her mother might awaken one day, and had even considered whether to give her mother a gene potion.
But now it seemed that her mother was the most extraordinary one in their family.
At this time, Tang Juan looked at Ye Qingzhu, her eyes gradually changing, and her body began to change as well.
In an instant, she transformed from an ordinary middle-aged woman into a stunningly beautiful young lady.
Although she had not manifested her true form, she already possessed a charm that ordinary people did not have.
Ye Qingzhu was already stunned.
She looked at Tang Juan with an incredulous gaze, completely unable to speak.
Tang Juan did not mind and continued to lead her unhurriedly toward the school's attic.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the wooden door of the attic.
Tang Juan raised her hand and pressed it against the wooden door, then called out: "Yichen!"
Following her soft call, divine patterns immediately bloomed on her palm, striking the wooden door.
But the next second, divine patterns suddenly bloomed on the wooden door as well, and a protective barrier appeared along with them.
The divine patterns on Tang Juan's hand struck the barrier, causing it to vibrate constantly, but that was all.
This barrier was extremely powerful; even she could not break through it.
"It is worthy of being a barrier laid down by the two strongest demigods of the Human Realm; I'm afraid I cannot break it without using my full power, but once I use my full power, I fear this school will be destroyed."
Tang Juan looked at Ye Qingzhu.
The meaning was very clear: to see if Ye Qingzhu could accept the school being destroyed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's expression changed instantly.
Although it was midnight, there were still quite a few people at the school.
She did not know how strong her mother was, but to be able to break a demigod's barrier, her strength must certainly not be weak.
Moreover, once the demigod's barrier was destroyed, it would trigger a significant aftershock, and at that time, the people in the school would certainly not survive.
She could not let so many innocent people die because of her own selfishness.
Without any hesitation, she shook her head and said: "Forget it!"
Although she was unwilling, she still pulled Tang Juan's hand and took a step back.
And Tang Juan, because of her actions, revealed a satisfied smile and said softly: "Your kindness is always something I am proud of."
As she spoke, she suddenly took Ye Qingzhu into the air, instantly arriving at an altitude of a thousand meters, overlooking the city below.
"Take a good look at this city; two days from now, we will have to leave this place," Tang Juan said.
Ye Qingzhu was stunned and stared blankly at her.
"Mom, what exactly are you?"
Tang Juan smiled slightly and then replied: "I am not human!"
"Ah?"
Ye Qingzhu never expected her mother to give this answer.
At this moment, several absurd thoughts flashed through her mind.
Tang Juan seemed to know she would be overthinking and immediately replied: "If we count by race, I should belong to the Dragon Clan, a Fairy Dragon!"
As she spoke, two pairs of cyan-purple wings suddenly bloomed from Tang Juan's back, dark scales immediately appeared on her body, and a long iron tail emerged from behind her, with a lightning ball flickering at the tip of the tail.
Seeing her mother's appearance, Ye Qingzhu immediately thought of her own atavistic transformation when she awakened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"A normal Fairy Dragon is actually not like us; their wings are pink and their scales are white. I am a variant of the Fairy Dragon, so my wings are cyan-purple, and my scales are cyan-black."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and grasped Ye Qingzhu's wrist.
The next second, cyan-black scales immediately appeared on Ye Qingzhu's body, and two pairs of wings emerged from her back.
It was just that her wings were somewhat different from Tang Juan's.
Tang Juan's two pairs of wings were both cyan-purple, while Ye Qingzhu's wings had only one pair that was cyan-purple, and the other pair was black and white.
However, it could still be seen that Ye Qingzhu and Tang Juan were very similar.
From this point alone, it indicated that their bloodlines were the same.
"Child, you are a rare treasure unique in this world, because your body contains not only the Immortal Bloodline but also the God and Demon Races bloodline."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and stroked that pair of black wings on Ye Qingzhu.
The next second, two different powers suddenly bloomed on that pair of black and white wings—they were clearly Immortal Spirit Power and Demonic Spirit Power. At the same time, a three-petaled flower slowly manifested on Ye Qingzhu's forehead, being black, white, and cyan.
However, it was still very faint and not fully formed; it only manifested under special circumstances.
Like now, having received the blessing of Tang Juan's divine power.
Ye Qingzhu was already stunned.
However, Tang Juan spoke again, saying words that shocked her even more.
Listening to Tang Juan tenderly tuck the stray hair behind her earlobe, she said softly: "Your mission is far more important than falling in love with someone, because you are the Princess of the Demon-Human Clan and will become the Empress of the Demon-Human Clan in the future. Behind you are hundreds of millions of Demon-Human Clan beings, and they are all waiting for your return."
As she spoke, Tang Juan waved her hand.
A multicolored glow dispersed from behind her, and the next second, dozens of multicolored glows of varying sizes in the city below responded.
"Do you see? These are all your people. They are hiding in corners that humans cannot see, struggling to survive, and need your leadership to return to the Star Territory, to return to the homeland that belongs to our Demon-Human Clan. Only there can we find happiness and peace!"
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu was already so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
There was too much information; she found it difficult to digest all at once.
However, she understood one thing: she was not an ordinary human; she was the Princess of the Demon-Human Clan!
She stared fixedly at Tang Juan, her voice trembling slightly as she asked: "Mom, what do you mean when you say we have to leave in two days?"
Hearing this, Tang Juan seemed to think of something bad. A trace of worry and gravity flashed in her eyes as she replied: "The Human Realm territory is about to face a huge upheaval. The God and Demon Races have plotted a major event, intending to use the hundreds of millions of human beings as a blood sacrifice to forge an Ascension Platform, wanting to head to the homeland of the Immortals."
"The human race will... surely perish within a hundred years!"
"Therefore, our Demon-Human Clan has no choice but to migrate, leave the Human Realm territory, and head to the Star Territory to avoid disaster."
Ye Qingzhu suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Tang Juan in shock.
"The humans will be exterminated?" Her voice trembled even more severely.
The first thing she thought of was Ling Yichen and Tian Yingying!
They were both humans!
At this moment, she still did not know Ling Yichen's true situation, so she was extremely worried.
Tang Juan also understood her worry and said: "Don't worry, there is still time. By the time the human race truly faces the disaster of extermination, you should have already become strong enough. You can personally come to welcome them back to live in our territory."
Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's worry decreased a lot, but her brows were still tightly locked.
She looked at the human city below, her eyes full of complexity.
For a time, she really hated humans, especially the humans in the Central District.
Indifferent and selfish!
But when she heard that the humans were going to be exterminated, she felt shocked and incredulous, and even more so, uncomfortable.
She did not want humans to go extinct because she believed from the bottom of her heart that she was human, even if she had only half or even less human bloodline.
So she looked at her mother in distress and asked: "Will they definitely be exterminated? Is there no way to save them?"
Hearing this, Tang Juan's expression suddenly turned somewhat dejected, and then she said: "It is possible, unless you can break the existing shackles and break through to above the demigod level."
Ye Qingzhu choked, her breathing becoming strained.
Never mind above the demigod level; even demigods are already rare in this world.
However, she still replied: "But there are many demigods in the human race, right? Even if they cannot completely resist the God and Demon Races, preserving the seeds of the race should be no problem, right?"
Hearing this, a trace of mockery flashed across Tang Juan's face, and she replied: "There are indeed quite a few human demigods, but most of them are selfish people who only think about whether they can become immortals and do not care that much about the life and death of ordinary people."
"Even, in order to reach that level, they have long ago sold out the humans, tacitly allowing the God Race to enslave and manipulate them!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's expression changed slightly.
"Is becoming an immortal really that important?" She murmured softly.
Hearing this, Tang Juan immediately looked up at the void, a hint of yearning in her eyes, and answered wistfully: "It is important, and it is also not important."
"Becoming an immortal means having the ability to break free from the constraints of the world's rules, the ability to traverse the void, and the ability to go and explore other worlds."
"Likewise, it can also help the creatures of the Dark Star escape the siege of the Worms."
"If this step cannot be achieved, the destruction of the Dark Star is only a matter of time."
"Therefore, to a certain extent, humans are also the most selfless; they have a big-picture view that other races lack. In order to become immortals, in order to break the situation, they can even abandon their own people."
"Humans are a race with complex emotions. When they have no enemies, they will fight internally crazily, plotting against each other."
"But once an external enemy appears, they will miraculously unite to resist the enemy."
"It is precisely because they have such complex and diverse emotions that I wanted to come to the human world, to feel human emotions, to experience human life, and that is why you exist!"
Tang Juan looked at Ye Qingzhu with doting eyes.
Ye Qingzhu did not speak again, just silently digesting the information she had received tonight.
After a while, she looked up at her mother and said: "Mom, is our planet very dangerous right now?"
Tang Juan nodded, then raised her hand and swept it across the void. The endless starry sky above them disappeared, and in its place, there were Worms of the starry sky, vast in number.
They were entrenched on the periphery of the Dark Star, surrounding the entire Dark Star, just like a farmer waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree, waiting for the people inside the Dark Star to come out, or for them to find a way to enter the Dark Star.
This was the first time Ye Qingzhu had seen such a sight, and she couldn't help but gasp.
There were too many; so many that it made her hair stand on end and her scalp tingle.
It was also the first time she realized what kind of disaster their world was enduring.
Compared to the demons and ghosts outside the Human Realm, these Worms were the real threat.
At least the demons and ghosts outside the Human Realm were still native creatures, while these starry sky Worms were all external creatures—they were invaders.
"When did they appear?" Ye Qingzhu asked the key question.
Upon hearing this, Tang Juan's expression became complex, and she shook her head gently: "Actually, we don't know this either."
"Because before the immortal body arrived at the Dark Star, there were no demigods on the Dark Star. Without reaching the demigod level, divine sense could not peer at the situation outside the planet at all, so no one knew when these starry sky Worms had been lingering outside the Dark Star."
"When the first demigod appeared, he had already discovered that the Dark Star was surrounded by starry sky Worms."
"Ancient demigods once speculated that these starry sky Worms might have been attracted by that Immortal, and even the Immortal's death might be related to these starry sky Worms!"
"However, these are all speculations; to this day, no one can verify what the true situation is."
"That is why all races are so obsessed with collecting the remains of the Immortal; everyone wants to explore the many mysteries from the Immortal's remains."
"Actually, our Demon-Human Clan is the oldest native race on this planet; the God, Demon, and Immortal races all evolved from our Demon-Human Clan. It is a pity that the God, Demon, and Immortal races do not admit this at all, and even constantly suppress and annihilate us, which has led to the extremely terrible situation of our Demon-Human Clan."
"As the Empress of the Demon-Human Clan, the only thing I can do is to lead them to avoid disaster and continue to survive."
Ye Qingzhu bit her lip gently, her eyes filled with melancholy.
Having learned a lot of cultural knowledge, she naturally knew that the Demon-Human Clan had many branches. Although their numbers were extremely large, most of them disliked war and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
But in the end, the Demon-Human Clan became the most tragic race, constantly suppressed and bullied by the other four races, and even driven out of the homeland that should have belonged to them.
Tang Juan seemed to know what Ye Qingzhu was thinking. She gently stroked the top of Ye Qingzhu's head and said softly: "This time we are heading to the Star Territory, we intend to establish an empire belonging to our Demon-Human Clan, a fifth powerful race that is absolutely not weaker than the other four races."
Ye Qingzhu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why is there such a decision suddenly?"
She did not understand; the Demon-Human Clan had been bullied for so many years. If they wanted to rise, they would have risen long ago. Why would there be such a decision suddenly now?
But she saw Tang Juan smile mysteriously and whisper: "That is because we found an Immortal relic in the Star Territory, a... Immortal Tool!"
