214: Chapter 214 A Century (2)

Twenty years later.

"Third Senior Sister, this is the divine domain where the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan is located." Cao Yang and Third Senior Sister Hua Xinyu stood on the deck of a small spaceship, gazing at the vast starry sky ahead.

They had already arrived at the Black Dragon Star Domain, which was sandwiched between the Azure Divine Domain and Baichuan Holy Academy.

This Star Domain used to be the territory of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan, but since the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan was annihilated by Eldest Senior Sister's Revered Master, Empress Luoshen, it had become a vassal Star Domain of Baichuan Holy Academy.

However, with the destruction of Baichuan Holy Academy by Cao Yang, it had now become an independent medium-sized Star Domain.

A trace of anticipation and nervousness revealed itself in Hua Xinyu's eyes. "Junior Brother, will there really be news of my father here? This is our last hope of finding him."

She tightly gripped the necklace in her hand; it was the only connection between her and her father.

Cao Yang gently patted Hua Xinyu's shoulder to comfort her. "Don't worry, Third Senior Sister. Although there might not be direct clues about your father here, we can find some traces from the ruins of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan and the remaining branch tribes. Perhaps we can discover some related information."

Hua Xinyu nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Alright, I'll do my best to try. But if I can't find any clues, I don't know what I'll do..."

Cao Yang looked at Hua Xinyu firmly. "Don't worry, no matter what, I will stay by your side. Even if we can't find your father's whereabouts, we will continue searching. I believe that one day, we will find the answer."

Hua Xinyu glanced at Cao Yang gratefully. "Thank you, Junior Brother. Without your support, I might have given up long ago."

The two entered the Black Dragon Star Domain and landed on a planet. This planet was once one of the important strongholds of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan, but it had been abandoned for many years.

Hua Xinyu observed the surrounding environment, a complex surge of emotions rising in her heart.

"Is this the site of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan ruins? It looks very ancient," Cao Yang remarked with emotion.

Hua Xinyu nodded. "Yes, this was once their home, but now only ruins and relics remain. Perhaps we can find some clues about my father here."

They walked along a desolate street, flanked by dilapidated buildings and incomplete statues.

These were all witnesses to the former glory of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan, but they had now turned to dust.

Hua Xinyu stopped in her tracks and carefully observed a giant black divine dragon statue.

The statue's eyes seemed to flicker with a faint light, as if telling of past glory.

"This statue is the symbol of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan; perhaps it hides some kind of secret," Hua Xinyu said softly.

Cao Yang approached the statue and carefully examined its surface. Suddenly, he noticed a line of tiny text at the base of the statue.

"What is this?" Cao Yang asked curiously.

Hua Xinyu stepped forward and carefully identified the characters. "This is an ancient Divine Script that only members of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan can decipher. It seems we need to find someone who understands this language to help."

Cao Yang frowned. "But where can we find such a person? This place has been abandoned for a long time; it's hard to find living members of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan."

Hua Xinyu pondered for a moment and then said, "Perhaps we can check the nearby planets. Maybe there are some survivors or people from the branch tribes who understand the history of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan."

So, they decided to leave this planet and explore other worlds.

Along the way, they encountered abandoned space stations and crashed starships, all of which showed the prosperity and strength of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan in the past.

Finally, they found an inhabited planet. Various races lived here, including descendants of some branch tribes of the Astral Divine Dragon Clan.

Hua Xinyu and Cao Yang inquired throughout the city, trying to find someone who understood the history of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan. After some effort, they finally met an elderly God Race scholar.

This scholar was named Ye Ying, and he had deep research into the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan.

Upon hearing Hua Xinyu's request, he readily agreed to help them decipher the script on the statue.

Ye Ying took them back to the Black Dragon Star Domain and arrived before that giant dragon statue.

He gazed at the statue, the light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"These characters record a period of history of the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan, mentioning their origins and Legacy," Ye Ying explained.

Hua Xinyu asked urgently, "Is there any news about my father?"

Ye Ying shook his head. "I'm sorry, there's no mention of individual names or specific events here. But these words might guide you to find more clues."

Hua Xinyu sighed in disappointment, but she did not give up hope.

She knew that as long as she persevered, she would eventually find the answer.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye Ying. If there are any new discoveries in the future, please let us know at any time," Hua Xinyu said gratefully.

Ye Ying nodded with a smile. "Of course, I will keep an eye on the progress of this matter. Good luck to you!"

"System, do you have a way to find the whereabouts of Third Senior Sister's father?" Cao Yang asked in his mind.

"Ding! Revered Master, it is possible. As long as there is something related to Sister Xinyu's father, and by spending fifty thousand sign-in points, Xiao Tong can borrow the Karma Dao of this Universe to find his location."

"Third Senior Sister, I have a way to find your father's location. However, it might consume the necklace in your hand," Cao Yang said to Hua Xinyu after Ye Ying had left.

"Really? Junior Brother!" Hua Xinyu's somewhat dejected mood began to brighten.

"It's true, but it requires a price, so your necklace might..."

"It's fine, as long as I can find news of my father."

Hua Xinyu handed the necklace in her hand to Cao Yang.

"System, find the whereabouts of Third Senior Sister's father," Cao Yang thought as he took the necklace.

"Ding! Very well, Revered Master. Fifty thousand sign-in points have been spent. The whereabouts of Sister Xinyu's father have been found."

As the System's loli voice rang out, the necklace in Cao Yang's hand turned into points of light and drifted outside the Divine Realm.

Soon, an illusory member of the Demon Race appeared before the two of them.

"Father, it's me, Xiao You!" Hua Xinyu cried out anxiously. Looking at the gradually familiar face, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The illusory Demon Race member finally solidified a bit and could speak. "How did I get here? Xiao You?"

"Xiao You, have you grown this big already? It's good that you grew up safely." Seeing Hua Xinyu, a trace of guilt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"Father, why do you only have a sliver of consciousness left? Where are you? I'll go find you," Hua Xinyu said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao You, what about your mother? Is she doing well? I'm sorry for what I did to her back then."

"Mother has already been rescued by Junior Brother. She is doing very well now."

"That's good then." The illusory Demon Race member nodded.

"Xiao You, stop talking and listen to me. I feel that my consciousness cannot exist for much longer."

Hua Xinyu nodded, deeply saddened; she actually already knew her father's condition.

"I have been dead for a long time. Now, my Reincarnation bodies have already reincarnated in other Universes where they don't Cultivate and are just Mortals. Originally, this conscious body of mine had a chance to lead him onto the path of cultivation, but unexpectedly, it was brought back to the Divine Realm by a mysterious power. Perhaps this is heaven's will."

"Back then, I was a Prodigy of the Immortal Realm. I arrived by accident and joined the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan. However, my demonic heart was too heavy, and I stole one of their God Emperor Weapons and fled to the myriad worlds. Finally, I encountered your mother in the Tianxuan Realm. At that time, seeing how radiant Ye Lan was, I had evil thoughts. I am sorry for what I did to her."

"Xiao You, don't seek revenge for me either. I let down the Black Obsidian Divine Dragon Clan and your mother. Let her find a Dao Companion if she meets someone she likes. My broken consciousness is about to dissipate; let me atone for my own sins."

After saying this, the illusory Demon Race member began to slowly fade away.

"No, Father! I can fish your past self out from the River of Time!" Hua Xinyu said anxiously.

The phantom shook its head. "No need, Xiao You. My past self is just a sinful period of my life. Let my Reincarnation body live a good life as a good person. Moreover, doing that might affect my Reincarnation body. You and Ye Lan must be well."

After speaking, the illusory Demon Race member turned into points of light and dissipated into the starry sky.

Hua Xinyu leaned on Cao Yang's shoulder and wept loudly in grief.

"There, there. I'm here. Your mother and I will always be with you." Cao Yang gently patted Hua Xinyu's back.
