Chapter 713: Sacrifice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Yuan Biyao suddenly turned around and left, Lin Yuerou felt that she had made a mistake, and guilt filled her chest.
She had voiced the words at the bottom of her heart, so she felt relieved, but she was deeply pained for causing trouble for Li Yunmu.
Yuan Biyao’s spirit was going to disappear as soon as Li Yunmu saved his clansmen, but when she saw him and Lin Yuerou together, it was a heavy psychological blow for her.
Regardless of how much Li Yunmu chased her, Yuan Biyao kept running farther away. After several kilometers, Li Yunmu finally overtook her and caught her in an embrace.
However, Yuan Biyao kept struggling to get free from his hands while saying calmly, “Let go of me! I am not angry.”
Li Yunmu suspiciously looked at Yuan Biyao. “If you aren’t angry, then why are you running away? You shouldn’t lie to me. Your eyes will betray the truth.”
“Actually I think you and that girl are really suitable, you are both from the same world. After your people are saved, she is the most suitable choice for you. She can guard your most precious things in your place and take care of your mother and father. It is like shooting two birds with one stone.
“And I-I fear that I am going to disappear from this world…”
Yuan Biyao had already thought of the worst outcome. If everything truly went like Li Yunmu had said, she would most probably vanish from the human world. After that, she would be unable to remain together with Li Yunmu, so she could only think about how he would proceed afterwards.
Since she had already thought of it, then if Li Yunmu could get together with someone else, then perhaps she would feel somewhat better.
“You misunderstand, there’s nothing going on between me and Lin Yuerou! That was just a misunderstanding!” Li Yunmu swiftly explained.
Yuan Biyao gestured at him with her hands. “You don’t need to explain. Tomorrow, unleash my power! I don’t want to continue waiting. Each day I wait, I have to suffer the torment of another day. If I don’t separate from you, it only delays the fate of your clansmen.”
Yuan Biyao’s words shook Li Yunmu, and he became emotional. Could it be that Yuan Biyao was truly prepared to meet death? If the system hadn’t informed him that there was a method to save her, he didn’t know what choice he would make.
“Have you really thought it through?” he asked calmly.
Yuan Biyao instantly replied without thinking. “I have already thought about it. Li Yunmu, this is the best choice for you, so I won’t continue staying by your side. You must take care of yourself properly.”
Li Yunmu turned silent while looking at Yuan Biyao’s departing figure. His heart almost couldn’t bear it.
How could such a beautiful woman be ready to die?
The next day, Yuan Biyao got up early while Lin Yuerou had come to Li Yunmu’s house to personally apologise to him.
“Younger sister, your elder sister…”
Yuan Biyao spoke without waiting to hear her explanation. “If you really like Li Yunmu, I hope that you will take care of him properly in the future.”
Lin Yuerou was slightly startled. Was the woman before her crazy? Wasn’t she Li Yunmu’s wife? How could she say those words? Why was she willing to surrender so easily? Could it be…
Lin Yuerou didn’t dare to believe it, but seeing Yuan Biyao’s earnest appearance, it didn’t seem like she was lying. At that moment, she had no idea what was going on around her.
“Younger sister, I and Li Yunmu really aren’t what you think!”
“Regardless of what you do, I only hope that after I leave, you will properly take care of his parents and him in my place!”
Yuan Biyao’s words seemed like the final parting before death, so Lin Yuerou pulled Yuan Biyao closer and said, “Younger sister, you cannot do anything foolish. This time I came to apologise to you, you cannot…”
At this time Li Yunmu showed up and pulled Lin Yuerou away. “Although I and Yuan Biyao have married, she is also the ancient secret method.”
Ancient secret method?
Countless question marks appeared in Lin Yuerou’s mind.
The Illusion God inside her body spoke up at that moment. “Ancient secret method is something from Origin World. It can change the trajectory of stars. I would have never imagined that it would surprisingly take human form.”
Yuan Biyao didn’t say anything. Golden light filled her body, and she turned into a book full of intelligence which fell into Li Yunmu’s hands.
“You went to the Origin World for her?” Lin Yuerou asked curiously.
Li Yunmu took a deep breath. “En! I searched for all sorts of methods to rescue our world, and finally I learned that this ancient secret method could change the trajectory of stars and was the only hope for our continued existence.”
Lin Yuerou was slightly startled by Li Yunmu’s words. It seemed that everything was for their Earth.
“Then what about her?”
“It will absorb her entire strength, and her spirit will dissipate. From then on, she will no longer be able to take human form,” Li Yunmu said in a voice full of emotion.
When she heard about Yuan Biyao sacrificing herself to save their world, Lin Yuerou suddenly sensed that she had been a little bit selfish. She was surprisingly trying to fight over a man with a woman who was sacrificing herself for them!
She covered her face, unable to say anything, while Li Yunmu prepared to use the ancient secret method in his hands and suck all of its power.
But he was quite reluctant and kept hesitating for a long time. In the end, Yuan Biyao spoke up to urge him on.
“Don’t hesitate! Your people are the most important in your heart!”
Li Yunmu didn’t hesitate anymore and immediately began to use the ancient secret method. The golden light gradually entered his body as if he and Yuan Biyao joined each other and turned into one person.
After Li Yunmu finished absorbing the ancient secret method, he saw countless golden particles glimmering in the sky. They were the dissipating spirit of Yuan Biyao.
At this time, the system gave him a reminder. [Use the Great Devouring Technique and quickly store the dissipating spirit inside your body.]
Li Yunmu promptly followed the system’s words. After it was done, the system spoke again.
[Now combine the power of the ancient secret method with the Great Devouring Technique and pour it into the whole world. After that, you’ll be able to use your world to devour other planes.]
Li Yunmu did as instructed and began to combine the power of the ancient secret method with the Great Devouring Technique. Soon, the combined powers began to bubble out from his body.
