Chapter Ninety-Four: My Younger Sister Returns, the Dao Sovereign of the Mountain-Sea Realm

When he heard someone cry out his sister’s name, Chen Xing quickly withdrew the divine sense he had been using to watch Mount Wanshou.

He had no time to investigate why the person was shouting. In a hurry, he sprang outside. The moment he saw what lay beyond the house, he was utterly stunned.

There, kneeling on the ground, was a woman of peerless beauty, tears glimmering in her eyes as she looked toward Chen Xing, who had just stepped out.

Nuwa stood nearby, helpless and at a loss, clearly having tried to help the woman to her feet only to be refused.

Chen Xing recognized at a glance that the woman was his precious little sister. The instant he saw her like this, an endless murderous intent surged in his heart.

In that moment, heaven and earth changed color, and boundless killing intent flooded the primordial world. Countless mighty beings turned in shock toward the direction of Fangzhang Island, unable to know what had happened to drive this most mysterious figure in the primordial world into such fury.

“Who was it? Who dares harm my sister!”

Chen Xing looked at Nuwa with icy eyes. Even though she had attained the level of the Primal Unity, she still felt a chill run through her from the killing intent in his gaze.

Ignoring any grievance she might have had, Nuwa hastily shook her head and said, “I only just arrived here and found Xiaomi kneeling on the ground. Father-in-law and mother-in-law took Xiaoyao and Chenchen to the human realm for a stroll. I had been about to go protect them!”

Just as Chen Xing’s expression grew even colder, a timid voice sounded out.

“B-brother... I’m... I’m fine!”

Chen Xing looked up and saw that it was indeed Chen Mi, still kneeling on the ground.

Seeing his sister’s pitiful, pleading eyes, the rage in Chen Xing’s heart slowly subsided. He stepped forward and helped Chen Mi up. Though he still did not ask why she had ended up in this state, he first turned to Nuwa, his face filled with apology, and said, “I’m sorry, Nuwa. I lost my temper just now.”

Nuwa shook her head and said gently, “I’m not blaming you. I know you love Xiaomi more than you love yourself. But whatever the matter, you should always calm down first.”

Chen Xing nodded apologetically and said, “All right. Go bring Dad and Mom back first. I’ll ask what happened here.”

Nuwa agreed, cast one worried glance at Chen Mi, and then turned to leave.

Chen Xing led Chen Mi into the room and said faintly, “All right. Now you can tell me what happened.”

Chen Mi lowered her head, flustered and at a loss, and for a long while said nothing.

Chen Xing did not press her further. He merely watched her quietly.

Suddenly, Chen Mi dropped to her knees again and respectfully called out, “I have seen the Lord of the Primordial Dao!”

Chen Xing was instantly dumbfounded. After a long pause, he asked, “How do you know my identity? Who are you? What did you do to Xiaomi?”

His voice turned icy once more.

“I... I am Chen Mi...” Chen Mi said in a very small voice.

“Then how do you know my identity?” Chen Xing’s killing intent slowly rose.

Chen Mi remained silent for a long time. Just as Chen Xing seemed about to erupt in anger, she let out a soft sigh and said, “I am Chen Mi. I am also called Yuran.”

“Yuran!”

At once, a stubborn figure rose in Chen Xing’s mind, one who had faced the supreme being of the Primordial Realm and would rather have perished alongside her world than become a puppet.

The supreme sovereign of the Great Dao of the Mountain-Sea World, who had dared, in order to save her own world, to use a primordial treasure she had fortuitously obtained to suppress heaven and earth, thereby avoiding the catastrophic tribulation of chaos, silently resisting the supreme being of the Primordial Realm, only to vanish without a trace after everything had finally stabilized?

“You... how did you become Chen Mi?” After a long silence, Chen Xing asked with a bitter edge to his voice.

“When I broke through to the quasi-sage realm, some of my memories from my previous life had already begun to return.” Chen Mi’s voice lowered again as she said timidly, “That was when I learned that my previous life was called Yuran.”

“I asked how you became Chen Mi. Possession? Reincarnation? Or an undying remnant soul?” Chen Xing asked, somewhat agitated.

Looking at the cowering Chen Mi before him, his heart ached unbearably, but before he could understand the whole story, he could only harden his heart.

A trace of fear appeared in Chen Mi’s eyes as she said in a low voice, “Back then, you decreed that our Mountain-Sea World would suffer the Chaos Calamity and be completely erased from existence. I was unwilling to accept it, and by chance I obtained a primordial treasure. Using it, I suppressed the heaven and earth of the Mountain-Sea World and resolved its crisis.”

She carefully lifted her head to glance at the expressionless Chen Xing, then continued, “After the Mountain-Sea World stabilized, I feared that you would once again take my existence as a reason to vent your anger upon the world, so I went into the chaos and never returned.”

As she said this, boundless sorrow shone in Chen Mi’s eyes.

Chen Xing did not scold her again. He simply waited quietly for her to continue.

“But one day, I went to a strange place. It seemed to be at the end of chaos. A voice asked me whether I wished to be able to bully you every day. I was still half-dazed, so I answered yes.”

Chen Mi glanced nervously at Chen Xing’s face, as though afraid of angering him.

Yet Chen Xing’s expression remained unchanged as he asked faintly, “And then?”

“And then I knew nothing else. When I woke again, it was when I had finished cultivating to the quasi-sage realm in this life!” Chen Mi answered quite straightforwardly this time.

What Chen Mi did not know was that, at this very moment, a storm of ten thousand fathoms was rising in Chen Xing’s heart.

He knew better than anyone that chaos had no end. So long as Primordial remained, chaos would continue expanding without limit, endless and boundless.

Then where exactly was that strange place Chen Mi had mentioned? And what sort of existence was the one who spoke to her?

To think that it had truly made it possible for her to bully him at will. After all, Chen Mi now was his precious little sister. The only ones who could bully him were his own family.

Chen Xing was certain that when he had first entered Earth in those days, no one could possibly have known, and there had certainly been no betrayal.

The thought of such an uncontrollable matter filled Chen Xing with a trace of lingering dread. If someone truly knew everything about his former self in minute detail, then if they wanted to utterly destroy him when he reincarnated, perhaps they could have done so after all.

Of course, Chen Xing still had confidence. Once his great power returned, no matter who it was, no one could erase the existence of the Lord of the Primordial Dao. This only made him even more eager to break the seal as soon as possible.

Looking at the pitiful Chen Mi before him, Chen Xing could only smile bitterly in his heart, knowing now for certain that she was indeed his sister Chen Mi. She should have merely recovered the memories of her previous life, just as he had.

He stepped forward, helped Chen Mi up, and said in a gentle voice, “Can you tell me what your cultivation level is now?”

“C-chaos sovereign... I only temporarily sealed it before coming back, afraid it might cause you trouble!” Chen Mi still seemed somewhat afraid of Chen Xing as she answered carefully.

Chen Xing could not help but slap his forehead and look at Chen Mi helplessly.

This girl. With her current cultivation, she could run roughshod over the entire primordial world. Even Pangu, though only one step away from that realm, would not be her match.

At that moment, Chen Xing finally understood why his little sister had such terrifying talent for cultivation.

Looking at this pitiful girl before him, who would have imagined that she was a being who could practically roam the chaos unchecked?

Pfft.

Hahaha!

Chen Xing could no longer restrain himself and burst into laughter. Pointing at Chen Mi, he said, “You silly girl, who are you putting on this pitiful act for? Don’t you know your brother isn’t your match either? I really don’t know how much of Yuran’s memories you inherited—how can you be so foolish?”

Hearing her brother say this, Chen Mi froze.

Yes... what exactly was there to fear?

In her memories from her previous life, Yuran had indeed been terribly afraid of the Lord of the Primordial Dao. But in this life he was Chen Xing, the brother who loved her the most. She was his little sister. If he dared bully her, he would have to answer to their mother.

Pfft.

Chen Mi also laughed at her own foolishness, though she did not notice that she had unconsciously ignored the matter of Chen Xing’s cultivation.

She immediately扑 into Chen Xing’s arms and acted coquettishly.

“Brother! Brother! You scared me to death. Ever since my memories awakened, I guessed that you were the Lord of the Primordial Dao. I was afraid that once you learned my identity, you would kill me. I was so frightened I didn’t even dare go home.”

“Then why did you come back?” Chen Xing asked amusedly.

He felt Chen Mi’s body in his arms stiffen slightly, then relax again as she said tenderly, “I missed Dad and Mom... and I missed my brother.”

Upon hearing those words from his little sister, in that instant, Chen Xing shed the first tear he had ever cried since becoming the Lord of the Primordial Dao.
