Chapter 2402: Two Lifetimes (2)
Hongyue was immediately drawn to the familiar power emanating from Yue Yun.
"This... The Tree of Life? How could you...?" Hongyue was shocked. The Tree of Life was exclusive to Yun Lintian. How could this woman possess it?
Yue Yun remained silent, staring at Hongyue's face. Although her body size was slightly different from her mother's, Hongyue was indeed a carbon copy of her. More precisely, she was her mother in this timeline.
Hongyue saw myriad emotions in Yue Yun's eyes and suddenly felt the urge to hug her.
I must be crazy... Hongyue was shocked by her own thoughts. She actually wanted to get close to this woman!
The two stared at each other for a while before Hongyue pulled her arm back. "Thank you for saving me. But I know my condition. Your power is useless on me."
"It's not," Yue Yun said and raised her palm. A strange chaotic aura gradually emanated from it. It was something Hongyue had never seen before.
As the energy touched the crystal on Hongyue's arm, it gradually melted and disappeared.
"This power..." Hongyue was utterly shocked.
Yue Yun retracted her hand. "It's called Chaos power. A perfect balance between Yin and Yang, creation and destruction, life and death."
Hongyue returned to her senses and looked at Yue Yun in shock. "You... Who are you? And how do you possess the Tree of Life's power? Moreover, the moon energy in your body is... very similar to mine."
"My name is Yue Yun. I am a descendant of the Divine Moon Clan, just like you," Yue Yun said softly. "Actually... I don't belong to this world. Well, I'm not a native of this timeline."
"What do you mean?" Hongyue was confused.
"I came from another timeline where the Divine Moon Clan was destroyed by outlaws." Yue Yun took out the paintings of Yue Hong and Yue Lan. "These are our leaders."
Hongyue was immediately drawn to the paintings. Her pupils shrank as she saw a familiar face. "Lanyue..." she subconsciously cried out.
"Her name is Yue Lan. Similar to Lanyue in this timeline, she sacrificed herself for Yue Hong," Yue Yun said with mixed emotions. She didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.
Hongyue grabbed the paintings and looked at them carefully. Except for their noble aura, both women strongly resembled her and Lanyue.
"They..." Hongyue wanted to ask something, even though she already knew the answer.
"Yes. They are gone," Yue Yun said sorrowfully. "Yue Hong fought the enemy to her last breath. I took the banner from her and led our Divine Moon Clan to charge against the outlaws. Unfortunately... I couldn't defeat them."
Hongyue's mind raced as she tried to process the information. It was too unreal. There was actually a parallel world, and there was a twin similar to her and Lanyue. Everything was unbelievable.
She took a few deep breaths to calm down and asked with a serious expression, "What's your purpose in coming here? And you haven't answered my question about your power."
"My purpose isn't that complicated. It's to defeat the outlaws and prevent this Primal Chaos from following in the footsteps of my own," Yue Yun said gently.
"As for my power," she paused for a moment and continued, "I inherited it from Yun Lintian... More precisely, he is my biological father."
Hongyue's eyes widened in shock. "Your... Your biological father? How?"
"It's a bit complicated. He was brought to my timeline and had a child with Yue Hong. However, he isn't aware of it. Someone sealed his memory," Yue Yun explained gently as she gazed into Hongyue's eyes. "You are my other mother."
Hongyue was dumbfounded and subconsciously glanced at the painting of Yue Hong, who resembled her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"This..." she stammered. Her emotions were incredibly complicated. Although she didn't give birth to Yue Yun, she felt as though Yue Yun were genuinely her daughter. Moreover, she and Yun Lintian actually... Just thinking about it overwhelmed Hongyue with indescribable feelings.
"You like him too, right?" Yue Yun said with a smile. "I heard that you have been with him since he was young. You must have felt something."
"No way..." Hongyue shook her head. "It's impossible."
Yue Yun chuckled. "You have no experience in this, but you know it deep down. Have you ever felt jealous of the women around him?"
"I..." Hongyue wanted to disagree but found she couldn't. Recalling how she felt when she saw Yun Lintian with those women, she admitted to a degree of jealousy.
"I can see that your personality is similar to my mother's," Yue Yun added. "Don't be like her, afraid to face her own feelings."
Hongyue fell silent. Her feelings for Yun Lintian weren't exactly love but more like a deep bond. She had witnessed his growth, watching him climb the ladder of power step by step. It would be a lie to deny the special bond between them, unlike that with any other woman around him.
"My mother only spent one night with him, and the time they knew each other wasn't even a full day. However, I know she fell in love with him. Perhaps she was influenced by your feelings for him in this timeline," Yue Yun said softly.
"If possible, I don't want you to have regrets like my mother. No matter how much she wanted to see him again, it was impossible. Don't wait until it reaches that point."
Hongyue stared at the painting of Yue Hong for a long time and said, "Since she is me, and I am her, you are my daughter as well."
Her eyes filled with a rare tenderness as she looked at Yue Yun. "It must be hard on you."
Yue Yun's body shook, and tears welled up in her eyes. She threw herself into Hongyue's arms and sobbed. The dignified Divine Moon Clan Leader was instantly reduced to a fragile young
girl.
Hongyue's complicated emotions hadn't disappeared, but she was willing to accept Yue Yun wholeheartedly. Perhaps she, too, was influenced by Yue Hong from the other timeline.
The two hugged for a while before Yue Yun pulled back. "Please don't tell him about me. He cannot afford to be distracted right now."
"I know," Hongyue nodded. "How could he recover his memory?"
"Someone will remove the seal when the time comes," Yue Yun said softly.
"Do you know this person?" Hongyue asked.
"Yes," Yue Yun said in a deep voice. "You should have met her before."
Hongyue suddenly thought of the mysterious woman who brought her to the Azure World.
"Tell me more about your world, especially these outlaws."
