“Just now, what on earth happened?”
Yun Ruoxi looked down at her own hands, staring at her palm prints as her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
Gradually, she recalled everything that had just occurred, remembering the terror that had seeped into her very bones.
It was so close!
That smear of black light flowing on the grapevine, it was almost… it was nearly about to swallow her whole.
If the system notification hadn’t pulled her back, she might have truly become a walking corpse!
“What were that palace complex, that faint flame, that grapevine, and that smear of black light? Why did I see them while awakening my mysterious bloodline?”
“Mission, inheritance, conquest? What is all of this?”
Yun Ruoxi’s mind was in a chaotic mess; she knew the mysterious bloodline likely involved something terrifying, otherwise, it wouldn’t have made an Overlord—the Star Pirate King—chase after her.
But what had just happened still exceeded her expectations.
“Right, the system! The system must be able to answer my questions!”
Yun Ruoxi reached out like she was grabbing a lifeline and opened her System Panel, looking straight at the bloodline entry.
Then, she froze.
[Bloodline: A-Rank Bloodline (Perfect Awakening) Celestial Eye Clan Royal Bloodline (Perfect Awakening)]
“Celestial Eye Clan… royal bloodline?”
Yun Ruoxi recited the name of the mysterious bloodline—now unveiled—in a raspy, dry voice, then plopped down onto the ground.
“How… could it be the royal bloodline of the Celestial Eye Clan? Weren’t the royals of the Celestial Eye Clan all killed off?”
The royal family was completely wiped out.
This was the history she had learned from childhood—the Empire, after defeating the Celestial Eye Clan from the Negative Universe, eradicated the royal line without leaving a single survivor.
Not a single one was left.
The Empire destroyed the planets where the royal family resided, then checked them off one by one according to the recovered royal genealogy.
They demanded to see the people alive or their remains if dead.
They slaughtered everyone possessing royal blood to ensure there was no possibility of them ever waging war again.
Though it might seem a bit cruel.
For the Celestial Eye royal family who had started the war, it was a deserved punishment.
Yun Ruoxi was human, and she agreed with that logic.
But now—
It was telling her that she was actually a half-breed? That the blood of the human race’s mortal enemy, the Celestial Eye royal family, was flowing through her veins?
What a joke.
If this bloodline were exposed, she would instantly become the most wanted criminal in the entire Human Empire.
She would be hunted down by the whole Empire.
“Wait, could it be that the Nightlan family was wiped out because…”
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Ruoxi covered her mouth abruptly; the scene from that night played before her eyes again.
It was incredibly vivid, brutal, filled with blood, as if she had returned to the scene.
The young girl’s breathing grew rapid, tears welled in her eyes, and her heart began to ache.
Smack!
“Haa… haa…”
She clutched her chest, kneeling on the ground in total fear.
Helpless.
The mortal enemy might not just be the Overlord, but the Empire’s high-ranking officials behind him. All that remained in her heart was fear and powerlessness.
Even though she was already a second-level star power user, she couldn’t help but doubt herself when thinking of the blood feud—even with the system’s help, could she truly get revenge?
The entity she was facing might not be just the Overlord, but the entire Empire.
‘Even with the system’s help, can I truly get revenge?’
‘No, I definitely can… the system’s power is infinite, I surely can…’
‘And it might not necessarily be an order from the Empire!’
Yun Ruoxi whispered to herself; she was slowly calming down as if hypnotizing or convincing herself, and a smile even appeared on her face.
“Yes, perhaps it wasn’t the Empire after all!”
She stood up, released her hands from her chest, and cast her gaze back onto the System Panel.
Setting aside whether it was the Empire’s order for now.
That problem was something to solve in over a decade, or even several decades.
She now needed to confirm what abilities the royal bloodline possessed and if she could keep it completely hidden—otherwise, if the Saints’ Hand Society were to discover it, things would turn dire.
“It is fortunate I didn’t rush to awaken the mysterious bloodline earlier!”
Yun Ruoxi was grateful for her own caution.
She looked at the panel and used her mind to expand the collapsed details; all the abilities of the royal bloodline were instantly revealed.
[Celestial Eye Clan Royal Bloodline]
[Rank: Unique]
[Ability 1: World As Another Me (S)]
[Create another different self, shared consciousness but different bodies, possessing different bloodlines and supernatural powers.
The two can borrow each other’s supernatural power regardless of distance; when at close range, the two bodies can become one or transform into each other. Cannot be resurrected upon death, power returns to the remaining body.]
[Note 1: Cannot be cultivated]
[Note 2: She is you, you are her, no need to worry]
[Ability 2: Royal Authority (Supernatural Power Enhancement), currently capable of enhancing 3 supernatural powers.]
[Enhanced supernatural powers: Telekinesis, World As Another Me]
[Note: This ability is one of the royal authorities that command star energy, capable of enhancing one’s own or others’ supernatural powers]
Yun Ruoxi was filled with surprise, her mouth opening slightly.
Though she had been afraid after awakening the royal bloodline, she now had to admit that the Empire had its reasons for wanting to exterminate it.
“Two abilities, both so strong!”
This royal bloodline was truly heaven-defying.
Ability 1, “World As Another Me,” could completely be called a second life.
Not only did it lack the side effects of ordinary clone powers, but they could also borrow powers from each other.
This meant that in an emergency, the main body and the clone could both use two supernatural powers to fight simultaneously.
Even if one body died, the other could retain all the powers of both.
However, to prevent others from discovering the link between the two bodies, Yun Ruoxi did not plan to use the clone’s powers lightly in the future.
This “World As Another Me” was better suited as her escape route.
After all, if the mastermind behind the massacre was indeed the Empire’s high command, then after she achieved revenge, the identity of Yun Ruoxi would likely be unusable.
“That’s fine, at that time I can use it to get away from Lin Zhen; I have a hard time accepting his feelings anyway!”
Yun Ruoxi shook her head and smiled.
Ability 2’s power enhancement went without saying.
Even without the word “Authority,” the mere fact that it could enhance power without side effects was enough to prove its value.
This was a talent that could change a star energy user’s life!
“Has it already enhanced Telekinesis and World As Another Me?”
Yun Ruoxi opened the details of her other bloodline.
[A-Rank Bloodline, Ability: Telekinesis (Enhanced to S-Rank)]
“A-Rank was enhanced to S-Rank, so did World As Another Me go from S-Rank to S+?”
Yun Ruoxi formed a soft fist with her right hand; even while in the System Space, she could vaguely sense that not only had the intensity and precision increased, but the total volume had also leveled up.
It was stronger.
“Making a rough estimate, compared to before, the S-Rank Telekinesis has increased by at least 50%…”
