Darkness swallowed Kael.He couldn’t see Lucy.He couldn’t hear Nova crying for him.Even the Primordial Heart had disappeared from his hand.All that remained was an endless void and a voice that had called him son.“Who are you?”His words echoed into the darkness.A faint golden light appeared in the distance.Within it stood a man wearing a simple white robe. His long silver hair flowed behind him, and his face was strikingly similar to Kael’s.But the man’s eyes were different.They held the exhaustion of someone who had watched countless worlds rise and fall.“Have you truly forgotten me?”Kael stared at him.“I don’t remember you.”The man smiled sadly.“I know.”He raised a hand, and the darkness around them dissolved.Kael found himself standing inside a magnificent palace. Golden pillars stretched toward an invisible ceiling, while countless stars shone beneath a transparent floor.At the center stood a small wooden bed.A little boy sat on it, clutching a wooden sword.Kael

CRACK!The Primordial Heart split apart in Kael’s hand.A thin black eye opened inside the fractured crystal, staring directly into his soul.Then it smiled.“Thank you for opening the door, Guardian.”Kael’s expression changed.Something was wrong.The voice didn’t belong to Lucien.It wasn’t the false Heavenly Emperor’s voice either.This presence felt different. Older. Colder. As though it had existed before darkness and light had acquired their meanings.Even the Origin Devourer fell silent.Beyond the fissure, Lucien suddenly clutched his chest.“No…”His golden eyes widened with terror.“That voice!”The black flames surrounding him began to retreat.For the first time since appearing, the boy looked genuinely afraid.“Brother!” he screamed. “GET AWAY FROM THE HEART!”Kael barely had time to react.A black tendril burst from the fractured crystal and wrapped around his wrist.BOOM!An enormous wave of energy erupted from his body.The courtyard disappeared beneath a storm of gol

“Found you, little vessel.”The voice came from beyond the裂缝 in the sky.It wasn’t loud.It didn’t need to be.The moment those words fell, every living creature in Ravenhart Clan collapsed to its knees. Trees withered instantly. The ground lost its color, and the spiritual energy flowing through the surrounding mountains vanished.Even the air seemed afraid to move.Veyr stared at the opening in the sky.For the first time since his appearance, the ancient First Guardian looked genuinely terrified.“No…” he whispered. “That thing should have died with the Primordial Realm.”The grey-robed visitor stumbled backward.“Impossible. The Primordial Realm was destroyed three thousand years ago. Nothing survived that catastrophe!”A massive finger emerged from the裂缝.Then another.Something on the other side was pulling the heavens apart.Kael glanced at the approaching fingers before looking at the original version of himself.The original Kael was still impaled by the golden spear. Cracks

Every seal in existence began to break.Across the heavens, golden chains snapped one after another. Ancient runes that had remained dormant for millions of years lit up, and countless sealed dimensions trembled as something awakened within them.Yet Kael barely noticed.He was staring at his daughter.“Nova?”The little girl tilted her head.“Yes, Daddy?”Her voice sounded normal.Her little hands were still wrapped around his finger, and her cheeks were wet with tears.But the golden symbol on her forehead continued to glow.Kael slowly crouched.“Sweetheart, what did you just call that thing?”Nova blinked.“Uncle.”“Which uncle?”She pointed toward the sky.“The one who lives inside the pretty bell.”Kael’s heart skipped.The golden bell in his hand trembled.From somewhere inside it, a child’s laughter echoed.You finally brought her to me, brother.Kael’s expression changed.That voice!It was the same voice he had heard inside the black crystal.The same voice that had begged h

Chapter 73: The Mother Who Came Back from the DeadKael forgot how to breathe.The woman standing before him had long black hair, golden eyes, and the same gentle face he had seen in his fragmented memories.His mother.The woman Veyr claimed to have killed.The woman whose death had haunted his memories for three thousand years.She stood behind the silver-haired child, holding the black spear that had pierced his chest.And she was smiling.“Mother?”The word escaped Kael’s lips before he could stop it.The woman tilted her head.“Kael.”Her voice was exactly as he remembered it.Warm.Gentle.Familiar.“Come here, my son.”For one dangerous moment, Kael almost moved.Then he looked at the spear in the child’s chest.Black blood dripped from the wound.The little boy’s golden eyes trembled as he stared at the woman behind him.“Mother… why?”The woman’s smile widened.“Because you’ve been a very naughty boy.”She twisted the spear.The child screamed.“STOP!”Kael’s roar shattered t
