The soft little female makes the beast husbands lose control and fall

Chapter 230. Facing the 'Original Sin'

That wasn't just the Winged Race's genetic sequence; it was also mixed with countless fragmented life imprints from powerful beings from different times and spaces! It was as if the Winged Race's initial strength was not a result of natural evolution, but rather... the plundering and piecing together of excellent genetic fragments from many powerful creatures in the universe, forcibly fusing them together!

The "Heart of Stars" is not a gift, but rather a powerful yet incompletely understood genetic furnace! It gave the Winged Race a powerful starting point, but also sowed the seeds of incompatibility that would inevitably lead to their collapse!

Su Yaoyao abruptly withdrew her hand, her face pale and her eyes filled with shock.

"What's wrong?" Augustine and Lan Yi asked at the same time.

Su Yaoyao looked at Lan Yi with a complicated expression: "Your power... is not a natural gift. Did your ancestors engage in large-scale... gene plundering and forced fusion?"

Lan Yi's silver eyes narrowed sharply, a look of horror and... acquiescence flashing across his face as if his deepest secret had been touched. This was the Winged Clan's top secret, a shameful truth hidden behind the race's glory, known only to the kings of each generation!

“...Yes.” He admitted with difficulty, “In order to survive the brutal interstellar war and become stronger...we were also 'cursed' because of it.”

Su Yaoyao fell silent. The truth was far more cruel than she had imagined. This was not a simple disease, but the backlash of a race's original sin.

However, in this heavy silence, the SSSS-level Holy Female power within Su Yaoyao's body resonated strongly and strangely with the residual energy belonging to the "Heart of Stars" contained in the ancient gene sample!

It wasn't rejection, but rather a sense of closeness... as if I had found a long-lost part of myself!

An extremely audacious idea struck Su Yaoyao's mind like lightning!
Perhaps... she doesn't need to painstakingly repair those broken gene chains time and time again!

Perhaps... she could try to communicate with or even guide the residual power of the "Heart of Stars" hidden deep within the Winged Clan's bloodline, transforming it from a "destroyer" into a "coordinator," allowing those originally mutually exclusive powerful genetic fragments to truly merge and coexist under her power!
This is not repair, but... guiding it to complete its initial, unfinished evolution!

Su Yaoyao suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented light that even startled Lan Yi.

“Wing King,” her voice trembled slightly with excitement, “I may… have found the real cure!”

"But this method requires immense courage, and may even... require the Winged Clan to pay an unimaginable price to confront the 'original sin' of your ancestors."

"are you ready?"

Lan Yi was stunned by the burning, sharp light in Su Yaoyao's eyes and by her words. A radical cure? Facing original sin head-on? An unimaginable price? These words struck his heart like a hammer blow.

His silver pupils contracted sharply, instinctively wanting to avoid the dark foundation buried deep beneath the glory of his race. But the pained faces of his countless people, the faint cries of the fledgling eagle, and the possibility that Su Yaoyao had just demonstrated—a strange resonance with the power of the source—were like countless hands pushing him toward the precipice of choice.

He remained silent for a full minute, the ancient atmosphere of the temple seemingly freezing. Finally, he raised his head, all the struggle in his eyes transforming into a desperate, all-or-nothing resolve, even tinged with a hint of madness.

"...The Winged Race has already been paying an unimaginable price!" His voice was hoarse and agitated. "Every day of decline and suffering is a price to pay! If facing the past can secure the future, then no matter how unbearable the truth, no matter what the sacrifice, the Winged Race... is willing to bear it!" He took a step forward, almost face to face with Su Yaoyao, his gaze fixed intently on her: "Tell me, what should we do?!"

Looking into his almost burning eyes, Su Yaoyao knew there was no turning back. She took a deep breath and said, "I need to access the oldest gene sample again, but this time, not to sense it, but... to guide my power, to try to resonate deeply with the residual energy of the 'Starry Heart,' and even... to soothe and guide it."

She looked at the enormous crystal pillar that sealed the original source of the genes: "But this is extremely dangerous. My power might disturb the dormant power of the furnace, triggering unpredictable chain reactions. It might even... accelerate the collapse of some unstable individuals."

This is a gamble. It's betting on a radical, long-term solution by taking on potential short-term risks.

“I will be by your side.” Augustine stepped forward immediately without hesitation. The other beastmen nodded firmly, and pure power began to flow.

Lan Yi's gaze swept over them, then fell upon the crystal pillar. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "All personnel, evacuate the Ancient Temple immediately! Activate the highest level of isolation barrier! No one is to approach without my order!"

The order was swiftly carried out, and the heavy gates slammed shut, completely isolating the temple from the outside world.

Only Su Yaoyao, her beast husbands, and Lan Yi remained in the temple.

Su Yaoyao placed her hand on the cold crystal pillar again. The beastmen placed their hands on her shoulders, continuously supplying her with their strength and spiritual support.

This time, Su Yaoyao did not let the power spread gently. Instead, she concentrated all her spirit, like the thinnest yet most resilient thread, and followed the veins of the ancient genes, probing towards the source energy hidden deep within, a violent and chaotic energy—the imprint left by the "Heart of Stars".

"Om-"

The entire crystal pillar shuddered violently! The genetic model sealed inside seemed to come alive, beginning to twist and struggle intensely! A primal, domineering energy, filled with predatory intent, was alarmed. It followed Su Yaoyao's power feedback and attempted to devour her!
"Ugh!" Su Yaoyao let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning pale.

"Yo yo!" Augustine roared, unleashing his full power.

Lucia chanted an ancient elven guardian hymn, a soft green light attempting to envelop the backlash of violent energy.

Garuda watched all this with tension, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood.

Su Yaoyao gritted her teeth and did not back down. She guided the all-encompassing creative power unique to the SSSS-level Holy Female, not to fight against it, but like the gentlest water, slowly enveloping and permeating the violent source energy.

This was an extremely delicate and mentally taxing process. Her power intertwined, collided, and strangely began to attempt to merge with that ancient, predatory power.

Gradually, the raging energy seemed to sense something, and its struggles slowly weakened, like a ferocious beast that had been soothed. It began to show a curiosity, or even... attachment, to the warm, pure, and seemingly higher-ranking Holy Female power.
