All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

The dungeon of the gods is dark and damp, never seeing the light of day.

Thick water droplets condensed on the cold stone walls, one drop after another, slowly sliding down and hitting the puddles on the ground with a soft "tap, tap" sound. In the deathly silent dungeon, the sound was particularly jarring, amplifying the endless oppression and desolation.

Deep within the dungeon, in a cell sealed by layers of runes, there was no air at all.

The runes glowed with a faint golden light, radiating a chilling suppressive power that firmly locked the atmosphere in the cell. Not even the slightest fluctuation of the source could penetrate this solid barrier. This was the place where Xue Ji imprisoned Luo.

Luo huddled in the corner of the cell, her white dress already covered in dust and stains. Her eyes, which were once as bright as stars, were now shrouded in an impenetrable grayness and numbness. The light around her was as weak as a candle in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished at any moment.

She had long since given up the idea of ​​returning to Earth. Over the course of a century, she had not been forced to accept this world, but had truly integrated into it. However, this integration was wrapped in heart-wrenching pain from beginning to end, and concealed a secret unknown to anyone.

Her wrists and ankles were bound by specially made black iron chains, which were engraved with runes that suppressed her source. With each breath, she could feel the stinging pain from the runes spreading through her meridians to her whole body, depleting her remaining strength.

This pain is nothing compared to even a fraction of what lies deep within her heart—the humiliation of being forcibly deprived of her rights and powerless to resist, the weight of bearing the loss of another person's life, and the fear of being threatened, gnawing at her soul day and night.

Over the years, she has been imprisoned here by Yukihime. She seems to be living a peaceful life, but in reality, Yukihime is constantly draining the source of light from her body. Furthermore, Yukihime has a secret that keeps her firmly under her control—the child she gave birth to, but who is controlled by Yukihime.

Yuki uses her pretense of being the "Goddess of Light" to deceive time travelers and drive the evolution of the world's origin. The bargaining chip she holds is that child, the product of a humiliation.

When she closed her eyes, what flooded her mind was not the warmth of the earth, but the bone-chilling humiliation and despair of that night—shortly after she transmigrated, before she had fully adapted to Yalinina's body, she was forcibly taken away by Lancelot and subjected to yin-yang harmonization.

At that time, she was small and weak, without even the strength to resist. She could only let everything happen, let her body be plundered, and let her dignity be trampled on.

Lancelot didn't realize in that instant that everything changed after that extreme humiliation.

Only Luo knew that the moment they returned to their room after the wedding, the real Yalina vanished completely, leaving behind the one forced to take over everything—Luo.

Yalina's death was her eternal pain, and that humiliation was a scar etched into her very bones. She was forced to live under Yalina's identity, learning to control the power of light and to play the role of a goddess in the eyes of the world, never daring to easily reveal her sorrow or anger.

What made her even more desperate was that she soon discovered she was pregnant—the child Lancelot had forced her to keep, a testament to that humiliation, and her only weakness.

After the child was born, she named her Akali Inujanor, which was her only attachment, the only glimmer of light she could grasp in the endless darkness. But this glimmer of light was soon taken away by Yukihime and used as leverage to threaten her.

Yuki noticed Luo's "change" and also figured out the child's origin. She did not expose him, but hid the child to blackmail Luo into obeying her and allowing her to extract his essence.

Later, the child was reincarnated and became Sabella. Yuki still didn't let them go, secretly monitoring Sabella, and even after sensing special fluctuations within Sabella, she planned to capture her and completely control this most effective bargaining chip.

Luo had been silently watching over his daughter, but because he was imprisoned and threatened by Xue Ji, he didn't even have the courage to get close to her. He could only silently pray for his daughter's safety.

Back then, she sensed Yukihime's covetousness for the child and knew that Yukihime would not let Sabella go. So, she secretly passed on the last bit of her memories that she brought from Earth—a seed from her homeland—to her infant daughter.

It wasn't to express homesickness, but rather to hope that this seed could protect her daughter and become her talisman, even though she herself had long since given up on returning to the hometown she could never go back to.

That seed carries her last remaining tenderness and contains a special protective power. However, Sabella has not yet awakened the seed within her. Even she herself does not know her own background, why her mother has such an extreme attachment to her, or that she is a bargaining chip used by her mother.

Luo didn't even dare to let her daughter know the truth. She was afraid that her daughter couldn't bear the humiliation and that her daughter would be used as a pawn by Xue Ji. She could only bury all her pain and worries in her heart.

Luo gently raised her hand and touched her chest, where her heartbeat continued, bearing the weight of Yalina's death and her humiliation, as well as her deepest longing for Sabella. She could vaguely sense her daughter's presence, yet it was indistinct, and each perception was accompanied by fear—fear that her daughter would be captured by Yuki, fear that her daughter would suffer the same fate as her.

Just then, a faint golden light appeared silently in the cell, without any warning, hovering in mid-air like a ghost.

Golden light gradually condensed, outlining the shape of a long spear. The spear shaft was slender, with ancient patterns, and its surface was filled with a faint aura of holiness and the dead, both eerie and powerful—it was the divine spear that Wei Yu possessed!

The divine spear hovered in mid-air, trembling slightly. The golden light on the spear body flickered, as if it were struggling or responding to something. A faint consciousness slowly awakened within the spear body; it was Wei Yu.

As soon as Wei Yu regained consciousness, he was enveloped by the oppressive atmosphere around him. The cold stone walls, the pungent musty smell, and that familiar, unsettling aura of the source of light instantly tensed his nerves, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

Where is this place?

How did I suddenly end up in this place?

Wei Yu's consciousness raced as he tried to control the divine spear, but he found that he still couldn't fully control it. He could only barely analyze the surrounding environment and let the spear float in mid-air, unable to move on its own.

Just as he was filled with doubt and at a loss, a weak but calm voice slowly came from the corner, breaking the deathly silence of the cell.

"You must be the Sentinel."

Luo slowly raised his head. His originally dull eyes were now fixed on the divine spear floating in mid-air. His gaze was calm, without the slightest surprise, as if he had long expected its appearance. His tone carried a hint of unwavering certainty.

These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Wei Yu's mind!

sentinel!

This title is known only to him; it is his most secret code name as the possessor of the Divine Gun. No one knows this title except himself!

Wei Yu's hair stood on end instantly. A bone-chilling cold spread from the depths of his consciousness, engulfing his entire body and making him stiff. Even the tremor of the divine spear became much weaker.

is her!

It's this woman in front of me!

Fear, like a tidal wave, overwhelmed Wei Yu's consciousness. He struggled desperately, trying to control the divine spear to escape, but no matter how hard he tried, the spear remained motionless, suspended in mid-air, as if imprisoned by an invisible force.

He could clearly sense the power of light emanating from the woman before him. Although it was weak, it still carried a chilling pressure. It was the aura of a strong person, the same aura that had easily captured him back then!

Luo looked at the divine spear trembling slightly, as if she could see through Wei Yu's fear. She smiled gently, her tone still calm and gentle, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, and I can't hurt you."

Her voice was soft, yet it carried a strange power, as if it could soothe people's hearts, gradually calming Wei Yu's turbulent consciousness and dissipating some of the fear in his heart.

Luo slowly raised his hand, a faint wisp of light gathering at his fingertips. He gently tapped the divine spear with it. The light was not aggressive at all. When it landed on the divine spear, it was as gentle and soothing as a spring breeze and rain.

The next second, Wei Yu felt a strange power spreading through the divine spear into his consciousness. The feeling of being restrained gradually dissipated, and he was actually able to control the divine spear and move briefly!

"What... what's going on?"

Wei Yu's consciousness was once again plunged into shock. He tentatively manipulated the divine spear and shook it slightly. Sure enough, the divine spear moved a little bit slowly. Although the movement was slow, he could truly control it on his own!

Luo watched his actions, a faint smile appearing on her face. Her tone remained gentle as she slowly said, "Go, go find my daughter."

Your daughter?

Wei Yu was stunned. He didn't understand Luo's meaning at all. He didn't know her daughter at all. Moreover, he just wanted to escape from here. How could he possibly help her find her daughter?

At this moment, Wei Yu did not know that she was Luo, nor did he know that the daughter she mentioned was Sabella.

Just as he was filled with doubt and about to ask, a strange change suddenly occurred to Luo.

The light power surrounding Luo was already as weak as a candle flickering in the wind. Now, it was dissipating rapidly at a visible speed. Her aura withered like a dying flower. Her already pale face became even more bloodless, and even her eyes began to become unfocused.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she would completely dissipate into this world and turn into nothingness in the next second.

As Wei Yu watched this scene, his wariness was instantly replaced by doubt and a trace of inexplicable worry. Although he was afraid of this woman, seeing her like this, he felt a strange pang of pity.

What's wrong with her?

Has its strength been exhausted?

Just as Wei Yu was filled with doubt, an even stronger feeling suddenly surged from the depths of his consciousness.

It was a strange bond, like an invisible straight line extending from the divine spear, pointing straight into the distance, clearly indicating a direction, and at the end of that direction was the daughter Luo spoke of—Sabera!

Wei Yu could clearly sense a location and feel a faint yet familiar aura. He could even sense that the aura was somewhat disordered and unstable.

How could this happen?

Why did he have such a strong feeling? Why was he able to clearly sense her location?

Wei Yu's heart was filled with doubts. Countless questions churned in his mind, but he could not find the answers. He could only let that strange guidance pull his consciousness, making him unable to resist wanting to go in that direction.

As he watched Luo's life gradually fade away, his worry grew stronger and stronger.

But suddenly, they discovered that the rapidly withering aura around Luo was slowly stabilizing.

Although it was still extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment, it did not dissipate any further. Luo's scattered gaze gradually focused, and he looked at the divine spear again, his tone carrying a hint of urgency and a hint of pleading.

"Go, go..."

Her voice, still weak, carried an unwavering conviction as she repeated, over and over, "She's just been taken away. Please, save her..."

I beg you……

These three words, uttered by Luo with endless humility and pleading, instantly and profoundly moved Wei Yu's consciousness.

He could sense the urgency and worry in Luo's words, and he could feel her deep maternal love for her daughter. It was a pure and unadulterated emotion, without any calculation or malice.

At this moment, Wei Yu's fear and vigilance completely dissipated, replaced by doubt and a sense of responsibility.

He didn't know why Luo wanted his help, why she trusted him so much, or why he had such a strong feeling. But looking at Luo's weak and pleading appearance, and at the clear bond that guided him to her location, a thought actually arose in his heart that he wanted to agree to her request.

"Within her body lies the seed I passed on to her. It is the only protection I can leave her, her only hope. Please, help me save her, help me protect her... Don't let her fall into Yuki's hands, don't let her suffer the pain I endured."

For years, Yukihime had used Sabella to threaten her, and she had endured humiliation and allowed Yukihime to extract her life essence. Now, she was about to collapse and could only place all her hopes on this divine spear.

seed?

Wei Yu's consciousness was stirred once again. He vaguely sensed that the seed Luo mentioned might be the reason he could perceive it, or perhaps, this seed held some unknown secret.

At this time, Wei Yu was unaware that this was the seed from which Luo had fused all traces of his hometown.

He remembered his mission as a sentinel, and the power carried by the divine spear he possessed. Perhaps it wasn't just about helping Luo; perhaps it was also his destiny.

Luo looked at the divine spear with eyes full of expectation and pleading. Her breath was still extremely weak, and every word she spoke required a great deal of effort. Fine beads of sweat even seeped from her cheeks. She looked extremely disheveled, yet incredibly determined.

She knew she didn't have much time left, and she could only place all her hopes on this divine spear and on the consciousness within it.

Wei Yu's consciousness was struggling, torn between Luo's pleas and that strange bond.

In the end, he made his decision.

He manipulated the divine spear, slowly swaying it and tilting it slightly towards Luo, as if responding to her plea, as if granting her request.

Seeing this scene, Luo finally showed a relieved smile. The smile was like a glimmer of light in the darkness, brief but brilliant. Then, her eyes became unfocused again, and her aura weakened a little, as if she had fulfilled her last wish and could finally let go of all her worries.

"Thank you……"

These were Luo's last words, her voice so faint it was almost inaudible. Then, she slowly closed her eyes, her body curling up slightly as if she were asleep. The light energy around her maintained an extremely weak fluctuation, barely sustaining her life force, but she could no longer speak or make any movements.

Looking at Luo, Wei Yu felt a complex mix of emotions—gratitude, guilt, and a strange sense of loss. He could sense the despair and humility in Luo's words; it wasn't just simple maternal love, but more like a struggle after being crushed by fate, hiding untold suffering.

He was grateful to Luo for releasing him from his restraints, allowing him to move again.

He didn't know if Luo would survive, or what fate Luo would face after waking up.

Wei Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, concentrated all his consciousness, and controlled the divine gun, slowly flying towards the exit of the prison cell.
