Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1407: I Won’t Let You Die

"Everyone, cease your disputes. Honestly, I had long prepared myself for death. My persistence until this very moment was solely due to some unresolved desires. Han Yan, I implore you, promise me you will help save my mother in the future." Ye Yanran, a smile of relief gracing her features, spoke to Han Yan.

"I swear, I will absolutely assist you in saving your mother. However, you cannot depart from this world yet. Do not forget, you have saved me twice. I detest owing anyone, and this occasion is no different," Han Yan declared, forming hand seals.

Huayue and the others were initially taken aback, but upon realizing the situation, they all struck their foreheads.

They had completely overlooked the Five Great Magical Instruments. With the sword formation imparted by Feng Qingyu, Han Yan's might could indeed ascend to the Sword Saint Realm, satisfying the stringent requirement set by Ye Yanran's great-grandmother.

The group promptly initiated hand gestures; through their synchronized efforts, their teamwork grew increasingly fluid and effective.

Soon, ethereal rays of mysterious light began to emanate from them, and Han Yan's aura experienced a continuous surge.

Middle Stage Great Sword Master, Late Stage Great Sword Master, Great Sword Master Peak. At last, her cultivation transcended the Great Sword Master Peak. Although she had not undergone a true rebirth, her power was virtually indistinguishable from an entry-level Sword Saint. Considering the formidable sword prowess of Star Falling in Eight Desolates, her combat capability was even slightly superior to that of some established entry-level Sword Saints.

Ye Yanran watched this spectacle with profound astonishment. Intending to interject and halt Han Yan, she found herself utterly speechless.

Sword Saint, her power could actually reach the Sword Saint level; this was not mere self-consolation, she truly possessed the means to save her.

With a delicate flick of her finger, Han Yan caused that drop of blood to descend upon the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, absorbing into it rapidly.

Even though her power had been forcefully elevated to the Sword Saint Realm, Han Yan dared not let her guard down, immediately deploying her Divine Sense to explore within.

The drop of blood merged with the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, drawn by an awe-inspiring force towards its core, while the drop of Ye Yanran's blood remained suspended at its surface.

Guided by this potent energy, the two drops of blood gradually drew nearer and, to their surprise, coalesced. The instant of their fusion ignited bursts of golden luminescence.

The entirety of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate blazed with dazzling golden light, and concurrently, both Han Yan and Ye Yanran were enveloped in radiant golden energy.

Han Yan perceived a resonant hum within her mind, as if she had been transported back to a distant epoch, or as if a long-dormant memory was awakening from the depths of her consciousness.

...

A chilling wind swept across the desolate expanse, and falling snowflakes blanketed the world in cold, as if lamenting the demise of the god-like figure before them.

Once more, Han Yan witnessed the scene of the mysterious woman's betrayal, her body likely frozen, her blood staining the earth, astonishingly emitting a soft, golden sheen.

Countless beings, whether imposing, robust, or agile, knelt around her fallen form. Though their visages remained indistinct, Han Yan could discern the profound sorrow emanating from their hearts.

However, this time, Han Yan did not perceive the presence of the Xingtian girl; instead, a young maiden knelt before the mysterious woman. Her cascading hair was as white as snow, her entire being exuding an icy aura, yet her face was exceptionally delicate and beautiful, tear-filled eyes reflecting immense grief.

"Ah..." the girl cried out to the heavens suddenly.

A uniquely shaped dagger, resembling a Long Ya and possessing an extraordinary allure, materialized in her hand, her resolute gaze unwavering.

The dagger plunged into her own chest, and blood erupted forth. No one intervened, and though the surrounding faces were unclear, Han Yan could sense their unwavering resolve mirroring the girl's own.

The girl's blood flowed incessantly, crimsoning the earth, as her body slowly succumbed to the ground, as if every last drop had been expended.

The scarlet blood miraculously mingled with the mysterious woman's own, intensifying the faint golden glow to an almost blinding brilliance.

A profound celestial rhythm surged through the heavens and earth. The girl's form began to fade, dissolving into nothingness, disappearing eternally. Meanwhile, upon the earth, within that pool of golden blood, a potent force seemed to be perpetually condensing.

At an unidentifiable moment, the biting wind ceased abruptly, the menacing clouds parted, and the warmth of the sun bathed the earth, revitalizing it with life.

Han Yan was suddenly struck by a revelation: the mysterious and formidable woman had not perished. She still existed, albeit in a transformed state, eternally pervading the world, perhaps destined to return to that vast, desolate earth after countless cycles of reincarnation.

A streak of lightning illuminated the land, and Han Yan abruptly regained consciousness, her Divine Sense reorienting itself to reality.

The golden aura surrounding her form dimmed significantly, its earlier dazzling intensity now softened. Simultaneously, the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate and Ye Yanran's body began to emit a similar, gentle golden luminescence, creating an illusion of a unified trinity.

To Han Yan's utter astonishment, while the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate had indeed recognized her as its master as anticipated, it had also accepted Ye Yanran.

What could possibly be happening? From Han Yan's understanding, a Divine Artifact was meant to acknowledge only a single master. It was unheard of for it to accept another unless the original master perished. Yet, the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate now bore allegiance to both her and Ye Yanran!

Could this be a consequence of their blood drops merging into one? Han Yan once more deployed her Divine Sense to investigate. Within the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, the golden droplet formed by their fusion had vanished, seemingly absorbed completely into the artifact itself, leaving her uncertain of her hypothesis.

However, this was a minor detail. The crucial point was that Ye Yanran's waning vitality was no longer diminishing but was actively circulating back into her body, accompanied by Han Yan's own potent and enigmatic power.

Due to the sheer immensity of this power, Ye Yanran found herself unable to adapt immediately. She slipped into a slumber, or more precisely, a state of profound emptiness.

Witnessing Han Yan's safety, Huayue and the others released deep sighs of relief. Despite their concerted effort to accelerate Han Yan's cultivation to the Sword Saint Realm, it wasn't yet a true Sword Saint attainment and carried inherent risks. Only now could their anxieties finally subside.

Nonetheless, observing Ye Yanran's unconscious state did stir fresh concerns among them.

"What is wrong with her? Will she be alright?" Tang Bufan inquired, his voice laced with unease.

"She is perfectly fine. The Heavenly Destiny Star Plate has acknowledged her as its master. The vitality previously lost due to backlash is now returning to her body, and the power contained within the Star Plate is also being absorbed and refined by her. Currently, her Divine Sense has entered a state of emptiness. Upon awakening, she is bound to experience a delightful surprise," Han Yan explained, gently placing the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate into Ye Yanran's arms.
