Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Mother and Daughter’s Painful Truth

Su Qinglan was still staring blankly at the soft white glow surrounding her body when countless thoughts rapidly flashed through her mind.

The warm energy continuously flowed into her body like a gentle stream, soothing even the exhaustion hidden deep inside her soul. The more she felt it, the more shocked she became because this power was truly too different from ordinary abilities.

Her own plant-healing ability carried life force and warmth.

But this energy...

It felt sacred.

Almost as if it had descended from somewhere far above everything else.

Unable to hold back her curiosity anymore, Su Qinglan immediately called out inside her mind.

"Xuyu."

Very quickly, the familiar lazy voice sounded again.

"Yes, Host."

Su Qinglan immediately asked while staring at Wang Mulan’s glowing hands.

"What is this ability?"

"What kind of power is this?"

Xuyu became quiet for a moment, seemingly analyzing the energy carefully. Then suddenly, its tone changed slightly.

"Host... this is actually the power of a very special race."

Su Qinglan’s eyes widened slightly.

Xuyu continued slowly,

"This race is called the Tian Sheng Clan."

"They are one of the oldest bloodlines in the Beast World and are known as the first followers of the Beast God."

"The people of this clan are born with extremely pure spiritual bloodlines. In ancient times, they were the first race to receive the blessing of the Beast God directly."

As Xuyu spoke, Su Qinglan became increasingly stunned.

"The High Priests that exist in this world mostly originated from this clan. Their bloodline has continued for countless generations, although over time they married into many different races and tribes, causing the bloodline to spread and weaken."

"But even after so many generations, some descendants can still awaken the original divine ability hidden inside their blood."

Su Qinglan subconsciously looked at her mother once again.

The white glow around her mother looked even softer under the dim light inside the room.

Xuyu continued explaining,

"Whoever awakens this bloodline possesses a special divine power blessed by the Beast God himself."

"And only these people can truly become High Priests."

"This race has always been respected as the closest messengers of the Beast God."

"They are different from ordinary beastmen."

"They can sense many things ordinary people cannot see."

"They can receive guidance from the Beast God."

"They are also responsible for carrying the will of the Beast God."

Su Qinglan’s heartbeat gradually sped up with every sentence.

No wonder...her mother knew things other people did not.

Meanwhile, Xuyu continued in a meaningful tone.

"The energy your mother is using right now is her awakened divine blessing."

"It is not ordinary healing energy."

"It is soul purification energy."

"It can calm spiritual damage, stabilize life force, remove corruption, and even soothe broken consciousness to some extent."

Hearing that, Su Qinglan’s pupils instantly shrank.

Soul purification...

No wonder this power felt so clean and gentle.

Almost as if every exhaustion and darkness hidden inside her body was slowly being washed away.

Then Xuyu suddenly spoke again.

"So, Host..."

"Your mother is actually someone extremely close to the Beast God."

"She definitely knows many secrets this world hides."

"Far more than ordinary people."

Su Qinglan became completely stunned. Her eyes slowly moved toward her mother’s peaceful face.

At that moment, her mother looked almost holy beneath the soft white glow, like someone untouched by worldly dirt and corruption.

Wang Mulan finally opened her eyes while still holding Su Qinglan tightly in her arms. The moment she did, she met her daughter’s gaze filled with deep adoration and warmth.

That look made Wang Mulan’s heart tremble violently. She turned her face away shyly, not daring to meet those eyes directly.

She truly did not know what she had done to deserve such pure adoration from her daughter. Her heart felt both sweet and painfully wounded at the same time.

After a long moment, Wang Mulan took a slow breath and asked softly, "Daughter... I see your soul has been brought back safely."

Su Qinglan stayed silent. Wang Mulan shook her head slightly, wondering how her daughter could possibly know about such things. But after hesitating for a while, she finally decided to come clean. She gently took Su Qinglan’s hand and held it tightly.

"Daughter, you may not know this, but when you were born, some very bad people were chasing after us. They wanted your special power and planned to sacrifice you for their evil rituals. You must have heard about the Black Temple. They are the worst existence in this world. They do all kinds of cruel and dark things. You were their main target. So... Mother had no choice but to send half of your soul to another world to protect you."

Wang Mulan spoke slowly, her voice full of guilt and pain. She took another deep breath, afraid of seeing blame or hatred in her daughter’s eyes.

However, Su Qinglan remained completely silent for a long time. Then, in a calm but heavy voice, she said, "Mother, I already know everything."

Wang Mulan was stunned. She looked at her daughter in shock.

Su Qinglan continued, her voice trembling slightly with sadness, "I know what happened in the past. I know how you sent me away. I lived in that other world for almost twenty-five years before I finally came back here."

Wang Mulan’s eyes widened in disbelief. A hint of deep sadness appeared in her daughter’s voice, which made her heart clench painfully.

"Tell your mother everything," Wang Mulan said urgently, gripping Su Qinglan’s hand tighter. "Everything that happened to you. I want to hear it all."

Su Qinglan looked at her mother.

For the first time, she felt like she had finally found someone she could share her full burden with. She had never dared to tell her husbands everything. She was afraid they would blame themselves, feel hurt, or worse...not believe her at all. The possibilities had always stopped her.

But now, looking at her mother, who already knew part of the truth, Su Qinglan felt ready.

She took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Mother... that other world was filled with chaos. It was a world where zombies had evolved and become extremely powerful. They were like even more terrifying versions of the ferocious beasts here. I survived alone for many years, fighting every single day. I had no one to rely on. Just endless battles and fear."

Wang Mulan’s heart tightened. She dared not interrupt and only listened with tears already forming in her eyes.

Su Qinglan’s voice grew quieter but heavier. "The part of my soul that stayed here... it suffered even worse. Mu Lihua used black magic on Father, making him think she was his mate. She abused the original me so badly that I became like a beast...useless, greedy, and almost insane. She tormented me every day."

Tears finally rolled down Su Qinglan’s cheeks.

Wang Mulan could no longer hold back. She started crying silently.

But Su Qinglan did not stop. "Mother... this is actually not my first life. This is my second life here."

Wang Mulan froze. Her tears stopped for a moment as she stared at her daughter with wide, shocked eyes.
