Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1770: Chapter 1627 Twin Destiny (Part 1)

Yu Suo returned to her room, the book she had been reading just now shredded to pieces in her hands.

With the maturity of her mind, she gradually realized that her existence in the Heavenly Palace was utterly meaningless.

Whenever someone mistook her for Yu Qie, what followed was always the same—a strange gaze like the one from that group of people just now, and the piercing word "accessory."

She returned to her room, feeling both aggrieved and furious.

She looked at her older sister Yu Qie, who was still quietly reading by the window, and realized she didn’t know when she had learned to keep her thoughts to herself, refraining from confiding in her sister.

Taking advantage of Yu Qie’s inattention, Yu Suo began memorizing some of the key prohibitions and vital array diagrams from the Totem Temple.

Totem Believer Women were ranked, and only upon reaching a certain rank could they study higher-level arrays, seals, and prohibitions. However, in Yu Qie’s room, everything from the most basic arrays to the highest-level Solar Eclipse Array was laid out in abundance.

In the past, Yu Suo had always thought these things were dull and had never bothered with them, preferring to do what she enjoyed.

But as she grew older and gained greater awareness, she realized that the things she wanted to do were often impossible to truly pursue, for she lacked real power and almost everything required Yu Qie’s approval.

"She’s entering her rebellious phase," Bai Jinrou remarked, observing Yu Suo, who was now keeping her feelings hidden and covertly studying skills that only Totem Goddesses were allowed to learn.

Indeed, during adolescence, young girls often harbor many thoughts of their own, especially when living under the radiant shadow of an older sister who seemed like a goddess.

...

"What is she doing?" Bai Jinrou watched as Yu Suo ran out of the Goddess Pavilion through a secret passage.

Yu Suo exited the Heavenly Palace and then utilized a special space channel to leave Sky City, arriving outside that small town.

There, she methodically placed some stolen Energy Crystal Stones into the dark green soil outside the town, forming a peculiar array diagram.

"She’s probably trying to put an end to the human sacrifices in that small town," Chu Mu remarked.

These scenes Chu Mu had seen before in Yu Suo’s memories. She had run beyond the city alone to set up a destructive killing array!

On the day of the human sacrifices, Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou saw Yu Suo standing in the middle of the small town. When the monsters began rushing, flying, or burrowing toward her, she activated the powerful killing array!!

The enormous killing array suddenly unfolded, absorbing the power of the sun and moon, transforming into countless sharp blades that shredded the man-eating monsters into fragments.

The thousands of people in the small town stared blankly at this slaughter array, not understanding what had just occurred.

Every year during this time, someone always died—this tradition had continued for countless millennia, never once being broken.

But today, because of Yu Suo’s activation of the killing array, these people survived. The blood and gore were no longer from humans, but from the hideous monsters.

The survivors of the small town were stunned, as were the guards of the entire Sky City who witnessed this scene.

However, Yu Suo, who had disrupted the rules, was swiftly taken away by the people of the Watcher Temple.

The scenes Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou could see changed rapidly—a tightly locked room, Yu Suo stubbornly confined within. They saw her arguing with her sister Yu Qie, saw her persisting in doing what she believed was right even after being punished, and saw her continuing to use the killing arrays she had learned to destroy monsters.

"Cold-blooded, ruthless—you have no compassion at all!"

"This has nothing to do with compassion. Some rules cannot be broken. What you see is merely the surface."

"Living humans are fed to those monsters while the whole city watches them being devoured and slaughtered! They are our kin! You indifferent people are no different from the beasts themselves!"

"You don’t understand. Some sacrifices are necessary so that the balance of the Heavenly Palace remains intact."

"Rules of the Heavenly Palace, balance of the Heavenly Palace, laws of the Heavenly Palace. Day after day, I hear you repeat these words... While the guilty go unpunished, the corrupt remain in power, and those who misuse their authority are safe and sound, you insist on feeding humans to the monsters instead of killing them outright?"

...

Afterwards came a long segment of memories, all of which showed Chu Mu a locked room where Yu Suo remained obstinate.

Sooner or later, her sister Yu Qie would always come to fetch her. Though Yu Suo felt joy in her heart, she still wore an unyielding expression, pretending she would never compromise.

"This is the last time. No more willfulness," Yu Qie said calmly.

"You’ve said that many times before." Yu Suo ignored her, and as soon as Yu Qie lifted the prohibition, she ran out.

...

"Chu Mu, why does the Heavenly Palace have to feed those monsters with living humans? I think Yu Suo is in the right," Princess Jinrou asked.

"It’s likely that this land harbors a being capable of threatening the Heavenly Palace, and it sustains itself by consuming pure-blooded humans to survive," Chu Mu replied.

This was something Chu Mu had learned from Yu Suo’s memories.

Sure enough, the consequences of Yu Suo’s repeated slaying of Sky Demons and Sky Monsters came to pass. On one blood-red night a month later, Sky City was surrounded on all sides by an unending horde of Sky Demon Monsters and Sky Monsters!

Sky Demon Monsters were flying creatures with flesh wings extending from their arms to their legs, resembling bat-shaped beasts with fierce fangs and sharp claws!

These creatures swarmed densely, blanketing the Sky City and devouring everything outside it like a tide.

The city was devastated, its guards slain, and even the Heavenly Palace suffered severe losses. The entire city was drenched in blood, littered with mangled corpses.

Sky City and the Heavenly Palace suffered catastrophic losses. The number of deaths far surpassed the annual maximum allowed for sacrifice, and even many strong ones perished in this terrifying onslaught of Sky Demon Monsters and Sky Monsters...

...

Within the Heavenly Palace’s barrier, Yu Suo looked despondently at the blood-soaked Sky City.

Next to her stood Yu Qie.

Yu Qie’s gaze remained as calm as ever, devoid of even the slightest emotional ripple.

"Sister, why didn’t you act?" Yu Suo asked.

The Totem Goddess—if she had acted, these monsters would never have breached the city, and such catastrophic casualties would never have occurred.

"Guarding Sky City and the Heavenly Palace is their duty. I have my own duties."

"Your duty is to watch them die?" Yu Suo was furious to the core!

The Totem Goddess wielded power of the Undying Level. Not only could she destroy these monstrous invaders, but she could also slay the Demon Spirit Ancestor that posed a threat to the Heavenly Palace.

Slaying the Demon Spirit Ancestor would eliminate the threat to the Heavenly Palace, wouldn’t it?

Why didn’t she act? Why was she so cold-blooded as to watch everything unfold?

Yu Suo couldn’t understand—she couldn’t comprehend her sister’s indifference, nor could she understand how the highest authority of the Heavenly Palace could disregard the lives of its members and the townsfolk of Sky City!

Her sister was bound entirely by rules, regulations, and laws, her body, eyes, and soul so tightly shackled by these things that no flexibility remained. Yu Suo even began to question whether her sister Yu Qie still retained the concept of humanity.

"Why doesn’t the Totem Goddess act?" Princess Jinrou shared the same question as Yu Suo.

Chu Mu shook his head; he didn’t know why Yu Qie refrained from acting, either.

Yu Suo once said that the Totem Goddess concerned herself only with one thing: time.

But that must have been Yu Suo mocking her sister.

...

"Every action has its consequences. You saved those few thousand idle lives but caused the death of tens of thousands of strong ones. Yu Suo, stop defying the rules of the Heavenly Palace, will you? Unless you wish to see even more people die." Yu Qie said to Yu Suo.

"That’s because you didn’t save them!" Yu Suo was deeply disappointed.

In her heart, her sister had always been the most perfect and knowledgeable person.

But seeing her cold cruelty now, Yu Suo became increasingly disillusioned. She couldn’t comprehend how, in the face of living humans being devoured by monsters and a city plunged into terror, someone with the power to change everything would choose to remain within the safety of the Heavenly Palace’s barrier, quietly watching everything unfold.

Her reluctance to act was due to fear!

Everyone who ascended to the peak of the pyramid was the same—clinging to their lives. To preserve their power, they never did anything that might jeopardize themselves. They’d rather compromise and let the majority sacrifice themselves than face any personal risk.

...

"Chu Mu, is Yu Qie really that cold-blooded?" Princess Jinrou, watching the quarrel between Yu Suo and Yu Qie, found her emotions entirely swept up in the ideological conflict between these twin sisters.

"Many things cannot be judged by appearances alone." Chu Mu believed Yu Qie’s words were correct.

Younger minds lack maturity, yet their rebellious nature makes them think they can understand everything. They take superficial appearances as the truth and persist in their self-centered stubbornness, becoming extreme and radical...

Just like the survival of the thousands in the small town came at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. Chu Mu believed Yu Qie had her reasons for not acting. Even if those reasons were explained to Yu Suo, her radical mindset would refuse to believe and instead find reasons to refute them.

...

"Yu Suo, don’t go near the Dark Cliff. A new demon has been born there."

"All I saw were flowers."

"Just don’t go. You carry the same aura as me. They will mistake you for me and stop at nothing to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Suo became visibly irritated and retorted, "You are you, and I am me. Anyway, you’re a cold-blooded person. Even if I were in danger, you’d calmly watch me die like before, so that I wouldn’t become your burden."

"I’ve never thought of you as a burden. You’re my sister."

"Sister? What’s the difference between a sister and an accessory? You’re abusing your authority. I’ve done so many outrageous things, and logically, I should’ve been devoured by monsters like the people in the small town. But just because I’m your sister, I can still wander around the Heavenly Palace like nothing happened. Do you know how many people wish I were dead?" Yu Suo sneered at herself.

"Yu Suo!" Yu Qie’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.

She was angry!

For the first time, Chu Mu and Bai Jinrou saw Yu Qie angry.

Yu Suo dared not say another word. She never expected her usually gentle and refined sister to rebuke her so harshly!
