Chapter 72: Regaining Vitality

"Holy crap! This is too awesome!"

"How much money must these special effects cost!"

"Medicine God! I want to have your babies!"

Various barrages flooded the screen crazily, and the live stream room almost crashed.

And at this time, Tang Yun had already returned to the Taixu Divine Temple. Lin Xiyue was waiting anxiously, and seeing Tang Yun return safely, her hanging heart finally let go.

"Are you alright?" Lin Xiyue asked with concern.

Tang Yun smiled and said: "I'm fine, just a small problem."

He walked to Lin Xiyue and hugged her gently into his arms.

"Thank you, Xiyue." Tang Yun whispered in her ear, "If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to come back."

Lin Xiyue's cheeks flushed slightly, she nodded lightly, and buried her head in his chest.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Tang Yun's mind: "Congratulations, Tang Yun, you have passed my test."

Tang Yun was startled and hurriedly asked: "Who are you?"

"I am the Observer." That voice replied, "And also the guardian of this universe."

"Guardian?" Tang Yun asked in doubt, "Aren't you trying to destroy the universe?"

"Destroy? No, I am just collecting all possible futures." The Observer said, "And you, Tang Yun, are the key to all these futures."

Tang Yun wanted to continue questioning, but the Observer suddenly disappeared.

His heart was filled with doubt, but he didn't know how to answer it.

Suddenly, he felt a violent headache, and countless images flooded into his mind again, making him almost unable to withstand it.

He clutched his head in pain and knelt on the ground.

"Tang Yun! What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiyue exclaimed.

Tang Yun couldn't hear anything; he felt his consciousness gradually dissipating, as if he were about to be sucked into a massive vortex.

"I... who am I..." Tang Yun muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming hollow.

Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun in terror, not knowing what had happened.

Just at this moment, the door of the Taixu Divine Temple suddenly opened, and a figure wearing black robes walked in slowly.

"You finally came." The figure said, his voice low and hoarse.

Lin Xiyue looked at the newcomer vigilantly and asked: "Who are you?"

"I am..." The figure paused and said slowly, "Tang Yun's... father."

Lin Xiyue was stunned. Tang Yun's father? How was this possible? Tang Yun was clearly an orphan who grew up in an orphanage; how could he have a father?

The black-robed man slowly took off his hood, revealing a pale and thin face. His eyes were deep and dark, as if they contained endless secrets.

"Are you... really Tang Yun's father?" Lin Xiyue was still incredulous.

The black-robed man did not answer, but walked to Tang Yun's side and reached out to touch his forehead lightly.

"Poor child," the black-robed man sighed, "You have shouldered too many things that shouldn't belong to you."

Tang Yun's pain seemed to be relieved, and he opened his eyes slowly, looking at the black-robed man before him in confusion.

"Who... are you?" Tang Yun asked weakly.

The black-robed man smiled slightly: "I am your father, Tang Tian."

"Father?" A flash of doubt crossed Tang Yun's eyes, but it was immediately submerged by deeper pain.

"My head... hurts so much..."

A flash of heartache crossed Tang Tian's eyes. He placed his hand on Tang Yun's head, and a warm energy flowed slowly into Tang Yun's body.

Tang Yun's pain gradually lessened, and his consciousness began to recover.

"Father..." Tang Yun muttered to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he had dreamed of a tall and mighty figure, and that figure was always standing in the distance, watching him silently.

Now, he finally understood that that figure was his father.

"Child, you have suffered." Tang Tian said with pity.

"Father, why... are you here?" Tang Yun asked.

Tang Tian sighed: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later. Now, the most important thing is that you need to recover your strength as soon as possible."

Tang Tian said, took out a black pill from his bosom, and handed it to Tang Yun.

"This is the 'Taixu Pill', which can help you recover your strength and stabilize your mind."

Tang Yun took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a pure energy that flowed rapidly through Tang Yun's entire body.

Tang Yun felt his body filled with strength, and his headache disappeared completely.

"Thank you, Father." Tang Yun said gratefully.

Tang Tian smiled slightly: "You and I are father and son, no need to be polite."

He turned to Lin Xiyue and said: "Who is this young lady..."

"My name is Lin Xiyue, I am Tang Yun's friend." Lin Xiyue said hurriedly.

"Friend?" A flash of strange light crossed Tang Tian's eyes, "It seems my son is quite charming."

Lin Xiyue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Tang Tian didn't say anything more, but walked to the center of the Taixu Divine Temple and looked at the massive Gene Tree.

"This tree..." A flash of greed crossed Tang Tian's eyes, "Is this the 'Taixu Gene Tree'?"

"That's right." Tang Yun said, "This tree contains the ultimate mysteries of the universe and is also the thing the Observer wants to obtain."

"Observer..." Tang Tian sneered, "Who does he think he is? Is he worthy of coveting this divine tree?"

Tang Yun was startled: "Father, do you know the Observer?"

A flash of cold light crossed Tang Tian's eyes: "More than just know, he and I are old acquaintances."

"Old acquaintances?" Tang Yun frowned; he felt his father had more to say, but he couldn't grasp it.

Lin Xiyue also pricked up her ears, afraid of missing any word.

Tang Tian did not explain immediately, but turned his back to them and said slowly.

"The Observer, who claims to be the maintainer of cosmic order, is actually nothing more than a greedy thief." He paused, his tone carrying a trace of mockery, "He tries to control everything, but doesn't understand that true power originates from freedom."

Tang Yun's heart shook; his father's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in his mind.

He had always been in awe of the Observer, thinking it was a supreme existence, but had never thought that it could also be a villain.

"Father, you mean..." Tang Yun asked tentatively.

Tang Tian turned around, his eyes flashing with brilliance: "The Observer has been using you, child. You think you are the chess player, but you are actually just a chess piece."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Tian's figure suddenly became illusory, eventually transforming into a mass of chaotic medical Qi, circling at the top of the Gene Tree.

This medical Qi radiated an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it came from the origin of the universe.

At the same time, the energy of the twelve furnaces began to flow backward, surging frantically back into the Gene Tree along the pipes that had previously transported energy. The branches of the Gene Tree emitted dazzling light, and the leaves rustled, as if cheering and jumping for joy. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
