Chapter 348: The Mystery of Origins, A Mission Emerges
The Green-Robed Person also acted quickly, sending out experts to intercept the Mysterious Organization. For a time, all factions were drawn into this battle for control.
"We must stop them." Lin Xuan made a prompt decision, "Before the truth comes to light, we must not let any faction control the Houxuanzhe!"
The three of them immediately took action. They discovered that the special marks on each Houxuanzhe were undergoing subtle changes. Those symbols of the extraterrestrial civilization seemed to be responding to something.
"There is something strange!" The Qingbai Jushe suddenly issued a warning, "There seems to be some kind of connection between these marks!"
Huo Fenghuang also discovered an anomaly: "They form a special energy circuit!"
"Look at the mirror!" Ling Bo suddenly remembered that special mirror in the Yuangu Jidi.
The three of them immediately observed through the mirror. Sure enough, in the mirror, one could clearly see that the marks on the Houxuanzhe were faintly outlining a complete Array!
"So that's it..." Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, "This is the true plan of the extraterrestrial civilization!"
A greater conspiracy is emerging, and the awakening of the fourth Child of Luck may very well be just the beginning of this conspiracy!
"Send word to the major sects." Lin Xuan ordered decisively, "No matter what, we must protect these Houxuanzhe."
Deep within Xuanwu Island, Ling Bo stood alone by the cliff, looking at the surging sea of clouds in the distance. The phantom of Xuanwu flickered behind her, emitting mysterious fluctuations.
"You knew all along, didn't you?" Ling Bo asked softly.
Xuanwu was silent for a moment: "Yes, from the moment you were born, I have been waiting."
With the search for the fourth Child of Luck, the Qi Luck Power within Ling Bo began to produce abnormal fluctuations. Some long-dusty memory fragments gradually surfaced.
"Why did I grow up on Xuanwu Island..." Ling Bo muttered to herself, "So everything was not a coincidence."
Memories surged in like a tide. She saw herself when she was very young, when her parents often took her to visit various places on Xuanwu Island. At that time, she did not understand why she had to remember so many seemingly ordinary places.
"They were descendants of the Ancient Guardians..." Xuanwu's voice carried a certain vicissitude, "shouldering a special mission."
Ling Bo nodded: "No wonder many of the arrangements on the island are so familiar; it turns out they were all prepared for me."
Just then, another clear memory surfaced. It was the night her parents left, with lightning and thunder in the sky.
"Bo'er..." her mother's eyes were filled with tears, "Remember, when the time is right, you will understand everything."
Her father stuffed an exquisite scroll into her hands: "You must keep this safe; it concerns the fate of the entire world."
The young Ling Bo did not understand the meaning of these words at the time and just nodded foolishly. By the time she woke up again, her parents had vanished without a trace.
"That scroll..." Ling Bo's eyes lit up, "It should be placed in..."
She walked quickly to her living quarters and took out the scroll that had been sealed for many years from a hidden compartment.
"The Rune on this..." Ling Bo observed carefully, "is somewhat similar to the writing of the extraterrestrial civilization!"
The Xuanwu phantom suddenly became solid: "That's right, your parents were always researching how to resist the extraterrestrial civilization. What is recorded in this scroll is very likely the key information."
Just as Ling Bo was about to open the scroll, she suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
"It's the Green-Robed Person!" Ling Bo became vigilant.
However, the Green-Robed Person who appeared this time seemed to have no hostility. They stood silently in the distance, as if guarding something.
"So that's it..." Ling Bo suddenly realized, "You have been protecting me in secret just to wait for this moment!"
The leader of the Green-Robed Person stepped forward: "Correct. You are the last awakened Child of Luck; this was carefully arranged by the Guardians."
"Why?"
"Because your power is the most special." The Green-Robed Person explained, "Being able to connect the past and the future is the key to communicating between all parties."
Ling Bo remembered the prophecy she had seen before: "So the prophecy saying I would become the link means this?"
"That's right." Xuanwu suddenly spoke, "The reason your parents chose to leave was also to complete an important mission. They were preparing for today."
At this moment, Lin Xuan and Li Yan also arrived. Seeing the scene before them, both of them showed expressions of surprise.
"Ling Bo, you..." Lin Xuan stopped mid-sentence.
Li Yan, however, was thoughtful: "No wonder you are so familiar with Xuanwu Island; it turns out everything was fated."
Ling Bo took a deep breath and opened the mysterious scroll. Immediately, a peculiar energy fluctuation radiated out.
"This is..." The three great Guardian Spirit Beasts trembled simultaneously.
The scroll not only recorded key information on resisting the extraterrestrial civilization, but more importantly, a complete plan. The Guardians had long anticipated today's situation, so they had made full preparations.
"So the awakening of the fourth Child of Luck..." Ling Bo read carefully, "is also part of the plan!"
The leader of the Green-Robed Person nodded: "The marks on those Houxuanzhe are actually a special Array. As long as the true fourth Child of Luck is found, this Array can be activated to form a force to resist the extraterrestrial civilization."
"But the prerequisite is..." Xuanwu reminded, "there must be a link that can connect all parties."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Bo. She finally understood her mission: as the last awakened Child of Luck, she had to integrate various forces to jointly resist the invasion of the extraterrestrial civilization.
"No wonder my power is so special." Ling Bo clenched her fists, "Everything was for today!"
Lin Xuan and Li Yan came to her side, and the phantoms of the three great Guardian Spirit Beasts shone in the air.
"Since we already know the truth..." Lin Xuan's gaze was firm, "then let us complete the Guardians' plan together!"
Ling Bo nodded heavily. She knew that her special status was not a burden, but a responsibility. Her parents' departure, the protection of the Green-Robed Person, and the arrangements on Xuanwu Island were all for this moment.
"Just wait..." Ling Bo looked into the distance, "I will definitely find the fourth Child of Luck and complete this mission!"
"Understood." Ling Bo carefully studied the scroll left by her parents, a flash of brilliance in her eyes, "I know what to do."
Lin Xuan and Li Yan immediately leaned in: "What did you find?"
"Look here." Ling Bo pointed to a special record on the scroll, "The Houxuanzhe for the fourth Child of Luck did not appear by accident, but was a carefully designed layout!"
The scroll detailed the Guardians' plan. They used special energy nodes to set up guiding Arrays in different places. These Arrays would attract people with special Qi Luck, letting them naturally become Houxuanzhe.
"So that's it!" Li Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder these Houxuanzhe all have marks of the extraterrestrial civilization on them."
