Chapter 2513: Unravel (1)
"So what exactly happened when you ran to the Primordial God Forsaken Land?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
A trace of nostalgia and pain flashed across Xia Nongyue's eyes as she recounted the situation. "At that time, Sister Cai, Sister Yue, Yun Tian, and I were in dire straits. We tried our best to escape Ren Yuan's pursuit by entering the Primordial God Forsaken Land, hoping the environment there could give us time to recuperate and make a comeback."
"Unfortunately, Ren Yuan could somehow track our trail," Xia Nongyue closed her eyes in pain as she continued. "Sister Yue volunteered to stay back and buy us time. We saw her detonate herself with our own eyes. Ren Yuan was cunning enough to use the Heavenly Desolate Orb to limit her power. Her sacrifice was pretty much ineffective."
"Afterwards, Sister Cai tried to hold them back, but failed. In the end, we were forced to jump into the Endless Abyss in that place. The only thing I could remember was that we were almost torn apart by the spatial turbulence inside."
Xia Nongyue opened her eyes and continued, "When I woke up again, I found myself inside a profound ark belonging to the Divine Light Empress, together with Sister Cai."
"So, the Beyond Heaven King was nowhere to be seen?" Yun Lintian asked.
"Yes," Xia Nongyue nodded slowly. "I believed that he returned to the Divine Realm. After all, he was someone who could create miracles."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He was quite sure that Xia Nongyue and Cai Xieren were sent out of the Primal Chaos by someone. It was impossible for the World Tree to do it. The person who did it must have been Yun Tian himself... But why did he send his beloved women to the Realm of Chaos?
Moreover, Yun Lintian believed that it wasn't a coincidence that the Divine Light Empress picked Xia Nongyue and Cai Xieren up. Perhaps Yun Tian had made a deal with her. This was why Yun Lintian wanted to visit the Divine Light Kingdom.
"Have you ever met him?" Xia Nongyue asked.
Yun Lintian nodded and then shook his head. "What I met was a message he left behind. He had never told me anything regarding what happened at that time. Everything I know now has come from various people's accounts."
He paused for a moment and asked, "Did you know that he was a successor of the God of Fate?"
Xia Nongyue was visibly surprised. She thought for a moment and muttered to herself, "So that's how it is..."
Yun Lintian looked at her doubtfully. It was strange that Xia Nongyue didn't know this. It seemed Yun Tian had concealed the truth from almost everyone... Why? To protect them?
However, when he thought of everything he had experienced from the beginning, it wasn't surprising that Yun Tian chose to do this. Perhaps only his parents knew about it.
This sense of déjà vu returned, where he was so close to the truth, yet so far from knowing it. However, Yun Lintian was no longer frustrated as he used to be. At least, the mystery behind the disappearance of Xia Nongyue, Cai Xieren, and Hongyue after entering the Primordial God Forsaken Land was completely revealed.
Xia Nongyue looked at Yun Lintian and asked, "Can you go back to the Primal Chaos?"
After knowing Yun Lintian for a period of time, she was certain that he wasn't someone who did things unprepared. Since he had come to the Realm of Chaos, he must have a way to go back.
"I can, but I don't want to reveal my secret here for the time being," Yun Lintian said.
Dian Lun's power was something he couldn't unravel at the moment. It would be too risky to open the Gate of Beyond Heaven here, even though he couldn't truly open it.
Xia Nongyue was naturally aware of this. She thought for a moment and asked through a voice transmission, "Did you find something?"
Yun Lintian's previous behavior made her realize that he was on guard against everyone. There must be a reason why Yun Lintian had compromised and agreed to Dian Lun's request.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said, "With Dian Lun's strange ability, it was impossible for him not to know what happened between us and Ju Liang. Even that Chaos Knight named Ye Hua knew about it. The fact that Dian Lun approached me with a friendly stance proved that he was aware of my strength without a doubt."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Dian Lun basically sacrificed Ju Liang and Sun Qi to probe the depth of my strength. If I couldn't completely subdue Ju Liang, he would certainly have changed his approach and used force instead."
"The Chaos Knight named Ming Jun was even more straightforward. He just wanted to know my strength and believed that he could force me to reveal my trump cards. Unfortunately, his path of the sword was flawed."
"Are you trying to say that...?" Xia Nongyue seemed to understand something.
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "The so-called request from the Lord of Chaos could be a trap. No, it was indeed a trap. Dian Lun thought that his acting was flawless, but he overestimated himself."
Dian Lun's backstory seemed perfectly reasonable, but as someone who had lost his loved ones, Yun Lintian could clearly see through Dian Lun's facade. Clearly, Dian Lun had no sorrow or remorse toward his deceased relatives. The sorrowful expression he put on didn't come from the bottom of his heart.
"Then why did you...?" Xia Nongyue frowned deeply.
"First of all, I wanted to learn about the seal of the Chasm of Uncreation. When Dian Lun appeared, I knew immediately that the place was heavily guarded by the Chaos Knights. I didn't want to waste my time dealing with them. Hence, I agreed to his request," Yun Lintian
explained.
"Secondly, after probing the seal on the Gate of the Abyss, I discovered that it was actually damaged by someone on purpose. It could be the Lord of Chaos himself."
"What?" Xia Nongyue was stunned. "Why would he do that?"
The Chasm of Uncreation was obviously an existence that no one should release into the
world.
"I want to know as well," Yun Lintian said calmly. "There are two possibilities here. First, I am overthinking it. The seal has indeed worn off by itself. The second is that the Lord of Chaos isn't a good person like everyone thinks... He might even be colluding with the Chasm of Uncreation."
