Myth Beyond Heaven

1853 Black Lake (1)

“Strange woman?” A strange light flashed in Hongyue’s eyes. This woman should be the same person as the mysterious woman who brought her to the Azure World.

“She was enveloped in a white mist that even my golden eyes could not penetrate. I felt that she was a true god. However, I have never seen any true gods capable of entering the Divine Realm since the Primordial War.” Yu Liling appeared genuinely confused when she talked about this.

She had encountered numerous true gods during the Primordial Era. It could be said that she was very familiar with all of them. However, the woman she saw that day left her with a sense of mystery that she could never unravel for the rest of her life.

“What did she do?” Hongyue quickly asked.

“I don’t know. I didn’t dare to approach her.” Yu Liling replied truthfully. “She could conceal herself and go about her business without anyone noticing, yet she deliberately revealed herself. This made me stay away from her.”

The current Yu Liling was an avatar that her true self had put a lot of effort into sending to this place. If possible, she didn’t want to interfere with anyone here. Especially a mysterious person like that woman.

Hongyue felt disappointed. Up until now, the identity of the mysterious woman had remained completely unknown. Hongyue had always believed that the woman was at least comparable to the Beyond Heaven King in terms of strength, but it didn’t seem to be the case now.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly after hearing this. He looked at Yu Liling and asked. “Why are you staying here, Senior?”

“I cannot leave the forsaken land. Once I enter the Divine Realm, this avatar will disappear entirely.” Yu Liling replied. “I can stay here for millions of years because of a trace of the primordial aura in this place.”

“Recently, the aura here has been gradually increasing for unknown reasons. If this continues, it will take approximately ten million years to restore one percent of its original state.”

Yun Lintian was shocked. The current aura in the Primordial God Forsaken Land was already abundant. He couldn’t imagine how strong one percent of its original state was.

It was no wonder that there were many true gods in the Primordial Era.

He suddenly had a thought and asked. “Senior, did the forsaken land exist back then?”

“Yes and no.” Yu Liling replied. “The forsaken land and the Divine Realm outside used to be one entity. However, the battle between the Primordial Gods caused space to collapse, and the forsaken land, which was the center of the Primal Chaos, separated itself to maintain its existence.”

“All the remaining lesser gods and higher beings had been expelled from the Divine Realm and were forbidden from reentering. It was not until fifty thousand years ago that a lesser god was allowed to enter.”

She paused for a moment and continued in a deep voice. “The laws and orders of the Divine Realm began to change for no reason. Perhaps it is slowly recovering on its own.”

“I have also been sensing the aura of the Netherworld recently. Everything indicates that the Divine Realm is moving in a positive direction. Of course, it’s good for us, but not for all of you here.”

Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes slightly. While speaking with Yu Liling, he never let his guard down because he didn’t know which side she was on. Furthermore, her words could not be fully trusted.

“Why are you here?” Yu Liling suddenly asked.

“We came here to seek opportunities.” Yun Lintian replied calmly. “Does the Senior know of a place where peerless treasures are gathered?”

Yu Liling gazed at Yun Lintian for a moment as if she were trying to peer into his thoughts before responding. “I advise you to stay within the perimeter. Not everyone is willing to talk to you like this.”

Her words made it clear that there were many people like her in this place. They were avatars representing the respective forces of the Primordial Era.

“If you continue in this direction, you will soon come across the Black Lake. It is a nice place to stay but too dangerous for you. Ever since the Netherworld aura appeared, numerous individuals have flocked to the lake.” Yu Liling continued.

“Many thanks.” Yun Lintian cupped his fists. “We shall excuse ourselves now.”

Yu Liling’s face twisted into a strange expression. “Hehe. It’s good to be cautious. You can go.”

Yun Lintian didn’t say anything else and departed, making his way toward the Black Lake.

Yu Liling watched as everyone left and muttered to herself. “I hope everything ends in this era…”

After traveling for twenty minutes, Hongyue looked at Yun Lintian and asked. “Now you know to be cautious?”

“If she showed even the slightest hint of malice, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.” Yun Lintian responded calmly. “Do you think her words are reliable?”

Hongyue thought for a moment and said. “They should be true.”

“Why?” Yun Lintian asked.

“Intuition,” Hongyue replied. “Also, I can’t think of any benefits she can get from lying to us. Furthermore, she appears to be acquainted with Yun Tian. I can tell that.”

Yun Lintian nodded gently and remained silent.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Yun Lintian and the others abruptly halted in their tracks. They felt like something had just pierced their souls. It was writhing and squirming like a worm.

Yun Lintian could clearly feel that someone was watching them in the dark. His eyes immediately turned golden as he scanned the surroundings.

Before Yun Lintian could find anything, a dark light suddenly flashed in space, and an enormous black silhouette immediately pounced at him, accompanied by a terrifying roar that shook the vast region.

“Watch out.” Jin Long spoke and threw a punch at the oncoming dark silhouette, unleashing a dazzling golden light. 𝘪𝑎.

BANG!

An earth-shattering sound reverberated through the space. The destructive power of the god emperors exploded instantly.

Yun Yi and Hongyue swiftly created a protective barrier to shield Yun Lintian while pulling him away from the center of the impact.

ROAR—

A ferocious cry of an ancient beast echoed through the air. The originally falling black silhouette was fiercely jolted and sent flying into the distance by Jin Long’s punch.

Yun Lintian safely retreated several meters away with the help of Yun Yi and Hongyue. He raised his head to get a clear view of the black silhouette.

What appeared in his field of vision was an enormous wolf-like creature…
