Myth Beyond Heaven



Heavenly Desolate God Realm.

Inside a paradise-like garden, a handsome young man with long hair freely flowed down to his waist sat inside a small pavilion, reading a book in his hand. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, making one dare not look into them.

He was the current number one powerhouse in the Divine Realm, the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor Ren Yuan.

Standing silently behind him was a peerless beauty in her early twenties. She might look young, but her profound strength had already reached an astonishing level of the Divine Emperor Realm. She could even go against a God Emperor if she went all out.

However, such a person was actually Ren Yuan's maidservant. 

At this moment, the young woman's brows raised slightly as if she had listened to something.

Ren Yuan continued to read the book while asking. "Found it?"

The young woman, Chun Yue, lowered her head and replied respectfully. "Sword God Qin has been active in the Eastern Divine Region recently. He's looking for someone."

"Eastern Divine Region…" Ren Yuan closed the book while talking to himself. "In the past, this region had the best relationship with Yun Tian. It's understandable that his successor will go there."

He grabbed the bread from the table and broke it into several pieces before throwing them into the pond below. Upon noticing the ripples, several fish in the water hurriedly swam over and competed for the bread.

Ren Yuan looked at the fish and asked. "Do you know what to do?"

Chun Yue glanced at the fish that were fiercely competing for a single piece of bread and said. "I'll make an arrangement right away."

As she finished her sentence, she slowly walked out of the garden.

Ren Yuan stared at the fish for a while and muttered to himself. "I've defeated you once. Do you really think your pitiful successor can go against me?"

Inside a dream-like palace, Murong Mengyi was having a meal with Murong Xue. Since she brought Murong Xue back, she spent her time teaching her granddaughter personally and tilted the resources to her. 

Under Murong Mengyi's guidance, Murong Xue had already reached the first level of the Divine Spirit Realm from the first level of the Monarch Profound Realm when she left the Azure World. It could be seen how good the environment and Murong Mengyi's teaching were.

"It's been a year since you came here. How is it?" Murong Mengyi asked and took a sip of wine.

"I'm not surprised why people here possess a high strength at a young age." Murong Xue replied gently. 

Murong Mengyi smiled and said nothing. 

Murong Xue said further. "There's one thing I don't quite understand. How did that person fall?"

Murong Mengyi's hand froze briefly before putting the wine cup down. She sighed and said. "There were too many things involved in this matter. You will eventually learn about it one day."

"However, I can tell you that his demise wasn't entirely because of the enemy. It was a part of his willingness."

"His willingness?" Murong Xue was puzzled.

Murong Mengyi took a sip of wine and said further. "He was the man who stood above everything. Even if all the God Emperors in the Divine World combined, it was impossible for him to lose."

Her gaze seemed to look into the distant past as she spoke this.

Murong Xue had a thoughtful expression on her face. She didn't understand why the Beyond Heaven King chose to do this. Why would he let himself lose?

Suddenly, a beautiful maidservant walked into the hall and said respectfully. "Master, something happened."

Murong Mengyi returned to her sense and asked. "What is it?"

Normally, the maidservant would only come to her directly like this if it was something that affected the entire Divine Realm.

"Someone broke the news about the Beyond Heaven King's successor appearing in the Eastern Divine Region. Right now, those top forces are swarming into the Eastern Divine Region." The maidservant said.

Murong Mengyi's eyes narrowed slightly. Obviously, someone deliberately sent the news out. Even if everyone knew it was likely to be bait, the word "Beyond Heaven King" was something they couldn't resist. They would eventually take the bait.

"Junior brother has finally come?" Murong Xue was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Yun Lintian to come here this fast. 

Murong Mengyi tapped her slender finger on the table for a while and asked. "Have you found his location?"

"There's no confirmation, but he's likely to stay in the Heavenhold Realm. It's sealed currently." The maidservant replied.

"Heavenhold Realm…" A strange light flashed through Murong Mengyi's eyes upon hearing this name. "No wonder… It seems that person continued to arrange a plan for him."

"That person?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

Murong Mengyi looked at her granddaughter and said. "His true guardian. The one who paved the path for him."

Murong Xue was stunned. From Murong Mengyi's appearance, it seemed this person was an existence above her… Who could it be?

Murong Mengyi turned to the maidservant and said. "Contact the Rain God Emperor. Tell her that we're on her side."

"Understood." The maidservant was surprised but didn't ask anything. She turned around and left.

"Grandma, who's behind this?" Murong Xue asked in doubt.

Murong Mengyi said with a cold expression. "There are many scheming-minded people in the Divine Realm, but there's one person who can resort such a lowly mean like this… The Heavenly Desolate God Emperor."

Murong Xue was stunned. Although she had never met the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor, as the current number one expert in the Divine Realm, she didn't expect him to use such a method.

"Don't be surprised. You will see more of him later." Murong Mengyi curled her lips. "You should understand what a person who has been regarded as a number two for all his life could do."

For some reason, Murong Xue felt a chill running down her spine when she thought about this. 

No one in the world loved to be in second place for the rest of their life. The Heavenly Desolate God Emperor was the same. The anger and humiliation he accumulated throughout the years could easily distort his mind and turn him into a ferocious beast.

If Murong Xue was in his place, she would certainly do everything in order to become the number one… No matter how insidious the method was, it was fine as long as it could help her knock the number one away…
