Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian's body was flooded with a wave of exhaustion. He didn't have time to adjust or familiarize himself with his strength and was forced to fight arguably the strongest person in the Divine Realm.

It was already miraculous that he could withstand Ren Yuan's power up to this point.

Jin Long and Xian An leaped off the profound ark and extended their spiritual senses over the area.

"They run fast enough." Xian An said with a frown.

She arrived at the scene only a second later, but Qin Juehai and Ren Yuan had perfectly escaped her perception. This level of speed was simply unbelievable.

"Are you alright?" Jin Long looked at Yun Lintian and asked.

"I'm fine." Yun Lintian said.

He took a step forward and stood beside Hongyue.

"Let me help you." Yun Lintian grabbed Hongyue's hand and infused his wood energy into her body, as well as Linlin and Qingqing in her arms.

"How long did I sleep?" Yun Lintian asked.

"It's not long," Hongyue replied while carefully observing Yun Lintian. "What happened?"

"It's a long story. We will talk about it later." Yun Lintian spoke and briefly looked around. "Where is Master Bai?"

Hongyue lowered her head slightly and stayed silent.

A sense of unease arose in Yun Lintian's heart. He turned to look at Jin Long and Xian An, waiting for a response.

"He's dead." Xian An said calmly. "He used his own life to take down five Devil God Emperors."

Yun Lintian's body trembled. His face turned pale as he spoke. "How...?"

Jin Long waved his hand and brought Master Bai's lifeless body over. "He made a pact with death, and his soul was taken to the Netherworld. There is a possibility that he is still alive."

Yun Lintian's pupils shrank as he muttered. "Netherworld... God of Death."

"God of Death?" Hongyue was puzzled.

"I have learned about the thirteen Primordial Gods and their successors." Yun Lintian took a deep breath and began to explain.

"The God of Death is known as the Endless Abyssal Devil God by later generations. He is the ruler of the Netherworld. It is very likely that he is still alive."

Hongyue and the others were astonished.

"Yao Huang is the inheritor of the Heaven Devouring Devil God, the God of Darkness. Meanwhile, Ren Yuan is the inheritor of the Heavenly Desolate God, the God of Heaven." Yun Lintian said further.

"There should be more inheritors of the other Primordial Gods that we have not yet discovered in the Primal Chaos, or perhaps there are more in our Divine Realm."

Hongyue, Jin Long, and Xian An exchanged surprised glances. It was unbelievable to think there were inheritors of the Primordial Gods out there.

Yun Lintian withdrew his hand and walked over to Jin Long. He carefully lifted Master Bai's small body and gently froze him with his power.

After learning that there was a chance Master Bai was still alive, the sadness in Yun Lintian's heart immediately disappeared. At the same time, he was determined to visit the Netherworld later.

"The situation here is not good. Yao Huang has released his army to the world. The Divine Realm will soon descend into chaos." Xian An spoke. "My people are currently trying to slow them down."

Yun Lintian raised his eyebrow slightly. His current condition was not suitable for engaging in another battle. Not to mention, many people were watching him in the dark.

"Let's go back first." Yun Lintian spoke.

His words surprised everyone. Hongyue and the others thought that Yun Lintian would immediately join the fight.

"That would be the best." Hongyue felt relieved. She was afraid that Yun Lintian would act impulsively. It seemed that he had changed, learning how to control his kindness.

This made Hongyue even more curious about what happened to Yun Lintian during his state of enlightenment. And where did he learn about the Primordial Gods?

"You can ask your people to return." Yun Lintian spoke with Xian An and Jin Long.

"They will be fine." Jin Long responded.

"Alright." Yun Lintian nodded gently. "Let's go."

He immediately boarded the profound ark, followed by everyone, and set off toward the Moon God Realm.

Ren Yuan returned to his residence and went straight to his secret room. The room was spacious and filled with a variety of scrolls, books, and ancient artifacts.

He rummaged through the pile of books and picked up a sheepskin-bound book with the words "God's Lineage" on the cover.

Ren Yuan quickly flipped through the book. The book's contents mostly focused on the tribes of gods under the rule of the Primordial Gods. If Yun Lintian were here, he would undoubtedly learn a lot from it.

After flipping through the book for a while, Ren Yuan frowned deeply. "There is nothing here… What kind of existence is he?"

According to ancient records, all living beings in the Primal Chaos lived under the rules of the Primordial Gods, and it was impossible for them to escape their powers.

Yun Lintian was such a freak existence that Ren Yuan couldn't comprehend. The Heavenly Desolate Orb could even be used on the other Primordial Gods, but it was utterly ineffective against Yun Lintian.

This was a mystery that Ren Yuan had to solve before taking his next step.

"Yun Tian... What have you done?" Ren Yuan said with a gloomy expression.

***

Yun Lintian's group finally returned to the Moon God Realm a few days later. Along the way, they encountered some ancient beasts and eliminated all of them.

However, there were too many of them in other places. Yun Lintian couldn't possibly take care of all of them by himself.

He believed that it would require the assistance of all the top powerhouses in the Divine Realm to deal with them, which was nearly impossible to request.

"Welcome back." Yue Hua said as Yun Lintian and the others disembarked from the profound ark.

She looked at Hongyue and said. "I have already prepared everything you need for recovery."

Hongyue snorted coldly and ignored Yue Hua.

"We need your help." Yun Lintian looked at Yue Hua and said.

Yue Hua held the highest prestige among the powerhouses in the Divine Realm. It should be possible to ask them for help when she came forward.

"I can try, but you shouldn't get your hopes up." Yue Hua replied calmly. "The Divine Realm has long lost its unity."

"Thank you." Yun Lintian expressed his gratitude.

He summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven and continued speaking. "Come with me, everyone. I have something to talk about."
