Myth Beyond Heaven

The expressions of Yun Lintian and the others changed drastically.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yitong furrowed her brow. "I haven't sensed anything so far. Not even a single living being."

"There's something called the Eyes of Heaven within the Heaven Realm," Huang Yiming explained. "It was created by the God of Heaven to monitor everyone in case they discussed the Creator. Your True Wood Spirit aura must have been noticed by now."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

"While he can't directly interfere in the mortal realm, he can certainly send his people over. The Kunlun Realm is in danger," Huang Yiming continued.

Lin Yitong frowned slightly and asked, "What's your suggestion?"

"Erase their memories." Huang Yiming spoke up.

He was referring to Lin Feng's group.

"Li Shan," Huang Yiming said further.

"Understood, my lord," Li Shan replied, taking a step forward and disappearing from the place.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng's group remained immersed in the change of their environment. Though they hadn't seen Kunlun God's remains, staying here wasn't a bad alternative.

Suddenly, Li Shan materialized before them, a silver light flickering around his body.

Before Lin Feng and the others could react, the silver light had enveloped them.

"S-Senior..." Lin Feng started to speak, but he couldn't resist and fell unconscious.

Huo Jinyang and Yu Xinlan were no exception. They thudded to the ground, unconscious.

"Hmm?" Li Shan raised an eyebrow in surprise. He saw Yue Shen manage to repel his power.

At that moment, a silver crescent symbol appeared on Yue Shen's forehead, exuding a terrifying aura. Her eyes resembled two silver moons shining brightly.

Yue Shen's aura felt extremely familiar to him. Li Shan tried to recall something, but it remained elusive.

Inside the tower, Huang Yiming watched the scene unfold with surprise. "The Silver Moon Clan? How could she appear here?"

Yun Lintian echoed his doubt, "The Silver Moon Clan?"

Huang Yiming elaborated, "It was one of the major clans under the Moon God. This young woman has hidden her heritage remarkably well. From the way she carries herself, she must be a direct descendant."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Now he understood the strange feeling he'd gotten from her. Her aura did bear a resemblance to Hongyue's.

Yue Shen, her demeanor shifting dramatically to one of majesty and aloofness, scanned her surroundings. It was as if a different entity had taken control.

"The Nine Firmament City?" she spoke, her voice laced with surprise.

"Who are you?" Huang Yiming remained calm, his voice resonating throughout the city.

"Yue Yin," Yue Shen replied. "This voice… Huang Yiming?"

Huang Yiming's surprise was evident. Yue Yin was the name of the Silver Moon God, leader of the Silver Moon Clan, and one of the seven Moon Guardians of the Moon God.

With a flicker, Huang Yiming's spectral form vanished from the tower and reappeared beside Li Shan. Yun Lintian and the others wasted no time following him.

"What has happened to you?" Yue Shen, now seemingly under Yue Yin's control, inquired with astonishment upon seeing Huang Yiming's condition.

However, her surprise deepened as her gaze fell upon Yun Lintian. "Beast god souls within a single body?" she uttered, her voice tinged with astonishment.

In a flash, her figure materialized before Yun Lintian, a hand reaching out to grab his arm.

Pa!

Without hesitation, Lin Yitong stepped forward, blocking Yue Shen's outstretched hand.

"Step back," Lin Yitong said coldly.

Yue Shen raised an eyebrow in surprise as she looked at Lin Yitong. "The True Wood Spirit? But you are clearly human." She retracted her arm and took a hesitant step back.

Huang Yiming fixed Yue Shen with a deep look. "Why did you place your descendant in my place?"

"It was coincidental," Yue Shen explained. "I allowed her to venture into the Primal Chaos to gain experience. I didn't expect her to settle down here."

"Can you clarify the situation now?" she pressed. "What exactly transpired here? And why were you attempting to erase everyone's memories?"

"Examine her memory and tell me again," Huang Yiming countered.

Yue Shen frowned slightly, delving into her memories. A moment later, her expression shifted. "Someone guided her here... but I have no idea who."

"Show us," Huang Yiming demanded.

Yue Shen flicked her finger, causing the scene to shimmer in the air. It depicted Yue Shen encountering a hooded figure shrouded in darkness. The figure exuded a mysterious aura, obscuring any physical features.

In her usual demeanor, Yue Shen spoke cautiously to the figure, "Who are you?"

The hooded figure remained silent. A moment later, Yue Shen appeared to fall into a trance.

"Go to the Kunlun Realm and stay there," the hooded figure spoke before vanishing.

Yue Shen awoke from the stupor, confusion etched on her face. "Why did I stop here? I was clearly on my way to the Kunlun Realm."

She shook her head and resumed her journey. However, her direction seemed to be opposite the original one.

The scene ended here.

Huang Yiming felt a sense of familiarity with the hooded figure but couldn't pinpoint it. However, based on the encounter, the figure didn't appear to have malicious intent.

"Could it be their intention was for me to meet you here?" Yue Shen offered her thoughts.

"Can you contact the Moon God immediately?" Huang Yiming inquired.

"I can, but I require an explanation," Yue Shen countered, raising an eyebrow.

Huang Yiming pondered for a moment. "There's much to explain," he admitted, his voice laced with weariness. "However, time is critical. The God of Heaven is aware of our presence. To avoid further complications, the memories of those who stumbled upon this place need to be erased. I need the Moon God to come forward."

Lin Yitong furrowed her brow in disapproval. "That's far too risky. We could simply send her out and sever the connection between this place and the Kunlun Realm."

Huang Yiming glanced at Yun Lintian. "This decision ultimately rests with him."

Yun Lintian remained silent, his head bowed. He was at a crossroads. Refusing Huang Yiming's approach would undoubtedly doom the Kunlun Realm. The God of Heaven wouldn't tolerate any trespassers. He couldn't bear the thought of innocent people perishing.

Ideally, they would enlist the Moon God's help. However, trusting her completely was impossible. Unveiling the truth about the Primordial War could lead to unforeseen consequences.

The weight of the decision pressed heavily upon him. What path should he choose?
