Chapter 1826 A Hole In History
Yun Lintian had no sympathy or accepted Ren Yuan's actions. To him, Ren Yuan was a mortal enemy whom he had to eliminate. He simply understood the motive behind his actions and nothing more.
"What does it have to do with the current situation?" Hongyue asked. She didn't see any connection between the current situation and everything Lin Yitong had mentioned earlier.
Lin Yitong returned with a question. "Do you know what Ren Yuan has been doing over the years?"
Hongyue frowned and shook her head. She had just returned to the Divine Realm. How could she have known? Not to mention, a part of her memories had been erased.
Yun Yi thought for a moment and said. "As far as I know, he has been controlling the tunnel between the Divine Realm and the Great Devil Realm over the years."
Lin Yitong smiled and patiently explained. "Ren Yuan has been using the power of the Heavenly Desolate Orb to strengthen the Divine Realm's boundaries. Now that he has left, the boundaries have naturally become weakened."
"You might already be aware of this point. In addition to the Primordial God Tribe, there are other people who seek to take over the Divine Realm. For example, the Primordial Devil Clan and the Everlasting Soul Clan."
"Wait a second. The Everlasting Soul Clan?" Yun Lintian quickly interrupted.
Lin Yitong responded. "The Everlasting Soul God Emperor in the Divine Realm is one of them. They have been infiltrating the Divine Realm for a long time."
"Did Yun Tian know about this?" Hongyue frowned deeply.
"He knew, but it was impossible to completely eliminate them." Lin Yitong replied. "Instead of forcing them to find new hosts, he simply let them be so that he would always know their movements."
Hongyue and Yun Yi glanced at each other silently.
"However, these potential invaders are nothing compared to what you are facing at the moment." Lin Yitong said further.
"The black hands you have seen before originated from the Netherworld."
The expressions of Yun Lintian and the others turned solemn upon hearing this.
"The Netherworld is an independent realm connected to every realm in the Primal Chaos. It is a land of death, governed by the God of Death." Lin Yitong explained.
"After the Primordial War, the God of Death used the last trace of his strength to divide his body into several parts and sent them to different corners of the Primal Chaos. Once all the parts are gathered, he will return."
Yun Lintian quickly asked. "Do you know what happened during the Primordial War, senior?"
Lin Yitong shook her head. "Unfortunately, I don't know much. Everything I know today came from the ancient records I gathered from every corner of the Primal Chaos over millions of years."
"I'm afraid no one in the entire Primal Chaos, except for the Primordial Gods themselves, knows about this."
She paused for a moment and then continued. "As far as I am aware, the Primordial War was started by the God of Death, Si Wang. After the mysterious disappearance of the Creator, the God of Death became the most powerful being in the Primal Chaos, alongside the God of Time."
"However, the God of Time was a quiet person and seldom intervened in worldly affairs. The God of Death was naturally acknowledged as the number one."
"Perhaps he caused dissatisfaction among the other Primordial Gods, leading to a division into two sides. As for how it went, I have no idea. All the records related to the event seem to have mysteriously disappeared from the Primal Chaos."
Yun Lintian and the others exchanged glances and inwardly sighed. Lin Yitong was probably the oldest person they had ever met, but she was unaware of it. Perhaps they would never know about it in their lifetimes.
Yun Lintian fell into deep thought. Based on the information provided by Lin Yitong, Lan Qinghe, and the records he found in the Tower of Fate, it was undeniable that the God of Death was the strongest one. But what caused him to start the war? Was it because he wanted more power?
The God of Time was also strange, in Yun Lintian's opinion. He certainly had the ability to stop the war by choosing a side, but he waited until everything crumbled before taking action. Why was that?
Furthermore, if there was anyone who could keep a record, it must be the God of Time. Why wouldn't there be any records left behind at this point?
The more Yun Lintian thought, the more curious he became. Unfortunately, he had no way of discovering the truth.
Lin Yitong allowed everyone some time to process the information before speaking. "The departure of Ren Yuan created a breach in the Divine Realm's boundaries, enabling the Netherworld to reconnect with it again."
"However, the Netherworld should not openly interfere with the Divine Realm like this. There must be something happening in that place."
She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and continued. "Your next target is the Netherworld."
Hongyue frowned in confusion. "Why is that?"
"Because the Tower of Fate is located there." Lin Yitong replied calmly. "Before Yun Tian left, he informed me that the Tower of Fate had been relocated to the Netherworld. Unfortunately, he was unable to retrieve it due to his lack of strength at that time. Hence, this mission falls into the hands of his successor. Perhaps we could learn everything about the Primordial War from it."
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. Who moved the tower away? And why did he do that?
"From what I know, it is impossible to enter the Netherworld with a physical body. Is it true?" Jin Long suddenly asked.
"Yes," Replied Lin Yitong. "You need to enter the Netherworld in your soul form. Otherwise, you will be rejected and destroyed by the laws of that place."
She turned to look at Yun Lintian and said. "You have to go alone this time because you can perfectly disguise your soul as a dead soul."
"No. It's too dangerous." Hongyue quickly interjected.
"Yes. I won't allow you to go, big brother." Linlin echoed.
Meanwhile, Qingqing blinked and continued to lick her lollipop without saying anything.
"Is there other way?" Yun Yi asked.
"This is a good time to enter the Netherworld. We don't know if the tunnel between the two realms will appear again." Lin Yitong spoke. "It also means there is a possibility that you may never return."
"The choice is yours."
