Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2393: Chaotic

Linlin looked at Yun Lintian emotionally. She had never thought she would face such a life- threatening situation, a stark reminder of her past complacency.

Taking a deep breath, she began, “I’m sorry, Big Brother Yun. I almost…”

Yun Lintian interrupted her with a gentle smile. “You don’t have to apologize. It’s all my fault. I sheltered you too much, and it led to this.”

“Big Brother Yun…” Linlin bit her lip, unsure what to say.

Yun Lintian patted her head lovingly. “My greatest wish is for everyone to live a peaceful life.

I would give my life for that. As long as you are safe, nothing else matters.” freewebnoveℓ.com

Linlin flew into his arms and rubbed her head against his chest.

Yun Lintian smiled, patting her back gently while scanning their surroundings.

A moment later, Linlin took out Spirit Beads. “I’m going to replenish my energy.”

“You can’t,” Yun Lintian stopped her. “It’s a trap.”

Linlin looked at him with puzzlement.

Yun Lintian pointed at the charred bodies nearby. “Look. Some parts of their bones have turned into crystals, similar to the Spirit Bead. It’s from prolonged exposure to the energy here.”

Linlin’s eyes widened in shock as she saw the glistening bones. “Would this mean…”

Yun Lintian nodded. “Everyone will turn into a Spirit Bead eventually. The question is, who is behind this? They’re probably waiting to collect everyone once they transform.”

He checked Linlin’s body, finding nothing amiss. “Perhaps we haven’t been here long enough to be affected. It’s uncertain what will happen if we stay longer.”

Yun Lintian decided to find a solution after reuniting with Nantian Fengyu. He believed there must be a way to negate the energy’s effect.

Just then, Nantian Fengyu flew over, landing beside them. She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Linlin safe.

“Fifth Sister,” Yun Lintian acknowledged, relieved. He hadn’t been overly worried, knowing Nantian Fengyu’s exceptional strength was enough to face a True God. Whether she could defeat one was another matter.

“Fortunately, we found each other quickly,” Nantian Fengyu said gently.

“Let’s find a place,” Yun Lintian said, leading them to a secluded spot. He set up a concealment formation, summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven, and returned to Nine Firmament City.

Everyone breathed in the fresh air, quickly recovering their energy.

“What’s wrong, husband?” Long Qingxuan approached, sensing Yun Lintian’s troubled aura, followed by Long Xi.

“Let’s find Yue Yun,” Yun Lintian said, bringing everyone to the training ground where Yue Yun resided.

“Back so soon?” Yue Yun was surprised.

“We encountered something strange,” Yun Lintian explained, recounting their experience and showing them the small Spirit Beads. He kept the large one hidden, fearing it might contaminate the city.

“This energy…” Long Xi was surprised, turning to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun nodded, frowning. “This is chaotic energy, found only beyond the wall.”

Yun Lintian and the others were stunned.

“What does this mean?” Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. “Is the Ancient Battlefield connected to the outside world?”

“Possible. Let me go,” Yue Yun declared, heading straight to the Ancient Battlefield, followed by Long Xi and Long Qingxuan.

Surveying the desolate land, Yue Yun confirmed, “It’s not strong, but it is indeed similar to the environment beyond the wall.”

She paused for a moment and continued. “If I’m right, the Central Region must have a tunnel leading to the world beyond the wall. Fan Shen is likely there.”

Everyone’s expression turned solemn.

Long Xi raised her hand, emitting a gentle white light. “The light element can suppress it, but it can’t eliminate the chaotic energy completely.”

Yue Yun looked at Yun Lintian. “Have you tried combining the Great Laws of Life and Death?”

Yun Lintian nodded subconsciously. “Yes, but the power was too overwhelming. I couldn’t control it.”

“Don’t you think it’s similar to the energy here?” Yue Yun pressed.

Yun Lintian carefully observed the surrounding energy. “It’s not exactly the same, but there are similarities… Are you saying the chaotic energy originates from combining the Great Laws?” he asked, frowning.

“The world is born from the perfect balance of Yin and Yang, life and death. The Creator and the Chasm of Uncreation represent Yin and Yang, creation and destruction. Had they remained in harmony, the world would be balanced, and everyone would live in eternal peace. Unfortunately, even they couldn’t escape desires and emotions.” Yue Yun shook her head slightly.

Yun Lintian gradually understood. “So, if I can balance the two powers, it will become the most potent energy.”

“Exactly. To make it destructive, you can empower the Great Law of Death,” Yue Yun explained, looking at the chaotic energy. “Just like the energy here, it’s filled with death.”

“But how can I perfectly balance it?” Yun Lintian frowned. Unless he practiced for another thousand years, mastering it was impossible.

“You’ve forgotten something,” Yue Yun said calmly. “The Great Law of Time.”

“Time…” Yun Lintian was taken aback, having completely forgotten about it.

“Time is something no one should control. Its power is incomprehensible, too overwhelming. After all, no one can withstand time,” Yue Yun said gently.

“Why did the Creator give the God of Time that power?” Yun Lintian was puzzled.

“It wasn’t her,” Yue Yun’s voice deepened. “The God of Time was created by the Chasm of Uncreation.”

Yun Lintian and the others were stunned.

“How?” Yun Lintian was confused. “How could the other Primordial Gods not know?”

“Who said they didn’t? At least, the God of Fate knew everything,” Yue Yun said with a soft sigh, thinking of Yun Tian. Without the God of Fate and his successor, the world would have ceased to exist long ago.

Yun Lintian opened his mouth but no word came out. He finally understood everything. “You’ve glimpsed the time law. If you master it perfectly, you can use it to control the chaotic power by slowing it down and finding a balance. With practice, you’ll be able to use it at will,” Yue Yun said gently.

“I think I understand,” Yun Lintian nodded. “Perhaps I should find a place to practice.”

“Of course. But are you sure you have time?” Yue Yun asked.

“What do you mean?” Yun Lintian was puzzled.

“Yun Yi informed me that Hongyue is here. She must be looking for something, as she recently visited the hometown of the legendary godsmith, Tie Mutian,” Yue Yun explained gently, a trace of anxiety in her eyes. Though Hongyue wasn’t her mother, she cared for her deeply.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. “Tie Mutian? Wasn’t him a blacksmith from the Azure World?”
