Chapter 1803: Rebuild His Soul Sea V

"Tang Xiao should already know about that, but there’s no point in us talking about him anymore." Chaos paused, looking at Ling Yun. "All we can do now is help him reach my level so he can defeat me, and he will replace me as the core of this universe, or this universe will be trapped in an endless loop forever."

"Endless loop?" Feng Bing’er, Sheng Ming, and Dongfang Qinzhi didn’t understand it.

Chaos nodded to them. "I can’t explain to you in detail the origins of the endless loop, but it’s related to Tang Xiao, and Ling Yun is the only chance to free this universe from the endless loop. If he fails to defeat me, he won’t be able to stop the endless loop, and this universe will repeat the same cycle forever."

"The same cycle?"

"Creation, birth, death, and destruction."

Huang Lingzhu looked at Chaos. "If the endless loop really happens, Ling Yun will still exist in all subsequent eras, right?"

"No." They stared at Chaos in confusion. "I already told you that Ling Yun wasn’t my creation, and he was born because of Tang Xiao’s will. That will had already vanished from this universe the moment he was born, so he was this universe’s first and last chance to break free from the endless loop. If he succeeds in defeating me, this universe will return to normal. If he fails to defeat me, this universe will be trapped in an endless loop forever."

"Why don’t you give in and let him defeat you?"

"If I could do that, I would do it happily, and all the inhabitants of this universe would be safe." Chaos shook his head at Dongfang Qinzhi. "Unfortunately, I can’t do that, and it’s related to those chains, so Ling Yun has to defeat me with his own strength."

Sheng Ming then spoke to Chaos. "My husband’s clone was in that domain looking for Zheng Fu, the owner of the Bloody Conqueror Body. However, he couldn’t find the man there, even though he had searched the entire area of ​​that domain."

"Hmm?" Chaos raised an eyebrow, examined that domain, and searched for Zheng Fu’s whereabouts. "You should inform Ling Yun’s clone that Zheng Fu has gone to another domain, but he will return to his home domain soon, so he can wait for him there."

"Alright." Sheng Ming nodded.

Feng Bing’er carefully asked Chaos. "Can... can you send me back to our residence?"

"I already told you that you don’t need to be afraid of me, Little Phoenix." Chaos shook his head helplessly. "I will send you back to the Yunlong Zhuzhai now."

"Thank you."

Chaos looked at Huang Lingzhu. "Huang Hao has given birth to twin sons."

"Hmm?" Huang Lingzhu was shocked to hear that, and then she turned to Sheng Ming and Dongfang Qinzhi, who confirmed the news with a nod. "That means there are two new Chaos World-Devouring Beasts in this universe now, right?"

"Yes," Chaos looked at Ling Yun again. "Since Huang Hao is willing to accept him, he only needs to break the last two seals and evolve into the Primordial Chaos Dragon. After that, the two of them will help Zhou Yu enter the void core, and the complete void spirit will return to this universe at that time."

"What do you mean by the complete void spirit?" Sheng Ming asked with a frown.

"There were several generations of void spirits before Zhou Yu, and their old memories were stored in the void core." Chaos sighed. "Every time a void spirit dies, she will lose some of her memories, and the next void spirit will not have complete memories. If she wants to become the complete void spirit, she must go to the void core to retrieve them all. Only Ling Yun and Huang Hao can help her enter that place because that place is guarded by several primordial void beasts, and their strength is equal to Long Hun and Huang Lingzhu."

Sheng Ming and Dongfang Qinzhi were shocked to hear that. "Are you serious about that? How can such beasts exist without being noticed?"

"Even all the void spirits before Zhou Yu didn’t know about the existence of those primordial void beasts because they always lived inside the void core, and they never moved from that place." Chaos created a qi screen that displayed the primordial void beasts, causing the three women to gasp in shock. "Ling Yun already knew about their existence ever since he obtained the Eyes of the Void, but he didn’t say anything to anyone other than Ling Xi and Zhou Yu."

Sheng Ming and Dongfang Qinzhi looked at Ling Yun, who was still serious about rebuilding his soul sea, feeling that he was keeping many other secrets from them.

Huang Lingzhu silently looked at Ling Yun, waiting for him to finish rebuilding his soul sea. She couldn’t wait to see if he would succeed in building his soul world.

Chaos looked at the incomplete black dragon stone floating in front of Ling Yun’s chest. ’That Long Hun is indeed cunning; he had planned so many things without Huang Lingzhu knowing.’

"What are your plans regarding Shijian?"

Chaos shook his head at Huang Lingzhu. "I won’t explain anything to you about Shijian, and you will learn everything in the future. However, I can tell you that she will never be able to replace you, and you will be the only Time Lord in this universe forever."

"I—"

"You won’t be able to do it." Huang Lingzhu stared at Chaos. "If you don’t believe me, you can wait until my battle with Ling Yun is over, and you will have your answer then."

"What do you mean?"

"You already know what I mean, but you don’t dare to accept the reality."

Huang Lingzhu lowered her head. In fact, she has known the answer for a long time, but she cannot accept it, and she is determined to find another way to realize her ultimate plan.

Chaos walked beside Huang Lingzhu and patted her shoulder. "Like Long Hun and the others, you are my daughter, Time. I created you for a single purpose, and it relates to the future of this universe, so I hope you reconsider your decision. Even if you don’t want to reconsider your decision, I have many ways to stop you."

"Am I just a tool in your eyes?" Huang Lingzhu’s tone was filled with bitterness.

"You are wrong." Chaos grabbed Huang Lingzhu’s shoulders, turned her to face him, and looked into her eyes. "You, Long Hun, Fate, Will, and all living creatures in this universe are my precious creations. I never consider you all as my tools; instead, I am the tool itself."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I am the tool for Ling Yun to change this universe." Chaos caressed Huang Lingzhu’s face. "I do not know Ling Yun’s plans for the future of this universe after he defeats me, nor do I know his plans for all of you. If he defeats me and takes over my position, he can erase and recreate all of you at will."

"Does... does that mean he can bring Long Hun back to life?" Huang Lingzhu’s voice trembled.

"He can do it, but—"

"But what?"

"Even if Ling Yun recreated Long Hun, he wouldn’t be the same as the one you know."

"Why?"

"Half of Long Hun’s soul has already merged with Ling Yun’s soul, and the other half will also merge with him in the future." Huang Lingzhu clenched both fists so hard they turned red. "Time, I understand your feelings for Long Hun, but it’s too late, and he will never return to you. Therefore, you must learn to let go of him for the sake of this universe."

"No," Huang Lingzhu shook her head firmly. "This universe is meaningless to me without Long Hun in it! I will help Ling Yun defeat you, but I will never change my decision, and I will follow Long Hun after that."

"Silly girl." Chaos patted Huang Lingzhu’s head. "If only you had been willing to accept your feelings from the moment you first realized them, you and Long Hun would never have been separated, and you two would be happy now. Unfortunately, there are no ifs and buts in life, and it’s too late now. The only thing you can do is accept all the facts, and you must continue moving forward to find something more meaningful."

Huang Lingzhu bit her lower lip, her expression turning complex. She had long been aware of her feelings for Long Hun, ever since the primordial beings first learned about the seven deadly sins. Unfortunately, she had never been willing to accept that reality, and she found those feelings deeply disturbing.

Huang Lingzhu only realized how much Long Hun meant to her after she killed him with her own hands, and she deeply regretted everything. If she had been willing to accept her past feelings, she wouldn’t have planned everything, and she never would have killed him. Unfortunately, her regrets were too late; her true love had long since died, and she would never be able to return because half of her soul had already merged with Ling Yun.

Sheng Ming and Dongfang Qinzhi exchanged looks of shock; they had never seen Huang Lingzhu in such a fragile state. In their eyes, she was a cold, heartless woman, full of schemes and various other negative emotions. However, she was no different from any other woman now, and her expression was filled with sadness.

Chaos sighed. "Think carefully about my words, Time. Long Hun is gone, but you are still alive, and you have the chance to choose a better path for your future."

"You mean Ling Yun?"

"It could be Ling Yun, but it could also be someone else; the choice is entirely in your hands."
