Chapter 2576: Another War (1)
Yue Yun took a deep breath, her expression growing serious as she prepared to recount the events that had transpired after Yun Lintian left the previous timeline.
The room fell silent, everyone's attention focused on her. Even Yun Ling, who stood quietly at the back, seemed to listen intently.
"After you left," Yue Yun began, her voice calm but tinged with a hint of melancholy, "the world was thrown into chaos. The first thing everyone discovered was that the God of Order had been imprisoned by the God of Time. Tantai Lanling, the closest disciple of the God of Order, was trying to take her master's power away from him."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of Tantai Lanling. He had encountered Tantai Xue in this timeline, and the resemblance between the two was uncanny. He couldn't help but interject with a question.
"What's the relationship between Tantai Lanling and Tantai Xue?" he asked, his voice steady but filled with curiosity. "The Tantai Xue I met here seems to share a striking resemblance to Tantai Lanling."
Yun Ling, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and answered in Yue Yun's place. "Tantai Xue is an avatar of Tantai Lanling," she said, her tone calm and matter-of-fact. "When Tantai Lanling realized that the God of Time was too powerful to confront directly, she created an avatar and sent it to this timeline to gather information and prepare for the eventual confrontation. Tantai Xue is essentially a fragment of Tantai Lanling's consciousness, imbued with a portion of her power and memories."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly, his mind racing as he processed the information. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, but there were still many questions left unanswered.
Yue Yun continued her narration, her voice steady. "The Scholar God, as you know, has always been a neutral figure, someone who values balance and order above all else. But even he was caught in a dilemma. The God of Time was the strongest being in existence, and the Scholar God had to consider whether it was better to let him take control of the world. To the Scholar God, the bigger picture was more important than personal grudges or benefits. After all, the true enemy was-and still is-the Chasm of Uncreation."
Yun Lintian's expression grew grim at the mention of the Chasm of Uncreation.
"The Scholar God's dilemma," Yue Yun continued, "was whether to ally with the God of Time to combat the Chasm of Uncreation or to resist him and risk the world falling into chaos. In the end, he chose to remain neutral, focusing his efforts on containing the Chasm of Uncreation and preventing it from breaking free."
Yun Lintian's mind raced as he considered the implications. The God of Time, the Chasm of Uncreation-these were forces far beyond anything he had faced before. And now, with the Lord of Chaos rising in this timeline, the stakes were higher than ever.
"What about the other Primordial Gods?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice low.
Yue Yun's expression darkened slightly. "The other Primordial Gods were lured into the world beyond the wall and were mercilessly killed. Among them, the God of War and the God of Valor managed to return with the sacrifice of the God of Death, the God of Void, and the God of Fortune."
Yun Lintian's expression turned solemn. The fact that the God of War and the God of Valor had managed to return at the cost of the God of Death, the God of Void, and the God of Fortune was both a testament to their strength and a grim reminder of the God of Time's overwhelming power.
Yue Yun paused for a moment, her gaze distant as if she were reliving the events she was about to describe. The room was heavy with tension, everyone hanging on her every word. Yun Lintian, in particular, felt a knot tighten in his chest. He could sense that what she was about to say next would be pivotal.
"Afterwards," Yue Yun began, her voice low and steady, "the wall had fallen."
She took a deep breath, her expression darkening. "The God of Time launched a relentless assault on the wall. His power was immense, and his understanding of time allowed him to exploit even the smallest weaknesses in the barrier. The wall began to crack under his assault, and soon, the creatures of chaos began to pour through."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. No matter what timeline it was, the God of Time seemed to have the same intention to destroy the Primal Chaos.
"The world quickly fell into chaos," Yue Yun continued, her voice tinged with sorrow. "The Scholar God, the God of War, the God of Valor, and your mother, Yun Wushuang, the God of Life, all fought desperately to hold back the tide."
Yun Lintian's heart ached at the mention of his mother.
"Your mother," Yue Yun said, her eyes meeting Yun Lintian's, "was a beacon of hope in those dark times. Her power over life was unparalleled, and she used it to heal and protect as many as she could. But even she could not stop the tide alone."
Yue Yun's voice grew softer, almost a whisper. "And then there was him-Yun Tian. He had disguised himself as you, Yun Lintian, to deceive the God of Time. He fought alongside your mother and the others, using his power to hold back the creatures of chaos. But even with his strength, it was not enough."
Yun Lintian fell silent. The weight of Yun Tian's sacrifice pressed heavily on him, and he felt a deep sense of gratitude and guilt.
"The God of Time," Yue Yun continued, her voice hardening, "was not content with just breaking the Primal Chaos Wall. He sought to break the seal on the Chasm of Uncreation, the source of all chaos and destruction. If he succeeded, the realm would be consumed by nothingness."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. It was a bit different here that the Lord of Chaos had no intention of releasing the Chasm of Uncreation right away.
"The battle was fierce, and the cost was high. The Scholar God, the God of War, and the God of Valor knew that they could not defeat the God of Time outright. So, they made the ultimate sacrifice." Yue Yun said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"They used their own souls to reseal the Chasm of Uncreation," she continued, her voice trembling slightly. "Their power, their very essence, became the new seal, holding back the tide of chaos. But in doing so, they were lost to us forever."
