Chapter 2038 Beyond Mystery (4)

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

The air in the reborn Nine Firmament City crackled with an energy that transcended the vibrant pulse of life. It was a tangible presence, a shimmering mist that swirled around the restored structures, infusing them with an otherworldly luminescence. This wasn't just the scent of fresh blooms and clean water; it was the very breath of the divine, the lingering aftertaste of Huang Yiming's celestial feat.

"This…" Lin Feng and the others were stunned. While the Kunlun Realm's environment wasn't terrible, it paled in comparison to this place. They even harbored the notion that simply residing here could propel them to the True God Realm.

Observing the revitalized scene outside, Yun Lintian was surprised. The reborn environment mirrored the one he experienced previously, a remnant of the Primordial Era.

"This city was built from my origin power. Without me, it wouldn't have been restored," Huang Yiming explained gently.

Yun Lintian instantly understood why the mysterious figure, likely his father, entrusted him to Huang Yiming. This place offered the perfect environment to hone his strength. However, the notion of Huang Yiming being used this way sat uneasily with him.

"Don't burden yourself," Huang Yiming seemed to read his mind. "Without him, I wouldn't have survived that night. On the contrary, I am grateful. At least he allowed me to witness the aftermath."

Yun Lintian bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude. "Thank you, Senior."

Huang Yiming smiled. "However, I believe he underestimated you. You clearly possess the ability to restore the city."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm far too weak to manage such a feat at this point."

"What about the woman?" Lin Yitong interjected, her curiosity piqued. "Who is she?"

Huang Yiming offered a truthful reply. "She is the inheritor of the God of Life, though her name and appearance remain a mystery to me."

A frown creased Lin Yitong's brow as a thought wormed its way into her mind. "Wait. Something doesn't add up. How can an inheritor of the Primordial Gods exist here?"

Stunned silence followed her question as realization dawned on Yun Lintian and the others. They were supposed to be traveling back in time to a period when the Primordial Gods still reigned. So, how could this inheritor of the God of Life be present?

"What's wrong?" Huang Yiming inquired, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Yun Lintian wasted no time in explaining their current predicament.

Surprise flickered across Huang Yiming's face upon hearing the news. "You're saying this place connects to the Kunlun Realm?"

"Yes," Yun Lintian confirmed with a nod. "It seems we traveled back in time… to the Kunlun Realm. And we accessed this place from there… Aren't you, by any chance, the creator of the Kunlun Realm, Senior?"

"Indeed," Huang Yiming acknowledged. "The Kunlun Realm was my creation, the first realm I ever brought into existence. Back then, it resided within the Heaven Realm under the God of Heaven's dominion. Originally, it was a simple mortal realm, but I bestowed upon it several legacies to ensure its prosperity."

He paused for a moment. "It's actually not that difficult to understand. Both of them possess the ability to travel through time. Just like all of you."

"This has always piqued my curiosity," Yun Lintian spoke up. "How do they achieve this time travel? Could it be that my father inherited the power of the God of Time?"

Huang Yiming stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Actually, the ability to travel through time isn't exclusive to the God of Time. There's a legendary treasure called the Hourglass of Eons. As I recall, it was created by the Creator and bestowed upon the God of Time. However, rumor has it that the Hourglass vanished. Whether this is true or not, I cannot say. But the fact that your father can manipulate time lends credence to this possibility."

"However, other possibilities shouldn't be discounted. The power of time itself is a profound mystery. We may never know all the methods that exist. Perhaps your father employs a different approach entirely."

"The Hourglass of Eons…" Yun Lintian murmured the name, a thoughtful frown etching his face.

"Doesn't it seem a bit far-fetched?" Nantian Fengyu suddenly interjected. "How could the God of Time lose such a treasure?"

Everyone exchanged glances. They shared Nantian Fengyu's skepticism, but the answer remained shrouded in the mists of time.

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. The knowledge he possessed seemed utterly inadequate to unravel the mysteries at hand.

"What I'm about to say is purely speculation," Huang Yiming prefaced.

He fixated his gaze upon Yun Lintian. "Based on your narrative, it seems your father harbors a grand design for you. Considering your current strength, I can confidently say you'll become an unparalleled True God."

Yun Lintian offered a silent nod. Lan Qinghe and Lin Yitong concurred; this wasn't a novel revelation.

"Undoubtedly, his ambitions extend beyond the True God Realm. If I may venture a guess, you are the inheritor of a Primordial God," Huang Yiming declared in a deep voice.

"Indeed," Yun Lintian admitted frankly. "I am inheriting the power of the God of Fate."

Genuine astonishment flickered across Huang Yiming's face. A moment later, he nodded slowly. "I see… This clarifies a great deal."

"What is it, Senior?" Yun Lintian pressed eagerly.

"The God of Time and the God of Fate were rarely seen in public among the Primordial Gods. Information about them is scarce," Huang Yiming explained. "However, whispers reached me that they shared a positive rapport. Perhaps the God of Fate borrowed the Hourglass from him."

"A positive rapport?" Yun Lintian echoed in surprise. This was entirely new information.

Huang Yiming peered intently at Yun Lintian. "Surely, you must be aware of your purpose."

Yun Lintian nodded. "The Primal Chaos is on the brink of collapse. I believe the God of Fate's objective is to mend it."

A flicker of surprise danced in Huang Yiming's eyes at this revelation. He fell silent for a moment before asking, "Wouldn't you agree your father didn't need to go to such extreme lengths to achieve this goal?"

"What are you implying, Senior?" Yun Lintian pressed, a frown creasing his brow.

Huang Yiming's expression grew solemn. "To me, your father's intricate plans suggest a desperate attempt to avoid something… something beyond our current comprehension."

Yun Lintian's frown deepened. Based on his knowledge, the God of Fate's primary adversaries were the God of Darkness and the God of Heaven. Beyond them, he couldn't conceive of any entity so formidable that such extreme measures would be necessary…
