Chapter 1360: Zhou Yu Coming
After they arrived inside, Taiyang Jinwu created several Qi screens and explained everything to them in detail, based on the information Ling Yun had given her. "At first, my leader and the old dragon thought that those mysterious immortals were created by Chaos specifically to test my master, but my master learned from the law of the universe that Chaos did not create them. Instead, someone created them subconsciously, but the law did not reveal their identity. My master also informed me that Huang Lingzhu has already summoned the other immortals, and they should have arrived in this realm to search for those mysterious immortals."
"What do you mean by the Law of this universe?" Nu Shen asked in confusion.
Zhu Ling immediately explained to her. "You may not know anything about the Law, but I know a little about it. The law is one of the forces that exists in this universe, and it governs all laws. Without the law, this universe would be disorderly, and everything would be chaotic. I can’t say for sure, but I always believe there are other forces in this universe, such as the will, the fate, and others, all of which are created by the chaos."
"How do you know about the Law and other forces?" This time Xian Di asked.
Zhu Ling released a soft sigh and created a Qi screen, showing the birth process of the Spirit Emperor. "Unlike your dwarf or elf races, our spirit race is born from natural forces, such as elements and various others. Before I was born in this universe, my consciousness had already formed, and in the process, I heard many voices speaking around me. However, I couldn’t see the owner of those voices, and I never heard of them again after I was born."
"This little guy is not wrong about those forces." All of them returned their attention to Tiyang Jinwu. "My master has met and spoken to the Law, and it told him that the other forces really do exist. All of them are children of Chaos, just like the old dragon. In fact, one of them caused the chaos in this universe, and it started in the primordial era, which destroyed that era."
"What do you mean by the primordial era?" Jia Yubai asked.
Taiyang Jinwu immediately explained. "Before all realms were formed, two living beings were born in this universe. The first was Huang Lingzhu, better known to us as the Time Lord. The second—"
"The second was Long Hun, the one and only Primordial Chaos Dragon and also the direct son of Chaos."
"Yes." Taiyang Jinwu nodded to Tang Chen. "After the two of them were born, the first realm was born in this universe, followed by the birth of many primordial beings. The old dragon called that era the Primordial Era, and the era was completely calm and peaceful until one of the children of Chaos started chaos. The Will was the rebellious child of the Chaos, and it was dissatisfied with the primordials. It deliberately influenced the Fate to act against the primordials by transmitting seven worldly emotions to them."
"Pride, Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, and Lust." All of them muttered the same thing.
Taiyang Jinwu continued. "The primordials were eventually influenced by the seven worldly emotions, and the Law descended to eliminate them, which also destroyed the Primordial Realm. The only two survivors were Huang Lingzhu and the old dragon, at least that’s what we’ve always thought so far, but the third primordial survived and still exists to this day. Her name was Yuan Shijia, and she was already hibernating in the ruins of the Primordial Realm before the destruction occurred."
"What?" All of them exclaimed in shock hearing that. "Does that mean the Primordial Realm still exists? How does Ling Yun know all this? What are Yuan Shijia’s strengths and abilities?"
"The Primordial Realm still exists outside the barrier of this universe, but only three people can go there now: my master, my leader, and Huang Lingzhu." Taiyang Jinwu paused for a moment. "Back then, my master thought that the old dragon’s soul had completely vanished from this universe, but it turns out that half of his soul still exists within my leader’s body, and they have reunited now. He told my master everything, including about Yuan Shijia, who was the mother of all Seers."
"So, Yuan Shijia’s abilities are the same as Jia Yuyan’s, right?"
"You are mistaken." Taiyang Jinwu shook his head at Hun Lingwang. "Yuan Shijia’s abilities were much higher than Jia Yuyan’s, especially since she was a primordial being. She was able to see through Law’s plan and save herself before destruction occurred. By the way, you don’t need to worry about her, especially since the old dragon said that she wouldn’t wake up from her deep slumber before my master met her."
Feng Huang then spoke. "If all that is true, isn’t the problem we are facing now the responsibility of Chaos itself? The Will and the Fate are the sons of Chaos, and they are the ones who caused the chaos in this universe. If they hadn’t done that, the outcome might have been different. Both of them started it all, but Chaos blames the current living for being the mastermind and wants to destroy us."
"You’re right about that," Long Tianhuo replied with a slight nod, as did the others. "Unfortunately, everything happened long ago, and we could never turn back time to change anything. Right now, we only need to focus on the present and the future; otherwise, this universe will be completely destroyed. By the way, where is my son-in-law now? Why didn’t he come here himself?"
"Hehe." Taiyang Jinwu giggled as she wore a mysterious expression. "My master is in a domain you’ve never imagined before, and he’s in the process of awakening a new bloodline, which will make his primordial chaos dragon bloodline even stronger."
"Hey! Just tell us and stop playing mysterious!"
"My master is in the Titan Race’s domain, and he’s acquired their bloodline." The atmosphere fell into dead silence after Taiyang Jinwu said that, and almost everyone’s eyes widened in shock. "Haha! I expected that all of you would react like this! My master accidentally discovered a gate in the Slaughter Heaven Domain, and Huang Lingzhu told him about the Titan Race. He and the old dragon have been there for several days, but I don’t know when he will come out."
Long Tianhuo took a deep breath. "I’ve heard about the Titan Race from my ancestors, and they said that the race was extinct long ago. How can the race still exist now?"
"Huang Lingzhu." Taiyang Jinwu then told them about Jian Xieshen’s actions against the Titan Race and how the Time Lord saved the race from extinction.
*Swoosh*
A woman suddenly dashed into the room, surprising everyone. Hun Linwang then asked her. "What are you doing here, Zhou Yu?"
"A few days ago, I received information from Zhizun Buxiu about the Devil Race’s movements, so I hurriedly came here to inform you all." Zhou Yu immediately relayed the information to them. "If his guess is correct, some of them are on their way here, and they’re using something to prevent us from tracking them. The problem is not Qi Wuhei or Zhu Tian’er, but the devil’s baby born to Lilithara. He has seen the devi’s baby with his own eyes, and it’s not an ordinary devil."
Long Tianhuo and several beast leaders from the Thousand Beast Realm wasted no time in contacting their respective subordinates, ordering them to prepare their clans’ defenses, including the protective barrier.
Thereafter, Long Tianhuo asked. "Is it possible that the devil’s baby is the result of Xie Zuzhou’s experiments?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded at him. "Actually, Zhizun Buxiu had already captured and sent Qi Wuhei and Zhu Tian’er into the void before, but Huang Hao asked Xu Kong to free them. As for her reason, you guys should all be able to guess it."
"Ling Yun."
Zhou Yu nodded at them. "Qi Wuhei and Zhu Tian’er are ancient devils, and their souls are precious to Ling Yun’s devil soul. Therefore, Huang Hao freed them, and he wanted him to absorb them. However, Xie Zuzhou’s experiments on the devil’s baby were beyond everyone’s expectations, and they were confident that the devil’s baby could defeat all of you."
Long Tianhuo and the others let out a soft sigh. "One problem isn’t over yet, but another one has arisen. Since the ancient devil race is considering attacking us, and we can’t track their position, we must temporarily end our seclusion to prepare for them."
"I think that’s fine, Brother Long." Tang Chen spoke as he lifted Yue Mengyi to her feet. "The Chaos issue is indeed serious, but the problem of the ancient devil race is far more urgent, so we should prioritize dealing with them first."
"That’s right." Long Tianhuo helped Feng Huang to her feet. "Will you two help us?"
"Hehe." Taiyang Jinwu giggled. "You are my master’s family, so you don’t need to ask me, and I will be happy to help you deal with them."
"I’ll help you guys too." Zhou Yu then slashed the void. "However, I will not stay here, and I will try to track down the whereabouts of those devils again."
After Zhou Yu left, Long Tianhuo and the others immediately left their seclusion, but Taiyang Jinwu didn’t join them and waited there. She then informed Ling Yun through one of her clones, "Master, I hope you will leave the Titan Race’s domain before those devils arrive. Otherwise, they will die by my hands, and it will be your loss."
