Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian's pupils shrank slightly. He was naturally familiar with this kind of butterfly effect concept.

Shen Tingguang wanted to change the fate of his Shen Clan and perhaps this world. That was why he tried to change the odds by making a woman, Shen Liqiu, inherit the power.

Shen Tingguang said further. "Before I died, I had spent the last trace of my lifespan performing a divination technique. The result allowed me to see the hope of changing the fate of this world and my Shen Clan."

Shen Liqiu's expression changed drastically. She immediately realized what had happened back then. In fact, Shen Tingguang had a few decades left in him, but he suddenly reached the end of his lifespan overnight. It turned out he did this.

"The result?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly.

"It's you." Shen Tingguang took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "You are the odd that has never appeared in this world."

Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly. Although he didn't know how many transmigrators like him out there, the chance of him being the first in this world was not entirely zero. Hence, Shen Tingguang's divination could be fully accurate.

"Although I'm a mere residual soul, I can feel that you have an unimaginable power within your body. This power is something this world has never seen before. Perhaps, even in the Divine Realm." Shen Tingguang's eyes became sharp. "Only you can change this world."

Hearing this, Shen Liqiu subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian. She had witnessed the abnormality of Yun Lintian's power with her own eyes and fully understood what her great-grandfather talked about.

Yun Lintian went silent for a moment before raising his head to look at Shen Tingguang. "To tell Senior the truth, I have no idea whether I can change the world, but one thing that I am certain of is that I will do everything to eliminate all the invaders."

He paused for a moment and said. "Speaking of this, they have done nothing wrong in my opinion. We live in a cruel world where everyone steps on top of each other's heads in order to get to higher places. Those invaders from the Abyssal World are the same. Since they found a place they could exploit, why wouldn't they do it?"

"I am no hero. What I try to achieve is to live comfortably with my people. No more living under constant threats; to do that, I have to stand above everyone, becoming a rule maker by myself."

"And those people from the Poison Valley are like the Azure Palace, the Star Gazing Palace, and the other enemies I have. They are trying to harm my people and me. The only way out for me is to defeat all of them."

He took a deep look at Shen Tingguang and said. "Perhaps you're right, Senior. I have to change this world."

Inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue looked at the scene for a while and let out a soft sigh. "Sometimes I wonder whether what we are doing right now is the right thing. What he wants is a simple thing, but we are trying to push him into something he doesn't want."

On the side, Lauya said softly. "This is his fate. He cannot escape it… What we are doing right now is to make him ready for those things to come. He will understand it in the near future."

A cold glint flashed through Hongyue's eyes as she seemed to recall something. "If I were stronger back then, perhaps things would change."

Lauya went silent while looking at Yun Lintian calmly.

Hearing what Yun Lintian said, Shen Tingguang went silent for a moment and said. "You will."

He then turned to Shen Liqiu. "Are you ready to inherit my legacy?… Of course, you can refuse it. In fact, I have no intention of forcing you to do this. However, your fate is tied to him, making you the best candidate."

"No need to say it, grandpa. I am willing." Shen Liqiu said resolutely. Since the last time Yun Lintian was besieged by the enemies, she had fully realized how powerless she was. There was nothing she could do to help him.

Unlike Yun Qianxue and the others around him, her strength was nothing. She would certainly become a burden for him. That was why she chose to stay inside the Long Clan instead of following him around.

​ Now, the chance of her stepped closer to him had appeared in front of her. She naturally won't reject it.

Shen Tingguang nodded slightly and turned to Yun Lintian. "Something is waiting for you on the top floor. You should go there."

As his voice fell, a stone door suddenly appeared on the wall beside him.

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. He took a deep breath and cupped his fists. "It's my pleasure to meet you here, Senior."

Shen Tingguang smiled and said nothing in return.

Yun Lintian glanced at Shen Liqiu briefly and pushed the door open before stepping into it, disappearing from her sight.

Seeing this, Shen Tingguang turned to his great-granddaughter. "Place your hand onto the crystal ball."

"Yes, grandpa." Shen Liqiu took a deep breath. Her eyes were full of determination as she touched the crystal ball.

Immediately, the entire floor was filled with pale white light, and everything seemed frozen in time…

***

Yun Lintian slowly walked along the spiral stair and finally arrived at an open floor filled with blue stone tiles. The first thing he felt was a gust of incomparably cold wind. It was as though he had just stepped into a freezer.

At the center, an imposing ice throne could be seen. When Yun Lintian's gaze landed on it, a sense of familiarity was immediately born in his heart.

This throne was similar to the throne inside the Misty Cloud Sect's main hall, but it was more ancient and majestic.

Yun Lintian looked around the place and saw nothing besides the ice throne. Without thinking further, he slowly walked toward the throne.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, an incomparably cold breeze blew over, and the entire floor was instantly filled with deep blue ice particles.

At the same time, a faint female silhouette gradually appeared, sitting on the throne.

Because of the dense ice particles, Yun Lintian couldn't see her features clearly. However, he could feel the oppressive aura several times stronger than Shen Tingguang coming from her.

"You're here…." Suddenly, an incomparably cold female voice resounded, making Yun Lintian's soul tremble.
