Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1814 Another Unknown Entity

"What do you mean, senior?" Wan Mu was puzzled.

"He managed to deceive everyone, including me." Yue Hua explained.

"The first Everlasting God Emperor emerged approximately three hundred thousand years ago and passed down his legacy to his descendants. Ling Yongheng is considered the third generation."

"As we know, the unique characteristic of the Everlasting Soul is its ability to last for a long time, but it is not indestructible. The deaths of the first two generations have proven this point."

"However, this is what we have been misled about. Their deaths are meant to deceive everyone in the world."

"Are you trying to say that whether it's the first, second, or Ling Yongheng, they are all the same person all along?" Yan Yin asked.

"Very likely." Yue Hua responded calmly.

Yan Yin and the others were shocked.

"But how could it be possible? I am sure that their souls are different." Wan Mu frowned. He had met Ling Yongheng's father before and was certain their souls had nothing in common.

"I didn't notice it until a few years ago either." Yue Hua replied. "Whenever I attempted to glimpse into the fate of the Divine Realm, Ling Yongheng's destiny always remained unchanged. He would disappear at the end."

"It was at that moment that I began to notice something unusual. Logically, a person's destiny is always subject to change. Although the final destination could remain the same, everything that happens along the way would definitely be different."

"It became even clearer when Lintian entered the Divine Realm. Ling Yongheng's fate still remains unchanged. I immediately knew that something was wrong."

She paused for a moment to look at everyone and then continued. "The only way for a person to have the exact same fate throughout their life is if that person doesn't exist or he is something created by someone."

Yue Hua was certain that Ling Yongheng and the previous generations of the Everlasting Soul God Emperor were mere avatars of someone. It was the main reason she didn't directly confront him whenever he appeared.

Furthermore, Yue Hua noticed Ling Yongheng's unusual behavior after Yun Lintian entered the Divine Realm. He had never acted against Yun Lintian directly, which contradicted his past behavior when he attacked Yun Tian.

Yun Yi frowned deeply as he spoke. "Speaking of this, he has never taken any action since my master passed away."

Wan Mu and Yan Yin were unable to say much as they were trapped inside the Sea of the Stars for several years. However, they could clearly see the peculiarity of the situation after listening to Yue Hua.

"What kind of existence is he?" Yan Yin said solemnly.

Yun Lintian didn't expect to find another unknown entity lurking in the Divine Realm like this. If someone could create a powerful avatar like Ling Yongheng, their true strength must exceed that of the God Emperor Realm. They could even be a true god.

Yun Lintian suddenly felt the fog in the path ahead thickening once more. The mystery he thought he could glimpse into had become even more mysterious.

"He had numerous opportunities to take action but chose to stand by. Clearly, he has no intention of doing it." Yue Hua continued. "That's why you don't have to worry about him too much. Just focus on the others. Perhaps he will reveal his true purpose later."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly.

"I didn't know before that so many things were going on behind the scenes." Wan Mu shook his head and sighed. His prolonged absence made him realize that he could no longer keep up with the developments in the Divine Realm.

Yan Yin, who frequently traveled between the two realms, felt the same. Everything he had known in the past seemed to be an illusion. The reality in front of him was beyond his comprehension.

"Anyway, we cannot let our guard down." Yun Lintian said calmly. "I'll go back and make preparations first. Thank you for informing me of the important news, seniors."

Wan Mu and Yan Yin nodded slightly in response.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything else and returned to the Land of Beyond Heaven.

Wan Mu looked at Yue Hua and asked. "Senior, what does the Divine Realm look like in the future?"

"Chaotic." Yue Hua replied as she raised her head to look at the sky. "It's a new era. Everything we know and see right now will change completely."

Wan Mu, Yan Yin, and Yun Yi looked at each other with serious expressions.

"Roar!"

Somewhere in the Wood Spirit Realm, countless ferocious beasts filled the sky, roaring and attacking everything in sight.

At the edge of a dense forest, two figures hid behind a tree, watching the tragic scene in horror. They were none other than Gu Chenlei and Bai Xue, whom Yun Lintian had met in the Sea of the Stars.

After hearing about the beast horde, they came out of the Maya Forest to look at the situation.

"What should we do, senior brother?" Bai Xue asked tremblingly. She couldn't bear to see so many people being torn apart by the ferocious beasts.

"We can't do anything." Gu Chenlei clenched his fists while speaking. His eyes filled with unwillingness as he gazed at the tragic scene in the distance.

Suddenly, a gigantic beast in the sky caught sight of Gu Chenlei and Bai Xue. It opened its mouth, and a black beam immediately shot out, rushing toward them.

"Not good!" Gu Chenlei's expression changed dramatically. He grabbed Bai Xue's arm and ran away.

BOOM—

A large portion of the forest was obliterated directly beneath the black beam.

Gu Chenlei and Bai Xue narrowly escaped from the scene and were propelled a great distance by the impact.

"Cough!" Bai Xue coughed heavily as she rose from the ground. Her body shook uncontrollably as she witnessed the devastating scene behind her. If Gu Chenlei had been a split second slower, both of them would have been obliterated by now.

Gu Chenlei stood up, grabbed Bai Xue's arm, and ran away without looking back.

"Roar!" The gigantic beast was enraged and commanded its followers to pursue them.

Gu Chenlei's expression turned grim as he felt the terrifying pressure from behind. He suddenly regretted his decision. He shouldn't bring Bai Xue here with him.

Several beasts rapidly closed in on Gu Chenlei. However, as they were about to catch him, thick tree roots suddenly shot out of the ground and wrapped around them...
