Chapter 2467: Background (2)
Lan Hanyu and Long Bing listened intently, their expressions growing more serious with every word. The revelation that Lan Bingxue had no knowledge of her origins or the God of Time was unexpected. It seemed there was a deeper mystery at play, a hidden hand manipulating events from the shadows.
"The Lord of Chaos?" Lan Hanyu echoed, her voice laced with suspicion. "What else did he say? Did he reveal his identity or his purpose?"
Lan Bingxue shook her head, her expression troubled. "No. He only instructed us to establish our kingdoms and maintain order in this chaotic realm. He never revealed his identity, nor did he explain his motives."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of her guests. "In fact," she continued, her voice dropping to a hushed whisper, "none of us have ever met the Lord of Chaos. We have never even seen his true form. We only communicate with him through a mysterious voice that echoes in our minds.""
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed, his suspicions deepening. The Lord of Chaos, a figure shrouded in mystery, pulling strings from the shadows, controlling the six regents without ever revealing himself. It seemed this enigmatic being was at the heart of the chaos that plagued this realm.
"And the Haven of Chaos?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice laced with curiosity. "Have you ever been there?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Lan Bingxue shook her head again. "No. The Haven of Chaos is forbidden to us. We are bound to our kingdoms, our powers restricted, our movements limited. We are... prisoners in our own realms."
A heavy silence fell over the room, the weight of this revelation hanging in the air. The six regents, powerful beings in their own right, were nothing more than pawns in a grand game orchestrated by the enigmatic Lord of Chaos.
Yun Lintian looked at Lan Bingxue and asked, "So what exactly are you doing here? What is your duty?"
"Like I mentioned earlier, we are maintaining the order of our kingdoms, preventing the creatures of chaos from breaking in," Lan Bingxue said gently. "At the same time, we are trying to find a way to treat Primordial Decay."
She looked deeply at Yun Lintian and said, "Back then, the Lord of Chaos told us that a person who could resist Primordial Decay would arrive here. The moment I saw you, I knew immediately you were the one he was talking about. I wanted to have a child with you to break this curse."
Yun Lintian wasn't surprised. "Perhaps I can remove it, but that doesn't mean I can help everyone."
"You will," Lan Bingxue said with a smile. "You are kind. You would never watch everyone die. I could see it when you looked at those mortals the moment you stepped into this realm."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said nothing.
"What else did he tell you?" Lan Hanyu asked calmly.
"He told us that the final piece of the puzzle would be complete once Yun Lintian arrived here. The wheel of fate and the river of time would start to move again," Lan Bingxue said in a deep voice.
Yun Lintian and Lan Hanyu exchanged glances. They had no idea what would happen, but it must be related to the creatures of chaos, the God of Time, and potentially the Chasm of Uncreation.
"Your next destination should be the Golden Qilin Kingdom. I've already contacted Qi Zongwen, the current Golden Qilin Regent. You can go straight to him. He will bring you to see the Ancient Golden Qilin," Lan Bingxue said gently.
"He's still alive?" Lan Hanyu quickly asked.
"Yes," Lan Bingxue nodded slightly. "But his condition is worse than yours. He has lost his mind."
Lan Hanyu's heart sank. She couldn't wait to see her old friend, who had sacrificed his life to protect her.
Lan Bingxue looked at Yun Lintian and said, "You should visit the Abyssal Rift later. It is where the Void Creatures and the Shadow Demons reside. Perhaps you can find a clue to eradicate them completely."
"I'm curious," Long Bing suddenly asked. "Has anyone tried to attack the Primal Chaos?"
"You want to know why no one attacks the Primal Chaos, right?" Lan Bingxue said gently. "It's simple. We can't. First of all, those creatures of chaos will never cooperate with us. We wouldn't either."
"Secondly, even if all six regents joined hands, we are far from strong enough to break the Primal Chaos Wall. Not to mention, we cannot leave our kingdoms. And lastly, with the Primordial Decay on our bodies, we cannot approach the wall recklessly. The enchantments on the wall will kill us instantly."
Yun Lintian and the others were surprised to hear this. Indeed, it was impossible for the people here to break the wall. After all, the creatures of chaos had been trying for ages, and they could only succeed by breaking through from the inside.
"Of course, there is a way," Lan Bingxue continued. "You can use the God Slaying Sword to break it, but from what I know, it has been lost for eons."
"You have never left, but you seem to know a lot about the situation inside the Primal Chaos," Long Bing said, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"This isn't the first time someone from the Primal Chaos has come here," Lan Bingxue said gently. "I learned it from the woman who possessed the God of Light's power. Her name is Yao Xi... Unfortunately, she left, and her fate is unknown."
Yun Lintian's expression changed drastically. "What did you just say? Yao Xi?" he quickly asked.
"Oh? You know her?" Lan Bingxue was slightly surprised. "Yes. Her name is Yao Xi. Before her, there were another two women. Their names seem to be Cai Xieren and Xia Nongyue. Both of them are living under Xi Baihe, the Divine Light Regent. It was because Yao Xi wanted to see them that she left my place. I shouldn't have let her go," she sighed softly. Yun Lintian took a deep breath to calm himself. "Have you ever heard of Yun Tian?"
"Yao Xi asked me the same question," Lan Bingxue said gently. "Unfortunately, I have never heard of that name. Perhaps he has gone somewhere else."
In her opinion, Yun Tian must have been gone for good. Otherwise, she would have seen him
by now.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. From Hongyue's memory, Cai Xieren, Xia Nongyue, and Yun Tian disappeared into the abyss inside the Primordial God Forsaken Land where the World Tree was located. Why did Cai Xieren and Xia Nongyue appear here, but not Yun Tian?
