Chapter 2042 Farewell

Chapter 2042 Farewell

Yue Shen studied Yun Lintian intently. He was an enigma, a young man unlike any she had encountered. From Huang Yiming's words, it was clear Yun Lintian held the highest authority here.

"I will report to my master regardless," she declared. Her intention was transparent: to pressure Yun Lintian. She hoped he would choose to protect the innocent lives in the Kunlun Realm, granting her access to the truth that transpired in his place.

Lin Yitong locked eyes with Yue Shen. "It seems your descendant's life holds little value in your eyes. All the better. It is easier to make the decision this way."

Yue Shen smiled faintly. "Everyone knows True Wood Spirits possess the purest souls in the Primal Chaos... Humans will always be human, I suppose."

Lin Yitong's eyes narrowed, a flicker of murderous intent igniting. To minimize the risk to Yun Lintian, she was willing to sacrifice innocent lives here. After all, they would eventually perish in the Primordial War anyway, merely a matter of time.

However, she understood Yun Lintian well. He would undoubtedly choose to save the innocent people in the Kunlun Realm. This was precisely why she desired Yue Shen's removal.

Yun Lintian inhaled deeply and met Lin Yitong's gaze. "I apologize, Senior. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I implicated them."

He was fully aware of the situation. Technically, from his perspective, everyone in the Kunlun Realm was already long dead. There was no reason for him to feel guilt.

Furthermore, the true extent of the God of Heaven's wrath remained uncertain. While annihilation was a possibility, it wasn't guaranteed. Regardless, Yun Lintian wasn't prepared to gamble.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Another layer of complexity lay in the purpose of the hooded figure placing Yue Shen here. Perhaps this individual had foreseen this moment, intending for him to reach out to the Moon God.

"I knew it," Lin Yitong sighed. "It's your call anyway."

Yun Lintian turned to Huang Yitong and inquired, "Senior, what is your opinion on the Moon God?"

Yue Shen pursed her lips, a flicker of disapproval evident in her eyes. Yun Lintian's question was disrespectful towards her master. Nevertheless, she chose to remain silent.

"She's well-regarded by mortals," Huang Yiming replied honestly. "I had a chance to meet her once. My impression was that she was rather cold and distant. Beyond that, I can't offer much insight."

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He looked at Yue Shen and asked, "Senior, what are your conditions? Can you guarantee the Moon God's intervention?"

Yue Shen offered a smile. "Tell me everything about the situation here."

A hint of dissatisfaction flickered across Yun Lintian's heart. However, to ensure the safety of the Kunlun Realm, he seemed to have no other option.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Lintian said, "There will be a war between the Primordial Gods soon, and the outcome is that everyone will perish."

"The resources here will suffice for everyone," Huang Yiming reassured him gently.

Yun Lintian looked at Huang Yiming and began to ask, "Why did she...?"

"Don't ask me," Huang Yiming interrupted, shaking his head. "I'm as clueless as you are. Perhaps she sensed the karmic thread and felt it unwise to proceed."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly, accepting the explanation.

"There's much I haven't revealed," Huang Yiming admitted, "but my time has come to an end. I shall bestow upon you the Nine Firmament City Core. Henceforth, you are the new master of this place."

"My lord..." Li Shan cried out in despair. "Is there truly no other way?"

Huang Yiming smiled sadly. "You should have realized it by now. Your master's purpose in rescuing me was to restore this city and entrust it to Yun Lintian. Recreating the city core required utilizing all my power."

He looked at Li Shan with kindness. "Live well, my friend."

Li Shan's shoulders slumped, tears welling up in his eyes. Parting from his master was a pain he could barely bear.

Turning to Yun Lintian, Huang Yiming said, "Though I don't fully understand your father's intentions, I trust you will achieve your goals."

As his voice faded, a golden orb materialized in the air before him and swiftly flew towards Yun Lintian.

The orb, upon contact with Yun Lintian's hand, was absorbed into his body. A surge of information flooded his mind, detailing the city's operation.

Huang Yiming's spectral form gradually dimmed and vanished completely.

"My lord!" Li Shan cried out, a desperate attempt to reach for his master that ended in empty air.

Yun Lintian bowed his head respectfully. "Thank you for everything, Senior. Farewell."

"That's a shame," Lin Yitong sighed softly. "We missed the opportunity to glean more about the Primordial Gods."

"It doesn't matter," Yun Lintian disagreed, shaking his head. "They're long gone in our timeline. The focus should shift to their successors."

Gazing across the thriving city, he declared, "Let's bring our people over."
