Chapter 2136 Fisherman (2)

Chapter 2136 Fisherman (2)

A melancholic air settled around Tian He as he sighed. "The inheritors of the Primordial Gods," he said, his voice heavy. "Each vies for supremacy, each seeking to rewrite the tapestry of creation in their own image. It's a never-ending cycle."

Yun Lintian's mind reeled. Si Junyi, Yao Huang, Ren Yuan - they all shared a singular goal: to claim dominion over the Primal Chaos. The ambitions of the other inheritors remained shrouded in mystery.

As the God of Fate's inheritor, Yun Lintian bore the responsibility of stabilizing the Primal Chaos, a task that necessitated defeating his rivals.

After a contemplative moment, he asked, "What do you mean by 'never-ending cycle'?"

"This isn't the first time," Tian He replied gently. "The clash between the thirteen inheritors has unfolded countless times throughout history."

Yun Lintian's jaw dropped. "Countless times... Senior, are you implying there have been multiple generations of inheritors?"

This revelation struck Yun Lintian like a bolt of lightning. From his ancestor Yun Tian to the Beyond Heaven King and himself, the concept of multiple generations had never crossed his mind.

"Indeed," Tian He confirmed.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath to steady himself before asking, "Can you tell me the outcome of these past conflicts?"

Tian He turned his gaze to the lake, his voice laced with sorrow. "There were no victors. In the end, they all met their demise, mirroring the Primordial War."

"No victors?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. Yun Tian's teachings remained silent on these wars. Could he have deliberately concealed this knowledge?

A sudden suspicion gripped Yun Lintian. He locked eyes with Tian He and demanded, "Senior, are you...?"

"Yes," Tian He offered a smile. "I was once the inheritor of the River God. Jiang He was my former name, but I changed it after losing my power."

Though Yun Lintian had harbored this suspicion, the confirmation sent a jolt through him.

Tian He's gaze softened. "You are a variable. An anomaly in their calculations. The legacy you possess, the power stirring within you... it disrupts their plans."

"They fear you. Compared to Yun Tian, you are a far greater threat. You simply haven't grasped your true potential. They fear the immense potential you hold. But fear can be a powerful motivator. They will attempt to manipulate and control you to further their own agendas."

A knowing smile returned to Tian He's face. "Currently, they see you as a fish. But remember, fishermen are not invincible. There are ways to break free from their nets, to turn the tables on them. Perhaps your ambition to become the sun and the moon is not so far-fetched after all."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Although it was vague, he could understand the overall situation. His enemies were not just the Primordial God Tribe but also the other inheritors and those unknown entities beyond his knowledge.

"However," Tian He continued, his voice low and powerful, "before you can challenge the fishermen, you must learn the secrets of the lake. You must learn to control the currents, to understand the depths of your own power."

"This place," He gazed at the lake and said. "Is your first step... Are you willing to take a risk?"

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "Please show me the way, Senior."

Tian He smiled kindly. "Alright."

BOOM—

Suddenly, the lake ruptured with a deafening roar. A colossal shadow surged upwards, casting the world in an ominous twilight.

Its form was unlike anything he had ever imagined. Imagine a colossal serpent, easily dwarfing the tallest mountain peaks, with scales that shimmered like molten obsidian.

Glowing red eyes, each larger than a house, glared down from its monstrous head, radiating an aura of pure, untamed power. Each massive breath it exhaled whipped the air into a frenzy, sending towering waves crashing against the distant shore.

The very ground trembled beneath its colossal form, threatening to crack under the immense weight.

"Show me what you can do." Tian He said calmly.
