Chapter 2151 Vicious Cycle (2)

"In the end," Tian He said further, a trace of regret flickering in his eyes. "He became isolated, with no choice but to entrust everything to the next generation, the Beyond Heaven King Yun Tian."

"As for the other inheritors, some went into hiding, while others... well, they weren't so fortunate. I, for one, was lucky enough to cling to my own meager existence."

A chill ran down Yun Lintian's spine as the truth he'd been chasing began to reveal itself. Yet, the question of why the Beyond Heaven King selected him as his heir remained unanswered.

"So, everyone has their own agenda," Yun Lintian muttered, the warmth from the fading sunlight unable to dispel the sudden chill that crept into his heart.

He glanced at Tian He, who remained stoic, his face an unreadable mask. It was clear Tian He wasn't at liberty to reveal everything, a hint of a larger, unspoken narrative lurking beneath the surface.

"Honestly, Senior. Even after learning this, I still have no clue what I should do to stop it. And the hidden existence like the Chasm of Uncreation only complicates things further. No matter how hard I try to improve my strength, it feels impossible to catch up to the demands of the current situation." Yun Lintian said, his voice laced with confusion and helplessness.

Initially, he believed he only needed to contend with a select few inheritors, such as Ren Yuan, Yao Huang, and Si Junyi. Now, however, it felt like the entire world was against him.

A gentle smile tugged at Tian He's lips. "The weight of the world may seem heavy on your shoulders now, but fret no more. You are not meant to carry this burden alone."

He gestured towards Yun Lintian. "Look within yourself. The power you wield, the Great Law of Life and Death, is not just about creation and destruction. It embodies the very essence of balance, the cycle of existence that transcends conflict."

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed in contemplation. Tian He's words resonated with a deep truth within him, a truth he'd somehow overlooked in his pursuit of strength.

"The Great Law of Life and Death... balance?" he murmured, piecing together the fragments of understanding.

"Precisely," Tian He affirmed. "You, Yun Lintian, may be the key to breaking the cycle. Your unique resonance with both Life and Death allows you to see beyond the inherent conflict, to perceive the harmony that lies beneath. This is your true strength, a power that transcends even the..."

"Cough!" Suddenly, Tian He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his face turned ghastly pale.

Boom!

Shi Xuan chuckled, a deep rumble that echoed across the tranquil lake. "Surprised, little sprout? Don't worry, I'm not going to blast you with some ancestral dragon breath."

Yun Lintian remained speechless, his mind struggling to grasp the sudden revelation. The colossal serpent he'd battled countless times was actually... a Dragon God?

"There's more to the story than meets the eye," Tian He said gently, sensing Yun Lintian's confusion.

Shi Xuan took out a set of table and chairs and continued, "Why don't we sit? This next part of the story is a bit lengthy."

Intrigued despite his confusion, Yun Lintian followed Shi Xuan and Tian He and sat down on the chairs. The setting sun cast an orange glow on the three figures, painting the scene with a sense of anticipation.

Shi Xuan fixed Yun Lintian's interspatial ring with a pointed stare.

Sensing his gaze, Yun Lintian hastily produced delicacies and wine. However, he noticed that several jars of wine were missing from the ring.

"The culprit is this old man," Shi Xuan declared, gesturing towards Tian He with a playful jab.

Tian He chuckled heartily, pouring a cup of wine for everyone.

Despite his surprise at Tian He's ability to access his interspatial ring directly, Yun Lintian remained silent.

Shi Xuan took a big gulp of wine and said. "I am Long Xuan, the Dragon of Death. As the name suggests, my aura and power deviate from the traditional Dragon God lineage."

"You see, within the Dragon God Clan, there are two branches: the Azure Dragon lineage, represented by my older brother the Primordial Azure Dragon God, and my lineage, the Death Dragon lineage."

Yun Lintian was surprised. He didn't expect Long Xuan to be the Primordial Azure Dragon God's younger brother. "Death Dragon lineage? I've never heard of such a thing." He furrowed his brow.

"It's not surprising," Shi Xuan said with a hint of sadness. "Our lineage isn't exactly celebrated within the Dragon God Clan."
