Chapter 2463: Complicated Feelings
Yun Lintian pondered for a moment, his mind awhirl with questions and theories. "Senior," he began, his voice cautious, "do you recall what happened before you encountered Long Bing? Were you alone?"
Lan Hanyu's eyes clouded with a distant memory, her brow furrowing as she delved into the depths of her past. "No," she said slowly, "I was not alone. I was with... with the Golden Qilin God. We fought side-by-side, defending the Primal Chaos against the encroaching hordes of Shadow Demons and Void Creatures."
A wave of sadness washed over her features. "He was a noble and powerful being, a true guardian of the Primal Chaos. But the battle was fierce, the enemies relentless. We were outnumbered, outmatched. In the end, we were both gravely injured, our life forces fading." "The Golden Qilin God, in a desperate attempt to save me, used his remaining power to push me through a spatial rift, hoping to send me to safety. He remained behind, holding back the enemy, sacrificing himself to ensure my survival."
Yun Lintian sighed inwardly at the sacrifice of the Golden Qilin God. He didn't know much about him, but from this alone, he was definitely a true protector of the Primal Chaos.
He thought for a moment and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of a place called the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God?"
Lan Hanyu raised her brow slightly. "The Golden Qilin Kingdom of God?" she echoed, her voice laced with wonder. "No, I have never heard of such a place. What is it?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yun Lintian explained what he had learned from Xue Li, describing the six kingdoms of the Realm of Chaos, each ruled by a powerful being, each a bastion of order in the chaotic expanse. He spoke of the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God, a realm of prosperity and abundance, ruled by a benevolent emperor who embodied the virtues of wisdom and compassion.
Lan Hanyu listened intently, her eyes growing wider with each passing word. A glimmer of hope sparked within her, a possibility she had never dared to dream of. Could it be true? Could the Golden Qilin God have survived, his legacy living on in this unknown realm?
"This is strange." She furrowed her brow.
"Indeed," Yun Lintian nodded. "I do not know the details, but the existence of the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God suggests that his legacy, and perhaps even he himself, may have endured. However, before that," he paused for a moment and continued, "the place where we are standing right now is just an isolated space inside the Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God." "Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God?" Lan Hanyu was stunned. When did she establish a kingdom? Yun Lintian nodded and said, "It seems someone has taken your identity and established a kingdom in your name. The current Ice Phoenix Empress, Lan Bingxue, claims to have inherited your bloodline. She is the ruler of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God."
Lan Hanyu narrowed her eyes slightly. "My blood origin," she said coldly.
"Ah?" Long Bing was taken aback and quickly said, "No, Senior. I wouldn't dare."
"Why not? You saved my life," Lan Hanyu said gently.
Yun Lintian picked up Gui Xiao and placed him on his shoulder, then looked at Lan Hanyu. "Do you want to leave now, Hanyu?"
Long Bing was stunned upon hearing this. Her eyes darted back and forth between Lan Hanyu and Yun Lintian. What exactly had happened down there?
Lan Hanyu looked at Gui Xiao with surprise. "Gui Shen's descendant?"
Gui Xiao blinked his eyes cutely as he looked at Lan Hanyu.
"Yes. He's the current Black Turtle God," Yun Lintian replied.
"I see," Lan Hanyu immediately understood something and sighed softly. "Back then, Gui Shen suffered a grave injury. It seems he didn't make it in the end. What about the others?" she asked.
"There are Senior Divine Phoenix, Senior Golden Crow, and Linlin, a daughter of Senior White Tiger. The Dragon Queen and her daughter are still alive." Yun Lintian didn't hide anything.
"Siqi..." Lan Hanyu's eyes filled with sorrow when she heard this. It seemed the Vermilion Bird God, Yan Siqi, was the only one who had no descendant.
"Senior Vermilion Bird is with me," Yun Lintian said gently and raised his hand. Instantly, a Vermilion Bird shot out of his hand, soaring into the sky.
Lan Hanyu stared at the Vermilion Bird for a long time and said, "Let's go."
