Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2363: True Purpose



"A hundred years?" Yue Chuntao said with a solemn expression.

Yue Yun looked at the barrier and said, "The Dragon Sealing Formation is good, but it won't last long against General Class outlaws. The same goes for the World Tree. Once the Primal Chaos's energy is exhausted, the passage will undoubtedly be breached. Moreover, there's uncertainty about the wall up there. We have no idea when Fan Shen and the others will pry it open."

Yun Lintian and the others grew serious.

"I don't quite understand. Why would he do it? I don't see any benefit," Lan Qinghe asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Yue Yun, waiting for her explanation.

Yue Yun gazed into the wasteland outside and asked calmly, "Some of you here experienced the Primordial War firsthand. Let me ask you a question. What was the reason behind the war?"

Long Xi and the other Dragon Ancestors exchanged glances. Honestly, they had no idea either. When the war occurred, the entire Primal Chaos descended into chaos, and there was no time for anyone to investigate the cause. More precisely, it didn't matter anymore at that point.

"Maybe greed?" Long Xuan spoke up.

"Greed? Well, it's just a part of it," Yue Yun said calmly as she turned to look at Long Xuan and the other Dragon Ancestors. "All of you have touched the ceiling of this world. Have you ever wondered whether there is a realm beyond the Primordial God Realm?"

Long Xuan and the Dragon Ancestors were stunned. They had never thought of it before. After all, the Primordial Gods were the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos. They themselves couldn't even become one, so why would they think of something beyond it?

Yue Yun's words echoed through the silence of the barrier, leaving everyone pondering.

"Indeed, a realm beyond Primordial Gods? It sounds absurd," Long Xuan said, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Yue Yun nodded, a faint smile playing on her lips. "It might sound absurd, but the truth is, there is. The Primordial Gods themselves are aware of this. They believe that there is a realm beyond theirs, the realm of the Creator."

A wave of gasps rippled through the group. The Creator, the one who had given birth to the Primal Chaos, was a figure shrouded in mystery and reverence. To even think of reaching his level was unheard of.

"Is it truly possible?" Lan Qinghe asked with a frown.

Yue Yun's gaze turned distant, as if peering through the veil of time. "It is said that when the Creator first created the Primordial Gods, they were not as powerful as we know them to be. They were but mere infants in the vastness of the Primal Chaos. It was the Creator who bestowed upon them their powers, raising them to the pinnacle of existence."

"While doing that, the Creator had to give away her power, which resulted in weakening herself. Later, her mortal enemy, the Chasm of Uncreation, the opposite side of creation, appeared. She was unable to confront him and finally sacrificed herself to deal a severe injury to him."

She paused, letting the weight of her words sink in. "However, even with their newfound power, the Primordial Gods were not content. They craved more. They desired to reach the level of the Creator, to become the masters of their own destiny."

A sense of unease settled over the group. The ambition of the Primordial Gods was terrifying to imagine.

"But, how could they possibly reach the Creator's level?" Lan Qinghe asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Yue Yun's eyes hardened. "The Primordial Gods believed that the Creator's power was scattered throughout the Primal Chaos, hidden within each and every one of them. They believed that by gathering all of this power, they could become the Creator themselves." A cold shiver ran down everyone's spines. The implications of this belief were horrifying. "That's why they started the Primordial War," Yue Yun continued, her voice filled with sorrow. "They fought each other, not for territory or resources, but for the power hidden within each other. They slaughtered countless lives, destroyed entire worlds, all in pursuit of their selfish ambition."

The group fell silent, the weight of the Primordial War pressing down on them. The war had been a cataclysm, a scar that would forever mar the history of the Primal Chaos.

Especially Long Xi and the Dragon Ancestors, who experienced it themselves. They had never imagined the war was caused by such an outrageous reason.

"And now, Fan Shen is trying to do the same," Yue Yun said, her voice filled with determination. "He believes that by breaking the seal and unleashing the Primal Chaos's energy, he can gather enough power to reach the Creator's level."

A sense of dread washed over everyone. If Fan Shen succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Primal Chaos would once again be plunged into chaos, and countless lives would be lost.

"So, the inheritors of the Primordial Gods are in danger," Yue Chuntao said solemnly.

Yue Yun glanced at her and said, "You are one of them."

She then turned to look at Yun Lintian. "And you... You are his prime target. Do you know how many people have sacrificed themselves in order to keep you alive?"

Yun Lintian's heart shook. There seemed to be an overwhelming pressure pressing down on his entire body. It was the weight of hope... hope from everyone.

Yun Lintian often joked to himself about being the protagonist of this world, and he didn't believe it in the beginning. As his journey went on, he began to realize that even if he wasn't the protagonist, he must play a significant role in this novel.

Now, he finally understood his purpose. He finally knew what he had to do and who he had to fight against.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said, "I knew there were many people who tried their best to keep me alive behind the scenes, but I was too ignorant to appreciate their efforts... I will do everything to fulfill their wish."

Yue Yun's gaze softened slightly when she saw a trace of guilt in his eyes. She spoke, "Well, you can't be blamed entirely. You were being kept in the dark all this time."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I know they wanted to protect me. However, I should have worked harder to find out the truth earlier."

"It's not too late," Long Xi said gently. "Everything has its own timing. And for you, it is this

moment."

Yun Lintian nodded heavily. "I know what to do now."
