Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2071 Decree From Heaven

Everyone glanced at each other silently. The possibility, once uttered aloud, hung heavy in the air.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed. It was a theory he'd entertained, a nagging suspicion lingering at the back of his mind. The similarities were too conspicuous to ignore.

"It's not impossible," he admitted, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Both figures possess immense power and display an uncanny ability to manipulate the fabric of reality. Additionally, the timing of their disappearances coinciding with pivotal moments in their respective worlds is too coincidental to be a mere chance occurrence."

Yun Huanxin furrowed her brow, expressing her doubt. "But why? What would be her motive for leaving the Azure World and now the Nine Heavens Realm, especially under such a cryptic persona?"

"As we've noticed," Yun Qianxue said calmly, "everything this person did was to pave the way for Lintian. If she's truly the Chaos Goddess, her timely disappearance from the Nine Heavens Realm should hold a similar reason. It is to allow Lintian to grow further."

Han Bingling frowned slightly. "There's always this nagging feeling that there's more to it," she said. "The evidence is clear that the Beyond Heaven King was aware of his own status as the God of Fate's inheritor. Since he tasked the mysterious woman with preparing Lintian's path, there's a high chance she's aware as well."

Her gaze swept across the room. "Furthermore, it's possible they're aware of the other inheritors. Now, put yourself in their shoes. Would you eliminate these people?"

A thoughtful silence descended upon the room. Whether the mysterious woman and the Chaos Goddess were one and the same became irrelevant. The core issue was the Chaos Goddess's seemingly intentional disappearance, allowing Ren Yuan to revive the Heavenly Court. What was the motive behind it?

The Beyond Heaven King and the Chaos Goddess couldn't be unaware of Ren Yuan's identity as the God of Heaven's inheritor and Yun Lintian's enemy. So why would they allow him to grow stronger?

Yun Lintian suddenly thought of Lin Yitong. He didn't know why she went away in this situation. Without a doubt, there must be something more important than the God Tomb… something related to the future.

The missing pieces of the puzzle were starting to form a disturbing picture. Lin Yitong's sudden departure, the cryptic actions of the Chaos Goddess, and Ren Yuan's rise to power - all of it felt orchestrated, a grand play with unseen strings pulling the characters towards an unknown climax.

"We need more information," declared Yun Qianxue, her voice echoing in the tense silence. "The God Tomb might hold some clues. If the Chaos Goddess was involved, there's a high chance she left something behind."

Yun Lintian nodded grimly. "We'll go to the God Tomb, but we can't neglect the situation outside. Ren Yuan won't wait for us to become stronger."

Yun Lintian turned to Yun Meilan. "Meilan, can you establish an intelligent network here in the Nine Heavens Realm?"

"It will take time," Yun Meilan responded calmly.

"That's alright," Yun Lintian said. "We're not in any rush to confront Ren Yuan. My primary concern is gauging the sentiment of the true gods, particularly the Jade Emperor, the Western Emperor, and the Northern Demon Lord. Right now, they're likely waiting to see how Ren Yuan handles the other powerhouses first."

"As long as these former subordinates of the God of Heaven don't rush to recognize Ren Yuan as their master, we will still have enough time to deal with him."

He looked at everyone and said. "We will leave for the God Tomb in a week."

Everyone had no objection.

A week later, Yun Lintian's group prepared to depart for the God Tomb after failing to secure proper information about the Chaos Goddess and the God Tomb.

The atmosphere in the Jade Mountain God Realm felt noticeably different. News traveled fast, especially when it involved a power shift as significant as the Heavenly Court's resurgence.

As Yun Lintian's group was about to board the ship and leave, a booming voice resonated across the realm, catching everyone by surprise. It emanated from the direction of the Heavenly Palace, the seat of power for the Heavenly Court.

"By decree of the Heavenly Emperor, Ren Yuan, the God Tomb, previously sealed for eons, shall be opened to practitioners above the Divine King Realm starting from today. Those who enter and contribute to the Heavenly Court's glory shall be handsomely rewarded."

The announcement reverberated through the airwaves, instantly sparking a storm of reactions. Practitioners across the Nine Heavens Realm stopped in their tracks, jaws agape in surprise. The God Tomb! A legendary location shrouded in mystery, rumored to hold unimaginable treasures and secrets of the ancient gods. And now, it was being thrown open?

Yun Lintian's group exchanged glances. Ren Yuan's public gesture was undoubtedly a calculated move, a way to attract followers and bolster his growing power.

"Just as we expected," Yun Lintian said calmly. "He's using people to mess with us."

There was no doubt Ren Yuan was aware of Yun Lintian's plan to visit the God Tomb. New n0vel chapters are published on n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

"This is quite troublesome," Yun Huanxin frowned in dissatisfaction.

"On the contrary," Yun Lintian countered, meeting her gaze, "this presents an opportunity. We can infiltrate these gatherings."

Yun Huanxin's eyebrows rose slightly, but she remained silent.

"Sadly," Yun Lintian continued, his voice deepening, "many will fall victim to his manipulation."

Lin Xinyao offered a gentle touch, her voice soft. "The choice is theirs, ultimately."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I understand, of course. It's not their plight that troubles me. It's the tragic irony – they're pawns, unwitting participants in his grand scheme."

Yun Lintian couldn't imagine what would have happened if the Beyond Heaven King and the other seniors hadn't insisted on pushing the Primordial God Tribe's people out of the Divine Realm back then after being ambushed by Ren Yuan. A billion lives would have been lost that day.

Now, the situation was the same. Yun Lintian could reckon with a massive group of people flocking towards the God Tomb to try their luck. They had no idea what they would encounter inside.

Just as Yun Lintian and the others prepared to leave, a gentle female voice suddenly resonated in their minds.

"I would like to invite everyone to my place," the voice said.

Yun Lintian and the others subconsciously turned towards the Jade Mountain at the end of their line of sight.

They exchanged brief glances before boarding the skyship and heading towards the mountain…
