Chapter 2428: Present
Yun Lintian brought everyone to the city not far from the Central Region to find Ling Qian.
When they arrived at the dilapidated building, Ling Qian seemed to be waiting for them, as she had prepared the exact number of teacups needed.
"It is indeed you," the elderly Ancient True God said as he stared at Ling Qian.
"Who are you?" Ling Qian asked calmly.
The elderly Ancient True God narrowed his eyes. "Something has truly happened to you. You can't remember me... I'm Lun Jiye, from the Lun God Clan. We met once when you came to my clan to borrow our Million Years Night Dew Essence."
Ling Qian thought for a moment and shook her head. "I can't remember. Sit down."
Everyone exchanged glances and sat down.
"I just stole some good tea not long ago. The taste is a bit bland for True Gods like you," Ling Qian said calmly.
Lun Jiye took a sip of tea and nodded slightly. "It's terrible."
Yun Lintian waved his hand and brought out the best spirit tea he had before distributing it to everyone.
Ling Qian looked at him with a meaningful smile. "It seems you've encountered another setback."
Yun Lintian smiled wryly. "Unfortunately, I couldn't change my fate here."
"Who can?" Ling Qian smiled faintly.
"How did you survive the Primordial War?" Lun Jiye couldn't help but ask.
"You tell me," Ling Qian responded calmly. "Like I said earlier, I can't remember anything much."
Lun Jiye thought for a moment and said, "You were the maidservant of the God of Fate. When the God of Heaven's subordinates surrounded the Tower of Fate, you stood there and dragged them to hell with you. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Me? The maidservant of the God of Fate?" Ling Qian was genuinely surprised.
"Yes," Lun Jiye nodded. "Let me ask you this: Where did you come from?"
Ling Qian replied calmly, "I found myself on the barren land in the northern part of the Great Expanse."
"Northern...? That should be where the territory of the God of Fate was located," Lun Jiye said in a deep voice. "Perhaps you survived because of the Fate Invert Coin."
"Fate Invert Coin?" Ling Qian raised her brow slightly and opened her palm. A string of copper coins appeared on it. "You mean this?"
Lun Jiye and the other Ancient True Gods were taken aback. They didn't expect to see so many Fate Invert Coins.
"These coins were the only thing I had with me back then," Ling Qian said calmly.
"You... You don't want to know your past at all?" Lun Jiye asked with a serious expression.
"Should I?" Ling Qian smiled faintly. "Whether it's the past or the future, we are better off focusing on the present."
Yun Lintian looked at her strangely. He couldn't believe these words came out of the mouth of a fortune teller who always talked about the future.
Lun Jiye didn't know what to say. He thought he could find an answer and direction from her, but it turned out she couldn't remember anything.
"It's quite clear that our current enemy is the inheritor of the God of Mortals. We just saw the inheritor of the God of Light. If I guess correctly, she should be on the same side as him. This will be troublesome," He Chong said helplessly. Just one inheritor was already difficult to deal with; now there were two.
Yun Lintian remained silent. He had no intention of telling them that the Sun God legacy was in his hands.
Ling Qian turned to Yun Lintian and asked, "Everything revolves around you. What's your next step?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "To tell you the truth, Senior, I don't know. Maybe go back and try to make a breakthrough."
He originally came to find a chance to break through, but the situation was beyond his expectations. Moreover, the environment wasn't as suitable for cultivating as he had thought. The mystery of the crystallization also remained unresolved.
Looking at it this way, Yun Lintian didn't seem to have many options. He could only go back first and think of a plan.
"Since you've decided, let's go together," Ling Qian said.
Yun Lintian was taken aback. "You want to go with me, Senior? I thought you..."
"Times have changed. Of course, I've rescued more children over the years," Ling Qian said with a smile.
Yun Lintian looked at the backyard and saw a large group of children. They were similar to the previous batch.
"I see," Yun Lintian nodded slightly and turned to He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods. "Please come with us, Seniors."
"Sure. Where to?" He Chong naturally had no objections.
Yun Lintian waved his hand, and the Gate of Beyond Heaven appeared beside him.
He Chong and the others were stunned.
"A spatial artifact?" Lun Jiye looked at the gate carefully.
"Yes," Yun Lintian nodded and pushed the door open.
Ling Qian brought the children over and walked into the gate with them, followed by He
Chong and the others.
"This place..." Lun Jiye and the other Ancient True Gods were stunned by the sight of the Land of Beyond Heaven. Although the aura here wasn't as good as in the Primordial Era, the profound laws were complete. It was rare to see this in a spatial artifact.
Yun Lintian found Cang Xiao and let her take care of the children.
When Ling Qian saw the first group of children that Yun Lintian had taken away five years ago,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
she was surprised that their diseases were completely gone.
"How did you do it?" Ling Qian asked curiously.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I don't know."
He turned to Cang Xiao and asked, "What happened during these years?"
Cang Xiao quickly replied, "Reporting to Headmaster, Senior Yue came over four years ago and took the children away before returning them. Their illnesses were gone when they came
back."
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and turned to look at Hongyue. Previously, Hongyue's crystallized disease had also disappeared after meeting with Yue Yun.
"You can ask her yourself," Hongyue said indifferently.
"Well, let's go somewhere, Seniors." Yun Lintian pushed the gate open again and brought everyone to Nine Firmament City.
"This place... Nine Firmament City?" He Chong was stunned. "Hasn't it been destroyed?"
"It's a long story, Senior. You can stay here first," Yun Lintian said.
Lun Jiye looked towards the training ground and said, "There are many powerful True Gods here... One of them is stronger than anyone else, including us."
