Xia Nongyue's eyes flickered with surprise. Without a doubt, the second possibility was far more convincing. After all, she believed in Yun Lintian's judgment regarding the seal's condition.
What Xia Nongyue didn't know was that Yun Lintian could be certain of it because he knew the seal was made from the joint efforts of the Scholar God and the others. It was almost impossible for it to wear off on its own.
The only answer was that someone strong enough to damage the seal had done so, and that person must have been the Lord of Chaos, the pinnacle existence of the Realm of Chaos.
Moreover, the World Eater had also warned him about the Lord of Chaos. Yun Lintian naturally believed him more than the Lord of Chaos's lackeys, like Dian Lun.
The problem was....what was the purpose behind it? What was the benefit of releasing the Chasm of Uncreation back into the world?
"Then Sister Cai..." Xia Nongyue's expression changed slightly.
Yun Lintian didn't want to make her feel down, but it was an unavoidable fact. Perhaps Cai Xieren was no longer the Cai Xieren she once knew.
"Can you tell me about the entire process? How did Senior Cai decide to go to the Haven?" he asked curiously.
Xia Nongyue's expression sank as she answered, "It wasn't her decision, but the Divine Light Empress's. She told her that it was the best opportunity to improve her strength. At first, it should have been me to go, but Sister Cai seemed to notice something and volunteered."
A strange light flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes when he heard this. His intuition was indeed accurate. There was something wrong with the Divine Light Empress, or the regents in general. Whether it was Lan Bingxue, Qi Zongwen, or the other regents, they might be fully under the Lord of Chaos's command.
However, Yun Lintian wasn't worried about Lan Hanyu and Qi Gang, as he had secretly left a protective mechanism for them.
"Do you think that the Divine Light Empress...?" Xia Nongyue asked uncertainly.
"Before I met you, I heard a thing or two about you from Hongyue. She told me that you were the most cool-headed one. How come you've become unconfident in your judgment now?" Yun Lintian said calmly.
Xia Nongyue lowered her head and said nothing. In fact, she couldn't be blamed for this. The environments of the Divine Realm and the Realm of Chaos were immensely different. In the Divine Realm, her knowledge and experience could be put to full use, but here, she was no different from an inexperienced young cultivator.
Moreover, the Divine Light Empress was indeed kind to her and Cai Xieren. Although she had some doubts, Xia Nongyue didn't dare to judge her directly.
Suddenly, Xia Nongyue raised her head, her eyes widening in shock. "What did you say just now? Hongyue?... Do you mean Yue Hongyue? Is she still alive?"
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Yes. She's alive and kicking. Right now, she's training hard to catch up with me."
Xia Nongyue was delighted as she muttered to herself repeatedly, "That's good... That's good."
"There are many people you should know-Master Bai, Yun Yi, Grandma Yun Xia, Senior Yue Hua, and the others," Yun Lintian continued.
Xia Nongyue was surprised. "This is good. They are all alive," she said with joy. It was the first time Yun Lintian had seen this expression from her.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What's the situation in the Divine Realm? Where's Ren Yuan now?"
"Ren Yuan is the inheritor of the God of Heaven. He's now hiding inside the Heavenly Court. As for the Divine Realm, it is extremely stable and safe currently," Yun Lintian answered briefly.
"The inheritor of the God of Heaven?" Xia Nongyue frowned deeply. She knew that Ren Yuan was extremely strong, but she didn't expect him to have such a powerful inheritance.
"I don't know how strong he is right now. Perhaps he has already become a True God," Yun Lintian said gently. Regarding Ren Yuan, he was confident in dealing with him, even if he had already become a True God.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Xia Nongyue asked. She wanted to know about the Primordial Gods.
Before Yun Lintian could reply, they both suddenly sensed an oppressive aura coming toward them.
Seeing a humongous silhouette, Yun Lintian immediately recognized it. It was none other than the World Eater.
"This... The World Eater," Xia Nongyue said solemnly.
"It's fine. Senior World Eater isn't an enemy," Yun Lintian said and flew toward the World Eater.
Xia Nongyue didn't say anything further and quickly followed suit.
"Senior," Yun Lintian politely greeted the World Eater.
The World Eater glanced at Yun Lintian. "It's you? Why aren't you gone yet?"
"I'm sorry, Senior. I didn't heed your suggestion and went deeper into the Abyssal Rift." Yun Lintian quickly recounted the situation to the World Eater.
The World Eater was slightly surprised. "So, the commotion earlier was caused by you?"
"Yes," Yun Lintian nodded slightly.
The World Eater was silent for a moment. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I know, Senior," Yun Lintian replied firmly.
The World Eater stared at Yun Lintian for a while. "As expected from Wuhan's son. It seems you aren't as naive as I thought."
Yun Lintian smiled without saying anything.
"It's good that you know what you are doing. However, you shouldn't underestimate your opponents. In terms of experience, you are only a little over a hundred years old, while your opponents have been living for eons. There are many things you don't know about them," the World Eater said in a deep voice.
"Understood, Senior. I will try my best," Yun Lintian said solemnly.
"What's your next plan?" The World Eater asked and then changed his mind. "No. You don't have to tell me."
Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. "Senior, you...?"
"Of course, I knew that someone was watching us back then, but I didn't care," the World
Eater said calmly.
He waved his tail slightly, and a pile of Chaos Crystals flew over. It was as if they had just come
out of his rear.
"Take them. They're freshly baked," the World Eater said calmly.
Yun Lintian didn't know whether he was making a joke. He stored the Chaos Crystals away.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Go. It's time for you to leave," the World Eater said gently.
