The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 712 - 220 The Great Flood

In the span of a mere three days, one should view others with renewed eyes.

Su’e hadn’t expected that, in such a short time since her separation from Lin Yun, he had grown to this extent.

What’s more, he had always been audacious.

When they first met, he dared to defile the Divine Spirit in his mind to test whether she could accurately see the images in his thoughts, and now, he was actually thinking of tackling a Divine Spirit?

What did he mean by tackling?

Typically, there are two ways to eliminate a problem: one is to solve the problem itself, and the other is to eliminate the person causing the problem.

It wasn’t clear which method Lin Yun intended to take.

By now, Lin Yun’s Divine Soul was a thousand times, even ten thousand times stronger than in the beginning, making it incredibly difficult for her to probe his thoughts, let alone see clearly into his mind.

So much so that Su’e didn’t know where Lin Yun got the confidence to deal with her. Was it because of Qian Qian?

Wait, that’s not right!

Lin Yun was aware that she had the ability to read minds, and with his current cultivation level, controlling his wandering thoughts should be a simple task. So why was he revealing his thoughts so easily to her...

"This brat, he’s actually threatening me!"

Su’e immediately realized that Lin Yun was playing a deep game.

Upon this thought, a surge of anger welled up inside Su’e.

Do not mistake my reticence for weakness!

He had defiled her at their first meeting, destroyed her Primordial Chaos Bead, lost her Moon Water Spirit Pearl, and now he dared to threaten her. How could anyone be so outrageous!

Even though she no longer possessed the strength of the Moon God of yesteryear, she was still not a weakling among Divine Spirits.

"I’m aware of your purpose for coming here. Qian Qian, has it been so long that you’ve forgotten the fear of being under my command?"

Su’e’s misty figure slowly solidified, and although her body remained ethereal, it exerted tremendous pressure on Qian Qian.

But at this moment, retreating was not an option for Qian Qian.

She had sworn to Lin Yun that she was an even match for Su’e. Now, with Su’e revealing her past weakness, could she really afford to lose face?

Even if she was once hung up and whipped, that was when she was still naive and inexperienced, a new god bullied by an old one. What was there to be proud of? Besides, she had later on, through her outstanding learning ability, indeed become an equal match for Su’e, and that was no idle boast.

"I have always been improving, while you have always been regressing. When I left Guanghan Palace, I was already on par with you. Today, I am far stronger than before."

Qian Qian looked ready to take on Su’e, even somewhat eager, but she quickly changed her tune, "However, I’m not here to fight with you today. I just want to inquire about some matters regarding the Heaven-Mending Stone."

Translation: I can fight you, but there’s no need.

Su’e was an old fox and could hear the slight fear hidden in the assertive tone of Qian Qian’s words.

After all these years, Qian Qian’s nature had not changed.

But as they say, every destiny is preordained. There used to be so many brash men, and what became of them? Did they not all perish in the great calamity?

The fact that Qian Qian survived intact, with her strength unscathed and even improved, was all thanks to her cautiousness.

To put it in a way that flattered her intelligence, she was steady.

Since Qian Qian had stated her position, and Su’e knew her own current level – it would be best to avoid a fight if possible, as she truly didn’t currently have the capability to defeat Qian Qian.

Still, the Moon God’s reputation could not be lost.

"If that’s the case, then you must know that if you want my help, you need to offer something in return."

Think you can mooch off what I know? Not a chance!

"You can just say it."

"In a hundred days, come here and do me a favor."

A hundred days?

Qian Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly when she heard the timeframe.

Su’e probably couldn’t imagine that she and Lin Yun had already traveled to the future.

Counting the days, it would be roughly in a hundred days that Dongfang Hongyue would venture to the Netherland to obtain the Sinful Blood and then be drawn to Su’e.

Strictly speaking, the timing wasn’t exact. But since their return to this era, the world’s timeline may have experienced some changes, and a slight adjustment to the timing wouldn’t be surprising.

It was highly likely that Su’e wanted her help to deal with Dongfang Hongyue.

Dongfang Hongyue was the woman Lin Yun would protect even at the cost of his own life. If Qian Qian acted against Dongfang Hongyue, it was probable that Lin Yun would fight her to the death.

"Hmph, it’s not about caring for Lin Yun’s feelings. It’s that the Sinful Blood Dongfang Hongyue has contaminated could lead to the Twilight of the Gods and thereafter the fall of many gods. It’s not something I should touch."

Qian Qian found a reason for herself, so she didn’t rashly agree to Su’e’s request. She replied indifferently, "I can help, but if I sense danger, I can leave at any time. How does that sound?"

"Agreed."

Su’e did not press further, much to Qian Qian’s surprise.

Divine Spirits don’t make light promises; the words they say and the commitments they make carry the weight of karma. Therefore, Qian Qian didn’t agree to Su’e’s terms just to obtain information, thinking to renege later. She put forward her conditions upfront.

If she really intended to leave when she wanted, then this was a term she could agree to.

"Deal, you can now speak of matters related to the Heaven-Mending Stone."

Qian Qian looked at Su’e’s phantom, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Even if her own strength might not be weaker than this established elder god, she still retained a deep sense of wariness towards her.

Su’e, like her, was a Divine Spirit who had lived from the God Realm era to the present, and Su’e was even more ancient. She had even merged with a Divine Position, having truly experienced the Twilight of the Gods and the calamities of the Demons and Gods era afterwards.

Somehow, she had survived it all, unlike Qian Qian, who had only stayed alive by hiding herself away.

Su’e was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Not coming into conflict with her was truly for the best.

"The Heaven-Mending Stone was something that Dongfang Yao, Tai Bai, and I found within the Primordial Ruins; that was our greatest discovery from that expedition, but it might also have been because of that exploration that Dongfang Yao got infected with the Sinful Blood in the Outer Realm."

Lin Yun: "..."

What Su’e spoke of was probably the adventure he had seen in his dreams, but had not fully witnessed.

Regrettably, the dream had ended too abruptly. Otherwise, knowing what they encountered afterwards, what treasures they found, Qian Qian wouldn’t have had to agree to Su’e’s condition.

Qian Qian didn’t interrupt Su’e’s speech, she listened quietly, never letting her guard down.

"Primordial Ruins, that’s the term Tai Bai coined. Her exploration into ancient history far surpasses Dongfang Yao’s and mine. According to Tai Bai’s theories for division, the Ancient Era should be regarded as the first epoch, from the birth to the extinction of gods, now referred to as the Ancient Era, constituting the second epoch. From the end of the Age of Gods and Demons to the present should be considered the third epoch."

Qian Qian: "..."

Though Su’e was troublesome in many ways, she was actually quite good when it came to educational matters, clearly explaining everything that was related.

But this also brought forth more and more new knowledge, necessitating further explanation.

As Qian Qian anticipated, Su’e even initiated interaction this time: "Do you know what measures the end and the beginning of an era?"

Qian Qian fell into thought, while Lin Yun was the first to speak up: "If I’m not mistaken, it should be the change in the main characters of each era, right? The main characters of the Ancient Era were the ancient gods, during the Ancient Era were the Divine Spirits, and now in the third epoch, it’s humans. The end of each era is the curtain call for the main characters of that era."

"Congratulations, you’re wrong."

Su’e looked at Lin Yun with amusement, watching his confident smile fade away, her heart filling with satisfaction.

She enjoyed seeing Lin Yun discomfited.

Sometimes, happiness can be that simple.

"The answer is the world-ending floods capable of destroying the world; each era ends with Its awakening. Beneath such floods, even gods have no escape."

Su’e spoke with a profound sense: "The third epoch is coming to an end soon."

Lin Yun: "..."

Qian Qian: "..."

Because she had hidden herself within her own God Realm, she didn’t actually know how exactly all the gods had died, but hearing it from Su’e, someone in the know, Qian Qian still found it somewhat unbelievable.

When Su’e mentioned the division of the third epoch, her guess was similar to Lin Yun’s; she hadn’t expected it to be the great flood.

How could Divine Spirits drown in a flood?

Qian Qian thought of the Lifeless Water beneath Cloud Dream Marsh.

That kind of water could indeed pose a threat to Divine Spirits.

It seemed the great calamity was indeed approaching; a way to hide was necessary.

With this in mind, Qian Qian didn’t forget her original purpose.

"Does the Heaven-Mending Stone have something to do with these matters?"

"Yes, that ancient god created the Heaven-Mending Stone precisely to suppress the great floods. Despite this, she still couldn’t change the outcome. The Ancient Era was still ended by the great calamity."

Upon hearing this, Qian Qian felt an immense sense of danger, wishing she could return immediately. Unfortunately, she couldn’t go back now and could only reluctantly follow Lin Yun.

"Is a world-ending flood the great calamity? In that case, wouldn’t finding a boat solve the problem?"

Having seen people boating on water in the future, Lin Yun had figured this out. Even if the greenish water no longer followed the rules of electrolytic decomposition, it should still adhere to the physical principle that water can carry a boat.

With that in mind, as long as he built a boat large enough, he could protect a large number of people.

When the flood came, they would not lack the ability to survive.

Lin Yun thought his reasoning was quite sound, but then he heard Su’e say, "The floods destroy the world, but do you know what kind of existence creates floods capable of destroying the world?"

Lin Yun: "..."

I really don’t know, but maybe I do.

This world is rather small, again with a great flood, again with It, could the suspect not be right inside Its belly?

Qing Nu was a prime suspect among the gods, but Lin Yun thought, how could Qing Nu, so beautiful, possibly be the villain?

"Do you know who it is?"

Lin Yun asked tentatively, not really expecting Su’e to reveal the answer.

Su’e looked at Lin Yun with her profound gaze, her finger pointing towards a stele not far away...
