The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 738 - 246: Collecting God’s Blood

Tai Bai spoke in the first person about that period of history, which also gave Lin Yun a deeper understanding of the catastrophe that had occurred.

He had read many versions already. Some said the Sun God was the instigator of the Twilight of the Gods, and now Tai Bai was taking the blame on behalf of The Four Great Divine Nations. Good job, do you all like to snatch the blame?

But what they said all made sense.

"We wanted to transcend calamity but ended up triggering a great disaster; it was at that time that I comprehended the Path of Destiny. From the beginning, we were played by the Heavenly Dao and destiny, everything was arranged by fate."

As Tai Bai spoke, she became increasingly angry. As a top-tier god, she naturally did not like to be manipulated by others.

Therefore, after that, she only had one thought, which was to defy the heavens and to break free from the shackles of fate.

"My fate is my own, not dictated by the heavens. If the Heavenly Dao wants to control my destiny, I will break these heavens!"

Tai Bai declared with commanding boldness, and Lin Yun felt as if he, too, was ablaze with inspiration.

However, piercing the heavens might cause them to leak water.

Having seen the memories of Ancestor Bai, Lin Yun knew about immortals fighting, punching a hole in the sky, which led to torrential rain and a great flood.

This time, the flood was not caused by Qing Nu, but the harm was still significant.

"What do you plan to do?"

Lin Yun interrupted Tai Bai’s grand aspirations, causing a slight displeasure in her, but she still explained, "I have achieved some accomplishments in the Path of Destiny. Now that Cangtian has perished, I naturally will seize the opportunity to come out of hiding, unify the world, establish the Heavenly Court, and use the Power of the Imperial Dynasty to help me break through my limits!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Still planning to come out of hiding, that could be troublesome.

Understanding Lin Yun’s thoughts, Tai Bai glanced at him and said, "Don’t worry, that was just my previous idea. Now that I have you, I naturally don’t have to put all my eggs in one basket."

Without Lin Yun and the loss of Canglan, if she did not make a final effort, her more than a hundred thousand years of hiding would have been in vain. Although she might not die in the calamities that followed, she would still be arranged by fate.

Perhaps she would end up trapped in the Desolate Ruins just like now, not dead but devoid of freedom, which would be no different from death.

Instead of such a fate, it was better to take a gamble.

Now that she had Lin Yun, there was no need for her to take risks.

"I will find a way to help you become a god, and you are currently the Child of Heavenly Mandate, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you to become a god."

"Become a god? I am the Child of Heavenly Mandate?"

Lin Yun had always known he was extraordinary, but this was the first time someone acknowledged him as the Child of Heavenly Mandate, which was a bit thrilling.

"That’s right, you are the Child of Heavenly Mandate. Being born as a Qilin, favored by heaven and earth, it is inevitable, but the Heavenly Dao does not know that your destiny has already been revealed by me, making you my ally."

Lin Yun: "..."

Wait a minute, this way of speaking was oddly familiar. Goodness, was she asking me to be an insider traitor?

As Lin Yun expected, Tai Bai said, "I have a new plan. Next, you and I will pretend to be at odds, I will expel you and Qian Qian from the Divine Country, and then initiate a war against the Primordial Realm.

In order to deal with this war, the Heavenly Dao will surely find ways to empower the people of your Primordial Realm. In such circumstances, your strength will grow rapidly, and as long as you find the right method, becoming a god will not be difficult."

Lin Yun: "..."

It seems that I’m destined to be an insider traitor in this life, but the rank of this insider traitor is getting higher and higher. Before, it was deceiving people, but now even the Heavenly Dao is being deceived.

However, Tai Bai’s suggestion was all to his benefit, and from his current performance, he had achieved his advancement goal and established a good relationship with Tai Bai.

Now there was only one final step left, to win over Tai Bai.

"So how do I become a god?"

Listening to Lin Yun asking this, Tai Bai also showed a smile, indicating that he had agreed to her suggestion.

Good, she liked such a cooperative ally.

As a Qilin, Lin Yun would not be underestimated by her, and Tai Bai had her pride. She would not flatter him because of his status but rather treat him as an ally and fellow cultivator on the same level, which was Tai Bai’s attitude.

Putting aside Lin Yun’s identity, Tai Bai also appreciated him. Since he agreed so quickly, Tai Bai did not hold back and directly said, "For a mortal to become a god is of course extremely difficult, but you were originally a Divine Spirit, what you need to do is simply to awaken your own power."

Lin Yun: "..."

But I might also not be a god; perhaps I might even be a demon...

Lin Yun started to feel somewhat less confident, yet Tai Bai spoke energetically about the method of awakening.

"Since you are the reincarnation of a Qilin, according to the Heavenly Book, you may need to gather the powers or essence blood of the Four Holy Spirits."

Having said that, Tai Bai condensed a drop of her divine blood and offered it to Lin Yun.

"Although I am a split spirit of the White Tiger, I am not much different from the true form. Before being sealed into the Desolate Ruins, the true White Tiger foresaw its own deadly calamity and entrusted most of its bloodline power to me."

As Tai Bai recounted this piece of the past, there was a hint of melancholy in her heart. She didn’t need the bloodline power of the White Tiger, but she knew why it was left to her.

It was not to make her stronger, but to preserve its own line of bloodline descent.

And so, Tai Bai used what she obtained in the Outer Realm

The prophecy of the White Tiger was not wrong, she and the other three Holy Spirits eventually perished and vanished, leaving only the legend in the world.

Having previously heard Yu Jiaolong speak of the Four Spirits Barrier, Tai Bai faintly knew of their fate.

Turning into the barrier, where was the chance for survival?

This must have been the workings of the Heavenly Dao, forcing them to undertake such an act. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But since the barrier succeeded, perhaps her four comrades had done something to the Heavenly Dao before their demise.

Years had passed, and Tai Bai felt she must carry the banner forward, to pierce through the heavens that veiled the sky!

For this, she didn’t hesitate to offer a drop of her divine blood.

"The divine blood of Biluo and Canghai, I will find a way to give to you secretly, as for Canglan... she is actually within you, and you should know that! Therefore, you’ve had the blood of the Azure Dragon all along."

Tai Bai didn’t care whether Lin Yun knew of Canglan’s existence before, but now, he must be aware.

This was the decisiveness of Tai Bai, once she decided to make Lin Yun an ally, she didn’t conceal anything, and advanced the plan’s implementation fully.

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Indeed, I am aware Canglan resides within me, and she and I had an agreement that after obtaining fortune in the Primordial Realm, I would help her restore the Divine Country."

It was also at that time Lin Yun came to know that Canglan carried the blood of the Azure Dragon. Now thinking about it, it all made sense. Since Canglan was dwelling within him, the blood of the Azure Dragon had long fused within him.

This probably was the reason why the Azure Dragon Gu Worm rebelled against its original master not long after hatching.

As for why Xiao Qing later dared to take the name Qing Nu, there might be another reason for that.

In any case, the help Canglan provided to Lin Yun was indeed significant. Although she never appeared in person, she gave Lin Yun the best start and the best protection.

Now still in slumber, her good friend Tai Bai couldn’t stand by idly.

"She was the one who indulged her believers the most in the past, even revealing prophecies such as ’The azure heavens have perished, a new heaven shall stand’ to her followers, thinking about it, the collapse of her godly realm must be related to this!"

Lin Yun nodded, Tai Bai’s calculations were quite accurate.

Without comparison, there is no harm done. Canglan, as a top-tier deity, her realm collapsed so quickly, due to the prophecy of "The azure heavens have perished, a new heaven shall stand".

However, this ’azure heaven’ referred to the world’s Heavenly Dao, not Canglan.

But among Canglan’s believers, some who were not devout enough twisted this interpretation and spread it. Unfortunately, Canglan was unable to respond to her followers, and among them, there was no shortage of ambitious individuals.

Saying ’The azure heaven has perished, a new heaven shall stand,’ wasn’t it implying that I could also have a chance to become the ’new heaven’?

Thus, a great chaos erupted, faith was greatly lost, and Canglan’s realm crumbled even more, causing the environment to deteriorate, which further led to more people losing faith in Canglan.

By the time Lin Yun arrived at Canglan Divine Country, only a few remained who still devoutly worshipped Canglan.

Such scant faith was insufficient to revive Canglan, and couldn’t even maintain the Divine Country.

If not for Lin Yun’s emergence, Canglan would’ve likely slowly perished in the void’s erosion, becoming an exploded bubble.

In the end, the only survivors of Canglan Divine Country were Guyu alone, along with Lin Yun, the outsider who traversed there.

If not for Lin Yun’s promise, Guyu would’ve had no chance to survive.

"In the end, she paid the price for her kindness, I hope you will not make the same mistake."

Tai Bai looked at Lin Yun seriously and said, "Since Canglan is within you, she definitely won’t die any time soon, you must not give her your fortune, lest it draw the attention of the Heavenly Dao. The priority now is to enhance your strength as much as possible. I have a feeling that we don’t have much time left."

Lin Yun: "..."

worthy of being the former archenemy, is this considered a blow to someone who is down?

But Tai Bai’s reminder was unnecessary; at this time, Lin Yun of course knew what was urgent and important.

If he knew that Canglan and Tai Bai were best friends...

"I will try my best."

Lin Yun consumed Tai Bai’s divine blood in one gulp, clearly feeling a strange power enter his body, swiftly merging with his blood.

Then...

It was like a drop of water falling into the sea, with no further effect.

But the sensation was quite familiar.

When Lin Yun defeated Lin Yu, he also felt something extra within his body, but it did not result in a noticeable increase in strength like it did with Dongfang Hongyue.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it and attributed it to an improvement in constitution brought by the purity of his foundation.

Now that he thought about it, he had a similar feeling after his encounters with the Snow Maiden and the Flower Fairy, cough cough.

For a moment, Lin Yun’s gaze toward Tai Bai became somewhat strange.

You might not believe it if I told you, but I’ve already gathered all four bloods of the Spirits...
