The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 815 - 321: Could I Be the Source of the Disaster?
Lin Yiyi could indeed understand Lin Yun’s urgency, but...
How could they not first talk about how fate had wronged her? Indeed, love could fade away.
Lin Yiyi pursed her lips and muttered, "How would I know the source of the catastrophe? But whatever it is that forced you and Mother Goddess—one to reincarnate and the other to lose all power—it mustn’t be something good to provoke."
Hearing this, Lin Yun was slightly disappointed, but this was within his expectations. After all, such ancient secrets should not be known by Lin Yiyi given her capabilities.
Cough cough, although Lin Yun was still just a mortal, he felt an inexplicable confidence, always feeling that Lin Yiyi, despite being the Demon Emperor, seemed to be no big deal.
Perhaps Lin Yiyi and Wu Xin shared similar attributes, no matter how strong they were, they didn’t seem to pose much of a threat...
"Since you don’t know, let’s leave it at that. It’s fine, let’s move on and discuss the second matter."
Lin Yun didn’t dwell on the source of the catastrophe. In fact, he had already made a guess in his mind.
Although he had no absolute proof, most of the information he had gathered pointed towards Qing Nu.
This speculation was something Lin Yun could only ponder in his heart and not share with others, because even uttering the name of Qing Nu could alert her to his thoughts.
Given that he was someone Qing Nu paid special attention to, invoking her name might beckon her divine descent.
Lin Yiyi’s lips were pouting again.
She didn’t want to say anything; she just wanted to discuss how to take revenge on fate.
Now that both her divine father and mother had returned, if they did not seek revenge now, then when?
Alas, Lin Yun was presiding over the small meeting, and he ignored Lin Yiyi’s expression, seriously saying, "Regarding you and Wu Xin, you are the same person, but she has drifted alone and has developed her own thoughts. I would like to hear your opinion."
Only then did Lin Yiyi realize what was going on.
No wonder the divine father wasn’t in a hurry to help her seek revenge—turns out he had a new little darling!
Lin Yiyi’s eyes turned slightly hostile when she looked at Wu Xin.
Previously, she didn’t care much about the split spirit that she had created—it was something she could absorb or let be.
Thinking about it now, she had been too hasty.
Wu Xin was just like her when she was young, after all, a pure True Spirit split from her own body, similar to how The Four Sacred Beasts split to create the Four Divine Emperors. Wu Xin just didn’t have such immense power, but her origin was no different from Lin Yiyi’s.
So, she could also be considered the divine father’s daughter.
By this logic, Lin Yiyi was no longer Lin Yun’s only daughter. Especially since Lin Yun obviously favored her younger self, she might not even be able to compete with Wu Xin for affection.
She could not accept this!
"I think it’s better for her to return to her origin. We are one, after all. After she returns, my strength will also recover faster."
Lin Yiyi glared sharply at Wu Xin, looking as if she could devour her.
Wu Xin became a bit panicked and clung to Lin Yun’s sleeve again.
She knew that if Lin Yiyi insisted on her returning, she had absolutely no power to resist; only Lin Yun could save her.
This was the first time Lin Yun saw Wu Xin being so well-behaved. Not that she hadn’t been well-behaved before, but she was just too tsundere.
But tsundere was also a moe point, and truth be told, Lin Yun liked Wu Xin quite a bit.
If she were to return to her origin, it would naturally mean the dissolution of her will and her existence as part of Lin Yiyi.
In this sense, Wu Xin could not be said to have died, but she would surely have disappeared.
And Lin Yun found that rather regrettable.
"Wu Xin has already acquired her own consciousness. Could you reconsider this matter? Now that your Mother Goddess has returned, she should be able to protect you for a while and help you regain your power, right?"
In order to help Wu Xin, Lin Yun had no choice but to resort to moral coercion.
He had made the request; could Lin Yiyi decently refuse?
As for the loss Lin Yiyi would incur, Lin Yun did have a way to make it up to her. When in doubt, feeding her blood was the right move.
Wu Xin felt a profound warmth surging in her heart when she heard Lin Yun speaking up for her.
This deep sense of security, like that of a mountain, gave Wu Xin a solid peace she had never experienced before.
Lin Yiyi watched her and Lin Yun sticking so close together, feeling so envious that her face was almost contorted.
Ever since she had grown up, Father-God had not been so affectionate with her.
Yet Wu Xin could do so with reckless abandon, truly...
"Mother Goddess..."
Lin Yiyi acted coquettishly towards Zhen Li seeking help, hoping that Mother Goddess would surely be on her side!
Mother Goddess had always been jealous of her; previously she was preoccupied with just her, she certainly wouldn’t want another daughter!
This was where Lin Yiyi miscalculated.
Zhen Li had only been observing, but when Lin Yiyi came seeking for help, her thoughts wandered too.
If she had only Lin Yiyi as a daughter, surely she would compete for affection with herself.
But with another Wu Xin entering the picture, Lin Yiyi’s attention would be diverted, reducing the obstacle when she and Lin Yun had children, wouldn’t it?
"I feel that Heaven has virtue of cherishing life; her reaching this point today was not easy. Both your Father-God and I will treat her like our own daughter, consider it like having an additional sister, how about that?"
Zhen Li truly delivered a checkmate this time, leaving Lin Yiyi feeling utterly defeated in Demon Capital.
She just didn’t want a sister!
But now that both Lin Yun and Zhen Li had spoken on Wu Xin’s behalf, she could only look at Wu Xin with a sullen gaze.
Within that resentment was also a hint of threat: Dare to compete with me for affection and you’re dead!
"Alright, no bullying your sister."
Seeing this, Lin Yun pinched Lin Yiyi’s face to placate her, essentially setting the tone for the situation.
From now on, Wu Xin would be Lin Yiyi’s sister.
Naturally, Wu Xin became his daughter as well.
At this thought, Wu Xin’s feelings suddenly became very complicated.
A bit happy, yet also a bit lost; these conflicting emotions coexisted, and Wu Xin could not figure out why.
"Finally, we need to discuss the matter of the war between Demons and Gods."
Lin Yun’s efficiency in meetings was always quick, never dragging things out, mainly because many matters didn’t delve into deep discussions.
Lin Yun indeed wanted to delve into topics like "Innate Gods," "New World," "Fate"... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
All these terms spoken by Lin Yiyi were of interest to Lin Yun, each one he wanted to discuss further, but he felt the timing wasn’t right, so he put them on hold for now.
After several issues were discussed, it only took a little time before the final item was reached.
"The Four Spirits Barrier has been reopened; Demon Land and Mortal Realm are no longer separated, but I do not wish to see war."
Before coming to Demon Land, Lin Yun thought about how to infiltrate as a mole to sabotage and delay the Demon Land’s invasion plans as much as possible.
He knew the foundation of Mortal Realm well; it was definitely not a match for Demon Land.
Never did he expect that running as a mole among the Demon Race, the Demon Ancestor would end up being himself.
This mole mission wasn’t much of a challenge; everything went too smoothly.
Only when Xiao Qing was controlled by Qing Nu did it become somewhat perilous.
Now having acknowledged the Demon Emperor as his daughter and reuniting with Zhen Li, who became very powerful, there was no longer a need to fear the Demon Race.
Therefore, Lin Yun’s approach to solve the war also changed, stating plainly that he did not want both sides to engage in battle.
Whether Mortal Realm would be thrown into chaos or not, in the end, it was still up to him to decide.
Lin Yiyi, though a warmonger, was that way because she had been drifting for too long and bored out of her mind.
Now with both the Divine Father and Mother Goddess by her side, there was no need for battles.
"I’ll listen to you."
Lin Yiyi showed her docility, slightly tilting her head up as if asking for praise.
Lin Yun obliged as she wished, stroking her head and saying, "What a good girl."
Zhen Li eyed the father and daughter interaction with a mix of amusement and irritation but held back from lashing out.
She reassured herself, it was a child from her past life after all.
If time could reverse, she’d shove that unlucky child back into the womb.
All the important matters were discussed, but Lin Yun still had some things he wanted to discuss with Zhen Li, so he spoke up, "We’ve discussed everything that needs discussing, so let’s call it a day! Yiyi, you’ve just awakened, you should go deal with the matters of the Demon Race."
Lin Yiyi realized Lin Yun wanted her to leave, though she found the excuse difficult to contest and could only woefully comply, "Oh."
"Wu Xin, Elder Hu, you should rest as well."
Hu Yuling had been a bystander the whole time and grasped Lin Yun’s intention quickly, departing without hesitation.
Wu Xin, however, seemed a bit reluctant to part with Lin Yun.
Geez, are we seeing another Stegol Demon here?
But she might just miss her father, so Lin Yun didn’t think too much of it.
Now only Zhen Li, Lin Yun, and the still sleeping Xiao Qing remained in the room.
Xiao Qing lay on the bed without stirring.
Rounding up or down, there were practically only two people in the room.
Zhen Li began to feel shy as Lin Yun’s intent to create a private atmosphere was rather obvious, and thoughts of that day on the boat came to mind.
Having been enlightened by recent live streams, she had grown and acquired much new knowledge, which could now perhaps be put to use.
Zhen Li’s mind raced, but thoughts of passion crowded her thoughts, so when Lin Yun came over and took her hand, she closed her eyes, ready to be plucked.
Lin Yun had intended to speak about serious matters, but at the sight of Zhen Li’s demeanor, he found himself at a loss.
He wasn’t a clueless boy; failing to kiss Zhen Li at this moment would be embarrassing for her.
With no other choice, Lin Yun had to save her face.
Kissing Zhen Li softly on the lips, she let out a coquettish moan, wrapping her arms around Lin Yun in response.
This reaction was beyond Lin Yun’s expectation.
The current Zhen Li was still as innocent and adorable as before, but with an added seductive charm.
The juxtaposition of purity and desire stirred Lin Yun’s senses.
However, just as he was about to set aside serious affairs to let the situation unfold, a Shocking Thunder sounded outside.
"The rain is quite heavy today."
The rain in Demon Land was blood-colored, intrinsically unsettling.
But the scene prompted Lin Yun to think of a song lyric, "The pouring red rain stirs up memories, how do they hide"...
After so many years, he was finally witnessing red rain.
"Yeah, the rain is big."
Zhen Li’s face was flushed, but she smiled.
Watching the rain with Lin Yun was not bad, after all.
"Do you know who imprisoned you?"
Lin Yun looked out at the rain and suddenly asked.
"She’s called Qing."
Zhen Li would never hide anything from Lin Yun; it was then she realized Lin Yun’s intent to stay was to discuss the Cloud Dream Marsh incident further.
She hadn’t shared much detail before and realized her earlier misunderstanding of Lin Yun’s intentions, feeling even more embarrassed.
The more Zhen Li thought about it, the more ashamed she felt, wishing she could burrow into a hole.
Lin Yun didn’t notice her bashfulness, as the name "Qing" conveyed a wealth of information to him.
To cover up her embarrassment, Zhen Li went on to explain in detail how she lived under Cloud Dream Marsh, not omitting anything, including watching Lin Yun’s live streams, which made Lin Yun feel embarrassed.
Being of high Cultivation Level certainly let one get away with things; thankfully, Qing Nu was also a goddess; otherwise, both he and Qian Qian would’ve been at a great disadvantage.
The only one at a disadvantage now was him, which wasn’t a big problem.
Combining Zhen Li’s words and the actions Qing Nu made using Xiao Qing’s body, Lin Yun connected the dots.
It was undoubtedly Qing Nu who had suppressed Zhen Li under Cloud Dream Marsh.
Perhaps "Qing" was her real name, and "Qing Nu" was simply a title others gave her.
He and Zhen Li were a couple in the past, and Qing Nu was likely the scorned party in this love triangle.
Lin Yun knew himself too well and could definitely juggle two goddesses - a real cad’s action.
Yet Qing Nu was no ordinary Divine Spirit. Lin Yun still hadn’t figured out her rank, but judging from the current information, Zhen Li in her past life was certainly Qing Nu’s equal, if not above.
Even Lin Yun himself, before losing all his powers, would have been equals with Qing Nu. According to Lin Yiyi, they were all Innate Gods.
A bold thought hit Lin Yun: "In history, perhaps it was I who first pursued Qing Nu, but in the end, I was with Zhen Li and even had a child. Out of scorned love, Qing Nu started to destroy the world, becoming the source of the disaster?"
Once this idea formed, it was hard to dismiss, becoming more plausible the more he thought about it.
Lin Yun covered his forehead.
Was this plausible?
Making wild guesses to solve cases was preposterous.
But when such intuitions kept reoccurring, they demanded belief.
This mysticism had to be heeded.
If he was right again, the ancient calamity might have unfolded differently than imagined.
Initially thinking there were secrets leading to the apocalypse, it now seemed more like the aftermath of a Shura Field.
The world ended due to his romantic dalliances—what a revelation.
Lin Yun teased himself, but it made him more cautious.
He couldn’t continue with a harem in the future.
Even if he did, he had to keep the situation under control and prevent infighting.
"Thank goodness, they all give me peace of mind."
Thinking of Fang Yu, Qian Qian, Dongfang Hongyue, and others, Lin Yun felt more at ease.
However, Lin Yun was unaware that on the vast Grassland, two factions were on the brink of conflict.
Under Lin Yu’s lead, the army of the Central Plains and the Grassland army, centered around the Snow Maiden and Qian Qian, were almost at each other’s throats.
The rain continued to fall...
