The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 858 - 364: Why Aren’t You Smiling?

The Earth Scripture did not wish to bolster others’ ambitions and diminish its own prestige; it simply understood that recognizing the times makes one a wise man. When faced with an insurmountable adversary, one must decisively flee – this is the survival rule of the current age.

Anyone who refused to accept this would not meet a good end; there were all too many warning examples before us.

The Earth Scripture had lived for countless tens of thousands of years, at least longer than Dongfang Yao. Its experiences were far richer, and it knew crystal clear who it could provoke and who it could not.

Moreover, it was particularly accurate in judging people. Knowing that it was impossible to gain any advantage from Lin Yun, no matter the cost, it had accepted its fate just to extricate itself from Lin Yun’s Dantian.

It should never have been fooled into entering in the first place.

Now it was too late for regret. In any case, it should not think about troubling Lin Yun any longer.

If Dongfang Yao refused to listen to advice, then the Earth Scripture would resolutely abandon him, treating it as another failed investment.

Dongfang Yao knew who the big shot the Earth Scripture did not dare to name was, but while he knew she was formidable, he did not realize she was mighty enough to tear apart destiny.

"I can’t believe it, nor can I accept it. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? A hundred thousand years, a hundred thousand years!"

Dongfang Yao’s mentality had already collapsed.

"From the high and mighty Sun God, I’ve become a Lord Yama hiding in the Netherworld Realm. Do you know how much pain I’ve suffered over these years?"

"Then why did you choose to hide? During the Twilight Era of the Gods, no one had the power to kill you, right?"

The Earth Scripture did not know everything, especially during the Twilight Era of the Gods, where it had suffered a fatal injury. The cycle of reincarnation shattered, and it too was torn apart. Carrying the pregnant Lord of the Netherworld, they were dragged together to the realm of the six paths of reincarnation, leaving no one capable of restoring it.

The original power of the Earth Scripture was enough to record everything, yet the most critical part was missing.

The Earth Scripture found it strange; this coincidence seemed a little too convenient, almost as if "arranged."

And the one who most enjoyed orchestrating events from behind the scenes was none other than Elder Brother Heavenly Book.

The Earth Scripture also found it puzzling that the Heavenly Book, which once governed the fate of all living beings without any consciousness, unexpectedly developed consciousness and then provoked Qing Nu, who tore it apart.

Qing Nu divided the Earth Scripture into two parts: one was the Heavenly Book Fragment, and the other was destiny.

The spirit of the Heavenly Book resided in the fragments, while destiny reverted to an unconscious state.

The Earth Scripture guessed that the reason why Qing Nu did not annihilate the spirit of the Heavenly Book was to prevent a new consciousness from being born within destiny.

But now it seemed that destiny had indeed given birth to a new consciousness, and it was uncertain whether it was connected to the old one. In any case, this was a terrifying matter.

The Earth Scripture was worried but could not directly ask, so it could only fish for information from Dongfang Yao.

Dongfang Yao did not have much fear of the Earth Scripture and spoke honestly: "During the Twilight Era of the Gods, I was also unrivaled. But the enemy came from the Outer Realm."

"The Outer Realm?"

The Earth Scripture suddenly grew interested; its records were limited to this world, but it was aware of what the Outer Realm entailed. It was the remnants of the original world, scattered around this world.

As Mother Earth used her body to coalesce the New World, those world fragments would also slowly converge towards this world, and one day, this world would return to the grandeur of the old world.

In theory, this was correct, but in reality, the world was getting smaller and smaller.

The Earth Scripture also knew the reason why not a single fragment from other worlds had attached itself; instead, Demon Land was being pulled in. The original world had suddenly lost three-quarters of its territory.

These territories had been devoured by Demon Land, and this world became one with Demon Land.

Demon Land had not grown larger, but this world had shrunk.

Upon reflecting on this aspect, the Earth Scripture felt a shiver.

It seemed to have touched upon some secrets that it should not have known.

Afraid to continue thinking in this direction, it quickly changed the subject: "What did you encounter in the Outer Realm?"

"A jade pendant."

Dongfang Yao sighed and said, "Because of that jade pendant, I learned many hidden secrets, but I also inadvertently provoked her. A deluge descended from heaven, and I witnessed the calamity of my demise."

"It was at that moment that destiny appeared, right?"

The Earth Scripture did not need to hear it from Dongfang Yao to guess the gist of what happened next.

Dongfang Yao certainly had things he concealed, such as what the jade pendant was, what secrets he discovered, and specifically how he provoked Qing Nu. In short, that was the result, and then, with the help of destiny, he faked his death and hid in the Netherworld Realm.

It just so happened that the former Lord of the Netherworld had died outside the cycles of reincarnation, and with the Netherworld Realm lacking a master, Dongfang Yao, with the might of the foremost Divine Emperor, was more than capable of conquering the Netherworld.

The Earth Scripture couldn’t help but feel speechless about what he might have been plotting these years.

It could see at a glance that Dongfang Yao had been calculated by destiny and was even counting someone else’s money!

But the Earth Scripture wanted to deceive this simple-minded but lucky god.

"Actually, you don’t need to be too sad. Your failure now isn’t your fault; it’s that Lin Yun’s fortune is sky-high, he’s just too unreasonable."

The Earth Scripture’s consolation made Dongfang Yao feel slightly better, but he still grumbled, "I am not reconciled!"

"Don’t think too much about it. Although you’ve prepared for more than a hundred thousand years and got nothing in return, at least you’ve preserved your life. As long as the green hills last, there will always be wood to burn. I know someone who is even worse off than you."

"Someone worse off?"

Dongfang Yao did not believe it; nobody could be more miserable than him!

To comfort Dongfang Yao, the Earth Scripture went all out, unfolding itself and reciting the newly refreshed text.

Events that occur on this land, unless deliberately hidden from the divine vision by a great being, are all recorded in the Earth Scripture.

"You know this person too, named Su’e, who also prepared for many years, plotting something. She was about to succeed, but then an accident occurred. Not only did her scheming completely fail, but she also lost her Divine Power.

It’s funny when you think about it. She possessed Lin Yun’s woman’s body, and it just so happened that Lin Yun and his woman were in the midst of a life and death cultivation. She ended up giving herself away for free, losing both her body and Divine Power. Isn’t that more tragic than you?"

When talking about Su’e’s incident, the Earth Scripture even laughed to lighten the mood.

The Earth Scripture’s record did not reveal what Su’e was plotting, and as usual, treasures related to Lin Yun remained undisclosed.

The point was that Su’e’s effort was utterly in vain.

Hopefully, this could comfort Dongfang Yao, right?

Moreover, it seemed that Dongfang Yao and Su’e didn’t get along before, always at loggerheads. Now seeing his adversary down on luck, wouldn’t that make him even happier?

The Earth Scripture thought its prediction should be on point, but seeing that Dongfang Yao did not laugh, it felt puzzled.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t this funny?"
