The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 872 - 378: Reasoning is All About Imagination
The Earth Scripture truly felt the terror of ignorance.
Lin Yun’s current thought is like a mortal trying to ascend to the heavens by stepping on his right foot with his left foot; he only considered the theoretical feasibility but ignored the constraints of reality.
In his heart, the Earth Scripture fiercely mocked Lin Yun, but he dared not openly ridicule him, and even had to be cautious with his choice of words, lest Lin Yun know he was laughing wildly.
Lin Yun was someone with a petty mind that he could not afford to provoke.
"In terms of scope, it broadly falls under the authority of the Heavenly Dao. The entire cosmos within the Chaos is under the surveillance of the Heavenly Dao, as are the realms created by ordinary gods. That is to say, unless you traverse the cosmos and pass through the Chaos, it is impossible to escape the monitoring of the Heavenly Dao."
After saying this, the Earth Scripture suddenly thought of the world inside Lin Yun’s body and quickly added, "Your inner world is an exception."
"Oh?"
Lin Yun was somewhat surprised that the Earth Scripture did not hide this crucial piece of information.
However, this piece of news was not of much use to him; he couldn’t exactly crawl inside his own belly, so the only method left was the one mentioned earlier.
Traversing the cosmos, passing through the Chaos.
Theoretically feasible, but the vast, boundless cosmos meant that even if Lin Yun used the Space Crossing Technique, he had no idea how long it would take to traverse.
This was quite unrealistic.
"Why can my inner world escape the monitoring of the Heavenly Dao?"
Lin Yun posed this question, which the Earth Scripture could not answer.
But as a considerate follower, he couldn’t say he didn’t know, nor could he remain silent; he had to make a random guess: "Perhaps... it’s because it is an independent world. Although you have not yet regained the status of the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, there might be precautions left inside you from before."
This guess was relatively reliable.
Lin Yun thought it over carefully and found the Earth Scripture’s explanation quite reasonable.
According to Lin Yiyi, he had not reincarnated but merely lost his powers.
It’s possible that Lin Yiyi was wrong, but if she was right, then he would have lost his memories along with his powers, and before losing these, in keeping with his character, he would certainly have prepared some precautions.
Possibly, the inner world was just one of them.
At this thought, Lin Yun’s mind suddenly sparked with inspiration.
At this moment, he thought not just about the little world inside him, but about these so-called precautions.
If he had not just crossed over two years ago but had come to this world millions of years earlier, merely having lost all his memories now, thinking he is starting over again, this wasn’t impossible.
The matters of the Canglan Divine Country were an example.
Since the Canglan Divine Country could possibly be his first stop after crossing over, why couldn’t it be from an even more distant era?
The story might even need to begin from the time of Heaven Creation.
Since he might have crossed over long ago, according to his character, it would be quite normal for him to have flirted with several girls.
Apart from this, his personality likely hadn’t changed much.
As the embodiment of steady wisdom, he would assuredly prepare safeguards.
If he was the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, his strength comparable to Qing Nu, wouldn’t he have the ability to tear destiny apart with his bare hands? Would he have done nothing back then, just letting fate decide his path?
That’s not logical.
Lin Yun entered into a hypothetical state.
He guessed the plot of others accurately and guessing his own thoughts was even easier.
First, he needed to place himself in the scenario.
"Right now, I am the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, one of the Five Innate Gods. My first wife Qing suddenly went mad, destroying the world, and my second wife Li sacrificed her life to save the world. There must be deceit!"
Lin Yun quickly entered the role; in that situation, he would definitely feel there was something seriously amiss—there must be someone plotting against him.
First, they targeted his first wife, and then they targeted his second wife. Now, he must do something that might cost him all his power. There must be some machinations behind the scenes, aiming to strip him of his power.
Who could be the culprit?
Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor!
These two were the prime suspects.
"I have my suspects, but I am not their match, and I even need their help to accomplish what I want to do. I would..."
Lin Yun immersed himself deep into his thoughts and conjured up two enemies.
Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor.
One of these two was his enemy, or perhaps, both of them were.
The situation then was that the Five Gods divided the heavens, and he had turned two out of the five into his wives, effectively forming an inseparable trio with three of the gods. How could the remaining two accept this willingly?
Who knows what tactic they used, but the most likely scenario involved them seeking external help; otherwise, how could they strike at Qing Nu at the same level?
"In a perilous situation, facing both foes alone, I would hardly stand a chance, not to mention the hidden external enemy. But not necessarily both of these individuals are insider traitors, perhaps the insider traitor also had reservations and didn’t expose themselves directly. So, in that case, I could only feign death to escape!"
At this point in his conjecture, Lin Yun suddenly realized.
Why, despite not encountering a powerful enemy, did the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit just vanish like that?
Lin Yiyi’s explanation was that sending Zhen Li into reincarnation exhausted too much of his energy.
Now, it seemed there was a discrepancy in this claim.
An Innate God, capable of creating worlds, with reincarnation already established—could he lose all his power just from sending another god of the same realm into reincarnation?
That’s illogical.
This reason could deceive Lin Yiyi, but it certainly wouldn’t fool the likes of Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor and Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood; even if they believed it, they would definitely verify it thoroughly.
Lin Yun snapped out of his immersive conjecture and began to analyze calmly.
First, how many insider traitors there were.
At that time, he likely didn’t know and suspected both were insider traitors, but now it seems, there should be only one.
Otherwise, the current structure of the heavens and the earth would not be the way it is.
Perhaps, the final scenario after his feigned death is that the insider traitor finally exposed themselves, but the one who wasn’t an insider traitor was not easy to deal with either, resulting in a stalemate from their maneuvers?
That’s not right either; since his feigned death was to seek out a safeguard, he would have been observing secretly, so at that time, he would have teamed up with the one who wasn’t an insider traitor to defeat the insider traitor, but in the end, both sides were left badly injured?
Lin Yun rubbed his head. After imaginative conjecture followed by analysis, he felt he was gradually nearing the truth.
That battle should not have concluded; killing an Innate God is very challenging, even for two gods combined, especially since the insider traitor had external support.
Back then, they repelled the insider traitor, but the traitor wasn’t deterred and has now resurfaced.
A familiar opening move, starting from Qing Nu, then what he must confront next... is Zhen Li!
