The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 889 - 395: The End of Time

Images of meeting Wang Wanqiu surfaced, one by one, in his mind.

And with each passing image, Lin Yun found that he had lost something.

Every moment, he was forgetting, what he saw now seemed like a reminiscence.

After reminiscing, from then on, he would bid farewell to these memories forever.

From the first meeting, to devising the assassination plot together, to fleeing together, then parting ways at Guanghan Palace, reuniting with Sword Sect, to the long-awaited reunion at the Southern Border.

The bits and pieces he experienced with Wang Wanqiu, vanished like smoke in the wind.

Lin Yun felt sorrowful.

Another person emerged in his mind.

"Brother Lin, do you want to eat grapes?"

"..."

The next to disappear was Zhao Lingyu.

Lin Yun immediately felt a pang of panic; he had already lost too much of his memory, and all he could do was to firmly protect the people he cared about.

When exactly would this time reversal come to an end...?

Lin Yun mobilized all of his Divine Sense; he felt the dissipation of his memories indeed slow down somewhat, but it did not completely stop.

Eventually, the thing Lin Yun feared the most happened.

"Thousand Hands and Eyes, boundless magical power..."

"Qian Qian..."

Lin Yun’s heart filled with grief.

Although Qian Qian appeared last, his feelings for her were indeed genuine, that proud and adorable goddess...

"I must not forget!"

Lin Yun kept muttering in his heart: "Qian Qian, Qian Qian."

But soon enough, another person appeared.

"My name is Bai Jiaojiao, I don’t want to strive anymore."

"..."

The Mysterious Ancient Sword, carrying Lin Yun in a temporal reverse flow, with the erosion of time, Lin Yun gradually dwindled down to a fiery silhouette, chanting names incessantly within the miniature sun.

Even if he forgot why he recited some names, he remained determined to remember them.

"Qian Qian, Bai Jiaojiao, Flower Fairy, Fang Yu, Lin Yu..."

In the continuous erosion, at the end of time’s long river, Lin Yun had finally reached the end.

His heart suddenly surged with excitement upon seeing this end.

He had finally seen the glimmer of hope.

He knew he had forgotten many people, but he would remember their names.

"As long as I’m alive, I will find my memories!"

Lin Yun made up his mind, and at that moment, a woman in a big red robe appeared in his mind.

"Hong Yue... No, this is the last one, I’m about to reach the end, hold on!"

Lin Yun watched as his spiritual light sphere shrank from the size of a basketball down to that of a ping pong ball; he had already lost so much, now all that was left was one person.

He could not afford to lose any more.

He must hold on!

"Insolent disciple! How dare you defy your master!"

"I just happened to visit you, I didn’t mean to."

"How can that be in the woods... Just this once, not to be repeated!"

"..."

The Ancient Sword was still flying, the erosion of time continued, and even with Lin Yun’s utmost effort, the spiritual light sphere continued to shrink from the size of a ping pong ball to that of a pearl.

"Hong Yue, I cannot forget! The end is near!"

Under Lin Yun’s anticipatory gaze, the Ancient Sword finally came to a halt and plunged into the river of time.

"We’ve finally arrived, Hong Yue, it’s over!"

Lin Yun spoke with exhilaration.

But he quickly became perplexed again.

"Hong Yue, who is that?"

Lin Yun looked at his empty body, now just a fire, and felt an inexplicable sorrow.

So sad, so heart wrenching.

"Qian Qian, Bai Jiaojiao, Snow Maiden... Hong Yue... Who are you all?"

Lin Yun didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that the names he kept reciting, he must not forget.

In the universe, there was nothing but emptiness.

Yet, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that there was another consciousness within his body.

"Who are you?"

"Qing."

"Is that your name?"

"I don’t know, I only remember two names, Qing and Yun. What about you?"

"I..."

Lin Yun tried hard to remember, he remembered many names but forgot who he was.

"I don’t know who I am."

"Then, I’ll share with you one of the names I remember."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Although I’ve forgotten many things, I know that you are the person closest to me."

"I feel the same way."

Lin Yun felt that the name Yun was missing something, but couldn’t quite put his finger on it, just as Qing was also missing something.

But Qing was right, he felt very close to the other person.

Although their attributes were completely opposite, they didn’t feel any conflict. On the contrary, they felt very harmonious with each other, as if they wanted to stick together all the time, and their powers were continuously flowing towards each other, growing ever stronger.

Time had lost its meaning at this moment, only a red and a blue sphere continued to swirl around each other.

It wasn’t just water and fire; they were Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang beget each other, water and fire complement each other; both were rapidly expanding.

"I suddenly feel that just the two of us is too monotonous."

Lin Yun was aware that there was a vast amount of energy outside their spheres; every day as they spiraled, they absorbed those energies, transforming them into their own power.

He didn’t know why he did it; it just seemed to be an instinct.

Besides constantly exchanging power with Qing, he always recited a long list of names in his heart.

He was afraid that he would forget, so he kept repeating them.

Over time, he finally felt that the world was a bit boring.

Qing, however, did not quite understand.

She always felt quite happy, but since she didn’t understand many things, she simply inquired, "Then what do you want?"

"I think we need to create new things."

Lin Yun felt this world was only darkness, with just him and Qing, water and fire, Yin and Yang; it was too dull and needed something created.

"How should we create?"

Qing, like a curious baby, wanted to ask about everything, and Lin Yun was responsible for answering.

"We need a foundation."

Lin Yun thought of how he and Qing were both suspended in the void, surrounded by Chaos; they kept absorbing the Chaotic Power - he didn’t know why it was called Chaos, but when he thought about it, it just naturally had an answer.

Just like now, as soon as he thought of needing a foundation, he thought of earth.

Where does earth come from?

As Lin Yun absorbed the Chaotic Power, he found that it could transform into five different types of forces.

One of them was earth.

Thus, the first piece of soil emerged, exhibiting five colors, with the red, blue, and yellow that Lin Yun had seen before, and now additionally green and white.

Qing was somewhat displeased with the appearance of this first piece of soil, but seeing Lin Yun’s enthusiasm, she had no choice but to help him absorb the Chaos Qi and transform it into soil.

At the same time, she and Lin Yun continued to expand.

Within the Chaos, time is still a foreign concept, but regardless, she and Lin Yun expanded to an unknown immense size. With their joint efforts, the colorful stones grew gradually as well.

The three were still closely linked together, with Lin Yun in the center, with water and earth enveloping him.

Together, they formed a sphere. From the outside, ninety percent was the blue water and twenty percent was the colorful earth.

Within the colorful soil, a consciousness was born.

Lin Yun was very happy, while Qing felt a sense of crisis, though she did not think too much about it.

Lin Yun named this newly born consciousness Li.

Because he and Qing both had single-character names, he didn’t know why he chose Li, it was just an inspiration that flashed through his mind.

With the birth of the soil, Lin Yun suddenly realized something.

These thoughts that he shouldn’t be having could be hints given by his own spirituality.

He knew he had forgotten many things, a fact he constantly reminded himself of; therefore, while continuously expanding in power, he was also seeking change.

He must do something to retrieve his lost memories.

And naming Li made Lin Yun realize this point.

Lin Yun also became joyful. He was determined to find what he had lost.

Time marched on, and Lin Yun and Qing began to teach Li how to absorb the power of Chaos. Lin Yun also put forward the concept of relationships for the first time.

"From now on, let’s address each other as siblings!"

Lin Yun thought Qing would be the first to agree since she had always followed his word from the beginning.

This time, however, Qing raised an objection.

"No, I want to be the elder sister."

"?"

Lin Yun had never mentioned the concept of siblings to Qing, but at this moment, she naturally understood.

She wanted to be the elder sister.

Lin Yun didn’t mind too much. If elder sister she wanted to be, then so be it. Qing had always been obedient, so it was no trouble to let her have her way this once.

And so, the ranking of water, fire, and earth was set.

The three most primal forces continued to expand. They never thought of stopping, only to keep absorbing the power of Chaos and transforming it into their own.

From the initial tiny sun to now, it might have grown a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold, as large as a great sun.

Lin Yun felt it was monotonous. Since Chaos could differentiate into five forces, why had they only produced three?

Although there was no concept of time, Lin Yun knew that a long time had passed.

He decided to develop the remaining two forces; thus, the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood was born, growing from the soil, different from water, fire, and earth, which expanded outward together, maintaining a spherical shape, while the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood grew relentlessly upwards, burrowing into the Chaos to draw nourishment.

Within the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, the essences of water, fire, and earth all sensed the breath of life.

Upon the birth of the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, it possessed spirituality, so Lin Yun named her Qing.

At this time, Lin Yun vaguely started to feel something.

It seemed...

He was following a predetermined trajectory in doing things, whether naming someone or producing earth and wood.

Qing automatically became the Fourth Elder, and thus water, fire, earth, and wood entered a new round of expansion.

It was also at this time that Lin Yun successfully transformed his shape.

He took on a human form, emerging from the heart of the earth.

Upon seeing Lin Yun become human, Qing also wanted to mimic him, but for some reason, when she transformed into a human, she had a long tail trailing behind her.

"How can this be?"

Qing was so anxious she was about to cry, but Lin Yun quickly reassured her: "Don’t worry, I actually think you look the prettiest this way."

"Really?"

With Lin Yun’s consolation, Qing finally cheered up.

Having Lin Yun as a reference, Li and Lin both successfully transformed.

However, Lin Yun was in human form; Li and Lin both transformed based on his appearance, but turned into girls.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but scratch his head, feeling that something was not quite right...

But anyway, it doesn’t matter, let’s continue and bring out the last one!

Gold took the longest time to condense, being a coalescence of the combined forces of water, fire, earth, and wood.

Before her birth, they had already started a heated discussion.

Earth and wood were looking forward to the appearance of a youngest sibling so that they could be elder sisters; they believed being an elder sister was the most joyful thing, being able to stay close to Brother Yun, and having their younger siblings obey them.

So, before the birth of the fifth elder, they started preparing gifts, with Lin Yun having a moment of inspiration: "Let’s each condense a bit of our Origin Divine Power to give to the fifth elder, maybe by combining our four powers, the fifth can become the strongest one!"

"How strong would that be?"

"Hmm, a Heavenly Emperor?"

A term suddenly popped into Lin Yun’s mind, and right after saying it, he quickly added: "The fifth has the potential of a Heavenly Emperor!"

"What’s a Heavenly Emperor?"

The sisters became curious.

Lin Yun scratched his head; he didn’t know what it was, supposedly something that just popped up in his mind randomly.

However, what he most wanted to know, about Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yu, Qian Qian...

Etcetera, etcetera, he knew absolutely nothing about those.

"Anyway, let’s get started!"

Lin Yun skillfully changed the subject, the three naïve little white flowers were naturally easily bamboozled by Lin Yun. They stopped asking about what a Heavenly Emperor was and began using their origin to create gifts for the not-yet-born fifth elder.

Finally, a jade pendant was created that way.

Although the fifth elder had not yet been born, the four of them could already utilize her Origin Power.

With everyone’s collective efforts, a beautifully crafted Yu Jue took shape in Lin Yun’s hands, and the power of the Five Elements melded together seamlessly.

"This... feels kind of formidable."

Lin Yun looked at the jade pendant, feeling inspired again.

Because the pendant originally did not have Chaos Qi infused into it, but after taking shape, it naturally contained Chaos Qi, which kept regenerating.

In this jade pendant, Lin Yun saw Chaos transforming into the Five Elements, and also witnessed the Five Elements transforming into Chaos; it turns out that Chaos transforming into Five Elements is not a one-way conversion!

Lin Yun suddenly felt very inspired; he had a hunch that with this jade pendant, the fifth just needed to contemplate properly, and she would surely achieve something significant.

Not long after the jade pendant took shape, the fifth elder appeared; she too popped out from the earth and was able to transform immediately after being born.

It was another girl.

Earth and wood were very disappointed; every time they saw Lin Yun calling Qing ’Sister Qing’ and Qing called Lin Yun ’Brother,’ they felt envious.

They wanted a younger brother too, but alas, another sister arrived.

It wasn’t too big of a deal though – a younger sister is still nice, and they were a loving family.

However, the fifth elder was different from her elder brothers and sisters.

When the elder brothers and sisters transformed, they all came with their own clothing; Lin Yun wore red clothes, Qing’s skin had green scales that extended up to her chest, Earth wore a bright yellow skirt, and Wood had leaves covering the crucial areas.

Only Tai Bai was born stark naked.

Lin Yun’s eyes scanned her transparently in the blink of an eye, glancing downward for a moment before quickly looking away.

"How about we call you Tai Bai?"

Huh?

Is that how Tai Bai got her name?
