The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 890 - 396: He is Not an Insider Traitor

"At the dawn of ancient times, before Chaos divided, Yin and Yang came into being, and the Five Elements were formed. The opening of Heaven and Earth spread the stars about..."

"Brother Yun, what are you doing?"

Lin Yun was carving characters when Tai Bai suddenly leaned in, startling him enough that his hand trembled.

"Nothing much, just randomly writing something."

"Oh? What is all this?"

Tai Bai did not recognize the characters.

It should be said that the Innate Gods do not recognize characters; after all, language and writing were born from the demands of a continuously developing civilization. At this time, with only the five of them as Innate Gods, naturally, writing and language would not have evolved successfully.

However, their situation was clearly abnormal.

"Think of it as a diary!"

Lin Yun was certain there was something unusual about himself, like this innate ability he possessed. It was because of this sense of irregularity that he wanted to record everything he had done, thinking that it might be of use one day.

However, originally planning to use a diary format, Lin Yun suddenly had an idea and decided to change his way of expression.

By describing past events from a third-person objective perspective, it would not be identified as a diary, how clever I am.

"What’s a diary?"

Tai Bai was like a curious baby, intrigued by everything.

She was the last born of the gods, adored by every sister, and she was the most lively and lovely.

"A diary is where you record a little about what happens each day."

Now, the concept of time had emerged.

Because Lin Yun found a reference point.

Since the birth of Tai Bai, Lin Yun led his sisters in creating the stars.

The myriad of stars, all moving according to certain laws, provided Lin Yun with a means to measure time.

He, along with Qing and Li, used a part of their original essence to create a planet where all five of them lived; its core was fire, the surface composed of water and earth.

Outside the planet, Lin Yun created a sun using pure fire.

Qing, in turn, created a small star with water at its core and gathered soil—it was named the moon by Lin Yun.

Thus, aside from cultivating, the sisters became obsessed with making stars.

Moreover, all of them revolved around the sun that Lin Yun had made.

As the eldest, Qing was naturally the closest to the sun. She named her star Mercury.

Next in order of seniority, it should have been Lin Yun’s turn to create a star, but Tai Bai disagreed, wishing to be closer to Lin Yun. After her cajoling and acting cute, she was allowed to go second, naming the star Venus.

The five gods had long since discovered that a star that was too large would exert a gravitational force, so the stars they created had to maintain a certain distance from one another.

Their dwelling happened to be in the third position, so if Lin Yun were to create another star right there, it would have affected their homeland. He had to resort to the next possible location to create Mars.

Next, it should have been the turn of the third eldest, but the fourth in line disagreed and stealthily took her sister’s place. Li, who never liked to compete, simply let her be.

Afterward, the five great gods were engrossed in making stars, and the night sky gradually lit up with the works of these idle gods.

The thing Lin Yun enjoyed most became stargazing instead of cultivating.

And so, the sisters became even more enthusiastic about creating stars.

Unknown to them, the more they did this, the more Lin Yun felt a sense of dissonance.

"Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars... This arrangement seems so familiar. Eh, what’s Earth?"

Lin Yun thought about it and felt puzzled. He had named their home the Great Wilderness because he felt it was too barren.

Why did the name Earth suddenly pop into his mind?

It was precisely because of these strange discrepancies that Lin Yun resolved to keep a diary.

The curious baby Tai Bai, after hearing Lin Yun’s description, said earnestly despite not fully understanding: "I want to keep a diary too!"

And so...

The popular trend among the sisters changed again.

They started to learn writing from Lin Yun and then began to keep diaries.

Qing’s diary: Ah Yun calls me sister, I’m so happy.

Li’s diary: Brother Yun is spacing out again, he seems a bit unhappy, I really want to know why he’s upset.

Lin’s diary: If I keep growing like this, will I end up piercing through Chaos?

Tai Bai’s diary: It’s truly joyous being together with sisters, we’ll always be a family.

...

The future space-time.

Tai Bai drifted alone in the starry sky, gazing at the myriad of stars, memories surged in her heart.

Suddenly, she turned back and arrived at Venus.

This was the first star she created, named after herself, with nothing on it, but with a wave of her hand, a scroll of golden scripture appeared in her grasp.

It was her diary.

"...We will always be a family."

As she looked at the words she had written before, a faint light flickered in Tai Bai’s eyes.

Before her sword pierced Lin Yun, she was convinced that Lin Yun was the insider traitor.

The Sword of Time and Space couldn’t be dodged, and Tai Bai didn’t want to use it unless necessary, because once it was used, there was no chance for Lin Yun to survive.

Even though she felt that Lin Yun might be the insider traitor, Tai Bai didn’t want to kill him.

But Lin Yun had forced her to play her last hand, this was her only move left.

By severing Lin Yun’s connection with the future, he would forever remain at the moment when the sword pierced him, and then, she could reach back from the future, delve into the fleeting past, and extract Lin Yun’s Water-Fire Origin.

At that time, Lin Yun would no longer have any interaction with anyone else, his future would be severed, so extracting Lin Yun’s Water-Fire Origin from the future to the past would not cause any space-time fluctuations.

Tai Bai’s consideration was entirely correct, however, when the sword stabbed Lin Yun, she indeed cut off Lin Yun’s future, but the Ancient Sword in her hand started to reverse time with Lin Yun.

Even Tai Bai, who had realized the essence of the Great Dao of Time, dared not do this.

Time washes everything away, and the more one traces back, the more dangerous it is; no matter how high one’s Cultivation Level is, it cannot withstand time.

In haste, Tai Bai only managed to extract part of Lin Yun’s origin, and it was at that moment she realized that Lin Yun’s origin was not the origin of fire, but the Power of the Sun.

It was then she understood the meaning behind Lin Yun’s words from the past.

With the existence of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements come into being.

She had always thought that the five of them were on the same level, with only minor differences in strength.

But only after acquiring part of Lin Yun’s origin did she realize that Lin Yun was not just fire, but also Yang, and Qing Nu was not just water, but also Yin.

Yin and Yang Give Birth to the Five Elements. They were both beyond one level, existing between the Innate Gods and the Innate Chaotic Divine Spirits.

Which is to say, from the beginning, Lin Yun was not on equal footing with her, but completely overwhelming.

If Lin Yun really had any plans, after Qing Nu was sealed, he could have carried them out, as the three combined Gods were no match for Lin Yun alone.

Even if Qing Nu wasn’t sealed, given her feelings towards Lin Yun, she would likely support whatever Lin Yun wanted to do.

In that case, Lin Yun couldn’t possibly be the insider traitor.

"What on earth have I done..."
