The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 894 - 400: Destruction or Submission
Lin Yun could tell at a glance that Tai Bai was lying. Seeing her flushed face and evasive eyes, it was obvious she had been up to something guilty, possibly even when he was on his way here, engaged in misdeeds.
Of course, it might not necessarily have been something bad, perhaps just something she was too embarrassed to let him know about?
Observing her guilty demeanor stirred Lin Yun’s interest, and he surveyed his surroundings. Eventually, his gaze settled firmly on the hilt of the Mysterious Ancient Sword in Tai Bai’s hand.
Hmm?
Why does it look a bit moist?
"This sword..."
Lin Yun inquired in a soft tone, and Tai Bai immediately hid the sword behind her back.
Although she wanted to destroy the sword, she had seen some things today that she shouldn’t have seen, which made her feel guilty. If Lin Yun were to touch the sword and see those embarrassing scenes, she would be utterly ashamed to face anyone.
"It’s nothing, just something I picked up in the river."
"This sword looks quite interesting, may I have a look?"
Lin Yun always felt that this sword was somehow related to him. It seemed familiar, yet he was certain that he had never seen such a sword before.
Could it be that this is also part of the memories he had lost?
With this thought, Lin Yun was even more eager to take a good look at the sword, but Tai Bai declined, "It’s just a broken sword, nothing worth looking at."
"Hmm?"
Tai Bai’s unusual behavior naturally aroused Lin Yun’s suspicions. Now he was determined to see the sword.
"I’m just curious, Xiao Wu, let me have a look."
Lin Yun reached out to grab the sword from Tai Bai’s hand, and Tai Bai panicked, thinking of destroying the Ancient Sword. After all, even if it were shattered, she would still be able to see the sword tomorrow.
However, Lin Yun was much stronger than her, and his move was quite mysterious. As Tai Bai was preparing to resist, seeing Lin Yun’s hand still in front of her, the sword was already taken away by Lin Yun.
"Give it back to me now!"
Tai Bai hurriedly lunged at Lin Yun, but by this time, Lin Yun had already stood firm, gripping the Mysterious Ancient Sword tightly.
This was exactly the same reaction Tai Bai would have when seeing visions of the future, and she felt suddenly powerless, dropping her hands.
It was over, she hadn’t managed to prevent Lin Yun from examining the precious sword, and now that Lin Yun had started, any further interference would be pointless. All she could hope for was that Lin Yun wouldn’t see what had happened between her and him.
That would be too embarrassing!
Wait, why is he standing motionless for so long?
Tai Bai was experienced; the premonitions given by the Mysterious Ancient Sword were usually just the simplest of images, quickly observed in just a few breaths’ time. However, Lin Yun had stood there for quite some time without coming back to his senses.
What is he experiencing?
Tai Bai did not know that when Lin Yun grabbed the Ancient Sword, his heart had also started to beat in unison.
In his mind, scene after scene unfolded before his eyes, and those names he had kept in his heart but could not match with faces finally found their targets.
"It’s back, I feel it all coming back."
Looking at those reclaimed memories, Lin Yun smiled through his tears for the first time. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The days without his memories were painful and hard to endure, but he never gave up and always kept those names etched in his heart.
Now, those people have finally returned.
"Brother, are you okay...?"
Tai Bai was a little nervous.
Ever since Lin Yun got the sword, he has been acting very strangely.
First, his brows furrowed, followed by a face of ecstasy. After his ecstasy, he suddenly burst into tears, and after the tears, his face turned bitterly pained.
This...
The child was scared witless.
Ever since his birth, Tai Bai had never seen Lin Yun display such a range of emotions. Most of the time, Lin Yun was calm, with a lazy smile that made people feel warm.
At times, Lin Yun would appear melancholic, not knowing what he was thinking about. Anyway, seeing him harboring a secret worry made the sisters’ hearts melt. They did not know what Lin Yun had encountered but tried their best to cheer him up in their own ways.
However, they rarely saw Lin Yun in an emotional outburst. Today, Tai Bai finally witnessed it.
It was a bit frightening.
Out of concern for her brother, she still stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Yun looked at Tai Bai with a very complex expression.
"What’s wrong?"
Tai Bai felt uneasy under Lin Yun’s gaze and felt weak in the knees when she thought of the future scenes.
Lin Yun sighed and shook his head, holding the sword and said, "This sword is indeed quite interesting; it seems to contain another kind of Great Dao. Xiao Wu, how about I borrow it for a while? I’ll return it to you later!"
Tai Bai was internally reluctant, but seeing the earnest and somewhat pleading look in Lin Yun’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
She could only nod and said, "If you need it, brother, take it!"
Even though the sword was mysterious and peculiar, in Tai Bai’s heart, nothing was more important than family. Although she felt jealous and complained and was a little uneasy because of the scenes she had witnessed, she still did not change her mind.
Lin Yun nodded when he heard her agree and said, "Then I’ll be leaving now."
Originally, he had intended to find out if his recently-strange sister was troubled by something, but now, he was the one overwhelmed with concerns.
The memories he had lost, all came flooding back to him, including the intimate scenes with his loved ones. Nothing was missed, everything returned.
Such an experience of losing and regaining made Lin Yun even more joyful, but he had to consider a problem now.
Should he follow the will of time and space and act normally, or should he bravely break the existing time and space?
When Lin Yun had such a thought, his mind also filled with information about breaking time and space.
The cost of altering time and space is the destruction of time and space, the collapse of existence; there will be no pure land left in the world, and no human or God would be able to survive in such time and space.
In terms of space alone, every God has a say. Such matters are too simple; with a mere thought, one can traverse through space.
But time is different, traveling through time is difficult, and changing the timeline is even harder.
Most of the Divine Spirits can’t even sense the long river of time, let alone traverse time and space.
And now, Lin Yun is not just traversing time and space; he is carrying the memories of the future, becoming a part of time and space.
However, the time and space he is currently in is not the "present" but the "past."
Before, when he had no memories, he didn’t know anything and unwittingly completed the transitions of history.
Now, because he has touched the Mysterious Ancient Sword and the memories washed by time and space have all restored, Lin Yun is at a loss for what to do next.
If he chooses to use his foreknowledge to change history, time and space will shatter, and everything within them will turn to nothingness. But if he does nothing, he will witness Qing Nu destroying the world, Zhen Li’s cycle of reincarnation, Jianmu’s death...
Until at last, he is exiled again by Tai Bai to the ends of time and repeatedly goes through cycles of reincarnation.
"This damned destiny..."
