You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 857 - 232: After the Endless Night, Dawn at Last

The snowstorm was vast.

Above Liuxue Mountain, after the terrifying Old One descended, unlike the helpless despair of the Second Prince and others, Xiahou Shou was ecstatic.

"Hahaha..."

At this moment, Xiahou Shou couldn't help but laugh wildly.

The aspiration buried in his heart for over a thousand years was about to be fulfilled, the destruction of the Eternal Night Clan was within reach, and he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

"Great Old One..."

Xiahou Shou immediately flew towards the majestic Old One, his attitude extremely respectful.

He was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure appearing out of thin air in front of him.

"Old One, what are you here for?"

The calm and indifferent tone seemed to regard the other as a figure of the same level, without any ripple, even with a hint of questioning?

Xiahou Shou was about to strike when he felt an invisible force suddenly emerge, an irresistible power instantly detached his right arm.

The hand that belonged to the Old One no longer possessed its former terror, instead, without a hint of resistance, it quietly flew towards the Old One.

"No..." Xiahou Shou trembled all over, yet he couldn't move a single bit.

At this moment, the heart that was originally full of ecstasy completely cooled, and he realized what this scene before him truly represented.

He saw that the arm flew to the front of the Old One, merging into the dark and chaotic flames, and the Old One also moved the shoulder slightly, as if adapting to this once-lost arm.

Then, the Old One spoke: "Other Shore, haven't you also come to Eternal Night?"

"I came because you were coming."

Lin Yue said lightly: "It seems you're not quite convinced with our original bet, so let's bet again. I also allow you to restore your body; if you lose this time, you must obediently inherit the Divine Position of the Primordial and fulfill your responsibilities."

The people around were stunned at the words they heard.

This Old One actually addressed Lin Yue as 'Other Shore'?

The Lord of the Other Shore?!

The Second Prince was surprised, but not too incredulous either.

After all, the couple Xiahong Feng merely tried to bring forth an Ancient Human through pregnancy and then, even under such arduous conditions, managed to use the Ultimate Path to prove and transcend.

The probability of such a thing happening is exceedingly small!

But if it were the Lord of the Other Shore himself coming out, then it would make sense.

So, because the Old One wanted to come, the Lord of the Other Shore came to Eternal Night?

Rumor has it the Lord of the Other Shore is the most transcendent among the three sons of the Primordial, and even forged the Other Shore Heavenly Bell, an ultimate divine artifact, virtually omniscient, so the other two sons of the Primordial are no match for him.

A nearly omniscient existence could predict the Old One's arrival in Eternal Night, which is understandable.

And the Old One remained silent.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. I expected you might calculate my plan, but I didn't foresee you'd risk entering the game personally to stop me."

"Of course, I'm going to stop you."

Lin Yue said indifferently: "According to the bet, you and Yanfu have long lost to me, and in your duel with each other, you'll eventually lose too. Are you thinking of breaking the promise?"

"I'm not thinking of breaking the promise." The Old One said in a low voice: "I admit... I'm not as good as you, and would ultimately lose to Yanfu, but I don't want to inherit the Divine Position of the Primordial, lose myself, just to open up the heavens and become the so-called rule."

"Human Clan, indeed so."

Lin Yue nodded calmly: "The last Primordial created the Human Clan, cultivated the Human Clan as the son of Primordial, but probably didn't expect that the human heart would be so complex, and you, as a son of Primordial, actually refuse to inherit its Divine Position, unwilling to lose yourself."

"Aren't you all the same?" The Old One said solemnly: "Are you and Yanfu willing?"

"But you lost."

Lin Yue said somewhat mockingly: "The dignified Old One, planning to play tricks like a mortal child?"

Seeing the Old One's silence, he said coldly: "The world has an end time; the burden of the Ancient Times on this world is heavy, you know that well. If you don't want the world to completely collapse, you must renew the heavens and earth. Are you planning to let everything perish with you?"

"I didn't think that way."

The Old One said in a low voice: "I just want to prolong Eternal Night a little longer, and before the world reaches its end, I'll try to cultivate a new son of the Primordial."

"And then let him replace you?" Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow, "How can you be sure he would be willing?"

"I will naturally make preparations."

The Old One slowly said: "This isn't within the scope of the bet, are you and Yanfu going to stop me too?"

"The longer Eternal Night drags on, the greater the harm to the world." Lin Yue said coldly: "Moreover, even if in this well-complete world of Eternal Night there might exist an entity that proves and transcends using the Ultimate Path, but as of now, the world's laws have become increasingly obscure, mastering the Ultimate Path is now a thousand times more difficult than before!"

He stared at the Old One, slowly saying: "How many years did the Ancient Times last? How many tens of thousands of years have passed since the descent of Eternal Night? In such a short time, wanting to produce a new son of the Primordial is nearly impossible."

The Old One took a deep breath and said: "I naturally understand this truth, but at least let me try?"

"Try?" Lin Yue looked at him.

"Ten thousand years."

The Old One said deeply: "Just ten thousand years, I will transfer batches of geniuses from the Ancient World and personally instruct them. If I still can't cultivate a new son of the Primordial in ten thousand years, I will fulfill the agreement and will personally open the heavens and earth."

Lin Yue pondered in silence.

The Old One frowned slightly and said: "Just ten thousand years, it won't cause too much harm to the world, at worst, making it a bit harder to open up the heavens and earth."

"Fine, just ten thousand years."

Lin Yue nodded lightly and said: "During this ten thousand years, I will also remain in Eternal Night. After ten thousand years, I will return to the Other Shore."

"As you please." The Old One was indifferent, only asking: "However, since your true form has come out, can you still return?"

"Even if I separate my conscious essence, I can maintain the status of a son of the Primordial."

Lin Yue said calmly: "Within the Other Shore Temple of the Other Shore World, I left a replica, at the time I only borrowed half my consciousness to leave the Other Shore World through reincarnation in the form of a fetal embryo, but even the barrier of the world cannot sever the message carried by the Other Shore Heavenly Bell. Now I just need to find a weak point in the world barrier, and I can cooperate with the replica from the Other Shore World to return at any time."

The Old Master of the Old World gently shook his head and sighed, "Among the three of us, you still have the most methods."

Lin Yue glanced at him and said, "If you want to nurture a new Son of Primal Chaos, I won't stop you, but within this ten thousand years, you must not go too far. You should understand what I mean."

"You're personally staying to supervise, what else can I do?" The Old Master sighed.

"You handle it yourself."

Lin Yue casually glanced at Xiahou Shou and said, "I'll take care of your piece for you."

"As you please." The Old Master naturally didn't care.

Lin Yue turned his head to look at the Second Prince, the Main Hall Master, and others, saying, "Follow me back to Great Yong first."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and immediately took them back to King Xia's Mansion in Di Hong City.

In the courtyard, several people appeared there.

At the same time, Xiahong Feng also appeared in the courtyard almost simultaneously.

"Human Ancestor?"

The Second Prince was slightly taken aback, then said with surprise, "So you're not dead?"

Xiahong Feng was also stunned for a moment, then saw Lin Yue, only realizing something, and said with both surprise and joy, "Yue'er, could it be that you have already..."

"Don't talk nonsense, he is the reincarnation of the Other Shore Master." The Second Prince worried that Xiahong Feng might really regard him as a father, which would be a disrespect to this Other Shore Master, which would be troublesome.

Other Shore Master?

Xiahong Feng was also shocked, how did he bring the Other Shore Master through pregnancy?

"Yes, I succeeded."

Lin Yue, however, showed a hint of a smile and said, "Don't worry, although I am the reincarnation of half of the Other Shore Master's consciousness, I have no past memories. Until the moment of transcendence, only then did my memories fully return, so I am still Lin Yue. When I return and integrate with my avatar, I will still be me, Lin Yue is still my identity."

The Second Prince, being the son of a Divine Master of the Heart Phase lineage, naturally understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was finally able to relax a bit, looking at Xiahong Feng and questioning, "Human Ancestor, I saw Xiahong Feng bringing the Ancient Divine Punishment here, I thought you were already killed by him, how come you are unscathed?"

"It's the Ancient Divine Punishment that's protecting me." The Human Ancestor said, "I also didn't understand why the Ancient Divine Punishment was protecting me before, but now it seems, it might be because of Yue'er."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "In some respect, for us Sons of Primal Chaos, the Ultimate Divine Artifact exceeds the scope of our own abilities, otherwise why would we create the Ultimate Divine Artifact?"

"And the Ancient Divine Punishment is exactly the Ultimate Divine Artifact best at probing the essence."

He glanced at the restrained Xiahou Shou nearby and said, "The Ancient Divine Punishment probably also discovered that my consciousness's essence is at the Son of Primal Chaos level, suspected that I am the reincarnation of the Other Shore Master, and didn't dare to offend me, let alone wanted to cause trouble for its own master, so it deliberately preserved my father."

"So that's how it is..." Xiahong Feng suddenly realized, "I thought the Ancient Divine Punishment took a liking to me because of these tens of thousands of years of contact."

Lin Yue laughed helplessly and said, "The Ancient Divine Punishment has accompanied the Old Master throughout the entire Ancient Times, which is measured in billions of years, how could it change its mind because of tens of thousands of years of separation?"

"Hahaha... I was just saying." Xiahong Feng laughed loudly without any embarrassment.

"Lin Yue."

The Second Prince glanced at Xiahou Shou and asked, "How do you plan to deal with him?"

Lin Yue looked at Xiahou Shou and shook his head, "He's just a pitiful person, let him go to the Ancestor Hall to see his father's memorial tablet, and then let him enter reincarnation. I will erase all his memories."

He had obtained Xiahou Shou's memories and naturally understood how many misunderstandings had occurred and also understood that many mistakes were actually due to the Human Clan.

Even if Xiahou Shou were to disappear, this pitiful man should visit his father's memorial tablet one last time.

"Go ahead."

With a wave of his sleeve, Xiahou Shou, with a complex expression, disappeared without a trace.

With his current ability, no matter where Xiahou Shou was, he couldn't escape his grasp, nor could he stir up any waves.

"Then... what about our Eternal Night Clan?" The Second Prince looked at him with some unease.

"Rest assured."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "In ten thousand years, I will open the channel between Eternal Night and the Other Shore World. By then, all members of the Eternal Night Clan, including those in reincarnation, will be sent to the Other Shore World."

He gently shook his head and sighed, "After all, the Eternal Night Clan is also part of the Human Clan, only being used and thus suffering in this Eternal Night."

"Good... good..." The Second Prince couldn't help but smile with tears flowing down.

After so many years of suffering and despair, struggling to this day, finally seeing the light after a long and dark night, how could he not be moved to tears?

"Rest assured, although the Other Shore World is not perfect, with repeated reincarnations, it can cleanse the stain and desire from people's hearts."

Lin Yue smiled, "In ten thousand years, you all will know."

"Then..." Xiahong Feng couldn't help but ask, "What about your mother Lin Jianlu?"

"She was my most trusted son of a Divine Master in the past."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Back then, when I discovered the Old World might renege, I sent her out from the Other Shore World, so later I could take advantage of her pregnancy to leave the Other Shore World, which can be considered as exploiting a loophole in the rules."

He smiled and looked at Xiahong Feng, saying, "The imprint of the Other Shore Heavenly Bell exists in her Divine Soul, and she was summoned back by the Other Shore Heavenly Bell back then. If you want to see her, I can send you back first."

"Good, that's good." Xiahong Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lin Yue exchanged a few more words with the others, he turned and left.

He still had many things to handle.

For instance, helping Baili Fengzhi restore his Divine Soul, assisting Duke Heng to extend his life, and helping his master lift the demonization...

These matters, for him, could all be easily accomplished by now.

At this moment, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the night sky, awakening all things.

The long night will eventually end.

And the end is the dawn.

...

The End!
