The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 649 - 157 Sun and Moon Shine Together

Five hundred miles away from Cloud Dream Marsh dam, Bai Jiaojiao and others were waiting here for Lin Yun’s triumphant return.

Despite their great confidence in Lin Yun, the adversary he faced this time was a Divine Spirit, so claiming they were not worried would be false.

The only ones truly unconcerned were Gao Qing and Bai Gan, for they did not understand the gravity of what Lin Yun was about to confront. They simply thought Lin Yun had had a change of heart, fittingly on the same day the dam was completed, merely requiring Lin Yun, the technical worker.

Why wouldn’t they, the brick-moving workers on holiday, find the situation very reasonable?

For the working class, a holiday is always a joyous occasion.

The two did not even think about running away, as they would only be caught and brought back; thus, they simply resigned themselves to their fate.

Zhen Li looked around at the somewhat tense atmosphere, unable to help but want to lighten the mood.

She was just a newbie, now mingling among the big shots, and always felt uncomfortable in her own skin.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. I divined Lin Yun’s fortune, and it indicated that he would turn misfortune into blessing, and calamity into fortune. He must be fine," she said.

Although the divination outcome was slightly different from before, the thought process for interpreting it should be correct.

However...

No one paid attention to what Zhen Li said.

Wang Wan Qiu was naturally a reserved person. She had also had a little dispute with Zhen Li last time, and despite not bearing a grudge, their relationship couldn’t be considered friendly.

Moreover, although Wang Wan Qiu’s worry for Lin Yun was evident on her face, she was too embarrassed to voice it out, and therefore it was not convenient for her to join the conversation.

As for Green Snake, while she held no grudges against Zhen Li, she was accustomed to being a follower. Generally speaking, unless addressed directly, she would not respond.

That left Bai Jiaojiao. Her mind was entirely on Lin Yun. She did indeed feel slightly reassured by Zhen Li’s words, but she did not think a response was necessary. She kept silent and just looked in the direction of the dam.

Zhen Li, seeing that no one was picking up the conversational ball, felt like she could crawl into a hole in the ground.

Wasn’t this just awkward?

Thankfully, just at that moment, Bai Gan, who had been sleeping soundly, muttered in a daze, "Why has the moon come out? Have I slept until evening? But why is it so bright? Is there something wrong with my eyes?"

These words led Bai Gan from a drowsy state to full alertness.

Suddenly sitting up from the ground, she looked around to confirm her eyes were fine, then let out a sigh of relief. But when she looked up at the sky, ah, wasn’t that the moon?

Yet the sun was still bright in the sky!

At her words, the others looked up at the sky collectively. The sun’s light was blinding, while on the opposite side, the moon was also hanging high in the sky.

Although the moonlight was not as prominent as the sunlight, it was still distinctly visible to the naked eye.

The simultaneous presence of the sun and moon in the sky was not unheard of; it could happen at dawn or dusk. But it was now midday, the time when the sun’s rays were at their strongest. How could the moon’s glow possibly compete with the sun?

The sudden appearance of this omen left Bai Jiaojiao unable to discern whether it was a good or bad sign, but Zhen Li was shocked.

Could it be that what I witnessed was not a foreboding, but a segment of a real vision?

Then, isn’t Lin Yun...

At Cloud Dream Marsh dam, the sky was already covered by pervasive dark clouds that had arrived too quickly, making Lin Yun feel as though the entire world had plunged into darkness. It was at that moment a strand of black lightning struck the dam.

Aside from sea swallows, Lin Yun had never seen black lightning in his life.

That lightning hit precisely on the formation Lin Yun had set up on the dam. The dam was not yet fully complete, and those formations were still inactive, but under the effect of the black lightning, all formations activated.

Not only that, but the power of the formations was much greater than when Lin Yun first created them.

Feeling a faint sealing force, Lin Yun was not pleased at all.

Coincidence?

Heh, things weren’t so coincidental.

Perhaps the entity behind this was aware that Lin Yun knew of its existence and decided to directly make its move?

Although it had not revealed its true form, its manipulations certainly were not concealed.

Qian Qian’s complexion also turned grave as she slowly said, "That is the Apocalypse Thunder. Is this world also on the brink of destruction?"

Lin Yun seized the moment to inquire, "Apocalypse Thunder? Can you elaborate?"

Qian Qian gave Lin Yun a look, as if to remind him that he had forgotten about their wager and that he had not adhered to it diligently.

However, now was an excellent opportunity for her to show off, and she did not hesitate to do so.

"Thunder often symbolizes justice and originally represented creation and rebirth; that is the Genesis Thunder, also known as the Primordial Thunder, the herald of a New World’s birth. But as people’s lifespans come to an end, so too does everything under heaven. Even worlds approach an eventual decline.

When that time comes, the Five Spirits of creation will transform into the Apocalypse Five Spirits. They are Apocalypse Thunder, Sky-Burning Fire, Lifeless Water, Space-Devouring Soil, and Breath-Ending Wind. Any one of these elements possesses the power to end a world."

"If one can end a world, what if all five appear together?"

Lin Yun boldly let his imagination roam as he asked, to which Qian Qian smiled and replied, "If the Apocalypse Five Spirits were to all emerge, neither man nor God could escape the calamity."

"And yet you can still smile so brightly. Aren’t you afraid?"

Lin Yun was puzzled. Looking at Qian Qian’s timidity, she didn’t seem like someone unfazed by death.

"What are the odds of such an unfortunate event? This is but a thread of the Apocalypse Thunder. If it truly had the power of destruction, it would at least be a sky-concealing, earth-shrouding thunder. It’s still far too early for that."

Qian Qian carefully sensed the energy of the dark clouds above; it wasn’t overwhelming, and she had the capability to handle it.

"Why don’t you take a look at what’s beneath your feet?"

Lin Yun pointed at the pool of Qing Shui below, after that black Thunderbolt flashed, the originally calm water suddenly started boiling, many bubbles emerging and bursting out of it. Lin Yun also noticed that the water level of the pool was rising at a visible rate.

"Is there something good under our feet... mother of..."

Qian Qian was so startled that she actually cried out for her mom.

When she first descended, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual, and she had been focused on the dark clouds and thunder just now. But now, looking down at the green water and feeling the destructive power it contained, it seemed like she could hardly withstand it. She suddenly realized what this water was.

What else could it be if not the Lifeless Water from the Apocalypse Five Spirits?

Water is the source of life, and Lifeless Water is the extreme opposite; it can kill all living things.

Even for a Divine Spirit like herself.

Qian Qian finally started to panic. She had ways to escape the other types, but for Lifeless Water, she had absolutely no resistance.

"I’m bailing first, we can talk about the bet later, if you can still survive."

Qian Qian decisively prepared to flee, which refreshed Lin Yun’s understanding of her cowardice.

He had originally planned to use himself as bait, exploiting the Divine Power of Qing Shui to punish Qian Qian. Now, it seemed, this opportunity might not even be effective in front of a cowardly god—for she was indeed a sheer coward.

And Lin Yun, looking at the rising Qing Shui, didn’t dare to linger either, hurriedly grabbing the rope to escape.

"What’s happening!"

As Lin Yun was escaping, he suddenly heard Qian Qian’s horrified voice. Following the sound, he found that Qian Qian was still there.

Wasn’t she supposed to have fled?

Could it be that my sealing Formation could actually hold a god?

This is very ungodly!

Although Lin Yun felt the strength of the sealing Formation had been greatly enhanced by the black Thunderbolt, he was basically restrained, with Spiritual Liquid barely able to circulate through his meridians and acupoints.

But Qian Qian was a Divine Spirit, and what she brought down was just a will incarnation. Could it even be sealed?

"Didn’t you say you could handle just a little bit of Apocalypse Thunder, what happened that adding a Formation has stumped you?"

Lin Yun assured her that he was just simply inquiring and had no intention of mocking.

Yet Qian Qian was livid with anger.

Having been a god for so many years, the most severe setback she had suffered was at the hands of Lin Yun.

She must have been contaminated by his rotten luck, and now she was even being mocked by him. Qian Qian truly wished she could hoist Lin Yun up and thrash him.

But the water was creeping up, she couldn’t use her Divine Power, and even flying was impossible.

Fortunately, she had been standing on the dam wall before. The dam’s base was sloped enough that standing still wasn’t an issue, but with the water level rising, staying put was akin to courting death.

She never imagined that as a god, merely descending as a will, she could fall into such peril. What kind of damn luck was this!

Qian Qian wished she had eight legs, but she had taken a human form upon her arrival, and now she only had her limbs.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about appearances. With the water level rising beneath her, the only way to live was to climb up using her own strength.

However, she had barely started climbing when the wall of the dam turned slippery, and the slope seemed to steepen considerably. Watching Lin Yun quickly ascend the rope ahead, Qian Qian couldn’t help but feel frustrated and anxious.

"Are you deliberately scheming against me!"

"Yes, it’s just that I didn’t expect it to work so well. It just so happened there was a thunderstorm."

Lin Yun spoke the truth, and it was precisely because it was all true that it was more infuriating.

Qian Qian’s mindset collapsed, torn between anger and being wronged, she said, "Why are you bullying people like this!"

Lin Yun: "..."

You’re coveting my wife, and you’re saying I’m bullying you?

A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black?

Lin Yun, standing on high ground, watched with amusement as Qian Qian struggled to cling to the wall, daring not to move. Seeing a goddess reduced to such a state brought him great pleasure.

"In my life, Lin Yun has always been one to repay grudges."

Qian Qian: "..."

So you’re not even going to mention the favors, huh!

Remember the time you freeloaded a Divine Skill from me? Have you forgotten it?

"We have no grudges or grievances; you’re the one who provoked me first!"

Qian Qian bit her lip, her face filled with a look of grievance. She truly had the worst luck for encountering Lin Yun. She should never have made that bet with him. As she saw the Qing Shui quickly rising below, she could never bring herself to ask Lin Yun for help.

Even if today is my end, I, Qian Qian, would rather die and be bloated with water than seek help from Lin Yun!

Suddenly, a wave rolled in.

How could a pond without wind have waves?

Isn’t this just asking for death?

"Save me!"
