The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 651 - 159 Misplaced Space-Time

Over a hundred thousand years ago, the beginning of the Twilight of the Gods was marked by a great downpour.

That rain almost covered the entire world, with incessant showers that persisted for half a year. There was no pure land left in the Mortal Realm, everywhere had become a marshland.

Mortals were praying for the pity of the Divine Spirits, while the gods all believed this was a heavenly fortune bestowed upon them; as mortals floundered in the sea of suffering, they would seek the protection of the divine.

No god imagined that this disaster, which began by harming only mortals, would ultimately lead to the downfall of gods themselves.

"At that time, I was just a young minor deity..."

This great rain also stirred up Qian Qian’s memories. She wanted to continue with her recollections, but unexpectedly heard Lin Yun interrupt, "How are gods born? Are they produced naturally, or are they born from the love between a male god and a goddess?"

Qian Qian: "..."

This person’s focus is too bizarre. Can’t he just listen to the story properly?

Somewhat annoyed in her heart, Qian Qian refused to answer such an exceedingly private question.

However, Lin Yun didn’t seem to notice his own impoliteness. Seeing her not responding, he pressed on, "Can you have children? Can a mortal and a goddess conceive a child after making love?"

Hearing this question, Qian Qian was suddenly shocked and answered seriously, "Don’t entertain such wild thoughts, it’s impossible!"

She felt Lin Yun was looking for an opportunity to do something with her. With this thought, Lin Yun’s body seemingly warmed up, making her wish she could shake him off. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But now that her life and welfare depended on Lin Yun, Qian Qian naturally didn’t dare to let go.

Is this guy trying to take advantage of someone in peril?

Qian Qian suddenly became frantic.

In her past as a deity, she had never expected such a day to come, bound by some inexplicable force, unable to use her Divine Power, having to live like a mortal.

Yet, now that she had already transformed into a human, if Lin Yun wanted to do something to her, she couldn’t resist.

Her stern warning left Lin Yun speechless as well.

Please, I was just curiously asking...

Hey, wait, what’s she afraid of?

Lin Yun could tell from Qian Qian’s nervous behavior that she currently had no ability to resist. To take her down while she was ill?

The taste of a goddess, Lin Yun hadn’t experienced it yet!

"Are you saying a goddess can’t have children?"

"Of course they can, but the total amount of Divine Power in a god is limited, and once a child is left behind, the deity’s own divinity will inevitably flow to the child,"

Despite her resistance, Qian Qian still ended up educating Lin Yun.

"Unless they are on the verge of losing control or nearing the end of their life, gods do not birth offspring."

"Gods have lifespan limits too?"

Lin Yun acquired an important piece of information.

He had always thought the lifespan of gods should be boundless. Didn’t Qian Qian just mention she had lived for over a hundred thousand years, with ages counted by the tens of thousands?

Gods could die, but they were supposed to be killed, not die naturally.

What Qian Qian referred to as the end of life refreshed Lin Yun’s understanding.

"Both heaven and earth have lifespans, let alone gods."

"Then what’s this about losing control?"

Lin Yun felt there was a significant hint in that statement.

However, when he asked this, Qian Qian, who had been answering everything up to that point, suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, she changed the topic, "It looks like we’re about to get out."

This time, Lin Yun tactfully did not continue his inquiries.

At this moment, they were only about a dozen meters away from the top of the dam. Lin Yun could have easily jumped out, but he chose to climb up step by step.

Finally, he reached the top of the dam, and his area of movement was completely restricted.

The way up was blocked, and every other direction was sealed off as well.

However, there were advantages to leading the climb.

Lin Yun finally saw the entire sky.

The clouds were just completely covering the area above the dam, while outside of it, the sky was clear.

In the sky hung both the sun and the moon.

The sight of the sun and moon shining together reminded Lin Yun of the divination Zhen Li had performed for him.

Sun, moon, flood.

The divination was incredibly accurate.

But this was far from any fortune born from misfortune or blessings disguised as adversities; it was literally no escape!

Having reached the top, with no path to life left, Qian Qian patted the wall of air and her spirit also sort of broke down.

Yet, seeing Lin Yun still so composed, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Why can you remain so calm?"

"Should I be weeping loudly? No need for that."

The truth was Lin Yun had a card up his sleeve.

He still hadn’t used the Jade Ruyi in his hand!

When things got really desperate, Qing Nu would not just watch him drown. So, until things reached a hopeless moment, just wait it out, there might be a turnaround.

Qian Qian was almost influenced by Lin Yun’s optimism. Standing beside Lin Yun, she also looked out in the same manner he did and then saw Bai Jiaojiao and her group flying toward the dam.

Qian Qian became exhilarated, "They’re outside the dam, they might be able to help us break the enchantment!"

Lin Yun also felt that breaking the enchantment from outside might be easier.

When he laid the enchantment, it was mainly to defend against the Qing Shui on the inside of the dam; the outside didn’t have as strong a defense. When the time came, he and Bai Jiaojiao could work together from inside and out and should be able to break through the enchantment successfully.

As Bai Jiaojiao and her companions drew nearer, Lin Yun and Qian Qian relaxed a bit as well.

However, Bai Jiaojiao acted as if she hadn’t seen the two of them and transformed into the True Dragon, circling the dam. Then reverting back to her human form, she said to Wang Wanqiu by her side, "I didn’t see Lin Yun, I wonder where he has gone."

Lin Yun: "..."

Qian Qian: "..."

They were only a few meters away from Bai Jiaojiao and Wang Wanqiu, yet they couldn’t be seen?

As Lin Yun thought of something, he ran toward Bai Jiaojiao, reaching out to grab her, but his hand passed through her body like it was nothing but a shadow.

"What’s going on here?"

Lin Yun felt the situation seemed more complicated than he had imagined.

Qian Qian was also at a loss. Having witnessed the Twilight of the Gods and the war between Demons and Gods, what great event hadn’t she seen?

But this, she had never seen before.

Under the same sky, so close within reach, yet they were unable to touch one another.

Moreover, Bai Jiaojiao could move about inside the dam freely; she even flew below to search for Lin Yun’s traces, but not a single drop of water clung to her, nor were her movements hindered.

Everything was steeped in eeriness.

As Qian Qian looked up at the sun and moon in the sky, a bold conjecture suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Could it be..."

"Just say what you’re thinking."

For the first time, Lin Yun was somewhat impatient.

Qian Qian didn’t take his attitude to heart and, albeit hesitantly, she shared her speculation.

"The sun and moon represent time, and under their combined shine, there might be a displacement of time and space. That’s why she stands right in front of us, yet we can’t touch them."

That was Qian Qian’s guess.

She had never encountered such a scene. Even if it was a guess, it was quite a bold one. After speaking out, she increasingly felt it might be possible.

"Displacement of time and space..."

Everything became much more complicated once time was involved.

Lin Yun knew he didn’t have much time to hesitate. He took out the Jade Ruyi, initially a last resort lifesaving tool, but now he had to use it.

"Ruyi, Ruyi, follow my wishes..."

The Jade Ruyi showed no response, not even a glimmer of light emerged.

Was this because the energy required to leave this place was too great, or was the Jade Ruyi unable to counteract the forces at work here?

At this moment, Lin Yun truly felt numb.

He watched with wide eyes as Bai Jiaojiao and Wang Wanqiu searched for a long time, concluding that they hadn’t found him, before hurrying away.

Now, Lin Yun couldn’t rely on them discovering him anymore.

Beneath the dam, the water level continued to rise, and with dark clouds overhead, the rain hadn’t stopped.

Following this trend, by sunset, it would be their doom.

"Aren’t you at least a God? Don’t you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Lin Yun put away Qiaobian and the Thunderclap Sword and looked at Qian Qian.

You’re supposed to be a God, can’t you be more useful?

Qian Qian: "..."

She felt insulted.

She was the Thousand Hands and Eye God, which meant she was a God filled with power and wisdom, and here she was, being ridiculed by Lin Yun, a mere mortal!

Although annoyed, she had no argument to counter with.

"How could I have anticipated such a turn of events? Besides, this is a matter of divine will, not my fault."

She was just a minor deity; how could she contend with divine will?

Qian Qian seriously defended herself, but Lin Yun suddenly broke into laughter upon watching her.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qian Qian felt embarrassed and believed that Lin Yun was surely mocking her.

"It’s nothing, I was just thinking that both of us have screwed each other over, leading to this predicament. Yet at this moment, we are helping each other, and might even end up sharing life and death. Fate is truly indescribable!"

"You! Who’s going to share life and death with you? When this lady dominated the skies, your ancestors hadn’t even been born!"

Her fierce cuteness was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

Lin Yun looked at her with a smile, letting her scream and shout, which only infuriated Qian Qian even more.

"Why are you laughing! Stop laughing!"

"No, I just thought Gods were always high above, cold and emotionless. I never expected to find a God as charming and amusing as you."

"You! Don’t call me cute!"

Qian Qian’s eyes widened angrily, presenting a fiercely cute demeanor as she faced Lin Yun’s smile, feeling somewhat unsettled.

What was this feeling? Why was she pleased when he called her cute?

"Then I won’t say it anymore."

Lin Yun still wore a smile, glancing at the rising water below and the sun and moon overhead, silent.

His silence made the ferocious Qian Qian reflective, and after retracting her aggressive demeanor, she deliberately mocked with a sneer, "What’s the matter, afraid of dying soon?"

Lin Yun nodded, then shook his head, causing Qian Qian’s confusion.

"Are you scared or not scared?"

"Of course, I’m scared. But what I fear is that, when I die, the people I love and who love me will grieve and suffer. As for myself, there’s really nothing to be afraid of."

"So this is the sad part about mortals. You have too many attachments in your hearts, and you’ll never touch the Great Dao."

Qian Qian commented pridefully, and Lin Yun glanced at her, retorting, "If I die, those who love me will remember me, and I’ll live on in their hearts. If you died, you’d likely be quickly forgotten, right? Compared to that, who’s more pitiful?"

Qian Qian: "..."

Lin Yun seemed to have a point.

Normally, when a God dies, there would still be believers to remember them, but her two believers... weren’t exactly devout.
