The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 658 - 166: The Sun and Moon Double Pit

Lin Yun and Qian Qian wandered on White Tiger Ridge, both in a strange state, present in this world yet unable to have any impact on anything in it.

As a Divine Spirit, Qian Qian knew more, but time-space chaos was also beyond her knowledge.

Despite this, she could still analyze the current situation, after all, being a Divine Spirit, she had seen much and her ability to analyze problems was stronger.

Qian Qian speculated that the root cause of the time-space chaos still lay with the sun and the moon above.

The sun and the moon both represent time, and their simultaneous appearance meant time-space chaos, which made sense.

Moreover, they hadn’t seen any other anomalies before, neither Apocalypse Thunder nor Lifeless Water possessed the power of time, so they couldn’t be the cause.

Therefore, to resolve the time-space chaos, there were two options, one was to wait.

Natural phenomena always disappear one day, no rush, take it slowly, after all, they weren’t in any danger now.

The second option was to break the spell themselves; as for how, Qian Qian didn’t know.

That was as good as saying nothing.

Lin Yun wasn’t in a hurry either, it was only through eavesdropping on conversations that he discovered he had been missing for a year in this timeline.

What happened during that year, others did not deliberately mention, so Lin Yun didn’t know the details.

After all, among the people related to him, several had already become reclusive.

During this time, Lin Yun also began to ask Qian Qian about mythical stories.

Qian Qian hadn’t forgotten their agreement, so the two of them sat on the peak of White Tiger Ridge, watching Lin Yun’s other women either sadly looking at the water, or solemnly cultivating, or actively organizing post-disaster reconstruction, Qian Qian felt somewhat triumphant.

"To talk about past stories, first you must understand the hierarchy of Divine Spirits. According to their power, they can be divided into three categories. Those that rely on the Celestial Bodies are called Star Deities, like the Sun God and Moon God, the two most powerful Star Deities.

Those that rely on the forces of nature are called Spirit Deities, like the Rain God and Great Mist, who are among the best of the Spirit Deities.

The last category includes Divine Spirits that do not belong to the previous two categories, collectively referred to as True Gods, like me; I am a True God."

"It sounds like True Gods are the weakest."

Lin Yun interjected with a quip, and Qian Qian instantly glared with wide eyes, angrily saying, "What do you know! There are strong among the True Gods, and weak among the Star Deities, it’s simply shallow to differentiate strength by category!"

Seeing her get ruffled, Lin Yun didn’t argue with her, but simply asked, "Among the three, which kind of God is generally the strongest?"

"Star Deity."

"And next?"

"Spirit Deity."

"Alright, I got it."

Qian Qian: "..."

She seemed to have given herself away.

But she emphasized again, "Don’t look down on me because I am a True God, back then, I beat the Rain God, and I also fought the Moon God, we were evenly matched."

"Oh? You are that powerful?"

Doubt was written all over Lin Yun’s face, and Qian Qian immediately became infuriated.

"What’s that expression for, do I have any need to lie to you? Although the Moon God didn’t use Magical Treasures, I didn’t either!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Understood.

It sounded like the Moon God was a rich lady, with many treasures, but she didn’t use them, and you...

Those who understand, understand. Lin Yun wasn’t one to struggle with conversation, so he gave Qian Qian some face.

"I think you are quite powerful, at least you can still sit with me and chat. The Moon God you mentioned, we still don’t know when she’ll wake up."

In the Land of Death, Su’e abruptly awakened.

Who is calling me?

Damn, my Primordial Chaos Bead has been demoted to an Immortal Artifact!

Lin Yun was unaware that he had annoyed a certain god to the point of cursing, as he happily continued listening to Qian Qian talk about the structure of Divine Spirits.

"Beyond the three categories of gods, there are some special gods that do not fall into these classifications, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, as well as the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan became gods through cultivation, so some gods don’t acknowledge them as Divine Spirits, but the Dragon Clan is indeed formidable."

Qian Qian finished recounting the classification of Divine Spirits finger by finger, but as for the strength of Divine Spirits, she hid a card up her sleeve.

What if Lin Yun asked again about her strength level?

Thus, Qian Qian directly began to discuss the root of the battle among the gods.

First of all, there is the contempt chain, where Star Deities look down on any god, and Spirit Deities do the same.

True Gods are the most numerous, yet they’re at the very bottom of the contempt chain.

With conflicts, naturally, there comes a fuse.

Qian Qian said seriously, "I heard that the origin of the Twilight of the Gods began with the Sun God, who also fell during the twilight. With the fall of the Sun God came the dusk of heaven and earth; many Divine Spirits died in that chaos. It is because the most powerful Divine Spirit, the Sun God, perished that this calamity is referred to as the Twilight of the Gods."

Seeing her solemn expression, Lin Yun also took it seriously. But the next second, Qian Qian started to gossip, "I heard that the very beginning of the Twilight of the Gods was because the Sun God involved himself with too many goddesses. Different goddesses began to fight among themselves for his favor.

Like the Canglan Divine Emperor and the Tai Bai Divine Emperor, the two largest Divine Countries went to wars, thus dragging different gods into it. And when the Sun God killed Great Mist, a top contender among the Spirit Deities, it led to their hostility. Exactly how they started fighting is unclear to me, but it all escalated from small skirmishes to battles involving all Divine Spirits.

Eventually, almost all the Star Deities and Spirit Deities died, the Four Great Holy Beasts fell, and the Dragon Clan was almost entirely wiped out, with only a few Divine Spirits surviving. Only then did they recuperate and cease warring."

"What were you doing during the Twilight of the Gods?"

Lin Yun couldn’t help but wonder. Earlier, Qian Qian had said she had survived two major cataclysms, yet now she seemed to have an incomplete understanding of the Twilight of the Gods, which made him suspect.

Qian Qian said, embarrassed and annoyed, "I was still young at that time, so it was quite normal that I didn’t participate in the battle!"

In summary, she had hidden from the Twilight of the Gods.

Because she hadn’t participated, she wasn’t clear on the details.

But after all, she was already born during that era, so she still knew a little bit.

"The Twilight of the Gods that swept the entire world was actually because the Sun God got involved with too many women?"

"Yeah, that’s the consequence of being a womanizer."

Lin Yun: "..."

Lin Yun found it difficult to accept this piece of gossip from Qian Qian. It didn’t seem scientifically accurate.

There’s no smoke without fire. Qian Qian must have some basis for saying this, but Lin Yun felt even more that it wasn’t the true origin of the Twilight of the Gods. He had a bold idea.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao felt there were too many gods and simply decided to eliminate some of them? Just like the calamities occurring in the Mortal Realm, it was a sign of Heavenly Dao’s lethal intent.

Of course, the Twilight of the Gods might not have been an act of the Heavenly Dao. Gods would naturally kill each other; resources are limited after all. Conflicts over believers and territories were inevitable.

The difference lies in whether the heavenly will intervened.

Knowing that Qian Qian was implying something, Lin Yun didn’t argue with her. Could that be called womanizing?

This was being affectionate!

And his wives would certainly form a united front and not fight among themselves.

That’s the difference in personal charm.

Lin Yun continued to ask, "How did the Sun God die? Wasn’t he the most powerful Divine Spirit?"

"He was not killed by other gods; he chose to die voluntarily. The war of the gods caused turbulence in the heavens and the earth. To maintain the world’s stability, the Sun God fell to the Mortal Realm, using his own Divine Power to restore the broken world."

Speaking of this, Qian Qian still had a great respect for the Sun God. Even if he was a bit of a womanizer, the Sun God was still a very radiant and benevolent god.

"The death of the Sun God did not put an end to the gods’ fighting; it became even more intense instead. Some saw opportunities after the Sun God’s fall, while others fought to seize the Great Sun Divine Power.

The goddesses who adored the Sun God turned their weapons against other goddesses, believing they were to blame for his death, and waged an endless war against each other. This caused the already fragile world to collapse again, with the pillars of heaven tumbling down and floods raging. The Five Elements were inverted, and the heavens and earth reversed."

Qian Qian vividly described the scenario at the time, making Lin Yun feel as if he were there. His curiosity increased for the deceased Sun God. What kind of celestial figure was he that his charm almost rivaled Lin Yun’s!

Gods in this world, just like humans, have their seven emotions and six desires, and are not as Lin Yun believed them to be—devoid of desires and cold-hearted. This could be seen from Qian Qian, whose rich emotions shattered Lin Yun’s impression of the gods from their pedestals to the mortal plane.

Thus, the notion that numerous goddesses fought over a male god, leading to the Twilight of the Gods, seemed reasonable.

At the end of this mythological story came a conclusion of sacrifice and punishment. The Four Sacred Beasts stepped in to quell the catastrophe, suppressing all the immortals and gods that caused the chaos.

Ancestor Bai turned into Mount Heavenly Dragon, guarding the spatial rifts.

After the Twilight of the Gods, the powerful gods either perished or went into hiding. And it was during this time that the Moon God plotted to resurrect the Sun God.

Lin Yun felt that this marked the beginning of the next Chapter, namely the Chaos of Demons and Gods.

Qian Qian spoke eloquently about the Twilight of the Gods that occurred during her younger years, but when it came to the Chaos of Demons and Gods that she had experienced herself, she became vague.

"All I know is that Su’e, that unfortunate god, made many arrangements to resurrect the Sun God and accidentally opened a space channel. The wars of the Twilight of the Gods had already left this world full of rifts, and Su’e’s actions were like adding fuel to the fire.

The Demon Race invaded forcefully, the gods who had just gone through the Twilight of the Gods were not their match, and the Divine Race was defeated at every turn. The Demon Race also brought with it four major sources of chaos. This time, the threat of world annihilation was even greater than during the Twilight of the Gods. Knowing I couldn’t help much, I created the God Realm to hide in. What happened after that, I have no idea.

When I emerged from the God Realm I had created, it was all over—every god was dead, and so were the demons. I didn’t know what had happened. I only saw Su’e stripped of the Moon God’s Divine Position and suppressed by a force. That was the last god I ever saw."

Lin Yun: "..."

Because you chickened out, you know so little about something so important?

I shall call you the weakest Divine Spirit...
