The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 670 - 178 The Origin of Sinful Blood

The scene was exceedingly awkward for a moment, Su’e watched as Dongfang Yao was swept into the Yin and Yang Qi Pool by the flood, transforming into a part of the Yin and Yang Qi, remaining frozen in place for a long time without speaking.

The Yin and Yang Qi Pool is a forbidden place in the Netherland. It is said to be a pond created at the dawn of heaven and earth where Yin and Yang originated. Anything that enters the Yin and Yang Qi Pool, be it living creatures or inanimate objects, will be decomposed into the purest Yin and Yang Qi, and not even Divine Spirits can escape this fate.

Not to mention Dongfang Yao had only temporarily devoured Dongfang Ming’s Divine Power and flesh, even if he had returned to his prime, jumping into the Yin and Yang Qi Pool would have led him down a path of certain death.

But...

Is he just gone like that?

Su’e felt it was extremely ludicrous; she had been brewing such an elaborate play for so long, and it was over just as it was about to begin?

Su’e was at a loss for words. Had Dongfang Yao, after reincarnation, had a screw loose in his head? Why would you recklessly invoke someone else’s name, and do it so arrogantly at that? Wasn’t that asking for trouble?

What truly alarmed Su’e, however, was that the force that swept Dongfang Yao away was much stronger than she had imagined.

But the fact that he was ultimately swept away into the Yin and Yang Qi Pool also reflected the weakness of Qing Nu.

The need to use objects from heaven and earth to kill Dongfang Yao indicated that her power had not yet recovered.

Although Dongfang Yao is dead, the opportunity to resist Qing Nu still exists.

"That person who killed you, there seems to be a bit of an accident, and it looks like they can’t come now."

With a flick of her hand, Su’e shut off the displayed image.

Such a bad omen.

"Is he not your husband?"

Dongfang Hongyue noticed that Su’e was not at all sad or distressed about Dongfang Yao’s death, instead seeming somewhat disdainful, and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

"We did raise a child together, but we aren’t husband and wife."

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

This circle is a bit messy.

But I can understand, after all, they are gods!

With lifespans beyond mortal reckoning, it’s quite reasonable for them to seek excitement in their long lives.

Seeing the "I understand" expression on Dongfang Hongyue’s face, Su’e only felt a twinge of annoyance.

How should she explain?

It seems there was no explanation.

"The Sun God and Moon God are actually not husband and wife? I always thought they were a pair."

Qian Qian was also astonished on the side, and was even more surprised that Lin Yun was not the Sun God. She had thought that Lin Yun was a shoo-in, but to think that the true reincarnation of the Sun God turned out to be the one who looked identical to Lin Yun and even shared his name...

At this thought, Qian Qian suddenly felt something was amiss.

There must be a profound connection between the two Lin Yuns; otherwise, it would be enough for their names to be the same, yet their appearances were also identical. Most crucially, their fates were also entangled and unclear.

Suddenly, Qian Qian thought of a forbidden object from ancient times, the Pair of Fish Jade Ornaments.

This was a pair of jade pendants shaped like two identical fish, without any difference between them. When combined, they formed a perfectly round and auspicious jade pendant, this forbidden object could swap destinies and fates.

Could it be that Lin Yun had stolen the destiny of the other Lin Yun?

As Qian Qian analyzed this far, she dared not voice her thoughts.

If it really was so and seeing Lin Yun’s naive and ignorant appearance, he clearly did not seem like someone in the know.

The waters here were too deep, even the Sun God was part of the scheme. As a Divine Spirit far weaker than the Sun and Moon Gods, how could she grasp the intricacies!

It’s better to remain silent!

But what if Lin Yun is being schemed against?

Qian Qian couldn’t help but worry for Lin Yun, as her divine intuition was actually quite accurate.

"Hmph, I don’t want to think about it anymore. This guy is nothing to me, I don’t feel like bothering with him."

Feeling somewhat irritable, Qian Qian stopped her train of thought, while Su’e, on the other side, had already begun explaining the origins of the Sinful Blood to Dongfang Hongyue.

Originally, she would have had a grand opening, intimidating Dongfang Hongyue with Dongfang Yao’s presence, especially since Dongfang Yao’s combat record was actually quite impressive. As the former Sun God, he held the saying "In the east begins the Sun, undefeated solely by me."

In reality, there are perhaps ten gods as powerful as he was in the world.

The strength of each of the Four Great Holy Beasts alone is enough to rival the Sun God. Add to them Ancestor Bai and the rulers of The Four Great Divine Nations, and then include her, you get exactly ten.

The strength of other gods is indeed a little weaker. The Sun God Position is definitely among the strongest of the Divine Positions. The Moon God herself admits that without her precious artifacts, she would indeed be no match for Dongfang Yao, but the gap between them is not all that great.

However, Dongfang Yao indeed had no defeats.

Who would have thought that after his rebirth, Dongfang Yao would be so unimpressive?

Yet before he had regained his full strength, he dared to provoke the forbidden entity that reigned supreme above all gods—seeing someone courting death is one thing, but this was courting death at an unprecedented level.

Owing to the existence of a teammate who was a liability, Su’e now faced Dongfang Hongyue with much of her momentum weakened; thus, she decided to be a bit more sincere and less scheming, asking directly, "Do you know what the Sinful Blood inside you has to do with that person just now?"

Su’e paused for a moment, intending to utter ’that fool’ initially, but on second thought, out of respect for the deceased, she decided to spare him that humiliation.

"I don’t know, please enlighten me, senior."

Seeing that Dongfang Hongyue had no interest in guessing this time and her response was very calm, as if she was cooperating in following a script, Su’e felt much less of a thrill in keeping her in suspense.

"The origin of the Sinful Blood is Dongfang Yao; it was precisely because of this drop of Sinful Blood that the Twilight of the Gods began."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun glanced at Qian Qian, who, understanding the meaning of his look, retorted indignantly, "I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? The Sinful Blood comes from the Sun God, and the Sun God initiated the Twilight of the Gods, how am I wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, they heard Dongfang Hongyue ask, "The Sinful Blood is Dongfang Yao’s?"

By that logic, Dongfang Yao could also be considered a progenitor of the Dongfang Family; of course, Dongfang Hongyue would never acknowledge such an ancestor.

The ones she regarded as her kin were only those Dongfang clan members who had sacrificed themselves for the future of the family, such as Dongfang Ming. As for Dongfang Yao, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid if he died in front of her.

"The Sinful Blood wasn’t Dongfang Yao’s, but rather came from an unknown existence. Dongfang Yao was the first Divine Spirit to come into contact with the Sinful Blood during the most fierce power struggles among The Four Great Divine Nations. He invited the lords of the four nations and some powerful divine spirits to join a council.

It was this council that led to all the attending divine spirits becoming contaminated by the Sinful Blood. Dongfang Yao’s intention was for everyone to control the scale of battle, but due to the power of the Sinful Blood, the struggles between the gods became even more frenzied."

Lin Yun couldn’t help but glance at Qian Qian again, teasing, "Where did you hear that piece of gossip claiming that all goddesses loved Dongfang Yao?"

Qian Qian instantly flared up, exclaiming angrily, "So what if I did? I said that all the goddesses started fighting each other because of Dongfang Yao, at least that part is true!"

What’s this if not a blatant instance of arguing a point against better judgment?

Seeing Qian Qian’s exasperated demeanor, Lin Yun couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Nothing, I just... think you’re too cute."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Qian immediately grew aggressive, "I’ve told you not to call me cute!"

Their banter escalated into playfulness, but ultimately, they ended up snuggling together. Lin Yun wrapped his arms around her waist, persuading, "Let’s not make a fuss right now. Let’s listen to what they’re saying, this is firsthand information."

Certainly, Su’e’s account from the scene was far more credible than Qian Qian’s hearsay.

Su’e continued relating the secrets of the past, her expression one of reminiscence.

"At that time, we didn’t realize that the Divine Position had been infected by the Sinful Blood. We merely thought that all the struggles were overly emotional. Although a god possesses inconceivable powers and stands above mortals, they also have passions and desires.

Where there is desire, there is struggle. No one thought anything was wrong until Dongfang Yao himself discovered the contamination of his Divine Position. That’s when he sought me out, hoping to regain his sanity with the help of my Taiyin Divine Power. At the time, my Divine Position was also contaminated, so it was convenient for us to use each other’s power to expel it, resulting in the birth of a new god, Dongfang Ming."

So it turned out that Dongfang Ming was merely a being born out of the need to resolve a contamination. Naturally, neither the Moon God nor the Sun God had much affection for her, unlike mortals, who are filled with familial love for their children. When Dongfang Yao killed Dongfang Ming, he didn’t even blink.

"In the process of Dongfang Yao’s rebirth, we also found the source of the contamination—a droplet of essence blood hidden within Dongfang Yao’s body, containing a power full of temptation. Thus, even knowing the great danger, Dongfang Yao decided to refine that droplet of Sinful Blood, attempting to obtain stronger Divine Power."

Only now did Dongfang Hongyue realize that the Sinful Blood inside her had such a significant origin, coveted even by gods, but it was clearly an ominous object. If she could sense it, couldn’t the divine spirits feel it too?

Lin Yun, however, found this part of the story somewhat unnatural.

His blood also had a similar tempting power, but it was different; his blood was proper blood, not bringing disaster to anyone.

"Did the Sun God fall because of failure?"

Dongfang Hongyue was gradually getting involved in the conversation with Su’e, her interaction also a way of offering Su’e face, while also subtly guiding Su’e to talk in the direction Dongfang Hongyue cared about.

Her previous display of being straightforward and honest was just for show; her mind was constantly calculating, but dealings with gods must be approached with utmost caution. Therefore, Dongfang Hongyue had not made her intentions too obvious.

Upon hearing Dongfang Hongyue’s speculation, Su’e became grave, "On the contrary, he was close to success. It was precisely because he was nearing success that he unleashed the terrible power of the Sinful Blood, leading to frequent disasters. Dongfang Yao, his Divine Position being too severely contaminated, was forced to abandon it.

Unwilling to step down from the Divine Altar so easily, he then came to me with a plan to restore his Divine Position using the power of the Sinful Blood. But at the critical moment, a forbidden entity awoke. Dongfang Yao had hardly any resistance and was led down the path of reincarnation.

Although reincarnation was part of the plan, the appearance of that supreme god still caught me off guard."

"You seem to be quite sentimental, continuing with the plan even after Dongfang Yao’s death."

"You’re wrong there. I’m not doing this for him; it’s because I too want to possess the power of the Sinful Blood."

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

So, am I basically delivering myself to her doorstep?

Looking at Su’e’s somewhat sinister smile, Dongfang Hongyue felt numb...
