The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 675 - 183 I Am the Heart Demon

Dongfang Yao, now that’s a name Lin Yun couldn’t dare to forget.

There were so many people in the world, and it was possible for names to be the same, but when that voice mentioned Dongfang Yao delving into the Path of Time...

The Dongfang Yao capable of that feat could only be the one and only Sun God.

Through shared vision, Lin Yun also saw the suddenly appearing phantom.

That shadow was also an acquaintance, none other than Su’e, with whom he had dealt several times.

Why would I dream of them?

Lin Yun felt that something was off. Dreaming was already a fantastic affair, and yet he happened to dream of Dongfang Yao and Su’e, which led Lin Yun to a bold speculation.

"Could it be that I have traveled back to the ancient times along the reverse flow of time?"

Obviously, his physical body was still in the normal spacetime, and it seemed that only part of his blood had come over.

Does that mean my blood has its own ideas?

Lin Yun was internally ridiculing the situation non-stop, but he wasn’t in a hurry to wake up.

Since he’d already come this far, this dream might just be the key to uncovering some hidden secrets, so he decided to continue observing for now.

Upon seeing the phantom of Su’e, Dongfang Yao also snorted coldly.

"Are you here to mock me?"

When Lin Yun heard this, he knew Dongfang Yao was truly lacking in emotional intelligence. Just like this, it’s no wonder Su’e denied her relationship with him even after they had a child together—Dongfang Yao had no clue how to charm a lady!

Seducing a lady wasn’t something you could achieve merely with good looks; it required skill as well. Even someone as handsome as Lin Yun needed to employ techniques to win over one girlfriend after another.

Time to label Dongfang Yao as a loser in love!

Upon hearing Dongfang Yao’s rude words, Su’e smiled and said, "I wouldn’t dare come to mock you; after all, you’re the unparalleled God, who would dare to make a joke of you!"

Her sarcastic remark immediately infuriated Dongfang Yao.

Lin Yun could feel his heart beating faster, which allowed him to control twice as much blood as he could before.

Calm down, buddy, if you get any angrier, I’m worried you might not make it.

"If you’re here to laugh at me, you’ve had your laugh, now please leave!"

Dongfang Yao outright asked her to leave, but Su’e was naturally unwilling to go.

Like Dongfang Yao, she too was eligible to comprehend the Path of Time. She admitted that in terms of cultivation, Dongfang Yao was indeed stronger than her; his insights into the Path of Time were deeper than hers. In fact, she was there to gather information.

Who knew that Dongfang Yao would react so explosively upon their encounter? Su’e, caring about her own face too, started being sarcastic. She didn’t expect Dongfang Yao to have such a bad temper, and that he would simply send her away.

"There’s been a misunderstanding. I didn’t come to laugh at you; I just came to see what could possibly harm our world’s foremost God."

Each time Su’e mentioned "the foremost in the world," Dongfang Yao felt like she was mocking him.

This "foremost in the world" title wasn’t self-proclaimed; it was given by his followers and some meddlers.

Since the sun did indeed hold the highest divine position, and Dongfang Yao did have the strength, being ranked first wasn’t entirely wrong.

When others ranked him first, Dongfang Yao certainly wouldn’t object; he was secretly pleased about it!

But when Su’e mentioned "the foremost in the world" with sarcasm, that upset him greatly.

"You clearly are mocking me; you’ve never stopped."

Dongfang Yao fumed with anger, while Su’e struggled to suppress her smile, looking at his enraged face.

I’m a professional; I can’t laugh.

"Enough, Dongfang Yao, stop the pointless argument. I’ve come for serious matters. Both of us are delving into the Path of Time; I just want to know what you encountered, that’s all."

Su’e finally stated her intention. To deal with a stubborn person like Dongfang Yao, she needed to speak plainly, otherwise, who knew how he might misconstrue her words.

At the mention of that, Dongfang Yao felt a faint pain in his abdomen.

That sword stroke was dangerously close; an inch lower, and he could have become like her.

After that sword pierced his abdomen, it quickly vanished back into the river of time. It came from the river of time, returned to it, and yet it specifically struck him.

Having come such a long way just to deliver that blow to him—how could he not be angry?

He didn’t even get a clear look at the sword, seeing only a burst of light.

To be hailed as the world’s foremost God and get stabbed without any means of redress—what an indignity!

Luckily, his divine body was extremely strong; it was just a piercing wound, which healed quickly. Now, Su’e bringing up the incident was truly a case of bringing up an unwelcome subject.

"If you want me to talk, lend me the Primordial Chaos Bead for ten days."

Dongfang Yao, although hot-tempered, wasn’t foolish. He understood what Su’e was after, but this information was within his control. If Su’e wanted it, naturally she had to offer something in exchange.

The Moon God was one of the wealthiest among the divine spirits. The Guanghan Palace where she lived was much more luxurious than the Sun God’s Divine Palace.

However, those mundane treasures were of no interest to Dongfang Yao; he was only interested in things that Su’e wouldn’t part with easily, so he asked for a temporary loan instead.

Su’e was conflicted. The Primordial Chaos Bead was a precious treasure from the dawn of creation. What if Dongfang Yao borrowed it and refused to return it?

Still, information about the Path of Time was essential. Su’e steeled her heart and took out the Primordial Chaos Bead.

She teased Dongfang Yao as if it was an aside, "If you wanted to borrow the Primordial Chaos Bead, you just had to say so. It’s a minor matter. After all, you, the great Sun God, couldn’t possibly fail to return it to me."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

It was supposed to be a fair trade, yet the way he put it, Lin Yun came off as a stingy ghost, unwilling to exchange even a piece of information.

But he knew all too well, without offering Su’e some advantage, there was absolutely no chance of borrowing the Primordial Chaos Bead from her.

This woman was too shrewd.

Dongfang Yao felt he couldn’t outwit her, so he gave up trying to argue and simply said, "A sword flew out from the river of time, wounded me, and then entered the spacetime. I feel it’s flowing downstream, yet it also seems to be moving upstream."

Dongfang Yao didn’t hide any part of this information.

He was the Sun God, noble and dignified.

But to Su’e, his words were simply preposterous.

The river of time, it’s an ethereal and abstract concept—it objectively exists, yet remains untouchable.

And now, Dongfang Yao was telling her there’s a sword in the river that even stabbed him.

Could you believe that?

Moreover, Dongfang Yao claimed he couldn’t distinguish whether it was flowing with the current or against it, which was even more outrageous.

At the moment, both she and Dongfang Yao possessed a portion of the power of time. With their divine powers, they could only move downstream in the river of time; the thought of moving upstream was unimaginable.

They could project themselves into the future, but only up to a maximum of seven days ahead, and their projections wouldn’t last long—perhaps only long enough to utter a few words.

This ability was quite underwhelming, really.

What’s the use of appearing in the future if I could just see the future directly and make preparations in advance?

However, because Dongfang Yao spoke with such conviction about something so preposterous, Su’e started to somewhat believe that his outrageous claim was true.

"Looks like the Path of Time we comprehended before might not be correct."

They had contemplated the Path of Time for hundreds of thousands of years. The appearance of a sword today had completely invalidated their understanding over these years.

But this might not be a bad thing; at least it pointed them in a new direction.

The reversal of time might not be impossible after all.

Of course, this realization was not something to be shared lightly with others.

"Don’t speak of today’s events," Su’e commanded before tossing the Primordial Chaos Bead and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The gods were all very decisive—arriving when they wished and departing just as quickly, without a trace of hesitation.

Dongfang Yao snorted coldly, displeased with Su’e’s reminder.

Do I look like a fool? Would I blabber about it?

Unbeknownst to him, the blood in his body had become completely controlled by Lin Yun. With each circulation of his blood, Lin Yun gained more allies, and now they were all aligned with no room for increase.

Having taken control of all Dongfang Yao’s blood, Lin Yun unlocked more functions. He could sense Dongfang Yao’s inner thoughts, and more than that, he could even manipulate Dongfang Yao’s divine power.

In other words, Dongfang Yao’s life and death might already be in his hands at this moment.

Of course, Dongfang Yao was a Divine Spirit, and perhaps he could still survive without a body...

Lin Yun didn’t have any intention to try; forcing Dongfang Yao to commit suicide seemed too low and came with risks. Thinking about how his method of invasion resembled that of a Heart Demon, Lin Yun got another inspiration.

Since he resembled a Heart Demon and could feel Dongfang Yao’s emotions and inner voice, why not pretend to be a Heart Demon and converse with Dongfang Yao?

No, according to the timeline, Dongfang Yao has just borrowed the Primordial Chaos Bead, which means the Great Mist hasn’t died yet, Twilight of the Gods hasn’t begun, and the invasion by the Demon Race hasn’t started; they probably don’t even have the concept of Heart Demons at this time.

This way, he might be even less prepared for it.

The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more amusing it seemed. So, he tried speaking inside Dongfang Yao’s body.

"Su’e, that wretched woman, always so insincere and strange. I need to find an opportunity to outsmart her."

This move, ah, this move is called Eclipse Sun Swallow Moon.

Whether this is a dream or reality doesn’t matter—I can devise a plan without any issues.

This statement didn’t arouse Dongfang Yao’s suspicions; he simply thought it was indeed his own thinking, as Su’e truly irritated him.

"There must be an insider traitor; otherwise, how would Su’e know I was injured?"

Lin Yun added another line in his mind, which Dongfang Yao still took for his own thoughts.

He hadn’t considered it before but now believed it to be a stroke of genius.

"Not many know of my injury, only her..."

Quickly zeroing in on the suspect, Dongfang Yao was ready to eliminate that maidservant.

But Lin Yun began analyzing for him again.

"If Su’e dares to show up outright, it means she no longer cares about this pawn. Killing her wouldn’t be very meaningful. Rather, we should use this fact to turn her to our advantage!"

The more Dongfang Yao thought about it, the more he felt it made perfect sense. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Why am I so brilliant today?

Lin Yun: "..."

Are the brains of this generation of gods a little lacking?
