The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 689 - 197: Above the Moon

As the Outer Realm turned into outer space, Lin Yun couldn’t help but feel a bit out of play, while also letting his imagination run wild.

Could the destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court be akin to the extinction of dinosaurs, wiped out by a catastrophic disaster that came with a comet hitting Earth?

And the upcoming war between Demons and Gods, could it be like an alien invasion?

This idea surprisingly made some sense!

Of course, the Divine Spirits in this world seemed somewhat weaker to Lin Yun, but in reality, they were quite strong.

Unlike in other novels where Divine Spirits picked stars and plucked moons as easily as drinking water and eating food, the Sun God here still had to pay attention to the sun’s mood when cultivating, but they could still traverse the stars, stepping once, twice, thrice, and they would be on the moon.

From afar, the moon appeared as a silver disc, and Lin Yun thought that as he got closer, he would see something different.

However, when they reached below the moon, it was still just a larger silver disc.

This moon wasn’t the moon that Lin Yun had in mind, but rather seemed like an aggregation of a silver-white sphere of light.

It was only after sneaking a peek at Dongfang Yao’s thoughts did Lin Yun realize that outer space was not yet considered the Outer Realm; one must cross the moon to reach it.

The moon was the source of Tai Yin, governing changes in space and time, and it was also the gateway between this world and the Outer Realm.

Fused with Moon Godhood, Su’e felt the Divine Power within her become much more active as she approached the moon, but the excess activity instead caused some unrest in her heart.

She always felt as though a secret that made her heart palpitate was hidden within this enormous moon.

Such a feeling of palpitations was precisely what drove her to practice relentlessly.

She and Dongfang Yao were both at the absolute pinnacle in the world.

With a variety of creatures in the world, Divine Spirits were the most noble and powerful among them, and she was part of the most elite group of Divine Spirits. In the eyes of mortals, Divine Spirits represented strength, while believers considered them omnipotent.

In reality, the higher she stood, the more insignificant Su’e felt.

Perhaps, Dongfang Yao felt the same way?

Dongfang Yao didn’t feel anything special towards the moon, and knowing how to go to the Outer Realm, he directly stepped into it.

"I can absorb Chaos Qi already, what’s there to be afraid of in a mere Outer Realm!"

Su’e: "..."

A headstrong man is not fit for strategizing.

But upon seeing Dongfang Yao go first, she hurried to follow, and in a blink, both were swallowed by the silver-white light. Tai Bai remained behind, not immediately stepping into the moon but looking instead at a drop of golden blood in her hand.

"The Sun God’s Divine Power isn’t so strong as to require distraction, how did you develop self-awareness within his body?"

When he appeared in Tai Bai’s hand, Lin Yun knew he was exposed.

Indeed, the glance from Tai Bai back then was not without aim; she had indeed noticed him but waited until this moment to act, truly a cautious deity.

Lin Yun dared not underestimate this Tai Bai; having come from the future, he was even more aware of her prowess.

After the Twilight Era of the Gods, when the deities fell, of the Divine Emperors of The Four Great Divine Nations, only Tai Bai was truly alive; the others were in a state of being dead but not completely so.

Just this alone was enough to show how formidable Tai Bai was.

He had hidden within Dongfang Yao, and neither Dongfang Yao nor Su’e had noticed, but Tai Bai realized something was off upon arrival. How terrifying this person was!

However, it seemed she thought he had formed naturally within Dongfang Yao’s body, and she accidentally revealed an important piece of information.

Divine Power must be split once it reaches a certain level?

What exactly is this division about?

Lin Yun hadn’t heard about this from Qian Qian, so he noted it for now; it probably concerned some high-end secrets. Dongfang Yao, recognized as the first among Divine Spirits, wasn’t even at a level to split in Tai Bai’s eyes; it was reasonable that Qian Qian didn’t know.

Since Tai Bai misunderstood, Lin Yun went along with it and pretended naturally.

The drop of golden blood quickly expanded and transformed into the size of a normal person, grew a head and limbs, and lastly skin and features manifested.

Tai Bai remain unfazed at the sight of Lin Yun’s nudity, while Lin Yun himself felt somewhat embarrassed, quickly using his blood energy to form a set of red clothes to cover himself.

"I thought you had just developed your own self-awareness, but to think you have already reached such a level; could it be that Dongfang Yao is already striving for that supreme realm?"

Tai Bai was astonished to see that Lin Yun even felt shame.

Lin Yun could only spread his hands and said, "I don’t know about that... After all, I too have only just awakened not long ago."

"I wasn’t asking you..."

Tai Bai spoke somewhat exasperatedly, she had clearly been thinking out loud and did not expect Lin Yun to respond so earnestly, he was quite simple.

But this was understandable. Given his recent awakening and lack of exposure to the outside world, he was still like a naive child, probably having never interacted with people before.

With this thought, Tai Bai’s attitude towards Lin Yun softened a lot, and she decided to move past the previous conversation, asking, "How long have you been awake?"

Any intelhsigent deity definitely wouldn’t answer her question, since it involved their own secrets. Why would they tell another?

With Tai Bai’s means, she could use the length of Lin Yun’s awakening to infer the power level of Dongfang Yao and also Lin Yun’s abilities.

However, Lin Yun was now a newborn god with little experience.

To him, Tai Bai was like a strange aunt luring a naive young boy.

"I’ve been awake for about a month," he replied.

As Tai Bai had hoped, Lin Yun revealed the duration of his awakening and even provided some additional information.

"I suddenly felt my existence at some point, but at that time, I could only exist inside ’myself.’ It wasn’t until one day, when a sword pierced ’my’ body, that I escaped from the body."

Lin Yun said with an innocent face.

I’m so adorably clueless, I must look very trustworthy, right?

Who would doubt the words of a newborn?

Plus, Lin Yun mixed a lot of truth in with the lies, like the fact that Dongfang Yao really was stabbed.

The Moon God had received the message, so of course, Tai Bai had heard about it too.

"Can you tell me about the incident where Dongfang Yao got injured?"

Tai Bai was curious about this.

She only knew that Dongfang Yao was injured but didn’t know who had done it.

Among the Divine Spirits, there were not many who had the strength to inflict such injury, and those who did wouldn’t make a move lightly. Once they acted, it was to decide victory or defeat, life or death. They wouldn’t, as now, hurt someone without finishing them off.

"The incident of the injury was brief. It happened when ’I’ was comprehending the Great Dao of Time. A sword, from nowhere I knew and to nowhere I could tell, passed by the place of cultivation and gave a stab."

Tai Bai: "..."

So Dongfang Yao was just sitting at home when a sword fell from the sky?

What kind of divine luck is that?

Since it involved the Path of Time, Tai Bai didn’t dare ask further, but cryptically said, "Time is the true forbidden path. If Dongfang Yao dares to meddle with time, he will inevitably die by it sooner or later."

Lin Yun didn’t continue the conversation. According to his current persona, he still considered Dongfang Yao as himself.

Tai Bai noticed this and reminded him, "Although you were born from within Dongfang Yao, now that you have your own consciousness, you are a new Divine Spirit. From now on, you are yourself, and Dongfang Yao is Dongfang Yao. Don’t keep thinking you are him, or you won’t be able to escape an ending where you’re consumed by the life and death path."

Having obtained the information from Lin Yun, Tai Bai gave him a little warning, as a way of repaying him for answering her questions and perhaps, to form a good connection.

"They might have been waiting over there for a while now, so I’ll be going ahead. Now that you can stand on your own independent of Dongfang Yao, just go your own way from now on!"

Having said that, Tai Bai stepped onto the moon and disappeared.

Of course, Lin Yun knew that Dongfang Yao and Su’e were getting impatient waiting.

Right now, he was multitasking, pretending to be an adorable newbie to deceive Tai Bai while simultaneously acting as a Heart Demon, enticing Dongfang Yao.

Uh, I feel like a schemer behind the scenes.

After Tai Bai strode over the moon and met with the Sun and Moon Gods, she didn’t explain why she waited so long before crossing the moon and simply led the way ahead. Dongfang Yao didn’t ask, but Lin Yun knew that suspicion had taken root in his mind.

Dongfang Yao was straightforward, but not dumb.

He and Su’e had a certain tacit understanding, cautiously guarding against Tai Bai but still following behind her.

No matter what Tai Bai’s intentions were, the two of them combined should be able to handle it.

On their journey, they encountered no danger. The Outer Realm was not much different from the outer space they had just been in, only darker, without the sight of stars everywhere, giving off a sense of desolation.

Lin Yun, turned from blood, only stepped into the moonlight after the three gods had walked far away.

Having already experienced it once through Dongfang Yao’s senses, the moon was a portal that allowed one to stride through, from the Inner Domain to the Outer Realm.

However, as Lin Yun stepped in, he stepped through the sphere of light and found himself plummeting rapidly through emptiness, an experience wholly different from that of Dongfang Yao and the others. Lin Yun could only be on guard, but in an instant, he landed on solid ground, his foot stepping onto the pitch-black soil.

"Where is this? Have I landed on the moon?"

Lin Yun looked toward the blue planet in the distance and vaguely guessed, while Dongfang Yao and Su’e had not landed here, only he had, which clearly made this place special.

"Since I’m here, might as well leave a mark before I leave." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This was like landing on the moon, and Lin Yun couldn’t help but want to plant a flag. Yet having none, carving "was here" seemed too tacky.

In such a moment and scenery, one ought to compose a poem.

Lin Yun, carried away with enthusiasm, formed a sword with his fingers and etched a line on the ground.

"The mica screen in the candlelight is deep..."

Hey, that’s not right!

Lin Yun suddenly snapped out of it. Even if he was swept up in the urge to write poetry, why this particular verse? When he saw this poem at the Moon God Ruins, he kept wondering if there might be a time-traveler. Logically, if he had really come to this era, with so many poems to copy, he would avoid this one without specific reason.

Yet, he got carried away just now.

He wrote one line before suddenly waking up with a start.

There was definitely something off about this place.

As this realization hit him, he heard an ethereal sigh.

"Now that you’re here, why not finish writing before you leave?"

ps: Yesterday I was planning on giving a burst of updates, I didn’t mean to trick you into voting. But late at night, my girlfriend suddenly wanted my company, which is why I didn’t finish writing the update.

There will be more today.
