God…
This word was not unfamiliar to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun frowned and asked, "Don't tell me the disappeared gods are returning to the mortal world to destroy the Heavenly Domain, right?"
Based on many plotlines he knew, this possibility was not impossible.
However, Xing Wu did not confirm.
"That is uncertain. All we know is that the destruction of the Heavenly Domain must be connected to the gods."
"Right, and also the Divine City…"
These latter words directly caught Ye Yun's attention.
"Divine City? You know about the Divine City?"
Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly inquired.
His reaction surprised Xing Wu somewhat.
"You know it too?"
"Uh, I've only heard the name, but nothing else."
"I see…"
Xing Wu nodded and then said.
"However, I've only occasionally seen this word in some ancient texts from the Age of Gods."
"I only know that the Divine City seemed to be a place the gods revered, similar to something they believed in."
"There are no other records."
After all, it was too distant, and much information seemed to have been deliberately erased. Even she had few ways to find out.
However, her words made Ye Yun fall into thought.
"So, that's what the Divine City is…"
Ever since he met that mysterious woman in Haiyue Immortal City.
He had heard the words "Divine City" from her, along with a strange phrase.
"A thousand days from now, the Heavenly Domain will collapse in the abyss, and the gates of the ancient Divine City will open. I await the master's return to the divine seat."
Ye Yun had been completely bewildered at the time, but now, looking back at that sentence, it had a certain intrigue.
A thousand days from now, the Heavenly Domain will collapse in the abyss, doesn't that mean the Heavenly Domain will be occupied by the Abyss race?
The gates of the ancient Divine City will open?
This statement also implied a return…
And the last sentence made Ye Yun's mind wander.
"Could it be that I am the ruler of the Divine City?"
But then he thought it was unlikely. He wasn't a native here, but a transmigrator.
It was unlikely he had any connection to the ancient Divine City.
So, the latter half remained somewhat unclear…
Originally, Ye Yun had intended to inform Xing Wu about this prophecy and analyze it together.
However, as soon as he was about to speak, an extremely nauseating feeling surged in his mind. When he stopped thinking about it, the feeling disappeared.
"What the heck… I can't say it?"
Ye Yun was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Just then, Xing Wu noticed his anomaly and asked with a frown.
"What's wrong? What can't you say?"
"Uh…"
Ye Yun snapped back to reality and quickly shook his head.
"No, it's nothing. I just remembered something from before…"
Since he couldn't say it, Ye Yun didn't force it.
Seeing Xing Wu looking suspicious, he quickly changed the subject.
"Right, let's get back to that prophecy. If even the Heavenly Dao believes we're doomed, can we still be saved?"
Fortunately, Xing Wu didn't pry.
She smiled and said, "Of course, there's still hope. It's a prophecy, not a prediction, and besides, we know about it in advance."
"As long as we respond actively, even if the gods truly want us dead, I believe the brilliance of humanity will eventually triumph over the will of the gods!"
It was clear that Xing Wu had great confidence in humanity itself.
Of course, Ye Yun felt the same way.
It was precisely in times of desperation that the weak beings known as humans could unleash unexpected power.
However, Ye Yun still had many doubts.
"If that's the case, why not inform everyone of this disaster in advance?"
Xing Wu let out a light snort and said indignantly.
"Naturally, it's the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall causing trouble, completely blocking the news."
"They believe that such news would cause chaos in the Heavenly Domain, and that knowing of their impending doom would incite the evil within human nature."
"Therefore, it's enough to keep those uninvolved in a false bubble of happiness."
In terms of strength, she was indeed not much inferior to them before.
But in terms of control over the Heavenly Domain, the other party was far superior to her.
Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded slightly.
"Actually, this action has some logic to it."
"To truly achieve bringing civilization to the ages, it's difficult to implement in this world of the strong preying on the weak."
"Of course, her actions themselves have some issues…"
Hearing his words, Xing Wu snorted.
"This world is inherently about survival of the fittest. Only through change and disaster can there be a true chance to survive."
"Blindly evading will only lead to a more tragic death in the end!"
It was evident that she held a strong conviction in this regard.
Ye Yun nodded, then thought for a moment and asked.
"So, because of this, the right to know about the disaster is restricted to True Saints and above?"
"No…"
Xing Wu shook her head instead.
Then she revealed a truth that surprised Ye Yun.
"Strictly speaking, most True Saints and True Immortals are also largely unaware of the truth of this original prophecy."
"The intelligence they mostly possess is that our Abyss race intends to destroy the Heavenly Domain, and therefore they must exert all their resources and power to resist our Abyss race!"
"The Hall Master uses this as an excuse to continuously gather the Heavenly Domain's resources and power, ostensibly to resist us from the Abyss."
"In reality, it is to prepare for the disaster that will inevitably descend later…"
After hearing her explanation, even Ye Yun was shocked.
"Good heavens, she's planned quite well…"
"Yes, I have to commend her on this point."
Xing Wu sneered and slowly narrated.
"If the opponent is clearly identified as an alien race, then everyone will cultivate with high morale."
"But if the enemy is unclear, and might even be a god, then many with weak wills would likely fall into despair or even madness…"
Ye Yun nodded.
Indeed, at any time, the most terrifying enemy is always the unknown…
Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then looked at Xing Wu and asked.
"So, what's the deal between you and your sister? Don't tell me you're fighting each other because of ideological differences?"
"Sister?"
Xing Wu's eyebrows immediately shot up as she gazed at Ye Yun.
"How do you know about this? Did Feng Ba Po tell you?"
Feng Ba Po…
Ye Yun's mouth twitched. This should refer to Feng Qingxian.
He wondered how she would react if she heard this nickname…
Then, Ye Yun quickly explained.
"It wasn't her who said it. I met your sister."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Xing Wu's gaze became much sharper.
After this, Ye Yun recounted his encounter with Xing Lian in detail.
After listening, Xing Wu looked at him with some surprise.
"I didn't expect you to survive something like that. Was it luck again?"
"Cough, yes and no…"
