The man then led the way, taking Ye Yun and Xing Wu to arrange their accommodation.
He left the bewildered crowd behind, exchanging confused glances with each other.
Faintly, they could still hear the heart of the weathered old man shattering into pieces of glass…
Everything they had witnessed today was too shocking, and they found it hard to accept!
"That guy… Lord Xing Wu has always been the goddess I worshipped!!!"
"Who doesn't? How could the Empress fall for someone like him?"
"A former goddess now loves someone from the Heavenly Domain, truly a sin…"
Several elders of the Abyss clan grumbled to each other, filled with unwillingness but also helplessness.
Judging by their interactions, they seemed to have cultivated together, enjoying an intimate relationship!
This made them, who viewed Xing Wu as their former goddess, feel a strange sense of being cuckolded.
In the end, all they could do was sigh.
"Damn it, I'm going back to drink ten pounds of wine today, and I won't stop until I'm drunk!"
Ye Yao, standing beside them, couldn't help but feel amused by the elders' state.
However, she could also somewhat understand their feelings.
The thought of that woman having cultivated with her master at some point made her heart inexplicably unhappy…
To the point where she herself was a bit confused.
"What's going on… why am I… am I jealous of Senior Xing Wu? What is happening…"
Ye Yao felt unaccustomed to the changes in her state of mind…
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yun and Xing Wu were settled into a not-so-large house within the outpost.
In fact, throughout the entire territory of the Abyss clan, there wasn't a single decent residence to be found, so they had to make do.
As Xing Wu put it, wherever her husband was, that was the perfect home, and she had no complaints.
Inside the house, on the bed.
They sat separately, discussing some of the things that had happened to Ye Yun on his way here.
Upon learning that Ye Yun had indeed encountered the so-called Pseudo-Emperor-level Void Beasts, Xing Wu was truly surprised.
"I didn't expect that rumor to be true…"
After all, Pseudo-Emperor level strength, if brought to the Heavenly Domain, could sweep through it and be invincible in the world.
Ye Yun shrugged and said, "Yeah, so I don't know if I should call it good luck or bad luck."
"If I hadn't met a strange woman in the end, I probably wouldn't have seen you."
Xing Wu sighed softly and said slowly.
"The origin of the Void Sea is mysterious, and even I have limited understanding of it. It likely hides many things…"
After speaking, she suddenly looked up and asked.
"By the way, do you remember what that strange woman you mentioned looked like?"
"Of course, I remember."
Ye Yun answered casually, and then Xing Wu raised an eyebrow.
"So, was she good-looking?"
"Naturally!"
Ye Yun replied just as casually.
Then, he froze.
Xing Wu stared at him suspiciously, her gaze seeming to say, you remember quite clearly?
Ye Yun coughed lightly and said.
"I say, you're setting a trap."
"This is called deepening understanding."
Xing Wu raised an eyebrow, then smiled again.
"Alright, it was a joke. It's enough that you're alright."
After speaking, she looked Ye Yun up and down and sighed.
"Your cultivation speed is still so terrifying, and you have so many top-tier immortal artifacts."
"It seems you've had many great encounters during my absence."
Her own rapid improvement was about recovering her strength.
But this guy, his cultivation speed was almost catching up to her recovery speed.
Regarding this, Ye Yun's explanation was still the same.
"Alas, it's all luck, just good luck."
After all, being able to obtain such a high rate of return was indeed luck, and he wasn't lying.
Xing Wu chuckled lightly, gazing at him, and said.
"You, my dear, are like the legendary Son of Destiny, gathering the fate of heaven and earth. It couldn't be more fitting."
"Looking at it now, my judgment in choosing people back then was indeed excellent…"
This explanation left Ye Yun helpless, yet he couldn't find any words to refute it.
Indeed, his journey had been so smooth, as if someone was pushing him from behind.
Could it be the merit accumulated in his previous life?
However, Ye Yun didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, and decisively used the topic-shifting technique to ask.
"Let's talk about business. I remember those guys mentioning some trouble in the entire Heavenly Domain, what was that?"
Although he had many questions, this was what Ye Yun cared about the most right now.
Judging by what those people said, the Heavenly Domain seemed to be in some big trouble, and he couldn't help but be concerned.
Hearing this, Xing Wu fell silent for a moment, as if deliberating whether to tell Ye Yun.
"You… are sure you want to hear?"
Xing Wu asked for confirmation. Ye Yun shrugged.
"Usually, when someone says that, it's inappropriate if I don't say I want to hear."
Ye Yun then chuckled and said, "Just tell me. Even if you told me the world was ending, I could accept it."
Of course, this was just him using exaggerated rhetoric.
However, after pondering, Xing Wu nodded and said.
"Yes, it is indeed the end of the world…"
"…"
Ye Yun was stunned and looked at her steadily, saying.
"What do you mean by that?"
The end of the world, suddenly spoken of, felt somewhat like a joke.
But Xing Wu's expression looked exceptionally serious.
To Ye Yun's confusion, she sighed and slowly explained.
"More than ten thousand years ago, someone obtained an original prophecy that foretold the fate of the Heavenly Domain ten thousand years later."
"The Heavenly Domain would be completely destroyed one day in ten thousand years due to external factors."
These two sentences completely baffled Ye Yun.
"There's such an absurd prophecy? Is it really credible?"
Xing Wu nodded, speaking with absolute certainty.
"The original prophecy was not the result of any individual's conclusion, but rather something nurtured by the laws of heaven. Its credibility is extremely high."
"It is almost certain that something catastrophic will happen on the day of the prophecy."
Hearing this, Ye Yun fell silent.
After a short while, he asked again.
"What about the timing? Is it certain when it will happen?"
Xing Wu pondered slightly and gave her answer.
"If it completely follows the prophecy, then it will erupt in a thousand years."
Ye Yun frowned and couldn't help but say.
"According to you, is it possible that it won't follow the prophecy's course?"
"That's right. In fact, the moment the prophecy was known, it meant that the future would undergo some changes."
Xing Wu said calmly, "So, the specific time will only be known when the disaster truly erupts."
Ye Yun mused, then continued to ask.
"Then… is there anything more specific? For example, what factors might lead to the destruction of the Heavenly Domain?"
Xing Wu shook her head and said slowly.
"The prophecy is very vague. It only mentions that it seems to be related to our Abyss clan, and to the gods who disappeared overnight in the Age of Gods."
