Myth Beyond Heaven



1757 Proving Oneself (1)

"Different?" Yun Lintian spoke calmly. "Speaking about the difference, I didn't expect the master of this place to be like this either."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea under Hongyue's watchful gaze.

Yao Huang smiled and asked. "You're not afraid that I would poison you at all?"

"Did you?" Yun Lintian responded as he set the teacup down.

The two stared at each other briefly before Yao Huang broke the silence. "While you are inheriting his power, both of you are entirely different. I can see that the drive behind your ambition comes from the people around you and a desire to live a peaceful life."

"You wouldn't believe it if I said we have the same goal."

"Don't make me laugh." Master Bai interjected. "If you wanted peace, why would you want to leave this place in the first place?"

"Because it is the only way to achieve true peace." Yao Huang replied calmly. 

Master Bai wanted to say "bullshit," but he refrained from doing so when he noticed Yao Huang's serious expression.

"True peace?" Hongyue pursed her lips. "I can see that you have lived for over a million years, and yet you believe true peace exists?"

Yao Huang looked at Hongyue and shook his head slightly. "In your eyes, peace is nothing but an illusory concept that doesn't exist in reality. However, to me, it is an attainable goal."

"However, I'm not surprised why you don't believe it. There are many things you don't know."

"Why don't you tell us then?" Yun Lintian asked.

Yao Huang glanced at Yao Jie, and the latter quickly raised his hand, erecting an isolating barrier.

Yao Huang looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "Before going there, I would like to ask you a question. Do you know why the Beyond Heaven King chose to leave the Dark Pearl here?"

Yun Lintian thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know. Perhaps it was because of the environment here."

At the same time, Yun Lintian noticed a hint of respect in Yao Huang's tone when he spoke about the Beyond Heaven King.

Yao Huang looked at Master Bai on Yun Lintian's head. "You have visited this place before. Have you noticed the difference?"

Master Bai frowned slightly and said. "The dark element here is significantly richer. What exactly are you trying to say?"

Yao Huang smiled faintly and said. "Then, why do you think it has become richer?"

"The Dark Pearl." Hongyue suddenly spoke.

"Yes," Yao Huang nodded. "Without the Dark Pearl, we will never be able to break the seal, and I will never recover."

The expressions of everyone in Yun Lintian's group turned serious. They couldn't understand the reason behind the Beyond Heaven King's action of placing the Dark Pearl here... Why would he want to help these devils?

Master Bai recalled a past memory when he came here with the Beyond Heaven King. At that time, he asked Yun Tian about it, but the answer he got was that the environment here was suitable for the Dark Pearl. However, it clearly wasn't the case.

Yao Huang looked at everyone and continued speaking. "Maybe it's because my people here have left a bad impression on everyone, leading you to subconsciously believe we are enemies. In fact, we are not."

Master Bai and Hongyue couldn't refute this. When it came to devils, they would always think of them as enemies first.

"What is his purpose for placing the Dark Pearl here then?" Yun Lintian asked directly.

"Of course. It's to set everyone here free." Yao Huang replied calmly. "When he arrived here, he possessed enough strength to kill everyone but chose not to do so. On the contrary, he approached us and made an agreement."

"While the Dark Pearl allows us to regain our freedom, we have to cooperate with his successor in dealing with the foreign enemy."

"No one can prove it." Master Bai spoke.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The fact that he placed the Dark Pearl here will never change." Yao Huang said expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't you return the Dark Pearl to its rightful owner? If that were the case." Hongyue said coldly.

"I'm sorry. There is no agreement about that." Yao Huang said.

He looked at Yun Lintian and continued speaking. "Furthermore, the Dark Pearl is more beneficial for me. You, who always rely on the legacy left behind, are too weak. It would be a waste if the Dark Pearl were to fall into your hands."

"That is not something you can decide." Hongyue's face turned cold.

"Then prove it." Yao Huang smiled faintly. "Prove that you are worthy of the Dark Pearl."

"Heh." Master Bai sneered. "Don't tell me you want him to fight against you?"

"I can suppress my strength." Yao Huang said confidently.

His answer made Hongyue and Master Bai frown deeply. In terms of strength, they had confidence in Yun Lintian. Especially when he faced an enemy in the same realm... But why did they feel something was off when they saw Yao Huang's confident demeanor?

"There is no need to prove." Xian An suddenly spoke, capturing everyone's attention. 

"We can grab it directly."

Her aura slowly emanated from her body, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Jin Long didn't say anything, but the expression in his eyes explained everything. He pretty much agreed with Xian An on this one.

During this period, both of them secretly investigated everything in this area and found only four early-level lesser gods, including Yao Jie and Yao Huang.

It wasn't a problem for Jin Long and Xian An to deal with them.

Yao Huang glanced at Xian An and said. "You are indeed strong, but this is my territory."

As he spoke, the surrounding dark aura began to stir, and an overwhelming sense of terror immediately descended upon everyone.

Xian An raised her eyebrows, ready to make a move, but she was stopped by Yun Lintian first.

"Calm down." Yun Lintian looked at Yao Huang and said. "I can prove it. However, it would be meaningless to bet on the Dark Pearl alone. How about increasing the stakes?"

"You say." Yao Huang looked at Yun Lintian with a smile.

"If I win, all of you here will have to serve me unconditionally for a thousand years. That includes you." Yun Lintian spoke. "I will do the same if you win."

"No!" Hongyue and Master Bai quickly said in unison.

"Trust me." Yun Lintian calmed them down.

He looked at Yao Huang and asked. "Do you dare?"
