Lin Yitong calmly looked at everyone's expectant expressions and spoke. "No. He is dead."
"From what I know, no one has ever seen his body. Why are you so sure, senior?" Jin Long asked further.
"I know it's a bit disappointing, but I have my own way. He couldn't be more dead." Lin Yitong replied gently. "However, his legacy lives on in his successor."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Lin Yitong's response was somewhat ambiguous and unsatisfying, but they could do nothing except accept it.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment before speaking. "We've met another senior before. She is a true god."
"Are you talking about the Orchid Immortal from the Nine Heavens Realm?" Lin Yitong responded. "If we count generations, she is three generations younger than me."
It wasn't that Lin Yitong wanted to assert her seniority but rather to make it clearer for Yun Lintian and the others.
Yun Lintian and the others were stunned. They didn't expect Lin Yitong to be significantly older than Lan Qinghe.

"She told me that I am a fate bearer. Can Senior tell me about this?" Yun Lintian asked.
"She is not wrong. You are indeed a fate bearer." Lin Yitong replied. "From the start, you were supposed to have a normal life, but something happened to Yun Tian, and now you have inherited his fate."
"He was supposed to be the one to fight for his own destiny, but due to his flaws, he had to change his ways. You happened to be the perfect inheritor for him. In short, you were pulled into this pool of destiny."
"After billions of years, the Divine Realm finally established a new set of laws and regained stability. But as everyone knows, it can only accommodate a god emperor and a few lower gods. Otherwise, the Divine Realm's laws will become unstable, and the realm will be vulnerable to outsiders again."
"What Yun Tian and others, like the Primordial Azure Dragon God, attempted in the past was to safeguard the Divine Realm from external threats. They did their best to uphold the stability of the Divine Realm and buy enough time for the people here."
"Ironically, they were constrained by the laws of the Divine Realm, making it difficult for them to resist any invaders. Fortunately, they managed to repel the invaders, extending a precious period of peace for everyone."
She paused briefly to look at Yun Lintian and then continued. "After Yun Tian, Ren Yuan, an inheritor of the Heavenly Desolate God, made every effort to maintain the stability of the realm."
"He was fully aware that he did not have the strength to protect the Divine Realm by himself. That was why he wanted to seize Yun Tian's inheritance."
Hongyue frowned slightly as she interrupted. "Are you suggesting he is a good person who did his best to protect the Divine Realm?"
Lin Yitong smiled as she replied. "What is good and what is evil? Everything depends on your perspective. To you, he might be perceived as a villain for killing a hero like Yun Tian. But to his people, he is a hero who saved them from oppression."
"There is no absolute right or wrong in this matter. However, his intention is clear. He wants to protect the Divine Realm from an external enemy. This intention stemmed from the Heavenly Desolate God's legacy."
Hongyue went silent for a moment and then said, "I don't care about that. The fact that he killed me and the people around me will never change."
Lin Yitong offered no comment on this matter.
Yun Lintian fell into contemplation. In his opinion, the Beyond Heaven King and Ren Yuan had a huge difference in the motive behind their common goal.
The Beyond Heaven King was selfless. He didn't care about gains and losses as long as the Divine Realm was safe from the invaders.
Ren Yuan was standing opposite. He did it mostly for himself.
There was truly no absolute right or wrong here…
