Myth Beyond Heaven

The revelation from the Scholar God stunned everyone present.

"Someone has tampered with time? What do you mean, brother?" The War God inquired quickly.

"This is merely speculation," the Scholar God began after a brief ponder. "It seems we've arrived in an alternate timeline where historical events have diverged significantly... Someone brought us here for a specific purpose. I cannot determine it yet, but it must be connected to the young man from earlier."

"Him?" The War God remained confused.

The God of Valor seemed to grasp something, speaking out, "His mastery over the elements is... unusual. It bears a resemblance to..."

The expressions of the War God and the other gods shifted dramatically upon hearing this.

"How can it be...?" The War God murmured, stunned.

"What course of action should we take, brother?" The God of Valor inquired of the Scholar God, his expression solemn.

The Scholar God fell silent for a moment before responding, "Did you catch his final question? The Soul Scepter and the Tome of Chaos appear to exist here as well."

"You mean...?" The God of Valor's realization dawned. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"They must be here," the Scholar God declared, raising his head to gaze upon the paintings of two figures adorning the wall. "I never anticipated them to be alive."

A heavy silence descended upon the God of Valor and the others. The information bombarded them, leaving them momentarily incapable of comprehension.

The Scholar God surveyed everyone, then spoke, "Regardless, our duty remains unchanged. We must protect this gateway with our very lives."

As the white light dissipated, Yun Lintian found himself standing before the tower's entrance. His appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow deeply, attempting to process the information he'd just received. It was so confusing, he couldn't even make sense of it.

"Lintian," Yun Huanxin and the others reached his side, their gazes filled with curiosity.

Yun Lintian snapped back to his senses and turned to face them. "I'm alright."

"How was it?" Yun Huanxin inquired.

Yun Lintian hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a bit complicated. I'll explain it later. However, I wouldn't recommend attempting it."

He turned to address the crowd. "The trial tests your limits. However, there's a very high chance of death. So, the choice is yours."

With that, Yun Lintian walked away with his companions.

The burly man and the other practitioners exchanged glances, their expressions filled with doubt. They struggled to make a decision.

"I forfeit," the burly man declared, turning to leave.

Seeing this, the remaining practitioners followed suit, decisively withdrawing and leaving the area. The risk no longer seemed worth it.

Yun Lintian sought out a secluded spot and slowly began to share his experience with everyone.

"Ten gods... that created the God Tomb?" Han Bingling furrowed her brow, confusion etched on her face.

Tang Yumei and Tang Wei exchanged bewildered glances. This was entirely new information to them, something they had never encountered before.

"Honestly," Yun Lintian said, taking a deep breath, "I can't distinguish truth from fiction anymore. There's just too much out there. Different sources offer conflicting information, making it incredibly difficult to discern the truth."

A tense silence descended upon the group following Yun Lintian's confession. The weight of the revelation hung heavy in the air.

"What do we do now?" Yun Huanxin finally broke the silence, her voice barely a whisper.

Yun Lintian scanned the worried and uncertain faces around him. "We continue," he declared firmly. "Our objective remains unchanged. These revelations, no matter how unbelievable, cannot alter our course."

He turned to the Tang siblings. "I'll need your help. Please guide us to the heart of the God Tomb."

"Consider it done," Tang Wei patted his chest confidently.

Though confused, Tang Yumei raised no objections. Her curiosity regarding Yun Lintian's purpose for coming here gnawed at her.

After a brief rest, Yun Lintian's group resumed their journey, heading towards the next region. They encountered various trials and formidable beasts along the way, but they bypassed them entirely, their focus fixed on reaching the third region.

Soon, Yun Lintian's group arrived at a massive bridge seemingly constructed from light. It stretched over a kilometer long, with a width exceeding a hundred meters.

Yun Lintian scanned the area, spotting a throng of thousands gathered at the bridge.

"We need to pass a trial here to reach the next region," Tang Wei explained.

"What kind of trial is it?" Yun Lintian inquired.

"It's largely random," Tang Wei replied. "The last time I crossed, I faced a powerful specter."

"A specter?" Yun Lintian exclaimed, surprised.

Just as Tang Wei was about to elaborate further, a sudden buzzing sound erupted, grabbing everyone's attention.

A shadow materialized out of thin air on the bridge of light, solidifying from a blur into a clear image.

The sight that greeted them caused hearts to quake. A god-

level profound beast stood on the bridge!

This colossal creature, roughly nine meters tall, resembled a gigantic white tiger. However, instead of the traditional tiger stripes, its body was adorned with countless crackling bolts of lightning. Long fangs resembling lances and claws akin to swords completed its fearsome appearance, exuding a potent aura of oppression.

Linlin raised an eyebrow slightly. While the tiger bore some resemblance to her kin, it clearly had no connection to her clan.

"Is that… the White Tiger God?"

Shock rippled through the crowd. In their eyes, this majestic beast undoubtedly embodied the legendary White Tiger God. Its lifelike appearance, indistinguishable from a white tiger depicted in ancient scrolls, further fueled their belief. The beast even seemed to possess flesh and blood, its golden eyes flashing with a chilling coldness.

Yun Qianxue and the others instinctively turned to Yun Lintian and Linlin, assuming it to be a white tiger as well.

"Is that your cousin, Big Sister Linlin?" Qingqing inquired naively.

"No," Yun Lintian took the initiative to answer. "It possesses no bloodline."

He turned to Tang Wei and asked, "Is this an individual trial?"

"Thankfully, no," Tang Wei replied. "As long as we defeat it, everyone here can cross the bridge together."

"I see," Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully, his gaze briefly scanning the crowd. While a few Lower Gods were present, they were nowhere near strong enough to take down the formidable tiger guarding the bridge.

"I'll fight," Yun Qianxue stepped forward and declared calmly. Her action immediately stunned the crowd.

Yun Lintian said gently, "Be careful."

He had no intention of stopping her. Every battle here could serve as a precious experience for everyone.
