The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 906 - 412: Child, Welcome Home (Grand Finale)

Chapter 906: Chapter 412: Child, Welcome Home (Grand Finale)

Lin Yun was particularly fond of a saying from Mr. Yuewei.

The Great Dao need not necessarily be sought only in lofty places; within the minutest details, too, one can perceive the Great Dao.

Because the Great Dao encompasses all lesser paths, and lesser paths are born from the Great Dao, they naturally do not run counter to the Great Dao.

"The Dao Embryo assimilates the fortunes of the world into its being, using the fortunes of the world to nourish itself, seemingly devoid of any balance, but this is impossible. Hence, I speculate that it can absorb the fortunes of the world because it has the capacity to do so. As long as we meet the criteria, we can achieve this too, and that is balance."

"This..."

Seeing Lin Yun so brimming with confidence, Tai Bai didn’t want to dampen his spirits, for the principle may indeed be as such, but not everyone might meet the necessary conditions!

The Dao Embryo can control fate; they simply cannot.

Moreover, they don’t even understand the principles behind the birth of a Dao Embryo.

But no matter, Lin Yun was continuing to explain.

"Since fortunes can flow, one can deduce that there must be conduits and principles governing said flow. Luckily, I knew of this even when I was still a mortal.

The Dao Embryo’s acquisition of fortune is akin to the great world plundering the small worlds. The Dao Embryo draws from the great world, with the great world mediating in between. All I need to do is enter the great world and have the great world divert the fortune, originally designated for the Dao Embryo, into my hands. The growth of the Dao Embryo is bound to be delayed, and perhaps, it will still be born one day, but by then, it may no longer be invincible."

"Can this really work?"

The crowd roughly understood Lin Yun’s idea, and the Fourth Elder got it the most.

It’s like when a tree bears fruit; if there’s only one fruit, it receives all the nourishment and will grow very well. But if there’s another fruit, it will share the tree’s nutrients.

Perhaps even completely plunder the nutrients that belong to the other.

"You come from a small world. How can you be recognized by the great world?"

Tai Bai asked the most critical question: To the great world, the Dao Embryo is its own progeny. Why should it give its nutrients to an outsider like you?

Lin Yun smiled.

"Who said I don’t come from the great world? I’ve been out for quite a while; it’s time to go back home. However, this time I will return as an insider traitor."

This statement of Lin Yun again astounded his companions.

Turns out, Lin Yun and the Dao Embryo hail from the same place...

But, the Dao Embryo’s exploitation of the great world is the most severe; how could Lin Yun have possibly emerged from such a world and now return to strike back? This seems unrealistic.

If there was someone like Lin Yun in the great world, a Dao Embryo could never have been born. That’s a clear contradiction.

"Then, what shall we do?"

Unnoticeably, she touched her belly—inside her, too, a small life was taking root. Fortunately, she was also skilled at hiding insights; she had not allowed Qing Nu to detect this. Otherwise, they would not have been able to work so harmoniously together.

When the unity of the people is lost, it’s hard to lead a team.

"It’s time for us to part ways now, but we will meet again in the future."

"Part ways?"

The crowd showed expressions of surprise and didn’t know how to dissuade Lin Yun. It was clear that Lin Yun was resolute. He had always been known to follow through with his decisions once made.

Seeing the reluctance in their eyes, Lin Yun also felt a complex mix of emotions, especially when he looked towards the Fourth Elder, who was the most whimsical and who liked to drive without a care—Lin Yun felt a faint sadness welling up inside him.

He could be sure of meeting the others again in the future, but the Fourth Elder, he was not certain.

Everything now was beautiful; he had altered history and temporarily resolved the crisis, with everything progressing towards an ideal direction.

But, continuing to stay here no longer held any meaning.

"Dreamlike Fantasy Flower, it is time to come to an end."

Lin Yun held Tai Bai’s Mysterious Ancient Sword and thrust it into his own chest.

In an instant, everything before his eyes froze and then shattered like a mirror.

All vanished from sight, leaving only Lin Yun himself and the sword that was plunged into him.

And the hilt was in the hands of Tai Bai.

At this moment, Tai Bai’s expression when looking at Lin Yun was also very complex.

"I’m back,"

Lin Yun said indifferently.

"You shouldn’t have come back."

"Dreams are beautiful, but after all, they are not real; in the real world, there are still people I love."

With a single statement, Lin Yun pierced through the essence of all his experiences. The fake will always be fake, no matter how real it feels. Even the sense of the Dao that Lin Yun perceived inside it remained intact, but what’s fake is still fake.

The truth was something Lin Yun naturally came to know when he used Tai Bai’s sword to attack the Dao Embryo.

Before this, Lin Yun was absolutely convinced of his own time travels, but only when he used Tai Bai’s sword to cut the future of the Dao Embryo did he realize that there were divine skills like time freeze and Dreamlike Fantasy Flower.

But it did not include reversing the flow of time.

History cannot be changed—that is an iron rule. Even if one reaches the pinnacle of a world, one cannot defy such a law.

Tai Bai’s sword indeed came from the future. The transcendental Tai Bai, who refined herself into a sword, traveled to her own past in the future.

However, her past in the future was precisely a certain moment that is her "now."

Yet, the overall trend remains unchangeable.

The future plagued by great catastrophe will eventually arrive. Inside the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower, they defeated the Dao Embryo, but in fact, the Dao Embryo wasn’t wrong in saying that a future where he can grow up smoothly is inevitable. Once this future is established, so too is their destructive future.

Tai Bai sent this sword not to change anything, but to let them live forever within the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower.

"As long as you do not dispel the spell, what difference is there between a dream and reality? Reality is heading towards destruction, while in the dream, you can live forever."

As the sword pierced Lin Yun’s body, Tai Bai also entered the dream. However, she became the sword.

She saw her own future and returned again to the past. In the dream, she also learned the whole truth.

In the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower, Lin Yun used his wisdom to overcome the Dao Embryo, but in actual history, the Dao Embryo did not truly emerge. They had signed a contract, so Qing Nu would still become mad, Zhen Li would recur, Lin Yun and Tai Bai would become enemies, and Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood...

Would die.

All of these have become history. Lin Yun can rewrite the outcome in the dream, but reality has already occurred.

Just like fan fiction and the original work, no matter how much fan fiction changes, the original remains the same.

Lin Yun felt regret in his heart, but he knew that he cannot stop moving forward.

"The past cannot be changed, but the future has not yet come. Let’s not give up hope. By the way, you can pull out the sword now. Although I have completed my transformation, it still hurts a bit."

Lin Yun tried to lighten the mood with a small joke.

It must be said, although the starting point of Tai Bai’s future was not positive, the sword she sent to the present was truly useful, providing great assistance to Lin Yun.

This one Dreamlike Fantasy Flower was equivalent to Lin Yun cultivating for tens of millions of years.

The origin of his fire had never disappeared, merely covered in dust, lying dormant inside his body without being activated. But having personally experienced the process of Heaven Creation, he completely awakened and his understanding of the Great Dao soared to the maximum.

Pity that even now, he is no match for the Dao Embryo.

However, the idea he proposed within the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower is still viable.

The time flow in the small world is faster; he still has time to prepare.

Now, he is the man with the luck of the entire world amassed within him.

Tai Bai hurriedly retracted her longsword, and Lin Yun reached out his hand again.

"What now?"

"The three origins in your hand."

Tai Bai: "..."

Are you going too far!

Tai Bai internally refused, but the powerful aura emitting from Lin Yun made her realize she was no match for him.

Thinking about this, Tai Bai felt angry.

This sword must be an insider traitor!

She had struggled so hard to finally stab Lin Yun once, blood spurted out from the sword wound, and time froze.

Since it was frozen, it might as well be as if it hadn’t, it was just after the stab and the sight of blood, both of them learned a lot.

Then, Lin Yun, who was originally an equal match for her, instantly became someone she couldn’t afford to provoke, powering up the opponent to max level in one second, how capable you are indeed!

Without Lin Yun making a move, Tai Bai knew she couldn’t resist and straightforwardly surrendered the three origins: the one of Zhen Li, the Fourth Elder’s, and her own.

"Are you still thinking about changing the future?"

"How do I know it won’t work if I don’t try?"

"Some things you know won’t work without having to try."

Tai Bai, knowing she couldn’t win against Lin Yun, softly persuaded him: "Give me the origins back, at least we can live within space and time."

Lin Yun ignored Tai Bai’s persuasion and transformed directly into fierce flames.

How to Return the Five Spirits to Origin, he had already experienced it while immersed in the history of the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower, to such an extent that he could even shatter the Great Dao.

Inside his body, Xiao Qing also woke up. She, like Lin Yun, had entered a dream, but when she woke up, she didn’t realize it was just a dream and still thought she was Qing Nu!

However, she indeed was Qing Nu.

But she’s a split essence.

"Master, I’ll give it to you if you call me sister," she teased.

Lin Yun: "..."

This Xiao Qing has gone bad, might as well take her to the riverside!

Xiao Qing made a jest, but she still didn’t stop Lin Yun’s grand plan.

As for the Earth Scripture, it was already shivering in the corner.

It felt like something terrible had just happened, but also as if nothing had happened at all.

Tai Bai looked at Lin Yun with a complex expression, this time, she really lost both in body and manpower.

It’s all this damned weapon’s fault; she was about to win.

However, Lin Yun’s never-say-die spirit is also something she has always admired.

"There’s no point in struggling in vain, you won’t succeed. Only I can merge the Five Elements, transcend and become emperor. Even so, I’ve seen many futures, and all end in destruction."

Tai Bai, looking at Lin Yun enduring the pain in silence, spoke with a touch of heartache.

This instance of Five Spirits Returning to Origin demands even more from Lin Yun than the one in the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower.

Because that was a temporary Return of the Five Spirits, whereas this time it’s permanent; Lin Yun must completely merge and unify the Five Spirits, yet also continuously break them apart, enduring the process of unending separation and fusion until stability is reached.

The origin is akin to the physical body, and this feeling is like constantly destroying and then reconstructing the physical body, while gradually grinding his Divine Soul into it.

The process is extremely painful, but Lin Yun’s heart is as hard as stone, such pain will not alter his will in the slightest.

And after Tai Bai proclaimed that the future would not change, the longsword in her hand suddenly started to become illusory.

"This..."

She quickly understood the reason.

Because Lin Yun had merged with the origins of the Five Spirits, the future where she becomes the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor won’t occur.

Therefore, she couldn’t transform herself into a sword anymore, and the sword naturally disappeared.

That is to say, Lin Yun has succeeded, and moreover, he has already succeeded in changing fate.

Shock filled Tai Bai’s eyes; the grand trend was thought unchangeable, but after Lin Yun appeared, the future started becoming unpredictable.

She can no longer see what the future holds; the once certain doom has turned into a state of Chaos.

Only when the future truly arrives, will it be observable.

"You this toxic supporter, you’re on par with Qian Qian."

Lin Yun let out a slight smile, retracting the all-devouring flames back into his body, and the other four kinds of origins also returned to Lin Yun’s small world.

Tai Bai, with a complex expression, couldn’t help but ask, "What are you going to do next?"

She guessed that Lin Yun would surely embark on his journey, and she didn’t know when he could come back.

"Of course, I’m going to reunite with my wives, it’s been so long, I miss them so much."

Tai Bai: "..."

The somber atmosphere suddenly collapsed completely.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Then I won’t disturb you and them."

"Of course, were you also thinking of joining us?"

Lin Yun’s chariot was already soaring to space, and it took Tai Bai a moment to catch the implication, realizing he had been seen with several women at the same time before.

Could it be, this time he wanted to say goodbye to everyone, so in the end, have one big go?

As Tai Bai mused wildly, Lin Yun had already turned and left.

Yet suddenly, Tai Bai said, "It’s not necessarily a no."

"Hm? What did you say?"

This time, it was Lin Yun’s turn to be stunned.

Little sister, are you playing that extreme!

Of course, Lin Yun wouldn’t actually go back and start a group sports day; first, he went to the moon to release Qing Nu’s seal.

Qing Nu had killed too much and was tainted with sinful karma that put her to sleep; Lin Yun effortlessly lit a fire and cleansed her sinful karma.

However, this little tsundere, upon seeing Lin Yun upon waking, felt joy in her heart but coldly snorted and said "Impressed, aren’t we? Freeing me now, you aren’t afraid I’ll cause calamity in the world?"

Lin Yun revealed a devilishly charming smile, pinched her chin, and arrogantly said, "Woman, go ahead and try."

"Let me go!"

"Heh, you can’t resist me now. Ever since you captured me, I’ve sworn in my heart that when the day comes that I can deal with you, I’ll definitely give you a harsh lesson."

"Bring it on! You think I’m scared of you?"

Qing Nu looked at Lin Yun’s attitude and thought he was really bearing a grudge, feeling wronged inside.

You lousy man, you’re truly rotten to the core.

"You won’t give up until you hit rock bottom!"

Lin Yun tightly hugged Qing Nu from behind, nibbling on her neck gently, more flirtatious than punishing.

Qing Nu let out a muffled groan, feeling her body begin to act strangely.

"Let go of me!"

Qing Nu’s waist twisted and turned, her long tail also wrapping around Lin Yun. They seemed to be fighting on the surface but both actually wanted to fight.

The Xiao Qing inside Lin Yun finally couldn’t bear it any longer.

She’s right here, how could Lin Yun do this with another woman.

"Ah Yun, you’re not allowed to touch her!"

Qing Nu was also stunned when she heard this.

Just a clone, and it’s out of control?

It’s one thing to be out of control, but to get so arrogant too?

"I’m his wife, why can’t he touch me?"

Qing Nu was very arrogant when she was alone with Lin Yun, but now seeing the love rival, she immediately showed her fighting stance.

Xiao Qing loudly retorted: "I’m his real wife!"

"It’s me!"

"It’s me!"

Lin Yun: "..."

This is a true Shura Field.

Who could have imagined that my one wife has split into two?

In the midst of their bickering, two snake-like alluring bodies wrapped around Lin Yun, one in front and one in back, rubbing wildly as if trying to determine a winner through this method.

Lin Yun: "..."

This kind of argument doesn’t seem too bad after all.

[An unspeakable scene follows]

Lin Yun proved with his actions that it didn’t matter if he had two more wives; he had enough combat power to handle them.

Qing Nu had lost her essence and was now exhausted, slumped on the ground like a lump of mud.

This man, truly rotten to the core. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But, she liked it very much.

The taste of long-awaited rain was simply perfect.

"Come back to the Mortal Realm with me!"

Lin Yun invited Qing Nu, who nodded her head earnestly and said: "Are you going to announce to them who is your real wife?"

Lin Yun: "..."

That was careless of me.

This woman is going to trigger a Shura Field if brought back!

But a true warrior, like Lin Yun, does it anyway.

"Sort of."

"Then I’ll go back with you."

Qing Nu smiled sweetly, quickly clinging to Lin Yun, realizing that if she acted too arrogantly, Xiao Qing would get all of Lin Yun’s attention.

Why did I ever think it was a good idea to create such a clone?

Isn’t this asking for trouble?

But whatever, let it be!

Lin Yun returned to the Mortal Realm with this odd ensemble, his first act separating the Demon Land from the Mortal Realm with a sword strike. The Demon Land and the Mortal Realm, each having their own way of life, best left undisturbed.

Between them, Lin Yun filled the gap with sea water, leaving behind a force filled with both sanctity and destruction.

The sanctity to prevent the Demon Race from crossing over, and the destructive power to stop the Human Race from acting rashly.

With another gesture, the numerous God Realms within the Desolate Ruins were pulled out by him and tossed into the depths of the ocean.

The Mortal Realm doesn’t need gods, but the Divine Spirits can stay to balance the Demon Race and the Human Race.

With his presence, he could maintain peace among humans, demons, and the God Realm, but once he left, conflict would be inevitable.

The best solution was a balance of power, with each keeping to themselves.

Even if one day they break through the boundaries, there would still be the capacity for mutual restraint.

Problems that once seemed difficult to solve can now be handled with a mere gesture, such is the power of strength.

Qing Nu watched Lin Yun do these things and suddenly felt uneasy.

"Why does it seem like you’re handling final affairs?"

"Sort of, I’m leaving."

Qing Nu was silent for a while.

Lin Yun thought she would be angry, but to his surprise, Qing Nu calmly said: "For how long?"

"Don’t know, maybe a few days, maybe a few years, or perhaps forever."

"Then I’ll wait for you. If you’re gone a few days, I’ll wait a few days. If it’s years, I’ll wait years. Even if it’s forever, I’ll wait forever."

Lin Yun was moved, but then Qing Nu added faintly: "After all, I’m used to waiting for you."

Well played, so you’re an Onmyoji!

But what she said was also true.

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then said outright: "Actually... I’ve been watching you all along, from the sun."

The Dreamlike Fantasy Flower continually activated memories hidden deepest within his Divine Soul, like the river of time cleansing his memories, but in reality, it was Tai Bai’s sword bringing them to the surface, presenting them in a reasonable form.

It was after fusing with the Five Spirits that Lin Yun truly understood himself.

However, he didn’t have memories from farther back; he didn’t know how he came to this world. When he became conscious, memories of his former self faded until his Cultivation Level rose, and he recalled the days when he was just a worker.

Thereafter, everything unfolded much like in the Dreamlike Fantasy Flower.

But at that time, he had not seen through the Dao Embryo’s trickery; instead, he fell right into Dao Embryo’s scheme.

The him from the past, wasn’t as clever as he is now.

His suspicion now is precisely because he was duped that one time.

And after being injured by Tai Bai initially, he and Fourth Elder’s Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood returned to the core of the sun.

The Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood used its own body to help him recover his cultivation level and also helped him integrate the Sinful Blood, restructuring his body to become similar to a Dao Body like the Dao Embryo.

Within his body, Sinful Blood was always present. This was also the method Lin Yun contemplated using to defeat the Dao Embryo.

However, his powerful Divine Soul and the vast amounts of memories weren’t something a newly formed Innate Dao Body could withstand. Therefore, he completely shattered his own Divine Soul and memories, sealing them deep within his bloodline and spirit, retaining only the memories of a laborer because this part held no knowledge of cultivation, was not from a distant past, yet was filled with sufficient wisdom.

Then, he was dispatched to the Mortal Realm.

Originally, he anticipated that relying on his own cultivation, it would take at least a hundred or two hundred years to reach the peak, so he left the sun two hundred years prior. But upon passing through the space gate of the moon, he encountered spatial turbulence, and Lin Yun, who was supposed to arrive in the Mortal Realm, ended up in the Canglan Divine Country instead.

That didn’t make a difference, after all, an Innate Dao Body could cultivate rapidly anywhere.

As a result, Lin Yun, relying on his exceptional talent for rebellion, single-handedly unified the Canglan Divine Country, and then Canglan sent him to the Mortal Realm.

He should have arrived in the Mortal Realm much earlier, but ended up adrift in space for more than a hundred years due to the exhaustion of Canglan Divine Power, only finally making it to the Mortal Realm.

Luckily, his body was incredibly robust, impervious to any disaster, and he successfully descended into the Mortal Realm. Then, the story began...

"...Before I lost my memory, I was always watching over you."

Lin Yun looked at Qing Nu tenderly, melting her heart slowly as well.

In truth, she had guessed as much, but hearing Lin Yun actually say it, tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

Remembering every lonely night, Lin Yun had actually been silently accompanying her all along; the loneliness she endured over the years suddenly turned sweet, nearly overwhelming her with its fondness.

However, thinking of the imminent parting, her heart began to fill with sorrow again.

"Don’t be sad. Trust me, I will definitely return."

Lin Yun’s tone was resolute, and Qing Nu nodded earnestly in response.

She believed in Lin Yun.

...

Three days later, after saying his goodbyes to everyone, Lin Yun crossed through the Outer Realm and arrived above the sun.

He was now setting out on a long journey, and also returning to his old home.

With a heart full of anxiety, even though he had reached a level of transcendence over the entire world, it was hard to put into words.

Nevertheless, everything had to be faced eventually.

"Little Lin, I’ve returned."

Having said that, Lin Yun took a step and entered the sun, arriving at its very core.

In the midst of the extreme flames, there was surprisingly a tree flourishing vigorously.

This was the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood.

She had lost her origin, but her body remained; as long as she had enough nourishment, she could continue to grow.

It’s just that now she could no longer take on human form.

"I am leaving, and I’ve come to say farewell for the last time."

Hearing Lin Yun say this, the tree’s branches trembled a few times.

"I will definitely come back."

The branches trembled again, as if waving goodbye to Lin Yun.

In truth, everyone knew.

When he said he would definitely come back, it was just a phrase to comfort others.

This departure, no one knew if he could return, but he had to go.

Because he bore the weight of the entire world on his shoulders.

Lin Yun took a step forward and arrived at the edge of the starry sky where the world barrier lay; to his surprise, Tai Bai was waiting there for him.

"Didn’t you say we’d exercise together? Why are you bailing out at the last minute?"

Tai Bai’s face flushed red, not expecting Lin Yun to still be in the mood for teasing her at this time.

"I came to see you off and to give you a couple of things," Tai Bai said not dwelling on the past, and took out one item in each hand, which were the Heavenly Mandate Star Core transformed from the Heavenly Book, and another which was the Human’s Book.

"The Earth Scripture is with you; combining the three books could garner the assistance of the Heavenly Dao of this world. This is the last thing I can do to help you."

"Thank you. You could actually do something else for me; for example, I’ve been stabbed by your sword several times before. How about you let me stab you back to ease my mind a bit? I might feel a lot better."

"You rascal, you’re dreadful!"

Tai Bai, blushing furiously, threw the items to Lin Yun and took off as a streak of light without turning back.

"Haha, that was fun."

Lin Yun was always tirelessly amused by teasing girls.

Who knows if he will have the opportunity in the future.

But then again, with his cultivation level, couldn’t he tease any girl he wanted once back in the Mortal Realm?

Perfect!

Lin Yun did not let down Tai Bai’s kindness, merging the three books into one. Even if all three books were wailing and begging for mercy at the end, Lin Yun showed no pity.

For the ultimate victory, he had become almost heartless.

"Open!"

Lin Yun skilfully casted a small sun, and the world barrier quickly split open.

It had now taken the form of Lin Yun, creating an opening just big enough for him to pass through. Lin Yun entered boldly; in the next second, he appeared in a familiar place.

Tentacles flailed wildly across the sky; Dao Embryo was growing much larger in the world than before.

It felt like there wasn’t much time left before he would completely emerge.

Lin Yun wasn’t certain if his plan to empower the insider traitor could be fulfilled, but in any case, it was the only way.

Lin Yun took a couple of steps forward, and the great world’s barrier appeared before his eyes.

The world’s barrier was nearly impenetrable to outsiders, but for one of their own, it wasn’t so difficult to break through.

"I have returned."

Lin Yun whispered softly, and he slowly placed his hand on the world barrier. Before he could muster the force to break through the barrier, he suddenly heard a gentle whisper in his ear, as soothing as a mother’s: "Child, welcome back."

(End of the book)
