You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 839 - 223: Divine Emperor’s Corpse

When Lin Yue opened his eyes again, he found himself in a spacious, quiet chamber.

The walls on all sides were adorned with various strange reliefs, containing diverse Dao Rhythm and Divine Power.

However, he remembered nothing, standing bewilderedly in place, unsure of what he should do, as if he were an infant freshly born into this world, left only with curiosity about the world.

Suddenly—

"Come to the topmost layer and I'll tell you everything."

A gentle voice abruptly resonated through his mind.

Even though he understood no language, the voice communicated directly to his spirit, transcending the boundaries of language, letting him instantly comprehend its meaning.

Immediately following, a wave of information flowed into Lin Yue's mind.

This place is a tower.

The tower is divided into nine layers, and he is currently at the very bottom, the first layer. To enter the second layer, he must open the door of the first layer; the door bears Dao Traces that require the same Dao and Divine Power to unlock.

The same principle applies to the second, third, fourth layers... progressing upward becomes increasingly complex.

The key to unlocking the door lies within the relief patterns surrounding him.

Lin Yue stared blankly at the door, a sense of familiarity evoking in him that he struggled to recall.

After gazing absentmindedly for a while, he then looked towards the reliefs on the surrounding walls.

The Dao Rhythm and Divine Power seemed simple, instinct guiding him, his breath unconsciously began to align with them.

...

Outside the tower, a cluster of palaces stretched.

The Second Prince and Crown Prince gazed silently at Lin Yue on the first layer through the tower.

"Not letting him interact with others, nor teaching him to read?" The Crown Prince began: "With such crude and simple Dao Traces, can he truly condense the Divine Heart?"

"His comprehension is exceptionally high."

The Second Prince responded: "Moreover, he hasn't truly lost everything, only forgotten, yet innate instincts still steer him; often, the simplest method is the most direct, and written words carry many standards and selfish motives set by human hearts, which could sway his mind."

He watched Lin Yue inside the tower and said slowly: "At this moment, he remembers nothing, akin to Ancient Gods at birth, his spirit pure and naturally formed, the most likely state for condensing the Divine Heart."

The Crown Prince was silent for a moment and asked, "How long?"

Concerning the Ultimate Path and someone whose destiny defies prediction, these factors are beyond the purview of his Heavenly Calculation, unable to foresee outcomes.

"I do not know."

The Second Prince slowly replied: "It depends on him; although he's forgotten everything, his instincts will urge him to swiftly grow stronger to rescue his royal brother."

The Crown Prince looked afar, expressionless, stating: "The Demon Clan has already arranged the Soul Seizing and Refining Array; within eighty-one days, his soul will undoubtedly dissipate, can we make it in time?"

"Eighty-one days..."

The Second Prince was silent for a moment, then said: "Even if there's not enough time, we must delay as much as possible, ensure other princes are prepared."

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

A terrifying wave suddenly exploded from the sky, distorting and shattering the radiant sun and endless azure sky.

The Crown Prince's expression changed drastically: "Xiahou Shou has breached!"

"What?"

The Second Prince said, incredulous: "How could it happen so quickly? Could it be that royal brother..."

His eyes flickered with a trace of uncontrollable sorrow.

But now was not the time for distraction, forcing once again to suppress inner sadness and rage.

"Hahaha..."

A laughter resonating throughout the world abruptly reverberated in Great Yong's Jingzhou.

The Second Prince immediately recognized the source of this voice—

Xiahou Shou!

"Human Clan, the long-awaited day has arrived, be extinguished."

The endlessly cold voice rang like a judgment of doom, resonating instantly across the world, allowing everyone to hear his verdict.

At this moment, in Great Yong's Jingzhou, whether mortal or cultivators, all were somewhat dumbfounded.

The sun and sky were distorting and shattering, signs akin to pre-apocalyptic calamity, and a terrifying voice proclaiming the Human Clan to be annihilated?

Then—

The distorting sky abruptly stabilized, as if immobilized by an unseen force, while higher above, the heavenly dome cracked open a gigantic fissure.

At this moment, all beings on earth suddenly felt a formless pressure, akin to being observed by a supreme presence, every creature felt a smallness akin to heavens peering down.

All instinctively looked upwards.

Just then, within the colossal fissure in the heavenly dome, slowly opened an eye vast as the heavens themselves, coldly and indifferently gazing upon the human world.

The Eye of Heaven awakens!

However, surrounding the Eye of Heaven were numerous crimson streams and rainbows entwining, resembling blood vessels inside the eyeball, adding a hint of madness.

The most potent figures of Great Yong knew, this resulted from the Demon Clan's actions.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor once used an ancient eye of the bygone lord to stare into the Eye of Heaven, thus polluting it.

This caused, despite the Crown Prince's mastery over the Heavenly Dao, the polluted Eye of Heaven could no longer oversee the entirety of Jingzhou, as its corruption worsened, lessened precision in the Crown Prince's Heavenly Dao Power utilization, only able to wield its might to safeguard Jingzhou from external invasion, protecting its borders. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Moreover, as the Crown Prince utilized the Eye of Heaven's power more, the pollution from the old will further intensified.
