Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 98 The Private Reserve of the Innate Saints

Two streaks of light flashed across the sky, tracing long arcs that parted the thin clouds, allowing sunlight to fall on the West River, where light and water merged into a single line, separating into blue and white.

"Qi, do you think we'll get ganged up on when we get back this time?"

Taiichi felt slightly excited at this thought.

"No, but I'm worried that we'll get back too late this time and won't be able to see Yangmei the Great."

For some reason, Qi had a feeling that it would be difficult to see Yangmei again after this parting, which made him feel uneasy.

Yang Mei was a very special person to Qi and the others, both a teacher and a friend, who could promptly remind them when they went astray.

If Qi were to choose, he might prefer to follow Yangmei rather than Hongjun, but for some reason, Yangmei has never mentioned this.

He knew perfectly well that once he spoke up, none of them would refuse.

Amidst the chaos, Yang Mei continuously traversed through waves of chaotic storms, yet he remained untouched by them.

Ultimately, it was a case of being destined to meet but not to be together, Yang Mei sighed inwardly.

He can no longer get involved in the karma of the primordial world, otherwise all his previous hard work will be in vain.

Although he liked and valued Qi He, Taiyi, and the others very much, he could not do so, because he knew that these five people were too important to the primordial world.

The five people are involved in too many causes and effects.

Fuxi and Nuwa were born on a branch of Buzhou Mountain, part of the pillars of heaven and earth, and were born to bear the heavy responsibility of humanity.

He was merely a manifestation of humanity, and his origins were not even as advanced as the two of them, yet he had already endured such hardship. If he were to take them with him, it would mean disregarding the efforts of his many friends, which he could not do.

Di Jun, also known as Taiyi, is a star god of the sun, who governs the yang energy of the primordial world. He inherently possesses great fortune and bears heavy responsibilities.

His future is also one of the protagonists of the great calamity ordained by Heaven. Yang Mei has guessed many things, but he cannot even tell them.

He couldn't even say it aloud, but the appearance of the Chaos Bell made him think of many things, including the possible plots between the Three Sovereigns and the Star God.

These were the reasons why Yang Mei stopped in his tracks. He believed that the Three Sovereigns must have had compelling reasons for doing this, and he also had to believe that the Three Sovereigns' actions were reasonable.

As for Qi, Yangmei's feelings towards him were the most complex, and he also felt that Qi was the most similar to him. He knew that once he spoke up, Qi would definitely follow him, just like when he first met the King of Thailand.

But he was unwilling to mention it to Qi, precisely because of this: what if he had made a different choice back then, given that this person was most similar to him?

Yangmei didn't know, but he didn't want Qi to follow in his footsteps, because that would only make Qi the second Yangmei, not the first Qi.

Yang Mei suddenly stopped in the chaos, looking at the world that had suddenly appeared before him. It was extremely stable, and there were even living beings born inside it.

"Is this why the Great Dao yearns for chaos?"

He raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

"It has infinite possibilities, but unfortunately, I will have to extinguish them with my own hands."

He didn't know what those ancient gods were planning, but he knew that preventing their return was always the right thing to do for the primordial world.

"Chaos may be vast and boundless, but it should be the way out for us innate deities, not the future for you chaotic beings."

With raised eyebrows, divine light focused in his eyes, directly piercing through the barrier of the world's membrane, easily scanning the world's interior.

They saw all sorts of strange creatures, completely different from those in the primordial world, whether in terms of cultivation methods or the manifestations of the Dao.

"The world created by the great god Pangu, whether it be chaos or primordial chaos, should belong to us gods."

"After all, the primordial chaos has its own way, and the gods are one with the way."

A willow branch appeared on the barrier of the world's membrane, easily piercing it, and continued to grow within the world.

In the blink of an eye, this world collapsed.

Yang Mei didn't care about the demise of this world. As he said, the current chaos had long been regarded by the innate gods as the divine realm's private domain, even though this was just a decision he and a few old friends made.

When Emperor Tai brought Yangmei to Chaos for the first time, he found that it did not have the same suppression as the Primordial World, allowing him to act at will. He then knew that the future of the Divine Path did not lie in the Primordial World.

The Great Dao will eventually return to chaos, while the Divine Path can only possess infinite possibilities by following the Great Dao.

During that trip, the Thai King did not communicate with the Heavenly King and the Earthly King. It was as if from that moment on, the three kings were no longer one in Yang Mei's heart.

But things are different now. Yangmei has his own ideas about Chaos. He has feelings for the Primordial World. He doesn't know what the Three Sovereigns are planning.

But in his view, controlling chaos with innate divinity was something he was capable of.

Innate deities usually do not take action against the primordial world, thus ensuring the safety of both the primordial world and the divine path.

They will lay the foundation for the divine path in the chaos. As for how to break free from the primordial world, that depends on the innate divine beings of the future generations.

Qi and Taiyi continued to accelerate, and two beams of divine light streaked across the sky, leaving two long rainbows in the sky as if they had appeared suddenly.

A thousand years later, Qi and Taiyi finally arrived at Yunmengze, only to find that they were greeted only by Nuwa, Fuxi and Dijun.

"Has the 'Eyebrow God' already left?"

Qi's voice was slightly downcast.

Nuwa and Fuxi were somewhat puzzled by this, but still answered:

"Yes, the great god left Yunmengze a thousand years ago. It seems like he was in a hurry. He passed on his legacy to Yu Dijun and disappeared after saying a word."

Qi paused for a moment, then said:

"It seems unlikely that we'll see each other again."

"Um?"

Nuwa and Fuxi were very puzzled, but Dijun stepped forward and said:

"Qi is right. Before he left, the great god Yangmei did mention to me that it would be difficult for him to return to Yunmengze in the future."

Nuwa and Fuxi were completely bewildered, not understanding why people who got along so well were suddenly going to be separated for a long time.

"But don't worry, we'll meet again if we're meant to."

Emperor Jun comforted him upon seeing this.

Fuxi offered a brief explanation:

"It's not that I'm sad about the departure of the great god Yangmei and the impossibility of seeing him again, but why did you all know, while Nuwa and I didn't?"

Di Jun laughed:

"I didn't originally plan to say this, but Qi brought it up first, so I had no choice but to tell you."

Qi Jian Di Jun's explanation didn't elaborate, but merely glanced between Fu Xi and Di Jun before speaking after a moment:

"What Di Jun said makes sense. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again. The long period of time is not an insurmountable peak for us."

"This parting is only for a better reunion in the future."

Upon hearing Qi's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Jun's eyes, but he concealed it.

Qi saw it, but only smiled slightly at Di Jun, her eyes filled with encouragement and appreciation.
