Chapter 2462: Confusion



Soon, the light curtain dissipated, and Yun Lintian saw the Ice Phoenix. He was stunned by her mesmerizing appearance and quickly remembered what he had done to her.

The Ice Phoenix looked at Yun Lintian with an incredulous expression. She could feel the immense, seemingly boundless aura within his body.

"That..." Yun Lintian didn't know what to say and couldn't help but look at her naked body.

The Ice Phoenix came back to her senses and waved her hand, covering her body with a layer of frost. It couldn't be helped, as she didn't have any clothes with her.

"Thank you for saving me," she said softly.

Yun Lintian was surprised and felt strange. He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, as the Ice Phoenix didn't seem to hold him accountable.

"I'm Yun Lintian," he said as he put on a new robe and gave her one. "I'm sorry for what I did to you. I had no choice. It was the only way I could think of."

The Ice Phoenix took the robe from him and put it on. "You don't have to apologize. Without you, I would be gone," she said softly. "My name is Lan Hanyu."

Yun Lintian opened his mouth, but no words came out. The atmosphere turned awkward.

"Your injury..." he said, trying to break the tension.

"I'm fine now. There's a minor injury left, but it will heal in time," Lan Hanyu said softly. Her expression was so calm that Yun Lintian couldn't guess her mood.

"That's good to hear. Let me help you," Yun Lintian said gently.

Lan Hanyu took a sip of tea, and her eyes flickered slightly as she recalled what had happened. "Did you come from the Primal Chaos?" she asked. "What's the current situation there?" "Yes, I arrived here not long ago," Yun Lintian said. "The situation there is relatively stable. There's no fatal threat internally. The only threat comes from the inheritor of the God of Mortals, Fan Shen. He's trying to sabotage the wall, letting every creature here enter the Primal Chaos."

"The inheritor of the God of Mortals?" Lan Hanyu was slightly surprised.

"Yes. Since the Primordial Era, all the Primordial Gods have been gone. They left their legacies behind," Yun Lintian explained briefly.

Lan Hanyu stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and said, "I can feel the aura of the Primordial Sun God from you. You must be his inheritor."

"I guess so," Yun Lintian responded gently. "I unintentionally refined it."

Lan Hanyu was surprised. "Unintentionally?"

"Yes. I wasn't the original inheritor," Yun Lintian said.

Lan Hanyu's eyes flickered with a hint of realization. She fell silent for a moment and said, "The enemy... The one who interrupted my Phoenix Nirvana was the God of Time."

Yun Lintian was stunned. "The God of Time? How could that be possible? He was killed by the God of Mortals back then."

Lan Hanyu shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about that. When I was at the end of my rope, Long Bing brought me to the frozen wasteland, and I went through the Nirvana process. At the critical moment, Nian Shi appeared and suppressed me before taking my blood origin. I couldn't mistake his aura."

She looked at Yun Lintian and continued, "What confused me was that he didn't take my life but left me dying instead. He must have purposely allowed me to live because there was no way he didn't know that I could use my divine soul to enter slumber."

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He couldn't understand how the God of Time, Nian Shi, could still be alive and had appeared here. If the God of Mortals couldn't defeat him, how did Fan Shen get the power of time?

At the same time, how did he create Lan Bingxue? What was the relationship between the God of Time and the Lord of Chaos? Were they the same person?

What exactly had happened here?
