"You are the God of Death?" Yun Lintian responded.
"No. I am a tiny part of his soul. He is completely gone." The aged voice resounded.
Yun Lintian pondered for a moment and commanded the tower to land on the ground.
"We will stay here." Zhao Ming took the initiative to speak. He was aware that there must be a secret here. The less he knew, the better.
Xu Mei and Su Lei shared the same opinion. They chose to stay back.
Yun Lintian had no objections. He immediately left the tower and walked into the palace with Master Bai, Ouyang Feng, Gui Xuan, and Hei Shou.
As everyone arrived in the hall, they saw a path engulfed in black flames.
At this moment, the black flames dissipated, revealing a passage.
Hei Shou was the first to move into the passage, followed by Yun Lintian and the others.
Soon, the pitch-black passage lit up, and a devilish eye appeared between two obsidian pillars.
Master Bai and Ouyang Feng were startled by the deathly aura. Although it was inferior to the Hall Asura's aura, it was several times purer. They had never seen such a pure aura of death before.
The Eye glanced at Hei Shou and spoke. "I'm surprised that you still have his residual power."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do you remember him?" Hei Shou asked.
"Unfortunately, no. As I mentioned, I am merely a speck of his soul. His memory is very vague. The only thing I can remember is his disciple and the God of Fate." The Eye replied.
Yun Lintian felt disappointed when he heard this. Apparently, the Eye of the God of Death didn't know much about the past.
The Eye turned to look at Yun Lintian and said. "They are the two most important things in his memory. In his last moment, he was concerned about these two figures."
Yun Lintian was surprised. He could understand why the God of Death was concerned about Si Junyi. However, the God of Fate didn't seem connected to him.
"Si Junyi is an orphan he picked up from the Nine Heavens Realm. He carefully nurtured him as if he were his own son." The Eye explained.
"However, I cannot figure out the entire matter behind his concern about the God of Fate. Through his memory, the God of Fate was the most powerful figure among the Primordial Gods. He admitted that he wasn't an opponent of the God of Fate."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply upon hearing this. According to Yun Tian, no one knew the true power of the God of Fate. And now, the God of Death admitted that he was inferior to him.
Yun Lintian could basically confirm that the God of Fate was up there alongside the God of Time… If that were the case, why would he choose to die instead of stopping the war?
At this moment, Yun Lintian noticed that Master Bai and Ouyang Feng were looking at him strangely. It turned out that they didn't hear the voice of the Eye.
"The appearance of Yun Tian gave me a general idea about the God of Fate. Although I don't know his true intention, I am sure it is related to the decline of the Primal Chaos." The Eye said further.
Yun Lintian remained silent. The Eye's guess wasn't far from the truth he knew. The God of Fate wanted to stabilize the Primal Chaos.
Again, Yun Lintian couldn't understand why the God of Fate went through all of this in the first place. He could have stopped the war, and everything would have returned to peace.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Since you are his inheritor, you must have figured it out by now." The Eye spoke further. "You don't have to tell me. It is useless."
Yun Lintian asked. "Do you have any suggestions, Senior?"
The Eye went silent for a moment before replying. "If possible, you should try to gather all the parts of the God of Death. He is the key to the truth."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. Even if the Eye didn't tell him, he already had the plan to gather them. All the mysteries would be revealed as long as the God of Death returned.
Naturally, he must wait until he reached the True God Realm first.
"Si Junyi's goal must be the God Tomb in the Nine Heavens Realm. He planned to revive those ancient gods to fight for him." The Eye spoke.
"The current you is too weak to stop him. You should focus on improving your strength more."
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. Si Junyi's ambition was indeed terrifying.
He looked at the Eye and asked. "Do you want to leave with me, Senior?"
"I cannot leave this place." The Eye replied. "Once I leave, the Netherworld will cease to exist."Yun Lintian had no idea about this.
"Now you are the Yama King. I suggest you find new officers and put the Netherworld into operation as soon as possible." The Eye spoke.
Suddenly, a few black figures emerged from the darkness.
Master Bai and Ouyang Feng subconsciously stepped back when they saw these people. They were none other than the Death Messengers.
"They are now under your command. However, you cannot instruct them to kill anyone. Your soul will be destroyed directly." The Eye explained.
Yun Lintian looked at the Death Messengers and asked. "Can they temporarily take charge of the Netherworld? I don't have a good candidate right now."
"No problem. You can use the Judge's Pen to appoint them." The Eye replied.
Immediately, the Yama King's attire appeared on Yun Lintian's body. He held the Judge's Pen and wrote an edict.
"I appoint all of you as the guardians of the Netherworld. Your duty is to protect this place and take care of the dead souls." Yun Lintian said calmly.
A row of golden characters appeared in the air before flying towards the Death Messengers and merging into their chests.
The next moment, the Death Messengers bowed their heads to Yun Lintian and vanished from the place.
"I'm leaving now, Senior." Yun Lintian looked at the Eye and said.
"Go." The Eye responded.
Yun Lintian cupped his fists and left with everyone.
Hei Shou hesitated briefly before writing a sentence. "I will go with him."
"It's your fate." The Eye said gently.
Hei Shou "glanced" at the Eye one last time before chasing after Yun Lintian.
The Eye stared at Yun Lintian's disappearance for a while before vanishing...
