The soft touch felt like touching human flesh, and Yun Yao jumped away.

"These……"

The system used the data to sense something, and when it sensed the result, it was speechless for a long time.

"How is it? What is this?"

"Detected, it's a living thing."

There are not only humans, but also demons and monsters.

"Are you still alive?"

"...It's probably just sealed temporarily."

Because what was detected was indeed a living organism.

Yun Yao took a deep breath and said, "So what are these silkworm-like cocoons filled with?"

"That's right, the data won't be wrong."

"It seems that the participants in the rumored war may not have died at all."

"The ancestors of the mermaids had them guard here for generations, protecting the divine realm. Perhaps these are the secrets they want to hide."

Yun Yao didn't understand, "Why?"

Wouldn't it be better not to die?

Or, why did they use such a huge force to seal them up? Was it to wait for someone to come and unlock the seal one day?

"I'm afraid no one knows why." The system did not expect that such an ordinary plane would have so many details that were once mentioned in passing.

It seems that the butterfly effect is really powerful.

"Rumor."

Damn it! Why is the big devil here again?

The system suddenly shrank.

Yun Yao: “…”

When it comes to being timid, no one is more timid than him.

"what happened?"

Lin Xu shook his head, "It's just that I didn't see you suddenly, and I was a little anxious."

Oh

It’s really not an important matter.

Yun Yao pursed her lips, thought about it, and decided to tell Lin Xu what she had just discovered: "Do you feel that something is wrong here?"

"where?"

Yun Yao pointed to the white cocoon next to her and motioned Lin Xu to feel it.

Lin Xu took a look, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "Is this weird?"

Yun Yao nodded and said, "Touch it, maybe you can tell what it is."

Lin Xu didn't say anything, just touched it casually, and quickly came to the conclusion: "It's nothing, just an ordinary cocoon, don't be afraid."

"A normal cocoon?"

Yun Yao tried to find some clues from Lin Xu's face, but this man's control over his emotions was abnormal, and she couldn't see anything at all.

"What are these used for?" Yun Yao pointed at the ones near and far. "There are so many of them. They can't all be mutant coffins for the dead."

"I haven't been here for a while, I'm not sure."

Lin Xu was eager to get away from this topic, "Let's go find the temple. There, perhaps it will tell you the answers to any questions you have."

He didn't want to recall those things, not because he didn't want to talk about it, but because he didn't dare to talk about it.

"Temple?" Yun Yao didn't know what Lin Xu was hiding, but since he didn't want to say it, she had no right to force him to say it, "Okay."

If the temple could really provide the answer, perhaps her seventh heart was also there.

"You said you don't remember a lot of things, so can you remember the location of the temple?"

Yun Yao was testing again. It turned out that her trust in herself was still not enough...

Lin Xu's eyes darkened, "Of course I remember the location of the temple, and I will never forget it."

That's where he was born.

"Then go ahead."

But Yun Yao was not sure whether she, as a demon, could set foot in that legendary holy and pure place.

The location of the temple is very hidden. Yun Yao followed Lin Xu in circles. There was a formation on the ground that was changing all the time, similar to what she had encountered in the abyss before.

"Time!"

An arrow flew out from an unknown direction, but fortunately Yun Yao reacted quickly and pulled Lin Xu, who was not in good condition, away to avoid it.

"What are you doing? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Lin Xu shook his head, "Nothing."

Yun Yao frowned and picked up the arrow on the ground. "Does the formation here have hidden weapons?"

"Nothing."

There are no hidden weapons in the formation.

That also means, Yun Yao's eyes sternly said, "There are other people here too."

"impossible."

Lin Xu was very sure, "Only the gods can enter the divine realm. If other races want to enter, they must be accompanied by at least one god."

"That means, if there was a sneak attack just now, that person must be from the God Clan, or the action must have been condoned by the God Clan."

Yun Yao stared straight at Lin Xu, "Are you really the only god from the Hall of Gods? Are there really as few gods in this world as you say? Lin Xu, are you too naive and deliberately want to ignore some details, or are you intentionally concealing the fact that there are actually many gods alive?"

"I"

"Also, I just told you that there's something wrong with those white cocoons. I asked you that because I knew what was inside, but your answer obviously disappointed me. You're an ancient god, so it's impossible that you don't know what's inside!"

"So, what are the gods hiding?"

"Are all the people who participated in the extraterritorial war still alive? Why did you hide this from the world?"

"You want me to be the successor of the Demon God, but you are still very powerful now. Why do you need to determine the successor so early? What do you want to do to get rid of this position?"

Yun Yao's step-by-step questioning almost pushed Lin Xu into a dead end. For the first time, Lin Xu didn't know how to answer her questions.

"I said, whatever you want to know, the temple will give you the answer."

"But the question now is whether I can make it to the temple alive."

Yun Yao turned around, staring at one place with a mocking smile on her lips: "I don't know when I offended the God Clan. I don't know whether to say it is my honor or sorrow."

"No one wants to hurt you!"

Lin Xu grabbed Yun Yao's hand and spoke a little louder. It was unclear whether he was telling Yun Yao not to be afraid, or warning the people in the dark not to act on their own.

"Lin Xu, I actually trust you."

The next second, Yun Yao shook off Lin Xu's hand, "But now, I feel like I'm in a huge conspiracy. I can't trust you anymore."

"You don't believe me?" Lin Xu's eyes were broken. "I have done so much for you, don't you have a heart? Can't you feel it? Now you are suspicious of me, doubting me for something that is not true. Have you ever really trusted me?"

"I really don't have a heart. I only believe in myself."

Yun Yao slowly felt the breath in the dark, and the other party seemed to have suddenly lost his murderous intent.

Yun Yao raised an eyebrow. "How about this, if you want me to go to the temple so badly, I can go. But from now on, we have to keep an absolutely safe distance."

"It's for your own good, and for my own good."

Lin Xu calmed down his emotions. He shouldn't have such big emotional fluctuations.

"it is good."

The two walked forward one in front of the other, with Yun Yao following behind.

"arrive."

The temple is a dilapidated castle, with the central hall towering into the clouds.

"I hope the answer you want from me won't disappoint me."
