Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Lingyun and Moyu shared the same feeling.

Besides.

Ling Yun also sensed a mysterious force drawing her from the depths of the Ancient God's Cemetery.

Guided by her instincts, she walked towards the interior of the ancient god's cemetery.

The end of the passageway.

The first ancient god's tombstone appeared.

The tombstone reads: Time is nothing but an illusion; one day, everything will return to its origin.

Ling Yun looked at Mo Yu beside him and asked, "Do you know who wrote the words on this tombstone?"

Mo Yu shook his head.

"Sister, I don't know. But from this sentence, I can be sure of one thing."

At this point, Mo Yu stopped.

This made Ling Yun very dissatisfied.

"Tell me quickly, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Mo Yu explained, "Sister, someone who can say that time is nothing but an illusion must be a sage of the Heavenly Dao."

Because only the sages of the Heavenly Dao truly understand that time does not exist in the universe, only motion does.

People grow older not because of time.

Rather, it is the cells in the human body that are constantly dividing.

Just as a cultivator's cultivation level increases with age, it is due to differences in aptitude and continuous effort in cultivation, not because the longer one lives, the higher one's cultivation level becomes.

Otherwise, thousand-year-old tortoises and ten-thousand-year-old turtles would have become ancestors long ago!

Ling Yun understood this principle.

He simply nodded silently, without offering any rebuttal.

However, Xuan Tian and Long Xiu, who were following behind them, could not understand the mystery.

"Uncle-Master, are you kidding me? If there is no time in this world, how are day and night distinguished? And what about age, the changing of dynasties? These things just don't make sense!" Long Xiu asked.

Mo Yu said, "It's not that it's impossible to explain, it's just that you can't understand it. Stop asking questions. Remember the words on the tombstone and reflect on them often during your future cultivation. It will benefit you and Xuan Tian immensely."

"Yes, uncle."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Moyu."

Ling Yun walked around the tombstone, intending to continue forward.

Just took a step.

For some unknown reason, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

Mo Yu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled Ling Yun and the others aside.

A massive stone gate slowly rose from the crack, its surface covered with mysterious characters, exuding an ancient and enigmatic aura.

Long Xiu and Xuan Tian looked at the stone gate with curiosity, but dared not approach it rashly.

Ling Yun stared at the mysterious characters on the stone gate and said to everyone, "These are Chaos Divine Script. There must be a secret of the Ancient God's Mausoleum hidden behind the stone gate. Come with me and let's find out."

As they approached the stone gate, the chaotic characters suddenly lit up, transforming into beams of light that enveloped them.

When the light faded, everyone found themselves in a huge hall.

The walls around the room are inlaid with various mythical creatures of different races, illuminating the entire space.

In the center of the hall stands a stone platform.

A jade tablet was placed on the stone platform.

Ling Yun strode forward, just about to touch the jade tablet.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force emanated from it, pulling everyone in.

After being sucked into the jade tablet, everyone felt dizzy and disoriented.

Once they regained their footing, they found themselves in a strange, chaotic space.

Thick fog filled the surroundings, obscuring everything in sight, and mysterious whispers could be faintly heard echoing in one's ears.

Ling Yun cautiously shielded everyone behind him, gathering spiritual energy in his hands to guard against any potential dangers.

Long Xiu and Xuan Tian dared not slack off either, each gripping their weapons tightly and nervously observing their surroundings.

"What the hell is this place?"

Long Xiu's voice trembled slightly as he broke the silence.

Mo Yu did not answer, but instead frowned, trying to find a flaw in this chaotic space.

Ling Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed ahead, saying, "Look, there's light there!"

Following the direction she pointed, everyone looked and indeed saw a faint glimmer of light flickering in the thick fog.

They cautiously approached the light source.

Every step was taken with extreme caution, for fear of triggering the unknown dangers lurking in this chaotic space.

As the distance closed, the faint light gradually became clearer.

Like a flickering candle flame, it stubbornly shines through the thick fog.

When everyone finally arrived at the source of the light, they discovered that it was coming from an ancient spring.

The spring is small, no more than three feet in diameter.

The surrounding area is made of ancient stones, which are also covered with chaotic divine runes.

The light in the spring water kept changing, gradually transitioning from black and white to a rainbow of colors.

Mo Yu crouched down, wanting to observe the strange spring water closely, but the moment his fingertips touched the water's surface, a powerful torrent of memories surged forth.

He witnessed the glorious past of the ancient gods.

At the beginning of the universe, they used their supreme divine power to create heaven and earth and all things.

They witnessed a fierce war between the ancient gods, which caused the heavens and earth to change color and stars to fall.

In this war, countless lives were lost, and the universe was plunged into endless darkness and chaos.

Mo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his face as pale as paper, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

Seeing this, Ling Yun quickly stepped forward to help him up.

He asked with concern, "Mo Yu, what's wrong?"

Mo Yu took a deep breath and told everyone what he had seen.

Long Xiu and Xuan Tian were dumbfounded.

A complex light flickered in Ling Yun's eyes.

at the same time.

She also put her fingers into the spring water.

But no sight was seen.

"It seems that the secrets hidden in this ancient god's cemetery are far more astonishing than we imagined."

Ling Yun muttered to himself, "This spring might be the key to solving all the mysteries."

at this time.

A voice that sounded both mysterious and familiar rang out.

"My two old friends, we've been waiting for so long, you've finally arrived!"

The words have not yet fallen.

The ragged old woman who had appeared earlier flew out of the spring, leaning on her cane.

"Empress Houtu!"

Mo Yu recognized her and instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun asked her directly, "Are you really Houtu Niangniang, my best friend from my past life?"

Houtu Niangniang nodded happily.

"Of course. Sister Lingyun, we're best friends who've slept in the same bed, taken baths together, and cursed scumbags together."

Ling Yun said bluntly, "But the way you are now, you don't seem like someone who can play with this old ancestor."

Houtu Niangniang explained, "The me you see now is not the real me, but merely an old shell."

Mo Yu deliberately reminded Ling Yun, "Sister, Houtu Niangniang is right. As the Mother of the Earth, she is very beautiful."

She was once known as the most beautiful woman in the ancient god realm.

If it weren't for that old man, Lord Taishan, constantly stopping me, I would have won her over long ago.

What a pity...

For the first time, Ling Yun was somewhat surprised: "Mo Yu, who are you talking about, Lord Taishan?"
