You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Lin Yue's vision gradually regained clarity and stability, and he realized he had appeared in an infinite expanse of space, free from the constraints of gravity, floating in the icy silence of the void.

The blue planet seemed just a stone's throw away, where steam and malevolence surged, and suffering and calamities occurred frequently.

At the other end of the planet stood a colossal ruined face, lofty as the stars, watching indifferently. Around it were numerous dark voids of space, their destinations unknown, from which fearsome demon gods were trying to crawl out.

"Here I am again..."

Lin Yue murmured.

The moment he had entered the Yanfu World, he had seen this very scene. Last time, he was uncontrollable, and everything before his eyes seemed to have sped up?

Simultaneously, Lin Yue discovered that his spiritual body and primordial spirit had returned to normal, no longer restricted by the world's rules.

"Come to me."

A woman's voice, as if originating from an infinite height, called from behind him.

Lin Yue abruptly turned to look.

Against the backdrop of the profound and boundless cosmic starry sky, a vast, ancient, and mysterious palace stood erect in the empty space, seemingly transcending temporal boundaries, radiating an ancient air from the mythological era, eternal and desolate, silently floating amid the ocean of stars.

This palace was solemn and magnificent, reminiscent of the dwelling of ancient divinities. Its walls were adorned with numerous relief sculptures, seemingly carrying endless legends and stories.

The palace shimmered brilliantly under the starlight, its majestic doors flanked by two colossal statues with a terrifying aura, reminiscent of avatars of ancient divine beasts, guarding the palace.

With a movement, Lin Yue traversed the void and arrived at the palace entrance.

"Boom..."

The massive doors of the palace slowly opened, revealing the darkness within.

Lin Yue immediately entered the palace.

Inside the vast hall, the ceiling was transparent, seemingly offering a view of the entire universe's magnificent vista.

Around the hall were exquisite murals and sculptures, seemingly depicting mythological stories from ancient times and the grand accomplishments of ancient beings.

At the end of the hall, there was an ordinary wooden chair, on which sat a young woman dressed in plain hemp clothing.

Her appearance was not stunning. She looked young, but her eyes bore a hint of vicissitudes that spoke of enduring endless hardships. There was a subtle, almost imperceptible smile on her lips, as if nothing in the world held any secrets from her.

"Are you... the Master of Yanfu?"

Lin Yue softly asked.

Legend said that among the entities under the Supreme Beginning, the three sons of the Supreme Beginning were regarded as the leaders of the gods?

"Don't I look the part?"

The hemp-clothed woman laughed, "What do you think the Master of Yanfu should look like?"

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This Divine Palace certainly fits the stature of a leader of gods, but you yourself don't seem divine."

"I am not a divine being, and a son of the Supreme Beginning is just a divine son."

The Master of Yanfu laughed resignedly, saying, "Divine power, divine body, divine heart... are all just demigod aspects. However, the most important aspect of a divine is the divine position. Becoming part of the Earth's authority, one is naturally assimilated by the will of the world, becoming less human."

Lin Yue was taken aback.

This was different from what he had thought; he had assumed that the sons of Supreme Beginning were divine, hence their leadership over other gods.

It turned out the sons of Supreme Beginning were also just higher-ranking divine sons?

Like divine sons, they are successors to ordinary divinities.

The sons of the Divine Master are successors to the Divine Master.

And the sons of Supreme Beginning are only successors to the Supreme Beginning?

"How so? Don't understand?"

The Master of Yanfu, seeming to read his mind, casually said, "Think of the Supreme Beginning as the emperor, the gods as ministers, and the sons of Supreme Beginning as princes, naturally entitled to lead the ministers."

Lin Yue baffledly said, "In that case, the conflicts among the sons of the Supreme Beginning are like political faction struggles?"

"Although it's not quite the same, you could say that," the Master of Yanfu nodded slightly.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yue exclaimed, "It is said that among the three sons of the Supreme Beginning, the Master of the Other Shore never competes, usually it's just you and the Master of the Bygone Days who are in conflict? Indeed... the position of the sole ruler of heaven and earth is very enticing."

The Master of Yanfu listened and then laughed, shaking her head, "You are mistaken."

"Mistaken?" Lin Yue asked puzzledly.

"Firstly, the Master of the Other Shore is not non-competitive, and secondly, we are not fighting for the succession right of the Supreme Beginning."

The Master of Yanfu said with a nonchalant smile, "On the contrary, the Master of the Other Shore has already won against me and the Master of Bygone Days, so there's no need to fight with us, and the Master of Bygone Days and I are still competing because neither of us wants to inherit the Supreme Beginning's divine position."

Lin Yue was stunned.

The Master of the Other Shore had already won?

The fight was because they didn't want to inherit the Supreme Beginning's divine position?

This... was completely different from the rumors.

But, it also made sense.

After all, becoming a divine means becoming part of the authority of heaven and earth, losing part of oneself.

However...

He didn't quite understand.

Why would the Master of Yanfu share so much with him?

"Emperors have their time of death, and the world has its end; ultimately, someone must inherit the divine position of the Supreme Beginning."

The Master of Yanfu said indifferently, "The three of us didn't want to lose ourselves, so we agreed... the last to be defeated would inherit the divine position of the Supreme Beginning."

"The Master of the Other Shore has already won, so..." Lin Yue realized, "The Master of the Bygone Days attacking the Yanfu World is also part of the conflict?"

"Of course."

The Master of Yanfu replied calmly, "This is the agreement between me and the Master of the Bygone Days. Before the arrival of Eternal Night, I had the upper hand in our struggle, so the ongoing conflict took place here in my Yanfu World, my home ground."
