Chapter 2000: An Lin’s Deception

At Yue Tong City.

An Lin looked at the black veined patterns on the ground, and he knew that something big was about to happen.

“This is the Heaven Crushing Sect’s handiwork.” Xu Xiaolan’s expression changed slightly when she sensed the heaven crushing true intent within the spell formation. “What are they planning?”

An Lin turned to the east, where the sun was gradually setting below the horizon. “The Heaven Crushing Sect is going to commence the crushing of the heavens.”

“My God! So soon?!” Xu Xiaolan was given a fright.

She knew that the Heaven Crushing Sect had made a big move, but she didn’t think that they would choose to crush the heavens at a time like this! Why now of all times?

“Perhaps they think that this is the moment when the paramount Heavenly Gods are at their weakest, so they’re going to capitalize?” An Lin speculated.

Things were happening too quickly. Even he was a little confused.

The only news he had heard was that the Battling Buddha, along with all of the higher-ups in the Heaven Crushing Sect, had been summoned to the Land of Eternal Light in order to witness a monumental event.

That event was most likely the event taking place right now.

“Sigh… If only I was a Heaven Crushing Sect heavenly disciple, I wouldn’t be in the dark about everything then.” An Lin heaved a resigned sigh.

All of a sudden, he recalled his conversation with the Heavenly Sea God.

…

Within the cabin of life.

An exquisitely beautiful female sat lazily on a floral vine chair. She wore a relaxed expression, and her tight-fitting, colorful robe accentuated her flawless figure to perfection.

A concerned expression appeared on her face as she heaved a forlorn sigh. “Sigh… Ambition is always the root cause of a world’s destruction.”

An elderly man with white hair and a beard responded with a smile, “Cyril’s heaven crushing project has commenced three years earlier than anticipated. An Lin must have done something to change the direction the Tai Chu Continent is progressing in, thereby making Cyril feel like this is the ideal moment to initiate his plan… I don’t actually mind seeing someone become the Heavenly Dao. However, the chances of Cyril succeeding in crushing the heavens are very low.”

The female spoke in a grave voice, “We can seek redemption and right our past wrongs, but we definitely can’t keep hurting the heavens. Trying to kill the heavens and replace it is a very dangerous dao.”

She turned to the elderly man beside her with an earnest expression. “Lord Lao Zi, I need your help. We don’t have much time left.”

This elderly man was none other than Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue of the Daoist Trinity.

Meanwhile, the female was the Goddess of Creation, Nuwa.

Yi Xi stood by silently and respectfully.

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue could detach himself from these matters, but he couldn’t bear to see the human race being hunted into extinction. He stroked his white beard and heaved a faint sigh. “Nuwa, you have done so much for the human race—”

“I just don’t want to witness mass genocide,” Nuwa cut him off in a firm voice. “You don’t need to thank me. I will continue my mending of the heavens regardless of whether you are going to help me or not. Even if I have to sacrifice everything, I will complete this mission!”

Tears welled up in White Spirit Snake’s eyes. “Your Majesty…”

A conflicted expression appeared on the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s face.

He really did want to save the human race, but getting involved in this matter would incur a massive risk to him. He was a being that had already transcended beyond this world. Would he be willing to risk his life to save the human race?

The majority of Gods of Creation wouldn’t do that.

Among the Daoist Trinity, Pangu had transcended long ago and completely detached himself from this world.

The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure preferred a carefree life and wouldn’t take any risks for the human race either. The only one who was still concerned about the human race was the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue.

Hence, the question arose. Was the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue willing to risk it all for the human race?

It was now time for him to make his decision.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming a little tense, Nuwa’s voice transmission talisman suddenly lit up.

She picked up the voice transmission talisman, and a familiar voice sounded from within.

“How have you been, Your Majesty Nuwa?” An Lin’s friendly voice sounded.

A smile lit up Nuwa’s gorgeous features upon hearing this voice. “I’ve encountered some difficulties of late, but they’re not very significant. Why have you suddenly contacted me? Do you need help with something?”

Nuwa knew that An Lin was not the kind of person that would contact her without a reason. He was definitely looking for her assistance with something.

However, she didn’t dislike him for that. Instead, she was becoming more and more interested in him.

“Er… I’m not looking for your help with anything today,” An Lin replied in a slightly awkward voice.

“Oh? Then I’m even more curious to hear what you have to say now.” Nuwa was intrigued.

“I want to join the Heaven Mending Sect, and I want to ask what I need to do.” An Lin was a little uneasy.

Nuwa abruptly stood up as her eyes shimmered with excitement. “Really? You’re not kidding, right?”

“I wouldn’t dare to fool around with you. I was hoping that I could visit you to discuss things in person when you have some free time.” An Lin chuckled.

“No need, I’ll come to you,” Nuwa replied eagerly.

“Huh?” An Lin was quite surprised to hear this.

All of a sudden, a round and colorful spatial hole appeared above the pavilion he was sitting in.

An exquisite beauty in a colorful robe emerged from the spatial hole.

“An Lin, are you really serious about joining the Heaven Mending Sect?”

A voice as soothing as a gentle creek sounded.

An Lin’s mouth gaped open in astonishment.

Holy f*ck! How had she gotten here so quickly? He hadn’t even cut off the voice transmission yet, and she was already here?

This woman was none other than the Goddess of Creation, Nuwa!

“Your Majesty Nuwa!” An Lin immediately rose to his feet. “My apologies for not being able to organize a better welcome for you on such short notice.”

Nuwa wore a soothing smile, and she nodded gently before making her way over to An Lin. She sat down beside him before turning to him with a scorching light in her eyes.

“I just so happened to have access to a passageway that led directly to Yue Tong City, so I decided to come to you. I’m very glad that you’re choosing to join the Heaven Mending Sect. This is fantastic news for the entire continent!”

Nuwa’s eyes shimmered even brighter than stars as she spoke in an excited voice, “An Lin, I was right about you after all!”

“Er…” An Lin was feeling a little guilty as he nodded his head.

All he wanted to do was to extrapolate information from her. However, her enthusiastic response was making him feel quite ashamed.

What was he supposed to do now?
