Old Master Ji smiled faintly: "Then can you rest assured now?"
"Hmm..." Lin Nai gave him a deep look, thinking that might not be the case...
However, what he said aloud was, "Yes, I'm relieved."
"To be honest, I'm glad to see you. Three years ago, you and Yewan were sucked into a dimensional rift. I thought you were doomed."
Old Ji brewed the tea, and the warm steam rose up, filling the cups in front of him and Lin Nai.
Linnaeus: "It was indeed a bit dangerous at that time."
Elder Ji asked, "So what exactly happened between you and Princess Yewan in the void world at that time? Why weren't your bodies torn apart by the other dimension?"
"..." Lin Nai remained silent and did not answer.
Old Master Ji raised an eyebrow: "What, after three years, you can't even trust me anymore?"
Linnaeus said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that even I don't really know what happened to me in that world."
"Oh?" Old Ji asked curiously, "Were your memories erased after you left that world?"
"More or less." Lin Nai shrugged. "Actually, I vaguely remember some scenes from that world, but I just can't recall them at all. The memories are always blurry, and I don't remember what happened, just like waking up from a dream and not being able to remember what happened in the dream."
"So that's how it is..." Elder Ji took a sip of tea, paused, put down the teacup, and then said, "Alright, since that's the case, it's fine. It's good that everyone is back safe and sound. And you came back at just the right time. You didn't experience the three most desperate years for our human race. As soon as you came back, we drove away the demon race."
Linnaeus said, "I only just found out that one of the leaders behind the rebels is you, and who exactly is that 'leader'...?"
"You should have met her before, right?" Old Ji smiled slightly and said, "Not only have you met her, but you should have also had brief contact with her."
"..." Lin Nai paused for a moment: "Yes, I saw her when the other-dimensional aura of Yecheng leaked out that time."
"Then you should know the general situation of the leader," Elder Ji said. "The leader is the only one among our human race who can actively communicate with the will of the gods and became the first apostle of the Void God, Wuhe, in history—of course, the leader is no longer an apostle now."
Old Ji paused at this point, looked into Lin Nai's eyes, and said earnestly, word by word, "She is now a true deity."
Linna frowned: "Are you kidding me?"
"The leader inherited the will of the Void God and obtained 100% of Wuhe's divine power." Elder Ji said slowly, "You should have seen her strength, and the leader's body has transformed into a true divine body! Possessing a divine body and obtaining 100% divine power, isn't that making her a god?"
Lin Nai remained silent.
Is the Void God Wu He?
Even now, despite having accessed so many of Carlos's memories within the divine core, he still hasn't found any information about the so-called God of the Void.
Linnaeus was certain that the civilization of gods 300,000 years ago never had this god!
But the divine power that Li Mengyu wielded was also real...
What exactly happened?
Lin Nai changed the subject, looking at Elder Ji: "What exactly did you call me here for today?"
Old Ji smiled slightly: "It's not me, it's the leader who wants to see you." As he spoke, he stood up: "Come with me."
Lin Nai's eyes darkened, and she silently got up and followed him.
Elder Ji led Linnai through the base, turning left and right until they reached a dead end. Linnai was wondering where they were going when Elder Ji pressed a hidden compartment in the metal wall beside them. The wall opened, leading into another winding passage...
After wandering around the maze-like base for quite some time, Lin Nai finally followed Elder Ji to a metal door.
Old Ji pressed another hidden compartment, entered the password, and the metal door slowly opened.
Linnaeus walked in. It was a very large indoor space, with a height and width of at least several hundred meters, as spacious as a circular plaza.
In the center of the plaza stood an altar, surrounded by six tall stone pillars, each carved with beautiful patterns and inscriptions. Linnai recognized the script immediately as that of the gods!
The altar's stone floor was also carved with a large, ancient totem. Linnaeus glanced at it and felt a slight tremor run through the image from Carlos's memory, as if he had seen these patterns before.
'This square, these stone pillars, this ground...'
Linnaeus immediately realized what was happening.
These things must be relics left behind by the civilization of the gods...
It's a real antique!
Before her, Li Mengyu sat in the middle of the altar.
She wore a wide purple robe, her beautiful and holy face was expressionless, and her beautiful eyes were gently closed, as if she were meditating. She only slowly opened her eyes when Lin Nai arrived.
"Chief." Old Ji bowed slightly and said in a very respectful tone, "I have brought him here."
"Okay." Li Mengyu nodded lightly. "You can go down now."
"Yes." Elder Ji had no objections and left directly.
Only Lin Nai and Li Mengyu remained on the altar.
"Mr. Linnaeus, we meet again."
Li Mengyu revealed a beautiful and charming smile.
Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and combined with her almost inhumanly pure and holy temperament, her voice also had a faint ethereal quality.
"..." Lin Nai did not respond, but calmly looked at Li Mengyu. Without saying a word, he directly activated the Gray Eyes!
However, under the vision of the Gray Eyes, Lin Nai couldn't see the soul inside Li Mengyu's body for the first time.
It's not that Li Mengyu doesn't have a soul, but the moment Lin Nai used his pupil technique to examine her, her soul emitted a strange divine light, instantly causing Lin Nai's eyes to turn deathly white!
Lin Nai let out a muffled groan, abruptly closed her eyes, and two streams of clear tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
The soul analysis failed!
"Did you see what you wanted to see?" Li Mengyu said calmly, looking at him.
