Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Yuan Gu, Hong Jun, and Ren Yi also rushed towards the six gods and demons without hesitation.
These six gods and demons are Qiankun God and Demon, Tianyan God and Demon, Five Elements God and Demon, Life God and Demon, Fear God and Demon, and Light and Darkness God and Demon.
Each god and demon possesses unparalleled power and terrifying strength.
However, even with the immense strength of Yuan Gu and the other two, they could only temporarily hold off these six gods and demons.
This prevents them from interfering with other people's battles, allowing others to focus entirely on their own opponents.
Meanwhile, Yuan Tong faced Linglong, the Lord of Life and Death, alone, just as he was about to make his move.
Suddenly, Linglong spoke up to stop them, saying, "Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, please wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong felt a sense of doubt. He slowly stopped what he was doing, stared at Linglong, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Then, Linglong mustered her courage and cautiously asked, "Immortal, how...how is he now?"
Upon hearing Linglong's question, Yuan Tong's expression instantly turned icy cold. He retorted without any mercy, "You injured the Immortal so badly back then, and now you still have the nerve to ask how the Immortal is?"
These words pierced Linglong's heart like a sharp sword, and her originally extremely beautiful face was instantly shrouded in sorrow.
She quickly explained, "No! That's not it, I had no choice."
Linglong's voice trembled with a sob as she continued, "I would never intentionally harm the immortal. Even if it meant my death, I would never hurt him in the slightest!"
However, Yuan Tong was not moved by Linglong's explanation. He immediately sneered, "Facts speak louder than words. Do you still want to argue?"
Faced with Yuan Tong's questioning, Linglong did not back down. She straightened her body and looked directly into Yuan Tong's eyes, as if to prove that she was not lying.
After a while, Linglong took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, please listen to my explanation."
"This is how it all started."
She paused briefly to gather her thoughts before continuing, "Back then, after Yin Tian Dao brought Destiny, Time and Space, and Origin under its control..."
"His ambitions have grown so great that he even wants to bring the remaining seven Primordial Holy Spirits under his command as well."
"Born as the spirits of the universe, we naturally possess an incomparably proud spirit."
"We think highly of ourselves, believing ourselves to be the strongest beings in the universe, so how could we willingly submit to others?"
"However, the power of the Yin Tian Dao is simply too great, even to the point of being suffocating."
"Even if the seven of us innate holy spirits joined forces, we would still be unable to contend with him and were ultimately suppressed by him."
"In that thrilling battle, only Chaos and Reincarnation managed to escape the clutches of the Yin Heaven Path thanks to their own powerful strength."
"As for the rest of us, none of us were spared. We were all marked with a Yin Seal by the Yin Heaven Path, and we will never be able to betray them."
"This mark is like a curse, deeply imprinted on the depths of our souls."
"If we harbor even the slightest rebellious intention, Yin Tiandao can reduce us to ashes in an instant with a single thought, making us disappear completely from this world."
At this point, Linglong's gaze fell on Yuantong again. She seemed to be observing Yuantong's expression, trying to decide whether to continue the story based on his reaction.
Although Yuan Tong didn't speak, his eyes seemed to be telling Linglong: Keep talking.
Linglong then continued, "Later, we engaged in a life-or-death battle with Chaos and his group, and ultimately perished together."
However, Linglong changed the subject and continued, "But I, like time and space, and yin and yang, am a person with two attributes."
"So when I fell, I forcibly separated my original soul essence and threw it into the immortal realm, just so that I could be reincarnated and have a chance to regain life."
"That is, her current identity as the goddess of the Linglong Imperial Sect."
"However, Yin and Yang were not so fortunate compared to me."
"After being repelled by Chaos, he fell into the battle position between the Yuan Clan's First Ancestor, the Earthly Path, and the Yin Heaven Path."
"Then all the original power of Yin and Yang was struck by the extremely terrifying power of the Earthly Dao, and was then devoured by the Primordial Treasure of the Earthly Dao, and from then on completely disappeared into the world."
"And I am no longer the person I used to be."
"because……"
At this point, the image of Yuan Zhexian suddenly appeared in Linglong's mind.
Just then, Yuan Tong suddenly spoke up: "Because of the banished immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Linglong trembled violently, and then nodded without hesitation in agreement.
Then, Linglong, her face full of self-reproach, explained to Yuantong, "Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, please believe me."
"The serious injury to the immortal was truly just an accident."
"I have lived for so long, seen countless people, and experienced countless things, but the immortal is the only man I have ever been in love with."
"Even when faced with the passionate love of the Lord of Yin and Yang back then, I chose to refuse without the slightest hesitation."
"I would never do anything to hurt him!"
Linglong's voice was resolute, as if it were an undeniable fact.
Then, she took a deep breath and continued to explain, "At that time, I had actually awakened most of my memories."
"But I originally intended to bury this memory deep in my heart and never touch it again."
"I only want to get along well with the banished immortal in this life, as Linglong."
"However, I never expected that, based on my familiarity with the aura of the innate Holy Spirit, time and space would actually detect my awakening."
Linglong's brows furrowed slightly, as if she were recalling the scene from that time.
"He told me through telepathy that the Yin Heaven Path was about to awaken, and that I must hide myself well and wait for the right time to launch a surprise attack on Yuanshi or you."
At this point, Linglong's voice lowered slightly.
"Moreover, he promised me that if I did as he said, when the Yin Heaven Dao descended, he would ask the Yin Heaven Dao to help me remove the Yin Seal on my body."
“This mark has clearly brought me endless pain and bondage, which is why I so desperately want to get rid of it.”
"And so I continued to act in accordance with what time and space had said, until later when the Heavenly Dao descended upon the Immortal Realm, and the Yin Heavenly Dao finally removed my Yin Seal, allowing me to regain my freedom."
Linglong's tone revealed a sense of relief.
But then it became serious again.
"So, the serious injury to the banished immortal was really just an accident."
"I never intended to hurt him, and I never expected that he would stand behind Yuanshi without hesitation at that moment, only to be accidentally injured by me!"
