Ling Yun’s clone opened his eyes as soon as he sensed the change in the gate, and he imdiately asked Huang Lingzhu, who had just erged from it. "How did it go? Did you manage to eliminate Yuan Shijia?"
"No." Huang Lingzhu directly explained the situation to Ling Yun’s clone, causing him to frown because it was far beyond his previous expectations. "I don’t know her true abilities, and I can’t find her real body. The only thing I know is that she’s after you, and she wants to absorb your soul."
Ling Yun’s clone frowned deeper. "Can she appear in this realm?"
"I can’t say for sure." Huang Lingzhu released a soft sigh. "Those fake immortals are not true living beings, and they’re more like avatars or soul projections or whatever, so it wasn’t difficult for Yuan Shijia to send them there. No matter how many tis we destroy them, they will continue to appear as long as we still haven’t managed to stop her. However, her strength has already exceeded the limits of this universe, so I don’t think she will appear anyti soon. Even so, I will bring so immortals here, and they will protect all of you."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun’s clone raised an eyebrow. "What do you an by Yuan Shijia’s strength has already exceeded the limits of this universe? Does that an she has reached the peak of cultivation?"
Huang Lingzhu shook her head slightly. "Yuan Shijia’s strength is still at the middle pseudo-supre realm, and she’s still far from peak cultivation. The limitations of the universe are related to the decline of the universe itself, and it is no longer able to contain the true power of a primordial; even Long Hun and I had to divide our power into several parts in the past. If we didn’t do that, this universe would have been destroyed long ago."
"Doesn’t that an it’s too easy for Yuan Shijia to destroy this universe? She just needs to activate her true strength from her hiding place, and this universe will be destroyed directly, right?" Ling Yun’s clone asked with a serious look.
Huang Lingzhu nodded at him. "Normal logic would be like that, but Chaos wouldn’t allow her to destroy this universe. Back then, I tried to show my true strength to Huang Hao and Long Hun, but the Chaos sent the Will, the Law, and the Fate to stop . He ordered to stop, or he would eliminate and replace with the new Ti."
"I see." Ling Yun’s clone nodded in understanding, but he also felt that there was sothing strange behind it all. "Did you ever think there was sothing strange about the Chaos’ actions?"
"Hmm?" Huang Lingzhu looked at him.
"We all know that Chaos wanted to destroy this universe, but he stopped others from destroying it. He even asked the Law to return the thod for learning the elental laws to living beings." Ling Yun’s clone’s last sentence surprised Huang Lingzhu. "Initially, the law only allowed to learn the light and dark elental laws, but strangely, she suddenly imparted all the thods for learning other elental laws to . She told that it was Chaos who ordered her to do so, and he also ordered her to impart it to all living beings. Furthermore, he is Chaos and the core of this universe, and he is the most omnipotent. He could destroy this universe as easily as turning over his hand, but he chose a more complicated thod instead, which made feel strange."
"You an?"
"That’s right." Ling Yun’s clone nodded to Huang Lingzhu. "His actions make think that Chaos doesn’t actually want to destroy this universe, especially since he could have done so since he ordered the Will to destroy the primordials and the primordial realm. Yet, he left you, the old dragon, and Yuan Shijia alive. He must have known about Tang Xiao’s arrival in our universe, and he also knew all the plans you had made in the past, but he didn’t stop you. Moreover, the old dragon should have told you about his human form, right?"
Huang Lingzhu nodded slightly. "Long Hun did inform about that, and I initially believed he was our enemy from the beginning. However, he broke my assumption, and they were actually two different people."
"In fact, I originally thought the sa way as you." Ling Yun’s clone let out a soft sigh before continuing. "I’ve thought about it for a long ti, and I’ve finally co to the conclusion that the two of them are different people."
"What makes you co to that conclusion?" Huang Lingzhu curiously asked.
Ling Yun’s clone took a device from the item box and imdiately turned it on, displaying the conversation he had with Tang Xiao during their first eting, which surprised Huang Lingzhu. "Just listen to the explanation, and you will understand why the old dragon and I ca to the sa conclusion."
Huang Lingzhu nodded slightly, and she closely listened to every detail of their conversation, especially since Tang Xiao did not explain to her in too much detail because it would affect their universe. She was left dumbfounded after their conversation ended. "Five parallel universes? Tang Xiao, Xia Tian, Chen Li, Zhang Fei, and our universe."
"That’s right." Ling Yun’s clone kept the device. "At first, I also found it difficult to believe that the multiverse existed. As you heard just now, Tang Xiao’s future self was the cause of the birth of the multiverse, especially after he returned to the past to change the future. Tang Chen, the Tang Clan, and the Celestial Fortress were proof of its existence. Back then, he sent one of his descendants nad Tang Wu to protect my Earth, and she returned to her universe once I obtained the fortress."
"So, what do you an by that?"
"Aren’t you smart and cunning? Why are you so stupid now?" Huang Lingzhu frowned at Ling Yun’s clone. "Since Tang Xiao’s future self was the cause of the birth of the multiverse, I believed that the other four universes were still connected to him, including our universe. Therefore, the Chaos took his form as his human form, which made us think that they were the sa person, but they were actually different people. Tang Xiao was a real person who existed in another universe. On the other hand, the chaos was the core of our universe, which was born because of his future self’s past mistake."
After hearing all that, Huang Lingzhu fell into contemplation for a long ti, but she was still confused about everything, especially the main goal of the Chaos in wanting to destroy their universe. "So, what do you think is his main goal?"
Ling Yun’s clone looked up at the sky as if searching for sothing. "In my opinion, Chaos’s ultimate goal isn’t to destroy this universe, because he can do it whenever he wants, and he doesn’t need to drag things out to this extent. He just needs to destroy it and recreate it, and all life will start anew. I know you can hear loud and clear, Chaos! I’m sure you never intended to destroy this universe, and your ultimate goal is to wait for soone worthy to replace you. I don’t understand why you want that, but I suspect that it has sothing to do with Tang Xiao and the other four universes!"
However, no one responded to Ling Yun’s clone, be it the Chaos or those hidden forces, and all of them fell silent, leaving him sighing softly.
"Could it be that sothing forced the Chaos to do that?" Huang Lingzhu suddenly asked Ling Yun’s clone.
Ling Yun’s clone turned to Huang Lingzhu and nodded at her. "I’m not sure if sothing forced the Chaos to do that or if it was his own will, but there is definitely so reason behind his decision. After all, fire won’t appear without a cause, right?"
"Yeah." Huang Lingzhu nodded in agreent. "In that case, you can continue your cultivation, and I’ll go to the Chaos Dragon to et Long Hun. After that, I will bring so of the immortals over, and they will protect you all as long as you guys are cultivating in this realm."
Before Ling Yun’s clone could stop her, Huang Lingzhu had already disappeared from the void realm. He sighed softly before sitting down in his place again, and he imdiately continued his cultivation again.

At Yunlong Zhuzhai, another Ling Yun clone conversed with Sheng Ming, Ling Xi, Xue Jing, and several other won. He told them about Huang Lingzhu’s failure to eliminate Yuan Shijia, but he didn’t tell them about their conversation regarding the Chaos, especially since it was still just speculation and unproven.
"I never thought that Yuan Shijia was a madwoman! She did all that just because Long Hun was dead." Sheng Ming spoke angrily.
Ling Xi laughed at that. "You still don’t understand the true aning of love, and love can make anyone lose their rationality, including when I sacrificed Invidia for our husband. Therefore, you shouldn’t be surprised if Yuan Shijia acts irrationally, and he might do even crazier things in the future."
"Yeah." Sheng Ming nodded in agreent. "Since Huang Lingzhu can’t find Yuan Shijia’s hiding place, they can’t destroy those fake immortals either. Moreover, she has already declared her intentions toward our husband loudly and clearly, so we have to think of sothing to stop her."
Ling Xi shrugged helplessly. "What can we do now? Yuan Shijia can create as many fake immortals as he wants, and he can order them to attack us whenever he wants."
"The only solution is to enter seclusion again, and we’ll fully focus on increasing our strength." Sheng Ming and the others agreed with Ling Yun’s clone.
