# Chapter 1501: Entering the Void Again
That place called the God Realm was indeed not suitable for Xia Yuanba at his current stage. Coupled with the impending calamity of the Demon God's return looming over the God Realm, there were far too many uncertainties. He would not allow Xia Yuanba to go to the God Realm at this time.
Two years... that could be considered a temporary agreement.
Not long after Xia Yuanba left, another person came straight toward him, shouting from a great distance: "Brother Yun, it's been a while! Meeting you is no easy task."
The visitor was full of heroic spirit, with a resolute and handsome face and an extraordinarily distinguished bearing. It was none other than Su Zhi Zhan, the young master of the Su Clan, one of the Twelve Guardian Clans of the Illusion Demon Realm.
Back when they faced the forces of Prince Huai, he had fought side by side with Yun Che. He was also the most amicable among the younger generation of the Twelve Guardian Clans.
"Brother Zhi Zhan, even you have come." Yun Che was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Haha," Su Zhi Zhan descended from the air and let out a hearty laugh. "Without Senior Xiao, there would be no Brother Yun as you are today. In that case, Senior Xiao is a great benefactor to our entire Illusion Demon Realm. As a guardian of the Illusion Demon Imperial Clan, how could I not come?"
Yun Che looked him up and down and said, "Judging by your expression, aside from celebrating my grandfather's birthday, it seems there's something else you want to discuss, right?"
"As expected, I can't hide anything from Brother Yun," Su Zhi Zhan said, his smile turning somewhat "reserved." "I heard that in a few more months, your daughter will reach the age of fifteen. That's only a little over a dozen months away from the age of marriage."
Yun Che: "..."
"My son, Han Lou, has just turned eighteen. His talent is unmatched among the younger generation of the Illusion Demon Realm, and he will surely become the head of the Su Clan in the future. The clan attaches great importance to his marriage and has found few worthy candidates. But your daughter—both my grandfather and father are extremely fond of her. If we could..."
"The Su Clan wants to form a marriage alliance with my Yun Clan and marry my daughter?" Yun Che said calmly, his expression unreadable.
"That is exactly my intention." Su Zhi Zhan nodded. He and Yun Che shared a congenial bond, and the Yun and Su Clans were equally matched in status and had long been connected like branches of the same tree. Others lacked the confidence to propose marriage to Yun Che, but the Su Clan was the most suitable candidate.
"Hmm..." Yun Che nodded, then raised his arm, pointed behind Su Zhi Zhan, and said slowly, "Get... the... hell... out!!"
"This..." Su Zhi Zhan had considered that Yun Che might politely decline, but he never expected such a response. He was about to say something more when he suddenly felt an icy... murderous intent radiating from Yun Che!
Yun Che's killing intent was no ordinary matter. Su Zhi Zhan, who was proud and fearless, shrank his neck, and even his voice trembled: "If... if that's the case, then we can discuss this another time."
"Discuss my ass! Get lost now!" Yun Che growled.
"...I'll go pay my respects to Senior Xiao first."
Su Zhi Zhan stepped back, cold sweat pouring down his entire body.
"Wait," Yun Che suddenly called out to him again. Su Zhi Zhan thought there might be a change of heart, but then heard him say leisurely, "Brother Zhi Zhan, please spread the word in the Demon Emperor City: from now on, whoever dares to come and propose marriage, I'll personally break their legs!"
"~!#$%..." Su Zhi Zhan fled in panic.
"Pfft..."
With a soft laugh, Xiao Lingxi walked over to Yun Che's side and said with a smile, "You and Young Master Su are such good friends. He only came to propose a marriage, why are you so angry?"
"Hmph! How dare he set his sights on my daughter? Not breaking his legs is already out of consideration for our friendship." Yun Che gritted his teeth fiercely, as if someone had touched his reverse scale.
"In the Demon Emperor City, the Yun Clan and the Su Clan are considered the most well-matched families." Xiao Lingxi said. Indeed, at the level of Lan Ji Star, among the very few families that could match Yun Wuxin, the Su Clan was one of them.
"Well-matched my ass! Some brat from the Su Clan wants to marry my daughter? Dream on!" Yun Che snorted coldly.
Wuxin had only been back with him for a few years, and now someone wanted to take her away? Although it hadn't actually happened yet, just the thought of it filled him with inexplicable rage.
Seeing Yun Che's gritted teeth, Xiao Lingxi covered her lips again.
"Not just me, but Yue Chan, and my parents would never agree either." Yun Che said gloomily. Looking at Xiao Lingxi, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he sent a voice transmission to the side: "Shadow Slave, retreat five hundred li away. Do not probe any aura within the range of the Xiao Sect."
Qianye Ying'er's aura immediately withdrew far away.
"Lingxi, let me show you something."
Taking Xiao Lingxi's hand, he led her into a room, quickly set up a isolation barrier, and then took out the stone slab that came from Qianye Ying'er.
The stone slab inscribed with the Heaven-Defying World Scripture!
The moment the stone slab was taken out, before Yun Che had even infused it with profound energy, a silver light suddenly bloomed on its surface.
It was even brighter and more intense than the light that burst forth when Qianye Ying'er infused it with profound energy.
As Yun Che was slightly stunned, the silver light detached from the stone slab, floated up, and then moved through the air, rapidly spreading out into a series of strange-shaped characters.
"..." Yun Che remained silent for a long time, his heart violently shaken.
Back then, when he had tried everything to probe the mysterious black jade from the Slay Moon Demon Lord, there was no reaction whatsoever. Yet when Xiao Lingxi approached, it suddenly produced a violent reaction, releasing a strange light that converged into floating strange-shaped characters.
And now, this stone slab was doing the same!
What in the world was going on!?
Xiao Lingxi's attention was drawn to the floating alien characters, and she didn't notice Yun Che's reaction. Her lips parted slightly, and she murmured softly, "It's that kind of writing again... Xiao Che, do you know what kind of writing this is now?"
"Mm," Yun Che nodded. "This writing is called Primordial God Script. Does that name ring any bells for you?"
"Primordial God Script?" Xiao Lingxi shook her head, very certain. "No. It sounds like a very ancient script."
Her beautiful eyes turned to him, and she asked with great anticipation, "Xiao Che, since you know the name of this script, does that mean you also know why I can recognize it?"
"Very simple," Yun Che smiled gently. "As I said last time, since this script is called 'God Script,' it means it carries its own spiritual nature and will only allow those destined to interpret it. Lingxi can recognize it, which means you have been acknowledged by this script."
"So that's really how it is." Xiao Lingxi murmured softly, and her doubts were resolved. Yun Che had been to the God Realm and had seen great things, so he naturally knew many things she didn't or couldn't understand. Although the explanation that "writing has spirituality" was quite profound, since it came from Yun Che's mouth, she didn't have the slightest doubt.
When Yun Che explained, his gaze was calm and his face wore a smile, but in reality, his heart was beating wildly and wouldn't stop.
The Primordial God Script that inscribed the Ancestral Divine Art, "Heaven-Defying World Scripture," could only be recognized by the four Creation Gods and the four Demon Emperors. This was not just a record in the God Realm, but also something said by Jie Yuan herself—and she said it with absolute certainty, leaving no room for doubt.
Even top-level figures in the God Realm like Qianye Ying'er, who ruled over the vast Fan Di God Realm, couldn't decipher the stone slab that bore the Heaven-Defying World Scripture.
Why... why could Xiao Lingxi recognize the Primordial God Script!?
Could it be that she was the reincarnation of some Creation God or Demon Emperor!?
However, the records of the ancient era in the God Realm all stated that the gods and demons had completely perished in both body and soul, making reincarnation impossible. There had never been any claim in the God Realm about the reincarnation of true gods or true demons.
Jie Yuan herself had never tried to search for the reincarnation of the Evil God, clearly demonstrating that even in the cognition of a Demon Emperor, such a thing simply didn't exist.
Even if reincarnation did exist, there was no reason for her to retain past knowledge.
Yun Che's explanation to Xiao Lingxi was to prevent her from having unnecessary doubts and unease, but at the same time, wasn't he also forcibly trying to comfort himself?
Maybe... it really was just that the Primordial God Script was fated with Lingxi... that must be it...
"Xiao Che, do you want me to read it out for you?" While Yun Che's thoughts were in turmoil, Xiao Lingxi's voice came to his ears.
"Ah... yes." Yun Che nodded.
As the Ancestral Divine Art that even the Creation Gods and Demon Emperors couldn't touch, if Yun Che said he wasn't interested, that would be an outright lie.
Moreover, during the time after his rebirth and crippling, the "Void" realm he had suddenly entered had always left him unable to let go.
Xiao Lingxi lightly acknowledged, looked up, moved her lips slightly, and began to read slowly: "Kun Wu Xu, Qian Nian Sheng, Yi Duo Zhi Suo Zhong, Qing You Zhi Chong Shen, Meng Fei Meng, Meng Yi Meng, Long [?] You Er Huan Xi..."
Xiao Lingxi read slowly, and Yun Che listened quietly. The floating Primordial God Script—he couldn't recognize a single character. Even when Xiao Lingxi interpreted it, he still couldn't understand it at all, just like last time. Its meaning completely eluded him.
But, unconsciously, Xiao Lingxi's voice in his ears seemed to become more and more distant, more and more prolonged, more and more ethereal...
Without realizing it, he closed his eyes. The voice in his ears still made no sense to him, but in front of him, all around him, a strange world silently unfolded.
This world was completely empty. There was no physical existence. No sound, no light, no aura...
Even his own existence couldn't be felt.
It was a sensation of "nothingness" that was both incredibly real and incredibly illusory.
This bizarre void world was not his first time entering it. During the period when he was crippled, his consciousness had once sunk into this world... It seemed like an epiphany, a strange epiphany that appeared in a state without profound power, but he hadn't truly realized anything at all. Neither his spirit nor his body had changed in the slightest.
At least, that was how he felt.
In the void world, a faint, illusory figure appeared at this moment.
It was the silhouette of a woman, like a dream or smoke—the same strange figure that had appeared in this peculiar world last time. She seemed to be looking at Yun Che, and her voice echoed through his world of consciousness:
"To be able to enter this world again... it seems you have touched upon a deeper level of the Void Law."
"..." Yun Che couldn't make any sound.
"What is illusion? What is reality?"
"Sometimes, illusion is illusion, and reality is reality. Sometimes, illusion is reality, and reality is merely illusion."
"You, who have already touched the Void Law, may be able to see more of 'reality.'"
"It's a pity..."
The voice suddenly faded, and the empty world also dissipated.
"..." Yun Che opened his eyes, a complete blank in his gaze.
"Ah?" A startled cry came from beside him. Xiao Lingxi hurried over: "Xiao Che, you're finally awake."
"Oh," Yun Che quickly came back to his senses and explained, "It seems I suddenly entered an epiphany state just now."
After saying that, he suddenly noticed that there was another person present. Turning his head, he saw Su Linger standing nearby, smiling at him. He was momentarily stunned and asked, "Linger, when did you arrive?"
"Hehe, it's because Sister Lingxi was too worried about you, so she kept me here to keep you company." Su Linger walked over and casually asked, "What did you comprehend this time?"
Yun Che furrowed his brow and shook his head: "Nothing at all."
An epiphany state was something that could be encountered but not sought. When a profound practitioner entered such a state, they would surely gain a deeper understanding and progress in their profound power or profound arts.
But Yun Che's two epiphanies had left him feeling as though he hadn't comprehended anything at all... He only vaguely remembered that empty world and that ethereal, strange woman's voice.
That voice said that he had taken another step closer to the "Void Law."
But why did he have not even the slightest sense of enlightenment?
He didn't even know what the Void Law actually was.
Could it be that the Void Law itself was nothingness?
At this moment, Yun Che suddenly noticed something.
Before asking Xiao Lingxi to interpret the stone slab inscribed with the Heaven-Defying World Scripture, he had deliberately set up an isolation barrier.
With his level of power, no one on this planet could break it, and without his orders, Qianye Ying'er would not dare to interfere with a barrier he personally set.
Yet Su Linger was here.
Unless... seven days had passed and the barrier had dissipated on its own.
Yun Che jolted violently and asked urgently, "How long have I been in this state?"
"Over half a month already," Su Linger said.
"What!?" Yun Che jumped up in shock.
For profound practitioners, epiphanies lasting several years were common. At the level of the God Realm, a single epiphany lasting several decades or even centuries was nothing unusual.
Although it was difficult to accurately perceive the passage of time in an epiphany state, one could still get a rough sense of it.
But when Yun Che had fallen into that "Void World," he clearly felt that only about ten breaths of time had passed!
Last time, when he saw Jie Yuan, she told him to come find her in a month, and she would give him an "answer."
The time he had stayed on Lan Ji Star, plus this sudden half-month epiphany, had already exceeded a month!
This was the time limit set by Jie Yuan, and it concerned the fate of the chaos itself. If he was late, the consequences would be dire!
Yun Che felt as if his tail was on fire and said urgently, "I have to go to Cang Yun Continent immediately. I don't know what will happen after that—it's possible I won't be able to return for a short while... Let Grandfather and Wuxin and the others know for me."
With that, he paid no further heed to anything else, turned into a fleeting shadow, and sped far away.
"Ah, Xiao Che!" Xiao Lingxi called out softly, but Yun Che was already far gone in an instant.
"It seems there really is some urgent matter." Su Linger murmured. "I'll go tell the other sisters."
As her words fell, she received no response from Xiao Lingxi. Su Linger turned her gaze and found Xiao Lingxi staring blankly in the direction Yun Che had left, as if her soul had wandered away.
The world before her eyes had suddenly turned pitch black.
A darkness so pure, so boundless, and so terrifyingly deep.
It wasn't so much a dark world as it was more like a bottomless dark abyss.
Yun Che's figure gradually faded into the darkness, as if falling into the abyss... farther and farther, deeper and deeper... until his entire silhouette was completely swallowed by the darkness.
"Sister Lingxi!?"
"Ah?" The call so close to her ear jolted Xiao Lingxi back to her senses.
"You... what's wrong?" Su Linger looked at her with some concern.
The world in her sight had returned to normal. The inexplicable dark abyss seemed to be no more than a fleeting hallucination. Xiao Lingxi shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing. My eyes seemed to blur for a moment."
"Hehe, honestly," Su Linger laughed, "Every time Brother Yun Che leaves, you become absent-minded. You might as well just stick to Brother Yun Che's side forever."
"..." Xiao Lingxi lowered her head, her lips pressed together, but she didn't smile. For some reason, her heartbeat had become a mess, and her entire body was flooded with an inexplicable sense of unease.
