Chapter 1938 Heavenly Mandate (2)

??Yun Lintian was stunned for a moment and quickly replied. "Are you the Heavenly Mandate Spirit?"

"Yes." The aged voice resounded. "More precisely, I am merely a residual soul of the original Heavenly Mandate Spirit."

Yun Lintian found a nearby teahouse and entered. After entering a private booth, he asked. "What do you want to talk about with me?"

"Nothing. I want to remind you of an upcoming danger." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit responded.

"Are you referring to the Primordial God Tribe or the threat from the forsaken land?" Yun Lintian poured Qingqing and Linlin cups of tea as he asked.

He suddenly thought of Qin Chan, the Heavenly Mandate Realm practitioner he had met in the Primordial God Forsaken Realm. She seemed to talk about the threat from the forsaken land.

"Yes," The Heavenly Mandate Spirit explained. "I can feel my aura from you. Presumably, you must have met one of my disciples over there."

"The Heavenly Mandate Realm originally belonged to Tian Yu, the Diviner of Heaven's Will. As his title suggested, he was a true god under the God of Heaven."

"At the end of the Primordial War, he left a prophecy behind, and it has been passed down to the Heavenly Mandate Spirit."

"However, the Heavenly Mandate Spirit was severely injured at that time and could barely survive. Most of its power and memories had long disappeared. What I have left in my mind is a fragment of a prophecy."

"Stars may glitter, a celestial feast, but hunger grows within the beast. That is the phrase of the prophecy."

"Stars may glitter… a celestial feast… but hunger grow within the beast? What does it mean?" Yun Lintian repeated the sentence with a frown.

"Unfortunately, I don't understand it as well." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit replied.

"I have accumulated my power for millions of years and spent it on divination. What I see is the forsaken land growing larger and starting to consume the Divine Realm, including the entire Primal Chaos."

"There is another phrase that appeared during the divination. When the celestial lotus withers and dies, a serpent's venom taints the skies."

"When the celestial lotus withers and dies… A serpent's venom taint the skies?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow deeply. It was too cryptic and vague that he had no way to understand.

Who was the celestial lotus here? And who was the serpent?

"That is all I can help you with." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit said calmly.

Yun Lintian went silent for a long time and then asked. "Since you know that I have inherited the God of Fate's power. How much do you know about him?"

"According to the memory fragment, the God of Fate was quiet. He rarely interfered with worldly affairs but always displayed a sense of justice when he did. From my understanding, he was righteous and benevolent but wasn't naive or blindly advocating justice." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit answered.

Yun Lintian fell silent. He somehow felt that the God of Fate's personality was similar to his own.

"I have been watching you for a long time, and you quite resemble him in this aspect." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit spoke further.

Yun Lintian didn't deny it. "What else do you know?"

"He was the one who secretly helped my master, Tian Zhi, at a critical moment, allowing him to live for a period of time. It was enough for him to pass down this piece of memory and the prophecy he learned." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit answered.

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. "It seems he wanted your master to pass down the prophecy."

"Yes." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit agreed with the comment.

Yun Lintian repeated the prophecy phrase a few times but still couldn't understand it. There was no connection to whatever he had in his head.

"Why did he do everything in secret? It looked like he was hiding them from someone... Who was that?" Yun Lintian expressed his doubts.

"I'm afraid you have to figure it out by yourself." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit said.

Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and rubbed his temples. "Thank you for telling me this."

"Are you leaving soon?" The Heavenly Mandate Spirit asked.

"Yes. I'm heading to the Nine Heavens Realm." Yun Lintian replied truthfully.

"It is indeed the best place for your current strength." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit spoke. "Be careful out there. I can sense that the inheritor of the God of Heaven is on his way there."

"You can feel it?" Yun Lintian was surprised.

"I have been monitoring him since he had obtained the inheritance. He is very similar to the God of Heaven in the memory fragment. Ambitious, resolute, and confident. It isn't difficult to guess his plan." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit explained.

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slowly.

"The Nine Heavens Realm used to be a part of the God of Heaven's territory. It was located in a relatively remote place, which allowed it to survive the destruction of the war. It is one of the few places among the vast Primal Chaos that managed to survive." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit said further.

"In order to achieve his ambition, he must restore the Heavenly Court and reclaim the God of Heaven's legacy… I would like to request one thing from you. Please stop him."

"Why?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. Logically, this should be beneficial for the Heavenly Mandate Spirit. After all, it was considered a subordinate of the God of Heaven.

"It's my intuition. He doesn't deserve to inherit my lord's legacy." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit replied.

"Your intuition?" Yun Lintian felt strange.

He thought for a moment and said. "We are mortal enemies. We are destined to destroy each other. Even if you don't tell me, I will still kill him."

Compared to the others, Ren Yuan was the main culprit behind the downfall of the Beyond Heaven King, including Hongyue, Xia Nongyue, and Cai Xieren. It was impossible for Yun Lintian to spare him.

"You must remember my words today. Do not show mercy on him." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit said solemnly.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He felt that there was something more behind this. However, he didn't ask about it.

He drank a mouthful of tea and said. "Don't worry. I will never show mercy on him."

"If there is nothing further, I shall excuse myself now."

"I wish you good luck." The Heavenly Mandate Spirit spoke and then disappeared.

Yun Lintian looked at Qingqing and Linlin. "Let's go. We will walk around the city and then leave."
