Ling Yun's clone was stunned when he opened his eyes, especially with Hua Xianren on his lap. "What are you doing?"

"Why don't you ask him?" Hua Xianren pointed her index finger at Long Hun.

Ling Yun's clone looked at his predecessor with a questioning look, prompting Long Hun to explain everything to him. He then looked at Hua Xianren again and rubbed her cheek. "I know you watched me from the first floor of the tower until I left the tower, and you repeatedly peeked at my activities with them, but I didn't expect you to develop such feelings for me."

"Haha." Hua Xianren laughed at that. "I guess it's the will of fate?"

"Maybe." Ling Yun's clone then pointed to one of the areas of the primordial realm. "Huang Lingzhu, you can try searching that area."

Huang Lingzhu raised an eyebrow. "What should I look for there?"

"What else if not Yuan Shijia?" Ling Yun responded with a shake of his head.

"I've already searched the area before, and—"

"I don't know how to explain it to you." Ling Yun's clone then lifted Hua Xianren to her feet. "While I was concentrating on my cultivation, I suddenly gained insight into the situation in this realm, and I discovered something unusual about that area. If my guess is correct, Yuan Shijia should be in that area right now, but you can't see him for some reason."

"Let's go there." Long Hun immediately entered Ling Yun's clone's soul space.

A while later, they had already arrived at the area Ling Yun's clone was referring to, and Long Hun hurriedly went out again to check the surrounding area. Huang Lingzhu and Hua Xianren also tried to check it, but they couldn't see anything there.

Ling Yun's clone and Long Hun stretched their hands forward as if they were touching empty air, but they were actually touching something that no one else could see or feel. "Old dragon."

"Yes." Long Hun nodded in agreement with him.

Huang Lingzhu tried to mimic their actions by reaching out to touch the air, but her hand went through empty air instead. "What have you found and felt here?"

"We—"

"What are you all doing here?" All of them looked at Huang Hao, who had just arrived.

Long Hun spoke directly to Huang Hao. "Hao'er, try using your chaos abilities to touch the air in front of us, just like we do."

"Hmm?" Although she was confused by this, Huang Hao immediately did as Long Hun asked. Her expression instantly changed as she felt her palm touch something invisible to the eye. "This."

"Hey! Tell us what you two found here." Hua Xianren spoke.

Huang Lingzhu also seriously awaited their answer, prompting Long Hun to explain. "You two can't see or touch it because you don't have chaos abilities like us."

"You mean—"

"Yes." Long Hun nodded at them. "I don't know what my father was thinking, but he deliberately created a separate space in this area, and we can touch it solely because of our chaotic abilities."

Huang Lingzhu's expression turned even more serious. "Does that mean Yuan Shijia is really in front of us, but we can't see him?"

"I guess so."

"How can you sense that, Ling Yun?"

Ling Yun's clone shook his head at Hua Xianren. "I really can't find the right words to explain it to you, but I felt something change within me after I entered this realm, and that change is still ongoing."

"Changes?" Huang Lingzhu, Huang Hao, and Hua Xianren looked at Ling Yun's clone, seriously observing his body.

"It's useless; you guys won't be able to find anything in my body." Ling Yun's clone raised his fists and clenched them. "I can feel the change, but I can't find the right words to describe it. Somehow I can feel this universe, and I feel that this universe is like a part of me."

Huang Lingzhu, Huang Hao, and Hua Xianren were shocked to hear that. "How—"

"So, it's true, huh?" The three women turned to Long Hun. "My father said that Ling Yun was born of Tang Xiao's will, which was accidentally left behind in this universe. That man was the cause of its birth, and his will was no different from its core, surpassing my father."

"You mean—"

"Yes." Long Hun nodded to Huang Lingzhu before patting Ling Yun's clone's shoulder. "He was born to replace my father and take over his position; only then can those cycles be stopped."

"What cycles?"

"Birth, growth, dying, destruction." Hua Xianren looked confused by this. "Huang Lingzhu and I were the first two living beings born in this universe, so we both belong to the birth cycle. Since you two were born after the primordial era ended, you guys belong to the growth cycle. The growth cycle negatively impacts this universe, triggering the dying cycle, which will lead to its destruction; in other words, it initiates the destruction cycle. Once this universe is destroyed, the birth cycle will start all over again."

Hua Xianren took a deep breath after realizing something. "You mean this universe will be forever trapped in an endless loop of birth, growth, dying, and destruction, right?"

"Yes." Long Hun nodded to Hua Xianren. "My father explained that we can only stop the cycle by defeating him and replacing him. The only person who can do that is Ling Yun, because he was born from Tang Xiao's will. If he fails to defeat my father, there will be no more opportunities in the future, and this universe will be forever trapped in an endless loop of birth, growth, dying, and destruction."

Huang Hao then asked. "You previously said that Tang Xiao's will has surpassed your father's, so it should never disappear, right? His will should remain in existence forever, and it could give birth to another Ling Yun in the new era."

"Why do you think that?" Ling Yun's clone responded with a shake of his head. "Do you want to die so badly? Unlike you, I don't want to die because I have many precious things in my life. All my wives, children, and family members mean a lot to me, so I will never allow them to die along with this universe. No matter what, I will defeat Chaos and replace its position, and I will reorganize this universe afterwards."
