Chapter 412: Ruthless Devouring

"So it was like this!"
After receiving the information from the shadow, Li Yunmu immediately understood everything.
He had never expected the true origin of the dimensional spaces in the Origin World. They apparently were divine planes created by ancient gods. The island actually wasn't a naturally-formed plane, but rather a man-made one created by an ancient god during ancient times.
However, could no longer be called a divine plane. When a plane lost its ancient god, it also lost its divinity. Because of that, they were no longer divine planes. After existing for so long by themselves, after their god had died, they gradually came to be known as dimensional spaces.
90% of the people didn't know about the origin of the dimensional planes. But once Li Yun became the successor of the island, the secret history was naturally explained to him.
In truth, the island was left behind by the ancient god who possessed the divinity of magnificent creatures. It was that ancient god's primary divinity.
This entire island had been created and nurtured by him, including the magnified plants, insects, wild beasts, birds, and so on. The only thing he didn't touch were things that weren't alive, like sand and rocks.
Due to that, when Li Yun obtained the boundary stele's approval, all the magnified life-forms became completely obedient to him. In reality, it was equivalent to gaining the control of the entire island.
From all that, one question arose immediately: How were the divine planes which had degraded to ordinary dimensional spaces different from Li Yunmu's heavenly world?
The answer was simple. The former was inherited from others while the latter was nurtured by oneself.
The difference between them was also that Li Yun had only obtained the resources left behind by the ancient god while Li Yunmu was capable of utilizing the world power of the entire heavenly world. Within it, he was a god.
Li Yunmu took a long time to absorb the information sent by Li Yun while also inputting it within the system's database for further analysis and deductions.
"You, are you still Elder Brother Yunmu?"
At some point of time, Wang Yan had walked to Li Yunmu's side and spoke to him with a haggard face.
Li Yunmu turned to look at her and replied only after a long time. "Perhaps for others I may no longer be the previous Li Yunmu, but for you, I will always be Elder Brother Yunmu."
"Really, no, even if you are lying, everything was worth it for this one line." A hint of a smile broke out on Wang Yan's haggard face. Soon after, she fell into Li Yunmu's embrace.
"Elder Brother Yunmu, if one day you find no choice but to fight against people of my world, Yan'er requests you that you should leave behind a bloodline of the people from my world," Wang Yan said and gradually closed her eyes.
[Host, she has swallowed a large amount of poison. She will die quickly,] the system warned Li Yunmu in his mind.
"What happened here? Did you poison her?"
Li Yunmu was suddenly enraged, but he discovered that the signs of her life were quickly depleting. Every hint of her vitality was fading away.
Such a situation was even more grave compared to that of the Widowed Nakht of Hall Clan.
Without any hesitation, Li Yunmu quickly took out the sacred life water and poured three drops into Wang Yan's mouth.
No reaction!
It was too late. Wang Yan had not left any opportunity for Li Yunmu to rescue her.
But the next instant, the outstanding life-saving technique Major Reversal began its work, and a green light enveloped Wang Yan's body.
Sacred life water together with Major Reversal were unbelievably potent. No one had expected that Li Yunmu would have such terrifying trump cards. Perhaps even Wang Yan herself hadn't expected that she, who was so certain of her death, would surprisingly be brought back to life.
Gradually, Wang Yan's cheeks gained some color. Li Yunmu had forcibly brought back a dead person to life!
When Zheng Quan and Luo Honghua saw it, a fear concealed in the depths of their eyes could be seen.
This Li Yunmu isn't only formidable, with strength surpassing other descenders, but also possesses outstanding life-saving techniques!
There truly wasn't any comparison between them. Li Yunmu was probably the greatest threat for any descender.
After a long while of trying to rescue Wang Yan, her vitality finally returned.
"System, her vitality has been restored, so why isn't she waking up?" Li Yunmu asked in a cold voice which would give chills to anyone who heard it.
[Although the large dose of poison had been cleared, she had swallowed a rare type of poison which attacks the nerves. Her brain has been damaged…] the system replied after a short silence.
"I only want to know how I can wake her up," Li Yunmu said, interrupting the system.
As a matter of fact, his emotions toward Wang Yan weren't that deep. Since the beginning, he hadn't thought of her in that way, but he knew that he owed her too much.
Honestly speaking, it could even be said that he had used Wang Yan's feelings toward him to learn the secret of ghost silk pollen. This was the true reason behind his guilty conscience.
However, although he knew it, if given another chance, he would take the same course of action. Because from the beginning, descenders from the others planes were his mortal enemies. Li Yunmu couldn't possibly miss this opportunity and allow Zheng Quan and his group to obtain the control of the island; it would decrease his own chances of survival .
After some pondering, the system gave a blunt reply. [According to the data gathered, the system doesn't have a response to host's question. Presently, everything depends on her will to live.]
Li Yunmu sighed deeply. His gaze suddenly fell on Zheng Quan and Luo Honghua.
"It isn't related to us, she herself took the poison out of shame," Zheng Quan hastily tried to clear his name.
"Yes, it really isn't related to you, but since Wang Yan is unable to live, then there's no need for you two to remain alive," Li Yunmu said in a soft voice.
But those words were like a death sentence to Luo Honghua and Zheng Quan.
"You cannot do this. Just now, you promised to let us live in front of everyone, saying that we can spend the rest of our lives on this island."
At that instant, Luo Honghua was finally afraid and began to panic.
Before this, she hadn't expected that the 'native' whom she disdained from the beginning would be able to take control of her life.
"I said it, but now… I changed my mind," Li Yunmu replied, which made Luo Honghua realize what sort of character she was facing.
It wasn't someone who clung to the old ideas of honor and pride, who could be deceived easily by her charm.
"No, let me live. I am ready to do anything for you, anything. As long as you let me live, I am willing to do anything, including using my body to entertain you."
Luo Honghua's legs went soft. She promptly knelt and started begging for forgiveness from Li Yunmu.
When facing death, this formidable woman who looked at all men in disdain finally revealed her most primitive instincts.
"Alright, then you go to hell first and wait for me there. You must wait for me nicely, ok?" Li Yunmu replied with delight while nodding.
The next instant, a red tongue wrapped around Luo Honghua who was screaming miserably. Before anyone could do anything, its owner swallowed her whole.
The sound of gulping caused everyone to tremble. After seeing that Li Yunmu remained unmoved in front of Luo Honghua's cries for mercy, everyone dispelled the nefarious intentions in their hearts. Compared to normal death, being devoured by a toad was far more terrifying.
