Chapter 437: Surrender
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Li Yunmu stood in place for a long time with a gloomy expression.
[Host, let's see what he has to say,] the system suggested to Li Yunmu after a while, but he still didn't move.
At that moment, he was really unhappy. Although the remnant will was far inferior to the master of the cave, it was still an existence which was truly powerful when compared with Li Yunmu.
It was just a wisp of its former self, but it had still been able to forcefully pass through the restriction of Void Disk and his heavenly world, watching his every move.
This both shocked and terrified Li Yunmu to his core. Luckily, even if the remnant soul was extremely powerful, it could only accomplish that much. If Li Yunmu wanted to disregard everything and step on the spatial bridge to return to Earth, he could do that. And he wanted that more than anything else.
But given that the remnant soul had stopped him right when he was about to do it, he was eerily certain that if he didn't take the step forward but entered his heavenly world to understand what was happening, he wouldn't be able to return for a long time.
But the system's reminder cooled Li Yunmu's mind. His reason returned, and he ruthlessly spit out, "Alright."
The next instant, he entered his heavenly world.
Once he entered did so, he looked at the enormous Void Disk hanging in the sky. It was still rotating and confining the remnant will, so it was certain that the remnant will hadn't escaped.
But although it was only a wisp, its original body had definitely been extraordinary. Because of that, even if Li Yunmu had placed it in his heavenly world, it was still able to peek its head out.
When all was said and done, the level of Li Yunmu's heavenly world was too low. Fortunately, he was only dealing with a wisp of the main soul; otherwise, he would have had no methods to restrain it.
Li Yunmu didn't talk any nonsense and directly voiced the main point. "So why should I not return to my homeland?"
"First, let me introduce myself. I come from the Ancient God Era, and my title is Undercurrent. Little guy, you cannot return to the fifty-fifth plane at this time because my main body has already awakened and is recovering there. If you return, he will immediately sense you and take your life, which would quicken his recovery… This outcome would be catastrophic both to you and your homeland."
The remnant will's voice had returned to normal from the weakened stated earlier.
His words were completely to the point, and Li Yunmu felt a sharp sword being thrust into his heart. His intuition had come true. For a moment, he fell silent. He was aware that whether it was the master of the cave or the main body of the remnant will, both of them were at a level which he was unable to imagine.
But he hadn't expected that even with such thoughts he would still be underestimating the remnant will's existence. Ancient God Era was an extremely old time in the history of the Origin World. According to the data collected by the system in the library of Whale City, it had passed twelve thousand years ago.
And even further in the past compared to the Ancient God Era was the Ancient Eon. That was right, the measuring unit was eno and not era, an entire eon. After the many years, there weren't any written records of that period.
If the remnant will in front of him had given a truthful introduction, then it was an ancient god that belonged to the ancient period which had stronger people compared to the deities to the present Origin World.
Beings recognized as true ancient god in the Origin World were not only higher existences than the deities, they were also much more knowledgeable and powerful. If the remnant will got out into the Origin World, it would definitely create many waves.
But… Li Yunmu wasn't an idiot. The other party had introduced itself as an entity which everyone would look up to, but in reality, Li Yunmu was extremely clear about what sort of existence it was.
In pleasant words, it was a senior ancient god!
But in unpleasant words, it was just a wisp of a soul which had separated from an ancient god. Once because of how terrifying that ancient god was could it develop its own consciousness after countless years.
"Wrong, you are indeed from Ancient God Age, but you don't have any ancient god title or any divine abilities. You are only wisp of a remnant soul which had separated from the main body.
"So quickly tell me everything you know about this matter as well as share all the knowledge you collected during your years of life. If you do so, I will let you remain alive; otherwise, I will proceed according to my original plan and refine you into a tonic for my ape gods."
Li Yunmu's voice was calm, but there was a hint of anger beneath his calmness. He wasn't feeling well. Even if it was anyone else in his place who was just about to return to his homeland but was forcibly stopped by someone with a nonsensical reason, they also wouldn't be able to remain in a good mood.
If the remnant will continued with the arrogance of an ancient god and put on airs, Li Yunmu would immediately refine it to cultivate an ancient battle ape god.
"Alright, you win. Damn it, you are a complete opposite of a normal descender. Your knowledge about the Origin World surpasses what you should know by way too much."
The remnant soul had very sharp instincts and instantly understood Li Yunmu's thoughts. Its plan to act like the main body and intimidate Li Yunmu was abandoned without a second thought.
"You better spit out everything you know. Why should I not return to Earth and why is your main body near my plane? Why did you say just now that it would come to capture me? Else you will certainly died. I will erase every trace of your existence in this world," Li Yunmu stated in a cold voice.
In his eyes, there were no deities or gods. After being influenced by the system's concept of absolute power, he held nothing else in his mind but it.
And at that moment he knew that he was in complete control. With his strength, he didn't need to care about what sort of remnant soul was the other party.
If it didn't surrender, it should just die.
After his ultimatum, the remnant will surrendered, which clearly proved that deities weren't any unimaginable existences. As long as one had enough strength to grasp their fate, the so-called deities would be nothing better than trash.
The remnant will gradually told everything it knew to Li Yunmu. Once it did so, Li Yunmu finally understood what was happening. He also found out from where the black mist which affected his homeland had come.
