Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1247 Qingmei

Hongyue wasn't surprised because of the existence of the spirit, but rather she understood how difficult a world's core is to have its own spiritual consciousness.

From what she knew, it would take billions of years to give birth to a spiritual consciousness. No matter how she looked, this Azure World was nowhere close to a hundred thousand years… How could its spirit appear here?

"Power of time…?" Hongyue muttered to herself. The only thing she could think of was it had something to do with the power of time.

"I perceive a Divine Sense. This should be the Red Moon Princess." The female voice resounded in Yun Lintian's head.

Yun Lintian calmed down and said. "Yes. It's her."

When he was about to tell Hongyue, he suddenly heard her say. "Amazing. She could actually talk to me directly."

Yun Lintian was stunned. "You heard it?"

"Yes," Hongyue replied. She looked at the azure orb and asked. "It must be the Beyond Heaven King who arranged all of this, right?"

"He was the one who gave me life." The world's core replied.

A strange light flashed through Hongyue's eyes upon hearing this. Everything had become clearer in her mind. It seemed her conjecture was correct.

Yun Lintian asked. "Why did you bring me in?"

"It's nothing. I just want to talk with you." The world's core responded. Her voice seemed to contain a trace of loneliness.

Yun Lintian went silent for a moment and asked. "Are the spatial tunnels connecting to you? Can you shut them off?"

"They are indeed connected to me. More precisely, to my power." The world's core answered. "Unfortunately, no. I cannot shut it off even if I want to. The Beyond Heaven King has left this matter to you."

Yun Lintian didn't know what to say further. He fell into silence for a long while and asked. "You said you have been watching me. Do you know everything that is happening in this world?"

"Not really." The world's core replied. "It's because you have Master's aura that I can pay attention to you. Generally, I can only perceive this world's environment, and I cannot interfere with anything."

"Master? So he's your Master?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised.

"Mhm! He let me call him this." The world's core replied.

Yun Lintian's mouth twitched slightly. A picture of an old man forced the world's core to call him Master automatically appeared in his mind… As expected from a shameless old man.

"He didn't give you a name?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.

"He said he's not good at naming people." The world's core replied.

Inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue's face twitched slightly.

"It seems you have indeed passed this skill to your successor." She glanced at Linlin and Qingqing on Yun Lintian's shoulders with a trace of pity. They could have had a better name but ended up with such a simple and meek name instead.

"I see." Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and asked. "Why don't I give you a name? It's a bit difficult to talk with someone who has no name."

"Really? You want to give me a name? Please do so." The world's core was overjoyed.

Yun Lintian was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect a strong reaction from her.

He thought for a moment and said. "How about Qingmei? It means beautiful azure."

"Qingmei… Thank you. I like it." The world's core repeated the name a few times and said in delight.

Yun Lintian smiled slightly. He felt that the spirit of the world's core was like a lonely child. Just a name could make her happy.

It was as if she saw through his thoughts, Hongyue suddenly said. "She's indeed a child. From the look of it, she should have been born around ten thousand years ago. Even with the power of time, she is no different from a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid."

Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He looked at the azure orb and asked. "Can you talk with me anywhere in this world?"

"Yes. But I cannot contact you if you enter the Land of Beyond Heaven." The world's core, Qingmei, responded.

"Understood." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "I will try my best to destroy the spatial tunnels and prevent those people from the Divine Realm from taking you away."

"Thank you," Qingmei said softly.

"How does the power of time works?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Although I am the spiritual consciousness of the world's core, I cannot use its power at will," Qingmei explained. "As for the power of time, I don't really understand it myself. It's beyond my comprehension."

Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. It was the first time he heard that an artifact's spirit had no idea about its artifact.

"The law of time is one of the most mysterious and powerful laws among the four great laws. It's normal for her to have no clue about it, even if she's its spirit. Just like Qingqing. She's The Storm's spirit, but she cannot understand or use it to the fullest." Hongyue explained.

Yun Lintian nodded inwardly.

He took a deep breath and said. "Then I will leave first."

"Alright," Qingmei responded with a trace of sadness in her voice.

Yun Lintian said softly. "Don't worry. You can contact me whenever you want."

"Really? Thank you." Qingmei said happily.

Yun Lintian smiled and asked. "Are you sure those people outside cannot break the barrier?"

"Mhm! Their strength is not enough to even shake the barrier." Qingmei replied confidently.

"That's good to hear… I'll go now." Yun Lintian nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

"Can you promise me one thing?" Qingmei suddenly said.

Yun Lintian was surprised and asked. "What is it?"

"You have to come to me when you face a problem that you cannot solve with your strength," Qingmei said in a serious tone.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly, but he didn't ask anything. He responded. "I promise you."

"There's another thing. The spatial disturbance around the Chaotic Sea Region has completely disappeared now. There's no danger anymore. You can go there with ease." Qingmei said.

"Understood. Thank you for telling me this." Yun Lintian said and turned around, walking out of the barrier.
