Chapter 1096: Huang Tianyuan
Otherwise, she would be risking her life to enter that place alone, and her current strength would undoubtedly lead to her death. Unlike you two, I've lived too long, and I've witnessed the ups and downs in our universe.
Every time the spirit of the void dies, this universe undergoes significant changes, as the void is the outermost part of our universe, and these changes will be detrimental to all living creatures within it."
"What kind of changes have occurred in the past?" Zao Nianjian asked.
"Far in the past, there was an era that we called the era of emptiness." Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo immediately put on serious expressions before Zhizun Buxiu continued. "In that era, many living beings and planets disappeared, and the cause was the death of the first void spirit.
Her death caused the void to become chaotic and unstable, swallowing many planets and the living beings within them, leading to an almost total emptiness in the universe. Despite this, a significant number of living creatures and planets managed to survive the impact of her death, and it ended with the birth of the second void spirit.
After that, new planets slowly began to emerge, and the universe became full again. So you two should already understand the horror of the chaos in the void, right? If the current spirit of void dies, then the incident will happen again, especially since the deaths of her predecessors also caused it.
However, the birth period of each spirit of void is different; some are born quickly, but some are born a bit late, so the period of disaster that occurs due to their death will be various."
"Doesn't that mean the void is no less terrifying than that darkness?" Zao Nanjian asked while pointing at the screen.
Zhizun Buxiu nodded to Zao Nianjian, and he then picked up a wine gourd. "You can think of it as our universe, and its outer layer is the space that surrounds it, allowing planets and living beings to exist within it."
Even though they didn't have the slightest understanding of the void or the space, Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo could still understand Zhizun Buxiu's meaning.
*Crack*
*Splurt*
The wine inside the gourd instantly gushed out after Zhizun Buxiu made a small hole in it. "The void lies outside the space, and the space cannot exist without the void. If the void becomes unstable and chaotic, it will damage and destroy the space, causing the contents within it to be sucked into the void."
"The void sucked in most of its contents, leading to the era of emptiness."
"Yes." Zhixun Buxiu nodded to Long Tianhuo. "The chaos is even more terrifying than the void because it is the core of everything, and its darkness will destroy the void. If the void is destroyed, the space and everything in it will be completely destroyed, so this universe will return to darkness and emptiness.
I don't know if a new universe will form after the old one is destroyed, but we can't just stand by and let our universe be destroyed, so we have to think of something to stop it. Unfortunately, none of us has the ability to face the chaos, so Ling Yun is our main hope, and we will be his support. What are his future plans once he successfully completes the mysterious tower?"
Long Tianhuo directly informed Zhizun Buxiu. "After he completes the mysterious tower, Ling Yun will settle his final matters in the upper realms before going to the supreme realm, but he will not appear in public, and he will bring all his wives into seclusion for a few years."
"What's his problem?"
"The Netherworld Realm in the upper realms." Zhizun Buxiu raised his eyebrows slightly. "One of his wives is a demon from that realm, and her past is a bit complicated. That's why Ling Yun wants to go to that realm and sort things out, so his wife will no longer be burdened by her past, and she can focus on facing the problems in front of them."
"His choice is indeed the best solution because the burden of our past will continue to weigh us down in our future path, so he must help his wife to remove that burden from her heart, or she will only be a burden to him." Suddenly, Zhizun Buxiu pulled out a scroll made of beast skin and handed it to Long Tianhuo.
"You can give it to him after he arrives in our realm, and it will help him perfect himself as the sole heir of the primordial chaos dragon. Anyway, he is the only one who can go to that place, so you don't need to try to go there, especially since you won't be able to do anything there without the primordial chaos dragon bloodline."
"Is this a location map of one of the primordial chaos dragon's body parts?"
"No." Zhizun Buxiu responded to Long Tianhuo with a shake of his head. "The Time Lord was the one who killed the primordial chaos dragon, so she is the only person who knows the location of his body parts. However, the primordial chaos dragon still has a connection to that place, and Ling Yun, his successor, is the next master of that place."
"How did you get that map?"
"There are some things that don't need to be discussed, especially since those things will sometimes bring bad consequences to us and others." Zao Nianjian nodded in understanding to Zhizun Buxiu. "All right, you two can go back now, and you must prepare many things to support Ling Yun so he can face the chaos in the future.
As for Xie Zuzhou, you two don't need to worry about him, as I and someone else will handle him, and he will never be able to fight us."
Following the departure of Long Tianhuo and Zao Nianjian from his private residence, Zhiziun Buxiu promptly took out an item before disappearing from the location.

Sometime later, Zhizun Buxiu appeared in front of a high mountain, and he immediately activated the device in his hand before walking towards the mountain. Although there was no change in the mountain, he was able to enter it as if there was nothing in front of him, and he arrived in a valley filled with plants and beasts.
Upon spotting Zhizun Buxiu, the beasts promptly moved aside, creating a path for him. He swiftly made his way to the deepest part of the valley, where a magnificent mansion stood at its end.
Zhizun Buxiu then looked at the golden sign with the words Sky in front of the mansion. "Senior Huang Tianyuan, I come with important news for you."
In an instant, a golden light shot out from within the Sky Mansion, and it turned into a woman with long golden hair. However, her body was not real, but rather a projection. "What kind of news do you bring me, Buxiu?"
"After several eras have passed, the successor of the primordial chaos dragon finally appeared in this era, and he is currently strengthening himself in the mysterious tower." Zhizun Buxiu immediately shared with her the details of his previous conversations with Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo.
"In accordance with your prophecy, he has a relationship with the spirit race, and three of his wives are members of that race. One of them is the current spirit of void, and I have sent the memories of her predecessor to her, but she still has to work hard to regain the memories of her other predecessors."
"You don't have to worry about her; the current spirit of void is destined to become the true void ruler and surpass even the first void spirit. Moreover, the successor of the primordial chaos dragon has appeared and is by her side, so I'm sure she will succeed in obtaining their memories, and she will be his main force to stop the chaos." Huang Tianyuan then looked back.
"The key to opening my mansion is already in the hands of the successor of the primordial chaos dragon, but he still needs time to reach this place."
"How did he get the key, Senior? Didn't you inform me that the key vanished a long time ago? Even you yourself couldn't track down the key's whereabouts." Zhizun Buxiu asked in surprise.
"He got it from Huang Lingzhu." Zhizun Buxiu was even more surprised to hear that. "After she killed the primordial chaos dragon, she immediately collected numerous items to assist his successor in stopping the chaos, one of which was the key to my mansion. At first, I couldn't find its whereabouts, but I sensed its appearance about a week ago, and it is in his hands now.
Unfortunately, she still doesn't realize that the primordial chaos dragon is playing tricks on her, and he arranged everything for her to kill him."
"Huh?" Huang Tianyuan's last sentence shocked Zhizun Buxiu. "Why did the primordial chaos dragon do that? Why did he choose to die at the hands of the Time Lord?"
Huang Tianyuan let out a soft sigh. "The primordial chaos dragon is the son of the Chaos, and he has long been aware of the Chaos's intention to destroy this universe. However, he did not have the ability to stop it because he was not perfect, but he heard about a few things from Huang Lingzhu, so he planned everything without her knowledge, and the result was according to his expectations.
The man with nine elements is his successor, and his relationship with the spirit races has proven my prophecy to be true, so I believe he will succeed in stopping the chaos."
"Senior, I have some questions in my mind these days, and I hope you can tell me the answers." Huang Tianyuan immediately turned to Zhizun Buxiu. "What will happen after he successfully stops the chaos? Will he become the chaos itself? Or will he control the chaos?"
Huang Tianyuan shakes his head in response. "I've been dead for a long time, and this is just a mere projection of my soul remaining in this mansion, so I no longer have my old abilities as the first Seer. That's why I can't see his future, and the only person who can see his future is the Seer of this era."
"Do you know the location of the Seer of this era?"
"No." Zhizun Buxiu seemed disappointed with Huang Tianyuan's answer. "Buxiu, you can tell the successor of the primordial chaos dragon about this place, but I forbid you from helping him reach here; he must come here with his own strength."
"Yes, I understand, Senior."
