A cold smile touched Yun Lintian's lips. "Because I know Nian Shi. He already has an agreement with Yin, but it's limited—only on the surface. Nian Shi has to guard against Yin just as much as we do."
"After all… Yin is an existence equivalent to the Creator. Neither Nian Shi nor I are his match alone."
The words hung heavily in the air.
Yue Yun clenched her fists. "Then what's your plan?"
Yun Lintian turned his gaze toward the shattered sky, where remnants of divine battles still lingered. "For now… we play along. Nian Shi wants to eliminate Yin first—so do I. After that…" His voice trailed off, but the unspoken truth was clear.
After that, we settle our own war.
Yue Yun exhaled sharply. "You're gambling with the fate of all existence."
Yun Lintian met her gaze, his own unwavering. "I know."
Silence descended.
A moment later, Long Si sighed and said. "It seems this is the only way."
