Xuan Yu also knew that it would be difficult for Ye Ling and the Heart Demon to accept the reality at the moment. He said, "I understand your current state. When I first learned about this, I also found it hard to accept and took quite some time to recover."
"However, it seems we don't have much time for you to come to terms with the facts now."
Ye Ling frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Xuan Yu explained, "My father and E have both gone to the Realm of Truth. They've been out of contact with us for a long time. The Hall of Myriad Realms is becoming increasingly unstable, and phantom puppets can appear at any moment, threatening the worlds within it."
"Good and Evil have been out of contact for a long time?" Ye Ling was slightly surprised. "How is that possible? I met Shan in the Hidden Ruins not too long ago."
Xuan Yu replied, "Time in the Pure White Realm and the Void are disconnected. While you were active in the Void, tens of thousands of years have passed in the Pure White Realm."
Ye Ling asked, "So, Good and Evil have been out of contact for tens of thousands of years? What exactly is the Realm of Truth?"
Xuan Yu said, "Only my father and E have been there. Every time they go, they are usually out of contact for a period, but they always return quickly. This time, however, is different... They have been gone for so long that the Hall of Myriad Realms is on the verge of collapse."
"What would be the consequences if the Hall of Myriad Realms collapses?" Ye Ling pressed.
Xuan Yu explained, "The worlds protected by the Hall of Myriad Realms are all worlds that are about to perish. Once the Hall of Myriad Realms collapses, all the books within it will be completely destroyed."
The Heart Demon asked, "If that's the case, why don't you go to the Realm of Truth to find Good and Evil?"
Xuan Yu replied, "We've tried, but we simply cannot enter that place."
Ye Ling inquired, "Even Master Ziyou can't do it?"
Xuan Yu nodded, "Yes... they can't get in. It seems only those who are recognized can enter. If you're not recognized, no amount of strength will allow you entry."
"Ye Ling, you are recognized as the Emperor Ancestor by my father. You are the most special existence in the Void. If you were to go, you should be able to manage it."
The Heart Demon asked, "Is that place dangerous?"
Xuan Yu shook his head, "I don't know. Father has never told us anything about it. Our work in the Pure White Realm is simply to find books that are about to perish and bring them to the Hall of Myriad Realms to sustain their existence."
"Ye Ling, I know it's presumptuous to suddenly ask you to go to such a dangerous place, but the situation is truly urgent. If it's possible, I hope you can help us this time."
With that, Xuan Yu bowed deeply to Ye Ling.
"What are you saying?" Ye Ling quickly supported Xuan Yu. "Both you and Shan have helped me a lot, and I've never had the chance to repay your kindness."
"Let alone the fact that the Hall of Myriad Realms is related to the safety of the Void, even if Shan were simply in danger, I would go to rescue him without hesitation!"
Ye Ling smiled at Xuan Yu and then looked at the Heart Demon, "Heart Demon, what about you?"
Seeing Ye Ling's gaze, the Heart Demon shrugged. "What are you looking at me for? I'm not an ungrateful person. If Xuan Yu hadn't saved us earlier, we would have been devoured by those phantom puppets."
"Since this life was a gift, exploring the Realm of Truth isn't a big deal."
"That's good. I thought you were scared," Ye Ling smiled at the Heart Demon and then looked at Xuan Yu, "Xuan Yu, take us there."
"Yes, this palace has a teleportation array that can directly take us to the Realm of Truth. Follow me!"
Xuan Yu nodded repeatedly and led Ye Ling and the Heart Demon through the great hall to a semi-transparent book enveloped by a white barrier.
Ye Ling looked at the semi-transparent book in front of him and remarked, "This book seems different from the other books in the Hall of Myriad Realms."
Xuan Yu explained, "Yes, according to my father, this is called the Book of Origin. It is the first book to be born in the Pure White Realm. All books containing worlds in the Pure White Realm are influenced by this book."
The Heart Demon examined the Book of Origin carefully and asked Xuan Yu, "So, as long as we enter this book, we can reach this so-called Realm of Truth."
Xuan Yu nodded, "Yes... but I've never entered it before, so I don't know what it's like inside. If you hesitate, you still have a chance to regret it now."
The Heart Demon said, "We've come this far, there's no turning back. Xuan Yu, just tell us, how do we get in?"
Xuan Yu replied, "Actually, it's simple to enter a book. You just need to touch it. However, the barrier outside the Book of Origin will block anyone who is not recognized."
"None of us can enter the barrier... Honestly, I'm still not sure if you can get in..."
The Heart Demon chuckled, "We'll know if we can get in by trying, won't we?"
With that, the Heart Demon directly placed his hand on the barrier outside the Book of Origin. The barrier felt like air, and the Heart Demon's arm passed through without any obstruction.
Seeing that he had easily passed through the barrier, the Heart Demon turned back and said with a smile to Ye Ling and Xuan Yu, "It seems it's not that... Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Before the Heart Demon could finish speaking, the Book of Origin emitted a powerful suction force, directly pulling the Heart Demon in!
"Heart Demon!"
Seeing the Heart Demon enter the Book of Origin, Ye Ling was about to follow when Xuan Yu suddenly grabbed him, "Ye Ling!"
"Xuan Yu?" Ye Ling turned to look at Xuan Yu. "Is there something else?"
Xuan Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Although it might be inappropriate for me to say this given my status, but... no matter what happens, please promise me you'll come back, okay?"
"No matter what's over there, there are many people waiting for you here."
Looking at Xuan Yu's sincere eyes, Ye Ling smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back. I promise!"
"Yes, I believe you," Xuan Yu nodded and released Ye Ling's hand. "Safe journey."
"Kid, wait!"
Just as Xuan Yu released Ye Ling and Ye Ling was about to pass through the barrier into the Book of Origin, a voice as clear as a silver bell called out.
"Master Ziyou (Aunt)?"
Ye Ling and Xuan Yu looked in the direction of the voice simultaneously. They saw Ziyou, with her hair tied up, wearing a black martial uniform and carrying the Soul Suppressing Sword, emerging from a spatial rift.
Ziyou threw a dark key to Ye Ling, "Take this!"
"What is this?" Ye Ling took the key and looked at Ziyou with confusion. Da Feng Novel Network
"No matter what you encounter in the Realm of Truth, as long as you crush this Void Key, it will directly send you back to the Void. However... once you use the Void Key, the Void will be forever bound to you, and you will never be able to enter the Realm of Truth again."
Ye Ling held the Void Key and looked at Ziyou, "Master Ziyou, do you know something?"
Ziyou replied, "Once you enter the Book of Origin, you will naturally know everything. How you choose then will be entirely up to you."
