Troubled

The Eternal Rule contain endless mysteries and immense energy. Even a trace of it is like the most turbulent wave in a surging ocean; once released, it is enough to instantly engulf any unprepared soul.

Yun Xi recalled her first encounter with the Eternal Rule. If it weren't for the Eternal Opportunity, she was quite certain that the Power of Rules would have been like an extremely sharp double-edged sword, giving her immense power while also tearing her soul to shreds.

Of course, she has system protection and doesn't need to worry about this possibility, but others don't have system protection.

Therefore, she speculated that even God King level being, without Eternal Opportunity, could not contain the Eternal Rule within their soul. These Eternal Rule were like heavenly laws specifically designed to test the existence of all things in the world; without that special Eternal Opportunity, no one could truly touch their core.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Yun Xi even suspected that the lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm might have suffered annihilation because of that sliver of Eternal Opportunity.

Was the Abnormal God launched the Realm War against the Purple Abyss Divine Realm precisely for this sliver of Eternal Opportunity?

Yun Xi secretly pondered in her heart that the Eternal Opportunity was so precious that if that Abnormal God knew that the domain lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm possessed it, he would surely covet it.

That is the key to the Eternal Realm, an irresistible temptation for any god.

It seems reasonable to launch a Realm War for this slight opportunity. However, all of this is just her speculation, without any solid evidence.

However, Yun Xi was certain that the domain lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm and the enemy of the Ancient Hongwen God Race were not the Divine God King Fiend she had killed today.

Even a single Purple Crystal Mountain in the Purple Abyss Divine Realm could repel it, so the domain lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm must be even more powerful. If the opponent were today's God King Fiend, it would be impossible for him to be defeated and fall.

Considering that even God King level have a lifespan of a million units, if the enemy of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm Ancient Hongwen God Race had not been destined for eternity, it might already be asleep, just like the three Light God King the past.

Those three Light God Kings were once dazzling figures in the Temple of Light. However, time is merciless, and millions of years have passed by like flowing water. They had no choice but to fall into slumber, waiting for the opportunity to become eternal in the future.

The Ancient Hongwen God Race's enemy, Bi Xin, was also an extremely powerful being. However, if he did not break through the limitations of lifespan and cross over to the realm of eternity, then a million years would be enough to exhaust his lifespan.

Upon learning from Yun Xi that Eternal Opportunity was necessary to accommodate the Eternal Rule, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes. It was as if a traveler who had been groping in the darkness for a long time had finally seen a distant lighthouse, and he began to have a direction for the future in his heart.

For him, this was like finding a crucial piece of the puzzle on his long journey to find the answer.

A hint of gratitude flickered in his eyes as he looked at Yun Xi.

In this competitive and cruel world, every secret about power enhancement is considered a treasure and is guarded closely.

The Yun Xi was so candid in telling him such crucial information was like finding a spring in a parched desert to Lin Yuan.

It can be said that Yun Xi had absolutely no obligation to tell him these things.

However, at the same time, a complex and indescribable emotion also arose in his heart. This emotion was like a tangled mess, twisting and turning in his mind.

After all, if he hadn't signed a guardian contract with Yun Xi, he would definitely have attacked Yun Xi one day to seize the eternal aura and Eternal Rule in order to obtain that eternal position.

Although Lin Yuan had just achieved the God King realm, his desire for power was deeply ingrained in his heart. He longed to break through and stand at the pinnacle of power.

Eternal Rule and eternal aura are like necessary conditions for reaching that peak. As long as one can obtain them, one may be able to break through existing constraints. Even if one cannot immediately become eternal, one will still make a great leap in strength.

However, the guardian contract was like an invisible rope, tightly binding his thoughts and actions. It was a contract bestowed by the system, powerful and inviolable.

He couldn't think about those things that violated the contract, much less act on them. Whenever an inappropriate thought flashed through his mind, it was as if a cold force surged from the depths of his soul, warning him not to cross the line.

However, he quickly began to calm himself down and felt relieved.

After all, if Xu Wei hadn't signed a guardian contract with Yun Xi, how would he have had the opportunity to get so close to this secret?

Yun Xi had revealed the precious information about the Eternal Rule to him without reservation. This was an immense opportunity, one that he could never have access to.

He should be content.

In this dog-eat-dog, highly competitive world, every god resorts to any means to increase their power. Yet, he inadvertently obtains a crucial piece of information that could potentially change his destiny.

It was as if fate had given him a special favor. Although this favor was accompanied by the constraints of the Guardian Contract, what did those constraints matter compared to what he had gained?

Of course, he also knew how hasty the guardian contract he had signed with Yun Xi was.

As he realized more and more clearly, Yun Xi no ordinary person.

She seemed to possess boundless potential, a power like a dormant volcano that, once unleashed, would surely shock the entire divine realm.

It seems likely that Yun Xi will not stop at the level of a main god. Since Yun Xi can obtain something like the Eternal Opportunity, it would not be unreasonable for her to obtain some Red Crystal from somewhere else to strengthen her soul foundation and break through to the God King level.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Does he really want to protect her for the rest of his life?"

Once this thought took hold in his mind, it grew and spread wildly like weeds. A lifetime—what a long time that is! In the realm of gods, even the life of a deity is filled with countless variables and uncertainties.

Is he, a god-king who was once used to being alone and freely pursuing power, really going to bind his soul tightly to Yun Xi?

Lin Yuan was both troubled and relieved.

What troubled him was that he seemed to already see himself transformed into, like a loyal follower, trailing behind Yun Xi. He had to be constantly vigilant about any potential dangers around him, protecting Yun Xi from the wind and rain.
