Li Yun was stunned.
In that instant, he understood what undying truly meant.
Both bore the word "undying." Back when he was still in that first Chaos Great Void, there had been Immortal Beings in the immortal realm. But compared with the undying nature of an Undying Ancient God, theirs was practically a joke.
The undying nature of Immortal Beings was simply too low-level.
Never mind any higher form of harm. Even the tiniest trace of Ominous Miasma would probably turn an Immortal Being into a puddle of rot on the spot.
The two were in entirely different leagues.
But Li Yun still did not quite understand what Leng Yue meant by "The Undying Heavenly Wheel keeps misfortune at bay; unbroken before Calamity, one endures as long as the world."
So he seized the chance to ask her more about it.
Leng Yue seemed rather fond of Li Yun. Seeing that he was still confused about things every Undying Ancient God ought to know, she patiently explained further.
Li Yun listened closely.
At last, everything became clear.
In truth, he had already guessed some of it.
Misfortune really was a kind of sickness that afflicted planes. Just as a person grew old, lost resistance, and became vulnerable to illness after illness until death came faster, Ominous Miasma would begin to seep into a plane when its cycle of Life and Death neared its end.
And that Ominous Miasma came from Calamity!
Compared with Ominous Miasma, the legendary Calamity was what truly made every Undying Ancient God in the world turn pale at its mention. Or perhaps Calamity was a sickness of a higher order, one that could directly affect the entire Boundary Sea itself.
As for where Calamity came from or how it began, even Leng Yue could not say.
