What Exactly Is an Aeon? Raising the Banner by Borrowing a Tiger's Might!

Aeon?

What kind of god is this?

It is not the Sea God, not the Asura God, and not any Deity in the God Realm Committee.

She had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never heard of this name.

He was indeed connected to the Divine Realm, but not one of the gods she thought he was.

It is a higher level of existence.

Gu Yuena's pupils dilated slightly as she looked at Bai Yuan's still smiling face, her mind a complete mess.

Bai Yuan stared at her wide-open purple eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened.

My Brain is probably going to crash again!

The Aeon seems to have intimidated her.

Then we can use this as a pretext to discuss cooperation!

He turned back, put his hands back in his pockets, and walked towards the Training Ground.

"Let's go, training."

We're leaving the day after tomorrow. If we can't even beat me, how are we going to fight the Shrek Academy students?

Bai Yuan took two steps, but when he heard no footsteps behind him, he stopped and didn't turn around.

"Junior sister, what are you waiting for? Let's have another round. This time, I'll give you a handicap with one hand."

Gu Yuena came to her senses, flames flickering in her purple eyes.

"Who asked you to give way!"

Bai Yuan's smile deepened as he heard the footsteps approaching from behind.

Gu Yuena caught up with him, her silver ponytail bouncing behind her shoulder.

He walked in front, she walked behind, one in front of the other.

Gu Yuena followed behind him, clenching her fists.

Bai Yuan didn't even need to look to know that this girl was frantically searching for the words "Aeon" in her mind.

She is the Silver Dragon King, who has lived for tens of thousands of years and knows all the secrets of the Divine Realm.

But even if you searched through her Remembrance bank of tens of thousands of years, you probably wouldn't find a single trace of the word "Aeon".

She must have racked her brains trying to figure out what the Aeon really was and what its relationship was to the other Deity she knew.

They wanted to know even more whether he was sent by the Divine Realm.

Bai Yuan endured it very hard.

You can't laugh, or you'll give yourself away.

He glanced at Gu Yuena out of the corner of his eye, his purple eyes lowered, his lips tightly pressed together, and his fingers slightly twisting the hem of his clothes.

I'm incredibly curious, but I stubbornly refuse to ask.

Haha, that's funny, just teasing this silly guy.

He looked away, quickly suppressing the smile that had been playing on his lips.

Forget about Aeon, Xiao Bai is his greatest support.

Which of those truly high and mighty Aeon would care about the life or death of a lowly mortal?

Most of those "gods" are unreliable; they'll only use you, drain you dry, and then throw you away like trash.

Xiao Bai is still the best; I'm still willing to believe in him and pass on my power to him.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the surging thoughts in his mind.

I can't think about those things anymore; my primary task now is cultivation.

He needs to be in top form for the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition in the next few days, so as not to disappoint Leng Yaozhu.

As for Gu Yuena, let her guess.

I'll consider how to answer when she finally asks me out of frustration.

On the Training Ground, Bai Yuan drew his Dawnmaker, the pale golden patterns on the blade gleaming slightly in the sunlight.

Gu Yuena stood opposite him, six Elemental Light flowing from her fingertips.

Bai Yuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, moved his feet, and lunged forward.

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, and Elemental Light condensed into a barrier in front of her as she endured the pain.

Regardless of his background or who was behind him, she would find the answer in her own way.

Then I pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.

Aeon.

These two words were like a nail, firmly embedded in Gu Yuena's mind.

Ever since Bai Yuan whispered those two words in her ear outside the Training Ground that day, she has never truly been at peace.

Every day, every time they met, she tried to extract more information from him.

Use a gentle approach, feigning curiosity and a well-behaved demeanor to ask him.

"Senior Brother, what exactly is this Aeon you're talking about?"

Bai Yuan looked at her with a smile and said.

:"You guess."

Using a hard object, he condensed the elemental power into a ball in his palm and gestured towards him.

"If you don't tell me, I'll really hit you."

Bai Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids before speaking.

You can't beat me.

Use a roundabout approach: deliberately let him win during training, and then casually bring it up again when he's in a good mood.

"By the way, that Aeon you mentioned last time..."

Bai Yuan sheathed his sword and patted her head.

"Junior sister, why are you being so well-behaved today? Are you up to something again?"

Every single time, he effortlessly deflected it.

Either play dumb, tease them, or simply change the subject.

Gu Yuena felt like someone groping in the dark.

I can clearly feel something in front of me, but I just can't reach it.

At this moment, she sat on her bed in her room, her long silver hair cascading over her shoulders, her purple eyes staring blankly at the Soul Guidance Desk Lamp on the table.

The lampshade is light purple, and the base is yellow.

Bai Yuan said this is the best-looking color scheme.

She used to laugh at his unique taste, but now the more she looks at him, the more pleasing he seems.

"Aeon."

Gu Yuena uttered the two words softly, her fingers unconsciously tracing lines on the table.

Which faction are they from?

Was it something he made up to deceive her, or does such Deity truly exist?

If this is true, what is the relationship between this Aeon and the Divine Realm?

Are they hostile forces or allies?

Or perhaps it's an existence at a higher level than the Divine Realm?

Impossible!

This idea must be wrong!

How could there possibly be an existence at a higher level than the Divine Realm?

Gu Yuena's fingers paused.

She recalled Bai Yuan's expression when he said those two words.

It wasn't a frivolous joke, nor a solemn revelation of a secret; it was something more complex, something she couldn't quite grasp.

It was as if he was talking about something that actually happened, but he didn't want her to know too much;

It seemed like he was testing her, seeing how she would react;

It seems to be hinting at something, yet it also seems to be saying nothing at all.

Gu Yuena bit her lip, trying to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

She thought about it for a long time, considering countless possibilities, but in the end, only those two words lingered in her mind.

She took a deep breath, sat up straight, and lowered her eyes.

"Zi JI."

From the shadows of the room, a dark purple figure silently emerged.

He wore a purple robe and a hood, revealing a sharp, angular jawline.

She walked up to Gu Yuena, knelt on one knee, bowed her head, and spoke in a low and respectful voice.

"My lord."

Gu Yuena didn't look at her; her gaze remained fixed on the pale purple lamp on the table, and she remained silent for a moment.

"Go and investigate something for me."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

"My lord, please give your orders."

"Aeon."

When Gu Yuena uttered those two words, her tone was very soft, as if she were afraid of disturbing something.

"Go and find out exactly what the Aeon is."

Zi JI frowned slightly.

God?

Could it be that another god has appeared?

She had followed Gu Yuena for tens of thousands of years, and while she wouldn't say she knew all the gods in the Divine Realm by heart, she was at least very familiar with them.

She knew a little about the Sea God, the Asura God, the Angel God... even those ancient Deity who had long since fallen.

But she had never heard of the term "Aeon" before.

"My lord, Aeon... that's an unfamiliar name."

There was a hint of hesitation in Zi JI's voice.

Gu Yuena didn't answer, she just looked at her.

Those purple eyes were unusually calm.

He showed no emotion, no turmoil, only a certainty that made Zi JI dare not ask any more questions.

Zi JI lowered her head. "Your subordinate understands, I will go and investigate immediately." She paused, "Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"

Gu Yuena shook her head.

Zi JI's figure slowly disappeared into the shadows.

The room fell silent, save for the faint hum of the Soul Guidance Desk Lamp.

Gu Yuena leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling.

She desperately wanted to know the answer, but she also knew she couldn't find it.

If even Zi JI had never heard of the term "Aeon," then it was most likely something Bai Yuan made up on the spot.

But she was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to be played like this by him.

She was unwilling to accept that he knew everything while she knew nothing.

Gu Yuena stood up and walked to the window.

"Aeon."

"What is it??"
