Lin Yuan already had an idea who could inspire such reverence in the Second Lord.
Still, he confirmed it first:
"Is the Heavenly Venerable you mentioned a being on the same level as the Great Being, but currently a Headless Corpse?"
"Yes! You know about that? Has the Heavenly Venerable really come back to life?"
The Second Lord's voice was already brimming with joy.
But Lin Yuan had no choice but to extinguish that hope:
"I'm very sorry. I learned about this through other channels. The Heavenly Venerable hasn't come back to life."
"Ah..." The Second Lord fell into a daze, then lowered his head and said nothing more.
Lin Yuan could understand his reaction.
From what he could tell, the being known as the "Heavenly Venerable" was a formidable figure who could go toe-to-toe with the Great Being.
If the Heavenly Venerable came back to life, many things would become much easier.
Unfortunately, nothing so fortunate had happened. The Heavenly Venerable was still a Headless Corpse, and they would have to rely on themselves to fight the Great Being.
Just then, the third of the strongest Sanctum members, who had remained silent until now, also took a step closer and asked calmly:
"May I ask how you learned of the Heavenly Venerable's condition?"
Lin Yuan had never heard this person's voice before, yet for some reason, it felt familiar.
But Lin Yuan did not dwell on it and immediately answered:
"I entered the core of the Game System. Right, you might not know about the Game System. It's..."
Lin Yuan briefly explained the situation.
After listening, the third of the strongest Sanctum members nodded and said:
"I see. I understand now. This is the information you wanted to convey to us."
"Clearly, our own plan is doomed to fail."
