Almost caused a disaster again...

Could it be that my natural talent is best suited for causing trouble?

Even though he appeared indifferent, Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel a slight panic for a few seconds upon hearing he had almost made a grave mistake.

But that was all.

Throughout his time in the Hidden World and the Ancient Abyss Sect, who knows how many rules Yang Yan had broken.

Killing Godslayer Poseidon, dismantling the "Longevity Sect," and elsewhere in the Ancient Abyss Sect, violating sect rules to kill fellow disciples... all such misdeeds.

And yet, every single one was resolved without exception.

Most importantly, he never regretted any of his actions.

Otherwise, after breaking the heavens in the Hidden World, he wouldn’t have leisurely gone to Red Dust for vacation, claiming it was for Refining Heart.

However, this doesn’t mean he would actively seek death.

Thus, when Hu mentioned the potential consequences, he decisively abandoned the idea of breaking the Sacred Artifact.

But this didn’t mean he would tolerate the Sacred Artifact criticizing him through Hu.

"Interesting. How did you discover me?" Yang Yan’s words directly pierced through, and "Hu" confessed candidly without hiding.

This time, however, Hu did not speak aloud; the voice directly communicated with Yang Yan through Soul Communication.

Yang Yan found it a bit amusing upon hearing this.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Sacred Artifact hadn’t detected the Soul Contract they had established.

With this Soul Contract at hand, how could he not notice something amiss with Hu?

Moreover, Yang Yan had been paying special attention to Hu’s changes from the moment it began recalling events, so he knew inside out when the Nascent Void would use Hu as a Spirit Medium and speak through it.

But in order to extract information, Yang Yan never revealed this and continued listening to its narrative without letting on.

These Sacred Artifacts said so much, yet aside from providing a seemingly reasonable "truth" hinting at him to stop, they offered no useful advice for the current situation.

Since Hu called the Nascent Void a Sacred Artifact of the Void Devouring Race, to some extent, what it said could be trusted.

What frustrated Yang Yan was that if this Sacred Artifact’s words were true, then his original plan to directly destroy this item and free the Primordial Spirit it held was certainly unfeasible.

If not that, is he simply supposed to sit and wait for doom?!

He couldn’t believe these would be the only things the Sacred Artifact conveyed through Hu.

Moreover, hearing the Sacred Artifact inquire about his judgment in this crucial moment, Yang Yan became even more certain the Nascent Void had hidden plans, perhaps already devised.

At this moment, he could only attempt to continue communicating with the Sacred Artifact to extract more information.

Although the Sacred Artifact had sincerely asked the question, Yang Yan naturally couldn’t honestly reply that he was overseeing the whole process through the Soul Contract.

If this Sacred Artifact shared the old-fashioned disposition of all the elder races, that would definitely spoil things, making them impossible to discuss.

So, Yang Yan responded quite naturally:

"Could just a glance reveal all the plans of this Sacred Artifact?"

Upon hearing Yang Yan’s inference, "Hu" was taken aback and found no flaw in his words, forcing a sheepish smile and uttering awkwardly: "Seems my words were excessive..."

After hastily concocting an excuse to pacify the Sacred Artifact, Yang Yan seized the moment to press further: "Hey! Nascent Void, you still haven’t answered my question! You’ve said a lot; what exactly do you want me to do?"

Unexpectedly, Nascent Void countered with a question: "If I can’t suppress this evil force, what can you, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, do?"

These words left Yang Yan speechless.

Indeed, this Sacred Artifact recounted the origin story to him but never asked for his help.

It merely wished to acquaint him with the involved cause and effect, at most preventing him from recklessly acting.

The Nascent Void still found this curious!

It was a Sacred Artifact after all; despite severe erosion and greatly reduced power, it was more than capable of screening and intercepting a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

However, it hadn’t anticipated that this tiny Foundation Establishment cultivator could command a Void-Devouring Tiger’s Primordial Spirit to pave the way.

Being a Sacred Artifact of the Void Devouring Race, Nascent Void naturally couldn’t obstruct anymore.

If it hadn’t sensed this Primordial Spirit emerged internally and lost its memory, it almost suspected the Void Devouring Race had degenerated to the point of siding with humans.

If Yang Yan hadn’t "harbored ill intentions" almost causing trouble, it wouldn’t have emerged to explain this vast amount.

Though it witnessed Yang Yan cleansing Residual Souls and condensed Evil Qi, even miraculously breaking through its blockade, could it really rely on him to solve the urgent crisis with just that?

Not to mention Yang Yan, even if it were to fully regain its strength, it wouldn’t dare claim absolute certainty.

"Little fellow, just give up!"

Seeing Yang Yan stand there, Nascent Void intended to persuade him to retreat, notifying the Wandering Dragon Star’s cultivators to prepare for escape and call for help, when it sensed Hu, temporarily holding the Primordial Spirit, transmitting a message.

Whatever Hu said, Nascent Void suddenly had a change of heart, reviewing Yang Yan closely again, and unexpectedly asked:

"All three Dragon Children chose you?"

Not knowing Nascent Void’s implications, Yang Yan probed back: "Are you referring to the prophecy made jointly by those three seniors? Then I should be the one."

Seeing the peculiar expressions projected on "Hu" by the light, Yang Yan sensed a turning point.

It seemed there was more to discuss.

It suggested that the Sacred Artifact wasn’t entirely aware of the actions within its internal space!

"Three seniors? Tsk tsk, just those three little brats trying their hand at divination and these metaphysical things? What prophecies and such..."

Upon hearing Nascent Void’s disdainful attitude towards the three Nascent Soul great powers, Yang Yan felt both amazed and inexplicably worried.

An unparalleled sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

Was it the difference in realms affecting his mindset?

Yang Yan was startled and quickly steadied his mind.

Still not strong enough!

Could be so easily influenced by someone else’s mentality.

Luckily, there was no malicious intent, otherwise, just now, he might have been controlled and turned into a puppet.

Yet, as Yang Yan was overwhelmed with hindsight fear, he heard Nascent Void musing to himself like a soliloquy:

"However, they have a pretty accurate eye for people. If it’s their unanimous choice, then it’s almost certainly correct..."

At this moment, even knowing the Nascent Void couldn’t be moved, Yang Yan felt the urge to bring up Star Night and cut it down a few more times.

Are you messing with me?

At one moment, it said he could do nothing, and the next, he could give it a try...

The key was that he was indeed led astray.

Not only affecting mood but also being led by the nose.

Thinking of this, a nameless anger flared in Yang Yan’s heart.

Then, calling Hu, he headed outward without looking back, saying as he walked: "Let’s head back, Hu, don’t waste time with this broken junk. I have someone to find."

"After reuniting with them, sneak back here. Let everyone else stay if they want, dying here would conveniently rid some scourge!"
