Chapter 490: 490 The Truth of the Great Battle, See You in the Next 2 Updates
Seeing Hua Yingyue’s serious expression, Ye Wanlan’s gaze also grew solemn.
The historical flashback she witnessed always followed the perspective of the protagonist in the flashback.
But even so, there were inevitably some scenes that were left behind.
Although she had watched the historical flashback several times, Ye Wanlan still didn’t understand why these antiques could preserve the events of the past verbatim, much like the video recording technology of modern times.
Initially, she also worried about whether someone with ulterior motives had tampered with it, creating fake flashback scenes.
This concern disappeared after her reunion with Xie Linyuan.
She shared the flashback scenes she had seen with Xie Linyuan, and he confirmed that they were truly events that had happened.
"When they asked me back then, there was a way to resurrect my parents and brothers," Hua Yingyue said coldly, "Later, during the conflict, when they wanted me to surrender to them for the last time, they also said that even if our nation’s power was the finest in the world, we still couldn’t shake them in the slightest because—"
She paused, then said emphatically, "Their civilization has always far surpassed ours, much like we look down upon the ants on the ground."
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, the facts proved that these invaders indeed possessed such incredible abilities.
"Indeed..." Ye Wanlan’s expression turned icy, "Just like Atlantis, some higher civilization."
But whether it was hidden in some corner of this world like Atlantis was still uncertain.
"Atlantis?" Hua Yingyue frowned, "What place is that?"
Ye Wanlan briefly explained, "The unsolved mystery of the Nanling Sea; this term was coined by the Global Center. We once went to places called ’Peach Blossom Spring,’ ’Unreached Land,’ and other such names."
"Now that you mention it, I understand," Hua Yingyue nodded slightly, "The Nanling Sea is indeed treacherous. My brother has never ventured there, nor has the Master of Highest Heaven Tower that I’ve heard of in Jianghu."
During the Ning Dynasty, the Nanling Sea was a Forbidden Land, and ships would also bypass this region.
"But after the Battle of Armies, a new continent was discovered on the other side of the Nanling Sea," Ye Wanlan’s voice suddenly deepened, "I believe that the establishment of the Global Center also had a hand from the beings living in the Nanling Sea."
In this way, the turbulence that happened in the palace initially could also be explained.
There must have been those beings involved, causing both internal and external strife.
Hua Yingyue slowly clenched her fist, "No matter who the opponent is or where they come from, as long as they dare to set foot in Shenzhou, I will fight them to the death!"
Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "Three hundred years later, King Qin still maintains the same momentum."
"Likewise," Hua Yingyue’s brows also lifted, "Three hundred years later, Princess Yongning still strategizes behind the scenes."
"Right, Yingyue." Ye Wanlan thought for a moment, then asked, "During the war, did you see the Tower Master of Highest Heaven?"
"I did not," Hua Yingyue shook her head, "The Highest Heaven Tower is in the southwest, quite a distance from my Eastern Wilderness. How could we have met?"
Ye Wanlan murmured, "Then, what exactly did he do..."
When would she be able to find the artifact related to the Tower Master of Highest Heaven?

Elsewhere, at the Yunjing Lin Family.
"The city of East Desolate was hit by a sudden downpour, and your cousin just happened to be there filming," Lin Shiyuan calmly plucked the zither strings, "Aren’t you going to call and ask about the situation?"
"No," Lin Qin declined expressionlessly, "I still have to cultivate."
Hearing her say this, Lin Shiyuan revealed a faint smile, "Good, that’s ambitious. Go back then, I won’t bother you anymore."
Lin Qin remained expressionless, turning around and walking away.
Lin Shiyuan wasn’t angry, instead, she appreciated it very much.
"Miss Shiyuan, it seems your strategy works quite well," Steward Lin chuckled, "Preventing Miss Lin Qin from contacting those useless distant family members and providing her with more resources, any clever person would know what to choose."
"Mm," Lin Shiyuan reined in her smile, "Not a single casualty in the ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ crew, this Ye Wanlan, is indeed very lucky."
"Being fortunate isn’t enough without real strength," Steward Lin complimented, "No matter how formidable she is, that’s only in comparison to the ordinary individuals in the secular world. In the top echelons where Miss Shiyuan resides, she wouldn’t even be able to touch them on her tiptoes."
"We must still keep a watchful eye on her," Lin Shiyuan responded noncommittally, "Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its might."
Steward Lin was somewhat dismissive but replied, "Yes, Miss Shiyuan."
At this time, Lin Qin returned to her room and, after ensuring the walls had no ears, made a call to Ye Wanlan.
"Cousin, how are you?" she asked with concern, "My mom and my aunt and uncle kept asking about you, and I told them you went to the Northern Lands again."
"Thank you," Ye Wanlan said, "I’m fine, sorry for worrying you all."
"Cousin, it’s good you’re alright," Lin Qin’s voice trailed off sadly, "I have been in the Lin Family for quite some time now, but still don’t know the location of the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither and many other secrets remain beyond my grasp."
"Mm, I know," Ye Wanlan replied with a faint smile, "They are quite wary of you, but in time, their guard will drop. You shouldn’t blame yourself."
She had a premonition that to bring Lin Fanyin back to Shenzhou like Xie Linyuan and Hua Yingyue, the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither was indispensable.

The very next morning, Xie Linyuan hurried to Ye Wanlan’s side.
"Little Junior Sister, this time, no matter what, I won’t leave. Big Senior Brother’s heart really can’t take the shocks you give!" he exclaimed.
"Big Senior Brother, don’t be nervous," Ye Wanlan said calmly, "Look, who is this?"
Xie Linyuan turned his head and saw Hua Yingyue sitting cross-legged, looking straight at him.
"King Qin?!" Xie Linyuan gasped in shock and quickly approached, "It’s really you!"
"You’re this excited to see me?" Hua Yingyue gave him a once-over curiously, "We’ve met a few times before, but when have you ever shown me such a favorable expression?"
Xie Linyuan coughed twice and replied unfazed, "Well, it’s because I am in a special state right now, only visible to Little Junior Sister. It’s natural to be happy when encountering a fellow kind."
Happy? He was much more than that.
Hua Yingyue’s presence meant that his and Ye Wanlan’s speculation was correct; the others could return through different means too.
Ah Yin...
Xie Linyuan clenched his fingers, looking despondent.
Although he was no longer among the living and didn’t have a heart, his heart still hurt uncontrollably.
"I’m not familiar with you," said Hua Yingyue with a glance, speaking nonchalantly, "You and Yan Shunhua are no good, only indulging in pleasures and deceiving all sorts of young women. Such tricks won’t work on me."
Xie Linyuan: "..."
He was wronged!
He belonged to Lin Fanyin, body and soul.
"I had nothing more than a passing acquaintance with the Carefree King. We’d just drink a few jars of wine when we met," Xie Linyuan immediately protested, "He is him, and I am me. King Qin, please don’t lump us together."
Besides, he would never do something like changing into a costume to perform in a play like Yan Shunhua did.
"Just joking, the Sword Saint is indeed too tense," Hua Yingyue chuckled, propping up her chin and squinting her eyes, "I’ve heard from Ah Lan about your situation with Sect Leader Lin. Don’t worry, I won’t badmouth you."
Xie Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yingyue, Shunhua left a letter for you," Ye Wanlan spoke up, taking out the Exquisite Eight Treasures Box, "I apologize, I’ve already read it. This letter was meant to be delivered to you after his death."
"It’s fine if you read it, you’re my sister, and what’s mine is yours," Hua Yingyue responded carelessly, "Since when did he start writing letters? Every time he wanted to talk, he would just come directly to my residence, and I had to serve him my best wines."
Ye Wanlan sighed softly, "You’ll understand once you’ve read it."
"Alright," Hua Yingyue accepted it.
She was curious to see what Yan Shunhua had written in the letter, whether he was laughing at her or scolding her again.
With a cold snort, Hua Yingyue opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.
