Chapter 11: The Three Ascended Divine Kingdoms Lost in History

"Brother Tianming, shall we leave this secret realm now?"

[Brother Tianming has already obtained all the treasures in this secret realm that should have belonged to me, so there's no need to stay here any longer.]

Although Ye Qingxue felt there were no valuable treasures left here, Lin Tianming, who had not yet finished exploring, still wanted to look around some more.

"Qingxue, I haven't finished exploring this main hall yet. Let me see if there's anything good!"

[Brother Tianming, seriously? I'm a reborn person. If I've been here once, don't you think I know what's here? If I say let's leave, it means there's no treasure left!]

Grumbling inwardly, the still somewhat weak Ye Qingxue could only follow Lin Tianming with his support.

"What's the purpose of this pool with boiling black water?"

After wandering around the main hall, Lin Tianming arrived at the pool of boiling black water.

Noticing Lin Tianming's intention to investigate the pool, Ye Qingxue's expression changed: "Brother Tianming, don't touch that pool!"

"Why not?"

"I don't know... just have a bad feeling... don't touch it..."

[This pool is extremely strange. In my previous life, I touched it and my already damaged soul was nearly obliterated by the filthy water. If I hadn't taken the soul gene potion in time, I would have died!]

[I can't reveal the secret of my rebirth. I hope Brother Tianming believes me. Don't touch it! Without the soul gene potion, touching this pool means certain death!]

Hearing Ye Qingxue's thoughts, Lin Tianming decided not to rashly touch the pool that could obliterate souls.

He circled around the pool and soon noticed a stone tablet in the boiling black water.

It would be easy to miss this stone tablet, obscured as it was by the boiling water.

Curious about what was written on the tablet, Lin Tianming made sure Ye Qingxue was safely distant before using his Divine Hand to replicate Ye Qingxue's ice ability.

Ice Spikes!

As Lin Tianming cast the spell, ice spikes formed and smashed into the boiling black water.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxue was terrified: "Brother Tianming, are you crazy? If that black water splashes on us, we'll both die!"

Extreme Ice Shield!

Without responding, Lin Tianming used his Divine Hand to cast Ye Qingxue's uncast Extreme Ice Shield, protecting both of them.

[Brother Tianming's Divine Hand can already replicate two abilities at such a low level?]

Seeing Lin Tianming replicate her uncast Extreme Ice Shield, Ye Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

[Because we broke up early in my previous life, I know too little about Brother Tianming's Divine Hand capabilities...]

[Why is Brother Tianming suddenly attacking the soul-corroding black water pool with my replicated skill?]

Under Ye Qingxue's puzzled gaze, the stone tablet hidden in the pool was revealed by the ice spikes.

Once the stone tablet emerged, Lin Tianming stopped casting Ice Spikes but kept the Extreme Ice Shield up as he and Ye Qingxue cautiously approached the stone tablet.

The tablet emitted an ancient aura, full of cracks and inscribed with equally ancient characters.

Both Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue, having studied extensively, recognized these ancient characters.

However, due to the tablet's age, many parts were missing, making it hard to read coherently.

Ye Qingxue began to read aloud: "Today, with the star key angel of the Gene Kingdom and the... part missing here, Brother Tianming..."

"Ignore the missing parts and keep reading. Let's get the general idea."

Following Lin Tianming's suggestion, Ye Qingxue skipped the missing parts and continued reading.

"It was too powerful. Even with our combined strength, we were defeated, sustaining irreparable injuries... another break..."

Despite her frustration with the missing parts, Ye Qingxue continued.

"I also severely injured it, forcing it to leave its divine weapon, the star key... time is running out... no going back... the psionic ascension pool of the Psionic Kingdom... destined person..."

After finishing the fragmented inscription, Ye Qingxue frowned: "Brother Tianming, the inscription becomes more fragmented toward the end, making it impossible to piece together a complete story."

Lin Tianming pondered: "Even so, we learned that our star key likely belonged to the star key angel mentioned in the inscription. And we learned of the Gene Kingdom, Mechanical Kingdom, and Psionic Kingdom, which were previously unknown."

[Where are the Gene Kingdom, Mechanical Kingdom, and Psionic Kingdom? Even in my previous life as a god, I never heard of these places...]

[If not for Brother Tianming's accidental discovery of the tablet hidden in the pool, I wouldn't have learned these secrets...]

[Although the inscription is incomplete, it proves that this secret realm was likely formed by the battle of these three kingdoms' individuals.]

[From the inscription, it seems the star key angel of the Gene Kingdom was the strongest, fighting two opponents at once. No wonder the star key is the most powerful treasure here...]

After pondering for a while, Ye Qingxue said: "Brother Tianming, this secret realm was likely formed by the battle of these divine beings. We've obtained all the treasures, so let's leave now!"

Recalling the inscription's mention of a destined person, Lin Tianming focused on the black water pool.

"The inscription mentioned this pool is the Psionic Ascension Pool of the Psionic Kingdom. It might not be as dangerous as you think. Maybe it's an opportunity..."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxue became anxious.

"An opportunity? Are you saying you want to soak in this black water pool? Brother Tianming, don't be reckless. I have a bad feeling about this!"

[Why won't he believe me? I tried it in my previous life without the soul gene potion and almost had my soul obliterated! Ascend? More like ascend to the afterlife!]

Having finally met a dependable Lin Tianming due to the butterfly effect, Ye Qingxue naturally didn't want him to die here.

Despite Ye Qingxue's earnest advice, Lin Tianming decided to take a gamble.

"Qingxue, stay here. I'm going to take a look!"

Without waiting for Ye Qingxue to stop him, Lin Tianming leaped into the boiling black water pool.

Splash!

As Lin Tianming entered the water, his body showed no signs of being burned by the boiling black water.

It seemed harmless...

But just as he relaxed, his soul felt as if it were being eroded and burned by some strange power, making him feel like he might disintegrate at any moment.

At that moment, he understood why Ye Qingxue warned him that the boiling black water could obliterate souls.
