Chapter 1475: The Mastermind Revealed

One month later, Lin Yan returned to that region and performed time reversal again.

This time, Lin Yan noticed that, in the distant past, she still made that slight tilt of her head.

It seemed that after she made that motion the last time, no matter how many times time was reversed, she had become the version of herself who made that tilt of her head.

Before this, Lin Yan clearly remembered that she had never made that motion.

Lin Yan continued watching.

After she made that tilt of her head, a hint of confusion appeared on her face.

But soon, that hint of confusion faded.

She did not seem to dwell on it.

Then she turned into a streak of light and left the region.

"She must have sensed something, but dared not confirm it."

Lin Yan muttered to himself.

This was the most likely explanation.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why she suddenly made that motion.

At her level, she was equivalent to an extremely powerful main deity; if Lin Yan had observed her only once, she should not have sensed any anomaly.

But over the course of her million-year absorption of starlight, Lin Yan had been observing the entire process.

Of course, for Lin Yan, only a few thousand years had passed, and he could observe her only once per month.

Yet Lin Yan had intermittently spied on her entire million-year journey.

It was only natural that she had sensed something.

In a sense, this was already a kind of alteration to the past.

But this was not an alteration Lin Yan had deliberately made, and beyond that tilt of her head and that flicker of confusion, she made no further movements.

Therefore, Lin Yan would not face temporal backlash.

Lin Yan was not significantly affected and continued searching for her next trail, wanting to know how she had ultimately failed.

After leaving that starry region, she headed in one direction.

Lin Yan continued following her trail.

After several more thousand years, Lin Yan finally found her destination.

In fact, in the distant past, only a few days had passed since she left that starry region.

But her path had become curved due to changes in the starry expanse, which is why Lin Yan had spent so long searching for her.

After leaving that starry region, she arrived at the center of a vast, immense galaxy.

In Lin Yan's observation, the energy concentration in this galaxy was clearly higher than its surroundings; starships filled the entire starry expanse, and powerful cultivators crossed the void with their bare bodies.

At the galaxy's center stood a colossal white star.

This star was not the Holy Flame Star, but its light was white, and its size rivaled that of the Heavenly Realm's sun.

The woman's palace was located around this immense star.

It was an endless chain of palaces.

The woman flew straight to the edge of the star.

Her appearance startled many; a dense swarm of powerful cultivators emerged.

"Issue orders: impose total lockdown across the entire system."

The woman finally spoke, her voice crisp and clear.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Countless cultivators in the starry expanse replied.

The woman flew straight into the immense star.

"The Sect Master is finally about to take that step."

"Yes, once the Sect Master takes that step, we shall become the Eternal Sacred Ground."

"…"

After the woman departed, the cultivators in the starry expanse began whispering among themselves.

Lin Yan walked through the scenes of the distant past, absorbing every word into his ears.
