Chapter 766: Succubus Queen, Seven Emotions and Six Desires
The guards immediately arranged for her to enter the Lun Hui Hall and reported it to Sima Xue.
The moment Sima Xue saw Athena, she felt a sense of threat.
This woman's beauty was not in the slightest inferior to any of them.
Moreover, there was a mysterious aura about her that made one unable to resist wanting to understand her.
"Hall Master, a mysterious woman has come to visit," Sima Xue reported to Lin Xuan.
"She says she came by reputation and wishes to join the Lun Hui Hall."
Upon hearing the report, a hint of amusement flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
His divine sense had long since perceived Athena's presence.
Although this Goddess of Wisdom had restrained her aura, it still could not escape his perception.
"Interesting, the God Realm finally cannot sit still," Lin Xuan chuckled inwardly.
"Let her in; I would like to see what capabilities the Goddess of Wisdom has."
Soon, Athena was brought to the main hall of the Lun Hui Hall.
When she saw Lin Xuan sitting on the throne, her heart could not help but tremble.
This man was even more handsome and imposing than the legends described, and the pressure radiating from him made even her feel awe.
"Su Ya, greetings to the Lun Hui Great Emperor," she bowed respectfully.
She deliberately concealed her real name and identity.
Lin Xuan looked at her with great interest: "Su Ya? An interesting name."
"Why do you wish to join the Lun Hui Hall?"
Athena had long since prepared her excuse: "Reporting to the Great Emperor, I have been interested in the Laws of Reincarnation since I was young."
"Hearing that the Great Emperor has rebuilt the Lun Hui Hall and shaken the heavens, I admire you greatly."
"I hope to follow the Great Emperor and learn the profound mysteries of reincarnation."
Her answer was watertight, and she truly looked like an admirer.
But Lin Xuan, of course, saw through her true identity.
However, he did not expose her, choosing instead to play along with her scheme.
This Goddess of Wisdom's beauty was indeed heart-stirring.
Furthermore, the divine power of wisdom contained within her was also very useful to the Lun Hui Hall.
Since the God Realm had sent such a great gift, he would naturally accept it with a smile.
"What is your understanding of the Laws of Reincarnation?" Lin Xuan continued to probe.
After thinking for a moment, Athena replied: "I believe that reincarnation is the most fundamental law between heaven and earth."
"Life and death cycle, cause and effect circulate; all things operate within reincarnation."
"To master the Laws of Reincarnation is to master the foundation of how heaven and earth operate."
This answer surprised Lin Xuan somewhat.
He had not expected the Goddess of Wisdom to have such a profound understanding of the Laws of Reincarnation.
"A good insight," he nodded in approval.
"Since you have such an understanding, then stay in the Lun Hui Hall for the time being."
"Sima Xue, arrange for Su Ya to stay in the West Side Hall."
Athena felt a surge of joy; she had not expected it to be so easy to infiltrate the Lun Hui Hall.
In the days that followed, she began to secretly observe the situation in the Lun Hui Hall.
But as her contact deepened, she discovered that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Lin Xuan often took the initiative to talk to her, discussing various profound issues.
Cultivation insights, life philosophy, governance concepts—everything was covered.
Through these exchanges, Athena discovered that this man's wisdom was unfathomable.
In some aspects, it even surpassed her own, the Goddess of Wisdom.
This cognitive shock made her begin to re-examine her mission.
"Su Ya, what do you think is true wisdom?"
One day, Lin Xuan posed another profound question to her.
After pondering for a long time, Athena replied: "True wisdom should be the ability to discern the essence."
"Not to be deceived by appearances, but to be able to see the fundamental laws of things."
Lin Xuan nodded: "Well said, but it is not yet complete."
"True wisdom is not only about discerning the essence, but also knowing how to apply it."
"The highest realm of wisdom is the ability to change fate and create the future."
These words caused Athena's heart to shake.
She suddenly realized that her own understanding of wisdom might still be very shallow.
As their contact deepened, Athena found that her feelings for Lin Xuan were becoming increasingly complex.
She had originally intended to find Lin Xuan's weakness, but she discovered that this man was almost perfect.
He possessed both the dominance to rule the world and a meticulous tenderness.
He had both unfathomable wisdom and a heart as broad as the sea.
Most crucially, when Athena secretly used divination to observe Lin Xuan's future.
She saw a shocking scene.
A great empire that unified all the heavens and worlds and established an eternal order.
And in that empire, she herself actually occupied an important position.
This prophecy left Athena completely shaken.
She began to contemplate: rather than making an enemy of Lin Xuan for the selfish interests of the God Realm.
It would be better to proactively defect to this man destined to unify the heavens.
After an intense internal struggle, Athena finally made her decision.
To betray the God Realm and sincerely defect to the Lun Hui Palace.
One night, she took the initiative to come to Lin Xuan's room.
"Great Emperor, Athena has something to say."
She used her real name again, making her stance clear.
Lin Xuan looked at her and smiled indifferently: "Finally figured it out?"
Athena knelt on the ground: "Athena is willing to confess everything and offer up the secret intelligence of the God Realm."
"I only ask that the Great Emperor accept me and let me truly become a member of the Lun Hui Palace."
Athena's betrayal left the God Realm greatly enraged.
Upon learning this news, the Great God Emperor Taiqing angrily smashed the treasures within the temple to pieces.
"Damned Athena! To actually betray the God Realm!"
But what terrified them even more was that Athena possessed a vast amount of the God Realm's secrets.
Her status as the Goddess of Wisdom allowed her access to the Core secrets of the God Realm.
Now, all this intelligence could potentially be in the hands of the Great Emperor of Lun Hui.
This disadvantage in information left the God Realm in an extremely passive situation.
"Father God, what should we do now?" Ares the God of War asked, filled with worry.
"Athena knows all of our defensive layouts and battle plans."
The Great God Emperor Taiqing's face was as gloomy as water: "Redesign all plans."
"At the same time, send people to monitor the movements of the Lun Hui Palace."
"We must absolutely not let them strike first."
At the same time, problems also appeared on the side of the Mo Jie.
After his last crushing defeat, the prestige of the Eternal Demon Emperor was greatly damaged, and voices of division began to emerge within the Mo Jie.
The Demon Kings who were originally obedient to his every command now began to doubt his ability to rule.
Some ambitious Demon Kings began to contact each other in secret, wanting to overthrow the rule of the Eternal Demon Emperor.
The most representative among them was the Succubus Queen Lilith.
She was not only powerful, but more importantly, she possessed a special ability to bewitch all living beings.
Lilith ruled over the Blissful Demon Domain of the Mo Jie and had an army of millions of succubi under her command.
Her appearance was as gorgeous as a blood-red rose, and her figure was as alluring as a water snake.
Any male who saw her would be instantly bewitched and become her slave.
But her ambition was even more dangerous than her beauty; she had always wanted to become the true ruler of the Mo Jie.
The retreat of the Eternal Demon Emperor gave her an excellent opportunity.
"Fellow Demon Kings, the Eternal Demon Emperor is no longer fit to rule the Mo Jie."
In the palace of the Blissful Demon Domain, Lilith summoned her trusted Demon Kings.
"He was beaten by the Great Emperor of Lun Hui until he fled in a sorry state, and the face of the Mo Jie has been completely lost."
"Now is the time for us to change the fate of the Mo Jie."
