Inside the courtyard, Yun Lintian sat calmly beside the pond, sipping tea and watching Gui Xuan and the others play around.
"I don't quite understand it," Zhang Yu remarked after sipping tea. "The environment here is much better than the Divine Realm. Why wouldn't everyone choose to come here?"
Yun Lintian turned to her and asked, "You've been with Senior Gui for a long time. Do you have any clue why this is the case?"
Zhang Yu shook her head. "Master often spoke of us being bound by fate, but the meaning of it always eluded me."
"Bound by fate?" Yun Lintian nodded slowly. "Indeed. You could say that. Originally, knowledge of worlds beyond the Divine Realm was scarce. Even your master was unaware of them until the Primordial God Tribe appeared."
"To prevent the enemy from using us, the natives, to forcefully open the boundaries, the Beyond Heaven King deliberately confined everyone within the Divine Realm."
