Yue Lan's chuckle carried a tinge of sorrow and pride, her voice soft but resolute as she answered Shen Yuan's question.
[Yes, I was there,]
She admitted, her words carrying the weight of countless eons.
[I am one of the few Pre-Natal Chaotic Lifeforms who survived the upheaval. My essence was strong enough, my Dao Heart strong enough, to adapt to the laws imposed by Pangu's actions. While others faded, were sealed, or chose to rest eternally, I chose to endure. That is why I am here, able to roam the worlds freely.]
Shen Yuan's eyes widened slightly, his composure momentarily shaken. "You... You're one of them? A true Pre-Natal Chaotic Lifeform? Then the knowledge you've shared—it's not just history. It's your lived experience."
Yue Lan's tone became solemn, the hint of bitterness giving way to something deeper.
