Hei Xuan poured steaming tea into Yun Lintian's cup, the fragrant aroma carrying an inexplicable weight—like drinking liquid shadows.
"Were you surprised?" the God of Darkness asked casually. "By my avatar."
Yun Lintian picked up the cup, swirling the dark liquid slightly before nodding. "Slightly."
Hei Xuan chuckled. "In your timeline, the original Primordial Gods have already disappeared, haven't they?" His dark eyes gleamed with ancient wisdom. "You don't have much experience facing one directly."
Yun Lintian didn't deny it. "There was a war. Between all Primordial Gods on my side."
Hei Yue, who had been quietly sipping her tea, nearly choked. "What!?"
Hei Xuan's fingers stilled for a fraction of a second—the only sign of his surprise. "Go on."
