Chapter 831 The Word that Traversed Through the Ages
“No, why has the seal come back to life?!” The Evil Thought’s eyes widened in disbelief, and even the overflowing gray mist was trembling. The real root of the ancestral land was this paper seal. Even the Gravekeeper was only a backhand used to fight against the Evil Thought.
Over the countless years, the paper seal was gradually worn away, allowing the Yun Clan to tear it off from the outside. However, at that moment, the paper once again glowed with brilliance, and a trace of aura circulated them, causing the Evil Thought’s scalp to crawl.
“This is the aura of the Overlord! I finally lived to see this day!” The Gravekeeper stared at the paper in awe. Although only a phantom, he still was crying and trembling with excitement. “Hahaha, everything is finally coming back. The Unknown will definitely be suppressed!”
He was crying and laughing at the same time. Then, he bowed deeply to the word ‘Fan’.
Dragin looked at the word ‘Fan’, and said in surprise, “Fan? Isn’t this Brother Li’s…”
It was not just her. Everyone from the Heavenly Palace also immediately thought of the expert when they saw this word because from the time they knew the expert, the word ‘Fan’ had permeated through everything in their world. More importantly, the expert’s name had the world ‘Fan’ in it.
Nanan took a closer look at the word, and suddenly, she said, “The handwriting… It looks like Brother Li’s handwriting. Could it really be his?”
“The expert must have something to do with the seal! Hahaha, we’re saved!”
“Only the expert possesses the power to seal up The Unknown with one word! The expert has saved the day again!”
“The reason the seal came back to life is that it sensed the expert’s aura on us!”
“That’s right! The Unknown will never be able to contaminate us as long as we have the expert’s aura on us.”
The Heavenly Palace people were very excited and they were no longer afraid of the unknown gray mist swirling around them.
“Brother Li’s so amazing! The Unknown must’ve been suppressed by him!” Dragin’s eyes were sparkling and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips when she recalled Li Nianfan telling her that he and the people in the four-part architecture would always be there for them. He must have predicted that this would happen and had already placed some countermeasures.
The seal paper was quietly floating in the air, and the word ‘Fan’ was radiating light. Although it was not bright, they felt as if it was illuminating everything in the world. It was gentle and calm, as opposed to the strangeness and unease of the unknown gray mist. Clear rays of light shot out of the paper and those that landed on the unknown gray mist made it dissipate, little by little, like the spring sun melting away the last of the snow.
“No! This is impossible! There’s no way you can come back!” The Evil Thought stared at the seal paper with extreme madness in his eyes. At that moment, every inch of his body was cracked open and his skin began to fall off. There was a thick unknown gray mist circulating the hideous wound and he looked extremely savage like a wild beast.
Suddenly, he laughed and said hysterically, “So what if you’ve returned? What can you do to me?! The ending will be the same as before!”
With a roar, the Evil Thought exploded. The endless unknown gray mist burst forth like a tide, rose into the sky, and converged into a giant beast in the void. He had already escaped the seal and assumed his strongest form which was several times more terrifying than what the Gravekeeper fought.
In comparison, the paper was still calm and gentle. Even its brilliance had not changed, as if the unknown gray mist was just a clown putting on a show.
“I’ll rip you apart, you lousy piece of paper!” thundered the unknown gray mist, and it rushed to envelop the seal paper from all directions.
“Brother Li…” The hearts of Dragin and the others instantly clenched. Although they had confidence in the Li Nianfan, the unknown gray mist was too terrifying. This was not just the power of the unknown gray mist, but also part of the power of the supreme power.
The seal paper, however, had been worn down through countless years, and it was only able to recover by relying on Li Nianfan’s aura. Hence, they could not help but wonder if it was really powerful enough to fight against the unknown gray mist,
Under the nervous gazes of everyone, the unknown gray mist lunged towards the seal paper, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the word ‘Fan’ glowed with endless rays of light, like the sun illuminating the entire ancestral land!
“Ahh !” Miserable screams came from the unknown gray mist and it began to tremble nonstop. Accompanied by a harsh sound, the unknown gray mist was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The word ‘Fan’, traversing the ages, once recovered, illuminated the endless Unknown!
“Noooo—!” The unknown gray mist let out a final unwilling roar before it was then purified.
The entire ancestral land returned to its calm state in an instant and the unknown gray mist was nowhere to be seen. The seal paper seemed to have exhausted the last trace of its power. It floated in the air before bursting into flames. Then, it dissipated with the wind.
“The…the place has been purified!”
“Take that, you Unknown! This will teach you to never mess with the expert!” “The expert’s indeed invincible!”

Nanan and others broke out in relieved smiles while Yun Kong and the others were dumbfounded. Their eyes were glazed and their emotions were like a roller coaster going up and down. First, everything was abolished by the Gravekeeper, and at the moment of despair, their powers were returned to them by the new Overlord. Just when they thought they were able to welcome a bright future, the paper seal came along and dashed all that hope. They felt like they were being played.
As the unknown gray mist dissipated, so did the power in their bodies. They became crippled and paralyzed on the ground again.
“Spare me, Overlord! I was bewitched by The Unknown. I didn’t know what I was doing!”
“Overlord, we were wrong! Please, forgive us!”
Yun Kong and the others knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
The Gravekeeper looked at them calmly and said lightly, “I was planning on sparing your lives, but you keep making the same mistakes again and again, so I’m left with no choice but to execute you on behalf of the master.”
He gently raised his hand and launched a palm strike, immediately wiping out Yun Kong and the others on the spot. Yun Kong and the others had turned their backs on the Yun Clan and opened the ancestral land. Not to mention, they pledged their allegiance to the unknown gray mist and tore off the seal. A quick death was the greatest mercy granted to them for all the sins they had committed.
Having dealt with Yun Kong and the others, the Gravekeeper turned to look at Nanan and the others, eyes filled with complexity. “Where…are you from?”
“We’re from the Ancient Forbidden Area,” answered Nanan.
“The Ancient Forbidden Area?” The Gravekeeper was slightly taken aback. The supreme power’s memories were not shared with him, so he had no idea what was going on in the outside world.
“The Ancient Forbidden Area’s also the place where the supreme power sealed away the unknown gray mist…” explained Yang Jing quickly.
The Gravekeeper nodded dazedly. He looked at the willow branches and the stone and said, “I see, it’s no wonder I feel the aura of an old friend from you.”
“Senior, what happened back then?” asked Dragin curiously.
The Gravekeeper pondered for a moment. Then, he said, “I was tasked by the master to keep guard, so he didn’t leave me with too many memories. I only know that at that time, it was rumored that… Heaven was sick!”
