In any case, both sides had fallen into a disadvantage, and there was no good way out. It would be better to use this as a breakthrough point and make a simple move.
After all, if he couldn't persuade them, there was no loss, right?
The celestial god thought this way, and then his clone transformed into a wisp of blue smoke, silently drifting into the Layered Battlefield 1 area of Beijing. Soon, the celestial god found the entrance to Black Abyss Prison.
...
The prison was heavily guarded, but it depended on who they were guarding against. At least, as the former second guardian of Beijing, the celestial god was well aware of the various defenses in place here.
Originally, this clone was created specifically for secret infiltration. For that purpose, the celestial god even sacrificed part of the clone's combat ability, so the heavy defenses of Black Abyss Prison were essentially meaningless to him. Thus, the celestial god quietly infiltrated Black Abyss Prison.
The prison was divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower, all underground. Lin Tianxue was held in the very bottom layer—however, Lin Haifeng did not treat his daughter poorly.
When the celestial god met Lin Tianxue again, he saw her leisurely reading in a room of at least 100 square meters.
The room was clean and elegant, fully equipped with kitchenware, a bathroom, and other necessities of life. In addition, there was a television for entertainment—this treatment was more like Lin Haifeng providing a comfortable life for Lin Tianxue than punishing her.
Lin Tianxue's complexion was slightly pale, but that was merely a natural physiological response to not seeing sunlight for a long time. Besides that, the celestial god felt that his sister was living quite comfortably, and her complexion was not bad at all.
After entering the prison, the defenses here seemed much more relaxed—however, for the celestial god, these were trivial matters.
As the celestial god transformed into light, he instantly passed through the bars of the cell. When he reappeared, he was already standing next to Lin Tianxue.
"Sister."
The celestial god said, while Lin Tianxue looked up, her eyes showing little emotional expression.
"Brother, so it's you..."
After saying this, the two fell into silence.
...
The relationship between the siblings was quite complex; once, the celestial god had used Lin Tianxue to release Tang Haofei—this was the root cause of Lin Tianxue's imprisonment for more than a decade.
Although Lin Tianxue did not suffer too much hardship, to say that she bore no resentment after not seeing the light of day for over ten years would be a lie.
But how should one put it?
Silence is the best time for reflecting on life.
Over a decade of quiet time had allowed Lin Tianxue to thoroughly reflect on her life—past grievances and grudges had gradually been released.
So, the two sat across from each other as they once did, leisurely sipping tea and enjoying the peaceful moment.
Until the celestial god could no longer endure the atmosphere.
"Don't you want to go out?"
He said, but Lin Tianxue merely turned a page of her book and gently shook her head.
"What to go out for? To scheme against each other? To fight for power and profit? I can't win or compete, so why go out to suffer more?"
This over ten years of reflection had made Lin Tianxue much more mature—at the very least, she could recognize the power dynamics between herself and Lin Haifeng.
The celestial god was left speechless by Lin Tianxue's words—the hardest to deal with were those who had no desires or demands. A mindset content with the status quo ultimately formed an unbreakable psychological defense.
It was only when the celestial god mentioned the situation involving his nephew.
"Fang Yuqiong fled in the face of the eighth-level demonic disaster and has now been dismissed by the father..."
Before he could finish, Lin Tianxue waved her hand to interrupt the celestial god.
"I already know all of this. The current Black Abyss Prison is managed by Yuqiong; he visits me often."
