"Qi Yun," True Monarch Shen Yi spoke, his voice retaining that same peaceful and gentle tone, like an elder calling out to a junior. "Is that the Profound Yellow Origin in your hands?"
Qi Yun turned his head to look at him. As their eyes met, Qi Yun offered no response. He didn't need to. By the time True Monarch Shen Yi asked the question, the answer was already written in his eyes.
"Senior Shen Yi," Qi Yun said evenly. "If you have something to say, just say it."
True Monarch Shen Yi smiled faintly. It was an incredibly gentle smile, yet it sent a slight chill through the hearts of every True Monarch present.
"The Profound Yellow Origin does not belong to any single person." True Monarch Shen Yi's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears with absolute clarity. "It is the foundation of the Profound Yellow Origin Realm, the very root of this Heaven and Earth's existence.
"You cannot hold onto it alone."
Qi Yun remained silent as his gaze swept across the battlefield.
