Chapter 966: This Doesn't Seem Bad

Wails and curses continued without end.

This time, countless supremes and demon gods perished.

Lin Fan's heart ached terribly too—these were all experience points, yet they were wasted for nothing. How tragic, how damnable.

No one knew how long passed before everyone recovered from their injuries. Then, one by one, they looked up at the void, as if filled with despair for the future.

"Heh, haha..." An ancient ancestor laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

"Transcendence, so this is transcendence. After struggling for so many epochs, what have we gained in the end?"

All the supremes fell silent.

They had been contending from the very beginning, then fell into slumber, and now sought transcendence.

But what now?

Countless had died, countless supremes had perished within this secret realm.

"What are these things?" A helpless roar suddenly burst forth. "We only wanted to transcend, we only wanted to live, but there is no hope at all."

Hearing these voices, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly.

Pangu Demon God's dominance was gone; the Great Sage took off his battered armor and cast it aside.

"Actually, there's still a bit of hope," Lin Fan spoke up.

Swish!

Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Fan. They had resented the Human Emperor, but now they could no longer muster that resentment.

What use was possessing countless divine artifacts? They still couldn't transcend.

"Human Emperor, what hope could you have? If you had any, would you still be here?"

An ancient ancestor sneered, then stood up, ready to await the arrival of destruction.

Pangu Demon God and the others raised their heads, looking at Lin Fan, wondering what this hope could be.

Seeing the supremes in such a state, Lin Fan didn't keep them in suspense. "I've captured one of those mysterious beings. Perhaps we can learn from him what all this is about."

"What?"

The moment Lin Fan said this, everyone was stunned.

At first, they hadn't even thought of capturing these mysterious beings, but later, when they encountered even stronger ones, they wanted to capture them, but it was already too late.

"Watch closely. Perhaps everything we want to know, he can tell us."

Without further ado, Lin Fan released the Carefree Young Master from his cave heaven.

"Ah!"

As soon as he emerged, the Carefree Young Master was clutching his crotch and wailing incessantly. His eyes were filled with rage, but when he saw the dense crowd of beings surrounding him, terror flickered in his gaze.

Lin Fan took out a brick and knocked the Carefree Young Master unconscious.

"Art of Origin, River of Fate."

Lin Fan pointed a finger, and a mysterious aura suddenly emanated, enveloping the Carefree Young Master.

In an instant, scenes appeared before everyone's eyes.

A vast world, countless beings, countless sects. Through this fellow's experiences, Lin Fan also saw powerful beings he hadn't known about.

Some were even stronger than the last one they had encountered.

Then, a scene that drew everyone's attention occurred.

A place resembling a secret realm, where countless mysterious beings charged in, and then encountered Lin Fan and the others.

"It is said that the Heavenly Lord Xinfeng fell, his body transforming into a secret realm, and the凶物 within were all born from his origin..."

When Lin Fan saw these words, his expression shifted slightly.

The other supremes were also stunned, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Are we all just manifestations of a powerful being's origin?"

When an ancient ancestor uttered these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Fan was also dumbstruck.

After all this time, he only now learned that he had been living inside a dead person's body.

This... this...

The information was too overwhelming; Lin Fan felt he couldn't accept it all at once.

The myriad races, the myriad realms, countless worlds, Earth... all were manifestations of a powerful being's origin.

Who was this Heavenly Lord Xinfeng? How could he be so formidable?

Who the hell am I?

And what is this system?

At this moment, Lin Fan was a bit confused, but he could still handle it.

But having cultivated to such a level, everyone's minds were as firm as rock. After only a brief moment of distraction, they recovered.

"Now everything is clear," Pangu Demon God said.

"Pangu, then how do we transcend? We are beings born from a powerful being's origin. How do we leave?"

"We can sense the destruction of epochs. Perhaps it's because we are manifestations of the Heavenly Lord that we can perceive life and death."

"We have lived for countless epochs, which means the Heavenly Lord has been dead for countless epochs. It's probably nearing the end. The remaining origin can no longer sustain the secret realm. If we cannot transcend, we will all die here."

The supremes discussed among themselves.

"Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said at that moment.

"Water-Fire Great Emperor, what do you mean?" the supremes asked in confusion.

"Is the Reincarnation Demon God dead?" the Water-Fire Great Emperor asked.

"I'm here..." The Reincarnation Demon God was a short-statured ancient race member, barely noticeable among the ancient demon gods.

"There is only one way now: send someone out, and have them come back to save us," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said.

"I'll go!" As soon as they heard this, many supremes volunteered, thinking that going out meant transcendence.

"None of you are suitable. Only the Human Emperor qualifies," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said.

"Water-Fire Great Emperor, what do you mean? Everyone knows the Human Emperor is your man. Are you trying to send him away?" The supremes objected.

"Hmph, aren't you supposed to be supremes? Haven't you noticed this?"

"Only the Human Emperor's aura is closest to that of those mysterious beings. If it were you, as soon as you were sent out, you'd be killed by the powerful beings of that world before you could even reincarnate," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said.

Lin Fan was taken aback. What did this have to do with him? But then he thought, this didn't seem bad.

If he stayed here, it was certain death. But if he went out, there was still a glimmer of hope.

The supremes looked at the captured mysterious being, then at the Human Emperor. Indeed, only the Human Emperor's aura was the closest.

"What if this guy goes out and doesn't come back to save us?" a supreme asked.

"No, I, Lin Fan, keep my word. Once I'm out, I'll definitely find a way to save you," Lin Fan said.

"We don't believe you," the supremes shook their heads.

"This is the only way. Believe it or not, otherwise we all wait to die," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said.

For a moment, the supremes pondered.

In the end, the supremes agreed.

"Fine, I believe you."

"Human Emperor, don't let us down."

The supremes looked at Lin Fan and said.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I definitely won't let you down." Lin Fan was delighted.

The Water-Fire Great Emperor looked at Lin Fan. This was a gamble, placing all hope on this Human Emperor.

"Alright, everyone come over. Let's discuss together how the Human Emperor should start once he goes out. This concerns all our lives. I hope you all take it seriously."

"But before that, I think we should eliminate the hidden threats around us," the Water-Fire Great Emperor said.

"What do you mean?" The supremes were startled, not understanding what the Water-Fire Great Emperor meant.

"Hmph, how long do you plan to hide?" The Water-Fire Great Emperor furrowed his brow, and his vast voice shattered the void.

The Seven Sage Old Dog hidden in the void instantly exploded...

How the hell did he find me?
