Chapter 576: Entering the Long River of Time.
"Well, you're here."
Lin Chen stood in the air and suddenly turned around and looked at an open space.
In the void, an old man stepped out.
"Your divine sense is too sharp. To be honest, I can no longer see through you."
The person who came was the Great Elder, who couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at this moment.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and turned around: "Great Elder, which side are you on now? Should I believe you?"
"Are you doubting me?" The Great Elder was stunned.
Lin Chen looked at the Great Elder with calm eyes.
The identity of the Great Elder must be true. He is the son of destiny of the martial arts world and the god of martial arts.
A human transformed into a ghost, with great ambition and revenge.
But Lin Chen was not sure what his position was.
From the performance of the people from the three realms, we can see that human nature is too complicated. Even when facing the same enemy, their thoughts and ideas will not be unified.
The Great Elder has lived for so long, it is not an exaggeration to call him an old and clever man. Is it really that simple that we all stand in the same camp just because we are all human beings?
You must know that the current great elder is a ghost, and his true form is under Yuan’s nose!
Seeing Lin Chen remained silent, the elder's smile faded. Finally, he sighed and said, "I am different from the people of the Three Realms. They are still alive, so they have more things to consider. I am just a dead person..."
"The dead can't speak." Lin Chen said playfully.
"Becoming a ghost is no different from being dead. No matter how strong I am, I will feel cold. That coldness does not come from the outside world, but from my own body and mind."
The Great Elder did not pay attention to Lin Chen's words, but became disappointed:
"The city lord and I are not used to this kind of coldness. If we consider our own interests, rebirth from the dead may be my ultimate goal. This has nothing to do with the improvement of strength, but it is my obsession. But you know that the opportunity to rebirth from the dead lies with you, and I have never fought with you."
"That's right. With your power at the Emperor Realm, if something really happened, it would have caused a huge mess, just like when I was besieged by the Emperor Realm in Gengsheng Continent. It might even have alerted the Yuan Dynasty in advance." Lin Chen nodded.
The reason why he was willing to believe the Great Elder was because the Great Elder had never attacked him and had never done anything improper to him.
"Other emperors in Yinhuang Continent once asked me to kill you, but I didn't do it. Compared to them, my hatred for Yuan is deeper, even the obsession of reincarnation from the dead cannot compare to it." The Great Elder paused, and his body trembled slightly.
His eyes flickered, with fire in the depths of them, and the once indelible images reappeared in his mind.
Wailing, pain, seeking help, unwillingness...
"You don't know how terrible it is for a world to be destroyed. Ordinary people may just regard it as a natural disaster, but for someone like me who is determined to resist evil spirits, it is the heaviest hatred and anger. I must destroy the origin and the horror world. This is my deepest obsession!"
The Great Elder revealed some of his true feelings, perhaps because it was time for the final battle, he no longer disguised himself, and in this ghost body, he once again revealed his true side as the former Wu Tongshen.
Just as he was about to continue, Lin Chen suddenly smiled and raised his hand to stop him:
"Don't get excited, I'm just asking casually."
The elder choked, and the emotion that had just risen was instantly annihilated. He could not help but look at Lin Chen speechlessly: "Then you can rest assured . If Blue Star is destroyed and there is no chance in the world, I will definitely go to Yuan and blow myself up. If I can't kill it, I will at least disgust it. As for now, my real body can still be an insider on Yuan's side."
Lin Chen: "That's not necessary. When the decisive battle begins, you can help me protect Blue Star at the critical moment and delay it for a while."
"What do you mean? Weren't you on Blue Star at that time?" The Great Elder was surprised.
"Xu Renfeng has already entered the dungeon. When he becomes a nine-star player, that is, a true nine-star player on Blue Star, the blood moon will descend upon the world, and the passage between Blue Star and the horror world will open again. At that time, the decisive battle will begin." Lin Chen knew very well what would happen next.
The final battle between the other five worlds and the horror world also follows the same steps.
"During this period, the strongest person on the field is a ghost god, so I don't need your protection. But when Xu Renfeng breaks through to the tenth star , if I haven't broken through to the emperor realm yet, I will need you to take action in person."
With Yuan's blessing, Xu Renfeng may be able to pass the copy given by Yuan even by lying down. By then, he will be given strength by Yuan, and his cultivation progress will advance by leaps and bounds, and he will be able to break through at any time.
But he couldn't tell how long it would take for Lin Chen to break through to the Emperor Realm.
"I understand." The Great Elder reacted and nodded in agreement.
The Blue Star is too fragile without Lin Chen. If the first battle is over but the big war has not yet begun, it will really need his protection and care.
“In this case, although I can no longer fight Yuan in person, the role of this ghost body should be greater in comparison.” The Great Elder sighed slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, this is just a way out. Maybe I can become an emperor very quickly?"
"In fact, for an ordinary human ghost to break through to the Emperor Realm, it would take at least thousands of years if everything is ready... I know you are special and will greatly shorten this time frame, but I really don't know how you can break through so quickly."
"Look up at the sky." Lin Chen raised his hand and pointed.
The Great Elder looked up subconsciously.
There was only a vast expanse of blue above my head, without even a few white clouds to be seen.
He looked at Lin Chen suspiciously, but seeing Lin Chen's confident expression, he couldn't help but look up again. Soon he responded and asked in shock: "The long river of time?"
"Yes, the concept of time there is different from that of Blue Star. I want to go deeper into it, achieve the emperor realm inside, and then return." Lin Chen nodded.
"How is this possible?" The Great Elder exclaimed, "The water of the River of Time contains endless time power. Walking in the River of Time requires a huge amount of energy. Even you can't stay in it for too long, let alone practice."
"Of course I have my own way."
Lin Chen did not say much. Entering the long river of time to practice might be difficult for other ghosts, or even a fantasy.
But it is not difficult for Lin Chen.
He has a time-space boat, which can cross the heavens and travel through the long river of time, and can greatly reduce consumption.
With Lin Chen’s current strength, he is able to master this magical weapon.
"Okay, I have some experience on breaking through the Emperor Realm here, you can take a look." The Great Elder took out a few bamboo slips and handed them to Lin Chen.
Although Lin Chen already had some ideas about the Emperor Realm, he did not refuse and took it.
The two chatted for a while, and then the elder turned and left.
Lin Chen stood quietly in the air, looked at the scenery of the blue planet, and suddenly closed his eyes.
The next moment, a special wave emanated from his body.
This fluctuation is extremely mysterious, and its aura is majestic and grand, but it does not have any power.
Under this fluctuation, Lin Chen's body gradually became transparent!
It's no longer so conspicuous.
It felt like he was merging with the surrounding world!
“This permission is really good.”
Lin Chen raised the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, even Xu Renfeng, the son of destiny, could not compare to Lin Chen in some aspects.
"Xu Renfeng is the son of destiny of Blue Star, and I am the destiny of Blue Star." Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.
My eldest son, no wonder I like you so much, it turns out we have this kind of relationship.
Lin Chen laughed, then his expression calmed down and his consciousness merged with heaven and earth.
For a moment, the entire Blue Planet was included in his perception.
Flowers, trees, wind and rain.
Mountains that have stood for thousands of years, the surging sea, and people walking around, busy with different things.
"Is this what it feels like to dominate everything? I feel like I can do anything in this world now, even without using my divine power."
Lin Chen merged with the heaven and earth, and his mind entered the realm of Tao. This feeling was too mysterious. Indistinctly, Lin Chen's understanding of various skills such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth deepened.
This improvement was somewhat unbelievable, because Lin Chen had only merged for such a short while. As a peak ghost and god, all his abilities had reached the red level, and they would all be improved.
How powerful must Yuan be, the ruler of seven worlds who has integrated heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years!
Lin Chen stretched out his hand.
There was a buzzing sound between heaven and earth that only Lin Chen could hear.
There was no unusual movement around him.
But in every corner of the world, large and small space cracks appeared at the same time.
The locations where these cracks appear are right next to the ghosts hiding on the Blue Star.
The ghosts were surprised at first, then frightened, but before they could think more, a suction force that they could hardly resist emanated from the space crack.
I was sucked in in just an instant.
"Now that I have cleaned up the filth, it's time to deal with the things on my body."
Lin Chen took out an iron pot. This thing had been with him for a long time. After being refined and improved by various resources, it had reached an extremely high level.
"You have already developed intelligence. When I am not around, I will leave the Blue Star to you to protect."
The iron pot was shaking. This extremely evil creature actually revealed an emotion of sadness and reluctance in front of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen slapped the iron pot in annoyance and said, "Alright, you think I won't come back? Just don't do anything bad to me. My puppet will also stay in Blue Star. Except for its strength, it is no different from my original body."
Including the iron pot, Lin Chen left a total of three trump cards for Blue Star.
A puppet that possesses all of his strength but does not have many divine crystals as energy; an iron pot that is at the peak of ghost and god level and has special abilities and gives birth to intelligence; and the real emperor, the great elder Wu Tongshen.
After the iron pot was hit, it immediately became quiet.
"Go find Zhou Geng and give him all the materials and resources left in your body. Let him distribute them. Those things are no longer of any use to me."
After receiving the order, the iron pot showed reluctance again, but when it saw Lin Chen was about to raise his hand again, it trembled suddenly and teleported away from the spot.
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then took out a small boat that emitted space and time energy.
It is the time and space boat.
"It's almost done. Yuan has completely sealed off the heavens. For the time being, we can't go to those places, and we can't deal with ghosts like before."
This is something Lin Chen felt a little regretful about.
But this doesn't mean that ghosts are useless to him.
The reselling of pink sacks is a special kind of reincarnation, which brings telekinesis to be transformed into energy.
Today, Lin Chen is able to directly absorb this power.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the deal between him and Bai Yue was to exchange ghosts for divine crystals.
But now even Lin Chen himself has no divine crystal, so the transaction naturally cannot be completed. Lin Chen used the people rescued in Baidi City and some other resources to exchange for the ghost in Bai Yue's hand.
Since neither side suffered any loss, the matter was dropped.
After clearing out the ghosts from his body and getting everything ready, Lin Chen stepped onto the space-time boat, directly broke through a space crack, and flew away from the Blue Star.
…
At the secret guard headquarters, Zhou Geng had just calmed down after a day of meetings when he saw an iron pot flying towards him.
"Is it Lin Chen's treasure of rules?" Zhou Geng was slightly stunned. He already knew Lin Chen's real name, and as for the iron pot, he naturally knew more about it.
The iron pot floated up and down, just like a living person greeting him, which made Zhou Geng feel amazed.
"You still have spiritual intelligence? What are you doing here? Did that kid Lin Chen ask you to come here?"
As Zhou Geng was speaking, the iron pot suddenly emitted a force of space.
The next moment, all kinds of resources and treasures were spit out from the iron pot like a mountain torrent bursting through a dam.
Various talismans, exotic fruits, magical props, and the top-quality ghost objects that Lin Chen has always thought to be pretty good and that cannot be refined in an iron pot.
"!!!"
Zhou Geng opened his eyes wide as he looked at the dazzling array of resources. There was a roar in his mind, as if thunder was exploding in his ears.
I was stunned on the spot.
“Fuck!”
The door opened, and Duan Jibo, who was pregnant, came in and screamed out loud.
The iron pot, however, was like a bottomless pit, and it had not vomited out all the food. This was just a shallow layer for it...
…
In the long river of time.
Lin Chen went upstream.
Last time, Lin Chen was mainly running against the flow of space, but this time he was truly walking along time.
The light was so bright that it looked like countless tiny meteor fragments flashing before one's eyes.
Lin Chen's divine power consumption was not too great, and it was enough to support the consumption of the space-time boat.
Moreover, Lin Chen possesses a perfect small river of time, which can effectively offset the erosion of the river of time, making him more energy-saving than other beings.
A big star slid down, and Lin Chen looked into the distance with the big star. Then he couldn't help asking, "Xiaobai, in the space countercurrent, since it is a space crossing, it is normal to see other galaxies. Why are there always big stars being washed away by the river in this long river of time?"
"The planets in the river are actually just projections of the planets themselves in the long river of time. You have gone upstream and have traveled back to ten thousand years ago. And it is not the same place, so naturally you can see the so-called planets." Xiaobai responded.
The long river of time is eternal and unique, but too mysterious.
From the moment he entered here, Lin Chen stepped into a completely new time and space. Every second, his concept of time and space was changing.
Even an emperor wouldn't dare to cross the river of time upstream like Lin Chen did.
Because it is actually very easy to get lost, and if you get lost, there is no way back to the world.
The long river of time runs through ancient and modern times. It is a wonderful line. The origin cannot be seen, and the future cannot be reached.
History cannot be easily changed, and the future is uncertain and full of unpredictable variables.
Only "now" is unique.
For example, if Lin Chen did not return by the same route at this time, but forcibly broke away from the long river of time, he would enter a history that had already existed, and it would be difficult to change anything, and he would most likely lose everything.
The only way to return to reality is to go back the same way.
Therefore, traveling through time is itself extremely risky.
Lin Chen dared to do this because he had the Space-Time Boat, a magical time object.
The space-time boat is so strange that a fixed point has been left from the beginning. As long as Lin Chen wants to return, he can find the right direction at any time.
