Chapter 117: On the Eve of Ascension!

Lin Potian chuckled and said, "There is no need for this. The cause was in the past, and the fruit is today, but you must walk the path of the future yourself; I can only help you this far."

"But why did it come to this? What about your subordinates, Heilong Dadi, the Insect Emperor of God-Devouring, and the others? Given how well you treated your subordinates, could they really be so heartless as to watch you end up like this?"

Di Tian shook his head, a flash of pain crossing his eyes, and covered his face as he said, "To save me, they all died, not even leaving behind a shred of True Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's tiger-like body shuddered, and he said solemnly, "What exactly happened?"

Di Tian let out a heavy sigh, looked at Lin Potian, and after much hesitation, decided to speak: "Do you remember that Wang Daoji was rescued by a mysterious person?"

Lin Potian nodded; how could he ever forget that? He had been worried for quite a while back then!

"That mysterious person appeared later and came looking for me."

Di Tian closed his eyes slightly and tilted his head back, as if he did not want to recall that cruel memory, and paused for a long time.

But since he had already started, Di Tian decided to finish, continuing: "That person was also a Chongtongzhe, and their strength was extremely formidable. Just one look from them nearly stared me to death. If it weren't for Heilong and the others desperately shielding me, I fear I would never have been able to escape."

"However, I find this Chongtongzhe very strange. Their aura is abnormally unstable; when strong, it is unfathomable, but when unstable, it is merely at the Great Emperor or even Great Saint cultivation level? It is as if three people are constantly fighting for ownership. If it weren't for that, I suspect that even with Heilong and the others shielding me, I wouldn't have been able to escape!"

Lin Potian was a bit confused; it sounded like several people squeezed into one body, but since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Potian couldn't be sure.

"I don't really understand what kind of state that is either. I had originally prepared to live out the rest of my life in a daze, but today I have reignited my fighting spirit. I want to avenge Heilong and the others!"

Di Tian's eyes contained deep hatred. He could not accept that those he viewed as brothers had fallen before his eyes. For the rest of his life, he only wanted revenge, and that was his only goal.

Hearing this, Lin Potian didn't know what to say, and sighed, "Don't live in hatred, but having a reason to live is fine too."

"Unlike me, I can no longer tell what is real and what is fake."

Di Tian frowned tightly: "Can you tell me about it? Although I might not be able to help, I can be a listener."

Lin Potian thought about it; this matter was not obscure, and Di Tian was someone he could trust, so he could tell him.

Thus, he recounted the whole story exactly as it happened.

After listening, Di Tian's eyes widened, and he said in extreme disbelief: "You mean to say that you are not from this world, but a Visitor from Beyond the Heavens? Does that mean there are other worlds??"

Lin Potian nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Hiss...! That is simply awesome!"

Di Tian felt it was too explosive, and he looked at Lin Potian with a bit of excitement. A Visitor from Beyond the Heavens, and there was actually a Heaven beyond the Heavens; it turned out this world was... so big!!

But speaking of the matter at hand, Di Tian continued: "However, you don't need to be too anxious. Look at what this world is like; that is what it is. Your identity is not something you can decide. Life is just a journey; there is no need to dwell on the past. Living in the present is what's real. Does it matter if she is your biological sister or not? Would that affect the bond of affection between you?"

"I think not."

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian pondered these words repeatedly, his eyes growing brighter. The fact was indeed so; even if Wan'er was not his biological sister, he would still treat her as he always had. Although his foster parents had passed away, the grace of their upbringing was real, so what use was there in dwelling on it further?

As if a single word had awakened a dreamer, Lin Potian suddenly felt his thoughts become clear!

For many things, one must act to get a result; fate is in one's own hands!

"Di Tian, thank you!"

Lin Potian cupped his hands, his attitude sincere.

"No need for thanks. So, where are you planning to go now? You won't be staying in the Heavens for long, will you?" Dizun smiled slightly and asked with a wave of his hand.

Lin Potian nodded, "I am going to the Immortal Domain."

On one hand, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Domain had once said that all mysteries would be cleared up after reaching the Upper Immortal Domain; on the other hand, Lin Potian was truly worried about Liuli and the three Wunian brothers. Since there was nothing left to do in the Heavens, Lin Potian could not wait to go to the Immortal Domain.

But Lin Potian always had an indescribable, ominous premonition in his heart, his heart skipping beats. Coupled with the confusing remarks of the Devouring beast earlier, his intuition told Lin Potian that it certainly wouldn't go too smoothly.

"Can you take me with you? The person who killed Heilong and the others has no aura in the lower realm. I want to go to the Immortal Domain to try my luck." Di Tian rubbed his hands and asked, hopeful in his heart. If Lin Potian didn't take him, he didn't know when he would ever get to the Immortal Domain.

"I can, but I am feeling uneasy; I fear something bad might happen. Di Tian, are you afraid?" Lin Potian frowned, informing him of the potential risks.

"What is there to be afraid of? As long as I want to go, the road is under my feet! If there are risks, so be it. The point is, if I'm alone, I don't know when in the world I'll ever get up there." Di Tian gave a sheepish smile, speaking the truth.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor walked over slowly from behind, looking at Di Tian with appreciation, and said with his head held high: "I think you speak quite interestingly. Do you have any thoughts about becoming my sworn brother?"

Lin Potian turned his head, looking stunned: "Holy Emperor, why do you want to swear brotherhood with everyone you meet?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor explained: "Master often says that there are only three things in life: be ruthless enough, be loyal enough, and have many brothers. I have always taken these three sentences as truth."

"So, you're called Di Tian, right? Swear brotherhood with me, and I'll cover you!"

"No, no matter what, I should be the one covering you, little brother!" Di Tian said with slight indignation. The silver-haired youth in front of him looked very sloppy and didn't look like an expert at all; what was he acting all high and mighty for?

The Holy Emperor said nothing, merely unleashing his aura. The terrifying pressure nearly left Di Tian dumbfounded!

"Little brother, is your Holy Emperor brother capable of covering you?" The Holy Emperor smiled playfully, looking smug.

If acting cool required strength, then he, the Holy Emperor... happened to have it!

"Enough, enough, Brother Holy Emperor, please accept this bow from your little brother!" Di Tian immediately changed his tune, being very wise to the ways of the world.

"Good, good, good. Just call me Big Brother. When there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce you to Second Brother. Although Second Brother can't cover you right now, in the future, he will definitely be able to!" The Holy Emperor smiled brightly, helped Di Tian up, and began talking about Lin Hao.

Immediately, the two began bragging and flattering each other, which was too much for Lin Potian to watch; he could only call them experts, six-six-six!

"Alright, stop bragging, it's time to go to the Immortal Domain." Lin Potian said sternly, reminding them.

The Holy Emperor and Di Tian both turned serious and nodded heavily, "Right!"

At once, Lin Potian began to brew his divine ability, pointing toward the void.

Just then, a hurried voice rang out from the distant horizon!

"Foster father, wait for us of the Dragon-man Clan! Wuwu, only when the mountains have no edges and the heavens and earth merge, would I dare to part from you!"
