Chapter 134: Father? He is unworthy!

"Guess who I am? If you can state my identity, that would mean you have already neared the center of power in this Endless Divine Land." The Holy Emperor tilted his head, looking at Lin Yan with amusement.

"Wait, you ask me about Shuiqiu, could it be that you are Xiao...!"

Alarm bells rang wildly in Lin Yan's heart, because up until now, only one peerless powerhouse had emerged from Shuiqiu!

Oh right, there was also a tower!

In an instant, Lin Yan dared not continue speaking, afraid to utter that person's true name and suffer karma, cold sweat streaming down, but he immediately realized something was wrong!

"You are not that person, you are... that Tower Spirit!"

Lin Yan's eyes were suddenly filled with horror as he blurted out the Holy Emperor's identity; compared to its master, this Tower Spirit was even harder to deal with, an alternative existence completely detached from the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements!

The corners of the Holy Emperor's mouth curled up, and he snapped his fingers lightly, "It seems your status is already quite high, so congratulations, you guessed right."

Boom!

The moment the words fell, the Holy Emperor struck suddenly!

"No, don't!" Lin Yan was terrified to the core, completely forgetting to defend himself, and turned to flee!

But the Nine Spirits Departing Fire Cover, which had transformed into a barrier, was originally meant to prevent Lin Potian from escaping; now it had become Lin Yan's nightmare. Lin Yan could not escape at all, crashing headlong into the cover and being bounced back!

Whoosh...!

The Holy Emperor took a step forward and seized Lin Yan by the back of his neck, divine light surging wildly around him. In just an instant, he shattered Lin Yan's physical body, leaving only a wisp of the purest divine soul!

"Holy Emperor, I have not offended you, why do you attack me?" With his physical body destroyed, Lin Yan racked his brains but could not figure out why that terrifying Tongtian Tower Spirit would appear here, and he let out a shrill, piercing shriek.

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor picked at his ear and said calmly, "Keep it down. The reason is simple: because your ancestor is the person my master chose, and he is now also my Young Master."

Lin Yan was stunned, then his divine soul suddenly turned cold, and he mocked himself, "So that's how it is. The ancestor truly has deep fortune."

The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes, unable to miss the sarcasm in Lin Yan's words, and said in a deep voice, "For someone like you who betrays your master and destroys your ancestors, why did the Young Master even ask me to spare your life? I see no need for it at all!"

"The ancestor asked you to spare my life?" Lin Yan's expression was dazed. Having done such an unfilial thing, and with the outcome now set in stone, the ancestor still wanted to spare his life?

For a moment, Lin Yan's heart was filled with extreme complexity.

The Holy Emperor had wanted to say more, but he was not a meddlesome person, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let your ancestor tell you this himself. I only ask you: where are the coordinates of Shuiqiu now, and what is its current situation?"

Lin Yan took a few deep breaths, calming down from his previous complex emotions. Since things had reached this point, he did not want to put up a futile struggle, so he said, "The coordinates of Shuiqiu are in Tiankui Xi, southeast..., and the current situation on Shuiqiu is not very good. Although their technology is advanced, they cannot resist the mental erosion of several Fate Controllers. Self-mutilation to gain power has become the norm. Even more concerning is that there seems to be another race not belonging to the Endless 【Divine Land】 also eroding Shuiqiu, and many alternative existences have appeared, creating endless panic on Shuiqiu. This phenomenon is called by the people of Shuiqiu... Mysterious Revival!"

"For this reason, the Great Ancestor even sent a Great Fate Controller, a powerhouse equivalent to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, to expel the mystery on Shuiqiu, though I do not know if they have succeeded yet."

"Mysterious Revival? Lin Yan, explain yourself more clearly." The Holy Emperor frowned; based on this sentence alone, he could not determine what kind of sacred entity the other race invading Shuiqiu was.

After all, this world was too vast; there were universes beyond universes, and heavens beyond heavens. No one could clearly state how large this heaven and earth was. The higher the realm, the more one would feel one's own insignificance.

The Holy Emperor also dared not claim to be omniscient and omnipotent.

"Apologies, I do not know the specific details either. The last time I went to Shuiqiu was 1,500 years ago."

"At that time, they had just managed to step off their planet and were very weak. As for now, Shuiqiu has mastered the ability to counter cultivators and has been listed as a Forbidden Zone. Only the most core big shots of the Endless Divine Land know about things there, and I am not qualified to learn too much." Lin Yan shook his head; with only a wisp of his divine soul remaining, he did not want to hide anything anymore.

He had already lost the chance to compete and could no longer be brilliant, so he might as well say everything he knew to build a good relationship with the Holy Emperor.

"Fine, I understand."

The Holy Emperor responded, awakened Lin Potian, and handed back control of the body.

"Sigh!" Lin Potian's divine soul returned, and looking at Lin Yan, who was left with only a wisp of his purest divine soul, he could not help but sigh...

Hearing the sigh, Lin Yan, being quick-witted, immediately knew that the Tower Spirit had left and that it was now his ancestor Lin Potian who had returned. Compared to Lin Potian's inner conflict, Lin Yan was relieved and smiled lightly:

"Ancestor, things have come to this, I have nothing left to cling to. Kill me."

"Having done such an unfilial thing, I am not worthy of remaining in this world."

As he finished speaking, Lin Potian stopped sighing and shook his head repeatedly: "You are at fault, but the one who is at deeper fault is that God of Gods!"

"We of the Lin Family are not here to be raised as gu for him. Your nature is not bad; you just walked the wrong path under his influence."

Hearing this, Lin Yan's divine soul trembled, as if thinking of some painful matter, and he burst into tears instantly: "Ancestor, I... I really had no choice. If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to survive!"

"That day, the Great Ancestor gathered me and Lin Yi, saying he wanted to select the strongest Lin Family member, so he made me and Lin Yi fight. I lost and was severely injured. Seeing this, the Great Ancestor discarded me like worn-out shoes, telling me to fend for myself, only saying that if I could find you and defeat you—regardless of whether you lived or died—he would restore my injuries. I was momentarily possessed by a devil..."

As the words fell, the sound of Lin Potian grinding his teeth could be heard continuously; he was so angry that his hair stood on end, his fists clenched tight, yet he could not say a single word!

When a person is in extreme anger, they cannot say a single word.

One must ask, what kind of good person could use such a cruel method of mutual slaughter, akin to raising gu?

God of Gods, father?

Bah!

He is simply unworthy!
