Chapter 106: A Corner of the Future

*Hiss! *

*Hiss! *

*Hiss! *

Ye Lin widened his eyes, gasping for air, with a look of horror still remaining in his eyes.

He... was still alive?

That sense of despair shrouded by death made Ye Lin's brain stop thinking.

At the same time, a familiar power returned to his body. Ye Lin clearly felt that his Undying Body had returned, and it even seemed to be more powerful than before!

When he lowered his head, he discovered that Student Zhuge Qianxing had already fallen to the ground, his breath as thin as a thread.

Ye Lin hurriedly helped Student Zhuge Qianxing up. He looked at Student Zhuge Qianxing with a complex gaze.

"Why?"

He didn't understand. Student Zhuge Qianxing could clearly have taken away his Undying Body; why did he still return the Undying Body to him?

In this world, was there truly someone who could resist the temptation brought by an Undying Body?

And, why did Student Zhuge Qianxing do this?

Ye Lin couldn't understand at all.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he were Student Zhuge Qianxing, he would definitely have killed himself without hesitation and then occupied the Undying Body.

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!"

Student Zhuge Qianxing coughed, fresh blood gushing from his mouth, but a smile appeared on his face.

"What have I done to make you so disrespectful to me that you aren't even willing to call me 'Teacher'?"

"... Teacher."

Hearing Student Zhuge Qianxing still had the heart to joke, Ye Lin felt complex emotions. He seemed to know nothing at all about this cheap teacher of his.

"Don't worry, you guessed right. I have actually been scheming against you the whole time."

Student Zhuge Qianxing looked at the ceiling calmly, seemingly not caring at all about the impending death, and spoke slowly.

"However, I schemed against you not for your Undying Body, but for... the future of the human race."

"Do you know? When I observed the stars at night, I saw countless endings for my daughter Ni Ni's future. But in those countless futures, she would always die at the same point in time."

"Even if I obtained the Undying Body myself, or even gave the Undying Body to Ni Ni, she would still die at that point in time in various ways."

"In the futures I saw, she died 136,705,023 times."

Student Zhuge Qianxing's tone was very calm, but Ye Lin felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

Watching his own beloved biological daughter die over a hundred million times—for a father, this was simply the cruelest torture in the world!

"Once is a coincidence, but if 136,705,023 futures are all the same, it cannot be a coincidence. If this situation occurs, there is only one explanation."

A thick sense of worry flashed in Student Zhuge Qianxing's eyes.

"That is, at that point in time, it is very likely that the entire You Daxia, or even the entire human civilization, has been completely exterminated."

Ye Lin's breathing became rapid instantly. What kind of catastrophe could it be to exterminate the entire human race? To the point that even having an Undying Body couldn't save one from it?

"Ye Lin, only your future, I cannot see clearly."

"The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven derives forty-nine, and man escapes the one. You are very likely that 'one'!"

Ye Lin scratched his head: "Teacher, why don't you speak in plain language? I don't understand classical Chinese very well."

Student Zhuge Qianxing: "..."

"Between heaven and earth, there are a total of fifty laws governing the operation and development of all things."

Student Zhuge Qianxing pointed at the sky and continued.

"This Heaven can only derive forty-nine, and the one that is escaped is the variable! You, perhaps, are the only person who can change the future of the human race."

"In that corner of the future I saw, there are six other people by your side fighting alongside you. I have recorded their characteristics. They will take the initiative to find you; do not refuse their requests."

Student Zhuge Qianxing handed a silk pouch to Ye Lin.

"I'm sorry, Ye Lin. Forgive me for placing such a heavy burden on you. In the future, you may have to suffer a lot..."

Ye Lin looked at the silk pouch, his expression complex, and then said.

"Teacher, when the catastrophe comes, no one can stay out of it, right?"

Student Zhuge Qianxing had already told him with his actions that his Undying Body was not without flaws. If the opponent's strength was far greater than his, they could forcibly strip him of his Origin Ancient Artifact after imprisoning him.

If the nest is overturned, can there be any whole eggs? If the entire You Daxia and even the entire human race were exterminated, Ye Lin didn't think he could survive alone.

Ye Lin carefully put the silk pouch into the Great Sumeru Ring and then pursued the question.

"By the way, Teacher, what about that flesh ball that claimed to be the guardian of the Origin Ancient Artifact?"

Hearing this, Student Zhuge Qianxing couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"He is a fart of a guardian of the Origin Ancient Artifact. That thing is an incarnation of the Demon Clan's Butterfly Emperor! Its purpose was to use a fragment of the Eternal Balance to lure and capture the half of the Eternal Balance inside your body."

"Inside the Gate of Apocalypse, Origin Ancient Artifacts can be forcibly stripped away. If you had truly touched that fake Eternal Balance, you would have been finished."

"I was just worrying about not finding suitable materials to repair the incomplete Eternal Balance inside your body, so I simply played along. There is nothing better than using the Eternal Balance's own materials to repair it."

Ye Lin's emotions were somewhat complex, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Teacher, since that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You kid are so suspicious; if I had explained this to you in advance, would you have believed me?" Student Zhuge Qianxing laughed dryly.

Ye Lin fell silent. He really wanted to refute Student Zhuge Qianxing, but it was clear that he, who had already been suspicious of Student Zhuge Qianxing, would definitely have thought Student Zhuge Qianxing had other schemes even if he had heard this explanation beforehand.

While Student Zhuge Qianxing was scheming against the Demon Clan, he had also calculated Ye Lin's reactions along the way.

Calculating without missing a single move!

These four words suddenly appeared in Ye Lin's heart. Nothing could describe Student Zhuge Qianxing better than these four words.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Student Zhuge Qianxing coughed again. His already withered aura was now as thin as a thread.

"Teacher!"

Ye Lin's heart tightened, panic flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly supported Student Zhuge Qianxing's tottering body.

"Ye Lin, can I ask you one more thing?"

Student Zhuge Qianxing spoke slowly, with some sadness in his eyes.

"If possible, for the sake of me helping you repair the Origin Ancient Artifact, please take care of Ni Ni... She is the only one in this world I cannot let go of."

"Okay," Ye Lin nodded with a complex expression.

"Thank you..."

Student Zhuge Qianxing revealed a smile, his pupils gradually beginning to dilate.

"Strange, even though I had long calculated my own death date, why am I still so reluctant to let go..." ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
