hundred miles west of Shengge City, there stands a mountain as upright as a Ten Thousand Meter Sword, towering into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underneath an ancient pine, a small tea table holds several dishes, a bottle of wine, and two wine glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen is sitting on a chair, quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Defa and Yuan Ji stand behind him, like loyal protectors, standing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Lin Chen had considerable reservations about meeting with the Demon Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he has received two half immortal servants, his safety is guaranteed and he no longer hesitates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let Si Defa go to Shengge City and randomly caught a Shape Transformation demon race with suitable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave him a Jade Slip, told him to take it to the Demon Emperor’s Palace, and personally handed it over to the Demon Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen invited the Demon Emperor for a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures appear in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader is none other than the Demon Emperor, Lin Yuan, who is accompanied by two old men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the first sight of Lin Chen, sitting under an ancient pine on a mountain platform, the Demon Emperor’s eyes flash with surprise, which then cools into an icy stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor lands across from Lin Chen, his gaze sweeping across Si Defa and Yuan Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spots the scales on Yuan Ji’s forehead, he frowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A demon race is serving as a guard for Lin Chen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looks at the eyes of the man before him, sighs after a long while, “You are the Demon Emperor, not Lin Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor sits down across from Lin Chen, smiling and saying, “If you prefer, you can call me father, I will accept.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughs and says, “The dazzling Demon Emperor, do you also like to take these cheap verbal victories?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor replies, “Your father and I have fused our wills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were originally one person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen sighs, “Yes, you have fused, like a great river and a small one converging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water from the small river still exists, but what people see is the great river, not the small one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor replies with a laugh, “Your comparison is quite good, simple and easy to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual situation is indeed so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All your father’s memories remain, but now, I am the one in control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His emotions are no longer important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, frowning, replied, “In other words, he is effectively dead, isn’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor replied, “Yes, however, if I wanted to, he could come forward and have a deep father-and-son interaction with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned, “Since you’ve completely fused, where does ‘he’ come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you saying you have not fully fused?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor hummed coldly, “Although we have already shared memories and emotions, and have deeply fused, he still refuses to fully fuse, sealing away a piece of his determined thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t fuse this lingering thought, and because we have already fused, I can’t completely kill him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I imprisoned this recurring thought in the deepest part of my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless I am willing, he can never come out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A persistent thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen immediately understood, it seemed likely that during the fusion, his father realized he was more like the small river being swallowed in the fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his memories and emotions remained after the fusion, they would be dominated by the will of the Demon Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would completely lose his ego and his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, he resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sealed a persistent thought, which surely represented his soul’s defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not wish to be controlled, disappear, or to be completely fused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if only a single thought remained, he wanted it to be his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This persistent thought, however weak, was pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purely devoted husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sincerely affectionate father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only desire was simple: to spend peaceful days with his family, not to dominate over all beings under the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed and said, “So, if I kill you and release that persistent thought, wouldn’t that suffice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor calmly replied, “That might work, although I am not sure if it would be ultimately successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, this plan also presumes that you could kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was left deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he ask Xuanji Fairy or Qi to help him directly capture and take him away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they seal his strength, can they suppress his subjective will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen thought of this possibility but soon decided against it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they captured him, Lin Chen would not dare to return him to his mother’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or else, there’s no telling whether his mother would become his hostage instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the Demon Emperor’s will was completely resolved, it would be best not to let him get close to his family and friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows what he would do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, there was no need to rush to confront him, not until he had dealt with Xuanji Fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, as long as he could resolve the imminent crisis of the impending war, that would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lin Chen had settled his thoughts, his mood immediately lightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meeting carried disappointment, but also a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was stronger, he could perhaps allow his father’s will to resurface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had never died or been completely fused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, he could ask Fairy Xuanji to help later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having decided this, Lin Chen no longer dwelled on the issue of the fusion of the Demon Emperor and his father’s will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted the topic and said: “I invited you here for two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, to see your status, and second, to ask you to cancel the Thousand Cities Plan, to stop your war plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor stared at Lin Chen and sneered, “Why should I stop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen met his gaze and asked straightaway, “What is your ultimate goal in initiating this war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To annihilate the living forces of the Human Clan and enslave them to the Demon Clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-06T01:52:00.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5e25ef8cefe5ee89f89007707289efed0ff4bf8bde6aed072fe9db62913645e","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1210","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1208",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
