Candidate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanlan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen, her gaze subtle: “If it were a Human Emperor, facing such a choice, would they be willing to sacrifice themselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied calmly: “Whether they are willing or not, that’s their business, but I am not willing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To help mankind, to save mankind, I can try my best, even risk my life, but to entrust my life to another person and make them successful, I am not willing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was never a noble person to begin with, and as you know, I come from the Human World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are only a few people I care about in this world, and everyone else is a stranger to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they die, I feel pity and sympathy, but I never feel that it’s my fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen paused, and his gaze fell on his own pocket: “I know you can hear what I’m saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you think I’m not the person you approve, you can take back your approval.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s Seal didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen continued: “I don’t know if you have life, or what kind of existence you are, but if you choose me, we can be companions facing any difficulty together and collaborators in accomplishing a certain goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t consider myself your master, and you shouldn’t think of yourself as my manipulator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say that the Human Emperor is the Human Emperor because they are approved by the Emperor’s Seal, and it chooses them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Human Emperor dies, the Emperor’s Seal remains, and there will be a next Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s Seal is eternal, and there are many Emperors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Free will is most precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to be a Human Emperor engulfed by your will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t approve of me, you can leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you approve of me, you can’t play any tricks on me in the future!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanlan Wushuang looked at Lin Chen in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare he speak to the Emperor’s Seal like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the Emperor’s Seal approve of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen answered: “Previously in the Eternal Cemetery, I was trapped by the Old Demoness in a certain-death situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s Seal established a connection with me, allowing me to control it in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if this represents its approval…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang looked shocked and conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can control it to fight against the Demon Ancestor and defeat her, what else would it be if not approval?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen is the new Human Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does Lin Chen want to be the Human Emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he does!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t want to have the Emperor’s Seal, an incredibly powerful treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To command the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wasn’t interested in that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cultivator, he could be free to explore the world without all the affairs and burdens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother with all that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Lin Chen took this opportunity to express his thoughts to the Emperor’s Seal when Nalan Wushuang was being possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Emperor’s Seal accepts it, that’s great, if not, he can just give up his approval and leave Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Emperor’s Seal has a unique will, and even if Lin Chen can control it now, he couldn’t force it if it doesn’t want to cooperate, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s best to make things clear first to avoid confusion later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s Seal still didn’t have any reaction, maintaining an ‘I can’t hear you, do whatever you want’ attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Chen did not say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough to make his bottom line clear, and if he kept on nagging, he might irritate the Emperor’s Seal and lose it for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked up at Nalan Wushuang: “What are your plans next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang was silent for a few seconds, then finally shook her head, her eyes slightly lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Demon Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit is dead, then I will naturally return to the demon race and treat this whole thing as a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waking up, I will continue as normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Demon Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit is not dead, I wouldn’t dare to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet that even though I am unwilling, the other demon race members would be more than happy to sacrifice me for the benefit of the entire demon race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh: “Not only that, but they will sincerely thank you for everything you have done for the demon race, and they will tell you that they will remember you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang’s mouth twitched: “Where are you going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen casually replied: “Westward from here, I should reach the Central Divine State, which used to be the most prosperous state for humans but was destroyed overnight in a war between humans and demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plan to wander around until I cross the Central Divine State and return to Xixi State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Central Divine State?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang hesitated for a moment: “I’m weak right now and will probably need some time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I travel with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked surprised—a Demon Saintess wants to travel with a human cultivator like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen hesitated and then said: “Okay, let’s travel together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we clear up the Demon Ancestor’s situation and make sure it’s safe, you can go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the Demon Ancestor is dead or not, Lin Chen isn’t sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she isn’t dead and Nalan Wushuang goes back, she will likely walk into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she doesn’t want to die, then she must leave the demon race territory and stay out of sight until the Demon Ancestor’s death is confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked at the fox ears on Nalan Wushuang’s head and pointed at them: “You need to wear a hat to cover them up; otherwise, anyone who knows a thing or two will guess your identity as a Fox Girl…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-06T01:51:49.837Z",1,"novelbin.me","8a136ec713278d399756209203fe783dca80d0a906107adc8e3af371a3664a56","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1000","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-998",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
