Chapter 390: with translation of chapter title

The impact of the Ancestral Heavenly Master's visit was naturally enormous.

However, this impact was limited only to Lin Ke, Dean Fulisite, and Luotesinuo, and did not spread outward.

The Vanguard Legion of Ruiwo Suosi Academy, along with other wizard forces that had arrived in the parallel universe, under the guidance of the Supreme Council's Office to the Celestial Civilization, launched an orderly tiered attack on the Demon Civilization as planned.

Just as the wizard civilization would not freely give its 'territory' to the celestial civilization, the celestial civilization would not freely give its 'territory' to the wizard civilization.

This is not nonsense.

Wizard organizations that have come to the parallel universe must conquer the Demon Civilization to establish themselves, seizing resources and territory from it.

The Four Families United Legion belonged to the Ruiwo Suosi Academy's vanguard; after resolving the siege of Michelle Great Sage's Tower by the sixth-level sage legion, not long afterward, they received orders from the vanguard.

Orders are orders; the Four Families United Legion had no room to bargain, nor any qualification to defy them.

The direction pointed to by the banner of the Supreme Council's Office to the Celestial Civilization is the direction in which wizard organizations like the Four Families United Legion, seeking benefits in the parallel universe, strive desperately forward.

As Dean Fulisite Diomande of Ruiwo Suosi Academy, he naturally could not be absent at such a critical moment.

The highest leadership of the Ruiwo Suosi Academy's vanguard could only be Dean Fulisite.

If there were nothing else, Lin Ke could naturally join the Four Families United Legion and fight side by side with Mo Li.

Unfortunately, Lin Ke is trouble-prone, always entangled in other matters.

On the side of the celestial civilization, whether it be the heavenly court or the Heavenly Master's residence that belongs to it, after the Ancestral Heavenly Master's sudden visit, there were no further actions directed at Lin Ke.

Lin Ke could be said to have regained his leisure.

However, leisure cannot last long.

Luotesinuo recovered from the blow dealt by the Ancestral Heavenly Master's means, and then began his 'scouting' activities everywhere.

This time, Luotesinuo deliberately also dragged Lin Ke along.

At first, Lin Ke actually did not want to go with Luotesinuo for the so-called 'scouting'.

Not to mention the Four Families United Legion, which is official duty; just considering his own wife Mo Li, Lin Ke could not bear to part with her.

However, Luotesinuo convinced Lin Ke with just a few simple words.

"You should have realized long ago that upon coming to this universe, to the celestial civilization, you are bound to encounter one trouble after another. Moreover, the troubles you meet are not easily resolved. Are you going to find your wife now in order to bring the trouble to her?"

For many matters, outsiders often see them more clearly.

Because one only needs to judge gains and losses, without being swayed by emotions.

To Luotesinuo, even counting the blood relation between him and Lin Ke in this life, Mo Li Kidman is a complete stranger.

Whether Mo Li Kidman lives happily or miserably, alive or dead, has no effect on Luotesinuo whatsoever.

Thus, Luotesinuo's persuasion made Lin Ke, who already had this awareness, even more determined.

That is, to keep the trouble in his own hands to handle, not bring it to Mo Li.

"Let's go."

After agreeing to Luotesinuo, Lin Ke quickly checked his own equipment and condition, confirmed everything was ready, and then urged the suddenly hesitant Luotesinuo.

"Let's go."

After looking back repeatedly and seeing nothing he wanted to see, Luotesinuo reluctantly set out, once again beginning to wander the territories of the celestial civilization for 'scouting'.

"What are you looking at?"

Walking along the road, Lin Ke asked doubtfully.

"Nothing."

Luotesinuo did not really want to answer this question seriously, choosing to give a perfunctory reply.

Lin Ke persisted and asked again: "What are you waiting for?"

Although he changed the phrasing, he was still asking about the same thing.

This made Luotesinuo feel uneasy.

"I'm not waiting for anything."

He had already cast aside the 'pretentiousness' of a sage reincarnation, instead following the emotional responses proper to an adolescent boy; his words and actions sometimes became rather childish, and in a fit of embarrassed anger he lowly growled, "Can't you shut up? Not speaking doesn't make anyone think you're mute!"

"Oh."

Lin Ke answered indifferently, then shifted the topic, as if muttering to himself or deliberately speaking to Luotesinuo: "Is someone looking at the Ancestral Heavenly Master and wondering if there are other means? Or perhaps waiting for the Ancestral Heavenly Master to appear again?"

"You're overthinking it."

Luotesinuo gave Lin Ke a white-eyed look and snorted angrily.

"Oh."

Lin Ke again answered indifferently, curled the corner of his mouth into a smile, and was about to continue with some flirtatious remarks.

Poking people's lungs is not something only Luotesinuo can do.

Since Luotesinuo can freely point out that Lin Ke is a troublemaker, Lin Ke can also find fault with Luotesinuo.

If Luotesinuo were now a complete sage reincarnation, Lin Ke would still have no way to deal with him.

What a pity.

What a pity that Luotesinuo, for the sake of better 'growth,' must live a complete life.

Usually, Luotesinuo must maintain the state appropriate for an adolescent.

Only at special moments, such as when in contact with Dean Fulisite, the Ruowo Great Sage, and the Suosi Great Sage, or this time encountering the Ancestral Heavenly Master of the celestial civilization, does Luotesinuo comb his hair into an adult style.

"Shut up! No speaking!"

Seeing the situation turning bad, not wanting to be poked in the lungs again, Luotesinuo hurriedly shouted before Lin Ke could speak.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll shut up."

Lin Ke laughed happily; the gloom from being unable to fight side by side with his wife due to his troublemaker constitution dissipated somewhat.

When a conflict cannot be effectively resolved, the best way is to transfer the conflict.

Now, Lin Ke has transferred his own gloom by exposing Luotesinuo's shortcomings.

Luo Te Si Nuo led Lin Ke, unhappy, to the place where he had "accidentally" encountered what seemed to be Lin Ke's parallel-universe isotope, continuing his pre-planned itinerary.

Are you familiar with the Immortal God Civilization?

On the way to the accidental meeting place, Lin Ke kept observing Luo Te Si Nuo's behavior.

He found that Luo Te Si Nuo didn't use 'navigation', yet precisely found the route in a starry expanse that should have been unfamiliar.

Not only did he not go wrong, he also took many shortcuts not marked on the star charts, shortening the travel time.

Not familiar.

Luo Te Si Nuo flatly denied it, casually explaining, 'My star maps are more advanced than yours.'

There's such a claim? I don't believe it.

Lin Ke spread his hands, 'Unless you let me see your star map.'

Luo Te Si Nuo tilted his head, gave Lin Ke a glance, and had no intention of responding to that request.

Stingy!

Lin Ke muttered, withdrawing his palm. For some reason, on this outing with Luo Te Si Nuo, his words and deeds were somewhat out of character.

It seemed that the martial artist who sees gods via immortal martial dao, with the saying 'break the void to see god,' upon seeing his own true spirit, gave Lin Ke an experience of seeing his true nature.

Some emotions and feelings that should have arisen during his growth, which Lin Ke had deliberately suppressed for various reasons, were now released.

Perhaps this is why many people become 'old mischievous children' or 'old kids' in their later years.

The repressed nature has been released.

Deep down, Lin Ke is also a mischievous person who loves to joke and enjoys playing pranks.

The organization name 'Do Anything Freely' is one manifestation.

Luo Te Si Nuo gave Lin Ke a once‑over, then said with deep meaning: 'Remember your current state, experience it well, keep it in mind—it will help you.'

Upon hearing that, Lin Ke thought for a moment, then smiled: 'That's your talk of experience; it surely makes sense, thank you. As repayment, I'll give you a reminder too.'

What reminder?

Having experience is certainly good. But I personally think experience should serve as reference, not be copied verbatim. Since you are already re‑experiencing a 'growth' life, why not try re‑experiencing a 'cultivation' life as well?

What do you mean?

I increasingly feel that cultivation progressing too fast is not entirely good; it easily leads to an unstable foundation. Your situation is naturally different from mine, but reincarnation is reincarnation; even after some procedures, if your true spirit is neither reorganized nor obscured, the will of the wizard world still acknowledges your saint status. However, Saint Nositelodam is Saint Nositelodam; Nositeluo Grand or Luo Te Si Nuo Grand is simply Nositeluo Grand or Luo Te Si Nuo Grand. In the end, there is a difference.

Thank you for the reminder.

After a few serious sentences, both fell silent, each undertaking disguise.

Two wizards walking in the Immortal God Civilization's territory without disguise would too easily draw strange looks and attention.

Luo Te Si Nuo and Lin Ke aren't trying to evade the Heavenly Court's surveillance to sneak around and cause trouble; they just want to avoid as much trouble as possible.

During the disguise process, both Lin Ke and Luo Te Si Nuo were deep in thought.

Especially Luo Te Si Nuo, whose eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light.

Lin Ke's reminder struck a chord with Luo Te Si Nuo and is well worth heeding.

It also means that the favor Luo Te Si Nuo once owed Lin Ke for reminding him not to bring trouble to Mo Li Ji Deman's place has been repaid.

Soon after, the disguise ended; they wore deep robes with wide sleeves, their demeanor exceptional, their grace unmatched.

No matter how you look at them, they don't resemble wizards from other universes, but rather cultivators of this universe's Immortal God Civilization.

The two checked each other, found no flaws, and left the disguise outpost.

As Lin Ke walked through the ancient‑style cities and countryside, he discovered that Luo Te Si Nuo was truly wandering aimlessly.

Lin Ke could see that Luo Te Si Nuo was searching for something, and doing so by intuition.

It seemed Luo Te Si Nuo himself didn't know what he was looking for—whether it was alive or dead, a person or something else.

Luo Te Si Nuo's attitude toward 'fate,' together with the reincarnated identity of a mystic‑system wizard saint, made Lin Ke suspect that Luo Te Si Nuo was seeking the guidance of fate.

If that's the case, then why did Luo Te Si Nuo drag Lin Ke along?

Having repaid Luo Te Si Nuo's favor for reminding him about trouble and danger, Lin Ke no longer restrained himself, and smoothly began to suspect Luo Te Si Nuo's motive for insisting he come along to 'gather winds'.

Combined with Luo Te Si Nuo's somewhat unusual behavior before departure, Lin Ke formed a few guesses.

What are you thinking about?

While walking and looking around, Luo Te Si Nuo noticed Lin Ke's absent‑minded look and suddenly asked.

I'm wondering, what exactly are you looking for, and why do you insist on bringing me along?

Lin Ke did not conceal it, frankly speaking his thoughts.

Sincerity is the eternal killer technique.

Exchange sincerity for sincerity, truth for truth.

Lin Ke's attitude is clear: I won't hide things from you, so don't placate me.

Luo Te Si Nuo understood Lin Ke's message and fell silent in thought.

After a moment, Luo Te Si Nuo's thinking yielded a result.

He also frankly said, 'I am looking for a star, and also for a beam of light.'

A star? What kind of star?

Lin Ke asked doubtfully.

That beam of light very likely refers to the one the Ancestral Heavenly Master of the Immortal God Civilization mentioned last time, which came from another universe and whose fate is unknown.

Lin Ke could easily think of that.

But Lin Ke truly didn't understand what Luo Te Si Nuo meant by 'a star'.

I don't know either.

Luo Te Si Nuo spread his hands, feeling helpless and somewhat resentful, saying, 'The will of the wizard world brought me to this universe to pursue the so‑called fate guidance, to find a star, yet it doesn't tell me what that star looks like—I'm annoyed too.'

Upon hearing that, Lin Ke blinked.

Aren't we talking about finding stars? How come there's suddenly new gossip to eat?

I really want to slice this melon open and feast on it.

Seeing Lin Ke's wink, Luotesinuo said unhappily, "Don't put on that mischievous look—ask whatever you want to know."

You made a deal with the Will of the Wizard World? You help the Will of the Wizard World find stars, and what does it give you as compensation?

Lin Ke, comprehending and going along with it, curiously pressed on.

The compensation has already been given to me.

Luotesinuo, who answers every question, sighed and said, "You think preserving the true soul's reincarnation is a simple matter? Especially with several of my contingency plans ruined by you. My deal with the Will of the Wizard World is that it helps me patch up a few omissions, and I do three things for it."

I see.

Lin Ke nodded, suddenly enlightened, then promptly closed his mouth, indicating he had no intention of pursuing further questions.

Some melons taste sweet when eaten, but shouldn't be overindulged.

For example, what three things the Will of the Wizard World wants Luotesinuo to do—Lin Ke truly has no interest, and dare not have any.

Lin Ke suspected that Luotesinuo was just waiting for him to ask that question.

At the point of advancing from fourth-rank sage to fifth-rank sage, Lin Ke learned from Luotesinuo the three things the Will of the Wizard World wants Luotesinuo to do—can he simply ignore them and refuse to help?

Of course he can.

After all, this is the deal between Luotesinuo and the Will of the Wizard World, having nothing to do with Lin Ke.

But can it really be that simple?

The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relations and worldly affairs.

Cultivation is the same.

Luotesinuo waited a while, but didn't get Lin Ke's follow‑up question, feeling somewhat disappointed.

But this was also within Luotesinuo's expectations.

If it were that easy to take the bait, Linke Grand wouldn't be alive today.

Anyway, let's first calmly look for the stars.

We'll talk about setting traps later.
