429. Chapter 429 New World

What is bondage?

Literally it means twining and binding; figuratively it means restraint or limitation.

What is delimitation?

Figuratively it means to limit within a certain range.

Putting together Luo Te Si Nuo's words and Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke's statement, Lin Ke could well understand what Luo Te Si Nuo meant by 'where to go next'.

Thanks.

Having figured this out, Lin Ke immediately gave his verbal thanks.

You're welcome.

Luo Te Si Nuo raised his eyebrows and immediately said, 'If you really want to thank me, please cooperate properly next time; don't be so clueless about joking.'

The so-called 'not getting the joke' refers to Luo Te Si Nuo previously using some clips and lines from the movie New World to mess around, while Lin Ke only frowned slightly, asked a question, and had no other reaction.

Even when Luo Te Si Nuo tried to steer the conversation back to New World, Lin Ke gave an extremely stiff refusal.

I don't like joking.

Lin Ke said coldly, 'I prefer to be direct; say what you have to say, do what you have to do, I don't like beating around the bush.'

Silently, Lin Ke added in his heart: 'Nor do I like being picked at.'

Huh?

Luo Te Si Nuo exclaimed in surprise, circling Lin Ke a few times as if meeting him for the first time, 'You don't like joking? How could I not know?'

There's a lot you don't know.

Lin Ke casually replied, then said, 'If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.'

Saying this, Lin Ke turned and headed toward the door.

If Luo Te Si Nuo truly had nothing else to say or do, Lin Ke really prepared to leave.

It was not a threat, nor was it a strategic retreat.

This time I first returned to the wizard civilization universe, then to the immortal-god civilization universe, and subsequently had exchanges, either pleasant or unpleasant, with the Void Tranquil Heavenly Master, several Diomandes, Soren Lucia, the Elemental Sage, Michel Heavenly Venerable, as well as Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke and Luotesinuo.

Lin Ke can truly say that he has achieved clarity of mind and nature, knowing what he wants, what he can obtain, what he needs to do and how to do it, in order to turn what he wants into what he can obtain.

Lin Ke can truly say that he has attained clarity of mind and seen his nature; he knows what he wants, what he can obtain, what he needs to do, and how to do it, in order to turn what he wants into what he can obtain.

Now that you understand, go do it; don't delay even a moment.

Seeing this, Luo Te Si Nuo rolled his eyes and muttered, 'I've told you all this for nothing, I told you to slow down, slow down, don't rush, why do you never listen?'

At this moment, the so-called Saint reincarnation was just like a nagging old woman.

Lin Ke turned and walked out.

Keeping pace with Lin Ke, Luo Te Si Nuo continued to nag: 'I've hinted or told you outright that for a long time to come, in order to quickly and safely restore my status and power, I must stay close to you and act together. You, this cheap big brother, are really cheap—there's no brotherly feeling at all, so cold, so indifferent! sigh…'

Luo Te Si Nuo heaved a deep sigh: 'For the sake of maintaining our brotherly bond, I've really worn myself out worrying.'

Lin Ke stopped in his tracks and said seriously, 'Actually, you don't need to worry so much.'

Lin Ke stopped his steps and said seriously, "Actually, you don't need to worry so much."

Luo Te Si Nuo raised his eyebrows, 'I hope you can still say that so calmly a while later.'

Having said that, he seemed to become emotional; Luo Te Si Nuo closed his mouth, huffing.

Having said that, he seemed to become emotional; Luotesinuo closed his mouth, huffing.

The Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe waiting outside the contact point saw Lin Ke and Luo Te Si Nuo, leading his members in a unanimous greeting to Luo Te Si Nuo, with extremely respectful tone and attitude.

The Medici Sage waiting outside the contact point, upon seeing Lin Ke and Luotesinuo, led the members in greeting Luotesinuo in unison, with an extremely respectful tone and demeanor.

Luo Te Si Nuo, however, retorted sharply, adopting an attitude of taking out his frustration from Lin Ke on the Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe and his group.

The Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe and his members didn't know what had happened.

Each one dared not speak out in anger, could hardly muster any anger, and could only look at Lin Ke in puzzlement.

Upon entering the contact point, they could all see the Saint reincarnation's strange appearance, obviously in a good mood.

Just after coming out for a while, to give the Saint reincarnation and Linke Grand Wizard some space to talk, the Saint reincarnation's mood turned so bad.

It was obvious that there must have been some friction between Linke Grand Wizard and the Saint reincarnation, causing the latter's mood to deteriorate so much that they started taking it out on others.

It is obvious that there must be some friction between Linke Grand the wizard and the reincarnated sage, causing the sage's reincarnation to become so upset that he started taking it out on others.

Luo Te Si Nuo, this plan didn't work; he'll try another scheme, determined to make him ask about the New World.

May I ask, does anyone know how to deal with a cheap younger brother who is a Saint reincarnation with a weird temper?

Waiting online, really urgent!

After sighing, Lin Ke gave the Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe and his members an apologetic glance, then called out to Luo Te Si Nuo: 'Come, let's discuss: how do you know about the New World, and what is the deeper meaning behind your use of its clips and lines?'

After sighing, Lin Ke gave the Medici Sage and his team an apologetic glance, then called out to Luotesinuo: "Come, let's discuss—how do you know about New World, and what is the deeper meaning behind your adaptation of its passages and lines?"

Luo Te Si Nuo's expression instantly cleared from cloudy to sunny, brows relaxing and eyes smiling.

Then he walked up to Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe, patted his shoulder, and said casually, 'You little guy, stuck. You haven't found the opportunity to become a Grand Xian Zhe, have you?'

Then he walked up to the Medici Sage, patted his shoulder, and casually said, "You little brat, stuck. Haven't you been unable to find the opportunity to advance to Grand Sage?"

Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe guessed what kind of opportunity he might get, feeling somewhat excited, yet on the surface he could still restrain his emotions well.

"As for wizards, they pursue freedom; don't be too restrained."

Luo Te Si Nuo circled Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe, speaking with meaning: 'Always restraining one's emotions, though it has benefits—being sufficiently rational and objective—but it also has drawbacks. The drawback lies in that others, the will of the wizard world, even yourself, will fail to see your heart clearly. A wizard whose will and whose own heart are both unclear, how can he further resonate with himself, further resonate with the wizard world's will, further bond and merge with the wizard world? If you can't achieve these points, what can you use to become a Grand Xian Zhe?'

Luotesinuo walked around the Medici Sage once, pointing meaningfully and said, "Always restraining your emotions—though it has benefits, being sufficiently rational and objective—but it also has drawbacks. The drawback lies in that others, the will of the wizard world, and even yourself, cannot see your heart clearly. A wizard whose heart is unclear to both the will of the wizard world and himself—how can he further resonate with himself, further resonate with the will of the wizard world, and further bond and merge with the wizard world? If you cannot achieve these, what will you use to advance to Grand Sage?"

As the saying goes, 'A true transmission is a single sentence; a false transmission is ten thousand volumes.'

Having troubled Mei Di Qi Xian Zhe for years, he had also consulted the Elemental Saint, but each time the answer was that the opportunity had not yet arrived—a bottleneck—until finally it loosened.

The Medici Sage had been troubled for many years; he had also once sought advice from the Elemental Saint, but each time the answer received was the shackle of an opportunity not yet arrived, finally loosened.

Mei Diqi Sixth-level Sage has already seen the hope of his promotion to Seventh-level Grand Sage.

We have Mei Diqi Sixth-level Sage = Mei Diqi Sixth-level Sage? Actually Mei Diqi is name, Sixth-level Sage = Sixth-level Sage. So "Mei Diqi Sixth-level Sage has already seen the hope of his promotion to Seventh-level Grand Sage." But we need to keep exact meaning. Let's translate: "Mei Diqi Sixth-level Sage has already seen the hope of his promotion to Seventh-level Grand Sage." Ensure we keep "already". Use "has already seen". Good.

Most importantly, this hope is great.

Translation: "Most importantly, this hope is great." Or "Most importantly, this hope is very big." We'll keep: "Most importantly, this hope is great."

All that's needed is to further consolidate; then, relying on one's deep accumulation, one can achieve promotion in one fell swoop.

Translation: "He only needs to consolidate further, and with his solid accumulation he can succeed in one leap to promotion." Let's render: "He only needs to consolidate further, and with his solid accumulation he can succeed in one leap to promotion." Keep meaning.

"Thank you, Sage."

Translation: "\"Thank you, Saint. \"" Keep quotes.

Mei Diqi Sage gave an extremely solemn salute to Luo Te Si Nuo.

Translation: "Mei Diqi Sage solemnly bowed to Luo Te Si Nuo." Actually extremely solemnly. So "Mei Diqi Sage gave an extremely solemn salute to Luo Te Si Nuo." We'll do: "Mei Diqi Sage gave an extremely solemn salute to Luo Te Si Nuo."

Upon standing up, his demeanor had completely changed.

Translation: "Upon rising, his bearing had completely changed." We'll do: "Upon rising, his bearing had completely changed."

If the former Mei Diqi Sage gave the impression of a towering, massive mountain, then now, while still towering and massive, he has shed much of his gloom and radiates far more vigor.

Translation: "If the former Mei Diqi Sage gave the impression of a towering, heavy mountain, now the towering heaviness remains but with much less gloom, exuding far more vibrant vitality." We'll keep.

The five members of Mei Diqi Sage's team include a fourth-level sage and a fifth-level sage; although their gains are not as great as Mei Diqi Sage's, seeing his transformation has also moved them.

Translation: "Among the five members of Mei Diqi Sage's team, there were Fourth-level Sages and Fifth-level Sages; although their gains were not as great as Mei Diqi Sage's, seeing his change also moved them." We'll do: "Among the five members of Mei Diqi Sage's team, there were Fourth-level Sages and Fifth-level Sages; although their gains were not as great as Mei Diqi Sage's, seeing his change also moved them."

Luo Te Si Nuo then said: "As long as you few don't get overambitious or make mistakes, and follow him, you will have a bright future."

Translation: "Luo Te Si Nuo then said: \"As long as you few don't be overly ambitious and make mistakes, following him will bring you a good future. \"" We'll keep.

Based on Luo Te Si Nuo's identity as a reincarnated mystic-system sage, this statement can be seen entirely as a prophecy to the five team members.

Translation: "Based on his identity as a reincarnated Saint of the Mystical System, his words can be seen entirely as a prophecy from Luo Te Si Nuo to the five members." We'll do: "Based on his identity as a reincarnated Saint of the Mystical System, his words can be seen entirely as a prophecy from Luo Te Si Nuo to the five members."

The five members, hearing this, were all delighted and in unison said: "Thank you, Sage."

Translation: "The five members, upon hearing this, were all delighted and said in unison: \"Thank you, Saint. \"" We'll do.

Linke, watching Luo Te Si Nuo's brief exchange from the side, smoothed over his earlier unwarranted resentment without a word or judgment. Luo Te Si Nuo made amends, walked back to Linke's side, blinked, and with a smiling tone said: "You guess."

Translation: "Lin Ke, watching Luo Te Si Nuo's few words from the side, smoothed over his earlier unwarranted anger without a word or comment. Luo Te Si Nuo made amends, walked back to Lin Ke's side, blinked, and said with a smiling tone: \"You guess. \"" We'll keep.

Hearing that, Linke couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Translation: "Hearing that, Lin Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes." We'll do.

So you didn't answer right away, first settling your own unwarranted resentment—were you thinking of being a bit playful?

Translation: "So you didn't answer right away, first settling your unwarranted anger, just thinking how to be a bit playful?" We'll do.

Is that interesting?

Translation: "Interesting?" We'll do.

Thinking this, Linke lifted his leg and continued walking toward the port.

Translation: "Thinking thus, Lin Ke lifted his leg and continued walking toward the port." We'll do.

This time, Luo Te Si Nuo neither hindered Linke nor nagged, but simply walked out together with him.

Translation: "This time Luo Te Si Nuo neither hindered Lin Ke nor nagged, but walked out together with him." We'll do.

Mei Diqi Sage hurriedly led his team to keep up.

Translation: "Mei Diqi Sage hurriedly led his team to keep up." We'll do.

The group moved quickly.

Translation: "The group moved quickly." We'll do.

With Mei Diqi Sage, an internal member of the Supreme Council, and Luo Te Si Nuo, the reincarnated sage, they arrived smoothly at the previously docked "wharf".

Translation: "With Mei Diqi Sage, an internal member of the Supreme Council, and Luo Te Si Nuo, the reincarnated Saint, they arrived smoothly at the previously docked \"wharf\"." We'll do.

From afar, Linke noticed that the docked star‑skiff had been switched from Mei Diqi Sage's to Luo Te Si Nuo's.

Translation: "From afar, Lin Ke saw that the docked Star Void Flying Vessel had switched from Mei Diqi Sage's to Luo Te Si Nuo's." We'll do.

Namely, the highest‑grade star‑skiff of the Immortal‑God civilization's foreign‑trade edition.

Translation: "Namely, the highest-tier Star Void Flying Vessel of the Immortal God Civilization's foreign trade edition." We'll do.

Linke's heart suddenly felt a vague sensation.

Translation: "Lin Ke's heart suddenly gave rise to a somewhat hazy feeling." We'll do.

It seemed as if someone were hindering his "inspiration", but not fully—just letting him off easy.

Translation: "It seemed as if someone was obstructing his \"inspiration, \" but not fully, deliberately letting up." We'll do.

Only Luo Te Si Nuo, whose temperament grows ever stranger and whose actions are increasingly unpredictable, could do such a thing nearby.

Translation: "Only Luo Te Si Nuo, whose temperament grows ever stranger and whose actions become ever more unexpected, could do such a thing nearby." We'll do.

Combined with Luo Te Si Nuo's earlier remark, "I hope you'll still be able to say that so candidly a moment from now," Linke's feeling became instantly much clearer.

Translation: "Combined with Luo Te Si Nuo's earlier remark, \"Hope you can still say this so candidly later, \" Lin Ke's feeling immediately became much clearer." We'll do.

Taking a deep breath, Linke no longer restrained himself, quickly stepped up the gangway, and entered the star‑skiff.

Translation: "Taking a deep breath, Lin Ke no longer restrained himself, quickly boarded the gangway, and entered the Star Void Flying Vessel." We'll do.

"Linke!"

Translation: "\"Lin Ke! \"" We'll do.

Just upon entering the star‑skiff, Jasmine, who had been apart for nearly two months, flung herself into Linke's embrace and clung tightly.

Translation: "Just as he entered the Star Void Flying Vessel, Mo Li, who had been apart for nearly two months, flung herself into Lin Ke's embrace, clinging tightly." We'll do.

"Jasmine!"

Translation: "\"Mo Li! \"" We'll do.

Linke then responded to Jasmine's flying tackle with an extremely strong reaction.

Translation: "Lin Ke then gave an extremely strong response to Mo Li's flying tackle." We'll do.

After a tight embrace, Jasmine lifted her head from Linke's shoulder, tipped onto her toes, and kissed him.

Translation: "After holding each other tightly for a moment, Mo Li lifted her head from Lin Ke's shoulder, tiptoed, and kissed him." We'll do.

"Wa‑ah‑oh…"

Translation: "\"Wah-ah-oh... \"" We'll do.

Right after Luo Te Si Nuo entered the star‑skiff, he let out a strange cry, raised his right hand to cover his eyes, as if unable to bear looking.

Translation: "Right after entering the Star Void Flying Vessel, Luo Te Si Nuo let out a strange cry, raised his right hand to cover his eyes, as if unable to bear watching." We'll do.

But his five fingers were spread wide, covering nothing but loneliness.

Translation: "But his five fingers were spread wide, covering nothing but loneliness." We'll do.

For some reason, Mei Diqi Sage boarded the star‑skiff, while his team remained at the spaceport.

Translation: "For some reason, Mei Diqi Sage boarded the Star Void Flying Vessel, while his members remained on the Space Port." We'll do.

And after Luo Te Si Nuo's strange cry, the star‑skiff automatically sealed its hatch, detached from the "wharf", and began sailing.

Translation: "And after Luo Te Si Nuo's strange cry, the Star Void Flying Vessel automatically sealed its hatch, automatically departed from the \"wharf, \" and began sailing." We'll do.

Linke and Jasmine kissed for a long time before finally parting.

Translation: "Lin Ke and Mo Li embraced and kissed for a long time before finally parting." We'll do.

After fixing her hair and clothes, Jasmine stood beside Linke as if nothing had happened, tightly gripping his arm, unwilling to let go.

Translation: "After tidying her hair and clothes, Mo Li stood beside Lin Ke as if nothing had happened, tightly gripping his arm, unwilling to separate." We'll do.

Even though she could stand strongly behind Linke and endure separation, since they are together, why must she be so strong?

Translation: "Although she could stand strongly behind Lin Ke, enduring separation, since they are reunited, why must she be so strong?" We'll do.

Jasmine never cares about others' opinions; when she's with Linke, she clings as much as she possibly can.

Translation: "Mo Li never cares about others' opinions; when beside Lin Ke, she is as clingy as possible." We'll do.

"Your relationship is truly wonderful."

Translation: "\"Your relationship is truly good. \"" We'll do.

Luo Te Si Nuo gave a word of praise, then quickly shifted the topic: "Hey big brother, do you still remember me saying I have two things to do for the will of the wizard world?"

Translation: "Luo Te Si Nuo praised with a sentence, then abruptly shifted: \"Cheap big brother, do you remember me saying I would do two things for the will of the Wizard World? \"\" We'll do.

"I remember."

Translation: "\"Remembered. \"" We'll do.

Linke broke free from the joy of reunion, calmly replied: "Find the stars, find a beam of light."

Translation: "Lin Ke detached himself from the joy of reunion and calmly replied, \"Find the stars, find a beam of light. \"" We'll do.

"I have found the stars."

Translation: "\"I have found the stars. \"" We'll do.

Luo Te Si Nuo produced a pitch‑black stone from somewhere, tossed it in his palm, then his tone turned regretful: "Unfortunately, I couldn't find that beam of light."

Translation: "Luo Te Si Nuo somehow produced a pitch-black stone, tossed it in his palm, then his tone turned regretful: \"Unfortunately, I couldn't find that beam of light. \"" We'll do.

Saying this, Luo Te Si Nuo glanced sideways at Linke: "I always thought that following you would let me find that beam of light. Who knew, in the wizard world's will, that beam of light actually represents you? Ah, as the Immortal‑God civilization says, this is a case of 'darkness under the lamp'."

Translation: "Saying this, Luo Te Si Nuo glanced sideways at Lin Ke: \"I always thought that by following you I could find that beam of light. Who knew that, in the will of the Wizard World, that beam of light represents you? Alas, according to the Immortal God Civilization, this is 'darkness under the lamp.'\"\" We'll do.

After complaining, Luo Te Si Nuo continued with the main point: "The wizard world's will has given me a new task—to guide and accompany you on the road to facing your 'predetermined fate.' The guidance stage is now complete, so we must enter the companionship stage. Therefore…"

Translation: "After complaining, Luo Te Si Nuo continued with the main matter: \"The will of the Wizard World has given me a new task—to guide and accompany you on the path to confronting the 'predetermined fate'; the guidance stage is now considered complete, so we must enter the companionship stage. Therefore... \"\" We'll do.

Having said that, Luo Te Si Nuo fell silent.

Translation: "Having said that, Luo Te Si Nuo fell silent." We'll do.

Many truths aren't truly understood just by hearing others or reading books; one must comprehend them personally.

Translation: "Many truths are not truly understood just by hearing others or reading books; one must comprehend them oneself." We'll do.

Only when you yourself grasp it do you truly understand, and then you can put that principle into practice.

Translation: "Only by comprehending it oneself does one truly understand and can put that truth into practice." We'll do.

If Linke hasn't truly grasped what "predetermined fate" means and how to face it, then no matter how much Luo Te Si Nuo says, it's all for naught.

Translation: "If Lin Ke has not truly grasped what \"predetermined fate\" is and how to face it, no matter how much Luo Te Si Nuo says, it will be in vain." We'll do.

So, has Linke truly understood it?

Translation: "Then, has Lin Ke truly comprehended it?" We'll do.

Linke believes he has understood it.

Translation: "Lin Ke considers himself to have comprehended it." We'll do.

Thus Linke asked: "At which stage did the wizard civilization's expansion of this universe get stuck?"

Translation: "Thus Lin Ke asked: \"At which stage did the Wizard Civilization's expansion of this universe get stuck? \"\" We'll do.

"Ha!"

Translation: "\"Ha! \"" We'll do.

Luo Te Si Nuo clapped and laughed loudly, "I knew you really understood."

Translation: "Luo Te Si Nuo clapped and laughed loudly: \"I knew you really understood. \"" We'll do.

Linke's predetermined fate is completely different from that of Michel the Celestial Venerable; it is a framework, not a restraint.

Translation: "Lin Ke's predetermined fate is completely different from Michel Celestial Venerable's; it is a framing, not a binding." We'll do.

What frames Lin Ke's fate is not the "I" spoken by Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, but the will of the wizard world that intervened in the layout of that "I" spoken by Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke.

According to Luo Te Si Nuo, the bond between Lin Ke and the will of the wizard world comes precisely from this.

Lin Ke's self‑believed years of seclusion were not a cold‑storage measure taken by the High Council due to a remark from the Void‑Still Heavenly Master and the Heavenly Master's Office's special regard for him.

Fundamentally, at that time Lin Ke had many things he hadn't figured out, many things weighing on his mind; he had not achieved clarity of mind and nature, nor the determination and will to confront the 'predestined fate' head‑on.

An unprepared soldier thrust onto the battlefield is most likely to meet death.

Therefore, the Divine‑God civilization's Heavenly Master's Office and the Celestial Court never intended to suppress Lin Ke; on the contrary, the High Council, acting under the guidance of the wizard world's will and the Five Sages, put Lin Ke on ice for several years.

Only when Lin Ke gained a certain awakening, let go of some defenses and worries, and stepped onto the parallel universe.

Only then did the High Council begin to promote further stimulation of Lin Ke.

If it weren't for this raid by the Tower of the Great Sage Mi Xie Er on the advance team of the Rui Wo Suo Si Academy, and if it weren't for the heavy casualties of the advance team, the Four‑House United Legion, and the Ge Lan De Sage Legion.

Lin Ke still needs a long time to achieve clarity of mind and nature.

However, neither the Divine‑God civilization nor the Wizard civilization actually has much time left to wait for Lin Ke to mature naturally.

Luo Te Si Nuo is pleased about this point—whether natural or not, Lin Ke has truly matured.

After laughing, Luo Te Si Nuo snapped his fingers.

A three‑dimensional star map instantly appeared before the four of them.

"Here."

Luo Te Si Nuo pointed, and a star‑map of a star system consisting of three stars, twelve planets, and many other celestial bodies was enlarged: "The wizard civilization wishes to expand further, the Divine‑God civilization wishes to defeat the demon civilization—both must conquer this special star system."

"So, I must go conquer this special star system?"

Lin Ke frowned and asked, "Or rather, should I help the two civilizations conquer this special star system?"

"No."

Luo Te Si Nuo solemnly shook his head and solemnly corrected Lin Ke's statement: "To you, this is not a special star system, but rather……"

"A new world!"
