âOf course Iâm not wrong. And I wouldnât make irresponsible remarks without proof,â said the Godly Leader with a sure nod. He looked firm and certain. He had never been wrong in his life. The Godly Leader looked so certain that he convinced Lin Feng. It was just that Lin Feng didnât want to believe him. He wanted to trust Mister Time. Besides, Mister Time was, at most, as strong as him. When Lin Feng had left the Continent of the Nine Clouds, Mister Time was as strong as he was. He couldnât possibly pose a threat to the Continent of the Nine Clouds, not much time had passed. When the Godly Leader saw that Lin Feng looked puzzled and unhappy, he didnât mind. To Lin Feng, Mister Time was a friend, not an enemy. Now the Godly Leader was telling Lin Feng Mister Time wasnât a good person, Lin Fengâs reaction was perfectly normal. He had to tell Lin Feng the truth though, mainly because he had chosen him as his heir. âI know you donât want to believe that Mister Time has secrets. I wonât annoy you with those stories, but I just want to tell you, I know some things. I experienced some things,â said the Godly Leader, clasping his hands behind his back. He spoke in a low voice and looked vigilant as he talked. He looked certain of what he was saying. Why did Mister Time mainly live in Ganges Time? Why had he recruited Lin Fengâs two sons as disciples? Why had he come out of Ganges Time? Lin Feng thought about those things. In the past, he had not asked himself anything about Mister Time, therefore, he hadnât wondered too much about Mister Timeâs life. âLin Feng, you probably know that little Ox and I spent time with Mister Time in Ganges Time,â explained the Godly Leader. Lin Feng nodded. He also wondered how the old ox was already a Peerless Holy Emperor. Why wasnât Mister Time just as strong, even though he had taught him? Mister Timeâs strength couldnât be that simple. Could it be thatâŠ? Lin Feng was thoughtful as he frowned. âSo Mister Time hid his real strength?â âLin Feng, youâre right. Mister Time isnât that simple, but back then he taught Demon King Ox and me because of a lucky coincidence. We had gotten lost in Ganges Time and Mister Time taught us. Our space and time Dao improved, and we managed to leave Ganges Time safely. âBack then, we had gone there using clones. If we had used our real bodies, maybe we wouldnât have needed his teachings, but it also proved how strong he was. He was already a Low-Level Holy Emperor. Imagine now? Tens of thousands of years passed. Can you imagine how strong he is now?â asked the Godly Leader.
Lin Feng grew nervous. According to the Godly Leader, Mister Time was indeed terrifyingly strong, many years had passed and he should have become an incredible god. âMaster, if what youâre saying is the truth, why does Mister Time need to become as strong as me, and why does he want to spend time in the Continent of the Gods?â asked Lin Feng. The Godly Leader shook his head, âYouâre too naive. If he hadnât seemed so simple and friendly, would you have trusted him? Heâs the one who told you there were other worlds, heâs the one who guided you to come here, would you have come here without him?â âWhat is his purpose for bringing us to the Continent of the Gods?â asked Lin Feng. The Godly Leader shook his head and replied, âThatâs why Iâm worried. Why did Mister Time hope you guys would come to the Continent of the Gods?â âMaster, can Mister Time threaten the Continent of the Nine Clouds?â asked Lin Feng nervously. He hoped nothing happened to the Continent of the Nine Clouds. After all, Emperor Shi, Jing Xiao Yue, his grandchild, Tiantai, and many others were all there. He had friends and family members in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. General Liuâs grave was also in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. âIn the future, your relationship with Mister Time will influence the whole Continent of the Nine Clouds, because you are also Forbidden Person,â said the Godly Leader. âYou donât know what the most precious thing is in this world, right? He is a Forbidden Person. You are a Forbidden Person. Many things which are not necessary will happen. If Mister Time wants to reach the top alone, you will be the only one who can stop him!â âLin Feng, only you can stop him!â Lin Feng understood. He had a Forbidden Body, and so did Mister Time. Even if there were no tensions between them so far, it didnât mean it was always going to be like that. Reaching the top was something one did alone, not with someone. Therefore, if they wanted to reach the top, it would be alone. Sometimes, oneâs sworn enemy was the person most similar to them! Lin Feng suddenly had the impression he was lucky he had never been attacked by Mister Time. Maybe the latter didnât want to hurt him, or maybe he didnât think Lin Feng could possibly become a god. And Lin Feng was still becoming stronger, he would soon pose a threat to Mister Time. Thinking about that, Lin Feng thought it was normal. Sometimes one had to use other people as stepping stones. You eliminate them, or they eliminate you. If Lin Feng had to do that someday, he wouldnât hesitate. He wouldnât be merciful just because Mister Time had taken good care of his children. âYoung man, go and travel. Gather experience. You havenât become strong yet, so Mister Time wonât attack you. He doesnât want to fight against you either, because that world was a world of sufferingâŠâ said the Godly Leader meaningfully. Lin Feng raised his head and looked up at the starry sky. âI understand. I will do my best. I will not disappoint you, Master. I will honor the knowledge you have transmitted to me as your heir,â said Lin Fen, bowing hand over fist. Back then, if he hadnât become the godâs heir and obtained help from the bestial Saints in the Godly Grave, there were many problems he wouldnât have been able to solve. He was infinitely grateful. âYoung man, I heard you killed a new holy cultivator from the Spiritual Regionâs Holy Shrine, hehe! Not bad! But you have offended them now,â said the Godly Leader, smiling broadly in amusement. âIf I hadnât done things that way, it would have been bad for the honor and integrity of the Supranatural Regionâs Holy Shrine, right? And if anything had happened to me, the Supranatural Regionâs Holy Shrine would have been responsible,â Lin Feng laughed in reply. The Godly Leader chuckled along happily. âSage Xie, take Lin Feng away. He can live in your palace for the time being. Tomorrow, take him to the Holy Tower to have some fun. Teach him some things,â said the Godly Leader casually, but his tone of speed was funny. Sometimes, one didnât need to shout to express things. Song Zhuang reappeared in front of Lin Feng. Lin Feng hoped he could spend some more time with Song Zhuang. That way, he would have less pressure on his shoulders. âYes, sir!â said Song Zhuang cupping his fist. He turned around and laughed amused, âYoung man, you have balls. You dared practice cultivation in the Godly Leaderâs palace even though he was in front of you, and today everybody in all the Shrines will be talking about your achievements during the competition. Haha!â said Song Zhuang, laughing gleefully.
ââ Back in the Holy Shrine, many silhouettes flickered. Lin Feng knew some of them. âSage Huo, Sage Shui, Sage Tian Gang, Dhammapala Great Ape Emperor, Dhammapala Hu Mo, Dhammapala Demon King Ox, Dhammapala Yuan Kui, what do you think of Lin Feng?â
