Chapter 23: Befriend Him and Win His Favor (Please Subscribe)



Inside the hall, the young man in a black robe felt a deep sense of terror.

"I cannot oppose him! Absolutely cannot oppose him!"

The black-robed youth stared at the man conversing with Wanqu Dominator.

Only this thought occupied his mind.

As a wondrous lifeform born from the Chaos Void, the black-robed youth had time bloodline flowing through his veins.

Though exceedingly faint, it granted him the rare ability of 'premonition.'

For instance, not long ago, the black-robed youth had foreseen disaster descending upon Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

He immediately informed Ancient Ming Venerable, who eventually discovered that the patch of Void was about to become a battlefield for two Great Saints.

If not for the black-robed youth's premonition and subsequent investigation,

Ancient Ming Chaos Continent would likely not have escaped the collateral damage of the Great Saints' battle, suffering catastrophic losses.

The black-robed youth's 'premonition' ability stemmed from his time bloodline, tied to the timeline, and the crises he sensed often originated from the future.

Of course, the black-robed youth could only perceive danger.

As for how the danger would manifest?

Or any further details, he remained unclear.

The time bloodline within him was far too faint.

If he were one of those lifeforms with an immensely dense time bloodline, perhaps they could glimpse blurred visions of future events and pinpoint the source of the crisis.

In contrast, a true thirteenth-level time lifeform could use themselves as an anchor point,

and observe with unparalleled clarity many future timelines related to them.

"This man feels far more dangerous than the Shadow Demon Great Saint or Nine Phoenix Great Saint—how is that possible?"

The black-robed youth struggled to believe it.

When he first sensed the aftermath of the two Great Saints' battle, the black-robed youth had only foreseen severe injuries for himself. At worst, this physical form would perish.

But true death was unlikely—he had many life-saving measures set up in remote, hidden locations.

Not only would the collateral damage from the Chaos Great Saints fail to kill him outright, even confronting a Chaos Great Saint directly would probably not result in permanent death.

Yet when it came to Lin Yuan, the black-robed youth faintly foresaw himself facing complete annihilation. If he opposed Lin Yuan, eternal darkness awaited him; his true body, avatars, and all life-saving measures would be powerless to prevent it.

"Too horrifying."

"Utterly terrifying."

The black-robed youth's heart trembled. This feeling of complete annihilation—he had only experienced it a handful of times since his birth.

And those were in the depths of absolute danger zones like the Taiyuan Ruins, where he had vaguely sensed it. But Lin Yuan? Just a single incarnation, how could it bring him such despair?

"What is going on?"

The black-robed youth steadied himself, scrutinizing Lin Yuan carefully, confirming that the other's aura was only at the peak of Path Splitting Realm.

Such a level of strength—he could obliterate countless beings with a single yawn—why would it give him this 'premonition'?

"As long as I don't oppose him, I can live. If I oppose him, death is certain?"

The black-robed youth repeatedly tested his 'premonition' ability against Lin Yuan, ultimately arriving at this conclusion.

"No, I must inform Ancient Ming. A dangerous entity of this magnitude has emerged on Chaos Continent..." The black-robed youth's figure vanished, heading toward the depths of Chaos Continent.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have clashed with Lin Yuan, so he wouldn't have sensed any crisis.

But as the black-robed youth's gaze fell upon Lin Yuan, his premonition ability activated, and countless future possibilities surged into his mind, including the repercussions of opposing Lin Yuan.

The black-robed youth often used this ability to assess the strength of opponents, but he hadn't expected to foresee such possibilities when confronting Lin Yuan.

Deep within Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

"Finally safe."

Ancient Ming Venerable breathed a slight sigh of relief. Ancient Ming Chaos Continent had stopped moving, signaling the cessation of its consumption from tearing through space.

Ancient Ming Chaos Continent was tens of times the size of a normal universe, and such a colossus in motion consumed Chaos Stones at an astronomical rate every moment.

If this continued, even Ancient Ming Venerable would begin to feel the sting of the loss.

Just as Ancient Ming Venerable planned to resume his closed-door cultivation.

"Ancient Ming, Ancient Ming." The black-robed youth's voice echoed, as he appeared nearby.

"Hmm?" Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable looked at the black-robed youth, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.

In ordinary times, the black-robed youth was usually asleep, rarely seeking him out.

Unless something major had occurred, like the premonition of the two Great Saints battling not long ago.

"What happened?" Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable asked immediately.

"Something major. I just sensed a fatal danger." The black-robed youth said right away.

"Fatal danger?" Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable's heart skipped a beat.

Fatal danger? What did he mean by fatal danger?

A threat where resistance or evasion was futile, and neither true body nor avatars nor life-saving measures could prevent disaster—that was fatal danger?

After painstaking effort to carry Ancient Ming Chaos Continent here, was he now faced with fatal danger upon arrival?

"Actually, it's not the kind of danger you're thinking of." Noticing Ancient Ming's reaction, the black-robed youth quickly explained, recounting in detail the dangers he had premonitions about regarding Lin Yuan.

"Ancient Ming, it's him."

In front of the black-robed youth appeared a shadowy projection—a scene of Lin Yuan and Wanqu Dominator conversing.

"You sensed fatal danger from him, and if you oppose him, death is inevitable?"

Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable examined the scene closely. As the ruler of Chaos Continent, nothing within the territory could escape his notice.

"A Path Splitting Realm peak incarnation?"

Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable looked doubtful. He had recognized Lin Yuan's incarnation's strength immediately.

"Ancient Ming, is this person's true body also a Great Saint?" The black-robed youth asked beside him.

While his combat strength was near that of a Venerable, he was ultimately not of that rank, so he couldn't discern Lin Yuan's true body's actual realm.

"No."

"He doesn't give me any sense of oppression."

Ancient Ming Venerable shook his head. If his true body were a Chaos Great Saint, even an incarnation's essence would synchronize to a level beyond the Path Splitting Realm peak.

"Not?"

The black-robed youth had already guessed as much.

Lin Yuan's conversation with Wanqu Dominator revolved around purchasing 'fragmented worlds' from Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

If Lin Yuan's true body was a Chaos Great Saint, why would he need to purchase 'fragmented worlds'? A Chaos Great Saint could easily create a Chaos Continent with a mere gesture.

"If he's not a Chaos Great Saint, why does he give me such fatal danger?"

Perplexed, the black-robed youth couldn't make sense of it.

"The danger you 'premonitioned' originates from the future."

Ancient Ming Venerable suddenly spoke, his tone thoughtful.

"You mean, this person will eventually ascend to Chaos Great Saint?" The black-robed youth took a deep breath.

Even among Chaos Venerables, successfully stepping into the Great Saint's domain was exceedingly rare. The black-robed youth had sensed almost no potential for Ancient Ming Venerable to ascend to the stature of a Great Saint.

But Lin Yuan?

The overwhelming impression of fatal danger implied an extremely high—or even inevitable—probability of Lin Yuan becoming a Great Saint.

A lifeform in the Dominator Realm destined to ascend to Great Saint—how could that be?

Even those who were painstakingly nurtured by Great Saints wouldn't dare claim they were bound to ascend to such a level!

"That must be the case."

Ancient Ming Venerable reined in his thoughts, speaking clearly.

In truth, he withheld one thought—the fact that Lin Yuan, upon eventually stepping into the Great Saint domain, would certainly not be an ordinary Great Saint.

If it were merely an average Great Saint, they wouldn't have instilled such intense fatal danger into the black-robed youth.

"What should we do now?"

The black-robed youth pondered for a moment and asked.

"What to do?"

Ancient Ming Venerable glanced at the black-robed youth. "We must try to win his favor by all means."

...

Inside the hall.

Lin Yuan and Wanqu Dominator sat opposite each other.

"The 'fragmented worlds' that match Galaxy's requirements are all here. Feel free to choose." Wanqu Dominator smiled warmly at Lin Yuan.

Floating before him were dozens of miniature 'fragmented worlds,' formed from the immense asteroid just shattered by the black-robed youth.

"They're all suitable."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the fragmented worlds.

His main requirements for the 'fragmented worlds' were twofold: First, the fragments themselves should have minimal radiation, as they were to serve as the new home for human civilization. Many weaker members of humanity could not withstand the radiation leaks from Chaos Void.

Second, the area shouldn't be too small. The population of human civilization was vast, and Lin Yuan planned to bring all of humanity out.

"This 'fragmented world'?"

Lin Yuan focused on one of the fragments.

This fragmented world was enormous, roughly equivalent to one-thousandth the size of the Main Universe's starry expanse.

Plenty of space to accommodate all of human civilization's citizens. Additionally, this fragmented world was composed of Star Tear Stone.

Star Tear Stone was highly valuable. Though it emitted radiation, the radiation generated here was beneficial, promoting the growth and evolution of life.

"How much Chaos Stone for this 'fragmented world'?" Lin Yuan asked.

Among the dozens of fragmented worlds presented, this one seemed the most suitable as a new home for humanity.

Lin Yuan surmised the price wouldn't be cheap.

But how much exactly, he needed to find out.

"This fragmented world is entirely composed of Star Tear Stone. Just the Star Tear Stone alone is worth eighty thousand Chaos Stone. The entire fragmented world comes to one hundred and twenty thousand Chaos Stone."

Wanqu Dominator said.

The price was reasonable, without a hint of inflation.

Star Tear Stone was a rare mineral, and such a large piece would start at eighty thousand Chaos Stone.

"One hundred and twenty thousand Chaos Stone?" Lin Yuan frowned. "Forget it. Too expensive."

Even if he sold off the Chaos Realm treasure left by Cang Weiyang, it wouldn't fetch one hundred and twenty thousand Chaos Stone. The total wealth accumulated by human civilization was less than twenty thousand Chaos Stone.

This figure included the sum of human civilization's unified resources—asteroids, secret realms, and more.

Lin Yuan's budget was between ten thousand and fifteen thousand Chaos Stone.

One hundred and twenty thousand Chaos Stone? That was far too much.

"Quite pricey, indeed."

Wanqu Dominator nodded. The value of this fragmented world was fixed, and there wasn't much room for negotiation.

"Galaxy brother, let me show you these other fragmented worlds..."

Wanqu Dominator promptly began introducing Lin Yuan to alternative options.

Suddenly.

At that moment.

A voice reached Wanqu Dominator's ear.

"That Star Tear Stone fragmented world… give it to him!"
