Chapter 284 Human Emperor and the Investiture of the Gods!

The sea area seemed endless. Even at Qing Long's speed, they wandered for a long time without seeing any boundaries.

However, the water in the sea area was pure.

And devoid of any living creatures.

"This is definitely a sea of souls, and a dead sea... Its state is like a person who is still alive but has fallen into a permanent coma, a vegetable as the saying goes!"

Lin Chen was now finally certain that the so-called Mitiangong (Palace of Lost Heavens) was actually the body of a great master.

Tens of thousands of feet tall.

Hundreds of acres in size.

So… the Xuantian Sha (Profound Heaven Sand) that Lin Chen collected earlier was actually the substance from this powerful expert's tear glands?

And the Holy Spring…

That thing should be called: snot!

Xuantian Jinjing (Profound Heaven Golden Crystal) and Xuanhuo Jingye (Profound Fire Crystal Liquid) were probably bile, and the other might really be something like tuberculosis!

It was quite disgusting to think about.

But then he thought again, this was something from the body of a strong expert who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor!

Having cultivated to that level, indeed, the whole body was a treasure!

No wonder this Mitiangong (Palace of Lost Heavens) could be opened once a year…

And that terrifying existence seemed to have its soul locked in a certain part of its body, unable to leave, so its resentment towards the Heavenly Emperor was so deep.

After all, no matter who it was, could you be happy if someone transformed your body into a treasure house and then allowed gods and demons to come in and snatch the things inside your body?

"So, how should I get out now?"

Lin Chen came to the sky above the sea of souls.

Everywhere was a deathly silence.

The sea of souls of a powerful expert!

"Can I try ‘One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate’?"

Lin Chen tried to find the location of the Heavenly Gate of this sea of souls… that is, the forehead of this powerful expert.

But he couldn't find it at all!

"Right, could the place where I came in be the direction of the forehead?"

Lin Chen could only open his mind now.

Make the brainhole bigger!

Then, dare to try.

He couldn't just sit and wait for death, could he?

"Time passes like this, never ceasing day and night!"

The Saint Form was activated.

In Lin Chen's hand, the Shenmo (God-Devil)·Taigu Tiandao (Primordial Heavenly Dao) transformed into the form of a sword.

Then, sword energy gathered on his body, and a majestic sword intent directly rushed towards the direction he was previously in…

"One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, open for me!"

Lin Chen roared.

Rumble!

The giant sword took shape and directly slashed towards the Heavenly Gate.

"Zhou Shen!"

A voice sounded.

Lin Chen was shocked…

Immediately, He Guang Tong Chen (Blending Light with Dust), escape!

However, Lin Chen found that he had a false alarm… because the voice did appear, but unlike the sound wave attack encountered in the inner Tiangong (Heavenly Palace), this voice did not have any offensive power.

And a ray of light appeared where Lin Chen's sword energy slashed…

"Did it succeed?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed.

"Zhou Shen, isn't this what you want? I can give it to you, but let me go!"

The voice sounded again.

Zhou Shen?

Lin Chen was stunned.

Then, what did he see?

A white-haired, old and frail phantom appeared on the sea of souls.

At this time, the five seconds of Lin Chen's invisibility was also up.

He couldn't hide anymore.

So…

Lin Chen could only show himself, and under the gaze of that phantom, Lin Chen slowly said, "Senior, this junior is Lin Chen, not the Zhou Shen (Cosmic God) you mentioned, and I accidentally entered this place. Please, senior… let this junior out."

"You're talking nonsense! Who else can enter this place besides Zhou Shen?"

The white-haired phantom angrily grabbed Lin Chen and shouted, "You are clearly Zhou Shen… You, why do you need to come and humiliate me like this?"

"Senior…"

At this moment, Lin Chen felt like a little chicken waiting to be slaughtered…

He couldn't resist at all!

His mind was racing…

Why was this phantom so sure that he was the Heavenly Emperor?

It shouldn't be!

Would the Heavenly Emperor be so weak?

It felt like this phantom could only see a blurry image of himself, and couldn't actually see clearly, and his mind was full of only Zhou Shen (Cosmic God) and the Heavenly Emperor… It felt like he was an idiot!

That's right!

The passage from the outer Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) to the inner Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) could generally only be passed by gods.

Ordinary spirits below the Fourth Transition would suffer great damage, and there would also be more than 10,000 damage points per second.

For ordinary spirits, it was completely unbearable!

However, the place where Lin Chen was now could only be reached by ordinary spirits… which was equivalent to two dead ends.

Ordinary spirits could not go down to the inner Tiangong (Heavenly Palace), and the gods who could go down to the inner Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) could not come up to this sea of dead souls.

So who else could come?

It must be a transcendent existence!

So, who in the entire universe was transcendent now?

The Heavenly Emperor, Zhou Shen (Cosmic God)!

No wonder this phantom was so sure that he was Zhou Shen (Cosmic God)!

If Lin Chen's deduction was correct, then it was equivalent to saying… that this phantom expert in front of him was actually an Alzheimer's patient?

That was normal.

If a person's body was transformed into a treasure ruin, and their soul was also imprisoned, then…

Would he go crazy?

Definitely!

Then, what if hundreds or even thousands of years had passed?

Would he become senile?

Probably would!

"Calm down, he's just an old man with Alzheimer's, see if you can fool him…"

Lin Chen thought in his heart.

At this time, the phantom grabbed Lin Chen and once again let out an angry sound, "Zhou Shen, you still refuse to let me go, don't you? Don't forget, it was you and I who joined hands to completely suppress the Human Emperor Xuanyuan! If it weren't for me suppressing him and seizing the Human Investiture of the Gods, could the humans become your prey?"

What?

What did Lin Chen hear?

A big secret!

So humans once had an Emperor?

No wonder…

Lin Chen had been puzzled all along.

Why did humans begin to appear in the Primordial Era, begin to live together and develop in the Ancient Era, and even integrate with all races? By the Upper Ancient Era, they were already the most prosperous race in the universe, but they didn't even have a single god… This was obviously unscientific!

During the most prosperous period of the human race, with the size of the human race, could they not have faith in a powerful god?

Obviously, this was possible!

But where were the human gods?

Why had none been seen to this day?

Even now that the human race was about to be completely exterminated, with only the Dragon Spirit Kingdom and hundreds of thousands of Blue Star people left, no human gods had been seen standing up…

So the culprit for all of this, this powerful expert in front of him was also one of them!

Lin Chen didn't hesitate any longer, he loudly shouted, "Are you still stubborn? This seat came to see you as an ordinary spirit, hoping that you can return from your lost path. From this, it seems that you must be imprisoned for at least a thousand years!"

"No, I won't!"

The phantom old man roared upon hearing this, "Zhou Shen, you can't treat me like this, ah!"

As expected, Lin Chen was right…

This was just a lunatic with Alzheimer's!

Just one sentence completely broke his defenses!

Going out to attend a dinner, still three chapters short, I won't take a leave of absence, I'll see if I can rush back to update tonight.
