Lin Zhan suddenly discovered that Yu Longyan had arranged tasks for everyone except himself. He spoke up and asked, "Ancestor, all the other ancestors have work to do. What are your plans?"
Yu Longyan affectionately patted Lin Zhan's head and said, "It's this old ancestor's time. For so many years, I haven't been able to break through this shackle. My soul can no longer withstand the erosion of time and will vanish into nothingness."
Lin Zhan immediately knelt down upon hearing this, "Ancestor, that's impossible! You're lying to me, right? You just woke up, how can this be?"
Yu Longyan still spoke with the same kindness, "Foolish child, what in heaven and earth can resist the erosion of time? Let alone a mere Human Emperor like myself, even the powerful Human Ancestors of the ancient times ultimately perished in the long river of time."
"Zhan'er, I've already prepared the spirit contracts for the Black Dragon Emperor and the Black Dragon King for you. After I perish, the eldest and the second will continue to protect the human race. With their protection, you'll be enough to grow into a Human Emperor." Su Dan Novel Network
"As for Ye Lao Er and Rommel, I believe you will defeat them. The human race will not fail, nor can it fail. You must slaughter the armies of the ten thousand races in large numbers, assist Human Emperor Da Yu in restoring the human race's fortune, and awaken the Human Emperors as soon as possible to protect the human race."
"I have no children, but I have a beloved who is still in slumber. When she awakens, I hope you will treat her with the respect one shows to family. All my remaining wealth, except for what will be used in times of human peril, will be left to you. The eldest will give it to you bit by bit."
After hearing Yu Longyan's words, Lin Zhan's heart grew completely cold. This old fellow had even mentioned his old flame. It seemed this was for real, especially since he had explained everything so clearly as if preparing for his final moments.
"Oh, and Zhan'er, please prepare some of your good wine for this old ancestor. I have some old friends I need to catch up with, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest easy."
Lin Zhan immediately contacted the system and redeemed the highest-grade millennium vintage wine. For a beginner Lord at level 10, ten jars of fine wine were redeemed. Lin Zhan directly redeemed a thousand jars of millennium vintage wine and handed them to Yu Longyan.
"Alright Zhan'er, the future of the human race rests on your shoulders. Human Emperor Da Yu will succeed me as the new administrator of the human race. If you need anything, go to him for contact." Yu Longyan finished speaking and then, with a carefree attitude, vanished into the void.
Lin Zhan watched Yu Longyan's retreating figure, tears streaming down his face. He knelt deeply and said, "Ancestor, travel well. This young one will shoulder the banner of the human race."
As Yu Longyan moved through the void, the brothers Black Dragon Emperor and Black Dragon King also appeared beside him.
"Yan, you're fooling this kid like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Even if you don't have a conscience, I can't bear to see the child so sad," the Black Dragon Emperor said to Yu Longyan.
"I'll give each of you a hundred jars of good wine. Does your conscience still hurt?" Yu Longyan shot them a glance.
The Black Dragon King also put on a pained expression and said, "I also can't bear to see this child so sad. I plan to tell Zhan'er."
"A hundred jars each. Does it still hurt?"
"It still hurts a little."
"Two hundred jars each. That's the most I can give. If you dare to feel pain again, I'll give you angina."
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Young people, how can they grow without experiencing the harshness of society? How can they deceive others without being deceived by the older generation? We're doing this for his own good," the Black Dragon King brothers declared.
Yu Longyan looked at the shameless dragons before him and said, "I think you two are also fools."
Lin Zhan's mind was still replaying Yu Longyan's words. He then asked the system in his mind, "System, are there any medicines that can help Ancestor Yan?"
The system looked bewildered and said, "What's wrong with that old coffin-dweller? Is he infertile?"
Lin Zhan was taken aback and said, "Didn't Ancestor Yan say his soul can no longer withstand the erosion of time and will vanish into nothingness? Do you have any spiritual medicine that can help him enhance his soul?"
The system looked at Lin Zhan as if he were an idiot and said, "Host, when did you get so stupid? Have you ever heard of a peak Emperor, a foundational existence of a clan, dying of old age? That old coffin-dweller, if you cultivate slowly, you might die before him. What vanishing nonsense is he talking about?"
This time, it was Lin Zhan's turn to be dumbfounded, "Damn it, this old scoundrel came to trick me into giving him wine. What the hell!"
"Damn it, it's a good thing I was crying like an idiot earlier and even knelt and kowtowed to him. Why didn't I just send this old guy on his way then?"
"Achoo! Achoo!" Yu Longyan sneezed twice in succession and muttered to himself, "Damn it, has this kid found out? But this old ancestor is doing it for his own good. I just wanted to put some pressure on him so he could grow faster."
The system continued, "You call this person an idiot and that person an idiot all day. Now you've been treated like an idiot. That deal you were studying this morning can't be made, and the pill to increase the lifespan of a quasi-king can't be obtained yet."
Lin Zhan looked grief-stricken and said, "I want it. What level? How much does it cost?"
"That's more like it. Don't worry about that old coffin-dweller for now. Life has to go on, and we still have to do business properly." The system began to push its products with a string of smooth talk.
"A clan's quasi-king can have their lifespan increased by 15 years, and their vitality restored by 20%. For a quasi-king, it's an increase of 20 years and vitality restored by 30%. One quasi-king-level core nucleus and one pill. What do you say?"
Lin Zhan nodded upon hearing the price. Ordinarily, this price wasn't expensive, and the human race had plenty of powerhouses, so there was no shortage of core nuclei. However, he still tried to haggle.
"System, 'thousands of mountains and rivers are always kind,' can I get some rebate?"
"'The Great Wall of China will never fall.' A rebate can be arranged. Three-tenths rebate according to regulations."
Lin Zhan scoffed, "You can stop it. Do you really think I'm an idiot just because that old coffin-dweller tricked me? Medicine is a highly profitable business. Seven-tenths rebate isn't too much, is it?"
"Do you think you're not stupid? Four-tenths at most. Even the most profitable industries don't offer this much."
"Alright, System, stop dawdling. I want a six-tenths rebate, but the volume of goods will be large, and no credit. Cash transaction, what do you think? If it's okay, we'll do it. If not, forget it. I'll go back to cuddle my wife and sleep." Lin Zhan directly issued his final ultimatum, no longer intending to haggle with the system bit by bit.
The system listened to Lin Zhan's words and calculated carefully. At a two-tenths purchase price, there was still a hundred percent profit. If the volume was large and he went back to his ancestor to stock up, he could get a discount. This deal could be done.
"Okay, I won't waste your time either. We're reasonable people. If we say we'll do it, we'll do it. But the quantity must be large."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "Isn't that settled? Give me 10 samples first, and I'll go talk to the buyer."
