Chapter 848: Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter.

The world gradually returned to calm.

The heavens and earth gradually returned to calm.

Lin Fan was so frightened that even his “eggs” ached a little. He had just used his divine sense to show off in front of the Five Supreme Beings, but he never expected to be discovered by the Water-Fire Emperor.

After reaching the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Rank, the Eternal God Position, Lin Fan increasingly felt that the Water-Fire Emperor was truly formidable.

Although he was only a (pseudo) Eternal God Position, his combat power had been steadily rising. Even when facing a Supreme Being, he now had the ability to engage in a direct confrontation. It was no longer like before, where he had to risk his life to have a chance at defeating a Supreme Being.

Lin Fan gazed into the void, silently motivating himself. It seemed he needed to work even harder. Now, apart from the will of the Ancient Saint World, the Water-Fire Emperor was his greatest enemy.

This woman was extremely ruthless. If she were to be released, his days of tragedy would surely follow.

However, he was not the type to wait for death. He had to resist. The Water-Fire Emperor wanted to toy with his body, but how could he give her that opportunity? He had to rise up and turn the tables.

How dare she call him her “forbidden fruit”? Wasn’t that an insult?

As soon as his strength increased just a little more, and once the Water-Fire Emperor emerged, he would definitely pin her down and make her understand what a real man was.

Having made this significant decision, Lin Fan was determined to move forward toward this goal.

“Have you attained the Eternal God Position?” the Female Emperor hurried over, her stunning face showing an urgent desire to know.

“I haven’t attained the Eternal Position. The Eternal Position shattered,” Lin Fan replied.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that no matter what, he was an extraordinary figure. Yet, he hadn’t even attained the Eternal Position, which was quite embarrassing.

However, the Water-Fire Emperor hadn’t attained the Eternal Position either, yet her strength surpassed all living beings. If a woman could have such power, how could he, who possessed a system, be inferior?

“Indeed,” the Female Emperor nodded upon hearing this. When she had advanced to the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Rank, the Eternal Position had appeared in the void, but she had been powerless to grasp it. She could only watch as the Eternal Position drifted further and further away.

This was the case for all the myriad races of the Ancient Saint World.

In the Female Emperor’s view, there must be a grand conspiracy behind this. Perhaps the Eternal Position was controlled by the will of the heavens.

If even one of the myriad races had a Supreme Being who had attained the Eternal Position, the Ancient Clan would have been annihilated long ago. How could they have lasted until now?

It was precisely because no one had attained the Eternal Position that the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Clan were so powerful.

“Why are you here?” Lin Fan asked the Female Emperor.

This woman had once tricked him terribly in the Profound Yellow World, so Lin Fan had sworn that once he reached the upper realm and found her, he would make her pay dearly.

But now that he saw her, Lin Fan couldn’t bring himself to act on that vow.

If he were to make her pay dearly and accidentally got her pregnant, he would probably have to take responsibility.

The Female Emperor noticed the strange look in Lin Fan’s eyes and immediately frowned, sensing something was off.

“This is Xuan’er’s homeland. The Ancient Clan’s monarchs attacked, and I killed them, which drew the attention of the Supreme Beings,” the Female Emperor explained.

“Oh, I see,” Lin Fan nodded. Then, noticing a figure not far away, he smiled.

“Xuan’er, why aren’t you greeting me? You used to call out so happily,” Lin Fan said meaningfully, looking at the little girl standing there with her head down, inwardly sneering.

“Xuan’er, do you know this great god?” Xuan’er’s companions asked in astonishment.

In their eyes, this great god was truly incredible. He had killed a Supreme Being of the Ancient Clan, and even another Supreme Being who had just arrived fled at the sight of him, not daring to act recklessly.

For these young people who had lived under the oppression of the Ancient Clan, this was truly awe-inspiring.

He was completely their idol.

Xuan’er slowly walked over, then raised her tear-streaked face. “Brother Lin, do you want to hit Xuan’er?”

Seeing Xuan’er like this, Lin Fan was momentarily at a loss for words. This girl had always been clever and mischievous since she was young.

But now, it seemed she had made quite a few new friends.

“What do you think?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.

The Female Emperor stood there awkwardly. She knew Lin Fan was referring to what had happened five years ago.

Five years ago, in the Female Emperor’s eyes, Lin Fan had been nothing more than an ant struggling on the brink of life and death. Who could have imagined that in just five years, he would grow to such heights? It was truly astonishing.

His talent, his abilities, his luck—it was all unparalleled.

“Emperor Lin, let’s return to the village first. We can talk things over slowly,” the Female Emperor suggested.

“Brother Lin, it’s been so many years since I last saw you. Xuan’er has missed you so much. Back then, Xuan’er didn’t want to agree, but… but…” Xuan’er quietly glanced at her master, making it clear that it wasn’t her fault—it was all her master’s doing.

The Female Emperor coughed lightly, feeling hurt that her disciple had betrayed her like this.

The fox tribe, having narrowly escaped death, naturally held Lin Fan in the highest regard. For the fox tribe, there was always a sense of reverence toward the strong.

When Xuan’er had been taken away by the Female Emperor, the fox tribe had felt that they had gained a powerful backer.

Now, seeing that this Human Emperor seemed to have a good relationship with Xuan’er, the fox tribe was even more excited.

With such a strong ally, the safety of the fox tribe was assured.

The fox tribe’s camp was underground, but it seemed to be maintained by a strange formation, making it appear as if they were above ground. Looking up, the blue sky and white clouds were still visible.

Inside a room.

“Brother Lin, don’t be angry. Xuan’er has missed you so much,” Xuan’er said sweetly. The little girl had somehow learned to act cute.

And her words had become sweeter too.

She used to call him “uncle,” but now she called him “brother.”

It seemed that he was growing younger.

“You little girl, you’ve become quite mischievous these days. Your words are as sweet as honey. Are these your friends?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.

Xuan’er smiled sweetly. “Yes, these are the friends I met while training outside.”

“Senior, I am Zhang Tao, from the Horned Tribe,” a young man about Xuan’er’s age said nervously.

“Senior, my name is Tian Yu, from the Winged Tribe,” a pretty girl said, her bright eyes filled with admiration. In Tian Yu’s heart, this great god was her idol.

Then, Xuan’er’s other companions introduced themselves one by one.

Lin Fan could see that although some of these companions might not have exceptional talent, they were all dedicated to resisting the Ancient Clan, unyielding and fearless.

If they were cowardly, they wouldn’t have followed Xuan’er here.

Since reaching the Tenth Heaven God King Level—the Eternal God Position—Lin Fan had increasingly felt the Water-Fire Emperor’s terrifying might.

Although he only possessed a (pseudo) Eternal God Position, his combat power had risen dramatically. Now, even facing a Supreme, he had the ability to fight head-on, unlike before when he had to risk his life just to have a chance of killing an opponent.

Lin Fan gazed up at the void, silently encouraging himself. It seemed he really needed to work hard now. His greatest enemies, aside from the Ancient Sage Realm’s cosmic will, were now the Water-Fire Emperor.

That woman was extremely ruthless. If she were to break free, his tragic days would surely return.

But he wasn’t the kind of person to sit around waiting for death—he had to resist. The Water-Fire Emperor wanted to manipulate his physical body? No way would he allow that. He had to rise up like peasants seizing power.

How dare she claim he was her exclusive possession? Wasn’t that an insult?

Once his strength improved just a little more, the moment the Water-Fire Emperor emerged, he would pin her beneath him and show her what a real man was all about.

Lin Fan made this important decision in his heart and resolved to move forward toward this goal.

“Have you attained the Eternal God Position?” the Female Emperor hurriedly arrived, her breathtaking beauty showing clear eagerness to know the answer.

“I haven’t attained the Eternal God Position—it shattered,” Lin Fan replied.

In his own view, he was already an incredibly powerful figure, yet he still hadn’t achieved the Eternal God Position. That was quite embarrassing.

But even the Water-Fire Emperor hadn’t attained it either, and she still crushed all opponents beneath her. If a woman could do that, then surely he, with his system, could surpass her?

“I thought so.”

Upon hearing his words, the Female Emperor nodded thoughtfully. When she had ascended to the Tenth Heaven God King Level, the Eternal God Position had appeared in the sky above, yet she had been powerless to reach it, only watching helplessly as it drifted further away.

This was the case for all the races of the Ancient Sage Realm.

In the Female Emperor’s opinion, there must be some grand conspiracy behind it all—perhaps the Eternal God Position was controlled by the cosmic will.

If each race had an Eternal God Position expert, then the Ancient Race would have been wiped out long ago. They wouldn’t have survived until now.

But precisely because no one had attained the Eternal God Position, the Ancient Race’s Supremes had become so powerful.

“Why are you here?” Lin Fan asked, looking at the Female Emperor.

Back in the Xuanhuang Realm, this woman had betrayed him so badly he had vowed that once he reached the Upper Realm, he would make her pay.

But now that he saw her, he hesitated.

What if he did something too intense and ended up getting her pregnant? He might end up being responsible for her.

The Female Emperor noticed the odd look in Lin Fan’s eyes and immediately frowned, sensing something ominous.

“This is Xuan’er’s hometown. The Ancient Race’s kings attacked, so I slaughtered them, which attracted the Supremes,” she explained.

“Oh, I see.”

Lin Fan nodded. Not far away, another figure smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

“Xuan’er, why don’t you greet me now? You used to call me so happily before,” Lin Fan said meaningfully, looking at the young girl standing with her head bowed, a cold smile playing on his lips.

“Xuan’er, do you know this great deity?”

“Yes.”

Xuan’er’s companions asked in shock.

To them, this great deity was simply incredible—he had killed Ancient Race Supremes, and even the recently descended Supreme had fled at the sight of him without daring to act recklessly.

For these young people who had lived under the Ancient Race’s oppression, this was simply amazing.

He was their absolute idol.

Xuan’er slowly approached, lifting her tear-streaked face. “Big Brother Lin, are you here to punish me?”

Looking at Xuan’er’s expression, Lin Fan was momentarily at a loss for words. This girl had always been mischievous since childhood.

But judging from her current situation, she seemed to have made many new friends.

“What do you think?” Lin Fan smiled, countering her question.

The Female Emperor stood awkwardly to the side. She knew Lin Fan was referring to the events five years ago.

Five years ago, in the Female Emperor’s eyes, Lin Fan had been nothing more than a lowly ant struggling at the edge of life and death. Yet who could have imagined that in just five short years, he would rise to such heights, dazzling everyone with his brilliance.

The world gradually returned to calm.

Lin Fan felt a pang of fear, his courage wavering. He had intended to show off in front of the Five Supreme Beings with his divine sense, but he hadn’t expected to be discovered by the Water-Fire Emperor.

After reaching the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the Eternal Divine Position, Lin Fan increasingly felt the ferocity of the Water-Fire Emperor.

Although he was only a (pseudo) Eternal Divine Position, his combat power had been steadily rising. Even when facing a Supreme Being, he now had the ability to fight back, unlike before when he had to risk his life to have a chance at defeating them.

Lin Fan gazed into the void, silently motivating himself. It seemed he needed to work harder. Now, his greatest enemies, apart from the will of the Ancient Saint World, were the Water-Fire Emperor.

This woman was extremely cruel. If she were to be released, his tragic days would surely follow.

However, he was not the type to wait for death. He had to resist. The Water-Fire Emperor wanted to play with his body, but how could he give her that chance? He had to rise up and fight back.

How dare she call him her captive? Wasn’t that an insult?

As long as he could improve his strength just a little more, once the Water-Fire Emperor emerged, he would surely pin her down and make her understand what a real man was.

Having made this significant decision, Lin Fan was determined to move forward toward this goal.

“Have you attained the Eternal Divine Position?” the Empress hurried over, her stunning face showing an urgent desire to know.

“No, the Eternal Position has shattered,” Lin Fan replied.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that no matter what, he was a heaven-defying powerhouse. But now, without even the Eternal Position, it was truly embarrassing.

However, the Water-Fire Emperor hadn’t attained the Eternal Position either, yet her strength crushed all beings. If a woman could have such power, how could he, with his system, be inferior?

“Indeed,” the Empress nodded upon hearing this. When she had ascended to the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the Eternal Position had appeared in the void, but she was powerless to reach it, only watching as it drifted further away.

This was the case for all the myriad races of the Ancient Saint World.

In the Empress’s view, there must be a grand conspiracy behind this. Perhaps the Eternal Position was controlled by the will of the heavens.

If each of the myriad races had a powerhouse who attained the Eternal Position, the Ancient Clan would have been annihilated long ago, unable to persist until now.

But because no one had attained the Eternal Position, the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Clan remained so powerful.

“Why are you here?” Lin Fan asked the Empress.

This woman had once tricked him badly in the Profound Yellow World, so Lin Fan had sworn that once he reached the upper world and found her, he would make her pay dearly.

But now that he saw her, Lin Fan couldn’t bring himself to act.

If he made her pay dearly and accidentally got her pregnant, he would probably have to take responsibility.

The Empress noticed the strange look in Lin Fan’s eyes and frowned, sensing something amiss.

“This is Xuan’er’s homeland. The Ancient Clan’s monarchs attacked, and I killed them, which drew the attention of the Supreme Beings,” the Empress explained.

“Oh, I see,” Lin Fan nodded, then noticed a figure not far away and smiled.

“Xuan’er, why aren’t you greeting me? You used to call out so happily,” Lin Fan said meaningfully, looking at the little girl standing there with her head down, inwardly sneering.

“Xuan’er, do you know this great god?” her companions asked in shock.

In their eyes, this great god was truly formidable. He had slain the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Clan, and even a newly arrived Supreme Being had fled upon seeing him, not daring to act recklessly.

For these young people living under the oppression of the Ancient Clan, this was truly awe-inspiring.

He was completely their idol.

Xuan’er slowly walked over, then lifted her tear-streaked face. “Brother Lin, do you want to hit Xuan’er?”

Lin Fan looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words. This girl had always been clever and mischievous since childhood.

But now, it seemed she had made many new friends.

The Empress stood there awkwardly, knowing that Lin Fan was referring to the events of five years ago.

Five years ago, in the Empress’s eyes, Lin Fan was just an ant struggling on the brink of life and death. Who could have imagined that in just five years, he would grow to such heights, dazzling everyone.

His talent, his abilities, his fortune—it was simply invincible.

“Emperor Lin, let’s return to the village first. We can talk things over slowly,” the Empress suggested.

“Brother Lin, it’s been so many years since I last saw you. Xuan’er has missed you so much. Back then, Xuan’er didn’t want to agree, but… but…” Xuan’er quietly glanced at her master, clearly indicating that it wasn’t her fault—it was all her master’s doing.

The Empress coughed lightly, surprised that her disciple had betrayed her, which made her feel quite sad.

The fox clan, having narrowly escaped death, naturally held Lin Fan in the highest regard. For the strong, the fox clan always held a sense of reverence.

When Xuan’er had been taken away by the Empress, the fox clan had felt that they had gained a powerful backer.

Now, seeing that this human emperor seemed to have a good relationship with Xuan’er, it was even more uplifting for the fox clan.

With such a strong ally, the safety of the fox clan was assured.

The fox clan’s camp was underground, but it seemed to be maintained by a strange formation, making it appear as if they were above ground, with the blue sky and white clouds still visible.

Inside a room.

“Brother Lin, don’t be angry. Xuan’er has missed you so much,” Xuan’er said sweetly, the little girl having somehow learned to act cute.

And her words had become sweeter too.

She used to call him uncle, but now she called him brother.

It seemed that he was growing younger.

Xuan’er smiled sweetly. “Yes, these are the friends I made during my travels.”

“Senior, I am Zhang Tao, from the Horn Clan,” a young man about Xuan’er’s age said nervously.

If they were cowardly, they wouldn’t have followed Xuan’er here.

“Emperor Lin, let’s return to the village first. We can talk about everything there,” the Female Emperor suggested.

“Big Brother Lin, I’ve missed you so much these years. I didn’t really want to agree back then, but… but…” Xuan’er quietly glanced at her master, clearly implying that none of this was her fault—it was all her master’s doing.

The Female Emperor coughed lightly, surprised that her disciple had betrayed her. She felt deeply hurt.

The world gradually returned to calm.

Lin Fan felt a sharp pain in his nether regions, scared out of his wits. He had just tried to show off in front of the Five Supreme Beings with his divine sense, but unexpectedly, the Water-Fire Emperor had detected him.

After reaching the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the Eternal God Position, Lin Fan increasingly felt that the Water-Fire Emperor was becoming more and more formidable.

Although he was only a (pseudo) Eternal God Position, his combat power had been steadily rising. Even when facing a Supreme Being, he now had the ability to fight back, unlike before when he had to risk his life to have a chance at defeating them.

Lin Fan gazed into the void, silently encouraging himself. It seemed he needed to work even harder. Now, his greatest enemies, apart from the will of the Ancient Saint World, were the Water-Fire Emperor.

This woman was extremely vicious. If she were to be released, his tragic days would surely follow.

But he wasn’t the type to wait for death. He had to resist. The Water-Fire Emperor wanted to toy with his body, but how could he give her that chance? He had to rise up and turn the tables.

How dare she call him her plaything? Wasn’t that an insult?

As long as he could improve his strength just a little more, once the Water-Fire Emperor emerged, he would definitely pin her down and make her understand what a real man was.

With this major decision in his heart, Lin Fan was determined to move forward toward this goal.

“Have you attained the Eternal God Position?” the Empress hurried over, her stunning face showing an urgent desire to know.

“No, the Eternal Position has shattered,” Lin Fan replied.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that no matter what, he was an extraordinary figure. But now, without even the Eternal Position, it was truly embarrassing.

However, the Water-Fire Emperor hadn’t attained the Eternal Position either, yet her strength still overwhelmed all. If a woman could do it, how could he, with his system, possibly fall short?

“Just as I thought.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress nodded slightly. When she had ascended to the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the Eternal Position had appeared in the void, but she had been powerless to reach it, only able to watch as it drifted further and further away.

This was the case for all the myriad races of the Ancient Saint World.

In the Empress’s view, there must be a grand conspiracy behind this. Perhaps the Eternal Position was controlled by the will of the heavens.

If even one of the myriad races had a supreme being who attained the Eternal Position, the Ancient Clan would have been annihilated long ago, unable to persist until now.

But precisely because no one had attained the Eternal Position, the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Clan remained so powerful.

“Why are you here?” Lin Fan asked the Empress.

This woman had once tricked him badly in the Profound Yellow World, so back then, Lin Fan had sworn that once he reached the upper realm and found the Empress, he would make her pay dearly.

Lin Fan nodded, then noticed a figure not far away, a smile creeping onto his lips.

“Xuan’er, why aren’t you greeting me? You used to call out so happily,” Lin Fan said meaningfully, looking at the little girl standing there with her head lowered, a cold smile in his heart.

“Xuan’er, do you know this great god?”

“Yes.”

Xuan’er’s companions were all shocked, asking in awe.

In their eyes, this great god was truly incredible. He had slain the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Clan, and even a newly arrived Supreme Being had fled at the sight of him, not daring to act recklessly.

For these young people who had lived under the oppression of the Ancient Clan, this was simply amazing.

The Empress coughed lightly, feeling a pang of sadness that her disciple had betrayed her like this.

The fox tribe, having narrowly escaped death, naturally held Lin Fan in the highest regard. For the fox tribe, there was always a sense of reverence toward the strong.

When Xuan’er had been taken away by the Empress, the fox tribe had felt that they had found a powerful backer.

Now, seeing that this human emperor seemed to have a good relationship with Xuan’er, it was even more uplifting for the fox tribe.

With such a strong ally, the safety of the fox tribe was assured.

The fox tribe’s camp was underground, but it was maintained by a strange formation that made it seem as if they were above ground, with the blue sky and white clouds still visible.

Inside a room.

“Brother Lin, don’t be angry. Xuan’er has missed you so much,” Xuan’er said sweetly. The little girl had somehow learned to act cute.

And her words had become sweeter too.

She used to call him uncle, but now she called him brother.

It seemed that he was growing younger.

“You’ve become quite mischievous these days. Your words are as sweet as honey. Are these your friends?” Lin Fan asked with a smile.

Xuan’er smiled sweetly. “Yes, these are the friends I’ve made during my travels.”

“Senior, I’m Zhang Tao, from the Horned Tribe,” a young man about Xuan’er’s age said nervously.

“Senior, my name is Tian Yu, from the Winged Tribe,” a young girl with a pretty face said, her bright eyes shining with admiration. In Tian Yu’s heart, this great god was her idol.

Then, Xuan’er’s other companions introduced themselves one by one.

Lin Fan could see that while some of these companions might not have exceptional talent, they were all resolute in their resistance against the Ancient Clan, unyielding and fearless.

If they were timid, they wouldn’t have followed Xuan’er here.

When Xuan’er had been taken away by the Female Emperor before, the Fox Clan had felt they had finally gained a powerful protector.

Now, seeing that this Human Emperor seemed to have a close relationship with Xuan’er, the Fox Clan felt even more encouraged.

With such a powerful figure around, the safety of the Fox Clan would be assured.

The Fox Clan’s camp was underground, but it was maintained by some strange formation, making it impossible to tell it was below ground. Looking up, one could still see the blue sky and white clouds.

Inside a room.

“Big Brother Lin, don’t be angry anymore. Xuan’er really missed you,” Xuan’er sweetly said, having apparently learned how to be cute at some point.

And her words had become sweeter too.

Before, she had called him Uncle, now she called him Big Brother.

Looks like he had grown younger and younger.

“You little rascal, you’ve definitely become more mischievous these days. Your words are getting sweeter than honey. Are these your friends?” Lin Fan smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xuan’er sweetly laughed. “Yes, these are all friends I met while adventuring outside.”

“Senior, I’m Zhang Tao from the Horn Clan,” a young man around Xuan’er’s age nervously introduced himself.

“Senior, my name is Tian Yu from the Wing Clan,” a young girl with a pretty face said, her bright eyes shining with admiration. In her heart, this great deity was her idol.

Then, Xuan’er’s other companions introduced themselves one by one.

Lin Fan could tell that although some of them didn’t have extraordinary talent, they were all determined to resist the Ancient Race, showing unwavering courage and fearlessness.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have followed Xuan’er here.
