217: Living Vulcan

After confirming that reinforcements were on their way, Lin Chen straightened up, completely unperturbed.

What he needed to do now was to stabilize this huoshen mountain intellect, whose authenticity was unknown.

"What capabilities do you have?"

"Dear Master, I am the embodiment of fire, the concretization of the Dao of Fire in the present world."

"Speak in plain language."

"It can control all flames. Master, you can completely cultivate the Dao of Fire as a supplementary Dao when your Mirror Dao cultivation reaches the Main God level. By combining the power of the two Daos, you can comprehend Dao Source Power and step into the Half-Foundation Level."

"Moreover, with my help, Master, you can also enhance the old master's comprehension of the Dao of Fire, increasing your probability of breaking through to the Foundation Level by at least 10%."

The words of the huoshen mountain intellect were very tempting.

Lin Chen, who possessed the Main God Artifact void-reality mirror, could comprehend Dao Source Power through the Mirror Dao, already having a chance to break through to the Foundation Level. If he added the legacy of an old Half-Foundation Level Fire God, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Level would indeed greatly increase.

However, this small benefit could not move Lin Chen.

Behind beautiful things, evil that devours everything is often hidden.

"Are you also a Main God Artifact?"

"Dear Master, I am not a Main God Artifact, but a Half-Supreme Treasure, just one step away from being promoted to a Supreme Treasure."

When the huoshen mountain intellect answered, its tone was clearly very high-spirited, indicating that it was truly proud that it was a Half-Supreme Treasure and had the chance to be promoted to a Supreme Treasure.

A Supreme Treasure was of Dao-level quality, and there were not many in the entire universe, so even a low-grade one was extremely sought after.

"A Half-Supreme Treasure!"

"My Human Race doesn't even have many, and it can still be promoted to a Supreme Treasure. I've really hit the jackpot here."

Lin Chen also took the cue, his genuine surprise and excitement making the huoshen mountain intellect even prouder.

What if he was a prodigy of a super-large clan? After all, he was not a Main God, nor was he Foundation Level. A Half-Supreme Treasure was already a rare treasure, let alone one that had the chance to be promoted to a Supreme Treasure.

A Supreme Treasure was the foundation of a clan, its status even surpassing that of a Foundation Level.

"Master, would you like to visit the Fire God Treasure Vault? The old master's lifelong collection is all in the Fire God Treasure Vault. Except for a portion used to generate Fire Spirits for rewarding other creatures participating in the trials, most of the treasures are sealed in the vault, waiting for you, Master, to receive them."

Lin Chen was very resistant to the huoshen mountain intellect's invitation. To him, that Fire God Treasure Vault was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.

The huoshen mountain intellect was most likely the Fire God himself.

Perhaps this God resurrected during a certain forbidden zone period, then through some method, safely passed through multiple calm and violent periods, until he met Lin Chen, and without even feigning, gave Lin Chen a cheat, allowing him to pass the nine trials.

Lin Chen did not believe in things falling from the sky, even though he did pick up pies every day, but that was exchanged with his luck. To pay the price of overdrafting his luck, his Five Elements Clone had died again and again.

Now, Lin Chen clearly sensed that his good luck was consumed very little, which meant that his passing the trials had little to do with himself, and it was definitely the huoshen mountain intellect playing tricks.

Good luck would only allow him to draw simple trials, not blatantly give him cheats and break the trial's restrictions.

"Can you kick out the other people participating in the trials? This is my Fire God Mountain. Those participating in the trials are just freeloading off me. I cannot tolerate it."

"Dear Master, as you wish."

The huoshen mountain intellect executed Lin Chen's command meticulously, and no longer mentioned the Fire God Treasure Vault, as if it truly were an artifact spirit, only offering some suggestions to its master, Lin Chen, without making its own decisions.

At this moment, the number of creatures participating in the Fire God Mountain trial was not small, at least a million, spanning from three hundred years ago to the present.

The trials for others were very normal; many required a lot of time to overcome, which is why over a million creatures gathered to participate in the trials within three hundred years.

Jiu Yue had just started the fourth trial when she was kicked out of the trial and returned to Fire God Mountain.

At this moment, she did not see Lin Chen; Lin Chen was still in the trial space, stalling for time with the huoshen mountain intellect.

"I lost just like that. This bet was too hasty!"

Jiu Yue looked at the creatures who appeared with her, and the constantly shrinking Fire God Mountain, and knew that Lin Chen had already passed the nine trials and obtained the Fire God Mountain.

However, Lin Chen had not appeared, indicating that some problem had occurred. Jiu Yue tried to communicate with Lin Chen but failed; she could not contact him.

The inheritance of Fire God Mountain had some problems; this was actually public knowledge.

In the Gods Graveyard, any fixed inheritance was considered a trap. Any creature that fell into a trap would most likely be trapped to death, and only a few could counter-kill the existence that dug the trap.

Jiu Yue was very confident in Lin Chen, confident that Lin Chen would definitely be able to counter-kill the Fire God who dug the trap. At this moment, she only needed to wait, and Lin Chen would naturally return safe and sound.

How could a Fire God who had been dead for an unknown number of years trap and kill Lin Chen, who was protected by many Human Race Foundation Levels? Even without Human Race Foundation Level protection, Lin Chen's luck would allow him to counter-kill.

Lin Chen, on his side, was now very at ease.

Because his backers had arrived, and there were three of them, all Foundation Levels Lin Chen had never dealt with before.

Fire Lord, Yan Fen, Foundation Level Mid-stage.

Other Shore Walker, Liang Tianxia, Foundation Level Mid-stage.

Weapon Saint, Nangong Ming, Foundation Level Mid-stage.

The three Human Race Foundation Levels were in place. They had not yet shown themselves, only silently appearing behind Lin Chen without being discovered by the huoshen mountain intellect.

The huoshen mountain intellect naturally couldn't discover the figures of the Foundation Levels. After all, that Fire God was only a Half-Foundation Level during his lifetime, a huge gap from a Foundation Level Mid-stage.

"Master, let's leave for now. There are several Main God-level existences around investigating the reason for my main body's disappearance. For your safety, it's best to leave first."

"Old fellow, it's pointless to keep acting. Bring out whatever tricks you have."

With his backers in place, Lin Chen stopped pretending.

As soon as he spoke, the huoshen mountain intellect remained silent.

After a long while, a phantom figure appeared before Lin Chen. This was the Fire God, the true master of Fire God Mountain. Lin Chen was merely a chess piece chosen by him.

"I have seen many Human Race prodigies. I must say, the Human Race is truly a favored race."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Since you've shown yourself, then die completely. Honestly leave your inheritance behind."

Lin Chen didn't argue with the Fire God, nor was he willing to listen to the Fire God's old story. It was nothing more than dying, resurrecting by chance, then enduring and scheming, until meeting Lin Chen, the most suitable vessel, and thus deciding to activate the scheme and enter the resurrection process.

"Human Race kid, you are very confident. Are you expecting your companion, a Time God of the Upper God level, to save you? Save your breath, she can't save you."

"Who said my companion is only one Time God?"

At this moment, Fire Lord, Other Shore Walker, and Weapon Saint, the three Foundation Levels, appeared behind him in cooperation with Lin Chen, slightly releasing their Foundation Level aura, which almost annihilated the phantom Fire God.

"What the heck, whose exploration team has three Foundation Levels following them!"

"So what?"

Lin Chen instantly killed the Fire God. The Fire God was now just a roadside dog.
