414: Choice?

Just as Lin Chen killed the Xuan Tian Clone, a figure appeared within his true spirit's perception range.

"Is that Lu Xinghui?"

"Looks like he just rushed over from the ancestral land."

Lin Chen realized it instantly.

This Xuan Tian must have intended to cripple him and then wait for Lu Xinghui to come and kill him personally...

Unfortunately, Xuan Tian didn't expect that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

"Since you've come, don't think about going back!"

The next moment, Lin Chen's figure entered the ninth layer of space-time.

He continuously teleported, rushing rapidly towards Lu Xinghui.

High in the Void Realm, three figures were stunned, still immersed in the moment Lin Chen erupted just now.

"Old Gu, if I'm not mistaken, was that a legendary grade Primordial Battle Skill that Lin Chen just unleashed?"

"Also, his combat power boost is too exaggerated!"

Yuan said, his face full of shock.

Gu did not answer Yuan's words; seven-colored rays of light flashed continuously in his pupils, as if he were deducing something.

Beside him, Hao was also deep in thought, his gaze fixed on the figure teleporting through the ninth layer of space-time...

After a long while, Gu said with a complex expression:

"Today, we must protect Lin Chen, even if it means falling out with Ying!"

"What?"

Yuan exclaimed upon hearing this.

He hadn't lost his composure over a matter like this for a long time.

"Old Gu, what did you see?"

Hao, standing beside him, asked softly, his eyes flickering.

Gu's pupils had returned to normal by now, and he spoke slowly:

"I deduced Lin Chen's fate line again."

"From Lin Chen's fate line, I learned that my Human Race will face a terrifying catastrophe!"

"This catastrophe is even greater than the one brought by the Guixu Clan, concerning the survival of my Human Race!"

"And the initiator of this catastrophe is — Lin Chen!"

Hiss — Hao and Yuan were both shocked to the core upon hearing this.

Especially Yuan; he looked at Lin Chen, who was rapidly approaching Lu Xinghui in the distance, his expression changing constantly, as if he were struggling with a decision...

Both of them knew Gu's ability well; he had comprehended the Great Dao of Destiny to an extremely profound level.

The reason the Human Race had been able to barely resist the Guixu Clan for countless epochs was largely due to Gu's contribution...

Every time the Human Race faced a crisis, it was Gu who, through fate deduction, found a glimmer of survival for the Human Race!

However, this time, Gu's deduction was too exaggerated.

Falling out with Ying?

One must know that on the front lines, Ying had held off one-third of the Guixu Clan's Ancestor Realm Experts single-handedly!

All of this relied on Ying's Clone technique!

He could condense 50 Clones at the Early Stage of the Ancestor Realm, and they were the kind of Clones that didn't fear death!

"The root of this catastrophe lies in our choice today..."

Gu sighed and continued:

"I watched the possibilities of Lin Chen's fate line a million times into the future."

"More than half of the possibilities are — today Lin Chen will be killed by Ying, but he will not truly die."

"Afterward, Lin Chen will seem to disappear... and when he reappears... he will have slaughtered the entire Human Race High Command!"

Yuan and Hao's pupils constricted violently upon hearing this.

"Gu... are you sure you aren't joking?"

"Old Gu, this joke of yours is a bit too much. How could Lin Chen..."

Yuan's words were cut short as he suddenly sensed an aura.

"Not good! Ying is here!"

The three Human Race Ancestor Realm Experts all looked in the direction of Lin Chen.

They saw a body wreathed in illusory light and shadow appear before Lin Chen.

"Quick, we must stop Ying!"

"There is another possibility, which is that if we protect Lin Chen today, the future of the Human Race will be bright!"

Gu said anxiously.

Yuan and Hao had no time to think too much at this moment.

Naturally, they would not watch such a peerless Prodigy like Lin Chen die.

Hum — The three of them appeared instantly in the ninth layer of space-time where Lin Chen was.

At this moment, Lin Chen looked calmly at the figure with the terrifying aura.

He had already guessed the identity of this figure.

Ying!

This Ancestor Realm Expert who had always wanted to get rid of him!

Come to think of it, he didn't have any deep grudge with Ying; everything was simply because of his relationship with Old Lei.

And also because his talent made Ying afraid...

Ying looked at the three people, including Hao, who had appeared, and said with a calm expression:

"Are you trying to stop me?"

Yuan stepped forward and sighed:

"Ying, things haven't reached that point yet. Your grudge with Lei Wuji shouldn't affect Lin Chen..."

"My Human Race cannot afford such turmoil right now..."

"Ying, my Human Race needs such an up-and-coming talent..."

Hao also spoke up at this moment.

"An up-and-coming talent?"

Ying's body trembled, the light and shadow around him vanished, revealing a bloodless, middle-aged face.

"Back then, wasn't my grandson one too?"

"He had a chance to reach the Ancestor Realm!"

"I know you sent Lei Wuji to the Tianqi Land again, but even if he breaks through to the Ancestor Realm, I will definitely kill him and let him accompany my grandson!"

"Lin Chen must also die. With talent like his, he cannot be left alive!"

The more Ying spoke, the more agitated his expression became, almost reaching the point of roaring by the end.

Lin Chen shook his head slightly behind the three Ancestor Realm Experts; this was hardly the state of mind of an Ancestor Realm Expert...

"Make your choice. Is it to protect Lin Chen today, or to break with me?"

After a long while, Ying's emotions stabilized, and he said with a cold expression.

Once these words were spoken, Hao and Yuan fell into a dilemma.

They finally recalled what Gu had said to them earlier.

If they gave up on Lin Chen, the future Lin Chen would slaughter the Human Race High Command...

Just at this moment.

Hum — The Void Realm trembled.

Figures exuding terrifying auras appeared.

In an instant, five figures appeared in this ninth layer of space-time.

Lin Chen looked on in shock; he discovered that the auras of these figures were terrifyingly strong.

The might they exuded, if directed at him, would probably destroy him instantly...

"It's the other five Ancestor Realm Experts of the Human Race!"

"They actually all came!"

Lin Chen's heart surged; his thoughts were racing, and he instantly understood the reason for the arrival of these Ancestor Realm Experts.

Ying's role on the Human Race front lines was too great!

His strength alone could alleviate most of the pressure brought by the Guixu Clan.

If this disturbance today could not be handled properly, it was very likely that Ying would abandon the Human Race and leave!

From the fact that Ying lowered himself to deal with Lei Wuji, and kept sending people to assassinate him, it was clear that this Ying was a very extreme person...

But it just so happened that the Human Race really needed Ying, needed Ying's combat power...

Ying abandoning the Human Race was the lightest outcome; if this matter wasn't handled well, it might even force Ying to betray the Human Race and join the Guixu Clan!

This was the most serious part!

Lin Chen calculated continuously in his heart.

Although the talent he had shown now was terrifying, he hadn't grown up yet.

What he lacked most right now was time!

And Ying was a real combat power ceiling!

Between him and Ying, which side would the eight Human Race Ancestor Realm Experts choose?

After clarifying the situation on the scene, Lin Chen felt very calm inside.

Today was a good chance to see how the Human Race High Command would choose.

If the Human Race High Command chose Ying, he would have no fear!

Facing Ying's pursuit, he could hide in the Place of Origin.

Then, through the Dreamland Traversal ability, he could go to the Guixu Clan's territory to continuously accumulate resources.

With the help of the System, he would soon be able to Breakthrough to the Ancestor Realm!
