34: Chapter 34 Ten Years

True God Lin Cheng's voice suddenly increased in volume, startling Lin Ye, who had been lost in thought.

"Uh... it seems to match again, is this talking about the USA?"

However, Lin Ye never once considered walking the twisted path his father mentioned.

A twisted path is always a twisted path, and the backlash will arrive eventually...

Thinking of the Lord of War his father mentioned, that position has changed hands several times in such a short period...

Lin Ye remembered that they all died quite miserably...

What True God Lin Cheng was saying now, Lin Ye would be able to learn in higher grades; he was just telling his son in advance.

A Child of the Divine Domain who is too compassionate is not suitable for exploring the Outer Realm.

It is more suitable to live a quiet life in the Main World...

Don't get tricked by an Outer Realm God until not even scum is left the moment you step out of the Main World...

He himself wasn't afraid; as long as he was cautious, with the help of his Golden Finger, who could kill him?

Seeing that his son was not in high spirits, True God Lin Cheng changed his teaching method this time.

His fingertips brushed across the void, bringing up a string of golden light points, which condensed into various images in the air...

There was the sincere light flickering in the eyes of Believers when they prayed... and also faces twisted by fear during disasters...

"Look!"

True God Lin Cheng pointed to an image, which showed a simple, dilapidated wooden high-rise teetering in the breeze.

"This high-rise is like faith built upon fear; even the slightest breeze can make it teeter."

"Look at this again..."

True God Lin Cheng stood before a massive star map, his fingertips tapping lightly as he continuously called up images for Lin Ye to watch.

"Faith is like these stars; it seems unreachable, yet it can guide the way in the darkness."

Seeing this, Lin Ye sat cross-legged beside his father, tilting his head to look at the images his father had called up.

It was quite novel, true 3D images...

True God Lin Cheng's lecture this time was not dull; the various images from the long river of history kept Lin Ye busy.

True God Lin Cheng's lecture lasted for a long time; it was rare for his son to listen to his teachings, so he had to put on a good show...

When the last image dissipated into the void, True God Lin Cheng finally turned to look at his son, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Remember, faith is by no means a miracle that can be maintained solely by divine power."

"You must learn to listen, learn to understand, and learn to discover the sacred in the ordinary..."

Lin Ye stood up, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed to his father; he could understand his father's well-intentioned efforts...

Five Years Later

"It is time to set off..."

He had already stayed by his father's side for 5 years, and he didn't even know how he had managed to stay that long...

But now, Lin Ye had decided to leave his father's side.

Lin Ye gazed at the wilderness covered in thin mist before him, his fingers unconsciously stroking the pocket watch in his hand.

That was the gift his father had given him when he said goodbye.

"Never forget, the greatest miracles always grow in the soil trodden by mortals..."

These were the words True God Lin Cheng left him when they parted, and Lin Ye felt they made a lot of sense.

Putting the pocket watch away again, in the mirror of the pocket watch, he could still see his face which had not changed in five years.

Since opening his Divine Domain and becoming a divine being, Lin Ye's perception of time had become increasingly faint.

He had gradually formed his own concept of time...

He clearly said he came here for a trip, yet he was instilled with so many educational ideas by his father; just thinking about it now gave him a headache...

However, during this time, Lin Ye's knowledge and experience had also grown significantly.

He continuously refined the knowledge learned in school and his own views into his own...

"Theory is like a map..." True God Lin Cheng often said.

"It can tell you the direction, but it cannot walk this path for you. You have already seen a lot by following me; it is time for you to go out and walk on your own..."

Just as his father said, the greatest miracles always grow in the soil trodden by mortals, not written on yellowed paper.

"What you get from books is always superficial; to truly understand, you must practice it yourself." Lin Ye recited this poem softly; it made sense.

Traveling alone was much easier; there was no destination, he just went wherever he felt like.

Lin Ye's footprints covered many corners of this plane, and he had enthusiastically played many roles.

He listened to his father's words, suppressed his small amount of divinity, and brought only his pure humanity to measure this world...

He had once served as the village chief of a remote mountain village...

He had been a magic herb cultivator on a plantation...

He had been a mercenary in a mercenary group...

...Many, many more; these identities made his journey not so dull.

Anyway, if he was tired of a role, he would just throw it away and take a trip on a whim...

His life experience had indeed enriched quite a bit, having seen all sorts of people...

His temperament had also matured unconsciously.

Is this the wear and tear of time and growth?

Five Years Later

"It is time to leave..."

Lin Ye whispered softly, lifting his wrist slightly, his gaze falling on the bracelet...

A notification message was flashing, also reminding him.

There were only two days left before school started in the Main World...

And his journey should also come to an end.

He had played for so long and was a bit tired; it was time to go back...

A touch of vicissitudes and reluctance could not help but appear in Lin Ye's eyes.

From entering the portal until now, he had wandered in this world for 10 years.

Lin Ye bowed his head and gazed at the bracelet, thoughts flooding in like a tide; the greenness and confusion when he first arrived in the demi-plane seemed like yesterday.

During this journey, Lin Ye had met all kinds of people.

Each one was like a streetlamp on the road of his life, illuminating his path forward.

Whenever night fell, Lin Ye loved to lean against a haystack and look up at the starry sky.

Those who had formed bonds with him were like the twinkling stars in the sky, turning into specks of faint light surrounding him when he closed his eyes...

He remembered when he was traveling in a remote small town.

He saw with his own eyes a young noble, in order to please the young noblewoman accompanying him,

actually triggered a freezing magic to cover the medicinal herb field...

The cold ice turned the farmland into a frozen world, and the noble's smile and the Rabbitman kneeling but not daring to wail were particularly jarring...

When the young noble threw a copper coin that hit the Rabbitman's forehead... the Rabbitman could not help but shed tears...

"What are you crying for! You lowly slave!

This barren land can be used to please us noble aristocrats,

you should feel honored!"

The young noble stepped on the Rabbitman, using his clothes on the back to wipe the soles of his shoes,

but did not notice, among the onlookers, a person silently holding a little girl's hand...

When he saw the young noble continue to destroy the third medicinal herb field,

Lin Ye's fingers, stained with breadcrumbs, curled slightly.

In an instant, the world turned upside down, and the three protective shields the young noble used for life-saving shattered like eggshells!

That right hand wearing five storage rings was still maintaining the posture of casting a spell,

and then the whole person disappeared as if vaporized!

Like a pair of divine hands, it completely erased him from the world.

This was also one of the very few times Lin Ye displayed his strength.
