79: The Secret Behind the Gods

In the blink of an eye, time reached the 10th year.

Lin Nian had mastered various minor magic spells and began tackling more complex intermediate magic, attempting to decipher the magical power surrounding Jupiter from its underlying logic.

But clearly, the road was long.

In 10 years, Lin Nian had 'conquered' all the young people on this planet.

Not a single one knew his name.

This was extremely strange.

"Didn't it say they were young people aged 18 to 20?"

"Could it be that after 10 years, I still have to find those who just turned 18 this year?"

Yes, there was a major problem with the Destiny Goddess's hint.

A problem with time.

People cannot stay young forever.

Some would grow older, exceeding 20 years old, while others would also grow up, reaching 18 years old.

"The Destiny Goddess shouldn't be so bored as to mess with me."

"So, what exactly does this hint mean?"

Lin Nian began studying the history of this planet.

Phantom Light City, Lin Nian knew this was a kingdom created by gods.

The people within this kingdom did not know this.

The 'Sin' on Lin Nian's arm had long since disappeared; powerful fire-attribute damage could incinerate everything.

However, the 27 billion people on this planet, like the 88 people on Blue Star, all had the character 'Sin' on their arms.

After careful study.

Lin Nian knew the truth of the matter.

The first thing these 270 people did upon waking up each day was to prostrate themselves towards the sky in worship.

Three times a day.

Lin Nian had seen this before but hadn't paid attention, thinking it was some form of performance art.

Having learned a considerable amount of magic now, after reverse simulation, he discovered that when these people worshipped, they would feedback a certain extremely pure magical power towards the red Jupiter.

"Oh, so it's a method of absorbing power."

"But how does this help in obtaining points?"

"Right, why do these gods call Blue Star the [Nai He Bridge]?"

Lin Nian flew out of Phantom Light City and circled around Jupiter.

Jupiter does not just have Phantom Light City as a satellite; it has 92 satellites, and Phantom Light City is the largest among them, even bigger than Mercury.

A few minutes later, Lin Nian had a clear understanding of the situation around Jupiter, and the answer had already come to him.

To verify this answer, he needed to expand the scope to the entire Solar System.

An hour later, Lin Nian understood.

Jupiter was a gathering place for gods, constantly transporting large numbers of humans bearing 'Sin' to various planets in the Solar System.

The so-called Nai He Bridge was a method of forced brainwashing.

These sinners were brainwashed through various disasters; regardless of the process, only those who truly prostrated themselves before the gods could be reincarnated and go to the satellites around Jupiter to become true people.

The 'Sin' on their arms was their innate sin.

They all believed they were sinners.

Only by asking for forgiveness from the gods every day.

This ultimate crystalline entity, through daily worship, could bring pure Spiritual Power to the gods, thereby enhancing their power.

Three hours later.

Except for Phantom Light City, all other planets with life were ruthlessly wiped out by Lin Nian.

There was no experience (magic power), no points reward, only death.

Even so, the gods within Jupiter didn't dare show their faces: "Friend, we are doing this to achieve great salvation, for all life, can you not do this..."

Lin Nian said in a very sincere tone, "Come out, let's have a good chat, don't worry, I won't make a move."

"Friend, can you put away those Seraphim first..."

They wouldn't come out.

They simply wouldn't come out.

"Playing the turtle, huh?"

Feeling helpless, these gods kept playing the turtle, and Lin Nian couldn't do anything about them.

The plan to force them out failed.

In the 12th year, on this day, things took a turn.

The capital of the Phantom Light Kingdom, Phantom Light Avenue, was undoubtedly the most beautiful scenic spot on this planet, bar none.

There was an avenue here leading up to a tall mountain.

When driving on the avenue, one could see the massive red Jupiter in the distant sky.

The red light, refracted into brilliant pink in the artificially released thin atmosphere.

Jupiter's hideous and terrifying blood-red eye also softened, as if turning into a pink heart.

The government also heavily developed this tourist project, solely because in such a romantic scenic area, the birth rate could be increased.

On Phantom Light Avenue, a supercar sped towards the mountaintop. The person inside was none other than Huan Ning, the 17580th son of the King of Phantom Light.

The car was receiving a broadcast.

"As you drive on Phantom Light Avenue, Jupiter slowly rises above the horizon, as if you are driving towards another world..."

Huan Ning changed the channel.

This channel was talking about the legend of Phantom Light City, specifically the story of that vampire.

Huan Ning scoffed, "How could anyone believe this stuff?"

"Besides, who would be so bored as to ask someone else what their own name is?"

"Why hasn't that vampire called [Siberian Popsicle] come looking for me?"

The next moment, he turned his head and met the gaze of a pair of fiery red eyes.

The first sentence spoken scared Huan Ning so much he almost peed: "Tell me, what is my name?"

An illusion.

It must all be an illusion.

Huan Ning continued driving. When he tried to step on the accelerator, he found his right leg was gone.

It had turned into a cute large hamster and was rubbing against his left leg.

Huan Ning swallowed, his mind racing.

"Lin Fan?"

Lin Nian shook his head, "Wrong, but very close."

The next moment, Huan Ning's left hand turned into countless colorful butterflies and flew out the window.

"Lin Shuang?"

"How could someone have that name? Wrong."

Huan Ning's hair turned into earthworms.

"Don't rush, please don't rush, let me think carefully again... Lin Feng!! It must be this one!"

"Congratulations..."

Huan Ning's face lit up with joy.

"Wrong."

Just as Lin Nian was about to experiment with the male-to-female (complete version) magic, Huan Ning quickly said, "No, no, I'm the king's son, I'm his most favored, I'm useful..."

Heh heh.

The King?

Whether he called Lin Nian 'Dad' would depend on Lin Nian's mood.

"Wait."

"Wait for what? You're not the person I'm looking for."

"I know a big secret! It's beneath this planet! My father doesn't know, and even the gods in the sky don't know!!"

Lin Nian became interested. In the background information for Phantom Light City, it was mentioned that there was a magic array beneath this satellite.

Lin Nian had also suspected that the person who knew his real name might be there, but he hadn't found this magic array.

Moreover, the underground of this planet was inaccessible, blocked by a magical force similar to Jupiter's.

Huan Ning led Lin Nian to the most prosperous area of the capital. After several detours, they arrived at a hidden laboratory.
