252: Lin Sheng: I was the boss? ?

Taking advantage of having this Immortal backing him, Zhou Zi Wang quickly told Zhou Sheng to continue the coming-of-age ceremony.

But this time.

It was Zhou Sheng's turn to refuse!

"No!"

"How can I pretend nothing happened when something like this occurred at my coming-of-age ceremony!?"

Zhou Sheng clenched his fists, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth, as if he had suffered an immense grievance.

Well done!!

On the throne, Lin Sheng was overjoyed.

As expected of the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist, his ability to stir up trouble truly didn't disappoint.

"Xiao Sheng! That's enough! Let's finish the coming-of-age ceremony first!"

"No! Father! You know this is my coming-of-age ceremony! And what about these ten Kings of Bai Xian City! They explicitly said they want me to hand over my Heavens Mandate Luck... so they didn't come to congratulate me at all, they came directly for me!"

"But now they are behaving, and with Lord The Heaven Holder present, they wouldn't dare be presumptuous."

The Heaven Holder!?

Hearing these three words, the Kings of Bai Xian City all widened their eyes in astonishment.

They didn't dare look up and meet Lin Sheng's gaze directly.

They only dared to lower their heads and exchange glances with each other, looking exactly like they were communicating through their eyes.

'That Lin Sheng is The Heaven Holder!?'

'I've never seen anyone named Lin Sheng on The Heaven Holder list?'

'How could this Zhou Zi Wang know something we don't? Is it possible that Lin Sheng just made it up for him?'

'That's possible, let's wait and see...'

Lin Sheng's gaze lightly swept over the Kings of Bai Xian City.

——The system had told him before that he would know the identity of the intercepted NPC after entering. But after entering, it didn't tell him anything, so he guessed the system put this identity information in his personal profile.

Therefore, at this moment.

He finally couldn't help but open his personal panel.

After the system upgrade, the panel was completely refreshed at this moment.

[Name]: Lin Sheng

[Identity]: Man Xian Heaven·The Heaven Holder/Despair·Boss

[Realm]: Twenty-ninth Realm, Third Layer

[Bloodline]: True·Human Clan Bloodline (Sixth Grade·Upper)

[Physique]: Demon God Holy Body (Third Grade·Lower)

[...]

[Personal Profile]: The newly promoted The Heaven Holder of Man Xian Heaven, possessing extraordinary combat power far exceeding those at the same realm.

Hmm!?

The information provided by this panel was quite significant.

The first point, and also the point he considered most important!

The identity he intercepted was actually a boss!!

He could roughly understand the preceding two words "Despair" as the difficulty grade of the boss; although the high difficulty made him somewhat happy, it was undeniable that his positioning in this game was still a boss!

'This is bad!'

Lin Sheng's heart tightened: 'The opening animation isn't over yet, players can't perform any actions, so they can't see my boss identity yet.'

'I wonder if they will be able to tell my boss identity after they actually start playing the game...'

He knew the players' thoughts all too well.

No matter how noble your character, how flawless your words and actions.

As long as they know you are a boss.

They will think you will betray them sooner or later, commit evil sooner or later, and may even prejudge that you will deceive them, not trusting your words from the start.

'If they can really tell by then...'

Lin Sheng's mind worked quite fast; he had already thought of two sets of countermeasures in his heart.

One set to deal with them being able to tell.

One set to deal with them not being able to tell.

The realm, physique, and bloodline on the panel also piqued his interest.

'Twenty-ninth Realm, Third Layer... that's okay.'

'As for this physique and bloodline...'

'In the original stars against the heavens world view, bloodlines and physiques didn't have grades, but because the game has grades, my physique and bloodline now have corresponding grades.'

'The higher the grade number, the more powerful it should be.'

'After the Collapse Value update, items can be strengthened; perhaps bloodlines, physiques, and even cultivation techniques can be directly strengthened to higher grades...'

Lin Sheng thought so much on his end.

But in reality, only two or three breaths of time had passed.

On the scene.

Zhou Sheng seriously stared at Lin Sheng for a while, then swept his gaze over the surrounding Kings and the group of clansmen behind them, finally turning his attention back to Zhou Zi Wang.

"Father!"

"This is our matter, and ultimately, we must resolve it ourselves!"

"Lord The Heaven Holder can help us once, but he can't help us for a lifetime. Running away won't solve the problem, we must solve it ourselves!"

Zhou Zi Wang tightly clenched his hands.

It was just that he didn't dare to make the decision now, so he looked up at Lin Sheng on the main seat.

The latter was extremely pleased in his heart, but on the surface, he merely smiled and nodded lightly.

"Alright!"

Zhou Zi Wang sighed heavily, reached out, and patted Zhou Sheng's shoulder: "Since Lord The Heaven Holder has allowed it, then I, your father, also support you."

"Mm!"

Zhou Sheng replied solemnly, his gaze firm.

[You successfully persuaded your father to agree to you handling this incident.]

[You are filled with heroic spirit and decide——]

[A: First thank Lin Sheng, kneel down and kowtow to him.]

[B: First thank your father, hug him and give him a kiss.]

[C: Actually resolve the incident, stating that you truly possess Heavens Mandate Luck.]

[D: Angrily denounce the Kings of Bai Xian City, venting your dissatisfaction.]

C!

Lin Sheng certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity for the "protagonist to expose himself".

In front of him.

He saw Zhou Sheng resolutely turn around, his determined gaze directly facing the Kings of Bai Xian City.

"You guessed correctly."

"I truly possess a portion of Heavens Mandate Luck; it actively attached itself to me when I was born."

Just like that, in front of everyone, he suddenly confessed without any warning!

[Collapse Value +60!]

The Kings of Bai Xian City were first startled.

Immediately, one by one, they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, all revealing eerie, chilling smiles.

The Blue Star players below the stage didn't feel much surprise.

The protagonist actively exposing himself?

Isn't that a display of sincerity and honesty?

"But since..."

"This portion of Heavens Mandate Luck actively entered my body..."

Zhou Sheng lifted his leg and stepped towards the Kings of Bai Xian City one step at a time, raging flames seemingly blooming in his eyes: "Then it's mine! No one..."

"Can take it away!!"

With his weak cultivation, he stood before the nine Kings.

Declaring his sovereignty over this portion of Heavens Mandate Luck!

It looked quite inspiring.

But in reality, everyone knew he was just relying on the confidence Lin Sheng gave him. If Lin Sheng wasn't there and he still dared to act like this, that would be truly inspiring.

The nine Kings weren't angered; instead, they met his gaze with chilling smiles.

"The young man of the Zhou Family is truly outstanding."

"Indeed, such an honest person is rarely seen in the cultivation world."

"We know, we know, you, a junior at the tenth realm, possess a portion of Heavens Mandate Luck."

"Lord The Heaven Holder, now that you have confirmed that the other party possesses a portion of Heavens Mandate Luck, are you... somewhat interested now?"

Thump.

Zhou Zi Wang, not far away, was scared to the ground by this last sentence.

Although he agreed to his son handling the matter, he truly didn't expect him to actually expose himself, even though they had already agreed he absolutely must not say anything...

Now...

He raised his head and watched that Lord with trepidation.

If he also developed an interest in this portion of luck, then their Zhou Family... might cease to exist today!
