Chapter 542: Befriend Him
Chapter 542: Befriend Him
Within the grand hall, the youth in black robes felt a sense of dread in his heart.
"I must not become his enemy! I absolutely must not become his enemy!"
The black-robed youth stared at the man conversing with the Dominator of Myriad Bends.
Only this single thought crossed his mind.
As a wondrous life form born from the Chaos Void, the black-robed youth had the blood of time flowing within him.
Although it was incredibly dilute, it granted him the rare ability of 'precognition'.
Not long ago, for instance, the black-robed youth had foreseen that a calamity would befall the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
He promptly informed the Ancient Clarity Venerable, and eventually, they discovered that the void was about to become a battleground for two Great Sages.
If not for the black-robed youth's precognition and subsequent investigation, the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent would likely have suffered greatly from the aftermath of the two Great Sages' clash.
The black-robed youth's 'precognition' ability stemmed from the blood of time flowing within him, connected to timelines. The crises he perceived often originated from the future.
Of course, the black-robed youth could only sense the presence of a crisis.
As for how the crisis would unfold and other details, they remained unclear.
The blood of time flowing within him was too dilute.
For those with a much richer concentration of temporal blood, they might be able to glimpse vague future scenes and thus determine the scope and source of the crisis.
If it were a true 13th-rank temporal life form, it would be entirely capable of anchoring itself and observing countless future timelines related to itself with utmost clarity.
"The feeling he gives me is far more dangerous than the Shadow Demon Sage and the Nine Phoenix Sage combined. How is that possible?"
The black-robed youth was incredulous.
When he had previously sensed the aftermath of the two Great Sages' clash, the black-robed youth had only foreseen that he would suffer severe injuries, with the worst-case scenario being the destruction of his physical body.
But he certainly wouldn't have died, as he had arranged numerous life-saving measures in distant and secretive locations.
Not to mention merely bearing the aftermath of a Chaos Sage, even if he had faced a Chaos Sage directly, he would likely not have been completely annihilated.
However, when it came to Lin Yuan, the black-robed youth had a vague premonition that he would be utterly destroyed. If he became Lin Yuan's enemy, the darkness of eternity awaited him, and none of his life-saving measures would be able to stop it.
"Terrifying."
"Horrifying."
The black-robed youth's heart trembled. This sense of impending total annihilation was something he had rarely felt since his birth.
It was only in the depths of extremely dangerous places like the Great Abyss Ruins that he had vaguely foreseen such a fate. But Lin Yuan? How could a mere incarnation of his give the black-robed youth such a desperate feeling?
"What in the world is going on?"
The black-robed youth calmed himself and carefully observed Lin Yuan, confirming that his aura was only at the peak of the Path Opening realm.
With his strength, he could extinguish countless lives with a mere yawn. Why, then, did he have such a 'precognition'?
"As long as I don't become his enemy, I'll live. But if I become his enemy, death is certain?"
The black-robed youth repeatedly tested his 'precognition' ability and finally arrived at this conclusion.
"This won't do. I must inform Ancient Clarity," the black-robed youth said, his figure disappearing as he headed deeper into the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
If things had proceeded normally, he wouldn't have become Lin Yuan's enemy, and thus, he wouldn't have sensed any crisis.
But when the black-robed youth's gaze fell upon Lin Yuan, his precognition ability stirred, and numerous possible futures flooded his mind, including the consequence of becoming Lin Yuan's enemy.
The black-robed youth often used this ability to gauge the strength of his opponents, but he never expected to 'foresee' such a possibility with Lin Yuan.
Deep within the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
"Finally, we're safe."
The Ancient Clarity Venerable breathed a sigh of relief. The halt of the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent meant that the consumption caused by its rapid movement had stopped.
The Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent was dozens of times larger than a normal universe, and the amount of Chaos Stones expended by this behemoth with each passing moment was staggering.
If it had continued, even the Ancient Clarity Venerable would have started to feel the pinch.
Just as the Ancient Clarity Venerable was about to resume his closed-door cultivation...
"Ancient Clarity, Ancient Clarity," the black-robed youth's voice called out, and his figure appeared not far away.
"Hmm?" The Ancient Clarity Venerable looked at the black-robed youth, a faint sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
Normally, the black-robed youth would be asleep most of the time and rarely took the initiative to seek him out.
Unless something major happened, like the 'precognition' of the danger brought about by the clash of the two Great Sages not long ago.
"What is it?" the Ancient Clarity Venerable asked immediately.
"It's a big deal. I just felt a life-threatening danger," the black-robed youth said at once.
"Life-threatening danger?" The Ancient Clarity Venerable's heart skipped a beat.
Life-threatening danger? What did that mean?
A danger from which no amount of resistance or evasion would help, and one that couldn't be stopped even by numerous life-saving measures—was that what life-threatening danger meant?
After all his hard work, the Ancient Clarity Venerable had finally managed to relocate the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent to this place, only to face life-threatening danger upon arrival?
"Actually, it's not that kind of life-threatening danger," the black-robed youth explained, seeing the Ancient Clarity Venerable's reaction. He then narrated everything he had foreseen about the danger posed by Lin Yuan.
"Ancient Clarity, it's him."
A holographic image appeared before the black-robed youth, depicting the scene of Lin Yuan conversing with the Dominator of Myriad Bends.
"You felt a life-threatening danger from him, and if you become his enemy, death is certain?"
"
Ancient Clarity, the Chaos Honored One, also observed carefully. As the ruler of the Chaos Continent, nothing that happened on this continent could escape his notice.
"An incarnation at the peak of the Path Opening realm?"
Ancient Clarity's expression turned doubtful as he immediately sensed Lin Yuan's strength emanating from this particular incarnation.
"Ancient Clarity, is his true self also a Great Sage?" The black-robed youth asked from the side.
Although his combat strength was almost on par with a Honored One, he was not one himself, and his lower realm prevented him from accurately determining Lin Yuan's true realm.
"No," Ancient Clarity replied.
"He doesn't give me any sense of oppression," the black-robed youth added.
Ancient Clarity shook his head. "If his true self were a Chaos Great Sage, even if it were just an incarnation, the synchronization of their life essences would make it undeniably distinct from a peak Path Opening realm being."
"He's not?" The black-robed youth had expected as much.
Lin Yuan's conversation with the Dominator of Myriad Bends had been about purchasing a 'fragment world' from the Chaos Continent ruled by Ancient Clarity.
If Lin Yuan's true self were a Chaos Great Sage, why would he need to purchase a 'fragment world'? With the power of a Chaos Great Sage, he could easily create a Chaos Continent with a wave of his hand.
"If he's not a Chaos Great Sage, why do I sense such a deadly peril from him?" The black-robed youth was perplexed.
"The danger you 'predict' comes from the future," Ancient Clarity suddenly said, his tone thoughtful.
"Do you mean that he will become a Chaos Great Sage in the future?" The black-robed youth took a deep breath.
Even among Chaos Honored Ones, very few would eventually reach the Great Sage realm. At least, the black-robed youth felt almost no possibility of Ancient Clarity attaining that level.
But Lin Yuan?
Such a strong sense of impending doom implied a significant likelihood of Lin Yuan advancing to the Great Sage realm in the future; it was almost a certainty.
Could a life at the Dominator realm inevitably become a Great Sage?
How was that possible?
Even the heirs cultivated with great effort by those Great Sages themselves would not dare claim that they would definitely become Great Sages!
"That's the only possibility I can think of," Ancient Clarity replied, his thoughts converging.
In fact, there was another thought he didn't voice: that Lin Yuan's eventual attainment of the Great Sage realm would not be that of an ordinary sage.
If he were an ordinary Great Sage, he wouldn't give the black-robed youth such a strong sense of impending doom.
"So, what do we do now?" The black-robed youth asked after a moment's thought.
"What do we do?" Ancient Clarity glanced at the black-robed youth. "We obviously have to try our best to befriend him."
Inside the grand hall.
Lin Yuan and the Dominator of Myriad Bends sat opposite each other.
"All the 'fragment worlds' that meet your requirements, Galaxy, are here. Take your time to choose," the Dominator of Myriad Bends said with a smile as he looked at Lin Yuan.
Floating in front of him were dozens of miniature 'fragment worlds', formed from the huge meteorites that the black-robed youth had shattered earlier.
"They're all suitable," Lin Yuan said, his eyes scanning across each of the fragment worlds.
He had two main requirements for the 'fragment world'. First, the fragment itself shouldn't have too much radiation. After all, it would be the new home of the Human Civilization, and many weak human citizens couldn't withstand the radiation from the Chaotic Void.
Second, the area shouldn't be too small. The Human Civilization had a large population, and Lin Yuan intended to bring out all of humanity.
"What about this 'fragment world'?"
Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on one of the 'fragment worlds'.
This 'fragment world' was quite large, roughly equivalent to one-thousandth the area of the main universe's starry sky.
It was more than enough to accommodate all the citizens of the Human Civilization. Moreover, this 'fragment world' was composed of Starlite Stones.
Starlite Stones were valuable, and while they did emit radiation, it was beneficial radiation that had a great positive impact on the nurturing and growth of life.
"How many Chaos Stones for this 'fragment world'?" Lin Yuan asked.
Among the dozens of fragment worlds presented by the Dominator, this one was the most suitable to serve as the new home for the Human Civilization.
Lin Yuan guessed that this fragment world wouldn't come cheap.
But how much would it cost? He had to ask.
"This 'fragment world' is entirely composed of Starlite Stones. Just the value of the Starlite Stones alone is 800,000 Chaos Stones. The entire 'fragment world' is priced at 1.2 million Chaos Stones," the Dominator of Myriad Bends said.
This was a fair price and didn't seem to include any markup.
Starlite Stones were considered precious minerals, and a large fragment like this would start at 800,000 Chaos Stones.
"1.2 million Chaos Stones?" Lin Yuan shook his head. "Forget it, that's too expensive."
Even if he sold the Chaos Realm secret treasure left by Cang Wei Yang, it wouldn't be worth 1.2 million Chaos Stones. The total wealth accumulated by the Human Civilization was even less, amounting to less than 200,000 Chaos Stones.
This was the sum of all their resources, including planets and secret realms, after the Human Civilization had unified the universe.
Lin Yuan's budget was between 100,000 and 150,000 Chaos Stones.
1.2 million Chaos Stones was just too much.
"It is a bit expensive," the Dominator of Myriad Bends nodded. The value of this 'fragment world' was evident, and even if he wanted to lower the price, he couldn't reduce it by much.
"Galaxy, take a look at these other 'fragment worlds'," the Dominator of Myriad Bends said as he began to introduce other options to Lin Yuan.
Suddenly, at that moment.
The Dominator of Myriad Bends heard a voice in his ear.
"Give him the Starlite Stone 'fragment world'!"
