When he saw the golden palace in front of him, Lin Fan couldn't help being shocked.
That was because he could tell that this golden palace wasn't built with any kind of material, but rather it was a building that was constructed with pure laws.
As for the laws that it used, it was the strange golden law that he had found in the ruins back on the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
Even now, that strange golden law was still inside of his dantian, wrapped around the suns that were there.
But this golden palace in front of him, he could feel the power coming from it.
The strange golden laws that were used to create this golden palace were much stronger than any other same laws that he had encountered before. Even his own golden laws far paled in comparison to the ones of this golden palace.
This level of power…it was strangely familiar.
It was similar to the spatial laws that were used by the system when its defense systems were activated.
Now that he had reached the Ruler Realm, Lin Fan was certain that this wasn't the kind of power that could be released in the Ruler Realm. He was certain that these spatial laws used by the store weren't in the Ruler Realm, but rather in the God Realm.
Only laws in the God Realm would be able to release that kind of power.
So he knew that whoever this golden palace belonged to, they would be someone in the God Realm.
The only God Realm being that he had faced before was the Outer God Fragment that he had faced before…so could it be that this was part of another Outer God Fragment?
If the strange golden law was indeed from another universe, then that would make sense since he had never found anyone using the same law in this universe.
After being dazed for a bit, Lin Fan still decided to approach the golden palace in the end.
After all, the system must have sent him here for some purpose.
If he just stood here without doing a thing, then that would go against the reason why he even came here in the first place.
The system had asked him if he wanted to know the truth, so there must be the 'truth' somewhere in this place.
If he didn't do a thing and just stood there, then it would be a waste of this precious opportunity.
Not to mention, when he was sent to cultivation realms like this, he would have the ability to revive. He had also confirmed it with the system before leaving, so he knew that he wouldn't be in any real danger even if he died.
With that, there was no reason for him not to explore.
But after he took a few steps forward, there was a trembling that came from under him.
This trembling became stronger and stronger until even the golden palace in front of him was trembling.
Lin Fan immediately raised his guard, but he didn't do a thing as he waited to see where this trembling would lead.
After the trembling continued for some time, the golden palace finally reacted. After the trembling stopped, the gates of the golden palace suddenly opened and there was a figure that flew out.
It floated forward for a bit before stopping in front of Lin Fan, floating there in the air.
At first, Lin Fan couldn't see the real appearance of this golden figure because of the golden light that they released. However, after they came closer, Lin Fan was able to see their real face.
The moment that he did, his chin couldn't help dropping.
That was because it was like looking into a mirror.
This golden figure had the exact same appearance as him, only he was completely golden.
It was like a gold statue version of himself.
Lin Fan just stared at this golden version of himself for a long time before finally opening his mouth to say, "Who are you?"
The golden version of him couldn't help revealing an amused look when he heard this before asking back, "Who do you think I am?"
Even the voice that the golden version of him spoke in was his voice.
It was like this was a perfect copy of him.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the golden version of himself and after a long period of silence, he slowly said, "The system…?"
There was an upwards inflection to his voice that made it seem like he was asking a question, but the look in his eyes made it seem like he was already almost certain of his answer.
The golden version of him looked at him for a bit before slowly giving a nod.
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this before looking around and asking, "Where is this place?"
The golden version of him gave a shrug before saying, "Who knows?"
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
He could tell from the voice of the golden version of him that he did know where they were, but he just wasn't telling him.
Still, Lin Fan knew that there was nothing to gain from antagonizing the golden version of him.
If he didn't want to say anything, he couldn't force him to say anything.
After all, he could feel the power that was coming from the golden version of him. It was the same power that the golden palace had, showing that the system was indeed in the God Realm, or at least possessed power in the God Realm.
Force really wasn't an option for him.
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before asking, "What do you want? Why did you bring me here?"
The golden version of him didn't answer at first, but then all of a sudden, that golden version of him gave a sigh. He shook his head before saying, "It's too early to even bring you here, but there's no choice. The Outers have made their move, so we can only respond in kind."
Lin Fan knitted his brows once more when he heard this.
He had already thought that it was strange that the Outers had been cooperating with the Beast Race, but it turned out that it was more than that. The Outers had gone against some kind of plan and had made a move ahead of time.
But he didn't say a thing as he waited for the golden version of himself to explain things.
In the end, the golden version of himself didn't explain anything and just changed the topic.
"I need to send you to a special place now so that you can gain the power that you need to face the Outers." The golden version of him said in a simple voice.
When Lin Fan heard this, he once again deeply knitted his brows, but this time he asked, "Where are you sending me now?"
The golden version of him said with a smile, "It's the place that you've been waiting to go to, the God Realm."
"Huh?" That was all Lin Fan could say in response to this.
He had already learned that the God Realm existed from the fragments of the gods of the five sacred beast races. But he had also learned that this God Realm had been sealed for some unknown reason, so it should be impossible for him to access it.
But now the system was saying that it could send him to the God Realm?
Was this a joke or did the system really have this ability?
And if it had this ability, just how was it linked to the God Realm being closed in the first place?
The system could see the doubts in his eyes, but he didn't answer a single thing.
The golden version of him just turned around and said, "You'll find the answers that you want soon enough. In time, you will understand why we did all of this."
Lin Fan once again deeply knitted his brows after hearing this, but he didn't get a chance to say anything.
Before he could even react, the golden version of himself was already floating back into the golden palace.
But before the golden version of himself could enter the golden palace, he suddenly turned around as if he had forgotten something. He raised his hand and there was a ball of golden energy that appeared.
With a flick of his hand, that golden energy suddenly flew out towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan wasn't able to react in time as that golden energy suddenly entered his body.
When it did, it felt like his body was about to be ripped apart and he fell to the ground in pain. However, he could tell that this golden energy wasn't bad for him, rather it was currently rebuilding his body to make it even stronger.
The golden version of him looked at him with a smile before saying, "How strong you become will all depend on you. I hope that you will not disappoint."
Then without caring for Lin Fan's response, he entered the golden palace and the doors closed behind him.
Lin Fan was just left there on the ground, writhing in pain as the golden energy refined his body.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the gates of the golden palace, with his eyes filling with determination.
The way that the golden version of him had said that, it was almost like he was challenging him.
That had ignited the flames inside of Lin Fan which made him even more determined to pass this test.
In the end, he wanted to punch the system in the face if he could!
