Chapter 1149 Special stories (3)
Once he finished his story, the old man suddenly stood up.
Lin Fan and the others were still lost deep in thought so they remained seated at first, but they also made to stand up when they saw the old man walking away from them.
However, before they could stand up, the old man suddenly said, "There's no need for you to move, I'm just making some tea for us. It's been a long time and I'm sure that your throats are parched after that."
The old man walked over to a table in the room and took out a tea set along with some tea leaves.
With a wave of his hand, there was hot water that appeared out of thin air that dropped into the teapot like it was nothing.
But when Lin Fan's group saw it, they couldn't help knitting their brows.
They could sense both water laws and fire laws coming from this water when it appeared.
The old man had gathered moisture out of the air to create this water and then used tiny flames to heat it up before dropping it into the teacup.
To do this, one needed very precise control of both laws to perfectly control the water and heat it up. Unless one was very skilled with these laws, it was impossible for them to use it like this.
It seemed that those that could reach the God Realm were all geniuses.
They were able to use laws like this even if it wasn't their main law.
After all, they knew that it wasn't this old man's main law just based on the feeling of the water.
They knew what the feeling of the God Realm was like since they had experienced it many times since coming to this World of Gods. They didn't get this same feeling from the water that he had made appear.
They couldn't help wondering just what law this old man had cultivated to reach the God Realm.
As if he could tell what they were thinking, the old man suddenly said, "Spatial laws, that is what I am the god of."
When they heard this, they couldn't help looking at the old man with shocked looks.
Based on what they had learned from him…since he was the God of Spatial Laws, then that meant that he should have been the one that created all of the teleportation arrays that they had taken.
But for Lin Fan, there was a different meaning.
Since he knew that there could only be one God Realm Expert for each law…then for the system to have that defense system that used God Realm spatial laws…there was only one explanation…
When the old man came back with the tea, before he could even sit down, Lin Fan asked, "Are you familiar with something called the system?"
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with one brow raised.
After looking at Lin Fan for a bit, he suddenly revealed a smile and said in a soft voice, "System, what a nostalgic word that is."
Lin Fan immediately knitted his brows when he heard this.
He completely focused his mind and waited for the old man to speak.
The old man just stroked his chin and slowly said, "The system, it's been a long time since I've heard that term. However, I can say that I'm familiar with it since I was a part of the group that developed it."
When the old man admitted it himself, Lin Fan couldn't help being shocked.
After all, he never thought that the old man would admit it that easily.
But before he could say anything, the old man said, "While I was a part of the team that developed it, I didn't know what it was actually used for."
Lin Fan immediately closed his mouth and looked at the old man with narrowed eyes, as if he was trying to figure out if this old man was lying or not.
But in the end, he couldn't help giving a sigh.
That was because he could tell that this old man was telling the truth.
It was clear by the expression on his face that he didn't know any more about this matter.
Not to mention…he might not even tell them even if he asked. Lin Fan had no way of forcing him to answer, the old man had already made this very clear.
So Lin Fan could only give a sigh and take a sip of the tea.
The others also sipped their tea since they wanted to take a break to calm themselves down.
But then the old man suddenly said, "Of course, the one that took that system away should be someone that you're familiar with. He's the one that gave you your powers."
As soon as he said this, Lin Fan couldn't help doing a spit take with the tea.
After a second, it was the same with the other three.
It was a good thing that the old man reacted in time.
The old man casually waved his hand and water laws controlled the tea that they had spat out.
With that water law, the old man controlled the tea to fly back into their cups before saying, "Even if you were surprised, that wasn't very polite."
But none of them were in a mood to play with him.
That was because for Angela and the others, they assumed that what this old man was saying was that he knew the master of the store.
But for Lin Fan who knew that there wasn't a master, this old man was probably talking about the one who had brought him to this world and gave him this system.
He had never thought that he would get this kind of clue here, not to mention how casually it had been brought up.
The old man looked at them and was surprised to see how surprised they were, so he slowly said, "Don't you know who gave you that power inside of your dantian? The strange golden energy, right?"
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
After all, the golden energy wasn't just something that he had obtained by chance in those ruins in the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
He had found that this golden energy was what the system was comprised of when he had gone to the realm that the representation of the system was. So he knew that whoever was the god of this golden energy was also the one behind the system.
This person was also the person that the old man was talking about.
The old man waited to see how Lin Fan would react.
In the end, Lin Fan just simply shook his head and said, "I have never met the person you're thinking of. The power that you're referring to was found by me inside some ruins."
The old man narrowed his eyes, but he could tell that Lin Fan was telling the truth.
However, what confused him was how the others looked at Lin Fan.
It was like they were wondering why he was lying.
In this case, which one of them was telling the truth…?
But in the end, the old man didn't dwell on this.
After all, he knew that this was all part of that person's plan, so he wouldn't interfere with it.
The old man gave a sigh and said, "Alright, then let's drop this matter. I have nothing else to tell you, so let's go and have a meal first before settling you in. I'll send you off tomorrow morning."
Even though it was the World of Gods, it still followed the same day night cycle as the mortal world.
After all, that was part of the law of the mortal world and there were gods associated with those laws, so this didn't change in the World of Gods.
But Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.
After all, he wanted to keep going as soon as possible.
This old man had said that he would receive some information at each of the places he would be sent to. Just the information that he had received here was this shocking and gave him clues as to who the owner of the system was.
So he wanted to go to the next place as soon as possible and receive the information there.
Lin Fan said, "I want to go right now."
The old man and the others were all caught off guard by this.
They never thought that Lin Fan would be in such a rush.
The old man took a moment to come back to his senses before saying, "I've already prepared a banquet for you all. Are you sure that you don't want to stay and try some of the delicacies of our World of Gods?"
When Angela heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
If there was one thing that could move her, it was without a doubt delicious food.
But Lin Fan said, "No, I want to…"
Before he could finish, his words were suddenly stuck in his mouth and he couldn't get them out.
That was because he felt a chill coming from beside him.
He didn't need to turn to know where it was coming from, but when he turned to look over, he saw that Angela was glaring at him.
He could already guess what she was thinking…so in the end, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, we'll stay."
The old man revealed a smile after seeing this.
He could easily tell who wore the pants in this relationship.
In his youth, he also had many relationships like this, but now that he was an old man, all he could think was…
"This was youth."
