Lin Fan wasn't aware of what was happening outside because the moment the ball of golden light had entered his forehead, he had been pulled into another realm.
It was complete darkness around him for a few seconds before there was a golden glow that appeared in front of him.
This golden glow started out as a ball and it gave off the same strange feeling as the ball of golden light that had been flicked to him, but then it quickly changed forward. It continued to grow in size until it took the form of a human.
This figure was very familiar because Lin Fan had just seen it outside.
This was the transparent figure that had been floating above the coffin outside in the main hall. However, the one thing that was different was that this figure was much younger compared to the one that was outside.
The one that was outside was already in their mid fifties, already looking like they were in their twilight years, but now this figure in front of him looked to be around twenty years old, in the prime of his life.
That figure had a smile on his face as he asked, "Well, are you surprised by what you see?"
Lin Fan had a calm look on his face as he asked, "Senior, what is this inheritance that you are giving me?"
The figure had the same smile on his face as he said, "Well, to put it simply, I'm giving you a chance."
Lin Fan purposefully revealed a confused look as he asked, "A chance? What do you mean by that?"
The figure replied, "To put it simply, I'll give you a piece of my essence soul and how much you can understand from it will depend on you."
Lin Fan gave a cold snort, but he revealed a grateful look as he asked, "Senior, you're willing to do this for me?"
The figure's smile became even brighter as he said, "There's no use in me keeping this anymore since my time has already passed. As long as you're willing to do one thing for me, I don't mind leaving my inheritance to you."
Lin Fan immediately asked, "What do you need me to do?"
The figure's smile disappeared when he heard this and he gave a sigh before saying, "As you can see, there was a disaster that befell this realm. As long as you promise to help me solve this disaster and save the people of this realm, I will gladly leave my inheritance to you."
Lin Fan gave a cold laugh on the inside once again, but he gave a nod and said, "Of course. I have seen what has happened to this realm and I want to help these people."
The figure once again revealed a smile and gave an appreciative nod before saying, "I want to thank you on their behalf. Now, I'll give you my inheritance."
But before the figure could do a thing, Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Senior, if I may, can I ask what your name is?"
The figure was caught off guard by this, but he didn't seem to see any danger in revealing his name, so he said, "My name is Qin Shi Huang."
Lin Fan gave a nod on the surface, but deep down he almost couldn't help breaking out in laughter.
This name didn't have a meaning in this world, but in Lin Fan's previous world, it was a name that everyone in his country knew since it was the first emperor of that country. It was a name that people feared and respected, which was why it had been passed down through the ages.
But here, there was no meaning to it which was why this figure wasn't afraid to say it.
Rather, the figure had been watching Lin Fan's face to see if there was a reaction after he had said this, almost as if he was expecting something. However, Lin Fan was able to keep his calm, that was until he said something else.
Lin Fan looked right at the figure in the air with a calm look that didn't show anything, so the figure couldn't see anything, but then he said, "Should I address you as Huang Di as well then?"
Instead of being surprised, that figure that had called himself Qin Shi Huang looked at Lin Fan with a faint smile and said, "You can call me that. So what should I call you then?"
Lin Fan revealed a smile as well as he said, "You can just call me Cao Cao."
The figure looked at Lin Fan for a bit before breaking out in laughter and saying, "I never thought that I would meet a comrade in a place like this."
Lin Fan just smiled without saying a thing.
After the figure had laughed for a bit, his eyes suddenly turned sharp as he looked at Lin Fan and said, "So how much do you know?"
Lin Fan didn't say a thing, but he could feel that there was a tense atmosphere that appeared around him.
Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't willing to talk, that person wasn't disappointed as he began talking to himself, "Well, I'm sure you know that I'm your senior already, but you don't seem that surprised at all. Shouldn't you be more in awe at the fact that there is someone else from your old world that's here with you?"
Lin Fan still didn't say anything as he watched the figure floating there talking to himself, but during this time, he had already clenched his fists and had started gathering his laws like he was prepared to fight.
Seeing that Lin Fan still wouldn't say a thing, that person no longer kept talking to himself and turned to Lin Fan. After a moment's pause, he said with a serious look, "I need your body."
Lin Fan was taken aback by how easily this transmigration senior of his had admitted it, but he had already expected that this was the case which was why he wasn't fully surprised.
Lin Fan then asked, "What do you need it for?"
The figure said, "To take revenge on the gods of course."
Lin Fan was completely taken aback this time since he couldn't even begin to understand what this transmigration senior of his had said.
Seeing how confused Lin Fan was, the figure started saying, "It's very simple, I want to take revenge on the people who brought me here, used me, and then threw me away." There was a bitter look that appeared on his face when he said this, but then he said to Lin Fan, "I suggest you join me before they use and throw you away as well."
Lin Fan knitted his brows and asked, "It was the gods that summoned us here?"
The figure shook his head when he heard this and said, "You don't even know this? It's really strange what kind of things you do know and what you don't."
Then after a pause, he said, "Yes, it was the gods of this world that summoned us and they're the same gods that sealed themselves off from the rest of the world. They have something planned, something big and we're the key to all of that, that's why they gave us tools to help us become stronger."
The figure looked right into Lin Fan's eyes and said, "You have one too don't you?"
Even if Lin Fan didn't say anything, the figure could tell from the look that appeared in Lin Fan's eyes that he knew what he was talking about.
Seeing this, the figure continued on to say, "As long as we follow the tool that they sent down to guide us, eventually we'll be led to them, but that isn't a good thing."
Lin Fan knitted his brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The figure gave a sigh, but he also didn't answer the questions as he asked another question, "How many times do you think someone has been summoned from our world?"
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this, but he didn't say a thing.
The figure didn't mind as he continued, "Including you, it will have been ten times. Now, how many do you think they've taken the systems back from?"
Lin Fan once again didn't answer, but there was a bad feeling that came from the bottom of his stomach.
The figure once again didn't mind as he continued, "Excluding you, it will have been nine times."
At this, his eyes became very serious as he said, "What do you think happens to all the people who have their systems taken from them?"
Lin Fan felt a chill run down his back as the feeling became even worse in his stomach.
The figure didn't need to give Lin Fan an answer this time since he could see that Lin Fan had figured it out for himself. Instead, the figure asked, "Now that you know all of this, are you willing to help me take down those selfish gods?"
If it was anyone else, perhaps revealing all of this would have been useful, but Lin Fan had much more information than other people. When he talked to the little girl and the whale, as well as the elders, he had learned quite a bit about this person in front of him, which included his personality…
Seeing that Lin Fan was hesitating, the figure had a hopeful look, but that completely disappeared with Lin Fan's next words.
Lin Fan asked, "Then if I were to give you my body, when would you give it back?"
