But that would mean he would have to abandon Angela, Momonga, and Yuki since it would be impossible for them to hide themselves there.
Even if they were Rulers, when they came across other Rulers, their disguises would surely be seen through.
He couldn't bear to leave them after everything that they had been through, especially Angela…
So what should he do?
Should he look for them to protect him and see if he could weather the storm that came?
In the long run, that would be the worse choice of the two since there was no way that this would be sustainable.
After all, there would be more and more people that would come for him and eventually he would be revealed to be working with non-humans. They could only do so much without revealing themselves after all.
As Lin Fan was debating what choice to make, there was a sudden notification from the system that pulled him out of his thoughts. But the moment that he saw this notification, he was suddenly shocked.
That was because this notification was related to his dilemma…
No, it was better to say that this notification was giving him the answer to his dilemma.
This was a notification asking Lin Fan to upgrade the store which he hadn't done in a long time. He had actually completely forgotten about it since he didn't feel like there was anything useful that he could gain from upgrading the store.
But now, it was offering something that would solve his problems.
If he upgraded the store, it would unlock an upgrade to the employee system that would allow them to hide their aura regardless of who the other side was. According to the system, the only people who would be able to see through this camouflage were those in the God Realm.
Lin Fan might doubt many things, but the system was something that he would never doubt.
This system was his greatest supporter in this world he had reincarnated and he never suspected its abilities. So as long as it said that it was capable of doing something, he would never doubt it.
So with this, his doubts were solved and he was able to go with the Lin Astral Emperor to the Lin Astral Empire.
But there was still a doubt that hadn't been solved…
Why did this sudden notification pop up?
It wasn't even a notification for a mission, it was just a sudden notification asking him if he wanted to upgrade the store which by no means seemed normal. Not to mention that it had provided him with the exact solution to the problem that he had been facing…
It was almost as if the system was guiding him towards something.
This was the doubt that he had since he had been on the Blue Star Planet.
After all, the missions that the system had been giving him almost seemed like they always had some kind of goal in mind. It was almost as if the system had been able to predict what would happen in each scenario, so it guided him along the best path.
But if that was the case, didn't that mean that there was someone who was controlling the system?
This was a system that contained God Realm energy according to Angela and Momonga, so the one that controlled it would definitely be a god…
As far as he knew, gods should have completely disappeared from this current world.
If there was still one god that was left, then what did they want with him that they would bring him to this world and give him this system?
In short, there seemed to be a big plot that was revolving around him…
Still, since he wasn't able to figure this out now, Lin Fan did the only thing that he could do.
He agreed to the upgrade and in a matter of seconds, the system had finished upgrading.
Now he was able to bring Angela, Momonga, and Yuki along with him to the Lin Astral Empire.
There was no need for Momonga to stay at the old store in the Galactic Humanity Alliance since the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms' days were numbered.
They definitely wouldn't be able to bounce back after losing the heads of the four great families and their Stellar Kings, as well as so many Planet Realm Experts.
So Lin Fan nodded and said, "I'll come with you."
The Lin Astral Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this and he gave a clap as he said, "Great! It's been so long since we've all gathered as a family, so I'm looking forward to it!"
But before he could say anything else, Lin Fan suddenly said, "I have my own conditions though."
Everyone suddenly froze and looked at Lin Fan.
At first the Lin Astral Emperor narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan, releasing a bit of his aura to suppress him. However, he saw that Lin Fan didn't back down at all in the face of his Ruler aura, even though it was just a portion of it.
This was something that he couldn't help praising.
It seemed like he had underestimated this descendant of his.
With a satisfied smile, he said with a nod, "Alright, what conditions do you have?"
Everyone couldn't help being more shocked since they never thought that the Lin Astral Emperor would actually agree to this. This was the emperor of an Astral Empire, a real Ruler Expert, this was not someone that one could easily negotiate with.
Lin Fan just calmly looked back and said, "I want to bring some people with me to the Lin Astral Empire."
The Lin Astral Emperor couldn't help raising a brow as he asked, "Is that it?"
Lin Fan was surprised since he had expected some kind of resistance, not this question. Still, he said with a nod, "That's all I want." But then as if he thought of something, he added, "I also want a shop to open a pet shop with."
He couldn't forget about opening a pet shop for the system.
He knew for sure that once he went to the Lin Astral Empire, the system would ask him to find another shop. So he might as well get one directly from the Lin Astral Emperor instead of wasting time finding one on his own.
The Lin Astral Emperor couldn't help staring at Lin Fan again with the same raised brow for a while before suddenly saying, "For someone as bold as you, you really have some humble requests."
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he looked the Lin Astral Emperor right in the eyes.
The Lin Astral Emperor gave a nod and said, "Alright, you can bring whoever you want and I'll have someone prepare a shop for you. That should be enough, right?"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes."
The Lin Astral Emperor then said with a teasing smile, "Is that all you have to say? Is that really how you address a family member?"
Lin Fan was caught off guard by this since he never thought that someone as important as the Lin Astral Emperor would act this way.
Still, since this was what he wanted, Lin Fan said, "Thank you, grandfather."
The Lin Astral Emperor gave a satisfied nod before turning to head back into the ship, while also waving his hand at everyone to get on as well.
But before he took two steps, he suddenly turned around as if he had suddenly remembered something.
He looked around himself before his eyes fell onto Zi Ling.
When his eyes fell onto her, Zi Ling couldn't help trembling.
She knew that what she was waiting for had finally come, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling nervous since it was finally here.
Lin Fan also couldn't help looking at her at the same time as he remembered what he had promised…
He had figured that Zi Ling was related to the Lin Astral Emperor after seeing how she had asked for his help. He was even willing to guess that she was the one that had reported him to him and had been watching over him the entire time.
That was why the cloaked figure that followed Zi Ling had rescued him back in the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
But that didn't change the relationship between them…
The Lin Astral Emperor looked at her for a bit before suddenly revealing a smile and saying, "Xiao Ling, good job protecting Xiao Fan this whole time. We'll be sure to send the reward to your Zi Stellar Kingdom later."
When the Zi Stellar Kingdom group heard this, they couldn't help being filled with excitement.
Even if they were fools, they would be able to tell who this person was since he had already introduced himself to Lin Fan.
The promise of the Lin Astral Emperor to send a reward to the Zi Stellar Kingdom, this would surely raise their status among all the Stellar Kingdoms that were under the Astral Empire.
So they couldn't help being excited.
But for Zi Ling, these words immediately made the expression on her face sink.
These were not the words that she wanted to hear and these words seemed like they were closing the door on what she wanted…
But she wouldn't let what she wanted escape her hands that easily.
So she gave a gulp and took a deep breath before looking up to say, "Your majesty, I wish to follow young master Lin as his maid."
Everyone took a cold breath when they heard this as they looked at her in disbelief.
The Lin Astral Emperor just narrowed his eyes to look at her before saying, "Do you know what you're saying?"
