490 Heavenly Emperor (2)
Lin Bei pursed his lips and stopped talking.
The corners of the Heavenly Emperor’s mouth curled up as he said softly, “So, don’t think that you’re smug just because you’re the Son of Heaven and Earth. There are many existences stronger than you in this world.”
“Hmph, how long has it been since the era of the Heavenly Court you mentioned?”
Lin Bei snorted and asked calmly.
“Hmm… Nine Heavenly Mights ago.”
The Heavenly Emperor pondered.
“How… how long?!”
When Lin Bei heard this, his eyes widened.
Regarding the unit of time, he had previously learned from Mengli. In the universe, time units were divided from low to high into Epoch, Star Age, and Heavenly Might. Among them, 1 Star Age = 10,000 Epochs, and 1 Heavenly Might = 10,000 Star Ages.
One epoch was equivalent to 10,000 years. In that case, didn’t the nine Heavenly Mights mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor mean that the Heavenly Court Era was 9 trillion years ago?
WTF???
Lin Bei was stunned.
Wasn’t this too long?
Most importantly, the Heavenly Emperor was still alive?
This lifespan…
Lin Bei was envious.
In his opinion, 9 trillion years of life was no different from eternity.
But then again, how could you compare what happened 9 trillion years ago to what happened now?
Lin Bei complained in his heart.
“Hehe, scared?”
“I was indeed shocked. I’m only in my early twenties. Given so much time, I’ve definitely surpassed the Great Dao Realm.”
Why did he feel that this kid was mocking him?
However, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lin Bei. Instead, he shook his head with a smile. “I think highly of you. How about this? Join the Heaven Branch. This is also an opportunity for you.”
“Sure.”
Lin Bei nodded directly. He actually yearned for the Harmonious Development Group very much. There were too many good things inside, and they dazzled him. If he could join the Heaven Branch, he would definitely be like a fish in water in the Harmonious Development Group in the future.
What’s more, he had already agreed to join the Heaven Branch with Lan after settling the matters at hand. Not to mention anything else, after joining the Heaven Branch, he could enjoy discounts in the Harmonious Development Group’s camp.
Even the most ordinary members of the Heavenly Team could enjoy a 20% discount. Such benefits were simply superb for Lin Bei, who was prepared to shop crazily in the Harmonious Development Group!
“Haha! That’s great!”
Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor’s words, Lan, who was at the side, became excited. He went forward and patted Lin Bei’s shoulder. He said excitedly, “With Team Leader’s personal permission, we don’t even have to go through the procedures now. Congratulations on joining the Heaven Branch! From now on, you’ll follow me. I believe in your brother’s ability. In at most a hundred years, you’ll be able to become a deacon of the Heaven Branch like me! At that time, you’ll have a good life!”
Lan had high hopes for Lin Bei.
“Cough, cough.”
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor coughed and looked at Lan, who was dancing excitedly, with a strange expression. He said, “Um… Lin Bei, as the Son of Heaven and Earth, you have grasped the origin inheritance of all the elders and even transformed the power of the four Saints into a higher level power. Therefore… I’ve decided to make an exception and promote you to an elder of the Heaven Branch. Your code name is Heaven Splitting. What do you think?”
Lan: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
The smile on Lan’s face suddenly froze.
He patted his face. It hurt. He wasn’t dreaming or hearing things!
What did the team leader just say?
This kid… was an elder?
“Sigh, I’m sorry, Brother. In the future… Looks like I still have to protect you.”
At this moment, Lin Bei, who had come back to his senses, smiled and placed his palm on the already dumbfounded Lan’s shoulder. As he patted it gently, he sighed. “Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly.”
“Well, I—”
“No need to thank me. I understand.”
Lin Bei smiled.
Lan’s mouth twitched.
“No. This is the code name I personally gave you. It can’t be changed. Unless… you want to start from the bottom.”
“Forget it then. Elder Heaven Splitting it is. I’m not picky.”
Lin Bei hurriedly waved his hand.
“Hehe, this is also for your own good. I gave you this code name. I want you to cultivate hard and strive to step into the Heaven Splitting Realm as soon as possible to share my burden.”
“Alright, but what mission do you plan to arrange for me? It actually needs the strength of the Heaven Splitting Realm.”
Lin Bei nodded and asked curiously.
Previously, when he accepted the inheritance, the 28 Constellations had told him that he was only qualified to look for them after he stepped into the Heaven Splitting Realm. Now that the Heavenly Emperor had mentioned the Heaven Splitting Realm, he could not help but be even more curious.
This threshold was too high.
That was the Heaven Splitting Realm. An existence that could shatter the world with a single punch.
So far, apart from the 28 Constellations in the Nine Fields Mystic Realm and the Heavenly Emperor in front of him, Lin Bei had never encountered anyone who had reached this level.
The strongest was only at the Original Realm.
He did not dare to think about the Heaven Splitting Realm.
“Hehe, you’ll naturally know when you reach the Heaven Splitting Realm.”
The Heavenly Emperor smiled and shook his head, not intending to explain to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei was dissatisfied.
What riddler?
Fine, don’t say it!
I don’t want to know yet!
Lin Bei pursed his lips.
“Um… Big Boss Heavenly Emperor, look at me. I’m also prepared to join the Heaven Branch. Why don’t… you give me an elder position?”
At this moment, the silent Dugu Xing suddenly leaned forward and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gazes landed on him. Dugu Xing’s smile froze and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Bei had a strange expression and thought to himself, “Is this old fellow… serious?”
Lan was very indignant. Damn, what was this fellow thinking? Lin Bei was able to be promoted to an elder of the Heaven Branch because of his special identity and unparalleled talent. What right do you have, old fellow? With your strength at the fifth level of the Order Law realm that you have just recovered?
Stop fooling around!
When the Heavenly Emperor heard this, he did not speak for a long time.
He sized Dugu Xing up thoughtfully.
Dugu Xing felt uncomfortable under his gaze and hurriedly said, “Um… I was just saying. If I can’t be an elder, I’m fine with the deacon. I… I’m not picky.”
The Heavenly Emperor remained silent.
At the side, Lan’s eyebrows twitched.
Damn, you’re still not picky?
Deacon! Do you know what a Deacon is? I’ve been working hard for tens of thousands of years before I finally became a Deacon. You old thing, do you think deacons are cabbages?!
“Yes… I’ll allow it.”
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke and nodded.
“What?”
Lan, who was about to hit Dugu Xing, suddenly froze.
The Heavenly Emperor… actually agreed?
This fellow… had become a deacon?
What the hell!
Lan instantly felt unbalanced.
However, the other party was the Heavenly Emperor, the leader of the Heaven Branch. He did not dare to say anything.
As if seeing through Lan’s dissatisfaction, the Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, “He’s the reincarnation of the jinx star of the Heavenly Court and has been reincarnated for tens of thousands of years. Now that he’s finally washed away his karma and returned as my subordinate, I naturally can’t treat him unfairly. If not for his strength being too low, with his previous position, he would be enough to be ranked among the elders.”
Lan opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
Was this what it meant to have connections?
I… I feel bitter.
“Lan, don’t be discouraged. Support Lin Bei with Dugu Xing. It won’t be long before you can also become an elder.”
“This… Thank you, Heaven… No, thank you, Team Leader!”
Lan’s face was filled with joy. At this moment, the dissatisfaction in his heart instantly disappeared.
Although it was just an empty promise, the Heavenly Emperor was the team leader. Moreover, Lin Bei was someone the Heavenly Emperor had taken a fancy to. As long as he worked by Lin Bei’s side well, his future would be bright!
Thinking of this, Lan was extremely excited.
“Alright, the two of you go back to the camp first. I want to bring Lin Bei somewhere.”
With that, without waiting for everyone to react, he raised his hand and waved it. The world changed. Lan and Dugu Xing had already appeared at the entrance of the Harmony Development Group’s camp. As for Lin Bei, he was enveloped by a golden light that tore through countless spaces and flew towards another world at an extremely fast speed.
