Good heavens.

Luckily, I got here early!

This guy had silently recultivated all the way to the Qi Refining Ninth Heaven.

And he even had an old grandpa at his side to offer advice and schemes.

Had I come a few days later...

He might really have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, escaped Azure Cloud Island, and from then on, the vast sea would let fish leap and the high sky let birds fly.

Besides.

Look at the system's evaluation of him: Great Emperor Potential.

Good heavens.

Tribulation Stage Earth Immortals were divided into several ranks.

Three-Tribulation Earth Immortals, Six-Tribulation Earth Immortals, Nine-Tribulation Earth Immortals—every three heavenly tribulations they overcame brought a qualitative leap in strength.

But a Great Emperor!

They were supreme beings who had passed thirty-six lightning tribulations and reached the ultimate realm of Earth Immortals, enough to stand invincible beneath heaven.

Even if enemies descended from the heavens, if Immortal Realm experts crossed domains to arrive.

Ordinary Heavenly Immortals, even True Immortals, could be suppressed with a flick of a finger before a Great Emperor. They were monstrously powerful!

Lin Yan truly was the Protagonist favored by fate.

He actually possessed Great Emperor Potential!

If he escaped, then within a few years, he might become the final straw that crushed the Wang Family.

Wang Mu took a deep breath, forcing out a smile and trying his best to appear kind.

But that smile.

In Lin Yan's eyes, was savage and terrifying, like a demon baring its fangs in a grin.

"That beast is smiling so sinisterly and viciously. What scheme is he brewing now?"

"He already stole my Yan'er!"

"He crippled my cultivation!"

"And now, he still refuses to let me go!" Lin Yan roared inwardly.

"Holy Son!"

At that moment, the fat manager beside them stepped forward with a face full of fawning smiles. "Following your orders, this lowly one has properly entertained this trash for the past three years!"

"Are you satisfied? Should I increase the intensity? I guarantee I won't disappoint you, Holy Son!"

Wang Mu: ??????

Looking at the dead fatso's smiling face, Wang Mu had ten thousand curses he wanted to unleash.

Good heavens.

What a pig teammate!

His belly full of explanations had not even made it out.

And this bastard directly doubled the hatred. Did he think my villain persona wasn't stable enough?!

Although Lin Yan was still kneeling respectfully on the ground, the hatred in his Eyes could no longer be concealed. It was practically overflowing.

Wang Mu only felt his scalp go numb and chills run through his entire body.

"You may get lost."

Wang Mu Looked towards the Fat Manager beside him and spoke indifferently.

The manager froze. Seeing Wang Mu's icy gaze, then recalling the Holy Son's infamous reputation, he could not help but shudder. "Y-yes, yes, yes. This subordinate obeys."

Having said that.

The manager curled himself into a ball and rolled rapidly into the distance.

Until his figure vanished from Wang Mu and Lin Yan's sight, the manager did not dare stand up. It was clear how much he revered and feared Wang Mu.

"Well."

Once the pig teammate had finally left, Wang Mu turned to Lin Yan and forced a smile. "If this Holy Son said..."

"Three years ago."

"That I stole your Dao Companion and crippled your cultivation for your own good, would you believe me?"

Lin Yan: ???????

You beast!!!

Would you like to listen carefully to what kind of...

Nonsense!!!

Looking at Wang Mu's utterly sincere face, Lin Yan felt a lump of rage lodged in his chest, so angry he nearly spat blood.

You stole my Dao Companion?

You crippled my cultivation?

And you fucking tell me it was for my own good?

Good my grandmother's leg!

Do you believe that yourself when you say it?

If circumstances had not been stronger than him.

Lin Yan truly wanted to rise up and fight this beast to mutual destruction.

But when he raised his head and saw the little golden bird above Wang Mu's shoulder, the fury and Killing intent in his Eyes immediately vanished into hiding.

As long as the green hills remained, there would be no shortage of firewood!

Right now.

He had to endure!

I'll endure!!!

Lin Yan forcibly squeezed out a smile. "I believe you!!"

"No, you don't."

Looking at Lin Yan's bloodshot eyes, Wang Mu sighed. "I can tell that you resent me in your heart. It's fine. I don't blame you."

Lin Yan: "..."

How shameless!

You don't blame me? Why the fuck, thank you!

"Brother Lin!"

Wang Mu's gaze burned as he heavily slapped Lin Yan's shoulder. "Do you know that you are an immortal cultivation genius unseen in ten thousand ages?"

Lin Yan: ???

To be honest, I only learned about this matter from Teacher two months ago.

What?

Were you going to say that you already knew three years ago?

Seeing Lin Yan's disbelief, Wang Mu sighed. "Brother Lin, you possess the strongest fire-attribute saint physique between heaven and earth—the Emperor Flame Saint Physique."

"This physique can devour all fires in the world and increase cultivation, but it carries the danger of setting oneself ablaze."

"Only those with an unwavering Dao Heart can control it."

"Three years ago, you were a top-tier prodigy of the Inner Sect. Young and successful, with a beauty in your arms, high-spirited and full of vigor, you had never experienced setbacks. How could your Dao Heart have been tempered?"

"Gentleness is a hero's grave. Your Dao Companion was lazy, pleasure-seeking, and vain; the first time she saw me, she threw herself into my arms."

"A woman like that would only affect the speed at which you awakened your physique and devoured flames!"

"You couldn't handle her!"

"As the saying goes: when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a person, it must first torment his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, cripple his cultivation, and sleep with his girlfriend!"

"Brother Zhao, everything I did was for your own good!"

Looking at Wang Xiu's expression of 'heartbroken anguish,' Lin Yan was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Teacher."

Lin Yan secretly said in his heart, "Was what he said true or false?"

Dan Xuan's voice rang out in his mind. "As far as I know, it is indeed quite dangerous for the Emperor Flame Saint Physique to devour flames. It is a nine-deaths-one-life ordeal. The stronger the flame devoured, the higher the requirements for one's Dao Heart."

"You have suffered every humiliation over these past three years and borne disgrace with a heavy burden. The tempering of your Dao Heart has indeed produced remarkable results."

"However."

"To temper your Dao Heart, he crippled your cultivation and stole your Dao Companion..."

"Do young people nowadays all know how to play like this?"

The corner of Lin Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

He looked at Wang Xiu and said, "But Holy Son, have you ever considered that if I had a choice, I would rather not awaken this so-called saint physique than lose the beloved childhood sweetheart I grew up with?"

"Besides."

Lin Yan looked at Wang Xiu suspiciously. "My Emperor Flame Saint Physique only successfully awakened several days ago. How did you know about my physique three years ago?"

"Well."

"Well."

Wang Xiu's Pupils contracted slightly as his thoughts raced through his mind.

At this moment.

Under the pressure of this tremendous crisis, he felt that even Einstein's brain could not turn faster than his.

A long time passed.

Spiritual Light flashed through Wang Xiu's mind, and he suddenly saw the light.

A helpless smile appeared on his face. "Fine. Since we've already reached this point, I won't hide it from you any longer."

"Brother Zhao!"

"Do you know that our world will soon face a calamity of utter destruction!"
