"Yi Zichen tell you about this too?"

Lin Yuan remained silent.

Lin Yuan's silence further exacerbated Ling Zichen's already irritable state, stemming from the setbacks in her research on the Ecological Battleship and Yi Zichen's sudden self-destruction. She went straight to the point:

"Now that you know about my past, I won't hide anything from you anymore. Someone who has been with me for ten thousand years has indirectly died at your hands. How do you intend to settle this score?"

Lin Yuan:...

Sister, don't you think it's incongruous for someone of your status to say that?

However, on the other hand...

Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

This straightforwardness seems to be Ling Zichen's true personality. In the original work, Ling Zichen would also shed his disguise as the Sea God Pavilion Master when no one was around, and revert to the Ling Zichen from Douluo III, who was praised by Tang Wulin for speaking like a little cannon.

"I respect your hatred for me." Lin Yuan disdained sophistry and belittling Yi Zichen, looking at Ling Zichen with piercing eyes, and said truthfully:

"But I also hope you can understand that in the face of a life-or-death crisis, you should understand the methods I used to resolve this predicament. Frankly speaking, compared to the death of the Deputy Pavilion Master, I would rather see him in front of you, knowing that he went against your wishes and that things were eventually exposed."

Ling Zichen didn't reply. Instead, she stared into Lin Yuan's eyes, which were as bright as stars, intending to use her millennia of experience to thoroughly analyze the person before her.

Lin Yuan's eyes were quite frank, showing no fear of Ling Zichen's direct gaze.

After a moment, Ling Zichen withdrew his aggressive stance and nodded, saying:

"Then I'll put aside your conversation with Yi Zichen for now. The reason I called you here is actually to consider how to arrange your life at the Shrek Academy."

"Arrange?"

"Isn't this a bit too complicated?"

Lin Yuan thought about it and realized that there was no need for him to stay at Shrek like a shut-in. In terms of life energy, Tianlong Planet in the Longma Galaxy was far more abundant than Douluo Planet, and in terms of openness, the world on Sin Planet was much broader than that of the Federation.

Immediately, Lin Yuan shook his head:

"Don't worry, my main focus for the next few years will be outside, not inside the Academy. This isn't out of dissatisfaction with Shrek; I would have made the same choice even at the Federation First Academy."

"Outside, do you mean the Sin Planet, or the Longma Galaxy?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Zichen's voice turned icy cold once more:

"Kid, although you have a record of defeating Titled Douluo, your physical condition cannot be hidden from me. That previous battle must have had a significant impact on you, right?"

"Don't think that just because you have this strength you're all set. The dangers outside are beyond your imagination. If you're not careful, you could easily fall into the enemy's hands. Although I dislike you, you are, after all, a student, and more importantly, a genius, capable of suppressing a generation of geniuses. Reaching the True God Level in the future is a certainty. In the future situation, a true Divine Rank powerhouses will be very necessary."

Without a doubt, Ling Zichen, who had been at the helm of Shrek for ten thousand years, naturally knew about Lin Yuan's background. She almost instantly guessed that it was the Longma Galaxy. Although the files of Lin Yuan's parents were top secret, it wouldn't be too troublesome for her to investigate if she wanted to.

Is it dangerous?

Lin Yuan thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

I'm sorry, but the combat power I can unleash in space is far greater than on Earth.

Lin Yuan smiled inwardly and said to Ling Zichen:

"But I still need to find out who killed my parents. And since I'm so strong, I should take on these responsibilities. To be honest, believe it or not, what I can learn in the Academy is far less than what I can learn outside."

"Do you harbor hatred towards the Longma Galaxy?" Ling Zichen asked bluntly.

Ling Zichen naturally knew that Lin Yuan's parents had died at the hands of the Longma Galaxy. Given Lin Yuan's record of fighting the First Vice Pavilion Master as soon as he entered the university, it was highly likely that he would go looking for trouble with the Longma Galaxy.

"Hatred, that's hard to say. Rather than blaming it all on the Longma Galaxy, it's more accurate to say it's because of the war. War inherently means casualties, even for Divine Rank powerhouses. I understand that, but how can the hatred of one's parents be resolved with just a few words like 'understanding'?"

At this point, Lin Yuan paused, looked at Ling Zichen, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Just like you said earlier about temporarily putting aside the matter of Yi Zichen, you understand that Yi Zichen's self-destruction was his choice, but you still can't forgive me in your heart, can you?"

Ling Zichen, whose true feelings had been exposed, remained silent.

Lin Yuan's chanting continued.

"However, this hatred is only directed at the murderers who killed my parents. Even if I can't take revenge now, I can at least find out the truth. Besides, my uncle, Uncle Ye, and other uncles, aunts, and other relatives raised me for many years. Although I don't like joining the army, I still want to repay them as much as possible..."

At this point, Lin Yuan suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with innocence:

"However, I feel that even if I were to take revenge myself, it would be better to bring my parents back to life and see what they think and how they want to deal with it."

"And Yi Zichen." Thinking of Yi Zichen, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, he exposed himself. I'm not satisfied. It's too easy on him. He should have been taught a lesson by you, his beloved teacher of all time. Let's see how his ever-calm face reacts. That's called destroying his spirit. That's what makes it interesting."

Hearing this, Ling Zichen also recalled how Yi Zichen's legs trembled when she faced her, and looking at Lin Yuan, a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips:

"Foolish boy, resurrecting the dead is not that simple. The only things that can be done are probably the power of Plane Master or the return of the Divine Realm."

Ling Zichen will always remember that when she died in the explosion of the Eternal Heaven, a miracle occurred, and everyone was resurrected.

However, this did remind her.

That bastard is still alive. Given his unique relationship as the son of that being and the Plane Master, he might actually be able to resurrect Yi Zichen in the future. And since that bastard has already been resurrected, does that mean the Divine Realm is about to return?

Thinking of this, at this moment, I couldn't help but merge these two completely unrelated thoughts together, and my hatred for Lin Yuan was decreasing at a visible rate.

Ling Zichen stared at Lin Yuan for a long time.

Thinking back on today's conversation, Lin Yuan responded to every question she raised with impeccable sincerity, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She's so Goodness, almost Goodness so.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Yes, we can only wait for the return of the Divine Realm...

Etc?!

The return of the Divine Realm?!

A flash of silver light appeared over the Lin Yuan.

I remember that in the original story, Buddha intervened several times, bringing the protagonist's parents to the Divine Realm, asking Buddha to help them obtain a God King...

Lin Yuan thought of Huo Yuhao's experience in the Valley of Love's Questioning and Destiny in the original novel, and how he destroyed Buddha's Divine Sense with a New Star in the genius youth class on Tianluo Planet.

Lin Yuan immediately shook his head.

It seems that the path of inheriting Divine Position is no longer viable.

The only option is to Self-Created Godhood. In the original novel of Douluo I, it seems that the Sea God spent a thousand years accumulating the Thoughts of All Beings power of all living beings in the ocean to attain godhood.

Now, his level 39 strength is equivalent to that of Peak Soul Douluo.

By the time I reach the Five Rings, and so on, I should have the strength of Divine Rank powerhouses, right?

It's time for me to start thinking about this in advance.

Lin Yuan thought this to himself truthfully.

However, that's all for later. There's no need to focus all your energy on this matter right away. You can keep an eye on it, but the main goal going forward is to thoroughly understand [Supernova Explosion], verify the Weak Force beta decay, improve the fund system, and then quickly break through to level 40.

Just as Lin Yuan was planning his bright future.

Then they heard Ling Zichen say Youyou:

"Now, I no longer doubt the truthfulness of your oath. However, your trip is still under discussion. After all, you are a genius. Since you are willing to pay fifty percent of your value for your statement, the Academy will not be stingy. I will convene the Sea God Pavilion for a resolution later, and we old guys will also contribute twenty percent of our badges to your fund."

"Alright, then I'll thank you on behalf of the students. If the Sect Leader has nothing else to say, I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Lin Yuan wanted to leave the pavilion and go to the Blacksmith Association to forge something and then put the important task of managing the fund on the Little Dragon God.

Based on the organizational talent shown by the Little Dragon God in the original work, managing a fund would be more than enough for him!

Furthermore, one can teach the philosophy to the Little Dragon God and have Little Dragon God carry it out.

Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy.

The Little Dragon God is not only cute, but also really useful!

"Are you in such a hurry? You're not going out on a mission right now, are you?" Ling Zichen frowned slightly as she watched Lin Yuan prepare to leave.

"How could that be?" Lin Yuan scoffed.

"You're right. I haven't fully recovered yet, so how could I go outside? I'm going to the Blacksmith Association."

"You're interested in forging?" Ling Zichen immediately became interested.

"I suppose so." Lin Yuan didn't deny it. He couldn't say he was interested in forging, but he was interested in the Weak Force beta decay and wanted to see if it could be applied to metals.

"Then I advise you to wait a while before going, because you're Judgment today, and all the students from the outer academy are here. They just went back, and the doors of the Blacksmith Association probably haven't even opened yet. Going there will just be a waste of time."

Lin Yuan:...

Lin Yuan eventually left. Not long after he left, Wang Tianyu pushed open the door and came in, unable to resist asking:

"Sect Master, Lin Yuan, have I offended you?"

"I can tell you're pretending to care about me, but actually you're worried about that kid, aren't you?" Ling Zichen, behind the veil, saw right through Wang Tianyu's thoughts.

"Cough cough cough, how could that be, Pavilion Master..." Wang Tianyu coughed and was about to explain when Ling Zichen interrupted him:

"Alright, Xiao Wang, remember this: from now on, you need to strengthen your protection of Lin Yuan, understand? By the way, isn't the list of candidates for the new Shrek Seven Monsters being compiled? Just add him to it."

Wang Tianyu:...

Impressive, Lin Yuan!

How long has it been, and they've already turned the Pavilion Master against them?
