After Hermoz left.
Lin Heng looked at the Twelve Ancestral Witches, whose emotions were fluctuating wildly, and felt a great headache coming on.
Before Lin Heng could even think of how to start the conversation, he was interrupted.
Dijiang suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Heng.
"Master, Primordial Chaos still owes us an explanation for what happened back then."
"Now, so many years have passed, Primordial Chaos remains completely silent."
"It seems we'll have to ask him for that explanation ourselves."
Upon hearing Dijiang's words, Lin Heng immediately understood that things were unlikely to end well today.
Just as expected!
Following Dijiang's words, the other Ancestral Witch also spoke in succession:
"Master, you are now only one step away from the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm."
"Reaching the level of the old master in his time, or even reaching the same level as Primordial Chaos, is just around the corner."
"What are your thoughts on the matter of Primordial Chaos?"
Zhu Rong, who was always carefree, was the first to ask a question.
Zhu Rong's words were not harsh, nor did she pressure Lin Heng.
But it was precisely these words that made Lin Heng's decision the most difficult.
Following Zhu Rong, Qiangliang also spoke up and asked:
"Master, we know this will put a lot of pressure on you."
"We only ask that our master consider our efforts in following us all this way, even if we haven't achieved anything, we have still put in the hard work."
"We urge the master to seek an explanation from Primordial Chaos regarding what happened back then."
Following closely behind, Gonggong and the others also looked at Lin Heng with pleading expressions.
Upon seeing this, Lin Heng fell into deep thought.
He had only heard about what happened back then from Mu Chen and Primordial Chaos.
Neither of them expressed any remorse for what happened back then.
Logically speaking, things shouldn't be as Dijiang and the others thought.
But since he had only heard about it, Lin Heng didn't know the specific reasons.
It is clearly unlikely that one could persuade the Twelve Ancestral Witches in this way.
As things stand, all Twelve Ancestral Witches are still deeply troubled by this matter.
Lin Heng naturally couldn't simply ignore it.
Just as Lin Heng was caught in a dilemma.
Dijiang, who was standing to the side, spoke up again.
"Master, perhaps we can consider cooperating with Fate."
Dijiang's sudden mention of this matter surprised Lin Heng slightly.
This matter had already been discussed before.
Fate is too dangerous.
Moreover, it's impossible for us to actually help him destroy the Primordial Chaos Universe.
Why has Dijiang brought this up again now?
Dijiang then shared his thoughts.
"Master, if we are merely coming to inquire about Primordial Chaos..."
Even if he were willing to speak.
They may not tell us the whole truth either.
"From the highest point in the universe, we pose no threat to him."
"But what if we join forces with Fate?"
Even Primordial Chaos cannot ignore this.
"Only by posing him a sufficient threat."
"That might be the only way to get him to tell the truth."
"Of course, all we need to do is rely on Fate to obtain the truth from Primordial Chaos."
"We don't need to actually help Fate destroy the beings in the Primordial Chaos Universe."
Dijiang's idea was certainly good.
But this is only the ideal situation.
Cooperating with Fate?
That's tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.
Once you're on the ship of Fate, can you really get off?
Lin Heng had too many things to consider.
However, an answer could not be given immediately.
Dijiang did not urge them further, but instead said:
"Master, we know you need time to consider this matter."
"We only ask that you inform us as soon as you have made a decision."
"Regardless of the outcome, we will continue to follow our master and will never waver."
With Dijiang's guarantee, everyone else echoed Dijiang words.
Lin Heng sighed inwardly and nodded, saying:
"I will give everyone an answer in three days, at most three days."
After saying that, Lin Heng turned and left.
The Good and Evil Doppelgangers, also followed Lin Heng away.
What was supposed to be a joyous celebration has turned into a sour affair due to Hermoz's uninvited arrival.
Lin Heng returned to his bedroom.
The Good and Evil Doppelgangers, followed him in and closed the door.
With a wave of his hand, Good Avatar immediately set up a soundproof barrier.
He also noticed Lin Heng's predicament.
Now that only the three of them are present, it's easier for them to say many things.
The Good Avatar then asked:
"Is it true that I didn't originally intend to be enemies with Primordial Chaos?"
Lin Heng nodded after hearing this, and said helplessly:
"Although I haven't met Primordial Chaos many times."
"But I can tell to some extent that what he told me wasn't a lie."
"Besides, even Mu Chen had no complaints about what happened back then."
"It's highly unlikely that Primordial Chaos did anything to tamper with it."
"But right now, Dijiang and the others are unwilling to believe this is the truth."
Lin Heng paused at this point.
Good Avatar roughly understood Lin Heng's predicament.
"The concession by Dijiang and the others is precisely where the master faces the most difficult decision."
Lin Heng gave a wry smile upon hearing this.
If Dijiang and his group press the issue aggressively...
Or they might use the threat of leaving if Lin Heng doesn't comply as a means to achieve their goal.
Lin Heng would never compromise, and he probably gave his answer of refusal today.
It was precisely Dijiang and his group's gentleness and concessions that put Lin Heng in a dilemma.
The Evil Avatar, though wanting to speak, stood to the side.
In his view, the worst that could happen was to fight against Primordial Chaos.
At least Dijiang and the others had gone through life-and-death battles together.
Primordial Chaos is ultimately an outsider.
However, after thinking it over, the Evil Avatar still chose not to speak.
After all, this matter involves the Lord of the Universe Primordial Chaos.
In this matter, Evil Avatar did not want to interfere with Lin Heng's decision.
At this moment, Good Avatar smiled and spoke.
"Has this person ever considered...?"
"If you truly intend to surpass Mu Chen, or even Primordial Chaos, on the road ahead, then perhaps you will inevitably be unable to separate yourself from Fate?"
Lin Heng was somewhat puzzled by Good Avatar's words.
Why are even Good Avatar starting to side with Fate these days?
Good Avatar maintained his smile and continued:
"I now know that above the fifth layer of the universe, there exists a sixth layer."
"Does this venerable one truly wish to possess only five layers of the universe?"
It must be said that Good Avatar's words hit the nail on the head.
To put it in perspective, it's about Lin Heng's future.
Lin Heng would naturally not let go of that Sixth-Layer Cosmic World.
If you want something, you're bound to have to deal with Fate.
Because it comes from that world.
Thinking about it this way, there really isn't much to be troubled about today's events.
Lin Heng fell silent after hearing what Good Avatar to say.
About half a minute passed.
Lin Heng then raised his head and said calmly:
Please allow me to consider this matter on my own first.
"A six-layered universe will certainly be my future goal."
"But cooperating with Fate still seems too dangerous."
Upon hearing this, the Good and Evil Doppelgangers stopped trying to persuade him and turned to leave Lin Heng's room.
