Chapter 83: The Mystery of Lin Fan’s Origins and the Resolution of the Qin Sect Crisis

Sue spread her slender palms, and an old laptop appeared in her hand, its surface worn and bearing the marks of time.

In her other hand, she held a diamond-shaped metal object—the complete world-breaking pendant.

She gently set these items down and said calmly, "Fan, I have fully restored the data in the old laptop, but the restoration process is irreversible. It will self-destruct in half an hour."

Lin Fan put away the world-breaking pendant and began to browse the documents on the old laptop.

These documents had once been heavily encrypted and scrambled, making it impossible for even a Genius System specialist like Xiao Du to crack them.

Lin Fan was very curious about what was inside.

October 1, 2033: The new cultivation pod is ready.

October 2, 2033: The subject is in good condition. At this rate, it will be born in 7 days.

October 9, 2033: The subject has formed, and its consciousness is stable.

October 10, 2033: We are performing personality implantation. To meet the requirements of a Void Realm successor, this child must be sufficiently evil.

My God, he actually has to endure 99 lifetimes of slaughter to become a Void Realm successor. I truly hope he can survive it.

October 11, 2033: Personality implantation was successful. The child is born. I named him Lin Fan, hoping he can fully enjoy a life of mediocrity.

December 5, 2033: Unfortunately, he died. I don't know why he suddenly jumped off the rooftop, but I won't give up. Lord Sovereign, believe in me; I will definitely cultivate a suitable Void Realm successor.

January 1, 2034: Today is a brand new day. I have corrected all parameters and started cultivation again. This time, I will definitely succeed.

January 10, 2034: The child is born. I named him Lin Fan. This time, I played the role of his father.

January 10, 2036: Watching him grow up, I am gradually unable to bear it. Why must he be destined to be a tool from birth? I want him to grow up, I want him to have his own life like a normal child, but I cannot do it.

January 10, 2044: The child has grown up. He has started to devour humans, and even I have been attacked. I have no choice but to leave him.

January 10, 2050: Lin Fan is 16 years old. He is very strong, and of course, rotten to the core. This experiment failed; we have absolutely no way to communicate with him.

This experiment has been terminated, but we will continue.

—

July 9, 2114: The experiment is complete. We have obtained the complete personality data and physical parameters.

July 20, 2114: Lin Fan is born. He is so perfect. I sent him away from Watchtower Island.

"Go, Lin Fan, go and enjoy that simple and free life. Although such time is only twenty years, I admit, I am not a qualified father."

—

Lin Fan's fingers trembled slightly as they rested on the last line of text on the screen.

Those dense records were like a sharp blade, stabbing straight into his heart, making him feel an unbearable weight.

Lin Fan was not an ordinary person after all; his life had been destined to be that of an experimental subject and a tool from the very beginning, and even his name had been predetermined.

"Void Realm successor… So this is what my existence is."

Lin Fan finished reading, and the old laptop began to self-destruct, turning into powder and drifting away.

Fairy Guanghan gently rested her head on his chest and said softly, "Fan, I'm sorry. Go, go find Lin Chen; she needs you."

She gently pushed Lin Fan away, letting him step into a mirror-like passage.

As Lin Fan entered the passage, Xiao Du's voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Lin Fan, you really are an idiot. You were created by her from the very beginning just to obtain the Void Godhead, and in the end, you didn't even touch her body before she took the Void Godhead away. In my opinion, you should have just taken her body to compensate yourself."

Lin Fan didn't pay it any mind after hearing this. "Xiao Du, you've finally appeared. Where did you go just now?"

Xiao Du giggled naughtily, making no attempt to hide her smugness. "Hee hee, I won't tell you."

While they were talking, the two had already passed through the space-time tunnel and arrived inside a massive mothership.

The surroundings were filled with a cold aura; the steel walls and the mechanical vibrations made the entire space feel exceptionally oppressive.

From the liquid on the deck, a slender figure slowly walked out.

It was Li Ya, who had just finished reshaping herself from the liquid, her fair skin still faintly glistening.

Her gaze met Lin Fan's, filled with affection for a moment; their three years of companionship had not been meaningless.

A subtle, almost imperceptible curve tugged at the corner of her lips, as if some feelings were hidden within it.

Lin Chen, wearing the vincent battle armor, looked full of joy upon seeing Lin Fan and said in a melodious voice,

"Lin Fan, you're back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

Lin Fan turned to look at Li Ya and said indifferently, "Do you still want to fight?"

Li Ya snorted coldly, then turned and left.

Li Ya's departure also meant the Qin Sect crisis had been resolved; Mirror Venerable, which is to say Fairy Guanghan, had obtained what she wanted and would not make any further moves.

"Ding! Congratulations, Young Master, for completing the Qin Sect crisis mission. The rewards are as follows."

Mission: Survival

Description: Ensure the Qin Sect survives this crisis safely.

Mission Requirements: The number of fallen Disciples must not exceed 30%. The nine Inner Court Elders and Sect Master Qi Meng must survive.

Mission Rewards: 10 million Merit Points. Choose any three Divine Substances.

Current Qin Sect Disciple casualty rate is less than 1%. All Core Disciples and Elders have survived. The mission has been exceeded, rewarding an SSS-rank rating.

SSS-rank rating reward: None!

I was dumbfounded. I thought there would be some grand SSS-rank rating reward, but it turned out to be "None"!

"Hey! How is this a 'None'? You can't do this!" Lin Fan said with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Du giggled and said, "Haha, Lin Fan, you really are an idiot. You actually expected the SSS-rank rating to have some special reward? However, you do have a special reward; don't forget!"

Lin Fan was stunned. "What special reward?"

Xiao Du immediately adopted a smug tone. "Do you remember that time I let you use my room to store cash? You used such a large space for over three years, and I haven't had a good night's sleep! Hehe, you promised me that next time you obtained Merit Point rewards, you would split them with me!"

"Ah!" Lin Fan suddenly realized, wearing an expression of helplessness. "Fine, fine, half is half."

Thus, Lin Fan watched helplessly as 5 million of the 10 million Merit Points rewarded by the System were deducted by Xiao Du.

In the end, Lin Fan received 5 million Merit Points and the reward of choosing three Divine Substances, but he was not in a hurry to make a choice.

What was important right now was to let Sect Master Qi Meng successfully reach the Void Refinement Stage.
