Two completely different people

Chapter 540: Like Two Different People

Days later, the Three Thousand Provinces were in an uproar, having fully understood the purpose of the extraterrestrial visitors. Many Geniuses were moved.

At this moment, many prodigies wished they could immediately accept the trial, rush to No Man's Land, and find an ancient city to pass the test.

However, the high-ranking officials of various sects frowned, worried that the young talents, being overly arrogant, would set out recklessly and suffer great losses.

Especially since they learned from the Little Devil that this was not a game; people would truly die, because Celestial God Academy wanted True Dragons!

"You must think carefully; this journey is a near-certain death, and it's possible that less than one in ten of those who survive to the end will remain."

Some important figures warned them. Their words were few, but they were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, extinguishing the ambition in the hearts of many talents.

Of course, there were also those who refused to yield, defied fate, desired to contend for great fortune, change their destiny in a Heaven-Defying manner, and soar to the heavens!

"It is said that the Little Devil came down from the Nine Heavens for tempering. Even someone of his extraordinary status dares to venture alone; how can we fall behind?"

Many young people harbored ambitions. With Lin Fan as a precedent, he gave them great encouragement, and they also wanted to emulate this spirit.

To dare to fight and strive!

Indeed, throughout history, hardships help people grow, and circumstances create heroes. Those legends were all forged through battle.

"How can you compare yourselves to him? People like that are rarely seen in an entire epoch. Don't you know your own capabilities?"

Their Elders still reprimanded them, earnestly advising that the Little Devil was one in a billion and not worth emulating.

This was a fact; most people had not even cultivated Immortal Qi. If they wanted to obtain qualifications by luck, that was unrealistic.

But at this very moment, the extraterrestrial visitors released news: the conditions were relaxed. Whether one cultivated Immortal Qi or not didn't matter, as long as they reached Emperor City.

Because Immortal Qi could only represent the ancient method, the Present World Method still had a chance to rise. The Heavenly God Realm could undergo a transformation, a Nirvana through fire!

Undoubtedly, this boosted the morale of many people. The Upper Realm became even more bustling, and many Geniuses could not remain calm… On this day, it was time to depart. In the outermost region of Shengzhou, adjacent to No Man's Land, there was a sea of people, no less than a hundred thousand.

On a low mountain, the three Elders of Celestial God Academy were also present, seated above, responsible for presiding over this selection.

Additionally, Lin Tian, the Blue-eyed Woman, and five others served nearby, listening to instructions and maintaining order.

"Has the Little Holy Emperor arrived?" a middle-aged man inquired.

"Boom!"

Just then, a gigantic silver metal warship flew from afar, streaking across the sky, and the heavens and earth roared.

It could be seen that the immeasurable light it emitted interfered with the celestial phenomena and disrupted space-time, creating an astonishing spectacle!

"What is that? A Magical Artifact, or a special flying ship?!"

At this moment, everyone's hearts were shaken. They felt a sense of awe towards that behemoth, as if facing a Supreme.

It was clearly a steel monster made of metal, yet the Aura it emitted was unparalleled, with all Dao beneath it.

"Oh my God, it couldn't be that Supreme-grade warship, could it?!" The Blue-eyed Woman exclaimed in surprise, as if she had thought of something, her mouth agape.

Finally, the silver metal warship stopped, hovering above this area, shining with dazzling silver light, as if an extra layer of sky had been added.

"Chi!"

The next moment, a beam of light shot down from above, and a man emerged from it, accompanied by a pair of stunning beauties, one on his left and one on his right.

From afar, they looked like people who had descended from an Immortal Palace, dressed in white, peerless and ethereal, exuding an indescribable otherworldly charm.

Especially the young man, who wore a golden imperial robe and a crown, exuding immense majesty and a compelling imperial Aura.

His thick black hair, serious face, eyes that seemed to contain the destruction of stars, and surging blood Qi illuminated the Void Realm, like a Heavenly Emperor.

"Greetings, Little Holy Emperor!"

At this moment, everyone bowed. Even some sect masters who had come to see them off couldn't help but lower their heads, their hearts trembling.

"Brother Xiao Fan is so different today!" Shi Hao exclaimed in surprise from the crowd.

"He is indeed different. In the past, he was cheerful and talkative, like an overgrown child who hadn't shed his naivete. Today, he exudes domineering Aura, like an emperor!"

The Demoness also spoke, her Spiritual Qi-filled eyes showing a hint of admiration. She felt that the current Lin Fan was unique, making people instinctively want to prostrate.

That Aura was too sharp, swallowing mountains and rivers. He was like a completely different person from before, commanding respect without anger, with a heroic Aura that covered the world!

"He's so similar, so similar! He truly is like the Holy Emperor reincarnated. Our Holy Emperor Palace has a successor!" An Elder's eyes were filled with fanaticism and excitement.

Some sect masters sighed, their eyes wide. The Little Devil—no, the Little Holy Emperor—held a status beyond imagination in the eyes of these extraterrestrials!

"Little Holy Emperor, the personnel from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces have all arrived, and everything is ready."

The Elder of Celestial God Academy said respectfully, as if facing the Holy Emperor of old, whom one dared not provoke, lest disaster strike.

This was a warning, and even more so an instinctive intuition. All the experts present had a strange feeling, their hearts filled with dread.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a young man not yet twenty-five, but he possessed an invisible deterrent that made many tremble and feel uneasy.

"Let's begin!" Lin Fan said calmly, standing proudly. Every move he made exuded a majestic imperial Aura, looking down upon the Nine Heavens.

"This guy feels like a changed person. Could it be that he's matured and possesses what they call 'manly charm'?"

The Demoness mumbled, her eight senses keen.

For a moment, she felt a bit envious of Yue Chan, her rival, who stood beside Lin Fan.

"Boom!"

In an instant, one of the Elders waved his sleeve, and a mighty wind swept through the sky. A brilliant golden Dao appeared, leading directly into the depths of No Man's Land.

"Follow this path, keep moving forward, and if you manage to reach the end alive, you will find that ancient city."

At that time, as the middle-aged man cast his spell, many runes rose in the forbidden zone. Those ancient paths seemed to be activated, welcoming the trial-takers.

"Oh, and one more thing to remind you: a great war is about to begin. Some Seals will loosen, and you might encounter some strange things, or even enemies from another realm, along the way."

Lin Fan pondered, then spoke.

As soon as these words were uttered, many people's faces turned pale and changed color instantly. Were they about to encounter unknown enemies already?

"Little Holy Emperor, is what you say true?" Several Elders were moved; clearly, they were also unaware.

"It's fine. It's only the beginning; great experts still can't cross over, but it will cause some people to become demonic. Be careful, and you can still deal with them."

Even so, many people were still afraid, and over ten thousand chose to withdraw, no longer daring to participate in the trial.

However, more than half of those who remained still stayed.

Finally, they set off, sent away by several Elders, disappearing from the golden Dao and entering No Man's Land.

"Little Holy Emperor, should we now go to Emperor Pass to wait for them?" an Elder asked.

"No, I still have matters to attend to and must return to Boundless Heaven first. You can go and meet them," Lin Fan said.

However, he pushed out a Big Black Dog and had it accompany the others into Emperor Pass.

"Dog, if you want to avoid the forbidden zone's Supreme, you might as well enter Emperor City. The wu zhong bell has special significance there and will surely be protected."

"What you say makes sense. That place has great Karma; even the forbidden zone's beings dare not act recklessly," the Big Black Dog nodded.

"Dong!"

The bell chimed melodiously, as if from eons ago. The Big Black Dog led the others away, and Lin Fan also boarded the silver warship, disappearing into the starry sky.
