Chapter 648: Chapter 648: This Was Once My Statue, I Was a Hero
Inside the planet.
Yellow sand filled the sky.
Just as the Dragon God had guessed, this was a desolate planet. Perhaps it had once been glorious, but glory doesn't last forever; it eventually withers.
"Lin Fan, it seems this place is as I thought. There was indeed a civilization here before, but after countless years, it has vanished," the Dragon God said.
Lin Fan said, "It's familiar, very familiar. It has my scent. Although it's been washed away by the passage of time, a faint aura still remains. This is the place I'm looking for. Although Ke Lan isn't here, I know that if I can prove that it wasn't an illusion, everything will be worth it."
His words were cryptic and tinged with excitement.
If everything was real…
For Lin Fan, it would be the most beautiful beginning of all.
All his efforts would be rewarded.
The Dragon God said, "Even if it's familiar, there's nothing we can do. There's nothing you're looking for here anymore. Time is enough to erase everything."
"Yes, I know." Lin Fan nodded, understanding the Dragon God's words. Time could indeed erase all traces, but he firmly believed that even after a long time, it couldn't erase Lin Fan's memories of this place.
Although the place was unrecognizable now.
He could still feel it.
"Follow me. I've found a familiar scent. Although it's faint and subtle, I can still sense it," Lin Fan said.
The Dragon God didn't say much.
Given the current situation, he chose to trust Lin Fan's intuition. The fact that Lin Fan could bring him to a place he hadn't dared to imagine, or even known about, was enough to prove he wasn't talking nonsense.
The Evil Rooster obediently followed Lin Fan. As an undercover agent, his goal was to obtain useful information from this foolish yet imposing human.
But honestly…
He had indeed obtained a lot of useful insider information, but to be honest, this insider information was completely useless to the Evil beings.
What was the use of knowing? The matters involved were not something Evil beings could interfere with.
If any daring Evil being dared to go, they would probably die without even knowing how.
Not to mention anything else…
Just Changbai Mountain and Mount Tai, if any Evil being dared to go there, the outcome was basically predictable. If they didn't encounter Lin Fan, they might avoid being eaten, but if they encountered other powerful beings, they would be completely finished.
Therefore…
This situation led the Evil Rooster to focus all his attention on himself, believing that only he could save the Evil beings.
So, he wanted to become the strongest Evil being among the Evil race.
For this goal, he had been striving, and no matter how difficult it was, he would not easily back down.
At this moment…
They were floating above a vast ocean. With the decline of the planet, the seemingly calm sea surface concealed various dangers.
"There's a somewhat familiar aura here."
Lin Fan raised his finger, and the seawater parted to both sides as if separated by invisible walls.
They descended, landing on the seabed. The soil was very soft.
Immediately afterward…
A force spread out, and the soil was pushed aside by invisible hands. Gradually, a statue appeared. Although its surface was somewhat disfigured by time, a force condensed on the statue, keeping it intact.
Seeing the exposed statue, Ginseng exclaimed, "I sense the power of faith."
The Dragon God said, "Ordinary materials cannot last through the ages, but this statue has the power of faith, preventing it from being eroded by time. It seems that the civilization that once existed on this planet followed the path of faith to become gods. But if it truly was faith becoming gods, logically, there should be gods. If the planet hasn't been destroyed, where did the beings living here go?"
This was the Dragon God's biggest question.
If his ancestral land was in danger, he had absolute confidence in moving heaven and earth to protect it. But the situation here was a bit problematic…
"I feel it," Lin Fan murmured, stroking the statue.
The Dragon God was puzzled.
Feel it?
What exactly did you feel?
Could you be more specific?
In this situation, who knows what you felt?
Tell us!
Lin Fan could feel the meaning contained within the faith in the statue. It was the prayers of countless people.
A picture even appeared.
In a bustling city, fashionable citizens would stop and admire the giant statue as they passed by, their eyes filled with gratitude and adoration.
The Bizarre?
The person represented by this statue eradicated the Bizarre, restoring peace to the world, and freeing people from the fear of its existence.
"I remember."
Lin Fan knew which dream this statue was from. No…it shouldn't be a dream, but a real world, accessed through the statue, tracing back to the past.
Ten thousand years!
One hundred thousand years!
Three hundred thousand years!
All the way to…five hundred thousand years.
He finally understood what had happened. In a world without the Bizarre, people began to pursue power beyond science. Using the abilities they had mastered, they wreaked havoc on nature.
Destroying mountains.
Destroying the land.
The world was eventually plunged into chaos, and countless people died in the harsh environment. The revived Will initiated self-preservation, and humanity was destroyed by the cruel nature, vanishing without a trace.
And the Will dissipated once more.
Slowly gestating.
Hoping to start a new era.
Lin Fan opened his eyes and sighed softly. It turned out that they had destroyed themselves. Although there were no people he cared about there, he had lived there for a while, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't saddened.
Suddenly…
He thought of something.
Weren't the people where he lived now repeating the same mistakes?
After finding Ke Lan…
He would return to Yanhai City and stop this behavior. His greatest wish was to live with the people he missed, never to be separated again.
He hadn't thought of this possibility before.
Now that he knew.
He would stop it.
"Let's go," Lin Fan said.
The Dragon God asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
Lin Fan replied, "Yes, I found it. I'm a little disappointed, but mostly happy. I've confirmed certain things. Everything exists, I just didn't expect so much time to have passed."
The Dragon God found Lin Fan's words a bit profound.
This change had only occurred after he entered the Starry Forbidden Zone.
He wondered…
What exactly had he experienced to make him feel this way?
It was very strange.
Old Zhang said, "That's good."
Lin Fan smiled, "You know?"
"Yes, I know, because I'm the one who understands you best," Old Zhang smiled.
"Hehe!"
"Hehe!"
They exchanged smiles, everything conveyed within their laughter.
The Dragon God was going crazy.
He always felt out of place with them, unable to understand what they meant. Leaving aside anything else, just their smiles, they were really quite creepy.
The Dragon God shook his head helplessly.
It's just a matter of getting used to it.
He didn't mean anything else by it.
Leaving the planet and flying into the starry sky, the Dragon God looked down. The planet was slowly nurturing a new form of life, which might truly appear after a long time.
Traveling through the vast world.
The Dragon God found this so-called vast world to be very strange. It wasn't the case that the higher they went, the stronger the beings became. Some were very weak, even without any power.
If some of the races among the great starry sky clans discovered this situation…
Their only thought would likely be to claim this planet for themselves, as every planet held valuable resources.
At this moment, they were being led by Lin Fan, seemingly purposefully flying upwards.
Those barriers were difficult for anyone to break, but in Lin Fan's eyes, they were like paper, easily shattered.
Without any difficulty.
After an unknown amount of time…
Lin Fan stopped.
The Dragon God said, "Strange, there's a problem here. If what we just passed through was the vast world, then this place is very problematic…"
As he followed Lin Fan continuously upwards…
It was a spiral ascent.
Like a pagoda, climbing layer by layer to the top.
But now…before them was a hazy mist, similar to the Starry Forbidden Zone before, unable to see what lay beyond.
Lin Fan said, "We need to go in and take a look."
"Are you sure?" The Dragon God wanted to tell Lin Fan that maybe they should be more cautious. After all, they had reached this point without encountering any danger. According to special circumstances, if they didn't encounter danger for a long time, the danger would accumulate and erupt all at once.
Lin Fan said, "I'm sure."
Then, just as Lin Fan was about to lead them inside, a world-shaking power suddenly erupted. The originally calm mist suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
"This…" The Dragon God was shocked. He hadn't expected the thing he had just thought about to actually happen.
Could it be that his mouth was blessed?
The Dragon God felt a deep malice.
Suddenly…
An illusory figure appeared in the sky, tall and imposing, like a great being that couldn't be looked at directly with the naked eye. It felt like it had appeared to stop anyone who wanted to enter the forbidden land, ready to slay all intruders.
"Kill!"
A furious roar resounded through the heavens and earth.
The figure condensed a long spear and hurled it towards them. There were no wasted words, just action. At this moment, the entire world seemed to be pierced through.
That power was beyond anyone's ability to resist.
It was simply too strong.
"Not bad." Lin Fan looked at the figure in surprise. He hadn't expected the other party's strength to be so impressive. It was the strongest being he had ever seen. Even the Dragon God standing beside him would be instantly obliterated if he fought against it.
Of course…
Lin Fan's praise was just a polite gesture.
Then, he threw a punch.
Boom!
A startling sound erupted.
The power that could pierce through the heavens and earth instantly shattered. At the same time, the figure swayed and gradually retreated.
