Chapter 578 - 572: Human King? Am I Worthy?
The path of the Human King is the humane path.
The path of the Innate Four Spirits is the path beyond the heavens.
Then, what should the path created by the World Honored One be called?
The path of the World Honored One does not need to gain the approval of all creatures under heaven and earth, it merely requires the approval of the heavens and earth.
So, could we call the path of the World Honored One the Heavenly Path?
For now, let’s call the path of the World Honored One the Heavenly Path.
The World Honored One has an extreme personality and is self-centered.
Such a person would have no friends or family.
He only has subordinates, or slaves.
You can see this clearly from the followers of the World Honored One Sect.
Looking at the current situation, is the humane path of the Human King indeed most suitable for the Real World?
So, Lin Yuan asked in the direction of the principal, "What about the Human King?"
"For so many years, has no new Human King been born?"
After hearing Lin Yuan’s question, the principal explained, "Ever since the world was split into the Mysterious World and Real World, it has been impossible for a new Human King to be born."
"The Human King needs to gain the approval of all creatures under heaven and earth, which are now distributed across both the Real World and Mysterious World. The Real World is primarily human, while the Mysterious World is mostly creatures."
"The splitting of the worlds has doomed the impossibility of a new Human King being born."
"This seems to be a conspiracy of the Innate Four Spirits. After the world split, the Innate Four Spirits colluded with the Emperor of Zhou to harm the last Human King, replacing his status and attempting to dim his impression in the hearts of the Human Race."
"Although the Innate Four Spirits also paid the price of their bodies being unable to descend for ten thousand years, they can still support a spokesperson to work on their behalf."
"The Emperor of Zhou is the first spokesperson supported by the Innate Four Spirits."
After listening to the principal’s words, Lin Yuan seemed to have a rough idea in his mind.
"Alas!" Lin Yuan sighed heavily and said to the principal, "What a pity!"
"Without the birth of a new Human King, any World Honored One or Innate Four Spirits are nothing but paper tigers."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan say this, a smile appeared on the principal’s face.
He stepped forward and patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder, saying, "The Human Race may not have a Human King now, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future."
"The two worlds, Mysterious and Real, are merging. Once they are completely merged, the conditions for a Human King will be met."
"At that time, who will be the most suitable to become the Human King?"
"Without a doubt, it must be you, Lin Yuan. The future of the Human Race will be entrusted to you."
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan was covered with black lines, saying grumpily, "The Human King, am I worthy?"
"Principal, I suspect you’re trying to flatter me to death!"
Lin Yuan thinks, where do I look like a Human King?
"The basic condition for becoming the Human King is gaining the approval of the heavens and all creatures."
"To gain the approval of the heavens, you must wait until the Mysterious World and Real World are completely merged."
"However, you already have the potential to gain the approval of all creatures."
"In this world, no need to explain further, it can be said that you single-handedly saved this world."
"Who doesn’t feel grateful when they hear your name, Lin Yuan."
"You wander often in the Mysterious World, accomplishing great deeds. As long as you can win the final battle against the World Honored One, you can gain the approval of all creatures in the Mysterious World."
"Many people would be pleased to see you become the Human King," the principal said to Lin Yuan.
The humane path of the Human King is different from the Heavenly Path of the World Honored One.
The Heavenly Path of the World Honored One is one person’s path to enlightenment, cutting off others’ paths.
While the humane path of the Human King is complementary to all creatures, the stronger the creatures, the stronger the Human King.
In simple terms, the Heavenly Path of the World Honored One is to ascend to enlightenment alone.
But the humane path of the Human King is about leading everyone to ascend to enlightenment together.
Listening to the principal, Lin Yuan shouted in his heart, "Stop, principal, I beg you stop."
The principal’s words made Lin Yuan feel very awkward.
So awkward that he was almost scratching out a three-bedroom living room with his toe on the ground.
Although the principal’s words were awkward, thinking carefully, there was indeed no fault.
Not to mention what Lin Yuan did when the Mysterious World first emerged.
Just speaking of when the Gourmand appeared, if it weren’t for the Anti-Avoidance Pearl Lin Yuan brought, the fate of Dragon Country would probably be no better than other countries.
Now, 99% of the world’s population consists of Dragon Country people.
Gaining their approval is incredibly easy for Lin Yuan.
As for the Mysterious World, it respects the strong.
Just like the principal said, as long as he can defeat the World Honored One, he can gain the approval of all creatures in the Mysterious World.
"Principal, please stop!"
"Let’s talk about something else!" Lin Yuan said to the principal.
The principal thought for a moment and said, "The World Honored One proving the Dao should still need some time, it could be days, or it might take hundreds of days."
"I must help you heal before the World Honored One proves the Dao and let you thoroughly master the entire power of the Underworld."
"I have many things to do, I must plan ahead for the development path of the Human Race for the next hundred years."
"In the next hundred years, if the Human Race follows my plan, even if not flourishing, there surely will be no fear of extinction."
"So, come to me after twenty days!"
"After twenty days, I’ll start healing you."
"As for the next twenty days, go wherever you please, naturally, you can also take some time to clear your fish roe blessing bag."
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan was utterly shocked, thinking, how does the principal even know about clearing my fish roe blessing bag.
It seems he hasn’t listened to my private affairs less.
This old rascal.
Since the principal had many things to attend to, Lin Yuan didn’t disturb him. Saying his farewell, Lin Yuan planned to return after twenty days.
As for what he should do for these twenty days?
Without a doubt, he naturally followed the principal’s suggestion and went to clear his fish roe blessing bag.
Having spent quite some time in the Mysterious World this time, his blessing bag was full, and indeed needed clearing.
The first stop for Lin Yuan clearing his fish roe blessing bag was Jian Bing’s place.
Why look for Jian Bing first? Because Jian Bing was the closest!
After leaving the principal’s institute, Lin Yuan easily found his way to Jian Bing’s apartment.
Jian Bing didn’t know Lin Yuan was visiting, Lin Yuan sneaked into her apartment intending to surprise her.
When Jian Bing returned in the evening and saw Lin Yuan suddenly appear, she was filled with joy.
At the same time, the scent of the ocean permeated the air.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Lin Yuan and Jian Bing had been apart for many days, and upon meeting again, that night was ablaze with passion.
"Ah!"
"Ah! Hmm! Ah!"
These kinds of sounds echoed throughout the night, not to mention that the bed creaked and groaned all night long.
This bed, it could be said, bore unimaginable suffering.
After spending several days tangled with Jian Bing in the capital, Lin Yuan left and went to his sister-in-law’s place.
The intensity of this second battle was in no way inferior to the first one.
