Chapter 576 - 570: The Dean’s Time Is Running Out
Real World.
Empire Capital.
Research Institute.
Since the crisis of the Gourmand was resolved, the director has been researching the advanced version of the Totem Visualization Method.
For the newborns of the Human Race, each possesses spiritual roots. Thus, the director aims to prepare a Totem Visualization Method that can grant them even greater strength.
In the director’s office, Lin Yuan met the director he hadn’t seen for a long time.
After a long absence, the director surprisingly appeared much younger than before.
The previous director had the image of an elderly man with silver hair, but now he seemed to have transformed into a middle-aged figure.
Even the director’s wheelchair had disappeared, and his legs could walk?
The reason the director couldn’t move before was due to a frail body that couldn’t match his powerful soul.
Now, with his rejuvenation allowing free movement, doesn’t this suggest his body and soul are gradually aligning?
It seems the director has also experienced many peculiar events during these days.
"You’re back?"
"Sit down!" The director glanced up at Lin Yuan, then continued writing vigorously.
Lin Yuan leaned forward for a look at what the director was writing—it was the Totem Visualization Method—Upper Grade.
On the director’s desk were also the Totem Visualization Method—Middle Grade and the Totem Visualization Method—Lower Grade.
The director was writing new Totem Visualization Methods, while simultaneously creating several versions.
"Director, I have something to tell you!" Lin Yuan said seriously, with a brow furrowed.
"Speak, I will listen!" The director continued writing vigorously.
The director appeared busy.
Lin Yuan, fearing the busy director wouldn’t hear him, slowed his speech: "Director, here’s the situation: a grey-clad elder gave the Peacock Great Ming King a token engraved with Wa Huang."
"According to Elder Bai, Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha, and Daoist Ancestor, these four Primordial Spirits, have been plotting against our world..."
"We unanimously believe that the World Honored has likely allied with these four Primordial Spirits, helping them occupy our world and collect faith."
After Lin Yuan’s words, the director just finished writing the last word and closed the Totem Visualization Method—Upper Grade.
The director looked at Lin Yuan, saying with some comfort, "Never did I expect you to grow to this extent in such a short time."
"You actually are now capable of dealing with matters concerning Primordial Spirits."
From the director’s tone, it’s clear he knows of the existence of Primordial Spirits.
The director was the Good Corpse of the World Honored’s first life, later taken by the Rebirth Saint Mother for reincarnation.
This implies that the director only knows the events of the World Honored’s first life; beyond that, he likely knows little.
This means one thing: during the World Honored’s first life, he knew or had already contacted the Primordial Spirits.
"Director, you know about the Primordial Spirits?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
The director nodded and replied, "Certainly, there’s no need for you to worry too much about them."
"In the past, Human King Di Xin reached an agreement with the four Primordial Spirits, prohibiting their descent into our world for ten thousand years."
"Since the agreement by Human King Di Xin with the four Primordial Spirits, only about three thousand years have passed."
"Meaning, for at least seven thousand more years, the four Primordial Spirits cannot descend into our world."
"If their true selves can’t descend, these four Primordial Spirits need to find representatives to help them control our world."
"As for the grey-clad elder you mentioned, he must have been someone from our world who is now seeking a new representative for his master."
After hearing the director’s words, Lin Yuan deduced, "So, the World Honored is Buddha’s representative?"
The director smiled slightly, "On the surface, the World Honored is Buddha’s representative. Yet, secretly, he is also the representative of the Demon Lord."
"If you think that’s all, then I can tell you you’re underestimating the World Honored."
"Surveying the talents of the Mysterious World and Real World, besides previous Human Kings, the World Honored ranks first."
"His true purpose is not merely being anyone’s representative. While Buddha and the Demon Lord utilize the World Honored, he in turn utilizes them."
"The World Honored’s ultimate goal is to become an equal figure like Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha, and Daoist Ancestor."
In this world, the person who understands the World Honored best is the director.
For the director is essentially a part of the World Honored.
Since the director is aware of the Primordial Spirits, Lin Yuan felt less troubled.
With the director’s wisdom, he surely already has plans.
After discussing the four Primordial Spirits, Lin Yuan disclosed his injuries to the World Honored, complete and detailed.
After explaining, Lin Yuan curiously asked, "Director, what kind of power does the Human King possess?"
"The Human King could confront the Primordial Spirits, even in his prime, the World Honored is no match for the Human King."
"Speaking purely of power, the Human King might be weaker than the four Primordial Spirits. However, as the ruler of this realm, he is blessed with the Power of Heaven and Earth."
"A Human King blessed by the Power of Heaven and Earth is innately unbeatable, which is why he could defeat the four Primordial Spirits."
"Even if the World Honored successfully attains Dao, he can only be considered half a Human King," the director said solemnly.
Currently, the Real World and Mysterious World are separate.
Even if the World Honored attains Dao, he can only fully govern the Mysterious World, thus half.
He needs to maneuver the Mysterious World to merge with the Real World to truly become a full Human King.
"You cannot withstand the Human King’s weapon."
"Even at Tier Two, it’s barely usable; being injured is normal."
"You, boy, being so severely injured, really is trouble for me!" the director complained.
Although the director’s wisdom bordered on demon-like, healing such injuries is arduous.
"Sigh!" The director sighed heavily, saying, "I don’t have much time left, I must quickly help you recover. Moreover, I must engrave the remaining Netherworld Yin Spirits onto your soul to enable your further progress."
Lin Yuan: "???
After hearing what the director said, Lin Yuan froze there.
His thoughts lingered on the director saying he didn’t have much time left.
"What?"
"Director, you looked much better than before!"
"You’ve become much younger, and your legs healed, how could you not have much time left?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion.
Lin Yuan had already regarded the director as family, upon hearing this news he found it hard to accept.
The director smiled, not minding life or death, and asked, "Do you know why I changed this much?"
