Cultivation Pet Shop

When the white light cleared, they were back in their own universe.

They were standing in the back of the store once again, standing in one of the secret rooms that Lin Fan had prepared for their trip to the other universe.

This room should have been completely empty, but there was someone that was standing there.

It wasn't someone that they didn't recognize…but they were surprised to see him here.

It was the golden version of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was the one that was the most shocked since he never thought that he would be able to see this golden version of himself this soon. He had thought that it would take a long time before he would be able to come face to face with this golden version of himself again, but here he was…

The golden version of Lin Fan just stood there looking at them, not saying a word.

It was almost as if he was waiting for them to speak.

But Lin Fan and the others didn't know what to say either.

For Angela and the others, they knew this golden version of Lin Fan as the owner of the store, the powerful God Realm Expert that was Lin Fan's master.

Since he was Lin Fan's master, it was only right that Lin Fan talked to him…but neither of them were saying a thing.

After a long period of silence, Lin Fan finally asked in a hostile voice, "What are you doing here?"

When Angela and the others heard this, they couldn't help revealing a shocked look.

They thought that Lin Fan and this God Realm Expert were master and disciple, so they couldn't help being shocked by how Lin Fan treated this God Realm Expert. 

It almost seemed like they had a bad relationship rather than a good one…

But this also made them remember how Lin Fan had treated this God Realm Expert previously in the World of Gods.

He had also spoken to him in the same tone back then…but they hadn't been aware of this since they had encountered too many shocks.

Could it be that the relationship between the two of them weren't as good as they thought?

If that was the case, who should they support?

Should they go with Lin Fan who they knew all this time or should they go with the God Realm Expert that was his master.

After all, it was all because of this God Realm Expert that they had been able to come here in the first place.

It was all because of this God Realm Expert that they had been able to reach the World of Gods.

They really didn't know what to do…

It was just too bad for them that they were thinking too much over nothing.

The golden version of Lin Fan revealed a smile when he heard this before turning to look at Lin Fan's arm.

This arm that he was looking at, it was the arm that had the golden bones in them.

As he looked at them, he couldn't help revealing a strange look that the four of them couldn't see through.

It was almost as if he was reminiscing about something…

After standing there with this look on his face for a while, the golden version of Lin Fan finally said, "So you were able to find it and obtain it. It seems like you are slowly moving towards the truth."

Angela and the others once again revealed confused looks, but this was not because they had heard what the golden version of Lin Fan had said.

Instead, what they had heard was…the same jumbled words that they had heard this golden version of Lin Fan say before.

This was just like when they had met this golden figure back in the World of Gods.

But Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

After a silence, he asked, "The truth? What do you mean by that?"

When he said this, Angela and the others couldn't help looking at him with the same confused look that they gave this golden version of him.

That was because…Lin Fan's words had also been jumbled.

They couldn't help finding this very confusing and strange.

One moment, Lin Fan was talking properly and the next…he was talking in this jumbled language.

They couldn't help being afraid that the bones were talking over him.

After all, they were golden bones to begin with.

They started to wonder if they were the bones of this God Realm Expert to begin with.

A master using their disciple to revive, that was a very common thing, wasn't it?

So could it be that this 'master' of Lin Fan's was using these golden bones to slowly take over his body?

If that was the case, shouldn't they remove those golden bones from him as soon as possible?

But then again, it wasn't as if they would be able to do anything to those golden bones in the first place even if they wanted to.

Those golden bones…were far beyond anything that they could match.

After all, those golden bones were able to control multiple laws in the God Realm…

While they were thinking about this, the golden version of Lin Fan shook his head before saying, "You're still not ready to hear it yet, but you should have some idea because of these bones that you've integrated into your body. If you keep traveling this path, one day you'll learn everything."

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

There was a part of him that wanted to tell off the system and get him to tell him everything, but there was also a part of him that wanted to believe the system. After all, there had to be a reason why the system was going around in circles like this.

The way that the system spoke, it was almost as if it already knew exactly where these golden bones had been.

If that was the case, why didn't the system just directly teleport him to the golden bones instead of making him go through all of that trouble?

Did that really mean that there was something special about all of this?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan said, "What else do you have for me?"

The golden version of himself revealed a smile before saying, "There are still other universes that you have to go to."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but when he opened the system interface, he found that there were indeed even more special cultivation realms open to him.

These were different from the special cultivation realms that were open before because most of these were worlds that he had never even dreamed of before.

It seemed like there really was a wide universe out there and there were all kinds of different worlds to explore.

But he really wasn't in the mood for such a thing because these were places that the system was sending him.

There was no doubt that the system would be sending him there for a reason.

Before the system disappeared, it said, "When the time comes, you will save our universe and all the other universes out there."

I couldn't help looking at the disappearing shimmers of gold with a strange confused look, but the system didn't stay around for another second.

After the golden version of me disappeared, Angela and the others immediately surrounded me.

With the way that they were looking at me, it was easy to guess that they thought…that I had been taken over.

It took a while to explain what had happened since…even when I tried telling them about the system, it didn't work.

The second time that I tried, I realized that there was something that was scrambling my words and preventing them from hearing me, so I gave up trying to reach them that way.

Instead, I just convinced them that the system meant no harm and this was just a test for me.

Of course, they had to inspect my hand before they could be assured, but it all worked out in the end.

Before heading off to the new universes, I made sure to check in with the Lin Astral Empire.

It turned out that all traces of the Outer had disappeared from the battlefield.

The Beast Race was now fighting alone and facing the combined forces of the humans and experts from the Myriad Races, the Beast Race really wasn't able to fight back.

So even without Lin Fan's help, the Beast Race was being pushed back by the Lin Astral Empire.

As for why the Outers disappeared…

Lin Fan guessed that it was most likely related to what he had done in the Outer universe.

He had put enough threat on them that they withdrew their forces back to their own universe to protect themselves.

After all, the bones in his arm were most likely the greatest treasures of their universe and he had stolen them away from them.

Since that was the case, they didn't dare invade another universe while their own was under threat since they didn't know where I went.

That was most likely what changed the situation of the battle.

Since the Lin Astral Empire could handle things themselves, there was no need for me to worry about them.

So I was able to put my heart at ease as I chose one of the universes the system presented me with.

Taking a deep breath, I pressed the button and started the teleportation into that universe.

If only I knew what I had gotten myself into…
