Age of Evolution# C.535 - 536: Blessing in Disguise

Chapter 535: Chapter 536: Blessing in Disguise

A short minute, yet suffocatingly oppressive.

No one spoke, no one left a comment, they were all waiting. Once this video was gone, it would mean Lin Zhen had succumbed.

Thirty seconds… forty seconds… fifty seconds…

Just as the video was about to disappear, Lin Zhen spoke.

“People always have things they can’t let go of. I also have only one thing to say, either Ye Hua pays for my Little Phoenix’s life, or you can go to hell!”

A minute passed as Lin Zhen made his comment, but this moment was even quieter than before.

Countless people were viewing this post, they were all dumbfounded now!

Not until ten seconds later did the World King of the Machine Realm utter a single word.

“Fine!”

Then he left.

The forum of the entire Fire Kirin Empire was once again abuzz.

No one believed the World King of the Machine Realm’s “fine” was a sign of submission to Lin Zhen; this single word represented his inner world, indicating he was extremely angry at this moment!

If one could see the World King of the Machine Realm in person, this “fine” must have been spat out between clenched teeth!

Lin Zhen, you’ve really got guts!

How dare he challenge the World King in the Dimensional Universe, does he want to die?

Dwarf Ni Ke left a comment online, written was a single character “convinced”!

This character was like the leading soldier in a line, followed by lines of people all writing the same character. No matter what happens to Lin Zhen in the future, right now, they were all truly impressed by Lin Zhen.

Daring to challenge the World King in the Dimensional Universe? He was the first one!

Looking at these lines of “convinced” characters, Lin Zhen let out a long sigh of relief.

This choice was not an easy one. He had also considered the future, but thinking of Little Phoenix’s appearance when she died, Lin Zhen couldn’t give up on revenge for her.

As for his family, Lin Zhen had already thought about it. He knew of many wormholes, he could immediately return to the Tianhe Empire, take his family away with him, and then live as a refugee in the star system at most.

Traitorous thoughts, as a Martial Artist, were taboo. Their existence could create a heart demon in the future and even affect martial cultivation. That was one of the reasons why Lin Zhen could not submit.

Perhaps his submission today wouldn’t cause any problems, but when the catastrophe comes in the future, his inner guilt would burden him indefinitely, either until he was dust, or forever stunted in progress.

This was fatal for anyone determined to pursue the peak of the Martial Way. Lin Zhen could not do this.

So after saying those words, he felt a wave of relief in his heart. Some issues he threw caution to the wind, and he was suddenly fearless.

Just as he was about to leave the Dimensional Universe, suddenly someone added him as a friend.

“Master, someone is requesting to add you as a friend, his name is… Mixed World King.”

Lin Zhen was stunned. He had heard of the Mixed World King for a long time; among the World Kings in the Fire Kirin Empire, the Mixed World King was among the top in power. Plus, he had another identity – Little Phoenix’s Master.

This identity alone was enough for Lin Zhen to show respect. The reason why the Skyfire Star Move Small Shop could operate smoothly in the first place, was due to the Mixed World King’s support. He had taken over the leadership of Qing Luan Society, turning it untouchable to many.

Lin Zhen immediately accepted the friendship request from the Mixed World King. Shortly after, a virtual image arrived in the Dimensional Universe.

A man in his thirties appeared in the screen.

There was not a single hint of a master’s demeanor on him. He had a chubby figure and wasn’t tall, with a na?ve expression on his face. He didn’t seem like a martial artist, instead, he resembled your typical everyday uncle.

“Lin Zhen, do you know me?”

“I know your name, but this is the first time I am seeing you, elder.”

“Haha! If anyone else called me ‘elder,’ I might not even take any notice, but just because of what you just said, I’ll accept that ‘elder’ from you. You should call me that.”

Lin Zhen was a bit confused at the Mixed World King’s words, he didn’t know what he meant.

“Lin Zhen, can you now swear with your Heart of Warrior, you will avenge Qing Luan?” Even the Mixed World King’s serious words still have a carefree air about them.

But Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate at all, and promptly said, “I will, as long as I’m still alive.”

“Good! Good boy! You have my youthful spirit!”

Mixed World King slapped his hand heavily: “You know what? Just when that old bastard Mechanical World King was threatening you, I secretly made up my mind. If you gave up avenging my disciple and submitted to that old bastard, heaven and earth couldn’t save you. I would be the first one to cut you up into pieces!”

Lin Zhen laughed, “So, I just had a brush with death?”

“Indeed. However, I’m satisfied with your performance. In light of this, I can tell you that you don’t have to worry about the Mechanical World King. World King powerhouses are not allowed to interfere in disputes below the realm of the World King. This means that before you reach the realm of World King, you don’t have to worry about the old Mechanic personally dealing with you. This is the rule of the World Kings.”

Lin Zhen felt a bit relaxed after hearing this. With such rules, he would be much safer.

“However, the Mechanical World King is no righteous person. He might find other ways to harm you, but you don’t have to worry about the safety of your family. With me around, your family is absolutely safe.”

“That’s great. Thank you, sir!”

“Ah~! No need to thank me, but don’t let your guard down either. I won’t let the Mechanical World King meddle in these affairs, but neither can I personally deal with Ye Hua and avenge for Luan Er, you will have to handle these matters. I will keep an eye on you. I hope you won’t disappoint me or the silly Luan Er.”

Lin Zhen quietly nodded, as long as his family is safe and the Mechanical World King cannot personally deal with him, he has confidence in facing all difficulties.

“Alright, this is what I wanted to tell you. Also, your crafting skills are pretty good.”

With that, the Mixed World King disconnected from the dimensional universe.

Lin Zhen was stunned. World Kings indeed have vast magical powers. Even his separate entity crafting on the Kirin Holy Star, which he hadn’t told anyone about, couldn’t escape his eyes.

However, he did not mention anything about Feng Qingluan’s death, which made Lin Zhen speculate a bit more. Perhaps reviving Little Phoenix is not a dream.

Today, he found fortune in misfortune. Although he thoroughly offended the Mechanical World King, he unexpectedly won the favor of the Mixed World King, and for now, he didn’t have to worry about anything.

Since the trouble brought by the Mechanical World King has temporarily vanished, Lin Zhen won’t continue to stay in Chaotic Star River. He decided to return to Kirin Holy Star immediately.

Go back to earn money while also seizing the opportunity to deal with Ye Hua and Tianci.

The small spaceship was taken out from the Dark Star Space. Lin Zhen looked back at the suspended island and the direction of the garbage processing plant.

He had a feeling that he would come back.

The small spaceship turned into a streak of light, heading straight to the Bright Tunnel.

********

“Damn bastard! This old geezer of the Mixed World, who the hell is he to intervene! He even teamed up with several other World Kings to threaten me, forbidding me from meddling in your affairs!”

The Mechanical World King angrily lifted his arm, with liquid metal flowing on it, shaping into a long sword, he smashed the house he was living in. Then it turned into a war hammer, causing the ground to tremble, and finally, the arm stretched out into a rotating machine gun, shooting energy-element bullets that whistled and shattered the mansions around!

No one dared to approach him when he was angry, including his son Ye Hua.

Only when his metal machine gun stopped spinning and slowly smoked, did Ye Hua slowly walk over.

“Father, don’t be too angry. I didn’t want you to interfere with this matter in the first place. My affair with Lin Zhen should be handled by me. Although Lin Zhen’s current strength is strong, I have now advanced to Tier Nine Star System, and I absolutely won’t lose to him. Didn’t you say that this is a test for me.”

The Mechanical World King pondered for a while and slowly nodded, “Alright, to be able to say these words proves that you’ve indeed grown. I’ve seen Lin Zhen’s strength. Although his potential might be stronger than yours, his current absolute strength is still weaker than yours. As long as you are careful, he won’t stand a chance.”

“Don’t worry, Father. I’m sure to find an opportunity against him. I’m not the only one in this world who wants Lin Zhen dead!”

Inside the Imperial Palace of Kirin Capital City, the Imperial Emperor Tian Haoyu sat on the Kirin throne, waiting for Lin Zhen.

In the past few days, he knew very clearly about what happened in the dimensional universe, but he didn’t express any opinion. Since Lin Zhen could come back today, it means that the Mechanical World King temporarily had no way against Lin Zhen.

This made Tian Haoyu pay more attention to Lin Zhen. He specifically announced that Lin Zhen should come to the Imperial Palace today to receive the reward for ranking first in the Bounty Kill.

The first in the Bounty Kill list receives the title of Duke of the Empire, a reward of 10 billion Cosmic Crystals, and a High-Grade Heavenly Weapon.

The ministers under the emperor were also looking forward to seeing what made this young hero, who single-handedly killed hundreds of millions of the Insect Clan in the Chaotic Star River, so extraordinary.

Compared to his heroic act of killing the Insect Clan, being able to render the Mechanical World King helpless aroused people’s curiosity. They wondered how Lin Zhen managed to do it.

“Lin Zhen has arrived~!”

The guard shouted loudly. Tian Haoyu waved his hand, “Let him in.”

Then, Lin Zhen’s figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Tian Haoyu’s majestic gaze fell on Lin Zhen. Before he could say a word, he suddenly seemed stunned!

Not only was he stunned, but Lin Zhen also seemed stunned after seeing the emperor.

It wasn’t because of Tian Haoyu’s awe-inspiring power, but because he felt the same aura in Tian Haoyu as in himself!

Another Super Star River Beast, the possessor of the Fire Kirin Bloodline!
