Chapter 743 737: Missing the Dean

East Sea.

Undersea Palace.

Lin Yuan sat there, seemingly deep in thought, yet with a look of confusion on his face.

Indeed, Lin Yuan was confused.

Ever since at the Returning Ruins Arena, he learned the "Cicada Molting Theory" from the plump old man, Lin Yuan had been confused.

He originally thought, as long as he could resist the Void invasion, fend off the Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang and others.

Safeguard this piece of land between heaven and earth, then humanity's survival would not be threatened.

But when Lin Yuan learned of the "Cicada Molting Theory", he was already certain that the future of heaven and earth is the current state of the Void.

The future of the Void is the current state of the Returning Ruins.

No wonder Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha and others are desperate to invade heaven and earth.

Most likely, they have sensed that the state of the Void is becoming less inadequate.

If they cannot successfully invade heaven and earth before the energy of the Void is completely exhausted,

then they will end up like the plump old man, neither human nor ghost, eking out an existence within the Array, becoming an Array Spirit.

But....

How much better can heaven and earth be?

Isn't the future of heaven and earth destined to first be like the Void, where the vast majority of creatures are completely obliterated, leaving only some elite powerhouses?

In the end, they barely linger until it becomes the current heaven and earth, a lifeless silence.

Lin Yuan was very confused, he had promised the Director to protect humanity.

Yet now, he really didn't know what he should do.

Or rather, Lin Yuan felt that no matter what he did, he couldn't change anything.

At this time, Lin Yuan missed the Director somewhat.

When the Director was there, he would always arrange everything for Lin Yuan.

Now, standing in this position, Lin Yuan has also experienced the pressure the Director faced.

No.

Lin Yuan's pressure now is even greater than that of the Director.

The former Director only needed to care for the humans in the Real World.

But now, Lin Yuan bears the burden of the life and death of all creatures in both the Real World and the Mysterious World.

Tired.

So tired!

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt incredibly weary.

Director, I miss you.

In Lin Yuan's mind, the image of that elderly man with snowy white hair sitting in a wheelchair appeared.

For a moment, his eyes grew a bit moist.

At some point, Yin Celestial Son began to stare directly at Lin Yuan.

After using Magic to communicate with the Second Elder of the Void Race, Yin Celestial Son was just gathering his thoughts when he noticed Lin Yuan staring blankly ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

Most importantly, as he thought, it seemed Lin Yuan began to cry.

Yin Celestial Son and Lin Yuan are one entity, as Lin Yuan, the main body, can glimpse the thoughts of Yin Celestial Son.

However, Yin Celestial Son, as the Evil Corpse, cannot directly glimpse the thoughts of Lin Yuan, the main body.

Even though he can't sense Lin Yuan's thoughts, Yin Celestial Son inexplicably felt a bit sad inside.

Yin Celestial Son had no other distractions at the moment, naturally, he wasn't experiencing feelings of sorrow.

For a Tier One Powerhouse, it is impossible to spontaneously generate negative emotions.

So without a doubt, the sadness in Yin Celestial Son's heart must have come from Lin Yuan, the main body.

Just at this moment, Lin Yuan seemed to notice Yin Celestial Son looking at him, and he snapped back to reality.

They met each other's gaze, which made Lin Yuan a bit embarrassed for a moment.

However, something even more embarrassing was yet to come.

"What's going on?"

"Crying?" Yin Celestial Son first posed the question.

To be fair, Yin Celestial Son had never seen a Tier Two Powerhouse cry.

Today was truly a revelation.

Especially since this crying Tier Two Powerhouse was his main body, Lin Yuan.

How embarrassing it's true embarrassing.

How amusing it's truly amusing.

Lin Yuan's eyes shifted, and a fib rolled off his tongue: "The wind was too strong, I squinted."

Yin Celestial Son: "?????"

Yin Celestial Son thought, do you take me for a fool with that excuse?

"This is the sea floor, there's no wind." Yin Celestial Son said solemnly.

After saying that, he tightly stared at Lin Yuan, as if saying, let's see what else you can come up with.

Lin Yuan: "?????"

Lin Yuan wore a perplexed face, thinking, are you insane?

If you can't speak, you don't have to.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to argue with Yin Celestial Son about this, so he went straight to the point and asked, "How did the conversation with the Void Race go?"

"Can they impact Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, or Buddha in any way?"

Talking about serious matters, Yin Celestial Son didn't continue to probe the issue.

"Upon my return, the Second Elder of the Void Race had already started mobilizing the Void Race."

"If the effect of the Returning Ruins Arena is truly as you say it is."

"Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha must suffer heavy losses."

"Perhaps, after this battle, they will all become isolated commanders," Yin Celestial Son said firmly.

To the strong, never underestimate a weak party fighting desperately.

Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha are indeed strong, yet the Void Race truly counts as weak.

In the past, there was no opportunity for the Void Race to fight desperately.

Now they have that chance to fight for their lives, naturally, they are willing to bet it all.

Listening to Yin Celestial Son's account, in the face of such desperate circumstances, the Void Race knowingly faces death yet still courageously proceeds, truly inspiring.

These rewards deeply resonate with Lin Yuan.

Empathizing, Lin Yuan admired them.

Looking into Yin Celestial Son's eyes, Lin Yuan solemnly said, "I don't want heaven and earth to fall to the state of the Void."

"Nor do I want humanity to one day selflessly face death like the Void Race now."

"I must save heaven and earth, I have to."

"I have reasons that compel me to save heaven and earth."

Such a matter is one Lin Yuan can only discuss with Yin Celestial Son.

Although Elder Bai is almost eerily wise, his strength has not caught up to Lin Yuan's pace.

This is a matter only Tier One Powerhouses can somewhat approach.

Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan doesn't really qualify.

However, he is the body of Yin Celestial Son, sharing Yin Celestial Son's memories; he barely counts as having the qualification.

Lin Yuan's emotions, Yin Celestial Son can somewhat sense.

Wanting to save heaven and earth, Yin Celestial Son naturally concurs with Lin Yuan.

Yin Celestial Son is a genuine Tier One Powerhouse; now Lin Yuan can only rely on him.

Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Yin Celestial Son himself fell into contemplation.

After pondering for a long time, Yin Celestial Son said, "It's too early to discuss any plans now."

"I believe we should first uncover the essence of the so-called 'Cicada Molting Theory.' Only then can we strive to prevent its recurrence."

Concerning Yin Celestial Son's words, Lin Yuan agreed.

As the saying goes, know thyself, know thy enemy, and be victorious in a hundred battles.

The specifics are yet unclear, hence they can't devise a response plan.

"Alright!"

"Then let's combine our efforts to first explore the essence of this matter."

"Once the essence is clear, then we'll devise every possible method," Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.
