Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269 The Only Wish

“A person?” Lin Shen suddenly felt a foreboding sensation rise within him.

“Yes, exactly a person, a newborn infant.” the Jade Emperor replied.

“Someone outside the door, and even an infant, that’s just too bizarre. If humans, such carbon-based life forms, can survive out there, then it implies that the so-called Great Universe is merely an area equivalent to our universe. It’s unlikely that such carbon-based creatures can physically survive at higher dimensions, right?” Upon hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, Lin Shen felt significantly relieved.

The Jade Emperor had seen the door and the infant during the Great Emperor’s reincarnation, which was an incident from an unknown time ago.

The people around himself don’t have such a long history, that infant should be unrelated to them.

“Who says the Great Universe must have higher dimensions? In fact, dimensions are merely human definitions and speculations.” the Jade Emperor stated blandly.

“Where is that person now?” Lin Zongzheng stared at the Jade Emperor asking.

“Right here.” the Jade Emperor’s gaze fell upon Lin Shen.

“Me? What kind of joke is that? I’m a legitimate Lin Family lineage, raised in the Lin Family since childhood. I’m so young, how could I be that infant?” Lin Shen’s face turned somewhat unsightly: “You’re not suggesting I am that infant’s reincarnation body, are you?”

“No, you’re not a reincarnation body, you are that infant. Ever since you arrived here, I’ve placed you into a deep sleep within the Star Constellation Sea until I unlocked your cradle and finally brought you out,” the Jade Emperor revealed a shocking piece of news.

Lin Shen suddenly realized that he didn’t seem to be particularly familiar with Emperor Tianshu; why would he be so unreasonably kind to him without ever doubting him? This seemed inherently problematic.

“If Lin Shen is that infant, why is he in the Lin Family, and why have we all reincarnated into the Lin Family?” Lin Zongzheng seemed to have realized something, his gaze like a knife staring at Emperor Tianshu.

“Indeed, your reincarnations, the final one leading you to the Lin Family, were arranged by me, and I was the one who brought Lin Shen to the Lin Family,” the Jade Emperor unveiled even more explosive secrets.

“Why do this?” Everyone stared at the Jade Emperor, all feeling a sour premonition in their hearts.

“Because to create Cosmic Coins, one needs an energy body equivalent to a universe, which is merely raw material. A special tool is required to mold it. Such an energy body is difficult to obtain, but I have found a way and already completed it. However, crafting the tool to forge Cosmic Coins is impossible, it can only be accomplished using that infant.”

“After unlocking the information outside the door and unraveling the cradle, I deduced more information which simultaneously led me to discover a method to create Cosmic Coins without tools; that is, using a person from beyond the Great Universe, leveraging the Great Universe information they carry as a vessel, nurturing a token that can substitute for Cosmic Coins. Although it’s somewhat different from true Cosmic Coins, I’m certain these tokens can also open the Gate of the Universe, even if just for an instant, which is already sufficient.”

“To accomplish this plan, this person must inherently possess universe-level energy. However, that infant from the Great Universe, for some unknown reason, has a constitution not even comparable to the Divine Being we crafted, rather it resembles the most primitive humans, making it impossible to use him to create tokens.”

“Though it’s not much of an issue, I am already All-Knowing and All-Powerful, coupled with the acquired Great Universe information and knowledge, I’ve arguably surpassed this universe’s limit; even collating the computational power of the former Six Emperors Smart Brain doesn’t match mine now. Assisting one to achieve universe-level capability is hardly difficult.”

“Yet unforeseen events occurred, not only is the infant’s constitution poor, but his talent and comprehension are remarkably disappointing. The most crucial aspect is, he absolutely cannot properly cultivate various techniques, not even the most inferior ones can he engage in. Even when I infused my energy into his body, it was ineffectual.”

“At that time I had serious doubts; according to my deductions about the Great Universe, ordinary folks there should possess universe-level power, how could there be such a weak child? This defies all logic. I even once suspected that you weren’t from the Great Universe.”

“Nonetheless, through my analysis of the cradle, upon deducing more about the Great Universe’s information, I understood why you were so weak.” the Jade Emperor smiled stating: “In the Great Universe, there exists a notably unique mechanism I have termed as the prisoner mechanism. Due to the immortal nature of beings in the Great Universe, it’s nearly impossible for them to perish naturally. Hence, once the inhabitants of the Great Universe commit crimes or suffer defeat, they’re incarcerated, becoming prisoners. The segment of prisoners enduring the harshest punishment is banished into the Little Universe, marking the utmost penalty for prisoners.”

“Lin Shen, you hail from the Great Universe as a prisoner. It remains unclear what atrocities were committed for you to be exiled here. I have deduced that the likelihood of your personal crimes is minimal; it’s most likely your elders committed unforgivable offenses, implicating you to be stripped of your potential before being banished into the Little Universe, explaining your weakness.”

“Originally, it seemed like this path was blocked, yet unexpectedly, a study from the Ancient Realm revealed hope to me.” the Jade Emperor glanced at Tie.

“Second brother is the Ancient one, but he is not your reincarnated avatar?” Lin Shen realized.

“You only got it half right. Your second brother is not my reincarnated avatar; Tianshu is my avatar. Moreover, your second brother is not the Ancient one either. The part concerning the Ancient one in his brain belongs to the half of the Ancient Realm King, not his own.”

Before Lin Shen could inquire, the Jade Emperor continued: “The Ancient one was indeed a prodigy. Clearly just an ordinary human, he was able to cultivate to such heights and accomplish so much. Yi Jingren exploited him, and he, in turn, exploited Yi Jingren. Yi Jingren never knew that the Ancient one never intended to use the power of Ghost God to become a god; he had long discovered Yi Jingren’s plot but remained silent, designing the entrapment of Ghost God, which was originally prepared for Yi Jingren. He intended to completely shed his flesh and blood to become the Mechanical Emperor, but ultimately failed and died during the mechanical transformation of his body.”

“The sphere in the underground space of the human mother planet, is that where the Ancient one evolved into the Mechanical Emperor?” Lin Shen thought of something and frowned as he asked.

“Correct.” The Jade Emperor nodded.

“No, that can’t be right. How could someone like the Ancient one, who had made all preparations, possibly fail?” Lin Shen looked at the Jade Emperor and said.

The Jade Emperor laughed: “Indeed, he originally wouldn’t have failed, but I saw his research and wanted to use his research and layout, so he could only fail.”

Everyone had different expressions, not expecting that such a figure as the Ancient one would die like this.

“Speaking of that research, I originally thought we were all-knowing and all-powerful, but I discovered that not everything in this universe is under my control. How to put it, it’s like the system order can control everything, but there’s one thing excluded, and that’s a BUG. There are also BUGs in this universe, though rare, they do exist. I had never paid attention to these BUGs before because they were outside my capabilities. But the Ancient one discovered a BUG and researched and utilized it, cultivating three originally impossible cultivation techniques and restructuring the Three Realms Divine Skill, using it to become the Mechanical Emperor.”

“Originally, I was just curious to research it a bit, but unexpectedly, I discovered you could practice the BUG cultivation technique the Ancient one devised, which surprised and delighted me. But soon I discovered that this BUG cultivation technique requires a solid foundation on the human’s origin mother planet to succeed; otherwise, the foundation would not hold, and practicing it today would revert by tomorrow, equating to no practice at all.”

Lin Zongzheng said coldly: “So you sent Little Five to the mother planet Lin Family, but the timing was off.”

“Not so fast. He was too weak, too easily killed, so I had to make some arrangements for him first. Also, in his situation, I had to wait until he reached the cosmic level before I could use him to create tokens. Before that, I had to prepare materials to make the Cosmic Coin to achieve the best of both worlds, creating tokens at the fastest speed. So I put him back into the cradle, that cradle from the Great Universe, which allowed him to remain in slumber with time standing still. He would neither grow nor die nor feel the presence of time, remaining in the same state, as if a million years were but a moment.” The Jade Emperor played with the Tai Chi Pearl in his hand and said: “And I began a dual-line layout. Using Yi Jingren’s scheme to achieve token materials and using the Ancient one’s scheme to nurture Lin Shen, allowing Lin Shen to take away all the opportunities of the Ancient one. Except for not becoming the Mechanical Emperor, Lin Shen has replaced the Ancient one in everything.”

“To ensure safety, I could only interfere with your reincarnations, letting you all reincarnate to the Lin Family to protect him. To avoid arousing Yi Jingren’s suspicion, I fused half of the Ancient one’s Mechanical Emperor body with Lin Yin, making Yi Jingren mistakenly believe Lin Yin was the Ancient one’s reincarnation, and the Ancient one was my reincarnation. After Lin Yin was born, he had no more concerns and completely let himself go to take that step.”

“Taking that step became your material.” Lin Xiangdong snorted coldly.

“Correct. Now I still need some time to refine these materials. After that, I will use your body to forge tokens. If the tokens succeed, you will die, so before that day comes, you should enjoy life to the fullest. Before that day arrives, I’ll grant you all your wishes. Whatever you want, you shall have, and the universe will be yours for the taking as compensation for this. Even if you desire to become the only true god of this universe, it’s up to you before that day.” The Jade Emperor said: “If you like beautiful women, you may choose from the Celestial Court and Ancient Realm areas, as long as it pleases you. After all, I watched you grow up, and if it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t want you to die either.”

“So, am I bound to die?” Lin Shen frowned and asked.

Wei said nothing, leaped into the air, and directly launched a punch at the Jade Emperor, as did Ouyang and Di Esi. Lin Xiangdong and Lin Zongzheng acted silently, and Tie also stepped in front of him, with Lawless Heaven striking directly.

“All of you go. Instead of wasting time here, think about how to make Lin Shen’s remaining time more meaningful.” The Jade Emperor just waved a hand, and everyone, including those with the Great Emperor Reincarnation Bodies, was seemingly folded into space, exiled somewhere unknown, except for Lin Shen.

“How much time do I have left?” Lin Shen looked at the Jade Emperor and asked.

“It depends on when the materials can be refined. Since the cradle needs to be utilized, it’s temporarily difficult to estimate the time accurately. It could be one or two months, or one or two years, maybe a hundred or a thousand years, or it could be just tomorrow.” The Jade Emperor said with a hint of melancholy.

Lin Shen wasn’t angry either, looking at the Jade Emperor and saying: “You just said you would grant all my wishes and making me a god is fine, and I could have any beauties I desire, right?”

“For all that you’ve done for me, and all that you’ve sacrificed, you certainly deserve these rewards.” The Jade Emperor said: “You needn’t waste effort thinking of anything else, nor think about committing suicide. In this universe, I am the sovereign of all things, and your life and death are at my whim. If I don’t let you die, you can’t die even if you want to.”

“Who would want to die? A good death is better than a miserable living. I really haven’t had enough of living yet, and the longer I live, the better.” Lin Shen took out something and tossed it to the Jade Emperor, saying: “Since you can fulfill my wishes, then I don’t want anything else. I’d like to meet the beautiful woman in this video and have a night with her under the same covers, and then I would die with no regrets.”
