Chapter 810: Chapter 830: We Just Hope You’re Still You_1

Lin Yuan’s action startled Lin Chen, but he couldn’t move at all; he could only watch helplessly.

As the dagger pierced the skin, it was then blocked by an invisible force.

A few seconds later, the patterns on Lin Yuan’s face suddenly came alive, retreating to all sides of his face, only stopping at his neck, where they settled down.

Lin Yuan’s face was revealed - it looked 80% similar to Lin Chen, but more mature. The blackness in his eyes also receded like a tide, and the pupils regained their luster.

At the same time, Lin Chen felt a sense of ease, as all the prohibitions on his body were released.

Lin Chen blurted out, "Dad?"

Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly reddened. He reached out to touch Lin Chen’s face, looking excited but unable to say a single word.

Lin Chen quickly said, "I relied on the Heaven Opening Jade you left behind, entered Nanyue Hengshan a year ago, and now I am a Direct Disciple of Master Shi. I have already met mother, who doesn’t believe that you are dead. She still lives in your Cave Mansion and refuses to leave with me, saying she will wait for you. Just now, the one who coughed blood after exchanging one punch with you was my Senior Brother, and the one with the sword-like bones is my Third Senior Sister. They are good to me, like family. Oh, and Aunt Tang is here too. She never gave up on you, and has been taking care of Mother..."

Lin Chen was not sure what would happen next, so he quickly spoke of his own and his mother’s situation, not even leaving out Tang Li. He also identified the identities of Li Ping’an and Qiao Wei. He was worried that conflict would continue and that whoever was hurt would bring the greatest tragedy.

"Ten years ago, I don’t know what happened to you in Yin Yang Valley, but I am very grateful that you are still alive. The Heart of the Demon Emperor seems to want to turn you into another person. We don’t care if you become the next Demon Emperor or not; we just want you to still be you."

Lin Chen nodded, a complex look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something and turned to look into the distance.

He quickly took out a massive black stone tablet as dark as black iron and handed it to Lin Chen, "Remember, don’t tell anyone!"

Lin Chen’s eyes scanned the stone tablet, and they suddenly widened, his heart pounding furiously.

Although the writing on the tablet was in ancient characters and difficult to read, Lin Chen recognized the first few words at the top of the tablet at a glance.

Emperor’s Scripture of Heaven.

An Emperor’s Scripture that leads people to understand the Heavenly Dao, guides people to ascend, and has been lost for ten thousand years!

Lin Chen subconsciously stored the stone tablet in his Spatial Ring. At the same time, the black patterns on Lin Yuan’s neck suddenly came alive again, quickly climbing up his face, covering it entirely. The eyes turned pitch black, filled with evil and indifference, looking at Lin Chen with extreme danger.

Lin Chen was shocked. Was it the act of Lin Yuan giving him the Emperor’s Scripture of Heaven that angered the Heart of the Demon Emperor?

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, flying into the sky and heading straight towards the distance. The tiny, scattered sounds of Lin Yuan could be heard in the air.

"Take care...son!"

Lin Yuan’s figure disappeared in an instant, and afterwards, a green figure appeared in the sky - it was Li Ping’an. Seeing Lin Chen standing on the mountainside, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly came before Lin Chen.

"Junior Brother, are you okay? Where’s that man?"

Lin Chen snapped out of his shock: "He’s gone."

Li Ping’an scanned Lin Chen’s body with his divine sense, confirming that Lin Chen had not been harmed nor been subjected to any underhanded tactics, and sighed in relief but also puzzled, "Why did he kidnap you without harming you, although the demon race clearly had the advantage and didn’t need to take any hostages?"

Lin Chen answered calmly, "He is my father, who has been missing for ten years in Yin Yang Valley, Lin Yuan."

Li Ping’an’s eyes widened in shock, "He is...your father?"

This matter would sooner or later be impossible to hide, and as someone who was like a big brother to him, Lin Chen did not conceal the truth from Li Ping’an, "Yes, I actually thought he had been killed. I just came in here to make a wish, but I didn’t expect him to become the Demon Emperor’s Successor."

Li Ping’an sighed, "This is really strange, did you recognize each other?"

Lin Chen nodded, "We recognized each other, but we didn’t talk much. I told him about my and mother’s situation, and also mentioned that you were my Senior Brother and Sister. His condition is very strange - the patterns on his body seem to be controlling him, turning him into another person, yet he still has his own consciousness. The two wills seem to be in conflict..."

Li Ping’an explained, "The Heart of the Demon Emperor contains the will of the Demon Emperor. When your father inherited the Heart of the Demon Emperor, it naturally wanted to assimilate him. Put simply, what the Heart of the Demon Emperor needs is this body, not his soul. But after all, the Heart of the Demon Emperor is just a heart, even if it has the will of the Demon Emperor, that’s just parasitic. Your father is the master of the body, so the complete assimilation may not be easy, most likely it will be fusion..."
