Chapter 999: Chapter 1019: Can I Travel with You?_1

"Aren’t you an Emperor Candidate?"

Nanlan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen, her gaze subtle: "If it were a Human Emperor, facing such a choice, would they be willing to sacrifice themselves?"

Lin Chen replied calmly: "Whether they are willing or not, that’s their business, but I am not willing."

"To help mankind, to save mankind, I can try my best, even risk my life, but to entrust my life to another person and make them successful, I am not willing."

"I was never a noble person to begin with, and as you know, I come from the Human World. There are only a few people I care about in this world, and everyone else is a stranger to me. When they die, I feel pity and sympathy, but I never feel that it’s my fault."

Lin Chen paused, and his gaze fell on his own pocket: "I know you can hear what I’m saying. If you think I’m not the person you approve, you can take back your approval."

The Emperor’s Seal didn’t respond.

Lin Chen continued: "I don’t know if you have life, or what kind of existence you are, but if you choose me, we can be companions facing any difficulty together and collaborators in accomplishing a certain goal. I won’t consider myself your master, and you shouldn’t think of yourself as my manipulator."

"They say that the Human Emperor is the Human Emperor because they are approved by the Emperor’s Seal, and it chooses them. When the Human Emperor dies, the Emperor’s Seal remains, and there will be a next Emperor. The Emperor’s Seal is eternal, and there are many Emperors."

"Free will is most precious. I don’t want to be a Human Emperor engulfed by your will. If you don’t approve of me, you can leave. If you approve of me, you can’t play any tricks on me in the future!"

Nanlan Wushuang looked at Lin Chen in shock.

How dare he speak to the Emperor’s Seal like that?

"Did the Emperor’s Seal approve of you?"

Lin Chen answered: "Previously in the Eternal Cemetery, I was trapped by the Old Demoness in a certain-death situation. The Emperor’s Seal established a connection with me, allowing me to control it in battle. I don’t know if this represents its approval... "

Nalan Wushuang looked shocked and conflicted.

If you can control it to fight against the Demon Ancestor and defeat her, what else would it be if not approval?

Lin Chen is the new Human Emperor!

Does Lin Chen want to be the Human Emperor?

Of course he does!

Who wouldn’t want to have the Emperor’s Seal, an incredibly powerful treasure?

To command the world?

Lin Chen wasn’t interested in that!

As a cultivator, he could be free to explore the world without all the affairs and burdens. Why bother with all that?

That’s why Lin Chen took this opportunity to express his thoughts to the Emperor’s Seal when Nalan Wushuang was being possessed.

If the Emperor’s Seal accepts it, that’s great, if not, he can just give up his approval and leave Lin Chen.

After all, the Emperor’s Seal has a unique will, and even if Lin Chen can control it now, he couldn’t force it if it doesn’t want to cooperate, right?

It’s best to make things clear first to avoid confusion later.

The Emperor’s Seal still didn’t have any reaction, maintaining an ’I can’t hear you, do whatever you want’ attitude.

Seeing this, Lin Chen did not say more. It was enough to make his bottom line clear, and if he kept on nagging, he might irritate the Emperor’s Seal and lose it for real.

Lin Chen looked up at Nalan Wushuang: "What are your plans next?"

Nalan Wushuang was silent for a few seconds, then finally shook her head, her eyes slightly lost.

"If the Demon Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit is dead, then I will naturally return to the demon race and treat this whole thing as a dream. After waking up, I will continue as normal."

"If the Demon Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit is not dead, I wouldn’t dare to return. I bet that even though I am unwilling, the other demon race members would be more than happy to sacrifice me for the benefit of the entire demon race."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Not only that, but they will sincerely thank you for everything you have done for the demon race, and they will tell you that they will remember you... "

Nalan Wushuang’s mouth twitched: "Where are you going?"

Lin Chen casually replied: "Westward from here, I should reach the Central Divine State, which used to be the most prosperous state for humans but was destroyed overnight in a war between humans and demons. I plan to wander around until I cross the Central Divine State and return to Xixi State."

"Central Divine State?"

Nalan Wushuang hesitated for a moment: "I’m weak right now and will probably need some time to recover. Can I travel with you?"

Lin Chen looked surprised—a Demon Saintess wants to travel with a human cultivator like him?

Lin Chen hesitated and then said: "Okay, let’s travel together. When we clear up the Demon Ancestor’s situation and make sure it’s safe, you can go back."

Whether the Demon Ancestor is dead or not, Lin Chen isn’t sure. If she isn’t dead and Nalan Wushuang goes back, she will likely walk into a trap.

If she doesn’t want to die, then she must leave the demon race territory and stay out of sight until the Demon Ancestor’s death is confirmed.

"Alright, thank you!"

Lin Chen looked at the fox ears on Nalan Wushuang’s head and pointed at them: "You need to wear a hat to cover them up; otherwise, anyone who knows a thing or two will guess your identity as a Fox Girl... "
