Lin Jingting snorted and said, "So you just want to trick me into giving back that crystal coffin."
Chu Nian said helplessly, "I don't want the crystal coffin back, I just hope you can keep it in Huai Mountain so that humanity can have a chance to survive and reproduce."
Lin Jingting asked, "Are they related to you?"
Chu Nian: "It's irrelevant."
Lin Jingting: "Then why bother about whether they live or die?"
Chu Nian thought for a moment and then said, "When the Immortal Realm collapses, you will try your best to preserve your senior brother's scattered soul and help him reunite his soul, even if it is by parasitizing a tree, it can be considered as giving him a chance to live."
You can go to great lengths for Hua Tianling, but imagine what would happen if one of these seemingly unrelated humans were actually the reincarnation of your parents?
Lin Jingting said somewhat absentmindedly, "They won't reincarnate; their souls have long since dissipated. I was unable to retrieve their souls in time."
Chu Nian was powerless to do anything about it and could only remain silent.
Lin Jingting continued, "Actually, you already knew that the Immortal Realm would collapse one day, but you didn't tell anyone and just left."
Do you feel that everyone you encounter in all the worlds you've reincarnated in is just a passerby in your life, someone unrelated to the real you?
Chu Nian said, "If that were really the case, why would I have taken you as my disciple in the first place?"
Lin Jingting: "Then why did you leave without even a word of warning to us? If they had known that the Immortal Realm would collapse, they wouldn't have wanted to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and perhaps they would still have a glimmer of hope."
Chu Nian: "I don't say it because I feel it's useless and will only add to your troubles. If they don't ascend, they will still pass away when their lifespan ends, and their souls will also dissipate."
Lin Jingting: "At least I can take back their souls just like I took back my senior brother's soul."
Chu Nian: "As you just said, the ginkgo tree now belongs to a different person, to be precise."
Lin Jingting fell silent.
Chu Nian added, "People should always look forward. Don't dwell too much on the past; it's no use thinking about it. You've cultivated for so many years, and after your physical body perished, your soul cultivated for a thousand years. You should be able to see many things clearly now."
Lin Jingting suddenly asked, "Have you always carried that broken bird with you? Wherever you go? Did you also take it with you to... another world? A world completely different from ours...?"
Chu Nian said helplessly, "Why did you bring up that damn bird again?"
Lin Jingting: "If you can take him, why can't you take me?"
Chu Nian: "It is my mount, completely under my control. You are my disciple, you should have your own life, and should not become my appendage like it."
Lin Jingting fell silent again: he felt that what the woman said made sense, but he just felt very uncomfortable.
The two of them were communicating telepathically, which appeared to others as Chu Nian being unable to stand and sitting on the ground to rest. Lin Jingting, on the other hand, simply stared coldly at everyone.
Apart from Jing Yue, everyone else also sensed that the boy in front of them was extraordinary: what he said about his soul being parasitized on the ginkgo tree was incredibly bewitching.
Therefore, everyone remained silent and secretly investigated Lin Jingting, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Just as Jingyue was about to speak to break the suffocating silence, she heard footsteps behind her, steady and powerful.
Lin Jingting had already looked behind them, his gaze falling on the people who were still far away and whom the others had not yet seen due to the darkness inside the cave.
He turned to look at Chu Nian and saw that she was still sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, meditating and resting. Knowing that she had spent a lot of effort to help him regulate the rampant energy in his body, he did not disturb her, but went straight to meet the person who was walking towards him.
Following his gaze, everyone finally saw the handsome man they had seen twice before. This man had saved their lives before, so everyone had a good impression of him.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing the boy, the man knelt down and cried out, "My lord!"
Lin Jingting quickly reached out to help him up, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say that you are the embodiment of my senior brother's soul, no different from my senior brother? Don't call me 'Master'!"
Han Chao looked Lin Jingting up and down and said, "You seem to have recovered quite well."
Lin Jingting nodded and said in a low voice, "Thanks to my master's great skill, he helped me to regulate the energy in my body."
Seeing this, Han Chao also changed his method of telepathy and asked in surprise, "Master?"
Lin Jingting: "Yes, it's the woman I told you to keep an eye on before."
Han Chao certainly remembered that the woman had traveled with this group. His gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on the woman sitting there.
Lin Jingting, having slept for so long, was unaware of the passage of time beyond the mountains. He only learned of this when he inquired with Han Chao, discovering that he had been asleep for millions of years. Humanity experienced a period of rapid technological advancement, followed by climate change that plunged Earth into an ice age.
We have now entered a new human civilization.
However, thanks to the protection of the crystal coffin and Han Chao's guard, Huai Mountain remained unchanged, so Lin Jingting was not awakened at all.
Lin Jingting led Han Chao to a deeper part of the cave, set up an isolation barrier to prevent outsiders from hearing their conversation, and then handed the crystal coffin to Han Chao, asking him to guard it and stay in Huai Mountain.
Han Chao has no objection to this.
Chu Nian assessed his cultivation level and felt that with his abilities, he shouldn't cause any problems with the crystal coffin. However, just to be on the safe side, she still released Jin and had her secretly guard the crystal coffin with Han Chao.
This crystal coffin is not only Lin Jingting's coffin for raising corpses, but also a sanctuary for all of humanity, so it must not be allowed to malfunction under any circumstances.
She only hopes that humanity can develop a large number of machines that can resist nuclear radiation as soon as possible, such as the spaceships and interstellar warships she saw in interstellar space.
That said, she does possess some knowledge in this area. Could she perhaps share some of the technology with the authorities to help humanity develop such a machine sooner?
Improving human living conditions was also the original owner's wish and one of her tasks!
After Lin Jingting finished explaining to Han Chao and returned to the group, Chu Nian was a little worried that he would pester her again. She quickly sent a telepathic message: "I'm a very low-key person and don't want others to know about my relationship with you. It's best if you and we go our separate ways."
Lin Jingting: "Why? They don't know who I am."
Chu Nian: "Your senior brother once saved us, and in everyone's eyes, he's quite a formidable guy. He calls you 'Master' and treats you with utmost respect. What kind of person do you think you are in their eyes?"
