Chapter 366 The Emperor's Successor

The Forest Sage's peace domain can negate all attacks below level twelve.

That is to say.

Only an attack that reaches the twelfth level can break through its domain.

Just a simple leakage of aura caused Lin You in the peaceful area to suffer serious damage and almost die on the spot.

How terrifying is this heart?

And who is that young man?

It can actually merge with the heart! Lin You, whose spirit was hit hard, felt his brain go blank and he half-knelt on the ground.

at the same time.

The huge heart in the air has also shrunk to the size of an ordinary person and slowly merged into the chest of the black-eyed young man.

Black lines spread out from the heart and covered the young man's entire body in a blink of an eye.

"Bang. Bang. Bang."

The dull sound of heartbeat echoes in my ears.

The young man slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked indifferently at Lin You who was half-kneeling on the ground below.

"We'll see you again."

As the cold voice fell, the entire space made a loud bang and finally shattered completely, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the air.

Emperors from all walks of life came in one after another, and were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

"This is."

"Oh no! The heart has broken free from its seal!"

"Stop it!"

The emperors shouted in deep voices, and their boundless power suddenly erupted and attacked the young man.

In an instant, the space collapsed and turned into a destructive void.

With blurred vision, Lin You could only vaguely see the young man being hit hard, then being swallowed by a huge black hole and disappearing.

then.

His eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

This battle consumed so much of his energy that he was lucky to have been able to hold on until now.

I don’t know how much time passed.

When Lin You woke up from the darkness.

I found myself lying in a magnificent palace.

On the side, there were two humanoid soldiers wearing golden armor. They looked familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

"You're awake."

Before Lin You could think more, a familiar voice came from outside.

Emperor Shengyao walked into the palace with several attendants carrying potions.

"The Great Emperor?"

Lin You was shocked and climbed up from the bed with difficulty.

"You are injured, don't move."

Emperor Shengyao waved his hand casually, and an invisible force wrapped Lin You, allowing Lin You to sit on the edge of the bed.

He gave an order to the servant, then sat down on the chair next to him, crossed his legs and ate the fruit on the table.

He still maintains his rough and bold character.

"How are you? Feeling okay?"

He asked casually.

"Yes, I'm much better now. Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life."

Lin You knew the situation very well. It was Emperor Shengyao who saved him, and he immediately expressed his gratitude and thanked him.

"You kid, you just don't know how to rest easy every day. It wasn't enough that you ran to the base camp of the original evil world last time, but this time you even dared to run to the territory of that monster. Do you think your life is too long?"

Emperor Shengyao bit off half of the apple and glanced at him.

Lin You smiled bitterly.

He doesn't want to either.

Originally, I just wanted to kill a few more lord monsters, but who knew I would be so unlucky and accidentally run into that horrible thing.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have come even a step closer to that place even if I had a hundred times the courage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Emperor, can I ask what happened to that heart in the end?"

"It ran away."

Emperor Shengyao raised the half apple in his hand and spoke vaguely.

It was as if he was talking about something insignificant.

But to Lin You's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Run away?

Such a terrifying thing actually escaped? And it escaped under the siege of so many emperors! Shocked, he even forgot to take the medicine bowl handed over by the servant, and looked at Emperor Shengyao in disbelief.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't let it run away."

Emperor Shengyao turned around and glared at him, his aura of boundless power and imposingness.

But he is not as high and mighty as other emperors.

Instead, he explained very patiently: "Originally, the heart was sealed, but this mechanical riot destroyed part of the seal foundation, giving it a chance to escape."

"Where are the seventy-two demons? Didn't they show up?" Lin You asked.

"Them? They seem to be held back by something and can't get away. What a bunch of unreliable people."

Emperor Shengyao cursed softly and ate the rest of the apple in one bite.

"But then again, you're really lucky this time. You actually managed to survive that thing. You created that energy to inform us, right?"

"Yes." Lin You smiled awkwardly, "If I didn't do that, I would probably be dead."

"Haha, you are a smart boy. You have the same style as me in my old days." Emperor Shengyao laughed heartily and seemed to be in a good mood.

Then, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, stared at Lin You, and looked him up and down.

"I didn't expect that you have grown to this extent in such a short time. It's really beyond my expectations. How about you consider becoming my son? I just need an heir."

"ah?"

Lin You was stunned for a moment.

He was stunned by Emperor Shengyao's outrageous words and was unable to understand what was going on for a while.

Is the successor of the emperor chosen so casually? "Why? Don't you want to?" Emperor Shengyao raised his eyebrows, "Don't look at me like this, I'm over a hundred years old now, I'm old enough to be your grandfather."

"No, what I mean is, doesn't the emperor's successor usually have to go through multiple rounds of screening?"

"Screening? I don't need that."

“.”

Lin You remained silent.

To be honest, he was still very excited.

Because as far as he knew, becoming the successor of the Great Emperor was almost like getting a direct ticket to the eleventh level.

There is even a chance to become an emperor in one fell swoop in the future! This is the situation that countless lords dream of.

If it were any other ninth-level or even tenth-level lord, he would probably nod immediately and agree without hesitation.

But he is different.

What he considered more were the disadvantages of being an heir.

Because the godhood is inherited from the great emperor, one's own level can never be higher than that of the great emperor.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It's kind of like establishing a subordinate relationship.

Although it will not restrict personal freedom, the upper limit is completely locked.

in other words.

The upper limit of that great emperor is the upper limit of his successors.

This may not be a big deal for most lords.

After all, many of them may not even be able to reach the tenth level in this lifetime, let alone become an emperor.

But Lin You is different.

He already has his own godhood now, even a complete godhood of the eleventh order, so his goals will naturally be more long-term.

Being the successor of Emperor Shengyao is certainly good in the short term.

But in the long run, it wasn't for him.

After thinking it over, he finally made a decision and said seriously: "I still want to try it myself."

quiet.

The entire palace fell silent in an instant.

The servants who were carrying the medicine felt their arms tremble and almost dropped their hands. They all looked at Lin You in shock.

Become the heir to the Great Emperor.

It's an opportunity that many people in this world dream of having.

How could someone refuse? And refuse so decisively!? Forget about them.

Even Emperor Shengyao himself was stunned, with deep surprise in his eyes.

However, he did not get angry as expected. Instead, he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you have guts! You are indeed worthy of being the one I have chosen!"

"The Great Emperor."

Lin You opened his mouth to explain, but was stopped by Emperor Shengyao.

"No need to say it, I know what you are thinking. I underestimated your ambition."

After saying that, he looked at Lin You deeply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Lin You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he was really a little afraid that Emperor Shengyao would be angry and grind him to ashes.

After all, he knew this guy's temper very well, and it was possible that he would do such a thing.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

It finally made him feel relieved.

But I don’t know what would happen if the kings of other principalities knew about this.

Even without King Shengyao taking action, the kings would probably be able to exile him.

"Well, since it's nothing serious, just take good care of your injuries first. I'll take you back to the territory later."

Emperor Shengyao seemed to have just come to check on Lin You's condition.

Seeing that he was fine, he slowly stood up and walked out.

Lin You's expression changed and he quickly spoke up, wanting to ask more about the heart and the black-eyed young man.

However, I only got a simple response.

"There are some things that you shouldn't know at your level. Try to improve your strength."

Emperor Shengyao didn't seem to want to talk about the heart.

After throwing down a sentence, he left without looking back.

Only a few servants were left to serve Lin You with medicine, which made Lin You sigh.

This battle.

It can be said that he tried every possible means and almost lost his life.

Although part of this is because of that heart.

But the powerful strength of the black-eyed young man is beyond doubt.

He was definitely the strongest eighth-level lord he had ever seen.

Even the likes of Michael Qingfeng find it difficult to match him.

Moreover, the enemy's troops are also very strange. Their level suffixes are the same as those of monsters, and they can even fuse with that terrifying heart. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

The most important thing.

If that heart were to break free of its seal and reappear in the world, it would probably cause chaos, making him feel as if a storm was about to come.

After today.

I'm afraid the world will not be peaceful anymore.

That night.

Just when endless darkness enveloped the world.

In a cemetery full of tombstones in the Origin Realm, the space suddenly twisted, and a figure with black eyes slowly appeared and came to a tombstone in the center.

The figure stood silently in front of the coffin for a long time, and finally murmured:

“I succeeded.”

"It won't be long before I can gain that power and start a new reincarnation."

"wait for me."

After saying this, the young man disappeared again, as if he had never appeared.
