Chapter 1637: Instinctive Fear
Chang'e did not deny Lin Chen's guess. She just said: "I have said before that I have never entered the 999th floor, so I can only know the specific situation after going up."
Lin Chen was stunned, then nodded slowly.
So far, it's all just speculation, and only the many details known have led to such a very possible situation.
Lin Chen didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but the many connections must not be as simple as coincidence.
"After you ascended that time, you have been in this giant Earth King Tower. During this period, was it true that no one climbed to the 999th floor?" Lin Chen asked.
"No." Chang'e shook her head, then paused, and said with a slight hesitation: "Probably not."
Then she said: "Actually, I am not awake all the time. Most of the time, I am in a state of enlightenment. Although I will wake up when there is a fluctuation, it is impossible for anyone to enter the 998 levels without Noticed by me."
"But this kind of thing is difficult to say with certainty. If there is a being similar to the Emperor or that boy, an invincible genius blessed with such luck, maybe he can really enter the 999th floor without alerting me. "
When Lin Chen heard this, he immediately thought of the last of the Three Emperors.
The three ancient emperors each led an era. It seemed that they had no intersection, but now Lin Chen understood that it was only on the surface. At least the emperor and the emperor were conspiring together.
As for the ancient Human Emperor, as one of the Three Emperors, and even the only one with the title of Human Emperor, he was naturally extremely outstanding, even surpassing the two previous Human Emperors.
Could it be that the Human Emperor came here and took away the twelve copper coffins that were made?
The Twelve Bronze Coffins were born after the Nine Heavens God-Slaying Technique was perfected, that is, in the present era. In this era, the two emperors of heaven and earth have long since disappeared, and perhaps the only one who can do it is the human emperor.
So who is that person?
The previous guess was just a rough path, and many steps were unknown, such as how to transport those figures through the copper coffin.
The first thing Lin Chen thought of was Zhang Tianxue's dream.
And that clay pot.
Zhang Tianxue said that she saw someone pulling twelve copper coffins forward in the darkness, towards a light. The light fell from the sky and was an upward hole leading to an unknown place.
Now that I think about it, is it possible that the place where the man was walking was the ghost country, and that hole was the bottomless pit leading from the human world to the ghost country?
Lin Chen took a deep breath. This speculation was a bit taken for granted and it was difficult to prove it.
But now, the Earth King's giant tower, twelve copper coffins, earthen jars, and even the three ancient emperors seem to have been connected by a line, and they are planning something.
By being so secretive, they are cheating the world!
Lin Chen rubbed his brows, feeling a little irritated for no reason. He was trying to recall every detail, trying not to make any mistakes or omissions. Twelve copper coffins, figures, dragging coffins...
etc!
Lin Chen suddenly remembered something.
silhouette.
How many figures?
Ten, twelve, ten... thirteen!
Although what he saw at that time was very vague, but now he kept recalling and deepening every memory detail, Lin Chen suddenly realized that there were thirteen figures at the bottom of the lava abyss!
It’s not twelve bronze coffins, it’s thirteen bronze coffins!
Where is the other copper coffin?
Different batches?
Or was it not manufactured at all?
Or perhaps, a suitable host has not been found yet!
At the thought of this, Lin Chen instinctively began to tremble, and a fear deeper than ever before enveloped him, covering every inch of flesh and blood and every thought.
There is no other host for the Nine Heavens Killing God Technique. If it can be used, there are far more hosts than the thirteen before. It must not be too difficult to gather thirteen.
The reason there are only twelve is that there are only twelve hosts that meet the requirements.
So who is the thirteenth?
It can only be him!
Lin Chen was silent, as silent as death. He found it difficult to accept such speculation for a moment.
"What is going on?" Bai Shu was also confused.
Although I had already thought about similar possibilities when I first learned about the existence of the Twelve Copper Coffins, the existence of the Twelve Copper Coffins was obviously aimed at the holders of the Nine Heavens Killing God Technique.
Lin Chen will naturally be threatened.
But to this day, the threat has not appeared, and Lin Chen's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and now he can fight with the high-level master.
He has almost forgotten the threat of the Twelve Bronze Coffins. Even if the threat arises, with his current strength, he can easily deal with it.
After all, compared to past generations of hosts, Lin Chen is much stronger.
But now I suddenly feel that this threat has not gone away, but the time has not yet come.
But if all this is really planned by the Three Emperors, will they choose to sacrifice others in order to achieve their goals?
The great Three Emperors are famous throughout the ages, not just because they are powerful enough, but also because of their nobility, because they are willing to be the pioneers of the human race, shouldering the responsibility of the human race and even the entire world.
"To be honest, I don't want to go to the 999th floor anymore. I want to leave here!" Lin Chen said bitterly.
At this moment, he was facing danger for the first time in his life and wanted to escape.
This was not in line with his character, but the emotion was so real that Lin Chen was unwilling to deny it.
"It seems that what you thought is a bit more terrifying than what I thought." Chang'e sighed slightly.
"I don't know whether I am expected to do this or whether I am considered to be an important step," Lin Chen said with a wry smile.
There seems to be no difference between the two, but the underground Chang'e heard Lin Chen's doubts and resistance.
"Without the truth, everything is just speculation. Do you want to retreat forever because of speculation?" The underground Chang'e said lightly.
Lin Chen froze, then exhaled and nodded.
Yes, everything is just speculation at the moment. You can't retreat because of speculation. In this way, what stands in front of you is not danger, but fear in your heart.
Even if Lin Chen is confused occasionally, he will not allow himself to be defeated by fear.
Lin Chen calmed down a bit. He knew that the final answer could only be known after he reached the 999th floor. At that moment, he asked curiously: "Senior, did the Jade Emperor fail in his ascension? Did he die?"
"It's hard to say," the underground Chang'e shook her head. "He had a chance to succeed, but the high-level gods thought that if someone like him ascended to the divine world, it would probably cause turmoil in the divine world from within. So even if the Jade Emperor expressed his willingness to surrender, the gods still did not allow him to succeed."
"It's just that the Jade Emperor's ability to deceive the heavens has reached an extremely high level. The gods can't lock him through the divine curtain, so they came to me."
"They promised me to ascend, and gave me many heaven-defying fortunes. At the same time, they gave me the Heavenly Dao God Seed!" The underground Chang'e said with a burning look.
Heavenly Dao God Seed!
Zhuzhu mentioned that the Jade Emperor had a flaw in the Great Dao because the Heavenly Dao God Seed was implanted in his body. The failure of the ascension was most likely related to this!
It turned out that Chang'e had colluded with the gods long ago.
No wonder that Chang'e's result was different when the Heavenly Court ascended to heaven, and now the Heavenly Dao Chang'e has entered the God Realm.
"Although the gods guaranteed my safety at that time, it was strange that the Jade Emperor did not choose to kill me after discovering the Heavenly Dao God Seed. After I led Tianpeng and Dayi to kill each other, he was indifferent. Not long after, he chose to ascend to heaven."
"So I always suspect that he did not fall in the ascension, but I don't know what happened. If he survived, with his ability to deceive the sky, no one would be able to find him unless he showed up on his own initiative," said the Earthly Dao Chang'e.
Sometimes Lin Chen really admires Chang'e. Even such a serious betrayal and shameless act that makes people despise her, she can say it so easily.
It seems that she really only has power in her heart. As for other things, whether it is virtue, beauty, or even love, they are just tools.
She is really a pure person.
"I plan to go to the 999th floor. What are your plans next, senior?" Lin Chen asked
