Lin Fan just sat there in the chair, but there was also a hint of a bitter look that appeared on his face as well.

He didn't say a thing as if he hadn't heard what the woman in the blue dress had said, but the woman in the blue dress just waited for his answer.

After a while, Lin Fan finally said, "What if I was wrong?"

The moment that the woman in the blue dress heard this answer, her expression was filled with shock.

The lord was admitting that he was wrong?

This was something that she had never heard before.

She couldn't even help thinking that this was a fake lord…

But when she looked carefully at the golden light around Lin Fan, she knew that there was nothing to doubt. Only the lord would have this kind of energy around him, there was no other that could imitate it.

However, when she realized all of this, she couldn't help feeling even more unsure and even a bit angry.

Everything that they had now was built on the countless sacrifices of their comrades and now the lord was saying something like this?

It would be strange if she didn't feel angry at this moment.

But she didn't dare lose her temper with the lord, so she said in a voice that was a bit snappy, "My lord, you have to remember what this is all for. If you were to give up all of this now, how could we…"

She didn't finish her words, but the implied meaning of these words were clear.

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help giving another sigh as more bitterness filled his face. But even then, he still didn't say anything.

He just looked at the woman in the blue dress, but it was clear by the distant look in his eyes that he wasn't actually looking at her. Rather he was looking at something that was far off in the past.

After a moment, Lin Fan gave a long sigh and said, "It's not the time to discuss this right now."

The woman in the blue dress quickly cut him off, "But my lord, if we don't do this now, it'll be too…"

Lin Fan raised a hand to cut her off and said, "Enough, I understand your worries and I will handle them at my own discretion." Then his tone changed as he said in a serious voice, "What do you think are his chances of passing this trial?"

The woman in the blue dress knitted her brows, but they relaxed just as quickly as she remembered the final question that Lin Fan asked. After a while, she shook her head with a faint smile and said, "It seems like he already has his answer." Then her face filled with a trace of sadness as she said, "If we had been able to find that answer in the past, then…"

Lin Fan gave a sigh as well before saying, "What's past is past, there's no changing it. We can only look to the future."

The woman in the blue dress knitted her brows again as she said, "My lord…"

Lin Fan raised his hand to cut her off since he knew what she was going to say. He just shook his head and said, "Enough."

The woman in the blue dress fell to one knee again and gave another bow before leaving the room without saying another word.

Lin Fan just looked at the screens on the side of the room.

In these screens, there were images of various different people attempting trials.

When one looked at these people carefully, they would see that they were the various members of the twelve great factions who had come into the Ancient Era Ruins with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan just looked at these screens with a glazed look as if he was thinking about something. However, as for what he was thinking, that was anyone's guess.

…

When Lin Fan's vision cleared again, he found that he was back to resting with his pets.

He turned in one direction and as he had expected, there was a flash of light that appeared before a little fairy boy came out.

As soon as the little fairy boy came out, he looked around until he saw Lin Fan. When his eyes fell onto Lin Fan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The little boy ignored all the beasts around it and floated over to Lin Fan, looking over him as if he was sizing him up.

After a long pause, the little boy said, "Not bad, not bad. I can see why the lords have chosen you."

Lin Fan felt a sense of deja vu when he heard this because he had heard these words before.

It seemed like the woman in the blue dress wasn't even giving him a chance to save the people that Xia Yu cared about, she had just thrown him right into the climax of the story.

The reason that Lin Fan had asked his final question was that he had thought of a way to save them, but now it seemed like it wasn't allowed at all. It seemed like those events had to happen to shape Xia Yu's path or else everything would have turned out differently, which was not what they were testing for.

So since he didn't have a choice, Lin Fan would have to use his second method.

He had wanted to use the first method to give Xia Yu a good ending, but now it seemed like he wouldn't be able to do so.

As Lin Fan fell into deep thought, the little boy had been talking the entire time and was just finishing up what he was saying. It was only then that the little boy realized that Lin Fan hadn't been listening the entire time.

When the little boy saw this, he was naturally annoyed since he was the distinguished messenger of the gods, but he suppressed his anger since the gods had given him strict orders.

So instead of cursing him like he normally would have done, the little boy asked, "Lin Fan, are you listening to me?"

Lin Fan hadn't been listening at all, but when he heard the little boy call out to him, he came back to his senses and said, "Un, so the gods want me to fight for them."

The little boy was surprised since he hadn't even mentioned anything about this just yet. He had been explaining how it was an honour for Lin Fan to be chosen by the gods for this mission, he hadn't gotten to the part where there would be a fight.

So before he had mentioned anything, Lin Fan had already brought it up himself.

It seemed like he had completely underestimated this Lin Fan's information system since he was even able to find out this information that the gods had hidden.

At the same time, it also made him wary since this could also mean that Lin Fan was a spy for the other universe…

But still, the little boy had his orders, so all he needed to do was bring Lin Fan to the battlefield. There really wasn't a need for him to think about much else.

If Lin Fan really was a spy, he wouldn't be able to hide it from the gods.

So the little boy then said, "Since you know all of this, there's no need for me to explain it. Are you ready to go?"

Lin Fan looked at him and asked, "What if I don't want to fight?"

The little boy's body trembled the moment he heard this as he revealed a shocked look.

What was this Lin Fan saying?

Did he not know how important this fight was?

That was the only way that he could say these kinds of words. After all, if they lost in this war, it would be the end of their universe.

He couldn't help saying, "Do you know what you are even saying?"

Lin Fan looked right at him and said, "Does it matter to me if the Outers take over this universe?"

The little boy narrowed his eyes the moment he heard this.

The fact that Lin Fan had used the name Outers meant that he was clear on what was happening and he did know of the consequences, so how could he be that nonchalant about this?

The little boy knew that this situation wasn't good, so he had no choice but to release a bit of his aura as he said in a threatening voice, "Once again I ask you, do you even know what you are saying?"

Lin Fan didn't hold back either as he released his aura as well.

The moment that the little boy felt Lin Fan's aura, he felt a chill run down his back.

He was certain that he had underestimated Lin Fan since he knew that he wasn't a match for Lin Fan at all. Not to mention that there were the rumours about Lin Fan's pets that were just as strong as him.

He couldn't even face a single Lin Fan, so how could he face Lin Fan fighting with his pets?

But as the little boy was trying to figure out how to escape from this place, Lin Fan suddenly pulled back his aura and said with a laugh, "Why are you so serious?"

The little boy was shocked when he heard this.

Lin Fan didn't bother giving him a chance to speak as he just said, "Give me a week and then I'll come with you."

After saying this, Lin Fan stood up and left this planet with his pets, leaving behind the little boy with a stunned look on his face.
