When this voice rang out, Lin Fan and the other three all looked around the room, looking for the source of the voice, but they weren't able to find a single thing.

Mo Ze Chen and the two girls had been silently watching the entire time because they could tell that this was something that was completely out of their level, so they just wanted to see if they could figure anything out from the conversation that they had.

But hearing the bits of conversation that they did have, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help forming another misunderstanding.

Back on the ship, he had heard the little girl mention that this energy was the energy of the gods which was something that he had put in the back of his mind.

Even in this upper realm, the concept of gods was something that was far away from them, but it was also something that they all yearned for because it seemed like that was the ultimate goal of cultivation to them. After all, the gods were all powerful and ruled over this world, allowing them to do whatever they want, so who didn't want to become a god?

But listening to this conversation now, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help thinking that Lin Fan had something to do with these gods with how casual he was when he heard the mention of the energy of the gods, as well as how casually he had brought it up in conversation.

It was like the gods didn't mean anything to him…

As the voice rang out in the room, everyone was stunned and pulled out of their thoughts, but Mo Ze Chen also couldn't help asking, "Boss, shouldn't we run?"

Seeing that the elders were being this unknown pressure, Mo Ze Chen felt that it was a good chance for them to leave this place. After all, he had seen how random these elders had acted, one moment talking to them in a friendly tone before suddenly attacking them the next.

But Lin Fan shook his head since he could tell that it wasn't that simple.

The pressure that suddenly fallen when Lin Fan had asked about that person, which meant that it must have something to do with that person. Perhaps that person might still be alive and was in charge of this place…

But why wouldn't he want them to talk about him at all?

After a while, the pressure finally disappeared from the room and the five elders were free to stand up again.

Lin Fan looked at them and said, "If there's anything you can't tell me, you can just shake your head."

The elders looked at Lin Fan with a grateful look, but there was a bit of reluctance in their eyes like they resented being controlled like this. However, it was clear that they had no choice in this matter based on what had just happened.

Lin Fan put aside the last question he had asked since he had basically gotten his answer from what had happened and he moved on to his next question.

…

Outside the tree, at the very top branches, the beast still laid there licking its paws.

It had been the one that had sent down the pressure that had silenced the five elders and it still had a displeased look on its face as it muttered, "It seems like everyone is intent on betraying my master…"

The ghost commanders around it had already all disappeared since they had all gone off to handle the task that the beast had given them, but if they were here, they definitely would have run away as well.

The aura that was currently coming from the beast, it was much more ominous than anything that it had ever released before. It was almost as if it wanted to kill the entire world…

But that aura soon calmed down before disappearing.

There was a difference between the cases from before and the cases now.

No matter what, in the end, both the girl and the whale and Faust were outsiders, so the beast didn't care about what happened to them. As long as they were stopped from revealing the secrets that its master wanted to keep, it didn't matter what happened to them.

However, it was different for the ghost elders since they were the people that originally came from the village.

Back when the master still lived in the village, he had taken the village as his place, so the people there naturally belonged to its master. Before its master came back, there was no need for it to eliminate the people that belonged to this village because they would still have a use to play.

That was why the beast had only given the elder ghosts a warning instead of sending down the pillar of golden light on them.

But that didn't stop it from being angered by what the ghost elders had tried to do.

It would remember this, but in front of the master's plan, it meant nothing.

So for now, the beast continued to stew in its anger as it watched the scene unfold.

After a moment's pause, the beast said, "Soon…"

…

Lin Fan had asked the ghost elders quite a few questions and the strange thing was that they had answered them all.

For people who had been listening in, they definitely wouldn't have understood why Lin Fan had asked these questions because the questions that he had asked were all very simple questions. Only people who understood what the situation of these ruins were and had some understanding of the past would understand what he meant.

But he had been so vague that even Mo Ze Chen who did have all of this still couldn't understand everything.

Still, the answers had cleared up quite a few things for Lin Fan, especially what he had to do now.

Lin Fan looked back up at the black haired young man in front of him and asked in a serious voice, "Do you want me to save you all?"

All of the elders revealed a bitter smile when they heard this.

Perhaps if someone had asked this a long time ago, maybe they would have said yes, but it really had just been too long. At this point, all they wanted to do was return to the earth and find eternal peace instead of struggling in this life any longer.

However, they didn't say no immediately either because there was still something that kept them attached to this world. It had kept them attached to this world for thousands of years and it would still keep them attached to this world.

This attachment that they had was the responsibility they had to the people of their village. Before they were saved, they wouldn't be able to rest at peace.

But in the end, it was not that simple for them, so the black haired young man said after a pause, "There is no salvation for us, but if you can free us, then we will be grateful."

Lin Fan knitted his brows slightly since that wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear, but there was something that he did want to hear in that, so he chose to accept it in the end.

Lin Fan didn't say anything else on this topic and instead asked, "Then can you teach me how to control this energy?"

The black haired young man revealed a smile, a true smile this time. All of the elders revealed this same smile because this was what they had wanted to hear.

After all, to accomplish what they wanted him to do, he would have to control this golden energy since it was the most important thing in this realm. Without being able to control it, there was nothing he could do in the end.

The black haired young man reached behind him and pulled out a golden glowing book which he held in front of Lin Fan. After wiping off a bit of the dust on it, he said, "This is what you're looking for. As long as you read this, you'll be able to understand the techniques that we use to control this golden energy."

Lin Fan looked at the book in front of him and couldn't help thinking of the podium that he had seen at the front of the graveyard. On it had been the word "book" that was just like the clues that all the other podiums had. That word was most likely referring to the book that was in front of him.

Once he took this book, it would mean the end of these trials because this was the last location that was marked on the map by the fountain. He could guess what might happen once he did take the book, which was why he was hesitating at this moment.

If his guess was right, then there would be a huge twist in the end that he might not be prepared for.

But then after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that he had something that normal people didn't, his system.

Even though he didn't have a shop open in this upper realm, he could still access the system's store and utilize the points he saved to buy items to help himself with. Not only that, he could still see his point value increasing since the four stores that were on the Blue Star Planet were still operating.

As long as he had this, Lin Fan wasn't worried since the system came from the same place as this energy of the gods, so Lin Fan was certain that he would be able to deal with whatever came at him.

With this thought, Lin Fan placed his hand on the book and allowed its golden glow to enter his body.
