Chapter 642 Ancient World (8)

Lin Fan was unaware of what was happening since all he could see was the white of the blinding light that had fallen in front of him.

However, after that light fell, there was a powerful force that suddenly threw him back, slamming him against the tree that was behind him.

The force was so strong that as soon as he hit the tree, his consciousness started to fade.

The last thing that he saw after the flash of white light was the crater that had been left where the mountain that held the shelter had been. There was smoke coming from the crater, but there wasn't a single thing left in that crater.

Lin Fan tried reaching out with his hand with the last bit of strength that he had, but he couldn't do it in the end and his hands slumped to the ground.

It was at that moment that his vision faded and it all turned to black.

…

Up in the sky, there was an eagle beast that turned to the dragon beast that was in the center of their formation and asked, "My lord, there was no need for you to personally make a move was there?"

The dragon didn't even look at the eagle as it stared down at the crater where his pillar of lightning had just fallen.

After a long period of silence, the dragon suddenly said, "There was something strange about this area."

The eagle immediately asked, "My lord, do you want us to search the area and see what we can find?"

The dragon didn't answer right away as it knitted its brows, but after a while, it said, "It's fine, there's no aura of life from this area anymore. Let's not waste any more time and finish off this planet." Then it changed the topic and asked, "Did you find any traces of the traitor yet?"

The eagle revealed a difficult expression as it said, "We're currently searching for it with full force, but we haven't been able to find anything so far…"

The dragon gave a cold snort when it heard this, but it didn't reprimand the eagle. Instead the dragon said, "Find it as soon as possible, I don't want to stay on this lower planet longer than I have to. It's disgusting seeing all these lower beings running around like bugs."

Then after some thought, the dragon added, "Bring the traitor to me alive, I want to personally destroy his soul."

The eagle immediately bowed its head before saying, "Yes, my lord."

Then without any hesitation, it headed off to pass down the dragon's orders.

The dragon looked down at the hole that it had created in the ground one more time, then it turned its head and headed off in another direction without looking back.

On the ground, there was a black sphere near the crater that had been watching the beasts in the sky the entire time.

When this black sphere saw the beasts suddenly flying off, it let out a sigh of relief, but it didn't let its guard down.

Turning around, it looked at the human that was covered in a dark energy barrier on the ground and said, "You can't die on me just yet. I have big plans and you're the one who's going to help me put those plans into action, so I can't let you die just yet."

…

When Lin Fan woke up again, the first thing he did was look around to see if there was anyone around, but he found that he was lying on the ground by the crater by himself.

He couldn't react right away to what was happening, but as his mind slowly cleared, he finally remembered what had happened.

He had been about to lead the warriors to take care of the beasts when there was that sudden flash of light that had knocked him out.

Lin Fan immediately stood up and headed to the side of the crater. Looking down into the crater, he found that he couldn't even see the bottom of the crater.

Lin Fan understood what this meant, but he wouldn't let himself give up just yet.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan started moving around the outside of the crater, trying to see if there was anything that he could find. However, even after circling the entire crater, he wasn't able to find a single thing.

It wasn't just humans that he couldn't find, he also couldn't find a single trace of the beasts that had invaded.

Lin Fan knitted his brows to think and then after a while, he decided to head back to the town.

When he came back to the town, the first thing that hit his nose was the strong scent of blood in the air. Then when he made his way through the town, he was able to find where that strong scent of blood came from.

Strewed all over the town were ripped apart corpses of the people who had once lived here.

Some of them had bites taken out of them, but it seemed that most of them were just ripped apart for the sake of entertainment.

Lin Fan couldn't understand what the beasts had wanted to achieve with this, but that didn't stop him from feeling rage from these actions.

After searching through the entire town, he found that he wasn't able to find a single living being which confirmed the guess that he had had.

As the reality of the situation hit him, even with how strong Lin Fan was mentally, he couldn't stop his emotions from taking over.

Just one minute he had been at his wedding, but then the next, everything that he had held dear had been taken away from him. It felt like the world was collapsing around him and he felt like it was getting harder to breath as he fell to his knees.

He almost felt like he was about to faint, but then there was a voice that suddenly rang out from above him that said, "Do you want revenge?"

Lin Fan wasn't sure what had happened, but then he realized that someone had indeed spoken.

Gathering himself, he looked around, but he found that he couldn't see a single thing.

Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that he was hearing illusions from his distress, but then the voice rang out again to say, "You're not hearing things. I'm asking you, do you want revenge?"

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Fan asked, "Who are you?"

The voice responded right away, "That's not important right now. Just answer the question."

Lin Fan knew that this conversation wouldn't continue if he didn't say a thing, so he responded, "Yes, I want revenge."

The voice suddenly broke out in laughter as it said, "Ha, ha, very good. Then tell me, if I said that I could give you the power to take that revenge, would you take it?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows the moment he heard this.

He didn't answer right away and after a bit of thought, he asked, "What do you want in return?"

The voice had a bit of a pout to it as it suddenly said, "You've just lost your family and friends and now that someone is offering you the chance to take revenge, you won't accept it? You really are a cold person."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this, but he said, "If you had good intentions, you would have answered the question. Since you didn't answer the question, you clearly don't have good intentions and there's nothing for me to consider. If I'm alive, I can take revenge, but if I die, that would be the end, wouldn't it?"

The voice fell silent for a bit before suddenly bursting out with laughter.

After this laughter faded, there was a black ball of light that suddenly appeared in front of Lin Fan.

The black ball of light circled around him a few times before stopping in front of him and saying, "It seems like I made the right choice saving you. You really are the one that I need for my revenge."

Lin Fan knitted his brows once again when he heard this.

Saved him?

When did it save him?

The black ball of light saw the confused look on Lin Fan's face and gave a snort before saying, "You really think you could have survived that pillar of lightning by yourself? Even if it didn't hit you directly, if it wasn't for me, you would have been fried to a crisp by the shockwave that it released."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this and he asked, "Then couldn't you have saved everyone else?"

The black ball of light gave a sigh before saying, "Do you really think that I'm all powerful? It took quite a bit of energy just to save you."

Lin Fan had some knowledge about cultivation from his previous time, so he said, "If you can exist in soul form like this, your cultivation should have been quite strong when you were still alive. If that's the case, why couldn't you save everyone?"

The black ball of light fell silent this time. After a long silence, it said in a cold voice, "And why would I sacrifice myself to save a bunch of humans?"

Lin Fan didn't refute it when he heard this, instead he asked, "Then why did you save me?"

The black ball of light gave a chuckle and said, "I've already said it before, you are the one who will help me take my revenge. So how about it, will you work with me?"
