984 The World's Today

Lin Fan had a happy dinner with his family. However, he felt tired during the entire ordeal instead of being happy.

In the end, some of his wives noticed something was wrong after he refused to spend the night with them.

Although Lin Fan used the excuse that he had just revived and his body was extremely weak, a small number of them noticed something was wrong.

However, his excuse was indeed justified. With his current fleshly body, something might happen if he were to lay with so many women.

Lin Min led his son to another room to rest.

"Son, what are you going to do?"

"You know?"

"I don't know the exact details, but I know the situation should change after Shi'er proves the Dao."

Lin Fan sighed before explaining the conversation he had with her. "Father, what do you think I should do?"

"I understand the point of her view. As an Eternal Emperor, she cannot be humiliated, and in the worst-case scenario, she could secretly eliminate all the others. Simultaneously, I also understand why you don't want to abandon the people who have accompanied you since you were weak," said Lin Min.

"I think you're overestimating things. Shi'er would never do something like that."

"You're the one underestimating her. She's an Eternal Emperor. She does not need to take action herself to deal with them. The destiny or karmic connection of being the hated concubine of an Eternal Emperor is enough to ruin their luck and result in their death."

Lin Fan frowned as he did not think things were so severe, "Are Great Emperors so powerful?"

Lin Min sighed, "The difference between the mortal and immortal stage of cultivation is more grand than you could imagine⌜€“especially for the Emperor Path. Every Great Emperor is blessed by Grand Dao itself, making their existence completely different from other immortals, let alone mortals."

"It seems I have to make up for my lack of knowledge," muttered Lin Fan, discovering another downside to his early death. "Father, you haven't told me what I should do."

"In this situation, the best advice I can give you is to follow your heart."

"Follow my heart? That's harder than it sounds."

"Matters of the heart are always as such," replied Lin Min.

"Take some time to rest and make your decision. Now that you're back, I can revive your mother."

"Mom?" His mother died very young, so he only remembered her after his cultivation reached a certain level, and he had absolute control of his memories. From his memory, she was a kind and nourishing woman, always with a bright smile on her face that could reassure people.

"Yes, you should see her again."

After so many years, his father should pursue his own happiness. Lin Min soon left the room, but Lin Fan did not rest as he still had to see his teacher.

"How are you feeling?" asked Qiu Jin.

"A little bit tired and overwhelmed."

"That's understandable. Do you want me to come back tomorrow?"

"No, it's fine." Lin Fan set up the table and served tea.

"Your situation should not be too good."

"I guess I should not be surprised that the academy knows my situation," said Lin Fan with a wry smile.

"Basically."

"Do they have an official stand on the issue?"

"Yes, but don't worry about them. The final decision is ultimately yours," said Qiu Jin, and Lin Fan gave him a look. He was not stupid and guessed the academy wanted him to choose Xu Shi. After all, the benefits of this choice were the best for them.

"Teacher, I'm glad you're on my side."

"I have watched you grow up. Although I never said it, I always treated you as my son. So, don't worry about the academy and focus on yourself⌜€“choose the path you feel will leave you with the least regret."

"The path of least regret," muttered Lin Fan, looking at the tea set before him. A few seconds later, he sighed and said, "This is indeed the best way."

"You still have some time before making a decision.

Before that, you can focus on your strengths and future," continued Qiu Jin.

"The next generation's battle?"

"No, the one after that."

"What do you mean?"

"Most of the factions of the world have unofficially designated the next battle to the Dao Opening Sect."

"Them? Why? Wang W...I mean, the Heavenly Emperor should ascend by then."

Lin Fan paused as he remembered something. "Wang Tian?"

"Yes, it should belong to him."

"Why? From what I remember, although he was talented, it was not to the level that everyone needs to make way for him."

Qiu Jin gave him an odd look, "Didn't the headmaster mention the Ultimate Swordsmanship Battle?"

"She did, but only briefly."'

"In that fight, Wang Tian displayed strength and potential, not weaker than the best of this generation, and that's before he had such a powerful son to help him train.

"Of course, this is not the real reason these factions have given up on the next generation's battle."

"Do they fear the Heavenly Emperor will kill the next Emperor if it's not his father?" asked Lin Fan.

"Exactly. Even if he ascends, leaving some methods to eliminate the next Emperor should be no problem. As such, most factions have given up on the next battle; some even have given up on the one after that to consider his mother and the Yu Clan."

Lin Fan groaned, "The world has become a hundred times more complicated since I died."

"Yes, and it will continue to become more complex,"

warned Qiu Jin. "So, you must change and adapt as soon as possible."

Lin Fan sipped his tea before exhaling, "What's the plan?"

"The Dream World is a prelude to a Heaven Chosen Battle with members from across the entire lower dimension.

The main plan is for you to participate in this battle and get a top 10 position, even the first.

"With so much destiny and luck, you can seal yourself and wake up in the fourth generation."

Lin Fan nodded. With his wife, he won't have to worry about karma. As for the seal, since he does not have to wash away his karma, the process was similar to taking a long nap. One minute, he closed his eyes, and the next, a few million years passed, and it was already time for him to compete in the Heaven Will Battle.

"Right now, you need to prepare for the meeting with the Heavenly Emperor," continued Qiun Jin. "According to our analysis, there is a high probability that the chance he will grant is to give the Heaven Chosen of our world an advantage in the upcoming Endless Void Heaven Chosen Battle."

"He's so generous?"

Yes, especially since the growth of the world benefits him."

"I see."

Qiu Jin patted him on the shoulder. "Leave matters of the heart behind for now. Focus on cultivating and regaining your strength."

"I will." Lin Fan felt such a decision should not be rushed.

"I recommend you see the world; it might help settle your state of mind," said Qiu Jin before leaving. The next day, Lin Fan reunited with the upper echelons of the academy to show his return. Afterward, he followed his teacher's advice and began a tour of the Myriad Emperor World.

The academy provided Lin Fan with protection even though they knew no one could do anything to him with the headmaster present. However, the protection did not show up after the academy considered Qiu Jin's advice.

As soon as he exited the academy, he took a deep breath, feeling refreshed as ever. He finally noticed the exaggerated change in the environment.

'Is this Innate Qi?'

Although Lin Fan lost his cultivation, his soul was still sublimated after death, allowing him to sense the energy in the environment.

'I cannot imagine the geniuses that will be born in such an environment. The battle for the throne will be even more intense from now on.'

Lin Fan began his walk in the world, viewing things from the point of view of a mortal. He had heard about the rise of mortal civilization, but it was a completely different experience after seeing it with his own eyes.

Lin Fan was in awe as he visited countless domains from one continent to another using only mortal technology.

He never expected mortals to have such potential.

'I have to admit his abilities are unlike anything the world has seen,' thought Lin Fan with a sigh as she ate noodles in a restaurant on the southern continent.

He looked at the view outside.

'The essence of this era will be innovation,' analyzed Lin Fan. 'Every Heavenly Emperor will try to change the world and leave an impact in history.'

He could foresee how much the world will fluctuate or change in the future. Each generation of the Myriad Emperor World might be different than the last.

'Some people might go too far in their attempt to change the world. However, he should have prepared for such a future.'

Lin Fan finished his noodles and continued his journey.

With each place he sees, his mind becomes calm as he adapts to the world. Finally, after visiting most of the world, Lin Fan's state of mind sublimated as he became in tune with nature, reaching a state of unity between man and nature.

Afterward, he did not hesitate to enter the Dream World.

Besides the Heavenly Court, it's one of the few places he wanted to visit the most. He wanted to experience a few things for himself before he could truly understand and process them.
