Wang Lin watched as Grand Empyrean Song Tian lifted the Origin Mountain, causing the earth to tremble and black light to spread out from the mountain.
His expression was calm as he coldly looked over.
The mountain rose higher and higher until it completely floated above Song Tian. Song Tian stared at Wang Lin and raised his right hand as if he was holding the mountain.
"Wang Lin, if you can withstand the power of my Origin Mountain, then I admit defeat!"
Song Tian let out a roar and waved his right hand. The giant Origin Mountain shot toward Wang Lin.
"This mountain is called Origin Mountain, the first mountain to be born in the Ancient Shi. It has been countless years and its size hasn't changed at all. After I became a Grand Empyrean on this mountain, I refined it like all the other Grand Empyreans of the Shi Ji clan. Now in my hands, this mountain can use its suppression power once!
Wang Lin, take this! "
The world rumbled and the Origin Mountain descended from above Wang Lin. This mountain was extremely strange, and as it descended, Wang Lin clearly saw all the rules of this world!
When the thin lines descended from the mountain, they were pushed away by a strange force. It was as if there was a great repulsion between the mountain and the law of the world.
Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly as he stood there. His clothes and white hair fluttered as he looked at the incoming mountain. His right hand suddenly clenched and he threw a punch at the mountain.
A punch descended from the air and crashed into the mountain with a distance of one thousand feet between them. As booming sounds echoed in the air, the mountain shuddered, and its speed of descent decreased by a large margin, but it still continued to descend.
The shadow of Wang Lin's punch that collided with the mountain trembled and shattered. At the same time, a powerful pressure descended on Wang Lin and the space around Wang Lin was divided. It was as if the world he was in had been completely separated from his surroundings.
"Interesting!"
Wang Lin smiled. The Primal Mountain Suppression mystique was surprisingly similar to the Ancient Ancestor's finger. However, the Ancient Ancestor's finger allowed the sky and earth to collapse to kill the enemy. But the Primal Mountain Suppression used the sky and earth to prevent people from escaping, so they could only be suppressed.
"They are indeed worthy of being Grand Empyreans. On the Immortal Astral Continent, none of the nine Grand Empyreans were weak. Each Grand Empyrean had their own spells!
For example, Song Tian's Origin Mountain can repel rules and reach the level of Ji Zu's finger that can split space. Although it's not a faith art, it's enough to be proud of, "Wang A looked at the approaching mountain and muttered to himself.
His eyes lit up. With his current cultivation level, aside from Gu Dao, there was no other Grand Empyreans that could make him feel dread. Wang Lin didn't care about the other Grand Empyreans. Although Origin Mountain was extraordinary, it was only extraordinary.
Wang Lin's expression was calm. He raised his right hand and pointed at the incoming Origin Mountain.
This was the Ancient Ancestor's finger spell.
With one finger, the world changed colors and the clouds scattered. The space separated by Origin Mountain rumbled and visible cracks appeared around Wang Lin. The cracks became larger and larger until it was about to collapse; it couldn't withstand it anymore.
As for Origin Mountain, it trembled under Wang Lin's finger and stopped hundreds of feet away from Wang Lin. It continued to tremble but was unable to continue sinking.
Just at this moment, the space around Wang Lin collapsed. Wang Lin stepped out and looked at Song Tian, who was not far away.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Bitterness appeared on Song Tian's face, but he clenched his teeth and jumped onto Origin Mountain. He bit the tip of his tongue and coughed out a mouthful of blood. The blood turned into mist and was quickly absorbed by the mountain. Song Tian sat down cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands, and let out a roar.
"Origin Suppression!"
A loud rumble came from Origin Mountain and it broke free from the tremors. It descended once more and charged at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin shook his head and moved. He didn't wait for Origin Mountain to sink and appeared under it. He raised his right hand and pressed down on the mountain.
The moment his palm landed, the mountain trembled. Song Tian coughed out blood once more and was knocked back. He only stopped after retreating a few steps.
At this moment, the rays of light coming from Shiji Imperial City closed in and turned into dozens of people. The person at the front was an old man in a royal robe. He looked at Wang Lin and his expression changed.
Wang Lin didn't look at the people coming. After Song Tian was knocked back from Origin Mountain, he waved his sleeves. Origin Mountain immediately rotated and slowly shrank until it was the size of a palm and landed on Wang Lin's right hand.
After the mountain shrank, it looked like a bull's head. The broken horns had also returned to normal.
Song Tian saw this and his body staggered. He retreated once more and his face turned pale. This mountain was the same size as before. No Grand Empyrean of the Ancient Shi had been able to shrink a mountain to this extent.
However, this Wang Lin didn't even need to refine it to make it shrink. From the looks of it, he could control it freely. Song Tian felt bitter in his heart and let out a sigh. He gave up all resistance and clasped his hands at Wang Lin.
"I … admit defeat!"
As Song Tian spoke, he turned around to look at the incoming crowd. All of them had shaken expressions on their faces. Clearly, they were shocked by what had just happened.
"I'm the guardian of the Ancient Shi and a Grand Empyrean. Today, I recognize Prince Ji Du as the emperor of my Ancient Shi in 100 years!" Song Tian slowly said, and his gaze finally fell on the old man in the royal robe.
This old man was the current Ancient Shi emperor. He hesitated and wanted to say something, but after looking at Wang Cai, he silently pondered. He clasped his hands at Song Tian and nodded.
Prince Ji Du's face was filled with excitement and felt like this was unreal. What he had yearned for had been obtained so easily. This caused him to be in a trance, but he wasn't an arrogant person. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and instantly arrived before Wang Lin.
He hesitated a bit and didn't thank Song Tian or his father first. Instead, he turned around and knelt down before Wang Lin before his father, Song Tian, the powerful cultivators of the Shi Ji Imperial City, and even the princes.
"Thank you, Godfather, for granting my wish!"
As soon as he knelt and said those words, the expressions of everyone in the area, with the exception of Doomsday, changed. Their gazes were filled with disbelief and disbelief.
In the Ancient Shi where imperial power was supreme, a prince, especially one who had confirmed his identity and was about to become the emperor of the Ancient Shi, had actually knelt down and recognized someone as his godfather!!
This matter had exceeded the imagination of the surrounding people. In an instant, it caused an uproar.
"Ji Du, what are you doing!?"
The first to speak was a middle-aged man standing next to the Ancient Shi emperor. [This person is the Crown Prince!]
In the distance, Chi Man's heart was filled with reluctance, but he couldn't change anything. However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ji Du, as a prince, how can you casually recognize someone as your father!?
Especially when you, the future emperor, actually kneel to one of the Ancient Dao's six Empyreans!! "
The Shi Ji emperor remained silent as he watched his son kneel before Wang Lin. There was a flash of gloominess in his eyes.
The uproar caused Ji Du's face to turn pale, but his eyes were filled with determination as he looked at Wang Lin. He knew what he was doing. He was going to use this to tell his godfather that even if he became the emperor, Wang Lin was still his godfather!
Wang Lin also looked at Ji Du. He didn't expect Ji Du to have the courage to do such a thing before his father and so many of his family members.
Ji Du could have secretly fulfilled his godfather's words and the promise from back then. This way, his process of becoming the emperor would be much smoother and not like now, where there would be some twists and turns.
The uproar became louder and louder, but Song Tian remained silent. The Ancient Shi emperor also didn't speak, but his eyes became even more gloomy.
Wang Lin slowly said, "Ji Du, I'll accept you as my godson!"
Ji Du took a deep breath. Before this, Wang Lin hadn't acknowledged Devour. He had only called Wang Lin his godfather. Now that he heard Wang Lin's words, Ji Du bowed once more.
"100 years from now, you will be the Shi Ji emperor!"
Wang Lin didn't look at everyone but looked toward the Ancient Shi imperial city. He could vaguely see a towering statue in the Ancient Shi imperial city. This statue was of the Ancient Ancestor.
That was where the ancestral temple was.
The Crown Prince and Chi Man's faces were pale. They seemed to want to speak, but the Ancient Shi emperor and the old man in the royal robe seemed to understand. They let out a sigh and spoke for the first time.
"It is my son's fortune and the glory of my Ancient Shi to have King Wang as my godfather. I'm not the Shi Ji emperor who can't distinguish right from wrong. I didn't force King Wang away and caused trouble for myself … I ask King Wang to stay in my Ancient Shi. If you have any requests, I will definitely satisfy them!" The old man in the royal robe clasped his hands and bowed at Wang Lin.
At this moment, Song Tian smiled and said to Wang Lin, "Brother Wang, if you don't have anywhere else to go, how about you stay here and witness Ji Du becoming the emperor 100 years from now?"
Ji Du got up and respectfully said to the Shi Ji emperor, "Father, Godfather wants to go to the ancestral temple. I have agreed, but I need to ask Father's opinion."
"The ancestral temple?
If King Wang wants to go, then I will naturally agree! "The old man in the royal robe didn't hesitate and smiled.
He didn't dare to disagree, and he didn't dare to have any opinion about Ji Du taking this person as his godfather.
This Lord Wang had killed the Ancient Dao Emperor and broke into the Blessed Dao palace. Even Grand Empyrean Gu Dao hadn't said a word about this. He was even more certain that not even Song Tian was a match for Wang Lin, so how could he dare to offend him?
The imperial power was supreme, but it had no effect on such a person.
He had been writing very slowly recently. When he woke up in the morning, he would look at the outline of the last part of the document in a daze.
