The generals and ministers all fell silent when they heard this, but they were clearly very focused.
They had all received the reports that Lin Fan had been able to negate the strange laws that had been causing them all those troubles in both the Mu Stellar Kingdom and the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
The only way that this would happen is if he had some way to deal with them.
That was what they had been waiting for the entire time since with those strange laws, the Beast Race had been slowly pushing them back. They hadn't been able to analyze those strange laws since they were unfamiliar with the structure of those strange laws, so they hadn't been able to find a way to deal with it.
Seeing this, Lin Fan began telling them everything.
Once he had finished describing the things that he had done to take care of all those Beast Race troops, he started going into detail about the things that he had found.
This was also what the ministers and generals cared about the most since the things that Lin Fan had told them were things they had already read from the reports. Of course, there were a few things that they hadn't heard before that could only be told from Lin Fan's perspective, but those things weren't that important.
Lin Fan started telling them about what he had found about the laws of the Outers and more importantly, he started telling them the ways that he had found to counter them.
During this, the ministers and generals cut in quite a few times for explanations which he slowly and carefully answered.
After all, these were things that weren't from their universe, so it was hard for them to understand in the first place.
Lin Fan was able to wrap his head around these concepts because he wasn't from this world either…or at least half of him wasn't from this world.
That part of his soul came from a different earth that had all kinds of fiction, including science fiction which gave him an understanding of the concepts behind the laws of the Outers.
This world wasn't as developed in that area because with cultivation, the things that people would have written novels about were in real life.
So they were more focused on cultivating than developing their imagination of what could have been.
Once Lin Fan had finished explaining everything, the ministers and generals all sat there with confused looks of thought on their faces. It was clear that they were thinking as deeply as they could to understand the things that Lin Fan had just told them about.
But this was a whole new world for them, so it was hard for them to understand in the end.
It would take some time for them to digest all of this information.
During this time, Lin Fan turned to the Lin Astral Emperor and said, "Great grandfather, I would like permission to return to the battlefield."
When the Lin Astral Emperor heard this, he was pulled out of his thoughts. He had been lost in thought as well trying to understand the new concepts that Lin Fan had told him about.
But as soon as he heard this, the Lin Astral Emperor deeply knitted his brows and simply asked, "Why?"
Even though his words were simple, there was a deep meaning behind his words.
To put it plainly, he didn't want Lin Fan to head to the battlefield.
Lin Fan was his precious successor and his precious grandson, so he couldn't bear to watch him head to a dangerous place like the battlefield.
Even if he was much stronger than he was before, there were still powerful experts on the side of the Beast Race and he didn't want Lin Fan to be in danger. There was nothing that was definite in this world, but at the very least, staying in the capital would be safer than going to the battlefield.
But at the same time, he understood why Lin Fan wanted to go…
Still, it was better for Lin Fan to stay in the capital and grow stronger. At the very least, the Lin Astral Empire wouldn't fall so quickly that they would have to depend on someone who hadn't matured yet to defend it.
Lin Fan knew everything that the Lin Astral Emperor was thinking as well, but there was a reason that he had to go.
So he simply said, "Because we need my powers on the battlefield."
The Lin Astral Emperor knitted his brows even more when he heard this before saying, "There's no need for you to go personally. Now that we know void laws have an effect on these strange laws, we can send other people to handle this."
Lin Fan shook his head as he said, "That won't work. I'm the only one that can do this."
The Lin Astral Emperor gave a snort before saying, "You might have some success on the battlefield, but you shouldn't get ahead of yourself. There are plenty of people that can use the void laws in the Lin Astral Family. Do you really think that we're so weak that we need to send a child to the battlefield?"
Lin Fan didn't take any offense from this because he knew that the Lin Astral Emperor only said all of this to protect him, but he couldn't back down now.
So Lin Fan just calmly said, "You should know that your void laws do not work. I'm sure that this has already been attempted in the past, which was why we were pushed into such a desperate situation."
The Lin Astral Emperor revealed an ugly expression when he heard this.
That was because…Lin Fan was absolutely right.
The Lin Astral Family's inheritance was the void law, so there was no reason why they wouldn't use it when the enemies were on their doorsteps. But they had found that these void laws didn't have any effect on these strange laws.
No matter how they tried using the void laws on these strange laws, they hadn't been able to absorb them at all.
Or when they could absorb them with the powerful void laws of the Lin Astral Family's hidden experts, they couldn't digest it. All they could do was barely break it down, but that cost too much energy for these experts that it wasn't effective at all.
So they had been on the losing side in every fight that they engaged in and that put the Lin Astral Family in this situation.
It was fine if it wasn't pointed out, but now that it was, the Lin Astral Emperor asked with an ugly expression, "Why do you think that it'll be any different for you?"
Well, he actually knew that it was different for Lin Fan and Lin Fan had already proven it with everything that he had brought back.
But he couldn't just put on a weak face in front of Lin Fan, his junior, could he?
Not to mention, he actually was curious why it had been different for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan wasn't surprised to hear this and calmly said, "It's because I have the Void God's inheritance."
"Void God?" The Lin Astral Emperor couldn't help repeating before suddenly revealing a shocked look and asking, "When did you obtain the Void God's appearance?" Then after a pause, he shook his head and said, "No, where did you even meet the Void God?"
As a member of the Lin Astral Family, it was impossible for them not to know the Void God.
After all, their ancestor had obtained the Void God's inheritance as well, which was how they had come to have the void laws. It wasn't that they were descendants of the Void God, they were just lucky enough to obtain a part of his inheritance.
Now Lin Fan was saying that he had also obtained the Void God's inheritance…didn't that mean that he would be on the same level as their ancestor?
But in the end, he answered his own question first as he said, "Is it the master of the store?"
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod when he asked this.
The Lin Astral Emperor deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.
After a long time, he asked again, "Is it the master's order that you head to the battlefield?"
Lin Fan gave a nod without hesitation again.
This time, the Lin Astral Emperor fell into a deep silence.
The ministers and generals had already been snapped out of their thoughts and were looking over at them with focused eyes.
They cared very much about the result of this since they knew that this was something that would affect the entire war.
Lin Fan's abilities had shown that they were useful in dealing with the Beast Race troops which was what they needed the most right now.
So if the Lin Astral Emperor allowed Lin Fan to go to the battlefield, they knew that they would all be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
And if the Lin Astral Emperor didn't allow him to go…they were prepared to risk their lives to go against him to ask him to allow Lin Fan to go.
This was something that would decide the fate of the entire empire…
The Lin Astral Emperor naturally knew this as well, but he was hesitant on letting Lin Fan go…
After all, this was someone from his precious family and he didn't want to sacrifice just to keep the peace.
In a way, that was saying he had failed in his job as the emperor…
In another way, he wanted to keep Lin Fan safe.
But he knew that there was no other choice here.
So with a sigh, the Lin Astral Emperor said, "You can go."
