When this portal formed, not a single one of them dared to move towards it.
In fact, they couldn't help taking a step back away from this portal after seeing it appear.
They could feel the powerful fluctuations that came from this portal, so they knew that these were spatial laws in the God Realm…However, how could Lin Fan control these laws so well?
It was fine if he could use spatial laws to cut that pedestal, that didn't take much skill.
But to create a portal like this…
Unless one had a very deep understanding of spatial laws, it was impossible to do something like this.
At the same time, they were worried that something might come out of this portal.
After all, they had no idea where this portal led and the other side was safe.
So they all watched carefully and waited for things to come out of the portal.
Or at least Angela's group did.
Lin Fan just stood in front of the portal and looked at it carefully before sticking his head in.
Angela's group were shocked to see Lin Fan's top half disappear through the portal.
After a moment of hesitation, they were about to go forward to pull Lin Fan back just in case something happened.
But before they could, Lin Fan suddenly stood up again and his top half came back out of the portal.
He turned to them and calmly said, "It's linked to the same place as before. That white haired young man is waiting for us."
The moment that they heard this, their jaws couldn't help dropping.
They just looked at Lin Fan with doubt and shock, as if they couldn't believe what he said.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile when he saw them like this, but he didn't blame them.
If it wasn't for the fact that he could sense his attachment to the golden finger bone, he wouldn't have believed that any of this was possible. But through his connection with the golden finger bone, he knew what he could and couldn't do.
That just made him even more curious as to the real identity of this golden finger bone.
However, it would be a lie to say that there wasn't a familiar feeling coming from this golden finger bone.
It was as if this golden finger bone belonged to him…but that would be crazy.
After all, neither of his past lives should have anything to do with this thing.
After a long moment of silence, Angela's group slowly came forward after taking a deep breath.
For now, there was nothing else for them to do in this place.
If they just stayed here, they would just be sitting here doing nothing.
At the very least, Lin Fan had offered them a chance to escape this place.
So even if it seemed dangerous, it was still the best thing that they could do.
They believed that Lin Fan wouldn't want to hurt them…
Or at least they believed that before the golden finger bone took over, Lin Fan wouldn't want to hurt them.
It hadn't taken over Lin Fan yet, right?
Seeing that they were still hesitating a bit, Lin Fan decided that it would take some drastic measures to get them to move. So he took a step forward and then walked right through the portal.
All three of them were shocked to see this, but they quickly followed him.
They were afraid that since Lin Fan had disappeared, the portal would disappear along with him.
If the portal disappeared, then they would be trapped in that place forever…
So at the very least, they should stick together.
After a bright flash of white light, the scenery around them revealed itself.
They found that they were back in the same room as before.
There was even the white haired young man who was standing there with a surprised look on his face.
But after a while, that surprised look turned into a smile as he said, "So you've passed and accepted the inheritance."
Without any warning at all, Lin Fan pointed his finger at the white haired young man and a ball of flames shot out at him.
The white haired young man didn't panic at all as he casually raised his hand and gave a gentle wave. With that wave, the fireball that was shot at him was slapped down and dissipated into nothing.
When Angela and the others saw this, they couldn't help being shocked.
They could still sense that this fireball wasn't weak, it was still something that was in the God Realm and yet…this white haired young man had slapped it away so easily…
Lin Fan knitted his brows seeing this, but he relaxed them since he figured that this was the case.
Even if this finger bone could allow him to use God Realm laws, that didn't mean that they were that powerful.
He was still in the Ruler Realm, so it was impossible for him to use powerful God Realm laws.
The other side was a paragon, one of the top cultivators in the entire World of Gods, one of the top God Realm Experts.
So it wasn't as if he would be able to hurt them that easily.
That fireball just now was nothing more than a simple act of venting himself.
The white haired young man didn't reveal an angry look, but rather he had an amused smile on his face.
He was about to open his mouth to say something, but then there was a bright flash of yellow light that appeared in this room.
Coming from Lin Fan was a beam of yellow light that converged in front of him.
This yellow light came together until it took the form of a golden figure.
For the others, it was too bright for them to look at, but Lin Fan could see it clearly.
It was the same thing that he had seen in the realm that the system had sent him to.
It was the golden clone of himself.
Everyone watched this golden figure in silence, trying to deal with the shock that they felt from the appearance of this sudden golden figure.
But the one that reacted first in the end was…the white haired young man.
"Master, it's you!" As he said this, the white haired young man gave a slight bow to the golden figure, which the golden figure just completely ignored.
The golden figure just stared at Lin Fan the entire time.
However, the faces of not just Lin Fan, but also Angela and the others all changed when they heard this.
Master?
Did the white haired young man actually call the golden figure 'master'?
If that was the case, did that mean that the golden figure was…that person that they had been hearing about?
The person that should be considered a taboo?
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the golden version of himself, but before he could say anything, the golden clone spoke.
"Go back to the Lin Astral Empire and clear out the Outers. Once you send them packing, follow them to their world and seek the truth. You now have the power to obtain what you seek."
It was the same mechanical voice that spoke.
As soon as they heard this, they all turned to look at Lin Fan who just had a bitter smile on his face.
If this was all that it had to say, why did it have to appear like this?
Wasn't this just announcing its presence now?
But then he said with a bitter smile, "You know I hate you, right?"
The golden version of him looked right at him before giving what seemed to be a laugh and saying, "I know."
Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback by this.
After all, before this, the system had never responded to him like this.
The system would usually just ignore him, but this golden version of him was actually responding to him.
Did that mean that this wasn't the system, but the creator of the system?
If that was the case, there were plenty of questions that he had to ask.
But the golden version of himself shook his head and put a finger to his lip before saying, "Now's not the time. You will find your answer soon."
Without waiting for Lin Fan to say anything, the golden version of him started to dissipate.
He turned back into golden light that soon integrated back into Lin Fan.
When he was gone, everyone finally reacted.
The white haired young man ran up to Lin Fan and grabbed him, looking at where the golden light disappeared as he said, "Master, please don't leave! Master, we need you!"
But the only one that he was actually shouting at was Lin Fan who had to cover his ears with how loud this white haired young man was.
Angela and the others just stared at Lin Fan in shock, while also having a few other emotions in their eyes.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile before turning to them to say, "Well, you heard him. It's time to head back."
But in response to this, Angela just shook her head and said, "We didn't hear anything."
It was true, when the golden figure had spoken, it sounded like gibberish to them.
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but then he said with a sigh, "Well, he said that we should head back to the Lin Astral Empire, so we're going back."
Angela and the others hesitated a bit before giving a slow nod.
As for the white haired young man…it took a while for him to calm down, but he did calm down in the end.
He gave a cough before saying, "I'm sorry for showing an unsightly side of myself. I hope that you will not disappoint master's expectations."
As he said this, there was a hint of jealousy in his voice, but that was it.
Lin Fan just revealed another bitter smile before saying, "We won't."
With that, they disappeared.
