Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 358: Am I Really Not Human?

The elder nodded, his breath emanating from his body, and he murmured, reciting some kind of spell.

After a while, the ground trembled, an array appeared, and a stone platform slowly rose from the center of the array, with a wooden box placed on top.

The wooden box was covered with countless inscrutable symbols and arrays, with a talisman closely attached, making the protective measures quite impressive.

The elder stepped forward, picked up the box, and tore off the talisman on top: "This is the talisman and array sealed by our Liu family’s ancestors, only those of us who carry the Liu family bloodline can unlock it."

In fact, when Chen Lan saw the talisman and array, he thought they were very simple, easily breakable; it seemed that the Liu family ancestor’s mastery over arrays and talismans was not very strong.

Then, after the elder removed all the seals and opened the box, Chen Lan glanced over, slightly stunned.

Because inside the box was a stone!

"This... is a stone?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.

"I don’t know, look, can you pick it up? Our generations have tried, but anyone who touches it dies!" the elder said, staring at the stone inside the box, fearful.

Countless Liu family members have tried to unravel the mystery of this treasure, but anyone who touched it would instantly die without exception. Once, an ancestor tried this and perished; he was a Daoist Venerable at that time.

Just a touch, and a Daoist Venerable vanished into dust, scaring the Liu family from having any more thoughts about this treasure.

Hearing this, Chen Lan was speechless; everyone who touched it died, yet he was being asked to touch it.

He was beginning to doubt whether that Ye Lan was the one he knew. If not, wouldn’t he die as well?

Before that, it was best to ensure everything was prepared before picking it up.

In an instant, the Thunder Emperor Armor appeared on the surface of his body, surrounded by thunder, crackling, which stunned the elder.

Chen Lan waved his large hand, deploying countless barriers, his arm revealed ten grand Dao patterns, his breath fully unleashed.

The elder’s pupils constricted violently, his body trembling uncontrollably, almost collapsing.

A Taoist Saint, this person was actually a Taoist Saint!

Where did Mei Er find a Taoist Saint?

If the Liu family could associate with a Taoist Saint, their status would surely rise, becoming the number one family in this Spirit Country!

Chen Lan’s right hand suddenly froze, then turned into gold, then into wood, constantly changing. This was Chen Lan’s Dao; he was adding layers of protection to his right hand to prevent being attacked upon touching the stone, and his soul needed protection too, in case the stone was a soul attack.

After making full preparations, Chen Lan slowly reached out to the stone. The elder swallowed nervously, afraid that the stone would vanish Chen Lan.

Chen Lan gritted his teeth and suddenly grabbed the stone, scaring the elder into closing his eyes. After a few seconds, the elder opened his eyes and saw that Chen Lan was unharmed and had even picked up the stone, immediately exclaiming, "You are indeed that senior!"

With a thud, the elder knelt down again: "Junior Liu Fengming has been waiting for you for a long time!"

However, after a while, he didn’t hear Chen Lan’s voice, paused, and looked up, noticing something unusual. Chen Lan’s eyes were white, standing there motionless, like a wax statue!

And the stone in his hand was emitting a faint red glow.

Seeing this, Liu Fengming understood, Chen Lan must have been brought into some illusion, likely created by himself.

...

As Liu Fengming thought, Chen Lan entered the illusion, one he left behind years ago.

Looking at the man showing only his back, Chen Lan felt calm; if he had never met him, he might still feel puzzled.

"You finally came," the man slowly turned around, smiling faintly.

"Yes, we meet again," Chen Lan slightly nodded.

The man was slightly startled, then smiled: "It seems you’ve already met my other soul projections."

"Yes, he helped me reconstruct the Divine Bone; without him, you might never have met me," Chen Lan said with a smile.

"That’s good. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and I don’t want to say too much nonsense. This is actually a Demon Heart." The man waved his hand, and an illusion of the stone appeared, floating in his palm.

"Demon Heart? What is it?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.

"The heart of the Demon Ancestor, it can grant you great power, but it will also cause you to lose all sanity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone slowly shed its surface reveals a bright red, beating heart, accompanied by a powerful heartbeat!

Looking at the heart, Chen Lan’s heart beat in sync, his eyes glowed red, his expression filled with desire, licking his lips, and he instinctively wanted to reach out and touch it.

But suddenly, Chen Lan snapped back to reality, stepped back two paces in shock, and looked at that heart with lingering fear: "How terrifying, just an illusion confounded my mind, making me overwhelmingly eager to swallow it!"

"Almost no one can resist its temptation, it is also my heart." The man grinned, his words extremely chilling.

"Your heart?!" Chen Lan’s pupils narrowed.

Does that mean this person dug out his own heart, stored it away, just to leave it for the future?!

Wouldn’t that be too ruthless to oneself?

"Don’t think too much; I have more than one heart." The man smiled mysteriously.

Chen Lan was once again shocked, more than one heart?

Could there be many more? Is this truly human?

He suspected his first life wasn’t of the Human Race, but of another race.

"You’ll naturally find out later; this heart can’t be used yet. To activate it, you need the Ten Thousand Demon Blood, and to find the Ten Thousand Demon Blood, you must go to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, where you’ll get the answers you want."

With that, the man slowly dissipated, Chen Lan woke from the illusion, seeing the elder kneeling on the ground.

"Senior, you are awake."

"Yes, get up." Chen Lan said lightly.

"Senior, where is that stone?" the elder asked in confusion. The stone was just in Chen Lan’s hand, so where did it go?

Hearing this, Chen Lan was stunned; he remembered entering the illusion as soon as he grabbed it, so where was it?

At that moment, he felt his heart beating very fast, slightly uncomfortable, with a foreboding premonition.

Upon an inner examination of his heart, he was completely dumbfounded, only to see an active beating heart beside his own heart, also faintly pulsating!

In an instant, the Demon Heart had somehow unknowingly entered his body, even connecting with his heart, too bizarre.

Having two hearts, it’s unlikely there is another like this in the world.

Chen Lan felt uneasy, feeling he was no longer human, developing towards an inhuman direction.

Could it be that his first life truly wasn’t human?

Could he be a Demon Beast!
