The Era of Gods-Chapter 688: Father-in-law’s Whereabouts?

"Wang Wenchang, from Radiant University stationed at the Southeast base of the NE-1801 Crystal Wall System, I’ve unexpectedly been in the Wizard World for over sixteen thousand years."

This middle-aged man named Wang Wenchang introduced himself as soon as they met, then introduced another man and a woman who came with him, before asking:

"May I know where brother comes from?"

For him, it didn’t matter which world he came from, since he was a Descender; what’s important was which power from the Main World he belonged to.

Let’s not mention Radiant; the Southeast base of the NE-1801 Crystal Wall System would not be a particularly valuable system based on its designation—most likely a member of the standard forces belonging to Radiant.

However, no matter what, it is still part of Radiant; a natural goodwill emerged, and Lin Xiao smiled as he replied:

"It’s quite a coincidence, I also come from Radiant."

"Oh!"

Wang Wenchang’s eyes brightened as he asked:

"Which part of Radiant are you from, brother? See if I know it."

"Radiant University, should have been a sophomore before descending into the Wizard World."

Wang Wenchang, along with the man and woman beside him, all simultaneously showed a look of surprise, and he raised his thumb, saying:

"So you’re one of the super elites from Radiant, we come from the same place! By the way, which year are you from, do you know Deputy Director Li Xiang from the Teaching Affairs Office?"

Lin Xiao shook his head in confusion:

"The Teaching Affairs Office has one director and seven deputies. Although I don’t know all of them, as far as I am aware, there is no one named Li Xiang!"

Wang Wenchang then had a sudden realization, slapping his hand to his forehead:

"I must have remembered wrong; Mr. Li Xiang seems to be from the Logistics Department."

Afterward, Wang Wenchang asked for some information about Radiant, and Lin Xiao answered each question without error, warming Wang Wenchang’s expression visibly.

While walking towards the interior of the fortress and making small talk, Lin Xiao took the opportunity to inquire about some of the things he wanted to know. Wang Wenchang was forthcoming with information, clearing up some of Lin Xiao’s previous questions.

Firstly, this world filled with Death Qi indeed turned out to be a small world. It was a subsidiary world of a strong world known as Canglan, situated at the very edge of a nearby cluster of worlds. Their main purpose for stationing a legion in this almost valueless Death world was to guide any possible human Descenders who may appear in this star region.

According to what Wang Wenchang said, in the central Canglan World, there is an extremely powerful individual who is gathering human Descenders from the vicinity of this cluster of worlds.

This individual is immensely strong. Although not an Ancestor or a being of equal greatness, their strength far surpasses the average Rank 8 peak, and not only have they recovered their memories, they can also help other lost Descenders recover theirs. Currently, there are about twenty thousand human Descenders in the Canglan World, all awakened with the help of that individual.

Besides, the Canglan World doesn’t only host human Descenders; there are also Soul Race Descenders.

Or rather, the Canglan World is currently the battleground for a power struggle among humans, the Soul Race’s True Underworld Council, and the native forces, each holding their ground in a three-way standoff.

Wang Wenchang mentioned that among the twenty thousand human Descenders, there are four Rank 8 powerhouses, led by a powerful individual named Jin Nantian, twenty-eight Rank 7 powerhouses, and countless ones below Rank 6.

The Soul Race has sixteen Rank 8 powerhouses, with the strongest being a True Dark Apostle whose strength is slightly less than Jin Nantian’s, and more than sixty Rank 7 powerhouses. Numerous others are below Rank 6, making their overall strength far stronger than that of the humans.

The neutral native forces possess eleven Rank 8 powerhouses, including two late-stage Rank 8s, one of whom is the World’s Chief Guardian. With the power of the World Will, they can easily overpower other late-stage powerhouses in this world, even the exceedingly strong Jin Nantian and the True Dark Apostle, who has the help of the Dream Ancestor’s power, can only barely hold their ground here.

The number of powerhouses in these three forces shows that this world called Canglan is an extremely powerful one, likely capable of confronting the renowned Nightmare World head-on, and is far stronger than the Wizard World Lin Xiao hailed from.

In such a powerful world, even with his current strength... it might be okay.

After all, his real combat power exceeds that of a typical late-stage Rank 8, placing him among the peak level.

Furthermore, there are two things in this world that greatly attract him: the True Dark Apostle and the individual named Jin Nantian.

From what Wang Wenchang said, this Jin Nantian also comes from Radiant, but that’s not the key point; the key is that his girlfriend’s father, who is another father-in-law, has a real name of Jin Shengtian—nearly identical to Jin Nantian’s. One has Super Divine Power at God Level 19, and the other is a Rank 8 pinnacle fighter—he suspected that Jin Nantian was in fact Jin Shengtian, using an alias.

```

No matter what, he had to go and see for himself, and if it was true, he’d have to take him away from the Wizard World.

However, Lin Xiao felt that if Jin Nantian really was Jin Shengtian, he most likely wouldn’t leave.

With his strength, his arrival in the Wizard World was certainly well-considered, his goal was self-evident: he definitely sought to find an opportunity in the Wizard World to become a wizard ancestor comparable to the great divine power.

At their level, there was essentially no progress to be made in strength; without breaking through to become an existence at the level of the great divine power, their strength could no longer increase, and indeed, they would not settle for this, nor would Lin Xiao.

Becoming a wizard ancestor was not the best choice, but it was indeed a choice, with the potential to take that step. Jin Sisi’s father had given up everything to enter the Wizard World, essentially with the mindset of never returning unless he succeeded. Convincing him to leave now was practically impossible.

Lin Xiao had yet to decide how to speak to him and could only plan to go and see if it really was him before making a decision.

Another place that attracted him was the True Dark Apostle.

The so-called True Dark Apostle, as the name suggests, is the messenger who conveys the will of the Dark progenitor.

With a progenitor, whose size is comparable to that of a world, only the legendary Chaos World could accommodate them. Other worlds cannot, but sometimes there are matters that require entry into some worlds. When the progenitors themselves cannot enter, they must send envoys.

As an envoy representing the will of a progenitor, one must have very great strength, so any envoy of a progenitor would receive the Ancestor’s Mark from the progenitor, possessing a part of the progenitor’s authority and gaining a continuous supply of strength. This grants them the impressive power to overpower many Rank 8 late-stage powerhouses.

Strictly speaking, Lin Xiao, who possesses the Dream Ancestor Mark, is now a Dream Envoy.

It is worth mentioning that not all who possess the Ancestor’s Mark are envoys, only those recognized by the progenitors count as envoys. Those who obtain the Ancestor’s Mark under special circumstances without progenitor’s approval cannot be called envoys.

For example, someone who accidentally discovers the Tomb of Myriad Gods and obtains the All-Embracing Progenitor Mark is not considered an envoy.

All Ancestor’s Marks are marks, but there is a huge difference between them.

Because the Ancestor’s Mark is the authority that a progenitor wields, having the Ancestor’s Mark allows one to share in the progenitor’s authority and possess a continuous source of strength.

This is an enormously fortunate opportunity in itself. Whoever obtains the Ancestor’s Mark will be unobstructed and promoted to Rank 8 in a short time since a progenitor’s authority has no concept of a bottleneck.

However, after reaching Rank 8, that’s where the issue lies. Due to the absence of a bottleneck and the continuous flow of power, there’s a huge difference between having the approval of the progenitor and not.

An envoy with the progenitor’s approval, upon reaching the limit of their own capacity and no longer being able to increase in power, can have the continuous flow of power from the progenitor who bestowed the mark cut off or reduced, simply called ’throttling.’

But those who obtain the Ancestor’s Mark without the progenitor’s approval do not have this function, and the continuous flow of power will push them to Rank 8, reaching the limit of their own capacity, and yet the Ancestor’s Mark continues to pour in an endless stream of energy into them.

At that time, you either continue to enhance the strength of your body and soul to increase the upper limit of what you can contain or be unable to withstand the continuous flow of power and ’bang’ explode.

In fact, even continuing to enhance the strength of your body and soul is only a temporary solution. Unless one achieves progenitor status, the strength of the body and soul is finite and cannot be increased indefinitely or, to put it another way, the increase in capacity will absolutely not keep up with the increasing flow rate, and you will inevitably be blown apart.

Therefore, obtaining the Ancestor’s Mark, something so desirable, can’t necessarily be considered a good thing. It’s akin to using illegitimate means to enjoy a brief stint with a GM account—after the fun, you will definitely be reported, and then you must be forcefully deleted.

But having a progenitor’s endorsement is different; it’s as if you’ve gotten a legitimate GM job with a GM account, and you can enjoy it even after work.

Lin Xiao’s identity as a specially recruited student for Radiant University combined with being a Celestial Talent List Participant was extremely useful. Wang Wenchang received him very warmly at the central fortress and helped him send a message back to the Canglan World, quickly arranging for the activation of the Transport Sorcerer Array.

When introducing himself, he claimed to be a Descender who had accidentally awakened his memory and, after receiving the signal, came to this world; he was now a Level 4 Dawn Wizard following the lineage path.

This was clearly a lie, but as long as he was truly a Son of the Human Divine Realm, true or false, it didn’t matter. In this world, they were inherently on the same side; who didn’t have some secrets?

Two days later, Wang Wenchang arranged fortress affairs and set off with him on the Transport Sorcerer Array headed for the Canglan World.

This Grey Little World was very far from the Canglan World; even through the Transport Sorcerer Array, it took them nearly a month to arrive. As the transport neared completion, Lin Xiao felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on him, and at the same time, a very powerful resistance was preventing him from entering the Canglan World.

Lin Xiao knew this was the world’s innate rejection of him, a super-powerful life form not belonging to this world. The stronger the world, the stronger the rejection.

Wang Wenchang, being a Fifth Level Wizard, could not detect his concealed strength, but a world could not fail to notice. If a common wizard entering the Canglan World were like an ant creeping into a house, the homeowner wouldn’t even pay attention.

But his strength relative to even such a powerful Canglan World was like a tiger attempting to enter the house. Even if the tiger made no sound, the fierce beast’s presence would cause the homeowner to involuntarily feel palpitations and dread, definitely leading to discovery and resistance.
