Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 518 Lingbo's Background

After telling Lin Chen everything, the artifact spirit fell into a deep sleep, saying that it would only fully acknowledge Lin Chen as its master once Lin Chen broke through to the Great Emperor realm.

In Lin Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, only a nine-story pagoda remained, floating quietly, its nine colors swirling and illuminating his entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Chen withdrew from his sea of ​​consciousness, sat on a recliner in the courtyard, and looked at the clouds in the sky.

The clouds were white, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining brightly.

Lin Chen stared at it for a while, then smiled.

There are still 500 years left, no rush.

As for whether what the spirit said was true or false, or what its intentions or conspiracies were, Lin Chen didn't care at all, nor did he want to think about such things.

He's living each day as it comes, just trying to make a living.

Just then, Lingbo suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chen, looking somewhat hesitant.

Lin Chen leaned back in his recliner, squinting, feeling somewhat surprised.

Lingbo was always expressionless; this was the first time he had ever seen her show such emotional fluctuations.

"I have something to tell you," Lingbo said after a moment's hesitation.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly: "What is it?"

Lingbo paused for a moment, then sat down on the stone bench next to Lin Chen.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to sit next to Lin Chen.

Lingbo looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and said softly:

"I am not from Tianyuan Continent."

"My parents are the Ice and Snow Emperors of the Primordial Realm."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

The Primordial Realm?

He had just learned of the existence of the myriad worlds from the artifact spirit, and before he could even process it, Lingbo pulled this stunt on him.

A thought suddenly popped into Lin Chen's mind.

This is too coincidental, right?

Lingbo's identity was exposed as soon as she learned of the existence of the myriad worlds.

It was so coincidental, it was like a pre-written script.

He couldn't help but suspect that there was some kind of script, some behind-the-scenes manipulator orchestrating all of this.

Lingbo, oblivious to Lin Chen's unusual behavior, continued:

"The Origin Realm is the center of all realms. Gods are the pinnacle beings there, but there are only a handful of them, and they never appear in the mortal world."

The Great Emperors are top-tier cultivators, each a peerless and extraordinary figure, a master of the Dao.

"My mother, the Ice Empress, has attained the Great Dao of Ice."

"My father, the Snow Emperor, has attained the Great Dao of Snow."

"They are a couple, which is very rare in the Origin Realm."

"Ice and snow, though similar, are two different paths. It is a rare occurrence in all realms for them to attain enlightenment simultaneously, let alone nurture me..."

Lingbo paused for a moment, her eyes looking somewhat unfocused.

"The Zhang family of the Primordial Realm wants their descendants to attain enlightenment."

But the Path of Ice and the Path of Snow were occupied by my parents; as long as they live, their descendants will never have a chance.

"So the Zhang family took advantage of my mother's greatly reduced cultivation level during my pregnancy to set up a trap, uniting several Great Emperors to besiege my parents."

"That battle lasted for three days and three nights."

"My father died on the spot."

"My mother is critically injured and dying."

"With her last breath, she tore through the void and threw me into the chaotic void passage."

Lingbo's voice finally showed a slight fluctuation, but she quickly suppressed it again.

She said that the end of this passage is the Snowland World.

She said she had an old friend there.

She told me to go find that person.

"Then how did you get to the Tianyuan Great World?"

Lingbo sighed, "I encountered a spacetime storm, but fortunately my parents had a backup plan, which allowed me to safely arrive in the Tianyuan Great World."

"I stayed on the snow mountain for a long time, cultivating myself and waiting for that old friend to come to me."

But no one came.

"And then I met you."

Lingbo turned to look at Lin Chen, her gaze calm, but something was surging in her eyes.

"Before she died, my mother used her last strength to calculate my fate."

"She said that I would meet someone, someone who is my destiny, who will redeem my life and help me inherit her and my father's imperial throne and Dao fruit."

Lingbo looked at Lin Chen and said, word by word:

"That person is you."

Lin Chen looked astonished: "Destiny? The Dao Fruit of the Emperor?"

Lingbo nodded: "Yes, my mother said that I inherited his and my father's talent for ice and snow, and can prove the Way of Ice and Snow at the same time."

This is also why her father gave birth to me, because only those who have attained the status of a Great Emperor with at least two Great Daos have a chance to break through to the God-Emperor level.

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"The thing I believe in least in my life is fate."

As Lin Chen spoke, he reached out and grasped Ling Bo's hand.

"Whether you believe it or not is one thing, but since you've chosen me, I'll help you."

Lin Chen paused, then asked, "What's the background of the Zhang family that killed your father and mother?"

Lingbo was silent for a moment, then said:

"In the Origin Realm, the Zhang family is a divine family that has been passed down for tens of millions of years. The family has many Great Emperors and a Divine Ancestor who is in charge."

Lin Chen's fingers paused on the back of Ling Bo's hand for a moment.

"A deity?"

"Um."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Okay, I've got it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lingbo's eyes: "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm afraid it's useless," Lin Chen chuckled.

"Just because I can't beat them now doesn't mean I can't beat them in the future."

"When I become a Great Emperor, when I become a God Venerable, I will go to the Origin Realm and find them one by one."

"I will pay for your parents' blood debt."

Lingbo's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, burying her face in Lin Chen's hands.

"Actually, I don't really want to become a Great Emperor, or even a God-Emperor."

"My mother said that the throne of the emperor is both an honor and a shackle."

She said that the thing she regretted most in her life was becoming a Great Emperor.

"She said that if she and her father hadn't been the emperor, they wouldn't have died."

She said she only wanted to see me grow up safely and live an ordinary life. Although a person's life is short, it can be very happy.

Lingbo's voice grew softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible.

She said, "If possible, please never go back to the Origin Realm."

"That world is too cannibalistic."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but gently stroked Ling Bo's face with one hand.

Lingbo looked up at Lin Chen, her eyes red-rimmed.

"I'm telling you this not so that you can avenge me, nor so that you can take me to the Origin Realm, nor so that you can help me comprehend the Great Dao of Ice and Snow one day."

"I--"

Lingbo paused for a moment.

"I just want to tell you that I want to have a child with you."

"Live the life of an ordinary person."

Lin Chen looked down at Ling Bo and saw resentment in her eyes.

That resentment is hidden deep, buried at the very bottom of all emotions; it cannot be seen, but it certainly exists.

She is the daughter of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

The blood of two great emperors flows in her veins.

She was deeply committed to the pursuit of enlightenment.

She said she didn't want to, but deep down she felt resentful.

Lin Chen didn't say anything, but he held Ling Bo's hand tightly and made a mental note of it.

He couldn't promise anything because he knew his own limitations; without the "system's" help, he might have died long ago.

Now everything depends on himself. Lin Chen never thought he was exceptionally talented and could reach the top.

He was just an ordinary person, a somewhat lecherous ordinary person.

But if possible and as quickly as he can, he will help Lingbo.

But it's impossible, and he won't force his way in.
