Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 372: Chapter 366: The World Honored One’s Sole Designated Rival

Ninety-nine percent?

That seems almost indistinguishable from a hundred percent!

After hearing these words from the Dean, Lin Yuan truly had a headache.

His head was buzzing with noise.

”Isn’t there any way to stop him?” Lin Yuan swallowed hard, his voice tinged with bitterness.

If the World Honored managed to achieve enlightenment, not only would he, the destined enemy of the World Honored, certainly die,

but the entire Human Race would also be subjected to the World Honored’s tyranny.

Even worse, the whole Human Race would be completely subjugated by the World Honored.

If things developed to this point, it would be unacceptable to Lin Yuan no matter what.

However, Lin Yuan also understood clearly in his heart that the World Honored’s chances of achieving enlightenment were high.

This could be seen from how Elder Bai, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and others dared not face the World Honored directly.

If they were confident in stopping the World Honored from achieving enlightenment, they would have confronted him directly long ago.

The reason why they have only been acting covertly is simply because they are unsure.

Elder Bai, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, Wu Nengsheng, and other powerful beings from the Mysterious World have no confidence in stopping the World Honored from achieving enlightenment.

So, does the Dean truly have a solution?

Lin Yuan looked at the Dean with urgency and hope in his eyes. He wished the Dean could offer a practical, reliable way to prevent the World Honored from achieving enlightenment.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s expression, the Dean spoke clearly: ”The Way is fifty, but the Heaven is forty-nine, leaving one to go astray.”

”There’s nothing absolute; everything always leaves a sliver of hope.”

”In the past, when the World Honored cut off three incarnations to achieve enlightenment in his first life, the first Rebirth Saint Mother was the one that went astray.”

”In this life, there’s also one that goes astray.”

”This time, when the World Honored seeks enlightenment, Lin Yuan, you are the one that goes astray.”

At this point, the Dean pointed at Lin Yuan and said, ”You, Lin Yuan, can prevent the World Honored from achieving enlightenment.”

Lin Yuan: ”????”

At this moment, Lin Yuan was thoroughly confused.

The Dean said he could prevent the World Honored from achieving enlightenment, but all Lin Yuan could think of was one phrase.

That phrase: ”I can’t do it!”

Lin Yuan was well aware of his own limitations.

If it weren’t for the help of these powerful figures, trying to stop the World Honored on his own would be a fool’s dream.

Lin Yuan’s original plan was to assist when these powerful figures tried to stop the World Honored from achieving enlightenment.

For him to be the main force, even if he racked his brains and his CPU overheated, he wouldn’t be able to think of a way to stop the World Honored.

”Dean, I really can’t do this!”

”To prevent the World Honored from achieving enlightenment, wouldn’t one at least need Tier Two strength? Maybe even Tier Two Peak level.”

”I’m currently only Tier Four. To think of reaching Tier Two would probably take ages!” Lin Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Lin Yuan’s cultivation speed wasn’t slow.

No!

Far from slow, his cultivation rate has already surpassed ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of the Human Race.

According to Elder Bai, there shouldn’t be much time left until the World Honored achieves enlightenment.

By the time the World Honored achieves enlightenment, he likely won’t have reached Tier Two Peak strength.

It’s not that he’s weak, but the World Honored is simply too powerful.

”You may not have a way, but I do!”

”However, you must be the one to execute it,” the Dean said to Lin Yuan.

The Dean’s physical body was weak, even lame.

Yet, despite his frail appearance, his spiritual power, willpower, wisdom, and all other aspects were top-notch, in no way inferior to someone like Elder Bai, a Tier Two powerhouse from the Mysterious World.

If the Dean were compared to a computer, he’s the best graphics card, the best drivers, everything assembled into a second-hand case bought from a street vendor.

The Dean certainly wouldn’t speak without basis; if he says there’s a way, it’s likely true.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan quickly asked, ”What is this method? Let me hear it.”

If the Dean’s method to prevent the World Honored from achieving enlightenment was reliable, Lin Yuan would certainly be willing to give it a try.

”The key to achieving enlightenment through a great vow is that the great vow made can move the heavens and earn its recognition and resonance.”

”Only thus can one achieve enlightenment.”

”If, after the World Honored makes his great vow and moves the heavens, someone else makes an even greater vow that also earns the heavens’ resonance and recognition.”

”Then the heavens’ resonance and recognition would be divided, and the World Honored naturally wouldn’t be able to achieve enlightenment,” the Dean shared his thoughts.

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan was utterly bewildered but quickly understood.

The Dean was saying he’d provide the plan, and Lin Yuan would execute it.

This meant Lin Yuan should also make a greater vow after the World Honored made his,

thus countering the World Honored’s attempt at enlightenment.

However, Lin Yuan knew that making a great vow wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

Making a great vow isn’t like a couple swearing their love during a relationship.

When couples swear their love, they can say whatever they want.

Things like ”if I ever stop loving you, may I be struck by lightning” won’t actually happen.

But making a great vow, if it’s not fulfilled, can result in severe consequences.

Light consequences include being backlashed by the heavens and dropping back to Tier Two.

Serious ones could lead to death and disappearance.

Simply put, making a great vow to achieve enlightenment is like writing an IOU to the heavens.

Initially, you gain the strength bestowed by the heavens, achieving unique Tier One power.

But in the future, you’d have to repay with what you promised in your great vow.

If you can’t fulfill it, the great way of the heavens will come to collect the debt, and even at Tier One, you won’t be able to bear it.

Competing with the World Honored in boasting...

No, competing in making great vows with the World Honored, Lin Yuan wasn’t skilled at that!

Moreover, Lin Yuan didn’t even know what kind of great vow could move the heavens to earn its recognition and resonance.

”Dean, I can’t do this!”

”Why don’t you make the great vow?”

”You compete with the World Honored. If you achieve enlightenment, you can also protect the Human Race.”

”I’m just someone without grand ambitions, happy to remain a salted fish,” Lin Yuan displayed an expression of being content with mediocrity.

The Dean glared at Lin Yuan and said with irritation, ”Competing with the World Honored is something only you can do.”

”The foundational condition for making a great vow is having a Divine Country.”

”The World Honored has the Palm Buddha Country, so he has the foundation to make a great vow and achieve enlightenment.”

Divine Country?

Just a few days ago, Lin Yuan had brought the Power of Faith from the Human Seed Bag to seek advice from the Dean on how to build a Divine Country.

Today, the Dean told him that the foundation for making a great vow and achieving enlightenment is a Divine Country.

This means only he has the qualification to compete with the World Honored.

Doesn’t this imply that the Dean has found a way to build a Divine Country?

Moreover, he can help Lin Yuan possess a Divine Country?
