Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Lin Yuan hadn’t seen the Dean for a long time, and upon seeing him suddenly, he felt that the Dean had changed a lot.

However, Lin Yuan truly didn’t know why the Dean had changed so much.

That’s precisely why Lin Yuan was so shocked when the Dean said he didn’t have long to live.

By all rights, the Dean should be growing younger with age, and the harmony between his body and soul was becoming flawless.

In such a situation, the Dean should live even longer.

Why, is he nearing the end of his life?

This completely defies common sense.

Lin Yuan didn’t know why the Dean had changed so drastically, nor why he didn’t have long to live.

However, Lin Yuan did have one advantage, which is that he would ask when he didn’t understand, and he would never pretend to know when he didn’t.

”Dean, you know, I’ve always been stupid.”

”Why don’t you just tell me straight?” Lin Yuan asked the Dean.

Lin Yuan intentionally called himself stupid, just to tell the Dean, I can’t do without you, you absolutely must not die!

The Dean chuckled, as he knew Lin Yuan’s character like the back of his hand, thoroughly understanding him.

”You little rascal!” The Dean laughed and scolded, explaining, ”The reason I’ve changed so much is because of the feedback from the World Honored one.”

”I am transformed from the Good Corpse of the World Honored, no matter how many times reincarnated, our connection will never be completely severed.”

”The World Honored has been progressing by leaps and bounds these days, so I am able to benefit in many ways.”

Lin Yuan thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that the Dean’s change actually stemmed from the World Honored.

This was somewhat beyond Lin Yuan’s expectations.

Or perhaps, in Lin Yuan’s subconscious, he simply didn’t want there to be any connection between the World Honored and the Dean, thus he subconsciously avoided these thoughts.

But, after careful consideration, it seems like a very reasonable thing.

The Dean is transformed from the Good Corpse of the World Honored, they are inherently one.

Much like a pair of twin brothers, even if their relationship turns sour, it doesn’t change the fact that they share the same blood.

Different perspectives, different ideologies, those are thoughts; some intrinsic things cannot be changed.

Seeing Lin Yuan in a daze, the Dean looked at him seriously and asked, ”The World Honored is already the undisputed number one in the Mysterious World, yet his strength continues to grow rapidly in a short time.”

”Do you know what this means?”

Lin Yuan: ”????”

Lin Yuan wasn’t foolish, with the conversation reaching this point, he naturally understood.

”Is the World Honored about to prove the Way?” Lin Yuan said solemnly.

The World Honored has essentially reached the end of the path of cultivation, and to go further, he can only blaze a new trail.

And the first step on this new path is to prove the Way.

Speaking of the World Honored about to prove the Way, Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

He finally understood why the Dean said he didn’t have long to live.

If the World Honored were to prove the Way, Lin Yuan and others would definitely attempt to stop him. ’

This is the World Honored’s last chance. Once proves the Way fails, he will die and disappear along with the Way.

The Dean, being the Good Corpse of the World Honored, if the World Honored, the original body, dies and disappears along with the Way, then the Dean, this Good Corpse, will inevitably also be affected.

Could it be that killing the World Honored is equivalent to killing the Dean?

”If the World Honored dies, will you die too?” Lin Yuan tentatively asked the Dean, his voice trembling.

At the thought that killing the World Honored was equivalent to killing the Dean.

This was something that Lin Yuan found difficult to accept for a moment.

To Lin Yuan, the Dean was like a teacher and a father.

Killing one’s own teacher and father with one’s own hands, perhaps, even with a heart of stone, it would still be hard to act.

The Dean understood Lin Yuan very well, just from Lin Yuan’s expression, he could guess Lin Yuan’s thoughts.

The Dean patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder and comforted, ”Don’t overthink it, it won’t come to that.”

”On the day the World Honored proves the Way, I will personally take action and resolve the karma with him.”

”Although I am not a match for the World Honored, I can still turn his plans into nothing, and that’s when you take action.”

From the Dean’s words, Lin Yuan had already understood the Dean’s intentions.

On the day the World Honored proves the Way, the Dean will sacrifice himself to stop the World Honored from proving the Way.

Lin Yuan knew he couldn’t stop the Dean.

In the battle to stop the World Honored from proving the Way, no one can survive.

If they win, perhaps they can live.

If they lose, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

”Dean?”

”What about the Human King?”

”If we have a new Human King, would the World Honored no longer be a concern?”

”Or, if the World Honored successfully proves the Way, will he be the new Human King?” Lin Yuan asked the Dean.

Lin Yuan had too many doubts in his heart.

Every time he thought he had figured out this world, there were always new questions, new doubts.

He had become Tier Two and had the ability to kill a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse.

Thinking he had become strong enough, he heard about the existence of the Innate Four Spirits.

The Dean looked at Lin Yuan and asked, ”Do you know what the Human King is?”

”The Human King can rival the Innate Four Spirits, so what is the difference between the Human King and the Innate Four Spirits?”

Upon hearing the Dean’s questions, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

How would he understand this?

”I don’t know!”

”Please, Dean, enlighten me.” Lin Yuan asked.

The Dean replied, ”The Human King, although called the Human King, is not the king of the Human Race, but the king of all creatures among the myriad races of heaven and earth.”

”Among heaven and earth, humans are the protagonists, centered around humans. When a Human King emerges, all the myriad races of heaven and earth will submit.”

”Those who can gain recognition and submission from the myriad races of heaven and earth are the Human King, and they will receive the support of the power of heaven and earth and the myriad races.”

”Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it; once the Human King loses the submission of the myriad races, they will also lose their immense power.”

”The Human King cultivates the human path, and along with the myriad races of heaven and earth, they are complementary to each other.”

”Thus, no matter how strong the Human King is, they must always protect the interests of the myriad races of heaven and earth.”

”The Innate Four Spirits are different; they cultivate the path beyond heaven, their path transcends both heaven and earth and the myriad races.”

”To them, the myriad races of heaven and earth are merely livestock, producing tools of Power of Faith.”

”The path of the World Honored differs from both the human path of the Human King and the path beyond heaven of the Innate Four Spirits.”

”The path the World Honored cultivates is self-created.”

”The World Honored has fused the human path of the Human King and the paths of the Demon Lord and the Buddha among the Innate Four Spirits, creating a way to prove the Way.”

”This method of proving the Way only requires the recognition of heaven and earth, not the myriad races.”

”However, once he successfully proves the Way, the World Honored will still herd the myriad races to provide him with Power of Faith.”

”To humanity, there is no difference.”

”It’s nothing more than being herded by the Innate Four Spirits or by the World Honored.”
