Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 291 - 285: All Seek to Cross the River

Lin Yuan: "????"

This question left Lin Yuan a bit baffled.

I'm just a Tier Four Basic, and you bunch of Tier Two big shots are asking me what Tier One is?

It's like during the New Year gathering with relatives.

A bunch of university professors surrounds a third-grade elementary school student, giving him a calculus problem.

No!

I feel like you're bullying me here?

However, since the old man asked this question, it would be a bit impolite if Lin Yuan didn't answer.

So Lin Yuan thought it over for a while and responded, "Tier One!"

"Tier One is an existence even more powerful than Tier Two. As they say, above Tier Two is Tier One, and below Tier One is Tier Two."

Elder Bai: "????"

The other three: "????"

This question, it seems like Lin Yuan answered it, but also didn't answer it.

To put it simply, what Lin Yuan said was nonsense.

"Ahem!" Elder Bai coughed twice, drank a cup of tea to clear his throat, and then said, "Tier One and Tier Two are completely different."

"Tier Two is a variable, a world can have countless Tier Twos. But Tier One is a constant, each world can have only one Tier One at the same time."

"The 'one' in Tier One represents uniqueness."

"At the same time, there might be a vacancy for Tier One, but there absolutely won't be two."

Elder Bai's words revealed a lot!

All along, Lin Yuan thought Tier One was just a name for a realm.

Little did he know, Tier One is unique.

Looking at these people: Grand Elder, Elder Bai, the handsome young man, the dark strong man, World Honored, and even more hidden experts, they are all Tier Two.

This means that among them, only one can successfully breakthrough and become Tier One?

"Tier One is unique?"

"If that's the case, you and the World Honored are in a competitive relationship!"

"Everyone in the world is competing, trying to become that unique one!"

"Shouldn't you be battling fiercely with the World Honored? Why are you so... um, it seems you all dread the World Honored and actually avoid conflict with him?" Lin Yuan hesitated midway and changed his wording.

Initially, Lin Yuan wanted to say, why are you all so timid, not even daring to compete with the World Honored.

Then he thought, saying it like that might be a bit impolite, so he softened his words.

Actually, Lin Yuan is not wrong!

It appears only the World Honored himself is making efforts to become that "unique".

The other Tier Two experts seem to have given up, with no intention of competing with the World Honored.

"Compete?"

"We've competed for hundreds of years, not competing now, because the gap has widened."

"Continuing the struggle would just be courting death!" Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder said.

After Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder finished speaking, Elder Bai continued, "After competing for hundreds of years, the World Honored triumphed."

"Before you appeared, the World Honored becoming the unique in this realm was already a done deal."

"Becoming enlightened is just a matter of time."

"Mystical awareness tells all Tier Twos that further competition would go against fate."

"Everyone avoids conflict with the World Honored because they're afraid that once he becomes 'unique', he'll strike out and affect their clans."

Lin Yuan quickly extracted the key point from Elder Bai's information.

Before I appeared?

What about after I appeared?

It seems they brought him here because of this matter. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan quickly asked, "And what about after I appeared?"

Elder Bai didn't hold back, and replied straightforwardly, "After you destroyed one of the World Honored's old remains, this realm seems to have undergone changes."

"The information received by the Tier Twos in this realm changed too; a constant has become a variable."

"With one of the nine remains missing, now it seems the World Honored might not achieve enlightenment."

With the conversation reaching this point, Lin Yuan understood.

"Oh!" Lin Yuan realized, "You weren't choosing not to compete before, but simply couldn't."

"Or rather, not qualified to compete."

"Now that the world's dynamics have changed, you have gained the opportunity to compete with the World Honored again."

"So you want to compete again?"

The hunched old man stroked his white beard and chuckled, "Compete for what? I'm too old to be in the race."

"Only, if it's not necessary, the one who achieves enlightenment better not be the World Honored."

"The World Honored is too extreme, if he achieves enlightenment, it won't be good for all parties involved."

Elder Bai expressed that he doesn't want to compete for this 'unique', but Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, the handsome young man, and the dark strong man haven't stated their positions.

Clearly, those three want to contend.

"Those desiring to compete for enlightenment are not just us."

"Ever since the change in fate, I'm afraid those hiding in the shadows are also tempted!" the handsome young man said.

A group of Tier Two powerhouses is competing against the World Honored, vying for the qualification to become this realm's 'unique'.

It's like a vast and boundless ocean with a group of people sailing in a fleet battle.

Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder sails a cruiser, the hunched old man sails an ironclad ship, the handsome young man sails a frigate, the dark strong man sails a destroyer...

Anyway, these Tier Two powerhouses at worst have a gunboat.

Turning to look, Lin Yuan has a bathtub, holding two slippers, splashing in the sea.

One big wave could send him flying.

At this moment, Lin Yuan feels like a Level One small monster mixed into the BOSS village.

What does your competition have to do with me?

Besides, I'm not even a local here!

The chance for the natives of the Mysterious World to compete to become 'unique', why should it concern me, an outsider?

At this time, Lin Yuan tentatively asked, "Ahem!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, why have you brought me here for your competition with the World Honored?"

"I should be of no help to you, right?"

However, as soon as Lin Yuan said this, the hunched old man denied his thought.

"No!"

"You are the key to this competition!" After saying this, the hunched old man explained, "Even though fate has changed, the World Honored is still the one with the biggest chance."

"If the World Honored doesn't die, others still find it hard to compete with him."

"All things are born to counter each other, and you are the one who most restrains the World Honored. To eliminate the World Honored, you are crucial."

Me?

Eliminate the World Honored?

Lin Yuan was stunned.

At this moment, he felt like a roving ant asked by a nine-headed insect to eliminate Tang Monk and his disciples.

"This..."

"Truly can't do it!" Lin Yuan said, looking a bit embarrassed.

Going to eliminate the World Honored would be courting death.

Lin Yuan knows his own limitations; he definitely doesn't have that ability.

The hunched old man laughed and said, "We're not asking you to do it now, you just need to live well and wait for the situation to unfold."

"You are the key to eliminating the World Honored, it's not about you personally killing him."

"There are more than just us eyeing the World Honored, his days are going to be tough ahead."
