The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 853 - 359 I Know You Very Well Too, Dongfang Yao
Lord Yama’s statement genuinely startled Lin Yun.
Goodness, you’re an Innate God?
Are you kidding me?
But no, looking at how confident he is, he doesn’t seem to be lying.
And there are only five Innate Gods; with Qing Nu and Zhen Li taking up two spots, if he claims to be either the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit or the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, that only leaves two spots.
To pretend to be an Innate God, is that something one dares to fake?
Who would have the guts?
Just mentioning the name of an Innate God can cause backlash, let alone impersonating one; isn’t that pretty much courting death?
However, as an Innate God yourself, you must have felt a bit uneasy hearing the name Qing Nu just now, right?
To be of the same Divine Position, but with such a huge disparity?
As clever as Lin Yun is, he was unable to make a judgment on the spot.
There were reasons to doubt, but also reasons to believe.
"Which one are you?"
Lord Yama, hearing Lin Yun’s question, also revealed a hint of a smile. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"It seems you have some understanding of the Innate Gods. Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you the truth! I am the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit!"
Lin Yun was dumbfounded at his opponent’s proud bearing.
Frankly, he felt like he had a greater claim to being the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit.
Now, here comes someone else jumping out claiming the same; Lin Yun was flabbergasted.
Was this a case of meeting a fake while being the genuine one?
Lin Yun silently asked the Earth Scripture: "Do you think what he’s saying is true?"
The Earth Scripture replied promptly: "Regarding matters related to the Innate Gods, what I know isn’t abundant or accurate. I only know about certain events that have intersected with me. So, whether he is the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, I’m not sure."
The Earth Scripture was being very obedient now, just waiting to be traded away by Lin Yun.
Moreover, he had already provided a pre-emptive cover for his future owner.
He indeed wasn’t sure if Lord Yama was the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit or not, but Lord Yama had mentioned the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit without bursting into flames, meaning the probability of him being genuine was as high as eighty percent.
The Divine Position of an Innate God isn’t something anyone can claim, and a lack of backlash is an acknowledgment.
However, this Lord Yama currently seems a bit down and out, lacking the Divine Position of an Innate God, which is why he’s being oppressed by Qing Nu.
At this time, if Lin Yun helps Lord Yama regain his Divine Position, this would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather; how could the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit shortchange him in the future?
The Earth Scripture could already see its bright future.
It’s attitude towards Lin Yun had improved greatly, just wanting to leave quickly.
Hearing that the Earth Scripture wasn’t too certain, Lin Yun also had his doubts.
The other gods spectating were already groaning on the ground.
Whether it’s the name Qing Nu or the title of Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, hearing them was a spiritual shock for them.
This is the crushing power of a Divine Position.
Lin Yun looked at Lord Yama, totally puzzled: "You say you are the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, then how come you’re so afraid of..."
Before Lin Yun could say the two words, Lord Yama motioned for him to be quiet.
"I’m not afraid of her, it’s just that I’m currently lacking something crucial, without which my Divine Position is not restored."
Lord Yama looked at Lin Yun eagerly, making Lin Yun’s skin crawl.
Good golly, he couldn’t be the missing part, could he?
From the look in Lord Yama’s eyes, as if he wanted to devour him, Lin Yun felt that Lord Yama’s desire for the Earth Scripture paled in comparison to his desire for Lin Yun himself.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but come up with a bold thought; both he and Lord Yama were the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, but he was just a part of it while Lord Yama was another part.
This also matches the conclusions of the previous investigation.
When a Divine Spirit’s power reaches a certain threshold, it will split into two or more Gods.
Logically, Innate Gods do not need to split, but what if?
So, this thing wants to devour him and become the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit again?
In an instant, Lin Yun pondered many things in his mind, and after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to bring out the last of his trump cards.
"It’s also a coincidence, you think you are the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit, I think I am too."
Earth Scripture: "???"
Hearing Lin Yun say that, he suddenly wavered.
Because after Lin Yun said this sentence, he was not burned by the fire, and moreover, after Lin Yun spoke, the fire inside him burned even more fiercely.
Like the excited subject upon hearing the overbearing declaration of their monarch.
This...
Why does he feel like Lin Yun indeed resembles the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit more?
For a moment, Earth Scripture reached the same conclusion as Lin Yun.
The two Ancestors of the Fire Spirit present were both genuine; there were no fakes.
Now, Earth Scripture also deeply regrets that he did not think of this layer at all.
Isn’t it very easy to think about?
Qing Nu treated Lin Yun with such courtesy, and Lin Yun still possesses fire that could burn him. This is something only Innate Gods can do; he should have guessed from the start that Lin Yun is the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit or someone who has received the power of the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit!
Why did he think Lin Yun had another opportunity, just because this fire is different from the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit’s?
Maybe the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit has evolved, right?
Though it says there’s no room for advancement for Innate Gods...
In any case, Earth Scripture is now very annoyed.
Why couldn’t he think of something so simple in the beginning?
Using mortal words, it’s like being blinded by lard.
Now that two Ancestors of the Fire Spirit have appeared, he still wants to stand on Lord Yama’s side.
Although he does not know what sort of character Lord Yama has, it is already certain that Lin Yun is not a mortal.
At least he can still gamble that Lord Yama is a person.
The entire Yama Hall became dead silent because of Lin Yun’s words, and Lord Yama’s eyes looking towards Lin Yun became much sharper.
"Originally, I didn’t want to make a move on you. I also wanted to see how far you could grow, what a pity."
Lord Yama looked regretful, but Lin Yun was indifferent. He smiled and said, "You don’t need to deceive me. I guess, you are not able to make a move on me, right? Let me think, the thing on me that makes you wary, is probably only my own merits and destiny.
If I’m not mistaken, those who want to kill me, will be smitten by divine retribution!"
Lord Yama: "..."
He could not refute it at all; Lin Yun was completely correct.
Lin Yun’s destiny was indeed outrageously strong.
When he encountered danger, if he himself couldn’t resolve it, then nearby there was a high probability that a friendly force would appear to help him overcome the difficulty.
If the friendly force that appeared also couldn’t solve the problem, then, divine retribution would start.
Like with the Demon Dragon in the Land of Death, at the time, the Demon Dragon definitely did not understand why it, who had been a demon for a lifetime, was struck dead by Thunderbolt, and the first strike was the strongest type of Thunderbolt, not giving it any chance at all.
But he still stubbornly said: "You overestimate yourself too much, you’re only protected by destiny and have a Divine Position by your side. It is inconvenient for me to make a move on you; otherwise, you would have died ten thousand times over!"
"Is that so? But in fact, you’ve already made a move on me, haven’t you? It seems your luck is not good and you’ve also suffered backlash."
Lin Yun said with a smile, "In fact, I understand you very well, you don’t have to bluff in front of me, Dongfang Yao!"
