Chapter 649: Is This the Power of Light?

The Dragon God was astonished. From initial shock, he had now grown accustomed to it. What more could be said? Lin Fan's strength was an eternal enigma, unfathomable and impenetrable. It seemed as though any strong opponent could be effortlessly defeated by him. This was the most terrifying aspect.

Lin Fan led them through the thick fog, and that familiar feeling intensified, as if he had truly been here before. Perhaps for him, this feeling was real, absolutely genuine.

The Dragon God discovered that the world within was different from what he had imagined. He had initially thought it would be a spiral world. But now it seemed that the universe they were in was very similar to their own, or perhaps there was no difference at all.

"Unexpectedly, this is another Great World," the Dragon God finally understood. The universe they inhabited was just like this one. It seemed this place also belonged to the Great Worlds. He felt a sense of relief. If Lin Fan hadn't brought him here, he might never have been able to come on his own. While the journey seemed uneventful, it was actually fraught with danger. Every encountered peril was terrifying, and with his abilities, he would have struggled to withstand them.

Now, the Dragon God realized that following Lin Fan could indeed broaden his horizons. The problem was... he hadn't encountered any beneficial opportunities yet. Everything was a quick walkthrough, without even pausing. Take the Starry Forbidden Grounds, for example. If they had searched carefully there, they would have definitely found opportunities. However… Lin Fan didn't give them the chance. It was all just passing through, moving from one place to another. It was truly a headache.

If possible, he truly hoped Lin Fan would stay and allow him to search for opportunities here. Even finding a small one would be satisfying. Unfortunately, there was no such chance.

Lin Fan looked at the world before him, light flickering in his eyes. Then, he closed his eyes, sensing the familiar aura.

"Hmm..."

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a puzzled look on his face. It wasn't that he hadn't found it, but... the situation was different from what he had expected.

"Lin Fan, what's wrong?" Old Zhang noticed something amiss in Lin Fan's expression and asked with concern.

Lin Fan said, "Nothing much, it's just that something feels off. The familiar aura is very faint, flickering in and out. It's strange, but it's alright. As long as I follow this aura, I'll find the truth."

"Mm, I believe you can do it," Old Zhang said.

Lin Fan replied, "I believe in myself too."

The Dragon God blinked, listening to their conversation. He had a lot to say but couldn't find the words. He had never felt this way before. But there was nothing he could do. Lin Fan and Old Zhang truly couldn't be viewed through the lens of ordinary people. They were too strange. Of course, he had long grown accustomed to this situation.

As they walked further, a more shocking scene unfolded. This starry sky had many differences from their own. The Dragon God discovered that the laws contained within this starry sky were different from theirs, or even simpler to say, more complete than the laws in their own starry sky.

As they walked, a commotion arose ahead. There were astonishing energy fluctuations and the impact of a battle. Soon, they saw a group of spheres of light traversing the universe, chasing a strange ship.

The ship was made of bronze, with an archaic design. Runes were imprinted on its hull, shimmering and dazzling.

"Sever!" A furious shout echoed.

A white light fiercely slashed against the ship. With a boom, the rapidly moving ship emerged from the starry sky, its speed gradually decreasing.

Several figures emerged from the ship. There were children and elderly people. Their expressions revealed their panic, clearly facing a terrifying situation and at a loss.

"Fellow Daoists, can you help us?" One of the men, his face grave and filled with anxiety, spoke. Seeing Lin Fan and the others, he didn't dare to say he had hope, but he wished to grasp any opportunity to survive.

Lin Fan's gaze didn't fall on the people emerging from the ship, but on the group radiating brilliance, their faces bearing arrogant smiles. He simply watched, as if sensing something.

"This power… feels so familiar," Lin Fan muttered to himself. There was an indescribable familiarity, as if it flowed from within him.

While he was pondering this, the pursued people arrived before Lin Fan and the others.

The Dragon God asked, "Who are you?"

The man, hearing the Dragon God's question, hurriedly replied, "Fellow Daoists, I am Chen Luo of the Chen family from the Bodhi Domain. We are being pursued by the Light Clan. If you can help us escape safely, I will be heavily indebted to you."

He was grasping at straws, completely desperate. The Light Clan was a powerful force, and few were willing to offend them by helping others. But now, no one could help them except these strangers before him.

The Dragon God frowned, looking at the man with confusion. Getting involved in a conflict right after arriving didn't seem like a wise choice. He looked at Lin Fan and found his gaze fixed on those people. It seemed this matter had to be dealt with.

Just as he was about to caution Lin Fan, Lin Fan spoke, "Are you using the power of light?"

The beings of the Light Clan noticed Lin Fan and, hearing his words, responded coldly, "Are you trying to interfere?"

Lin Fan asked, "Why are they after you?"

The pursued man said, "Because they want my ancestral treasure. Our entire Chen family has been exterminated. If you can take us away, we will be eternally grateful."

Lin Fan looked at the man carefully, his gaze gentle. Yet, this gentle gaze made Chen Luo feel uncomfortable, as if under immense pressure.

"Is everything you said true?" Lin Fan asked.

The Dragon God whispered, "Lin Fan, we should just take them and leave. There's no need for conflict."

Arriving in a strange universe, his first thought was to avoid making enemies. Without knowing who the strongest being in this universe was, and based on previous deductions, this universe's laws were very complete, suggesting the strongest here might not be weaker than them.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Wait, I've encountered something that seems related to me. I must inquire further."

The Dragon God was astonished.

Related?

You've just arrived here and haven't even interacted with anyone, yet you say it's related? He couldn't understand it.

Lin Fan approached the group from the Light Clan, his expression slightly serious.

"Are you using the power of light?"

He asked again.

A sentence from the past echoed in his mind.

"In that case, Warrior of Light, protect it in my stead."

That was the light from within Lin Fan's heart, merging with the world. Although much time had passed, he remembered it clearly.
