Chapter 656: It Was My Carelessness

"Why are we even talking about this?"

"Whether or not I'm disappointed doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Yet, he couldn't explain why, but the words he'd just spoken felt strangely pressured. He couldn't quite read the young man standing before him.

But remembering that they held control of the light, that they were invincible in this world, he naturally relaxed his guard.

Lin Fan said, "Forget it, I don't want to waste words with you. Since I'm already here, I'll just take back everything."

He prepared to reclaim the power of light.

Then he walked towards the interior.

"Stop!" the old man roared, his eyes burning with flames. He was enraged by Lin Fan's disregard. "I've said it many times, you shouldn't have come here. Since you have, then stay!"

"Light Speed Consecutive Kicks!"

White light bloomed from the tips of the old man's feet. With a whoosh, he vanished from his spot, reappearing in the blink of an eye in front of Lin Fan, delivering a fierce kick.

This move…

This name…

Strangely familiar.

It fully unlocked Lin Fan's memory. He wasn't mistaken; it was a move he himself had once used.

And after he had left the light behind…

These moves could finally be displayed.

The old man's attack was fierce. Just this Light Speed Consecutive Kicks could shatter Lin Fan's head. At least, that was what the old man thought. But in Lin Fan's eyes…

Using my power to attack me, truly excessive.

The old man, certain of his hit, smiled at the corner of his mouth. Seeing the power of light, you will regret coming here.

Only…

He discovered that his kick hadn't landed. It had stopped right in front of his opponent.

Lin Fan raised a hand, caught his ankle, and with a light flick, tossed him aside.

The old man was startled, flipping several times in the air before landing steadily.

His face was filled with shock.

Clearly, he hadn't expected this.

Even the short-haired woman who had come to peek was stunned by the scene.

So powerful.

Immediately after,

She became excited.

Didn't this situation mean that these light traitors would be eliminated, and the world would return to normal?

Lin Fan said, "Give up, there's no need to resist. Your actions have disappointed me. Light is not meant for you to act recklessly."

The old man exchanged glances with the two other elders beside him.

A roar erupted.

The three elders glowed with white light, becoming younger, and then began to merge.

"Young man, your disappointment is worthless to us. The light is in our hands; whatever you say is useless."

A deep voice echoed.

As if all three were speaking simultaneously.

Long Shen nodded. Indeed, they were a bit stronger than before, but still weak. Did they still not grasp the situation before them?

Seeing this, the short-haired woman hiding in the shadows

was shocked and bravely called out,

"Be careful! They're merging! They'll become the legendary Light Warrior! Only by interrupting their fusion now do you have a chance of winning!"

She had been undercover here for a long time and knew some crucial inside information.

Lin Fan looked at the short-haired woman and smiled gently. "Thank you for the reminder, but it's alright."

Hearing this, the short-haired woman became anxious. She had explained it so clearly, yet he still didn't believe her. He couldn't be arrogant, or he would definitely regret it.

"Too late!"

The merging ball of light gradually dissipated.

What they considered the legendary Light Warrior finally appeared, clad in armor formed of light. His power was greater than before, but this strength was still insufficient against Lin Fan and Long Shen.

"Haha! See? This is the power of light! Once you control this power, giving it up is impossible! I am the god of this world!"

"Hahaha…"

The old man laughed maniacally, his expression contorted to the extreme, appearing almost insane. Anyone who saw such a smile would be utterly terrified.

The short-haired woman was terrified, panic gripping her heart.

Everything was ruined.

There had been a glimmer of hope.

But that hope was now gone.

In the blink of an eye,

The old man appeared before Lin Fan, raised a finger, and pointed it at Lin Fan's forehead, looking down at him.

"Are you afraid now?"

Lin Fan said, "I'm not afraid."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Because the light was left to you by me. You haven't used the light properly, and I'm disappointed. I came here to reclaim the power I gifted you."

When he spoke these words,

The air seemed to solidify.

Even the already panicked short-haired woman stared at Lin Fan, dumbfounded.

Her mind was filled with questions.

What had he just said?

Even the rather arrogant old man was momentarily stunned. After a brief silence,

"What did you say?"

He couldn't believe it, as if he had misheard.

If he could, he would have said… You're talking absolute nonsense.

Lin Fan said, "I didn't expect so much time to have passed. Your ancestor, Cheng Zhi, would be very disappointed if he knew. I once told him, believe in the light, and the light will exist. But I never thought that after so long, the light I left behind would become a disaster. You should be punished, but this punishment shouldn't come from me, but from the people here…"

"Reclaim!"

Suddenly,

The old man seemed to be struck by something, clutching his head in pain as the light on his body continuously dissipated, merging into Lin Fan's body.

"No, this is my power, my power!"

He cried out, reaching out to grasp the power dissipating from him.

But his grasp was a futile gesture.

Lin Fan glanced at him and turned to walk inside. The members inside the house, seeing Lin Fan enter, huddled in a corner, terrified. They had witnessed the scene just now.

The words spoken had also reached their ears.

The light that existed here was given by him?

Didn't that mean… the legends from long, long ago were true, and he was the creator god of light?

He had truly returned.

And this time, he had returned to reclaim the light.

Lin Fan came to the container and shattered it. "Light… you've suffered."

The consciousness of light said, "I'm used to it."

Lin Fan said, "You were too careless."

The consciousness of light said, "I chose to trust them, but they betrayed me. It was my carelessness."

"It's alright, I'm here. There won't be any more danger."

"Yes, but you came a little late."

"Not late. The moment I sensed it, I immediately came looking for you. You can ask Old Zhang, he can vouch for me."

Old Zhang patted his chest. "Lin Fan is right. We really did come looking for you the first moment we could."

The consciousness of light said, "Yes, I believe you."

Simple exchanges are often so unadorned and simple.

Light was complaining, and Lin Fan was comforting.

Without excessive words.

Just so straightforward and simple.

Perhaps this is love.

Lin Fan said, "Although you are my power, in this long period, you have developed your own consciousness, becoming an independent life form. I can't reclaim you. What do you want to do next?"

The consciousness of light said, "I've been deeply hurt, my heart aches. I want to travel around, see and listen. I heard there's a place, there's also light there. I want to go there and see, maybe I can find a group of like-minded friends."

"Is that so? That's wonderful."

"Yes, I think it's wonderful too."

Lin Fan communicated with the consciousness of light.

The surrounding people had long since prostrated themselves on the ground. He was the true god, the true creator god.

The great being had returned.

Having witnessed such a filthy scene, he finally reclaimed the light.
