Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Has my identity as the emperor been exposed?

Why?

besides......

"Eternity..."

Lin Fan murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly after hearing those two words.

He already knew of the symbol's existence from the previous encounter with the long-legged beauty.

The old villain was the number 5 symbol, representing slaughter.

So when you meet them, you just have to chop them up, no reason, no questions asked, just chop them up!

Eternity is a word that sounds incredibly powerful, especially when combined with the number 1...

"So... you're the strongest among the symbols?"

Yongheng smiled but didn't say anything.

To Lin Fan, that smile was like the Grim Reaper with a scythe slowly approaching him.

The symbols are all incredibly powerful, and now we've encountered the most powerful one yet!

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that easel right now!

and many more! ?

In that instant, Lin Fan quickly guessed what it was.

It's that great treasure!

This Eternal must be here to find that great treasure, otherwise it wouldn't be here!

Each symbol represents something like a rule that dictates their existence.

As for what eternity means, Lin Fan has lost interest in knowing now.

Now that things have come to this, he has no other choice.

He spread his arms and took a step back, blocking Assam and Wang Qingqing.

"Senior... senior."

Lin Fan thought for a moment and then addressed him in the same way.

The other person's face is really... indescribable!

There are men, women, young and old, and their genders cannot be determined from their voices and figures. The title "senior" is probably the most appropriate.

"Excuse me!"

"If there's nothing else, we'll proceed as follows..."

The moment the other party mentioned the symbol, Lin Fan had already given up.

He could not possibly defeat any of the symbols now, even if he was the emperor of the first rank.

"Don't rush."

"I do have something to discuss with you, Your Majesty."

"I just didn't expect you to come up to me on your own."

When Yongheng spoke, Lin Fan sensed something sinister in his otherwise calm voice, though perhaps it was just his imagination.

What followed indeed confirmed Lin Fan's intuition.

"I need you to help me find a canvas called 'The Future'."

"What is it?"

"I'm not an art student, why would you ask me to find a drawing board?"

Lin Fan remained silent for a moment, a strange look on his face, before answering.

Wang Qingqing and the other woman remained silent, but both wore expressions of confusion, as if they were hearing the name for the first time.

Upon hearing the name "Future," the three members of Lin Fan's group experienced a surge of adrenaline, as if they had given each other advance notice, and simultaneously unleashed their Oscar-worthy acting skills.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Just know that the 'future' is something only the emperor can find, so I won't kill you today."

"But remember, only by entrusting your 'future' to me can you truly live!"

"Otherwise, you, the treasure hunter, and that woman will all be killed by me!"

There is absolutely no room for luck!

Another bead of sweat rolled down Lin Fan's forehead.

The other party did nothing, just said a few words, and I'm like this. It's obvious that there's a huge difference between us.

Similarly, because the gap is so large, this is not a negotiation or a transaction at all, but a pure use!

Use yourself like you would an object!

This behavior reminded Lin Fan of those robbery movies shown on TV.

Will the other party really let them go then?

In terms of strength, the other side could kill the hostage if they wanted to, right?

In that sense, wouldn't the audience member who borrowed the "future" have indirectly saved their own life?

Otherwise, the three of us would be dead by now, right?

So, if he said he stole my things, I should thank him for saving my life!

However, this is not necessarily true. Wang Qingqing is a gambler, and her "chips" can be effective against killing, so they may also be effective against eternity.

Without practical experience, no one knows whether something will work or not.

It's true that "Future" is awesome, but whether it can be more valuable than or equal to eternity is really hard to say, after all, it's the number one symbol.

The sophistication is there.

and many more! ?

Thinking of gamblers, Lin Fan suddenly noticed a very strange phenomenon.

I hadn't thought of it before because of the excessive pressure.

Why did Yongheng reveal the identities of the emperor and the treasure-hunting expert, but not the gambler?

Judging from the gambler's one-on-one killing blows, Eternity has no reason to believe that its value can necessarily be greater than the "future".

In other words, the gambler is the only person present who could potentially threaten Eternity.

From this perspective, there seems to be only one possible outcome...

That means the other party didn't know that Wang Qingqing was a gambler!

Why?

Why was it that even I, who was the most advanced at each stage, was seen through, while Wang Qingqing, who was the weakest, was not?

Lin Fan is also a top student, and his thinking is equally quick.

The three of them were seen through the moment they stepped in.

This space that dispels the gray fog must be the work of Eternity, but only two of the three who entered at the same time had their identities revealed, indicating that they have nothing to do with this space.

So what is it that sees through their identities?

"Okay, I'll help you find it."

Lin Fan knew he had no choice; delaying would only lead to complications, so it was better to win directly.

"But I want to know exactly what this thing is. Don't overthink it, whatever it is, I will give it to you."

"I just think that knowing more will increase the probability of finding it, or shorten the time."

"And since even someone of your caliber wants this thing, it must possess terrifying power. Shouldn't you tell me about the key points to be aware of?"

"Don't wait until I find it, but I'm too dead to bring it back."

Although he already knew from the audience that "Future" had the power to change the future, Lin Fan felt it was necessary to ask in order to maintain his persona of not knowing "Future".

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that."

"The 'future' isn't a destructive weapon, and you can't activate it, so there are no precautions."

Lin Fan's idea was to use the power of the future to defeat this guy, but it seemed a bit presumptuous, as he failed to extract any relevant information.

"Okay, so... may I go now?"

Lin Fan didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a moment longer. As for whether leaving now meant he had completed his travels, he didn't care. He could only go to other safe zones to take a look.

"Don't rush, there's one last step in the process."

Yongheng smiled again, a somewhat eerie smile: "I need to take one last step to confirm."

"confirm?"

"Confirm what?"

Lin Fan asked.

"Confirm identity."

"To confirm whether you are truly the Son of Heaven!"
