Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

"Swish~ Swish~"

In the sky, Linley wielded his black heavy sword without a blade, slicing through the surrounding air.

However, in Linley's perception, this so-called main artifact, apart from being more sturdy, didn't seem to be much better than the greatsword he used before.

The greatsword he used earlier was just a greatsword that he randomly redeemed from the system.

"Brother Lin Ke," Lin Lei asked as he flew towards Wushan Town, "this so-called main artifact doesn't seem to have anything special about it?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Lin Ke's voice rang in Lin Lei's mind. "A main artifact, as the name suggests, is a weapon used by a main god. Only gods can barely use it. You are only at the Saint Realm now, so you can't make any use of it."

Lin Ke's words left Lin Lei somewhat disappointed.

He acquired a weapon, but unfortunately, he can't use it yet.

"Moreover, the main artifacts are extremely attractive to gods." Lin Ke's tone carried a warning. "It's best not to let anyone find out that your weapon is a main artifact, otherwise many people will come to fight over it."

Lin Ke's words caused Lin Lei to pause in his flight.

"Then what should we do?" Linley frowned. "I can't just have weapons and not use them, can I?"

"Don't be too nervous." Lin Ke's voice was tinged with amusement. "At least in the entire Yulan Continent, only a very few people should recognize a main artifact. Others might just think that what you have is a relatively powerful artifact. But when you reach the Supreme Plane or the God Plane, you need to be careful."

"A very few individuals?" Lin Lei paused, taken aback. "Brother Lin Ke, are you referring to the God of War and the High Priest?"

"The God of War and the High Priest?" Lin Ke's tone was somewhat disdainful. "One of them hasn't made any progress in strength for tens of thousands of years, and the other has refined a divine spark to become a god. Moreover, they are both lower-level gods. It's impossible for them to know the main artifact. I'm talking about someone else, or rather, someone else entirely."

"There's another rat?" Linley's gaze involuntarily turned to Bebe on his shoulder. "Brother Lin Ke, you said before that Bebe's race is the God-Devouring Rat, the second God-Devouring Rat in countless billions of years?"

"Not bad, you're not stupid." Lin Ke's tone was relaxed. "Beibei's ancestor was the first God-Devouring Rat in the world. He was also born on the Yulan Continent. He, his three sons, and his wife all knew the main artifact. Moreover, they lived on the Yulan Continent. In the Supreme Plane and the God Plane, they were also at the pinnacle."

"Gulp~"

Lin Ke's words made Lin Lei swallow hard.

"Brother Lin Ke, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Lin Lei's tone was somewhat unnatural. "According to what you said, there are countless material planes in the entire world, and there might not be even one top expert in tens of millions of planes. How come there's a whole family like that on the Yulan Continent?"

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you," Lin Ke comforted Lin Lei. "Besides, there's more than one top expert on the Yulan Continent. There's another one in the dimensional prison who can be called the most talented person in the history of the Yulan Continent. However, he has never left the Yulan Continent in his life, so he doesn't know the main artifact."

Lin Lei was completely speechless at this point.

More than half a year ago, before Lin Lei had recognized the system and met Grandpa Delin.

The level eight dual-elemental mage who first arrived in Wushan Town was already the most powerful being Linley knew.

Later, I met Grandpa Delin and witnessed the battle between two Saints.

Lin Lei gained a clear understanding of the strength of the top experts on the continent of the Holy Domain.

However, Lin Lei has recently killed quite a few Saint-level magical beasts.

Therefore, Linley no longer held any reverence for the Sanctuary.

Even Linley himself is now a Saint-level expert.

However, even though he was in the Holy Alliance, Linley had heard the legends of the God of War and the High Priest since he was a child.

In Linley's mind, a god-level being was an unparalleled existence.

However, after Lin Ke's explanation, Lin Lei learned that even gods are divided into upper and lower levels.

The God of War was merely a lower-level god who had refined his divine essence to become a god.

Refine your divine essence and become a god!

When I left the Monster Mountain Range today, I also gave the Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape a divine spark.

In other words, he gave away a martial god?

But hidden within the small continent of Yulan is an even more powerful family, or rather, a family of rats.

A family of rats that are considered among the strongest in the entire world.

Even this isn't the strongest.

According to Brother Lin Ke, there is a being with the strongest talent since the birth of this plane, who is also in the prison of this plane.

What is this?

I've only just reached the Saintly Realm!

"So, Linley," Lin Ke said earnestly, "now you understand, the Holy Land is really just the starting point. You need to work even harder!"

"I understand, Brother Lin Ke." Lin Lei nodded seriously. "I will work even harder from now on."

With that, Lin Lei put the main artifact, Wufeng, into his spatial ring.

"But Brother Lin Ke," Lin Lei frowned again, "I estimate that in the past six months, you've killed at least one-twentieth of the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Surely you don't intend to stay there any longer?"

"Of course not!" Lin Ke's voice carried a hint of anticipation. "Didn't I just say that there's a person with the strongest talent in the dimensional prison?"

"A dimensional prison?" Linley asked curiously. "Brother Lin Ke, do you mean you want me to go to this so-called dimensional prison? How many Holy Domains can a prison hold?"

"You're mistaken," Lin Ke scoffed. "Let me ask you, if reaching the Saint Realm grants immortality, why is it that the combined number of Saint Realm beings among humans and magical beasts on the Yulan Continent, spanning countless billions of years since its birth, is less than ten thousand?"

Lin Ke's question also caught Lin Lei off guard.

Yes, why?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lei tentatively asked, "Brother Lin Ke, did you go to the Supreme Plane and the God Plane you mentioned?"

"It's impossible for every Holy Domain to want to go to the Supreme Plane or the God Plane, right?" Lin Ke scoffed. "Even if only one person from each generation of Holy Domains remained on the Jade Orchid Continent, over countless billions of years, there would be at least hundreds of millions of Holy Domains. But where did they all go?"

"Brother Lin Ke, you don't mean all these Saint-level beings are in the dimensional prison, do you?" Lin Lei felt his throat was a little dry. "How many people are there? Are they all Saint-level beings?"

"Conservatively speaking, there are definitely hundreds of millions of people." Lin Ke said nonchalantly, "The dimensional prison and the dimensional plane are two sides of the same coin. Due to countless years of fighting, the Yulan Continent was broken up and now only a small piece of land remains. However, the land inside the dimensional prison has not been affected. Moreover, the Holy Domain, whether it is the Supreme Dimension or the God Dimension, is just a consumable. It doesn't even count as a human. Only by becoming a lower god can one be considered a human."

Lin Ke's words reshaped Lin Lei's newly awakened worldview.

At the same time, Lin Lei had just broken through to the Saint Realm, and any lingering pride in his heart was completely extinguished.

But then Lin Lei became excited again.

So this is what the world above the Holy Land is like.

"Brother Lin Ke!" Lin Lei said with a smile above Wushan Town, "I can't wait to see the scenery of the dimensional prison and the high plane."
