95: What are thighs!
As Lin Chen gave up the Green Divine Path inheritance, he seemed to have initiated the recognition process for the Nine-Colored Divine Court, a legacy artifact.
Perhaps it was Lin Chen's indifference to the Nine-Colored Divine Path that made the Nine-Colored Divine Court believe he was a prodigious talent with limitless potential, destined to surpass the Upper God level in the future, thus making the Nine-Colored Divine Court willing to recognize him as its master.
The Nine-Colored Divine Court's recognition was not without conditions; its only requirement was to pass on the Nine-Colored Divine Path. Only when nine inheritors of the Nine-Colored Divine Path appeared could Lin Chen truly control the Nine-Colored Divine Court.
Currently, there were only Xie Huang and Wan Xue, two Divine Path inheritors. The other seven-colored Divine Path inheritors still needed to be gathered before the Nine-Colored Divine Court could be truly mastered by Lin Chen.
However, he could already reluctantly manipulate the Nine-Colored Divine Court; at least, shrinking it to carry with him was not an issue.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Chen shrunk the Nine-Colored Divine Court.
The miniature version of the Nine-Colored Divine Court floated in his palm, and Lin Chen didn't have many thoughts about it.
For a legacy artifact like this, his personal mastery of it didn't hold much meaning; it would be like a pearl gathering dust.
His idea was simple: send it back to his family for them to control. If someone in the family could inherit one of the Divine Paths within, that would be excellent.
What he didn't value didn't mean others wouldn't.
Furthermore, the family could also open the inheritance to others. As long as someone accepted the Divine Path inheritance from the Nine-Colored Divine Court, they would owe the Lin family a favor, which would build connections and greatly benefit the family's development.
This premise was based on the Nine-Colored Divine Path inheritance not being unique; as long as one met the inheritance conditions, they could embark on the Nine-Colored Divine Path.
Accepting a Divine Path inheritance did not mean one could become a God; it merely provided a dependable path, proving that this road was indeed passable. The challenges of becoming a God would still remain.
Putting away the Nine-Colored Divine Court, Lin Chen noticed that his teammates' gazes towards him had grown even more fervent.
"Godfather, take us with you!"
"Godfather, this inheritance is too awesome, I want it too."
"Godfather..."
Each cry of "Godfather" represented the teammates' yearning for opportunities.
Their luck didn't support them in acquiring opportunities, and now a golden leg was right before them. If they missed this, they would regret it for a lifetime.
Their lifetime's luck had already been used up by meeting Lin Chen and being able to be comrades with him for a period of time.
"Opportunities cannot be forced."
"I'm not sure if I'll have such good luck again, but if you stick with me, you should gain something."
Lin Chen didn't speak with absolute certainty, but his luck was indeed good, and acquiring the Nine-Colored Divine Court was proof.
"Godfather, it's fine, we're just freeloaders, we'll be happy just to get some soup following you."
Everyone also knew their place and understood that opportunities could not be forced. What they could do now was firmly follow Lin Chen, hitching a ride on his luck, and more or less gaining some treasures they had never had access to before.
Upon acquiring good things, Lin Chen naturally showed them off in the group, and also checked if there was anything useful for the group members.
The God Rank Oldies in the group had helped him a lot in the early stages, providing him with protection. Now that he was powerful, he naturally couldn't forget the God Rank Oldies in the group when he had good things.
[God Rank Oldie Chat Group 1853]
Lin Chen (Tenth Order God Rank Oldie): @Everyone blah blah blah... [Nine-Colored Divine Court Photo] jpg
Lin Chen (Tenth Order God Rank Oldie): Those interested can come find me. God Rank Oldies in the group, see if it's possible to deduce a more advanced Nine-Colored Unity Main Divine Path. I will also hand over this inheritance to the federation later.
Red Thread Lord (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): Envy!
Xingchen Daoren (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): Ah, it's not an inheritance of my Divine Path, crying like a storm.
September (God Rank Oldie): @Most Handsome Group Leader, work has arrived. A complete branch of a Main Divine Path has been gathered. Shouldn't you make a move!
...
Five Elements Immortal (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): I'm interested. By analogy, I might be able to take that step towards becoming a God.
Dr. Jin (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): @Lin Chen, when are you coming to the Godfiend Research Institute? I really need you.
Professor Li (Old Geezer Ascended to Godhood): Isn't this a coincidence? I happen to be a climber on the color Divine Path, and I've obtained the inheritance of the God of Black. Now I can finally complete the inheritance, and becoming a God is within reach!
...
Most Handsome Group Leader (God Rank Oldie): When you return to Blue Star, you can show me the Nine-Colored Divine Court. I estimate I can deduce a Nine-Colored Main Divine Path, whose upper limit should reach the semi-conceptual level.
Lin Chen (Tenth Order God Rank Oldie): No problem, I'll find a time to send the Nine-Colored Divine Court back to Blue Star.
The God Rank Oldies in the group were truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Five Elements Immortal and Professor Li both clearly stated that they could gain something through the Nine-Colored Divine Court, and perhaps even break through the difficulty of becoming a God with it.
With coordinates privately messaged, Five Elements Immortal and Professor Li were rushing to Lin Chen's area as quickly as possible. The temptation of becoming a God made them unable to wait a moment longer.
Because they had to wait for Five Elements Immortal and Professor Li, Lin Chen and the others temporarily did not leave Mo Tuo Star, but waited in place, while also exploring Mo Tuo Star to see if there was a second place of opportunity.
A day passed, and everyone only acquired some materials, small opportunities belonging only to the One-Eyed Giant Race. There were no heaven-defying large-scale opportunities.
Not only that, but instead of waiting for opportunities, danger arrived first.
The emergence of the Nine-Colored Divine Court attracted the attention of "Green Ancestor" and "White Lord." They sensed the core objects of their Divine Paths appearing.
Concerning their Divine Paths, even if it might be a trap, the two fallen Evil Gods were unwilling to let go.
They were both Upper God level, and they already had some clues about breaking through to Main God. Nine-Colored Unity was the time for their enlightenment, but they had searched the starry sky and still hadn't found the other seven-colored Divine Path inheritances.
However, Mo Tuo Star's geographical location was too close to the Human Race Territory. From a macroscopic scale, the Mo Tuo Star region, and even the One-Eyed Giant Race starfield, were within the Human Race's power radiation range, too close to the Human Race.
This made "Green Ancestor" and "White Lord" dare not act rashly. They could only send down their Ninth Order Gods dependents to investigate, and even dared not descend with avatars condensed from their core divinity.
As Evil Gods, not provoking the Human Race had become an instinct, especially for "Green Ancestor," who had been beaten many times by the Human Race. If it weren't for its certain conceptual nature, it would have long become a trophy of the Human Race.
"Tsk, I always felt like something wasn't right, but now everything feels normal. The bad luck after good luck taking effect, that's normal."
Lin Chen looked at the green and white energy clusters derived on Mo Tuo Star, and immediately felt at ease.
He wasn't afraid of enemies appearing, only afraid of them not coming and secretly brewing something big for him.
"Oh, there's an unexpected gain."
"Green Ancestor and White Lord, very good. They can be used for research, which will help my Divine Path."
Five Elements Immortal and Professor Li, two Dengshen Ninth Order God Rank Oldies, finally arrived after rushing, their arrival time a few minutes earlier than the two Evil Gods' dependents.
In this day and age, who still plays the trick of last-minute rescues and divine interventions? Now everyone arrives early, acting like a sneaky old fox waiting for the enemy to take the bait.
"Young friend, you are a blessed person."
"Young friend, if you have any scientific research matters in the future, just mention my name, it will be of some use."
"Hehe, I'll leave the enemies to you. I'll watch the show from the side."
"Leave it to us. We'll definitely destroy them later; we can't let them occupy the origin of the Divine Path."
A few minutes later, the two Dengshen Ninth Order Evil God dependents broke through space and arrived above Mo Tuo Star.
The two Evil God dependents disliked each other. After all, they were both the same type of Evil God, and to advance further, there was no faster way than devouring each other.
During the Godfall Era, they were comrades fighting side by side, but now they had long become sworn enemies, wishing to kill each other upon meeting.
Evil Gods were just that chaotic, driven only by self-interest and instinct.
If it weren't for the Evil God's command suppressing them, they would have erupted into battle the moment they met. There would be no such quiet time, but if they truly discovered something next, a battle was inevitable.
Lin Chen and his group were hidden by Five Elements Immortal and Professor Li. Everyone watched the two Evil God dependents confronting each other through the barrier.
"It's too quiet like this, make them fight."
Lin Chen, acting as a mischief-maker, drew out a wisp of the Black Divine Path inheritance aura and exposed it in space.
The two Evil God dependents sensed the distinctly different yet homologous power, and the Evil Gods behind them naturally also sensed the Black God information within the inheritance aura.
The Evil God gave the order, and the two Evil God dependents instantly attacked, directly charging at each other.
Because their powers were homologous and they had fought too much, neither could do anything to the other. They were taught by the same master, so they couldn't break each other's moves.
Only by killing the other could they monopolize the information about the Black God here, know the Black God's whereabouts, and seize the initiative.
Back then, the God of Black pursued them, wanting to clean house, but in the end, the Outer Gods behind them intervened and severely wounded the God of Black.
Although the God of Black escaped, it was not long for this world. Subsequently, the God of Black's inheritance was lost in the starry sky, and Green Ancestor and White Lord searched for a long time but couldn't find many clues.
The Black God's inheritance was secondary; the most important thing was the Nine-Colored Divine Court inheritance that the God of Black carried. Therefore, Green Ancestor and White Lord, the two Gods, were unwilling to let go of any opportunity to find the Black God's inheritance.
"Hey, you're really bad."
"Is this called bad? This is called smart. Weakening the enemy at the start means you two can kill them more easily later. Otherwise, even Evil God avatars might descend."
"You're right. After all, they are two Upper Evil Gods. If they really descend with God-level Evil God avatars regardless of the consequences, we can only ask for help from Kongwen Lao Deng."
