Chapter 983 Changes, Adapt, and Grow

983 Changes, Adapt, and Grow

Lin Fan rushed into her arms, embracing her tightly. Only a moment had passed for him; one second, he was dead, and the other, he was revived. However, death felt like an eternity for Lin Fan. So, he wanted to find comfort in the familiarity.

As he held her into his arms, that familiarity soothed his soul, at least for a moment. He soon realized something was different about her???she was now three inches taller than he remembered.

"A lot has happened since I've been gone, huh?" asked Lin Fan.

"You have no idea," replied Xu Shi with a deep sigh.

"Why don't you catch me up? How was your final battle?

How did you defeat Wang Wei and kill that bitch Su Ya?"

Xu Shi looked at him, and Lin Fan was perplexed by her eyes.

"Things are not as simple as you imagine," continued Xu Shi as she sat him down and served some tea while explaining everything that occurred since his death.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan kept drinking without stopping. He was never a significant fan of tea, but on this occasion, he had no choice but to drink as much as possible.

In the next hour, he learned too many things. He learned about the cause of his death???the Supreme Outlaw Trial.

He learned his greatest enemy???Wang Wei???passed the trial. He learned about Su Ya's fate of sealing herself.

He learned about who died before reaching the final battle, who became crippled, how controversial the Clean-up was, the excitement of the Gu Xuan Trial, the final battle and those two titans' achievements, the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor Era and the current changes of the world.

Lin Fan kept drinking his tea, feeling this was the only soothing thing for him in this world.

"Maybe I shouldn't tell you everything as soon as you return," said Xu Shi.

"No, it's fine. It's better to receive the shock now than later," he replied, exhaling deeply to calm down.

"Well, you're taking the news better than I anticipated."

"After all, I've experienced true death. Such an experience will change anybody," replied Lin Fan calmly.

"I see. So, what do you think?"

Lin Fan took a moment, "I am both glad and sad I could not experience such a generation."

Fighting all these terrifying geniuses is anyone else's dream and nightmare. Lin Fan did not know what he would have eventually accomplished if his death had not untimely taken him. Although Xu Shi's accomplishments are an indication of his potential, it did not mean he could have reached the same height as her.

For example, he would never have left the Myriad Emperor World and proved the Dao elsewhere. His pride and status as the academy's next headmaster would never allow him to make such a decision.

So, could he have broken the barrier between mortal and immortal without heading to the Martial Hegemony World? Lin Fan did not know the answer to this question.

Lin Fan took another moment to reorganize his thoughts and plan for his future. He gazed at his wife, finding her both familiar and foreign.

'She must have figured it out,' he thought before exhaling out loud.

"So, what's next? I mean, for us."

Xu Shi did not immediately give him an answer, "I've been thinking about this for a while. The only way forward for our relationship is for there to be only the two of us."

"You want me to abandon the others?" asked Lin Fan in a frown.

"Our previous dynamic can no longer be the same."

Lin Fan smiled wryly as he knew she was correct. His current wife was a Great Emperor, no, even better; she was an Eternal Emperor???a being that stood at the apex of the food chain; how could she allow her husband to have multiple partners?

If the situation had been reversed and he had been the one who proved the Dao, everything would have been fine. But now, things can no longer go back to the old days.

"Can you give me some more time to think it over?" asked Lin Fan.

"That's fine," nodded Xu Shi. She never expected him to choose so easily. If he did, if he could easily abandon the others, it meant he was no longer the man she knew; one day, he could do the same to her.

"But be prepared that you might not have much time,"

said Xu Shi.

"What does that mean?"

"If my guess is correct, the Heavenly Emperor will summon all the Heaven Chosen in this generation.

According to him, he will give everybody a great opportunity. So, be prepared for the summon at any time."

Lin Fan frowned after hearing this, "What does Wang W...I mean, the Heavenly Emperor want?"

"I don't know exactly, but it should not be anything bad."

"I see. But what can I do in my current state?"

"Don't worry about this. I have prepared a string of Primordial Qi to temper your body and give you a powerful physique. Along with my Grand Dao Source Baptism, your talent will be even better than before," Xu Shi said with her angelic smile, making Lin Fantemporarily lose his mind.

He soon woke up and calmly nodded. "In that case, I can reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm in a short period. Maybe I can compete for the next generation's throne."

Xu Shi looked at him and secretly nodded.

'It seems that death has sublimated his Dao Heart.' She was satisfied with his changes, so she decided not to tell him about Wang Tian's existence and not to have any hope for the next generation.

'It's good for him to be motivated,' thought Xu Shi.

"Go, everybody is already waiting for you."

Lin Fan stood up and took one last glance at her before walking out of the room. As expected, many people were already waiting. Someone directly rushed into his arms, and the force pushed Lin Fan to the ground.

"Oh, husband, I'm sorry." She forgot the warning that her husband had lost all his cultivation and was now a mortal.

"Chunhua?" asked Lin Fan doubtfully. The woman he remembered was not this beautiful and otherworldly.

"Husband, it's me. Don't you recognize me?" said Mu Chunhua with a gentle smile. Over the years, with the help of the academy and sister Xu, her cultivation had reached the Supreme Realm, making her even more beautiful.

She was once the Saintess of the Heaven Water Sect, and her greatest goal or ambition in all her life was to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm and become an Ancestor-like character of her sect. Now, she laughed at her ignorant self when reminiscing about the past.

As such, Mu Chunhuan believed her greatest decision was marrying Lin Fan???even though a few elders disagreed.

Lin Fan smiled wryly, but only a few people could detect this change. He patted her head and softly said, "Help me get up."

"Oh, right."

Mu Chunhua realized her mistake and helped him from the floor. Following this, the other wives and concubines finally had the opportunity to reunite with their husbands.

As Lin Fan looked at these people, the first thought in his head was that everyone had now become more beautiful.

Such a change made sense since high cultivation had such an effect. However, something else dawned on him.

'Shi'er looked the same since I last saw her. It's not because she did not change but because she restrained her aura and spirit, returning to the time before I left to facilitate my return.'

Lin Fan secretly sighed. Of all his wives and concubines, she should be the one who changed the most. Yet, she was willing to restrain her aura just for his sake. No man could resist having such a caring wife, but as he looked at the others, he was still tangled:

'Do I have to abandon all of them?'

After experiencing such a death, Lin Fan was not too keen on having as many women as possible. In some ways, Su Ya left a psychological scar on his mind. However, he also felt it would be irresponsible to give up all these women who have followed him for so long.

"Fan'er, how have you been?"

"Father," said Lin Fan, looking at Lin Min with a smile.

"Your cultivation level?"

He discovered his father seemed more unfathomable than everyone in the room???including his teacher, Qiu Jin.

"It's all Shi'er's doing; she gave your sister and me a Grand Dao Source Seed."

"I see," nodded Lin Fan. He realized the academy did not treat his family badly despite what had happened to him.

His act of passing his power and talent to Xu Shi was also a self-preserving method for his family.

After all, he would be gone, so the academy might not treat his clan as well as they used to and maybe even treat them terribly. Lin Fan knew better than anyone else how powerful factions treat people they considered worthless.

"Well, let's not talk about such a thing. How have you been? What about you, teacher Qiu Jin? You look better than ever."

"I came to check on you," said Qiu Jin. "After you finish reuniting with your family, we can talk."

"Okay," nodded Lin Fan.
