The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3401 The God and His Followers
In the starry sky, Lin Chen put away the exquisite pagoda, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Lin Chen appeared far from the conflict zone, observed the surroundings, and after confirming it was safe, he summoned the Linglong Pagoda and flashed into it.

In the boundless天地 (heaven and earth), a Celestial Clan man hovered in mid-air, his face filled with shock.

There's actually another world inside this tower!
He looked around, but there was no one there, and no sign of any living creature.

He randomly chose a direction and sped off.

Although it seemed that no one had made a move against him yet, he was panicking because he found that no matter how he activated the token in his hand, the token did not react in any other way except to emit light.

This space is completely isolated from the outside world!

He's trapped!
He panicked.

He flew and flew, ever forward, but the world seemed endless, and he could not fly to the edge at all.

Just as he was panicking, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and Lin Chen appeared out of thin air in front of him. Immediately afterwards, Sun Yixiao's figure also appeared out of thin air behind him, and the two of them blocked him from the front and the back.

The man looked at Lin Chen in front of him, then at Sun Yixiao behind him, and was extremely anxious: "If you kill me, the Celestial Clan will not let you off the hook."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Your companions were killed by the ghosts, and no one came to save them. You betrayed your companions, and no one came to save them either. No one avenged them. This world is isolated from the world. If you say you died here, who would know?"

The man's biggest trump card was his identity as a member of the Celestial Race, but now that identity had completely lost its deterrent effect, and he panicked completely.

He knelt down cleanly in mid-air: "Killing me will not bring you any benefit. Spare my life, and I can help you!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Is that so? Your life is indeed of no use to me, but if you want me to keep your life, tell me, how can you help us?"
Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, the man said without hesitation, “You know nothing about our Celestial Race, do you? You know nothing about this sea of ​​stars, do you? I can tell you all of that. With detailed information, whether you want to hide away and endure five years to return safely, or you want to seek opportunities for the Great Dao and compete with the Celestial Race’s trial participants, you will at least have more options.”

Lin Chen replied, "I do want to know all of this. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The man asked hopefully, "Are you promising not to kill me?"

Lin Chen replied, "If you cooperate and tell me everything you know, I can spare your life. However, I cannot let you leave here for the time being. As for whether you can leave in the future, that depends on fate. This is the bottom line I can agree to for now."

The man breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he wasn't dead!
As long as you're alive, you have a chance!

Although living in this world means being bound by freedom, what's the point of talking about anything else if you don't even have a life?
"Okay, you mean it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Your life is in my hands, so I have no reason to deceive you. Now, seal your strength and show your sincerity in submitting to me."

The man hesitated. If he sealed his strength, it would be tantamount to giving up all resistance and handing his life over to Lin Chen.

But considering my current situation, it seems there's no chance of turning things around. Struggling in vain will only lead me into a bigger trap and cause me more suffering.

The man pointed a finger at the purple diamond-shaped mark between his eyebrows, and the mark suddenly dimmed.

The man explained, "This purple rhombus-shaped crystal mark is the destiny mark of our Celestial Clan. It stores the spiritual power we cultivate. Once the purple rhombus-shaped crystal mark is sealed, we will be unable to use our power and will be like cripples." Lin Chen nodded, "Let me feel it."

Lin Chen walked to the man's side, extended his finger, and touched the diamond-shaped crystal mark between the man's eyebrows.

As Lin Chen's consciousness rushed in, the world before his eyes suddenly changed.

The vast space and surging spiritual energy made Lin Chen realize that this was similar to a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the space of the Celestial Race's rhombus-shaped mark appeared even more expansive, as if it had no boundaries at all.

Lin Chen frowned. If there are no boundaries, then where are the barriers and bottlenecks?

Lin Chen raised his question, and the man replied, "The Celestial Race has no such thing as a bottleneck. As long as one cultivates enough spiritual power, one's strength will naturally increase. Well, I'm talking about before becoming a Saint."

"As long as one cultivates diligently, as long as there are sufficient cultivation resources, and as long as there is enough time, every member of the Celestial Race can cultivate to the level of a Quasi-Saint. However, to become a Saint, one needs to obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao."

"The Spirits of the Great Dao are created by the gods and provided to the people. However, the number of Quasi-Saints is too large, while the number of Spirits of the Great Dao is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to go through various tests or competitions to compete for the ownership of the Spirits of the Great Dao. Those who obtain the Spirits of the Great Dao can become Saints."

The spirit of the Great Dao?

This must be the name of the great opportunity.

Lin Chen asked, "What exactly does 'Spirit of the Great Dao' refer to?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "The Great Dao in the universe is unique. The Great Dao controlled by the true gods is unique. When they control the Great Dao, they can absorb the power of the universe and condense it into the spirit of the Great Dao."

"The Spirit of the Great Dao is a weakened version of the Great Dao. If the Great Dao is likened to a great tree, then the Spirit of the Great Dao is the fruit that grows on that tree. The fruit cannot represent the great tree, but it possesses the same power of the Great Dao as the tree. These fruits are useless to the great tree, but they have a great enhancing effect on the Quasi-Saints, helping them to become Saints."

“A pear tree can only bear pears, and a peach tree can only bear peaches. Those cultivators who devour these Dao spirits and become saints are the faithful followers of this god.”

Lin Chen listened to his vivid analogy and finally understood.

The gods are the true controllers of the Great Dao; they are synonymous with the Great Dao itself. Each god is unique, and the spirits of the Great Dao they create can nurture many saints. These saints will naturally follow them and become their supporters.

"After using the spirit of the Great Dao to become a saint, in addition to the abilities that one already possesses, one also has a special ability, which is divine descent. One can communicate with the gods one believes in and pray for divine descent to help oneself."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "So that means every god has countless followers, and he can also use his abilities to descend and help his followers, that is, his believers..."

The man nodded: "Yes, that's it."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "If you two saints were to fight and each used Divine Descent, wouldn't it end up as a battle between gods?"
