Chapter 1147 Special Stories (1)
Seeing that Lin Fan had agreed, the old man didn’t hesitate to turn around and walk into the back of the store. As he walked back, he waved his hand at them to follow him.
Lin Fan’s group just looked at each other before following behind the old man.
In the back of the store was an array that the old man stood in the center of.
Seeing that they hesitated to enter the array, the old man said, “Just come in already, this is just a teleportation array to send me back to the City Lord Manor. This is how I sneak out to manage this store from time to time.”
Hearing this, all of them couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile.
Even though this old man was a powerful god, one of the most powerful God Realm Experts on this continent, he still acted like this. It really was hard for them not to say anything about this.
But still, they entered the array with the old man.
Once they were all in, there was a wave of the old man’s hand and a flash of white light before the scene around them suddenly changed.
They were no longer in a dirty old room in the back of the old bookstore, but rather in a stern looking room befitting of a City Lord.
The old man waved his hand for them to follow him again as he walked off all on his own.
They looked at each other again before following him with a sigh.
When they came out of the room, they found that there were people waiting outside.
Once these people saw the old man, they immediately went to surround him, but he just raised his hand to stop them before saying, “It’s a Code Gold.”
As soon as he said this, all of them couldn’t help looking at them.
But every single one of them was a God Realm Expert…so the pressure that fell onto them was very intense. Following that pressure, there was a powerful spiritual sense that came over them.
They couldn’t resist even if they wanted to since these were God Realm Experts, so they just let it happen. After all, they weren’t able to feel a trace of hostility from them.
Once they were done checking them, all of them turned their attention to Lin Fan.
After all, they were all immediately able to tell that this Code Gold was involving him.
They were about to surround him, but the old man then said, “I already said get to work! What are you all crowding around for?”
When they heard this, all of these God Realm Experts couldn’t help trembling.
In the end, they all took one last look at Lin Fan before heading off to do what they needed to do.

With the way that they looked at him, it was almost like they were lovers of his who had been ignored by him.
Angela couldn’t help feeling very strange when she saw them acting this way.
The old man just calmly said, “Alright, come with me.”
Without waiting to see if they followed or not, he turned around and walked down the hallway.
They watched him walk off and after a moment of hesitation, they followed behind him.
As they walked through these halls, there were many people that they passed. Every time that they passed by someone, they would always turn to look at their group.
It was clear by the direction that their eyes were looking in that every single one of them…were looking at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan almost felt like an animal in the zoo with all of the attention he received, but he pretended like he didn’t see any of this. He just calmly followed behind the old man through this hall.
Luckily for them, they didn’t have to go far to reach their destination.
With just a few turns, they reached a room that seemed to be an office.
The old man didn’t sit down at the desk and went over to one of the walls in this office.
He tapped a few times on the wall before finding what he was looking for and pressing something on the wall. That part of the wall that he pressed slid in to reveal a hidden passage in this wall behind a bookcase.
Once again, he didn’t wait for them at all as he went through this hidden passage that appeared.
Seeing him go in, they had no choice but to follow behind him.
It was another short walk to find that there was a small room at the end of this hidden passage.
The only thing of note in this small room was the array on the ground.
But the moment that he saw this array, Lin Fan couldn’t help knitting his brows.
That was because he could sense the spatial laws that were coming from this array.
These were spatial laws that were on the same level as the spatial laws that the system used in the defense system for the store. This meant that these were spatial laws that were in the God Realm.
Only when we were in this room did the old man stop and turn around to face them.
He pointed at the array and said, “Get in.”
Lin Fan’s group was certain that this was a teleportation array, but as for where it would send them…
The old man naturally knew what they were thinking, but since he had already come this far…
There was a powerful force that came over them that lifted them off the ground.
Then as they were flying, they were lifted into the array and placed in the center.
After Lin Fan’s group landed there, they could feel the spatial energy surrounding them as the array was activated.
The old man just calmly said, “You’ll find out why I needed to send you once you arrive.”
They didn’t even get a chance to say anything as a bright flash of white light appeared.
Then when it disappeared, Lin Fan’s group found that they were in a completely different place with a completely different old man standing in front of them.
This old man looked at them with a smile, but it was the same thing where a powerful spiritual sense filled them. They couldn’t resist, so they didn’t resist and just let this spiritual sense sweep over them.
After a while, the spiritual sense disappeared and the old man said, “So it really is you.”
He waved his hand and turned around as he said, “Come, come, we have much to talk about and little time.”
All that they could do was look at each other before following the old man out of this room.
After coming out of the room, they found that there was another group that was waiting outside for them. But this time, the old man didn’t allow them to sweep them with their spiritual senses.
With a single glance from the old man, the crowd immediately moved aside and created a path for them.
But there were still many of them that looked at them with longing looks, just like lovers that had been abandoned.
Angela knitted her brows seeing this, so she moved over to Lin Fan’s side and grabbed his arm.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile, but he allowed her to do what she wanted.
After following the old man through the crowd, they eventually reached a room that was just like the one that they had been in before. This was clearly the room of a person who was in charge of a city.
But this time, there was no secret passage that they were made to enter.
Instead, the old man sat down and gestured at the seats in front of him, making it clear that he wanted them to sit.
They looked at each other before finally sitting down.
The old man gave a nod seeing this and then said, “I’m sure that you have plenty of questions, but there are many things that I can’t explain to you. I can only tell you that I’m the city lord of this city and this city is the capital of the northern continent. You could also call me the paragon of the northern continent’s pantheon.”
This was what they already knew, so they were waiting to see what new things he would have for them.
The old man saw that they weren’t surprised, but he also wasn’t surprised by this since those that sent them here should have already told them this.
The old man just calmly continued, “As for what comes next, you will be sent to each of the capitals on each of the continents to meet the city lords there. Each of them is a paragon just like me and each of them will give you some information.”
Once again, they didn’t react as they waited to hear what he had to say.
The old man once again calmly said, “For me, I will be telling you about the God Realm and explaining just what it is.”
This time, they couldn’t keep the same calm expression that they had the entire time.
The God Realm…this was what they had been chasing after this entire time.
The one peak that they had never been able to reach…
And now it was being explained to them in simple words…
This just wasn’t something that they could react to that simply.
They didn’t know how to feel about this, but the old man didn’t wait for them.
