“I see. Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

Lin Ye cupped his fists and bowed sincerely to the golden heart.

He had never heard such high-quality information about the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield from the citizens of other worlds.

Even though the ordinary prehistoric books that this fellow mentioned were common knowledge, there was probably a threshold to the word ‘ordinary’.

At least until now, neither Heaven Cast City nor the Five Elements Spirit Clan had heard of it.

He sighed inwardly. At the same time, he looked at the golden heart even more strangely.

“I should, I should.”

Perhaps because Lin Ye’s gaze was a little unnatural, the golden heart hurriedly said, “Alright, human brat, I’ve repaid your kindness. Don’t tell anyone about the inheritance statue that involves the Ancestral Magus level.”

“Otherwise, if word gets out, even a King-ranked powerhouse will take the risk to ambush you. That’s the logic.”

“Yes, that’s all for now. I have things to do. We’ll talk when we’re free.”

With that, he was prepared to use a secret technique to quickly escape.

As for the inheritance statue of Dijiang.

He no longer hoped to snatch it back from Lin Ye.

However, he had a plan in mind. When he returned, he would expose the news in the 36 Kings’ shared chat group.

Little brat, just wait to be hunted down by more than ten King-ranked powerhouses!

“Senior, don’t be anxious. It’s rare to meet you. I still have something to ask you.”

“Senior, please accompany me back to the Lin Clan’s headquarters. I will definitely treat you well and not disappoint you.”

A smile appeared on Lin Ye’s face. As he spoke, his Netherworld Blackwater domain under his feet cut off all escape routes for the Morning Star King.

“Kid, don’t go overboard. I’ll go wherever I want.”

King Xing Chen’s mind suddenly became sinister.

As long as Lin Ye dared to attack him forcefully, he would dare to completely detonate the Divine Dao Heart. Even if he could not kill the other party, he could at least make the other party return empty-handed.

“Don’t say that. Senior, don’t misunderstand me. I was just being kind.” Lin Ye looked aggrieved.

“Kind?”

King Morningstar sneered and pointed at the Netherworld Black Water Domain. “Is that your kindness?”

“I was just joking with Senior. I had no intention of forcing Senior to stay.”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment. “How about this? Senior, help me solve two more questions. When the time comes, Senior can leave. I won’t stop you.”

“Really? You’re not lying to me?” King Xing Chen was suspicious.

“I, Lin Ye, have always been a man of my word. It definitely counts.” Lin Ye patted his chest and promised solemnly.

After saying that, he took the initiative to disperse the Netherworld Black Water Domain.

“It had better be this case.”

King Xing Chen snorted. “Ask away!”

“First, does Senior recognize this item?”

Lin Ye took out an unknown metal fragment from his Void Ring.

This was the mysterious fragment he had obtained from the Skeleton Mountain zombie king, Wang Meng, when he entered Hell.

His perception made him feel that this thing was definitely not simple. However, neither Wang Meng, Mad Howl, nor Tian Xi knew anything about the fragment.

As one of the 36 Kings, King Xing Chen’s cognition was far above others.

As much as he wasn’t hopeful, what if he actually knew.

At the same time, he was secretly stalling for time. With the hints and Heart’s Web talent locked in, he was looking for the best time to strike.

“Eh?”

Initially, King Xing Chen did not think much of this human sovereign of the new season, even if he had the potential to become the ruler of the world.

It had only been a few days since the season started. What benefits could he get?

However, when it saw the fragment from the corner of its eye, it immediately let out a soft cry.

“Why, do you know it?” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.

“No.” King Xing Chen shook his head.

“Then what are you…”

The corners of Lin Ye’s mouth twitched. He was about to retort when he met King Xing Chen’s warning gaze. He coughed lightly and said, “Senior, even if you don’t know me, your knowledge far exceeds mine. You might have seen something just now. Senior, please enlighten me.”

“Don’t be patronizing. That’s one thing and another. I’ll answer this for you but in a moment, you’ll let me leave on my own.”

King Xing Chen’s tone was cold as he said calmly, “I don’t dare to beat around the bush. It’s true that I don’t recognize this thing, but deep in my memory, I seem to have seen something similar before. The answer is still related to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to a certain extent.”

“It goes back to the Divine Ancient Era. The master of the Zombie Divine Palace wasn’t injured then.”

“He once led the 36 Kings, the Lord of the Asura World, and a few other masters of the noble families of Hell to fight fiercely in the ancient Demon Court in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. It’s said that the target was a jade plate.”

“It’s made of a special material that vaguely resembles the fragment in your hand, but I’m certain that this is definitely not that jade plate.”

“As expected, it should be a fragment left behind by other top treasures similar to the jade plate.”

“Then do you know what the jade plate the Zombie Temple Master and the others are fighting over?” Lin Ye asked again.

“I’m not a know-it-all. You think the Master of the Zombie Temple would tell me an outsider about such a core secret?”

“If you’re really interested, wait until you reach the level of the master of the Zombie Divine Palace and the master of the cultivation world.”

“When the time comes, you can go to the Asura World personally and ask the Asura King.”

King Xing Chen sneered. With a flick of his finger, he threw the fragment back and urged, “Alright, ask the second question. Hurry up. I have something to do.”

“King Asura? So it must have taken the jade plate.”

After sorting out his conversation with the Morning Star King, Lin Ye secretly memorized this name.

He would verify it when he had the chance.

At the same time, he had a feeling that once he cracked the secret of this fragment, the outcome would be very terrifying.

He put away the fragment properly and hid it in the Void Ring he carried with him.

Then, he took out a black and red bead from his Void Ring again.

“This is?”

Before he got close, King Xing Chen felt a familiar aura.

It frowned. “Blood Sea Liquid?”

Immediately after, he shook his head and said, “Something’s wrong. The aura is similar, but there seems to be something different.”

“Senior, take a closer look. This is a treasure that I spent a lot of effort to obtain from the depths of a certain mystic realm.”

Lin Ye chuckled. “Although I know that this thing is precious, my horizons are limited and I’ve never been able to find out the reason. Senior, if you know, please tell me.”

“You’re unbelievably lucky, kid. You find all the good stuff.”

King Xing Chen cursed sourly.

Initially, he was still wary, afraid that Lin Ye would plot against him.

However, the aura inside the bead gave it a congenital sense of familiarity, like the Blood Sea Primordial Liquid of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Therefore, out of instinctive trust and some curiosity, he took the mysterious black and red bead.

However, the moment the golden heart observed the bead up close, a change occurred.
