Chapter 446 Plan
Of course, Lin Fei didn't have the perverse pleasure of introducing Yuan Tiangang from the past to the present.
Seeing Yuan Tiangang's all-knowing demeanor, Lin Fei went along with him, saying, "Senior Sage of Numbers truly lives up to his reputation of being able to see through the secrets of heaven. I greatly admire your ability to investigate the past and foresee the future."
Seeing that even Lin Fei, a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, was flattering him so much, Yuan Tiangang was quite pleased and repeatedly laughed, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I only know some divination skills. Compared with Fuxi, the Human Sovereign among the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, I am still far inferior."
This skill of divination was created and passed down to the world by Fuxi, the Human Sovereign, one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity. Although Yuan Tiangang spoke with humility, he was also implying that, apart from the Human Sovereign, no one could rival him in this skill of divination.
In Lin Fei's mind, the sigh of another Yuan Tiangang, who existed as Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, echoed: "I used to think that I was the best in the world and that no one would admit defeat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become so arrogant and tried to unravel the secrets on the Heavenly Dao Stele. That's why I ultimately caused the disaster that has plagued my Yuan family for generations!"
Yuan Tiangang's abilities were, of course, beyond question. He even managed to break the seal left by the True Martial Emperor on the Reincarnation Stone Tablet. However, it was precisely because Yuan Tiangang was so highly skilled that he disregarded others, ultimately leading to the tragic fates of successive heads of the Yuan family. If Yuan Tiangang had possessed reverence and hadn't been so blindly superstitious about his own identity, he wouldn't have rashly attempted to break the seal on the Reincarnation Stone Tablet, leaving endless trouble for his descendants.
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's sigh in his mind, Lin Fei couldn't help but transmit his voice to him, saying, "Senior Yuan, why don't you show yourself and meet your past self? Perhaps you can change the fate of the Yuan family."
Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a long time in my mind, and finally sighed, "No need. If we forcibly change the past, the future will become unpredictable, and it may even lead to a huge disaster. The suffering I have endured is my own fault, and I am already very satisfied with the current situation. There is no need to change it anymore."
Yuan Tiangang was quite philosophical about it. The opportunity to change his own fate, and even the fate of the entire Yuan family, was right in front of him, yet he chose to give it up. As he said, if he rashly changed the past, the future would become unpredictable. Whether it would be a blessing or a curse was hard to say, and it might even turn into another catastrophe.
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang was unwilling to reveal himself and meet his past self, Lin Fei did not insist. He said to the ancient sages in front of him, "I wish to do my part for the sake of the human race. I would like to travel to the Demon Palace with you sages. I ask the sages to make arrangements for me."
Yuan Tiangang is now the chief strategist of the human race, and he is responsible for assigning tasks related to the decisive battle against the demon race. After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Tiangang asked Lin Fei, "May I ask what level your skills have reached, young brother?"
For an ordinary person, Yuan Tiangang would have easily assigned them a task and sent them on their way. However, Lin Fei was a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, a person of special status, and Yuan Tiangang dared not make a decision rashly. He needed to know Lin Fei's abilities first.
Yuan Tiangang decided to arrange a mission for Lin Fei that would both ensure his safety and allow him to make a name for himself. This way, it wouldn't be disgraceful for Lin Fei's status as a descendant of the Three Sovereigns.
Lin Fei thought for a moment and then replied, "Although I am only at the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm, I am not inferior to those at the Celestial Realm. Even against a strongman at the Earth Immortal realm, I am confident that I can put up a fight."
Lin Fei paused for a moment, then volunteered, "If these people are going to the Demon Palace, I hope that Senior Sage can arrange a Great Sage of the Demon Clan as my opponent. Let me deal with one of the Ten Great Sages of the Demon Clan."
"Oh?" Hearing Lin Fei's words, Yuan Tiangang looked at him with disbelief and asked suspiciously, "Young brother, you should think this through. This is a matter of life and death, you can't just talk nonsense!"
No wonder Yuan Tiangang suspected Lin Fei was exaggerating. The Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race were the most powerful beings in the Demon Race. Even human saints like them wouldn't dare say they were guaranteed a victory in a one-on-one situation.
Although Lin Fei was a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, he naturally had some trump cards. However, Yuan Tiangang naturally did not believe that someone who had not even reached the Celestial Realm could be confident in dealing with a Great Sage of the Demon Race.
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang didn't believe he could deal with a demon race Great Sage on his own, Lin Fei continued, "I can sign a pledge: if I can't deal with a demon race Great Sage, I'm willing to bear the consequences."
Seeing that Lin Fei had gone this far, Yuan Tiangang, even though he still had some doubts, didn't say anything more. After all, the other party was a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, and even they, as saints, couldn't afford to be disrespectful. Moreover, judging from Lin Fei's appearance, he wasn't some ignorant fool. Since the other party could make such a boast, he must have some special skills and be confident that he could deal with a demon race Great Saint.
For Yuan Tiangang, if someone could single-handedly defeat a Great Sage of the Demon Race, that would be ideal. Although he still harbored some doubts about Lin Fei's abilities, if Lin Fei could truly handle a Great Sage of the Demon Race alone, it would be a tremendous boon for all humanity.
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "Since you have such confidence, young brother, then I will not say any more. Alright, for the trip to the Demon Palace, I will let you deal with one of the Demon Clan Great Saints by yourself! Each of these Demon Clan Great Saints is a person with extraordinary abilities. Even if we human Saints were to face them alone, we would not be able to guarantee victory. You should be extra careful, young brother!"
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang said to Zilu, who was standing to the side, "Zilu, take the little brother down to rest."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "As for all the privileges and treatment within the academy, they shall be the same as those of the sages."
By saying this, Yuan Tiangang meant that he truly regarded Lin Fei as an existence on par with the saints of the human race.
It should be noted that although Lin Fei is a descendant of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity and holds a noble status, he is still considerably inferior to the saints of the human race.
The reason why Yuan Tiangang regarded Lin Fei as an existence on the same level as the saints was not only because of his noble status, but also because he had the ability to deal with a demon saint alone.
Among the human saints, there are probably very few who are confident that they can deal with a demon saint alone.
Since Lin Fei possesses such abilities, he is fully deserving of being treated as an equal by Yuan Tiangang.
