Chapter 664 Greatest Rewards
After a moment of silence, the room suddenly lit up to reveal the woman in the blue dress.
But even after the room lit up, she just looked at Lin Fan with a complicated look without saying a thing.
Lin Fan looked back at her and just waited for her to speak first.
After all, even if he were to speak, there wouldn't be much for him to say.
After a long period of silence, the woman in the blue dress finally gave a sigh, but still she didn't say anything. She just shook her head before giving another sigh, as if she was worrying about something.
But then she suddenly realized something and turned back to Lin Fan to say, "So that was the answer that you came up with?"
Lin Fan felt that there was something strange with her tone, but he still said, "Yes, that was my answer."
The woman in the blue dress gave another pause before saying, "Why did you think that sacrificing yourself was the right choice?"
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.
He had felt that his choice had been correct, but based on the tone that the woman in the blue dress had, it seemed like she thought otherwise.
Lin Fan didn't answer right away and after a bit of thought, he said, "Sacrificing yourself for the good of the universe, isn't that an honourable thing to do?"
The woman in the blue dress didn't respond, instead she asked, "But what about your revenge? Was that necessary…"
But before she could finish, her body suddenly jolted. She looked around herself as if she had suddenly noticed something, but then she revealed a serious look before looking down to mutter something to herself.
After all of that, she looked up and said, "Nothing, forget what I just said."
Lin Fan was very confused by all of this, but he chose not to ask anything. After all, even if he were to ask anything, it was very unlikely that she would even answer his question.
So he just stayed silent, waiting for her to say something.
The woman in the blue dress took a moment to gather herself before saying, "You have passed this trial, so now it's time for you to get your reward."
With a wave of her hand, there was a golden light that suddenly appeared.
This ball of light became stronger and stronger until there was a pen that had suddenly formed inside of it.
This pen seemed like an outline at first, but as the light became stronger and stronger, the pen became more and more real. It kept becoming more and more opaque until there was a golden pen that was floating inside the golden ball of light.
Once this golden pen had formed, the woman in the blue dress suddenly flicked her hand and the golden pen flew out.
It burst right through the golden ball of light and flew out at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's eyes couldn't keep up with it, but he raised his hands out of instinct. It was just that he wasn't able to stop it.
When his hand came up, it touched the pen that had stopped a single inch away from his chest. The tip of the pen was pointed right at his heart.
Lin Fan looked down at it and knitted his brows, but he didn't take a single step back.
Lin Dan then looked back up at the woman in the blue dress to ask, "What-"
But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a prick on his chest.
When he looked down again, the pen's tip had already entered his chest and was still moving forward.
It was like nothing could stop it as it continued moving forward.
Lin Fan's brows knit even deeper as he suddenly roared, "What are you-"
But once again, before he was able to finish his words, there was another change with the golden pen.
After entering about a few centimeters into his chest, the golden pen suddenly began glowing again. The glowing grew in intensity until the golden pen suddenly exploded into balls of golden light.
These balls of golden light floated there for a bit before suddenly entering his body.
When those golden balls of light entered his body, there was a warm current that flowed through his chest.
For some reason, he felt that it was a familiar feeling…Like he had experienced this somewhere before…
Then it hit him, it was the golden energy that the golden man controlled!
He had felt it when the golden man had sent him to the other universe. This was the golden energy that had surrounded him when he had been transported.
But for some reason, that wasn't the only reason why it felt familiar.
It was only when the warm current reached his dantian that Lin Fan realized what the destination of the warm current was.
It was the golden suns in his dantian.
That was the other reason why it had felt so familiar.
The energy that was currently flowing through him was the energy that the golden suns in his dantian released.
But then again, it was also the golden energy that he received from the ruins that he had explored during the Hunters Exam…
As all of these things came into his mind, the conclusion that Lin Fan drew became more and more confusing.
Just how was this all related?
At the very least, he knew that the golden pen must be related to the golden man from ancient times, the one that led the gods.
Did that also mean that the golden man was the one that was behind the system that had brought him here?
After the golden current reached the suns in his dantian, it flowed into the center of the suns before taking form as the pen that he had seen before.
The pen just floated there inside of one of the suns in his dantian. It didn't do anything, it was almost as if it was laying dormant inside of the sun.
However, when Lin Fan tried using the golden energy from the sun, he found that it was much stronger compared to before.
Lin Fan knew that this wasn't the only function of the golden pen, it must have more functions to it, but he wasn't able to use them since he wasn't strong enough. After all, it was clear that this pen was powerful just based on the fact that it was able to pierce right through his skin without any resistance.
Lin Fan's body was stronger than his cultivation, but the pen had pushed right through his defenses like they were nothing.
It must mean that there was a great power hidden inside of the pen.
Without waiting for Lin Fan to finish gathering his thoughts, the woman in the blue dress suddenly raised her hand and said, "It's time to send you off on your way now that you've received your reward."
Lin Fan was about to say something, but before he could even say a thing, there was a white light that flashed in front of his eyes.
After that flash of white light, Lin Fan disappeared from where he had been standing.
There was only silence left in this white room as the woman in the blue dress stared at where Lin Fan had been standing with a complicated look.
After a long time, there were holes that suddenly opened up in the walls of this room. After the holes formed, there were cloaked figures that walked out and surrounded the woman in the blue dress.
They all just stood there as if waiting for something.
There were four more holes that suddenly opened in the four different walls and four more cloaked figures came out.
The cloaked figures that surrounded the woman in the blue dress suddenly parted, creating a path for the four of them to reach her.
All four of them walked through the other cloaked figures until they were standing around the woman in the blue dress.
One of them suddenly asked, "What was the lord's decision?"
The woman in the blue dress shook her head and said, "He didn't make one in the end, he just said that he knew what he was doing."
One of the other cloaked figures couldn't help saying, "But there's not much time left! If this time doesn't work, then…"
Before they could finish, the other cloaked figures all glared at the one who spoke.
The cloaked figure that had spoken shrunk their head back and said, "It's not like I'm wrong, you all know this."
The other cloaked figures continued glaring at this cloaked figure for a bit before they all gave sighs. Then they turned back to the woman in the blue dress and waited for her to speak.
The woman in the blue dress however ignored all of this as she continued staring at where Lin Fan had been standing.
Finally one of the four cloaked figures couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Big sister, are we really not going to do anything? If we don't, who knows what will happen."
The woman in the blue dress suddenly came back to her senses after hearing this and she turned to glare at the one who spoke as she asked, "Are you showing distrust in the lord?"
The figure that received this glare almost crumpled under her pressure as they quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."
It was at this time that there was a voice that came from behind the woman in the blue dress, "There's no need to scare them like this."
The woman in the blue dress didn't turn around at all, she just raised her head and gave a soft snort as she closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she turned around to look at the muscular man and said, "All we have to do is follow the lord's will."
The muscular man didn't respond to this and looked up at the ceiling. After a long time, he said with a sigh, "The lord's will…"
