The figure stood beside the copper coffin, stroking the copper coffin with his hand.
"Bai Shu, can you see him?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.
But Bai Shu shook her head, she didn't see anything.
But Lin Chen saw it clearly. This was no longer what he had seen in a trance before, but real. He saw the figure in front of him with his naked eyes!
"Daddy, are you okay?" the little cutie asked weakly.
His body was withered.
"I'm fine, put away your strength!" Lin Chen stopped looking at the figure and quickly helped the little cutie aside, feeling very guilty.
He didn't think he was worthy of the little cutie risking his life like this.
At this moment, the little cutie is extremely weak, her golden body has been completely dried up, her face is extremely pale, and she is no longer as strong or beautiful as before.
Lin Chen carefully put it down and managed to operate it. Using miraculous power and the only divine ring that could break the limit of sixteen, he transferred the power into the little cutie's body.
Keep the little cutie alive.
The little cute body slowly glowed, and the golden body gradually began to shrink, eventually turning into the size of a child.
He consumed too much this time, and his instinct caused him to abandon his strong body and degenerate into a larvae, but it seemed that his life was saved.
"Thank you!" Lin Chen said.
If there was no cutie this time, he might really not be able to hold on, and even if "immortality" appears later, he would not be able to reverse the situation.
Is this destiny?
Or is it his luck?
Lin Chen took a deep breath, dragged his remaining body, and tried his best to maintain his body and soul that were about to collapse, and walked towards the figure.
He wants to know everything!
Perhaps the figure in front of him can give him the answer.
"Can we communicate? Are you really here, or are you just a projection of the past?" Lin Chen asked cautiously.
"In other words, who are you?"
The figure caressed the copper coffin gently and walked around the copper coffin for a few steps until he came to the other side of the copper coffin, where he faced Lin Chen.
"This coffin is necessary, otherwise even if the twelve copper coffins have completed their journey, the final result will not change," the figure said.
The sound was directly transmitted into Lin Chen's soul sea.
His voice was not cold, it was very different from his temperament.
"You mean, I must die, right?" Lin Chen clenched his fists.
"It doesn't have to be you, it's the host, it's the host that can get to this point, but it's just you who came here in the end," the figure said.
His meaning was very clear, he was not targeting Lin Chen, he was targeting the host, but now, this host is Lin Chen.
There is a subtle difference here, Lin Chen naturally understands it, but if there is any difference, he is the one who is in a dead end now, so he will naturally be angry!
"I don't understand," Lin Chen gritted his teeth, "His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor of Earth, they, they don't want me to die here, why you...why you, you must kill me!"
Lin Chen was a little excited. He vaguely guessed who the person in front of him was. His mood was complicated and difficult to accept.
"Because they are standing in the distant past, even if they can see the future, they cannot see everything in the future. They cannot predict everything."
"We can deceive God, but God can also deceive people. Looking back at the source of the long river of time, how much can we see clearly? After all, they have never experienced what I have experienced."
"Of course, I don't deny that even though they know everything, they are still unwilling to sacrifice others. I think they have such character and perseverance, but I am different."
Lin Chen was silent.
He knew what the figure was saying. This was the way to make a choice. If you gain something, you must give something up.
Lin Chen did not doubt that when the time came, the other party could also sacrifice himself.
In fact, he had already sacrificed himself.
"You, are you deceased?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps, my appearance is actually a continuation of despair. What you think of me is not actually alive," the figure whispered.
Lin Chen couldn't understand.
"You can tell me everything, maybe, maybe I can..." Lin Chen said excitedly.
"No, what I did is just what I think is right, but it does not mean that it is right. Maybe your choice, their choice, is the right thing."
"Since you have resisted my choice, then keep going."
Lin Chen opened his mouth. He had too many doubts, but the figure was unwilling to answer.
The figure looked at Lin Chen and suddenly smiled, "It's not that you are not qualified to know, it's just that you can't say it again. If you say it again, you won't be able to deceive the sky!"
"But you will eventually know everything, because all this will continue."
Lin Chen's expression changed.
He has not died, so how can this copper coffin continue?
"If you don't want to die, then let me do it. The copper coffin has absorbed some of its characteristics just now, probably because the seal has loosened. The effect is better than expected," the figure said calmly.
"And with this part, plus me at this moment, maybe it's enough."
"You..." Lin Chen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
A trade-off?
If he doesn't want to die, someone else will have to die. How helpless.
"You don't have to blame yourself. I've already said it. I just think what I did is right, but no one can know whether it is really right or not," the figure said calmly.
"They don't want you to die. Apart from not wanting to forcibly sacrifice innocent people, there must be other reasons."
Lin Chen was silent, not knowing what to say.
What makes him even more helpless is that the figure cannot tell him what the purpose of all this is. After all, these copper coffins are just a way, what is the purpose?
What was the purpose of setting up such a situation that lasted for millions of years?
"Does someone need to sacrifice?" Lin Chen whispered.
"Sacrifice is necessary," the figure said indifferently, "Of course, you can also accuse this forced sacrifice."
"..."
"You, since you can replace me, why do you have to kill me?" Lin Chen was puzzled.
From his understanding, this person is definitely not the kind of person who sacrifices others.
"Everyone has something to do. Since I have thrown myself into the copper coffin, what I should do can only be done by others. Although others may not be able to do it, I have no choice now."
, the figure whispered.
After that, he said no more and jumped into the copper coffin.
Immediately afterwards, the copper coffin suddenly closed, and the word "death" condensed with original ghost patterns fell on the coffin lid. The runes on the entire coffin suddenly flashed and completely merged into one, seamlessly fitting together.
The next moment, the copper coffin lifted into the air under the support of the magma. The surrounding space cracked open inch by inch, and a gate of time and space appeared. The copper coffin flashed away and disappeared.
The thirteenth copper coffin now embarks on its journey.
Lin Chen looked at it, stunned.
He didn't know where the copper coffin would go or what it would do, but at this moment, he was surviving the disaster.
