The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3451 Was I Disliked?

Lin Chen acknowledged the advantages of the Celestial Race.

Racial advantage is undeniable.

At this point, Lin Chen followed up by asking, "The Celestial Race's racial advantages are undeniable; otherwise, how could they have become the rulers of the universe?"

Lin Chen first praised the other party before asking the question he really wanted to ask: "The Celestial God Clan possesses the Spirit of the Great Dao and can absorb it to break through to become a Saint. So I want to ask, what about other races besides the Celestial God Clan? If they have the opportunity to obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao, can they also smoothly become Saints like the Celestial God Clan?"

"I've heard that after you become saints, you become followers of the gods. Are there any differences between other races who become saints and the saints of the gods in terms of their followers?"

Although Lin Chen could ask Ning Hesheng about this privately, since things had already come to this point, it would be more authentic for Lin Chen to ask a few more questions, taking advantage of their sense of superiority, which would perfectly fit the image of a clueless commoner from the lower realm.

The man glanced at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

You're asking about becoming a saint?
If you have a single-attribute spiritual root, you might get lucky one day and succeed. But you have a five-element spiritual root, so you need five portions of the Great Dao Spirit to advance to sainthood.

Five servings!

You're dreaming!

You are a slave. No matter how valuable you are, you can never be more valuable than five saints. Therefore, you will never be able to obtain five portions of the Great Dao Spirit in your entire life!
Although he was inwardly mocking Lin Chen's unrealistic ideas, he still answered Lin Chen's question.

"In the matter of becoming a saint, the Celestial Race is no different from other races. As long as they can absorb the spirit of the Great Dao, it means that they can become saints, and the result after becoming saints is the same."

"As for the believers you mentioned, the gods don't really care. Even if it's a divine descent technique, even if it's not performed by a saint of the gods, the result will be the same. Of course, there will be some special cases. For example, if you do something that displeases the gods, then performing a divine descent technique might have a different result."

Did it displease the gods?

Is there still a chance for dissatisfaction?

They've already angered the gods, so why not just destroy them without a second thought?
Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. His biggest worry was that after becoming a saint, he would be inferior to others and subject to their control in every aspect because of the issue of race. That would be troublesome.

"There's another question. If a person with five elemental spiritual roots needs five portions of the Great Dao's spirit to become a saint, then after becoming a saint, which god would they be considered a follower of?"

Disciple B replied, "All five are counted."

After a pause, before Lin Chen could ask further, he continued, "In general, the five elements of spiritual roots, the five gods of metal, wood, water, fire and earth are all considered god masters, and the saints of the five elements of spiritual roots are considered believers of the five elements gods. However, precisely because of this, they often incur the disdain of the gods."

"For example, there is a descendant of a celestial being who has the five elements spiritual root. Under the care of the celestial being, he naturally cultivates top-level techniques and consumes top-level resources, eventually becoming a saint. However, when he fights with others, I will only use the Divine Descent Technique to summon the celestial elder in his family, and will not summon other celestial beings."

Lin Chen roughly understood, and frowned as he asked, "Is it because other gods would look down on him?"

"Yes."

Disciple B sneered, "You're a descendant of another god, so you must be closest to him. If you're in trouble, go to your master. What's the point of going to another god? How can you help? You're still someone else's family anyway..."

Lin Chen finally understood: "This Five Elements Spiritual Root Saint only seeks out his family elders because he has celestial gods in his family, and not others. But an ordinary Five Elements Spiritual Root Saint might be disliked by all the celestial gods, causing him to be ignored by everyone. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

Disciple B looked at Lin Chen with sympathy: "The Five Elements Spiritual Root is a very powerful spiritual root in terms of its individual characteristics, but in reality, it is very difficult to cultivate and very difficult to succeed. You should stop thinking about such things and just stay in our sect."

Lin Chen remained silent, his expression grave, seemingly taken aback by the words. He genuinely hadn't expected such a question to arise.

The logic is actually quite easy to understand: can one person planting a tree be the same as five people planting a tree?

If I plant a tree, whether I plant it well or poorly, the tree is still mine. The more effort I put into it, the stronger it will grow.

It belongs to me alone.

But if five people plant a tree, who will the tree ultimately belong to?

All five people can water and fertilize the tree, but when they think that once the tree grows up, it may not belong to them and could very well belong to someone else, why should they take good care of it?

Let whoever wants to take care of them do so.

Why waste energy on a tree that may not even belong to you when you have other trees to plant?
This is the truth.

The mockery in everyone's eyes grew stronger as they looked at Lin Chen's sullen expression.

Be a good slave.

Thinking about this and that, dreaming!

The giant ship flew along, passing through one teleportation portal after another.

Lin Chen had seen teleportation portals before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so magnificent and imposing.

Each portal was thousands of meters high and incredibly wide, allowing even the colossal ships, as large as mountains, to pass through with ease.

"These portals look huge. If they break down and need to be repaired, wouldn't it take a lot of effort?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "No one dares to destroy the portal unless they're tired of living."

Lin Chen looked at Ning Hesheng in surprise: "Why?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "There are divine marks on the teleportation portals. Once they are destroyed, the divine marks will be activated, and the gods will sense it instantly and even descend instantly."

"The Celestial Realm is so vast that without these teleportation gates, it would become a scattered mess, unable to communicate normally. Therefore, the gods established this rule: whoever dares to destroy a teleportation gate will die."

Lin Chen was astonished, never expecting that the Celestial Realm would have such a rule.

Thinking about it, it makes some sense. These teleportation portals connect the vast Celestial Realm, increasing circulation and communication between different regions, which will make the Celestial Realm more prosperous and better developed.

The saying "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is exactly what this means, isn't it?

Lin Chen's thoughts suddenly wandered: "What if a conflict breaks out between the sages and they start fighting? Wouldn't that destroy the world?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "Even the gods have rules. If a battle between sages affects the world and harms the innocent, there will be a price to pay. So if a fight is to be fought, it must take place either in a remote place or in the outer heavens..."

Lin Chen's perspective on the problem was unconventional: "What if I can't win, but I don't want to admit defeat, so I just run towards where there are lots of people?"
