The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3547 I admire your dream.

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart suddenly stopped beating.

That's some serious eye work.

He saw through all of her secrets, and even discovered the wonders of the Linglong Pagoda.

Yes, the Linglong Tower is his biggest trump card!

The Linglong Pagoda is indestructible and possesses extremely formidable defensive capabilities. Moreover, it is a self-contained world within, capable of containing all things while also blocking all barriers. At this very moment, there are two saints hiding inside.

Lin Chen answered frankly, "This tower is my greatest opportunity for cultivation. Firstly, it has strong defensive capabilities, and secondly, it has space inside that can accommodate life forms and allow them to live freely. There are some people I rescued before who have followed me to the Celestial God Realm by chance. However, because we are of a different race, we are not accepted by the mainstream of the Celestial God Realm, so they have no choice but to stay in the tower."

Chen Zu smiled slightly: "So, it wasn't you who broke the formation before, but the group of people living in the tower. They even crafted a magical artifact to inscribe the formation for you..."

Lin Chen admitted helplessly, "Senior has keen insight. Nothing can be hidden from you. I also have some knowledge of formations, but I am more proficient in wood-attribute formations. I cannot decipher the formations left by you, so I can only ask the formation experts in the tower for help."

Lin Chen was quite nervous, as this was the first time he had completely revealed his trump card.

There was no other way; the other party had already gone this far, so denying it wouldn't make a difference. It was better to just admit it openly, and on that basis, still be able to conceal some information by being nine parts false and one part true.

Of course, Chen Zu might not care about the information he had hidden.

If he really wanted to kill me, even if the Enchantress Lord in the Linglong Tower and Duanmu Wen joined forces, they might not be able to stop me.

Chen Zu smiled and said, "You haven't shown your full strength in the previous battles. Those two attacks you made to break through their blockade and enter the Heavenly God Arena were probably the true manifestation of your strength. You almost killed a decent Quasi-Saint in one move. Even the Quasi-Saint prodigies of the Heavenly God Clan in the Heavenly God Realm might not be able to match your strength."

Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the other party's attitude remained warm.

He didn't expect the other party to favor him; he only hoped that the other party would treat him equally with the other Celestial explorers.

Lin Chen replied modestly, "Senior, you flatter me. In the Celestial Realm, even though my strength is among the best of the Quasi-Saints, I am still looked down upon everywhere because of my alien race. I have to rely on that friend outside and pretend to be his slave in order to travel safely in the Celestial Realm."

Chen Zu stared at Lin Chen: "You were able to leave your world and risk coming to the Celestial Realm. That shows great courage and wisdom. But I have a question for you. What is your purpose in coming to the Celestial Realm? To become a saint?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "That is the goal now, and also the first step."

Chen Zu smiled and said, "Since you have already collected five portions of the Great Dao Spirit, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements, it means that your breakthrough to sainthood is a sure thing. Yet you still risk great danger to enter this place, wanting to explore it and obtain my inheritance. You have big ambitions."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "My ultimate goal is to become a god, or even a god who surpasses other gods."

Chen Zu laughed heartily: "What, do you want to be the master of the universe?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't have that idea. I want to become a god. What I want is the power of a god, not the authority of a god. I have no intention of ruling anyone, but I also don't want to be ruled by anyone. I just want to be in charge of my own life and not let anyone take my life as they please."

"As for wanting to surpass the other gods, that refers to strength. After all, all seventeen gods in the Celestial Realm are of the Celestial Race. If I were to become a god, I would be an anomaly among them. I think those gods probably wouldn't tolerate my existence as an anomaly. They might even join forces to deal with me, completely suppress me, and kill me." "If I don't want to die, I have to become stronger, strong enough that even the gods would have to fear and be wary of me. Only then can I control myself and not be bound by their fate."

Chen Zu stared at Lin Chen and suddenly burst into laughter.

"What did I just hear? A foreign race actually wants to seize the divine status of a god, become the new god, and even want to be above all the gods. Kid, you really have a lot of courage."

Lin Chen's eyes were calm, without fear: "More than a hundred years ago, I was just an ordinary person, living a plain and uneventful life until my early twenties. At that time, I could never have imagined that more than a hundred years later, I would have such strength, be able to travel through the universe, see different races of life, and have such a splendid journey."

"Whether I can achieve it or not is my ability; whether I dare to dream about it is my nature. Since I was able to rise from an ordinary person to where I am today in just over a hundred years, it doesn't seem like I'm violating any heavenly rules by fantasizing about becoming a god..."

Chen Zu stared at Lin Chen with great interest: "You're only a little over a hundred years old, haha, that's really young."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I am indeed considered young among cultivators. I can only say that cultivation has given me unlimited possibilities."

Chen Zu sized up Lin Chen a few times: "There are many explorers who have come here, and quite a few of them are very strong and intelligent, but you are the most special one among them, and not just because of your alien identity."

Lin Chen felt slightly nervous. He roughly understood that after exchanging so much with Chen Zu, the final conclusion about him was about to be reached.

Lin Chen bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, senior."

Chen Zu waved his hand: "Go through the challenge and let me see where your limits are. As long as you can pass the Heavenly God Arena, you will be qualified to receive my inheritance just like everyone else. Although I am a member of the Heavenly God Clan, I do not care about race, only ability."

Lin Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Very good!
I've finally weathered the crisis of my own identity.

Ever since discovering that Chen Zu was still alive, Lin Chen had been worried about this matter, but the other party would blindly deny him because he was a different race.

Being kicked out or eliminated is the least of Lin Chen's worries; he's more concerned that the other party might conveniently eliminate him.

Lin Chen had seen and experienced far too much of the strong viewing the weak as ants.

After saying all that, I finally gained the approval of Ancestor Chen.

Although Chen Zu did not show any special treatment towards him, Lin Chen was already very satisfied that he was treated equally.

Let's take on the challenge!
I'll show you my limits!

Right now, I don't even know where my limits are!
Chen Zu waved his hand, and his figure suddenly disappeared, but his words still lingered in the air.

"I admire your dream. Keep going, I'll be waiting for you to stand in front of me again!"
