Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Garr frowned slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

The golden light surrounding him trembled slightly, as if suppressing some kind of impatience.

"Your vision is too shallow." Gal's tone was calm to the point of indifference. "The universe's resources are finite, and the law of survival is the survival of the fittest. The strong should enjoy everything. As for the natural disaster you mentioned, it was not caused by my race."

Lin Chen was taken aback, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

He stared intently at Gar, pressing him urgently, "Then what did you mean when you said 'it wasn't entirely your doing'? If it wasn't your people, then who was it?"

Garr stood with his hands behind his back, Lin Chen's figure reflected in his golden pupils, as if he were looking at a child who was obsessed with the truth but was destined to be disappointed.

"In this matter, our clan was merely going with the flow."

Going with the flow. These four words were like a cold key, inserted into the door that had always been tightly locked in Lin Chen's heart.

He once believed that the Protoss were the mastermind behind everything and the root of the apocalypse.

But now, Garr casually tells him that the Protoss are just hitchhikers.

"What exactly do you mean?" Lin Chen's voice deepened, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

Garl tilted his head slightly, his long, silvery-white hair floating silently in the void.

A faint smile appeared on his unreal, handsome face.

"You really want to know?"

Lin Chen didn't say anything, he just stared blankly at the other person.

But his gaze spoke volumes for him; that almost burning, uncontrollable longing, that torment of being suspended in mid-air by the truth for five whole years, was all written in those eyes.

Gal met his gaze silently for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Join the gods, or defeat me. Two conditions. Fulfill either one, and I'll tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen did not hesitate at all.

A shockwave erupted from the void beneath his feet, and he transformed into a purple lightning bolt, hurtling straight at Gar.

Dark red lightning power condensed wildly on his fist, emitting a low rumble, like the roar of some ancient ferocious beast.

A cold glint flashed in Garr's eyes, and the golden light around him suddenly solidified, transforming into a golden light shield in front of him.

The power of lightning collided with the light shield, producing a piercing buzz, and a purple ripple exploded in the void.

"You don't know what's good for you!" Gar shouted coldly, and the light shield instantly shattered, turning into countless rays of light. Each ray of light was like a sharp blade, shooting towards Lin Chen from all directions.

Lin Chen dared not take the attack head-on. He activated his Empty Step technique, his figure flashing continuously in the void. Golden fragments flew past the hem of his clothes, leaving scorching streaks of light in the darkness behind him.

Garr had already moved closer.

His speed was unbelievably fast, no less than Lin Chen who used the laws of space. He appeared behind him almost in the blink of an eye, and struck out with a palm, the golden divine power crashing down like a giant hammer.

Lin Chen didn't have time to turn around, he could only barely turn his body to the side. The wind from the palm brushed past his shoulder, and his clothes were instantly torn open, leaving a charred burn mark on his shoulder.

He grunted and used the force of the palm strike to roll to the side, while simultaneously unleashing a burst of lightning blood power with his backhand.

Dark red lightning exploded in the air, forcing Gar to take a half step back.

The two distanced themselves again, leaving only heavy breathing and lingering energy ripples in the void.

Lin Chen licked his chapped lips, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish; instead, it burned even brighter.

He knew he couldn't beat Garr right now; Garr's strength, experience, and combat skills were all superior to his.

But in order to win the battle, and for the answer to the truth about the apocalypse that Garr had hidden in his mouth, he had to persevere.

He took a deep breath, and the Time Tempering Technique within his body began to operate wildly.

The Time Prison unfolded silently, covering the void within a radius of a thousand meters.

The energy of the empty step gathered under his feet, and the power of lightning blood surged like a tide in his hands.

Lin Chen prepared for another attack.

Gar seemed to have noticed the changes in Lin Chen as well. This man was learning and improving every minute and every second, and the determination in his eyes was something he had never seen in any of the countless races.

His golden eyes narrowed slightly, and the light around him intensified, making him resemble a burning sun that pushed back the surrounding darkness.

"Mortal, your rapid progress truly surprises me." Gal's voice suddenly became somewhat low.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen could no longer hold back and shouted, "Shut up! What are you pretending to be? We're all just ninth-tier cultivators."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared in front of Gar and threw a punch.

Gar was stunned by Lin Chen's words. He was used to looking down on other races, and he had never been insulted with such vulgar language before.

Before he could react, Lin Chen's fist had already slammed into his chest, sending him flying backward.

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw that he did not dodge, and then seemed to be thinking about something.

So this god-race vanguard, used to being high and mighty, has never been insulted like this before? That's perfect.

"You idiot, you're putting on makeup before you come to fight, like a woman..." Lin Chen kept talking, but his figure had already rushed out again.

These vulgar, disrespectful, and street-smart words, like knives, pierced Gard's heart, a door that had never been so desecrated.

He had lived for countless ages, conquered countless civilizations, and witnessed countless languages, countless civilizations, and countless ways of worshipping or desperately cursing him. But never... never before had a mortal cursed him in such a vulgar and blunt way.

It's like one street thug cursing another.

This enraged him. Uncontrollable fury erupted from his golden eyes, and the golden light around him surged violently, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Mortal, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen's fist was already upon him.

Having lost the initiative, Gar hurriedly raised his hand to block. The golden light shield collided with the power of lightning blood, bursting out with a dazzling halo.

Lin Chen's punch pierced through the light shield, causing Gal's arm to go numb.

Before he could adjust his posture, Lin Chen's second punch grazed the edge of the light shield and headed straight for his face.

Garr was forced to retreat, dodging repeatedly.

Lin Chen clung to him like a leech, punching and kicking relentlessly, fighting with a complete recklessness.

"What? You're not convinced?" Lin Chen cursed as he punched, "Aren't you a god? Is this all the gods are capable of?"

Gar gritted his teeth, and his golden light shield coalesced once more, taking Lin Chen's punch head-on. Both of them were knocked back several steps.

"You...!" Garr's voice finally carried obvious anger.

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Lin Chen pounced on him again before he could speak. "Ninth rank is ninth rank, stop acting like a big shot! 'Mortal, your progress is astonishing,' how disgusting!"

Garr's face twisted slightly.

He never imagined that one day he would be chased and cursed by a "native".

What angered him even more was that although this native was not as strong as him, his reckless ruthlessness and his incessant foul mouth actually made him feel a little embarrassed.

"I'm going to kill you!" Garr shouted coldly, and the golden light around him transformed into countless sharp blades of light, slashing down on Lin Chen with overwhelming force.
