Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Follow Everything as My Foster Father Arranges

“Aren’t you a Lower Divine Being?” Tian Jiuyou’s face turned somewhat grim.

“Who told you that all those who ascend from the Ancient Realm are Lower Divine Beings?” The chubby man grinned slyly and said, “In the God-making Race, I’m codenamed Red Heart Three, and I’ve long been an Upper Divine Being. I originally sneaked in just to stir up some trouble for the Star God Palace, but I didn’t expect to encounter you, the traitor.”

“It seems, I am quite famous.” Tian Jiuyou gritted his teeth, exerting force to pull his hand out, but found it difficult.

“Among the God-making Race, you are indeed quite famous. In a space series as major as this, becoming a Dharma King is a rarity seen once every millennia in the Ancient Realm. I’ve long heard your name, but since I’ve been in the Celestial Court, I haven’t had the chance to meet you, or else I would have liked to meet you long ago.” The chubby man smiled amiably as he spoke.

“Why would you want to meet me?” Tian Jiuyou asked, exerting force.

“Because I want to find out if your space series laws are stronger, or if my Space-Devouring Power from the Ghost God is more formidable.” As he spoke, the chubby man’s gaze turned sharp, and he revealed teeth as sharp as a devil’s.

His neck and stomach seemed to transform into abyssal mouths that devoured space, continually consuming Tian Jiuyou’s arm.

Tian Jiuyou’s face twisted, and he kicked at the chubby man, but when his leg hit the man’s body, a large mouth appeared, swallowing Tian Jiuyou’s leg too.

Tian Jiuyou was relentless, using his head to smash against the chubby man’s head, which also transformed into an abyssal mouth, swallowing Tian Jiuyou’s entire face.

The suppression from a higher level was overwhelming, and Tian Jiuyou’s abilities were useless; he was about to be completely swallowed by the man’s body.

Boom!

An invisible force, like a bullet, shot through from the chubby man’s left ear and exited from the right ear.

The chubby man’s action of swallowing Tian Jiuyou stalled, and a hand grabbed Tian Jiuyou’s back, pulling him out of the man’s body.

“Foster Father!” Tian Jiuyou exclaimed with joy upon seeing the face of the one who pulled him out.

Lin Shen felt a bit frustrated listening; he didn’t like the nickname “foster father” because historically, those called by such a name didn’t end well.

The abyssal mouths on the chubby man’s body were opening and closing continuously, while the pierced ear turned into two abyssal mouths, eerily opening and closing repeatedly.

The chubby man’s eyes were fixed on Lin Shen, and after observing him for a moment, he said, “Are you his foster father?”

“Correct, he is my godson. If you want to kill me, you must first defeat my foster father.” Tian Jiuyou spoke as if it were rightfully so.

“Quite a bit of skill, but to be my enemy means nothing but the fate of being devoured.” The chubby man’s body suddenly moved.

Though his body was so large, when it moved, it was faster than lightning, leaving trails of afterimages behind.

Lin Shen’s eyes narrowed slightly. To maintain such speed on the Well Star, this Red Heart Three must undoubtedly be an Upper Divine Being.

Red Heart Three evidently couldn’t recognize Lin Shen and assumed he was truly Tian Jiuyou’s foster father, having ascended together with him.

With many afterimages, Red Heart Three charged straight to Lin Shen, reaching out to grab him.

Boom!

Lin Shen spun the sheathed Scrap Sword in his hand and smashed it on Red Heart Three’s head, pounding him directly into the ground, embedding his body into the rock.

To Lin Shen, Red Heart Three’s movements were too slow.

Getting up from the ground, Red Heart Three’s eyes bulged in disbelief at Lin Shen, “Are you an Upper Divine Being? Impossible, the Ancient Realm cannot produce an Upper Divine Being. Who are you?”

“Who told you the Ancient Realm cannot produce Upper Divine Beings?” Lin Shen said calmly.

Red Heart Three’s eyes turned sharp, and it seemed as if light was emanating from them. He glared at Lin Shen like an Evil Ghost, his enormous stomach splitting open into a massive abyssal rift, with purple-black light flickering inside, seemingly wanting to devour everything.

“Regardless of whether you’re from the Ancient Realm or not, whoever you are, since you’ve encountered me, your only fate is death.” Red Heart Three leaned back, his gigantic mouth on his stomach opening to the limit towards Lin Shen, with the purple-black light within seeming to nurture some terrifying energy.

“Foster Father… do you think it’s alright…” Tian Jiuyou could sense how terrifying the power fluctuation within the large mouth was, and it was space power he was familiar with, yet somewhat different.

Slash!

Before the energy inside the abyssal mouth could be unleashed, Lin Shen drew his sword with a fluid motion, sheathing it effortlessly.

The next second, the chubby man’s body was split in two, the energy within the large mouth also halved.

Tian Jiuyou stared blankly at the chubby man, whose body was consumed by the out-of-control Space-Devouring Power, as if eating itself, quickly disappearing.

“All show, just this weak,” Lin Shen had thought the chubby man was formidable but found that even a swing of the Scrap Sword couldn’t be blocked, dying just like that.

Tian Jiuyou looked at Lin Shen with a complex expression. Lin Shen might have found Red Heart Three weak, but he didn’t see him that way.

Space-Devouring Power could be considered a branch of the space series, a space power derived from the Ghost God Faction.

Though Tian Jiuyou wasn’t skilled with this Ghost God power, he knew very well how terrifying it was.

At the same level, all powers and even matter would be devoured by the Space-Devouring Power. Anything that touched the man’s devouring power would be consumed.

For Lin Shen to split the chubby man in two, either his power was special, able to counteract the Space-Devouring Power, or his level and power far exceeded the man’s, crushing him directly.

Either possibility indicated that Lin Shen now possessed a frightening level of power.

“In so little time, Foster Father has grown to this extent.” Though calling him foster father, Tian Jiuyou sounded like a proud son, relieved and comforted.

“Tian Jiuyou, why aren’t you enjoying yourself below? What brings you here?” Lin Shen asked Tian Jiuyou.

“Without Old Thief Tianshu as an opponent, it’s quite dull. I just took the opportunity to come and see what Old Thief Tianshu is doing up here.” Tian Jiuyou answered with a smile.

“What’s he doing? Probably just imprisoned.” Lin Shen hadn’t found out where Tianshu had been taken to.

Tian Jiuyou sighed, “If he dies and it wasn’t by my hand, it would be too pitiful.”

“Why don’t you think about yourself instead? This place is different, spending your remaining years here might not be much better than Tianshu’s fate.” Lin Shen felt at a loss, even at this point, he was still thinking about how to arrange Tianshu’s death.

“With you here, Foster Father, what do I have to worry about? I’ll follow your arrangements.” Tian Jiuyou said with a beaming smile.
