“How did you find out about this place?”

Lin En had to figure this out.

After all, the system had said that no one in this world could see through this place.

If this guy in front of him was sent by a powerful existence, he would have to make other plans.

He did not mind killing the other party right away.

The intense pressure instantly drowned Sun Yuan’s entire body.

He felt that he might turn into ashes if he gave the wrong answer.

At the same time, he also felt that he had no secrets in front of Lin En.

Without any hesitation, he quickly explained how he had noticed the difference in Lin En when he was in the arena and how he got here.

Lin En was surprised but did not show any changes in his emotion.

“This monkey’s amazing. He can speculate my pulse, heartbeat, and determine whether I’m speaking the truth just by the tone of my voice, my attitude, and the ease when I fought.”

“It does not belong to magic. It may even be beyond the system’s capabilities.”

“After all, the system can prevent all the experts in heaven from seeing through it.”

“However, this meticulous ability can’t be defended against.”

‘The system can’t defend against speculations. Without relying on any supernatural power or magic power, what could the system do if some of the big shots in heaven believe without reason that this is the foundation of the mage god training hall?’

“What are you here for?”

When he saw the white-furred monkey in front of him was so scared that his legs were trembling and his face was red, Lin En pointed at the chair beside him and gestured for him to come over and sit.

“Master Mage God, I’m here to become your apprentice. Those people outside are all idiots. I believe that the name Lin En on the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth is real.”

“Furthermore, I believe that Master Lin En’s even more powerful than the one on the Golden Board.”

Sun Yuan immediately bowed three times.

“System, can you determine everything about this monkey?”

Lin En asked the system in his mind.

“Yes, spend 100 reputation points, and you can see through this monkey.”

Then a bottle of potion appeared in front of Lin En.

Lin En took the potion and performed a little magic. The bottle exploded, and rainbow-like dews appeared in the air and fell on Sun Yuan’s body.

It was all right when he had not seen through him. However, Lin En was shocked as soon as he did so.

“What the f*ck? What is the Long-Armed Ape Monkey from Journey To The West doing here?”

“And he even became a monkey with no childhood memories. Could this monkey have also transmigrated, System?”

“That’s hard to say. There are countless parallel worlds and many mystical powers besides the system.”

“Master Mage God, please let me be your apprentice.”

Sun Yuan kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.

‘Take in an apprentice?’

“I don’t take apprentices. Get Out.”

Lin En was not interested in that at the moment.

Even if this monkey was extremely special, was living alone not better?

Why bother going to the trouble? He could consider it if it was a peerless beauty who came to him voluntarily.

Of course, with his ability, it was more than enough to teach a monkey.

Furthermore, with the system around, he could probably even teach Holy King.

“Master Mage God, please take me as an apprentice. I was only a beast in the forest. I didn’t develop any intelligence after I was born. I only gained human intelligence after eating a spiritual fruit.”

“I was extremely miserable during the hundreds of years I wander the world. I was ostracized by the orthodox demon race and had to go into hiding. It’s very tiring.”

“After wandering around the human world, I realized humans hold the greatest potential in this world.”

“Those who said that humans lived in the cracks between heaven and earth are only afraid of the great potential the humans have.”

The humans’ mage god outside would be shocked if they heard Sun Yuan’s insights. Humans had a glorious past.

However, that glorious past was buried in history.

Nonetheless, there were still some books on the history of magic that had traces of it.

Even humans did not believe it. They thought that it was just a legend.

However, the monkey in front of them found out about the truth.

Sun Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Master Mage God, I’ve done nothing over the hundreds of years. All I want is to find a top master. I’ll carry forward my master’s name as I walk the earth. I can pay any price for this, even if it’s my soul.”

He was about to offer a wisp of his soul as he spoke.

Once this soul was absorbed into someone’s body, any living being could only be loyal to them for their entire life. There would be no turning back.

You could see how determined Sun Yuan was to seek greater power.

He needed this opportunity more than anyone else.

“I don’t want to repeat what I’ve said.”Lin En waved his hand.

“Master Mage God, if you think I’m dull and uncivilized, I only beg for you to take me in. I’m willing to be a slave.”

Sun Yuan took a step back to advance and put himself in the humblest position.

Even if he could not be his apprentice, being the slave of a mighty figure could be considered as having a backer and good fortune.

Lin En said nothing.

He only looked at him with a calm expression.

Seeing that Lin En did not speak, he kowtowed again.

Bang bang bang…

The ground shook as he kowtowed. His forehead had reddened, and there were even signs of blood.

“Get up.”

Lin En performed a little wind magic, and Sun Yuan could not help standing up.

“Master Mage God…”

Sun Yuan was extremely disappointed. He had been hunted down for years.

He wanted to find a backer. He wanted to learn real magic.

However, a mage was a noble existence everywhere. How could a monkey with no identity, status, and clear background like him learn it?

He sighed, feeling extremely disappointed.

“Master Mage God, sorry for disturbing you.”

He bowed to Lin En again and turned to walk toward the door.

Although he was walking toward the door, his footsteps seemed to slow down, and he took a long time to take one step.

‘Master Mage God, give me a chance. Tell me to stop.’

He kept shouting in his heart. He did not want to give up this opportunity.

Lin En only wanted to laugh at this.

‘Isn’t this a child’s trick?’

‘I’m crying. I’m crying. Why won’t you come and coax me?’

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

He slowly took 20 steps to the door.

Sun Yuan lifted his foot and stopped in mid-air. His foot was above the threshold.

However, he could not make up his mind to step out.

“Wait…”

Sun Yuan was overjoyed. He stopped walking and turned around immediately.

“The secret manual for magic cultivation you want… three days later…”

Just as he said this, Lin En suddenly felt something strange with his body and stopped.

Sun Yuan, who did not have much hope, was ecstatic. He quickly ran to Lin En and knelt on the ground, ready to listen to what Lin En had to say next.

However, Lin En suddenly stopped talking, and Sun Yuan was a little anxious.

He was as uncomfortable as he was vomiting blood.

Of course, Lin En was not bored enough to make things difficult for a monkey.

Even when Sun Yuan could not help it and was about to ask, he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.

He only saw Lin En’s entire body emitting a divine light as he slowly floated up into the sky. A purple aura covered thirty thousand miles in the air.

All the magical energy in the world gathered together to form one gray magical energy.

Every single strand of magical energy gave Sun Yuan the feeling that it was enough to destroy the world.

The divine chain of order fell, making a clattering sound.

It was the most fundamental power of magic, the shackles of the most fundamental power of the world.

The long river of time and space appeared out of thin air, protecting Lin En’s back… and a five-colored light appeared.

Sun Yuan watched until his scalp went numb. His heart trembled, and he was stunned on the spot.

“Is… Is… Is this Master Mage God’s true level? He has most likely surpassed the Holy King of Heaven. In the entire Magic World, perhaps only the Creator can be on par with him.”

“What kind of terrifying power is this?”

Over the hundreds of years, he had traveled the world and seen the battle between the Beamons’ and Titans’ kings. It was also strong enough to destroy the world.

However, compared to what Lin En looked like right now, it was the difference between an ant and an elephant.

That terror came from the impact of the soul.

He was born with an intelligent eye to see through illusions. However, so what if he could see through illusions?

It was too terrifying and too great.

Lin En’s aura continued to rise as if there was no end. The galaxy and the sky appeared behind him.

His golden hair danced in the air, and his white robe fluttered. His eyes were like stars as if the Creator had descended to the mortal world.

In the past, present, and future, he was invincible.

That imposing aura, coupled with such a scene, he was practically the ruler of all worlds.

“Well… Well… Master Mage God, you’ll surpass the heavens and the Creator who created life. Even the galaxy’s under your feet, what else can you not do?”

No powerful words could describe Lin en’s current state.

Not long after, the light on Lin En’s body dissipated, and the illusion slowly disappeared.

However, Sun Yuan knew that everything was real, and it was not as simple as an illusion.

He was enlightened when he reacted. He had to suck up to him. Even if he were to be an ant in his courtyard, it would be a supreme honor.

He jogged to Lin En’s table, picked up a bottle, and poured a glass of wine.

The faint smell of the wine made his footsteps a little unsteady.

“Gosh, what wine is this? It makes me dizzy just by smelling it.”

“The only one who can drink this wine is probably Master Mage God… No… Holy mage… An existence that surpasses the holy mage can drink.”

His hands were trembling, and his footsteps were a little unsteady. He resisted the urge to faint as he came in front of Lin En and placed the wine goblet in Lin En’s hand.

Seeing that monkey was so sensible.

Lin En was quite satisfied. He took the wine cup and drank a mouthful before saying, “Three days later, the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth’s arena will open, and your opportunity lies there.”
