Lin Fan had been caught off guard by this voice and he couldn't help taking a step back as he looked around himself. However, as he looked around, he couldn't find where this voice was coming from.
While he was looking around, the voice asked again, "Human, do you desire my throne?"
Lin Fan revealed a wary look and didn't say anything, but his expression made his feelings clear.
This ti, the voice didn't ask the sa thing as it suddenly burst out in laughter. Then after laughing for a bit, it said, "Of course you do, after all, it is this one's throne."
But then this voice suddenly turned serious as it asked, "But are you worthy of this one's throne?"
Lin Fan knitted his brows before asking, "What do I need to do to be worthy of your throne?"
The voice was silent for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter again. After laughing for a bit, that voice suddenly said, "Why are you so serious? You don't need to prove anything to inherit my throne. In fact, there's sothing that I want to ask of you."
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more since he couldn't keep up with this voice, but he still said, "What do you need from ?"
The voice was silent, but then there was a ball of light that ca out of the throne in front of Lin Fan. This ball of light floated for a bit before it suddenly changed form to take the shape of a man.
This was a man that was like a grown up form of the wisps, but that did make sense since the law for the wisps ca from this man. The only difference was that he had a pair of white wings that were on his back.
This man floated in the air for a bit, looking over Lin Fan before saying with a smile, "I can't see through you at all. No, it can't be said that I can't see through you since you're too weak to even catch my attention normally, rather I can't see through the person who's behind you."
Then after a pause, he said, "But that's good enough for . It ans that you have enough backing to protect my offspring."
Lin Fan couldn't help muttering to himself, "Offspring?" Then he asked out loud, "What do you an by that?"
The man floating in the air for once didn't have a smile on his face as he said with a bitter look, "It's a long story, do you want to hear it?"
Lin Fan hesitated a bit, but he still nodded in the end.
The winged man gave a sigh before saying, "To put it simply, we just learned too much and we were punished, but that really doesn't tell you anything, does it? You're probably still wondering how this world beca a castle floating out in space, right? Then let start from the beginning…"
The story that the winged man told Lin Fan was one that was missing plenty of details, but it was one that explained the general gist of the situation.
It was like he said, this world had learned too much and they had been punished in the end. They didn't even know how the punishnt ca, but their world had been destroyed when it was over and this winged man, he had been killed.
He had left fragnts of his will in this throne to pass down his request because he was worried about his descendants, so he had been waiting the entire ti for soone to arrive.
At the end of his story, Lin Fan asked with knitted brows, "But how do you know that your descendants are still alive?"
The winged man revealed a smile as he pointed at the door and said, "You've seen it, haven't you? There's so kind of invisible barrier around this room?"
Lin Fan thought about it and rembered the invisible circle that had kept the wisps out in front of the door to this room. It did seem like there was so kind of invisible barrier around this room, so he gave a nod.
The winged man saw this nod and continued, "That was sothing that I placed myself, so you can be sure that it's powerful. I placed many of those barriers around this castle to create safe zones for my descendants. It cost the final bit of energy that I had, so I'm quite confident in them."
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "So you're telling that there's still these areas active in the castle? Are you able to sense them?"
The winged man nodded with a smile and said, "It's good that you could pick this up fast. That's right, I'm the one that made them, so naturally I'm able to find them as well. If you follow my directions, you'll be able to find the safe zones."
Lin Fan nodded, but then he knitted his brows again to ask, "What do you want to do after I find them though?"
The winged man revealed a confused look, "Since you were able to reach this realm, shouldn't you be able to bring them away as well?"
Lin Fan revealed an awkward smile as he said, "I used a special thod to co here and I'm the only one that can use this thod. I won't be able to bring them away with ."
The winged man didn't seem to mind as he waved his hand to make a crystal appear between his fingers. Then he raised it in front of Lin Fan and said, "Perhaps this will solve the problem then."
Lin Fan looked at the crystal and he could feel a familiar law coming from it, but he still didn't know what it was exactly, so he asked, "What is this?"
The winged man tossed the crystal to Lin Fan without saying a word which Lin Fan easily caught. Then the winged man said, "It's a teleportation crystal, you'll be able to bring my descendants away with you as long as you have this. All you have to do is crush it and it'll take them away from this realm with you."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he looked at the crystal and asked, "How are you sure that it will work?"
The winged man revealed a smile and said, "Well, I made it with the final bit of my energy, so I'm confident that it will be able to bring them away with you no matter how far you'll go. I wanted to make sure that they would have a way to escape, so I put quite a bit of power into it."
Lin Fan then asked, "How does it work?"
The winged man replied, "As long as you crush it, it'll transfer everything within ten ters of the one who crushed it along with the one who crushed it. As for the destination, it will depend on the person who crushes it. As long as they are thinking of the location they want to go, it'll bring them there."
Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head as he said with a smile, "You really thought of everything, didn't you?"
The winged man revealed a bitter smile this ti as he said, "They are my descendants, it's impossible for to not care about them, don't you think?"
Lin Fan thought about his own family and after a pause, he gave a nod without saying anything else.
The winged man wanted to say sothing, but then his figure suddenly flickered which caused him to knit his brows. After that flicker, it was clear that his figure was much more transparent compared to before.
The winged man clicked his tongue before saying, "Che, it seems like ti is up."
Lin Fan noticed this too and quickly asked, "Where are your descendants? You still haven't told that yet."
The winged man revealed a surprised look before suddenly slapping his head and saying, "Right, I completely forgot!"
He then lifted his finger and created a map that was made of pure light in the air. There was a dot for where they were standing and there were Xs that represented where the other shields were that held his descendants. The winged man also made sure to explain all the various routes because this map was only two dinsional, while the entire castle was three dinsional.
After he finished explaining, it was clear that his ti was up since he had almost faded from existence.
However, before he did fade away, he looked at Lin Fan with a serious look and said, "I hope that you will be able to keep your promise and I hope that one day, you will help my descendants rise up again."
Before Lin Fan even had a chance to say anything, the winged man had completely disappeared and the room beca much darker.
Lin Fan turned to look at the throne in front of him again and when he looked at it now, there was a kind of connection that had ford between them.
It seed like the winged man had kept his word about giving him this throne and he had even shown his sincerity by letting it bind to Lin Fan. The only problem was that Lin Fan was just too weak to use it.
He could tell that there was a will inside of this artifact and while it had bonded to him, it also disdained him. But the real reason why Lin Fan couldn't use it was because he didn't have enough life energy to let it use its abilities.
For now, the only thing that he could do was put away this throne in his Spatial Ring until he was strong enough to use it.
