Chapter 272: The Welfare of the Descendants
Lin Chen turned his head and looked at this brother seriously, wanting to see if he was telling the truth or a lie, but his expression was extremely sincere, and he couldn't see anything.
However, he understood what Gu Shenlan said just now, this cousin of other branches of the Gu Shen clan seemed to want to find himself as a partner, and when it came to this partner, he had to say that the strange tradition within these wealthy clans was intra-clan marriage.
It is a very old but popular way for the best offspring of the clan to marry each other to ensure that the good bloodline of the family is not lost, and it was also the case with some of the top families in the past.
Lin Chen had heard it before, but he didn't expect it to be his turn this time.
I've never experienced this kind of thing, but I don't think it's very good in my heart, and I don't like it very much.
However, after not waiting for a while, another cousin with white skin, beautiful eyes, big breasts and long legs came over and also expressed her good impression to him, and the brother on the side was a little envious, and smacked his tongue and said:
"Brother, you're very popular, it seems that being beaten by the patriarch is quite useful."
Lin Chen said speechlessly:
"You can also try it, and you can be as popular as I am."
The man waved his hand again and again:
"I don't have the beating of an immortal body, and I'm afraid I'll die according to the patriarch's beating method!"
His tone was full of envy for his immortal body, Lin Chen laughed, and chatted with him just when he was fine.
It didn't take long for another bell to ring, the ancestral hall door slowly opened, revealing a whirlpool like a black hole, the ancestral hall looks like an ordinary ancestral hall on the outside, but in fact, the interior is its own space, it is said to be an independent plane, inside is the birthplace of the ancient gods, and later the ancient gods made a fortune and settled in the second floating island of the Supreme Tower, and the patriarch at that time refined the entire plane and turned it into an independent plane similar to the secret realm.
It is said that the rules inside are different from the outside, and any person in power in the clan can enter the ancestral shrine to cultivate or sleep when they are old, which can greatly extend their lifespan, and it is said that they have accumulated from generation to generation, and there are many old and immortal super legendary powerhouses hidden in this ancestral land, and it is said that there are even several seventh-order peak powerhouses, but I don't know if they are all alive.
The so-called ancestral shrine is to enter the ancestral land, in the patriarch, that is, the ancient gods, led into the black hole whirlpool, a clan elder held a golden cloth scroll like a holy decree and began to read one name after another, and those who were read the name were eligible to enter the ancestral land.
At this time, no one dares to be distracted, especially their juniors, for fear that they will forget their names or answer slowly and skip them, then this ancestor worship has nothing to do with you.
There are five or six hundred people gathered in the area near the ancestral hall, and they are all qualified to enter the ancestral hall, but not everyone can enter, there are only two hundred places every year, and the rest is only the next round.
One by one, his names were called, and he smiled and dressed up and walked to the ancestral shrine to bow before stepping into the whirlpool.
Not long after, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Lin Yuezhen, Lin Chen!"
Countless envious eyes fell on them, the mother was very excited with her hand and covered her mouth, Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother to the ancestral hall, the eyes of the clan elders fell on them, smiled and nodded, and said:
"Let's get in."
The mother bowed slightly, and held his hand tightly into the whirlpool.
Walking through the whirlpool is like passing through a layer of water film, and the eyes are lit up to a small island floating in mid-air, with neatly paved stone slabs under your feet, and many floating islands around, the fog in the distance is hazy like a fairyland, the most important thing is that Lin Chen breathes casually, that is, the incomparably rich aura is inhaled into the mouth, and the concentration of this aura is comparable to the concentration of aura around the tree of life before the Great Wilderness.
The powerful eyesight passed through the surroundings, and he could see that the heavens and the earth were filled with a thick aura, and the hazy mist was the condensed aura.
The ancestral aura of this ancient god clan was so abundant, which was greatly unexpected by Lin Chen.
They stayed here for a while, and in the distance flew small wooden boats, which were very old kinds of small wooden boats on the water, but they could fly, and there was a white-robed man holding the boat over, and flew them to different small floating islands to fly them into the clouds.
In this heaven and earth, the aura is extremely abundant, there is a familiar breath of life in the air, the boat carries them through the layers of clouds and mist, a huge shadow appears in front of them, and gradually approaches, it is actually a tree of life.
This tree of life is even bigger than the ancient tree in the Great Wilderness Realm before it was promoted, up to more than ten kilometers, surrounded by ancient trees, forming a huge forest city, the clan elders live in the city under this tree of life, on the other side of the tree of life, there is a huge black shadow towering into the clouds, you can't see what the black shadow is in the spiritual mist, and you don't know how high it is.
Boats sailed under the ancient trees to lower them, and some people led them to the square under the tree of life, where there were already people waiting for them.
This plane does not seem to exist in the void, or is hidden in the void, and it is impossible to come here by normal means, only through the teleportation array of the ancestral shrine of the ancient god clan, and the plane is completely occupied by the old people of the clan, and other than that, there are only some nest creatures, that is, the white-robed people who support the boat.
At this time, another white-robed man led them to the bottom of the Tree of Life, a staircase circled the Tree of Life several times and extended up to the branches, and on the middle platform of the branches with a diameter of nearly one kilometer, he saw the ancient supernatural powers and more than twenty old white-robed men who were dying, as well as a lightning bolt in the center of the platform.
Yes, it was a thick and substantial beam of lightning stuck in the center of the platform, and it was this beam of lightning that they worshipped.
However, when Lin Chen got closer, he knew that this was not a lightning beam, but an immortal soul left by an unprecedentedly powerful powerhouse, when the strong person's soul condensed the immortal true intent from the ordinary divine soul, until it completely turned into an immortal soul, it would be as powerful as this lightning beam, even if the will fell for tens of thousands of years, it would not disappear.
At this time, Lin Chen finally knew what the ancestor of the ancient god clan was, it was an extremely powerful ancient god, this dazzling lightning-like divine soul that was thousands of meters high meant that his strength had reached at least the peak of the eighth order during his lifetime, and it was possible to reach the ninth order.
It is said that this indescribably powerful existence fell after the end of the era, although it escaped the end of the era, but it was also seriously injured, and after persisting for a period of time to leave the inheritance, the will was destroyed, leaving only this immortal spirit that has not been extinguished for thousands of years.
Solemnly kneeling and bowing solemnly, the ancient gods beckoned to him and came to dozens of clan elders, these are the predecessors of the ancient god clan, and only those who have made great contributions to the clan are eligible to have an old queen live here.
They seemed to have known about Lin Chen's existence for a long time, and they had a good impression of him, and one of them had an extremely powerful aura that was not inferior to the old man's power, and stretched out his thin hand to caress his head, looking relieved that the elders were seeing that the juniors were promising.
After spending a while with the clan elders, the ancient supernatural powers said to him:
"Follow me."
After saying that, he rose to the sky and disappeared, he gritted his teeth and quickly followed, and found that he was landing on a branch of the Tree of Life, lying on a large leaf more than ten meters long and looking at the sky, he looked up suspiciously, and there were only rapidly surging clouds and mist on it.
"Sit!"
Gu Shentong patted the leaves and motioned for him to come over, but Lin Chen hesitated, Gu Shentong's eyebrows immediately jumped, he reached out and grabbed it, and an invisible force forcibly took him and pressed him to the ground, and his face was pressed into the leaves of the Tree of Life:
"If you are told to come over, I will beat you?"
Lin Chen: It's not the same now..."
Of course, he wouldn't say this, so he honestly squatted on the side to avoid being beaten again.
"It would have been nice to be so well-behaved earlier."
Gu Shentong forcibly resisted the idea of beating him, let go of the hand holding his neck and looked up at the sky again, and said in a quiet voice:
"The elders of the clan are very optimistic about you."
"They have a good eye."
The muscles on Gu Shentong's face trembled, and he said:
"According to the clan rules, all clansmen will receive a benefit when they become adults, you are my cub, you are considered the main lineage, and the treatment will be different."
When he said the word 'cub', he deliberately accentuated his tone, and Lin Chen rolled his eyes when he heard it.
"The clan elders are very optimistic about you, so your treatment is different from others, now you have two choices, you pick it yourself."
After finishing speaking, a little crystal light popped out, and it quickly became larger and fell into his hand, it turned out to be a crystal plate full of science and technology, which had been lit up, and he took a closer look, it was the two choices his father said.
The first one, the clan gave him a few planes that had been completely conquered and asked him to choose one of them, and all the outputs in this plane would belong to Lin Chen in the future, but only the right to use and no ownership, and if he died in the future, this plane would be taken back to the clan.
He briefly looked at the brief introduction of those planes, all of which were dimensional fragments with a large area, the smallest of which was thousands of kilometers in diameter, and the largest was nearly 3,000 kilometers.
It doesn't seem to be very big, it's a lot worse than his Great Wilderness Realm, but you must know that most of the plane fragments in the void are very small, and the big planes or worlds are all spelled out, and it is extremely rare for this to be so large in itself.
These plane fragments are extremely rich in resources, and the family has conquered hundreds of thousands of years, and has already been developed, so he no longer needs to invest resources, and he only needs to receive money every year when he gets it.
And the second option is to give him a few plane coordinates that have not yet been conquered, each of these planes is larger than those conquered planes, and the resources will be correspondingly richer, but correspondingly more dangerous, because there are still powerful aborigines in it, and there are many true god-level powerhouses.
In short, risks and opportunities coexist, if you want to choose the first one, if you want to get more benefits, you have to rely on yourself.
And the second choice is to rely on your own strength to conquer, so after these planes are taken, they have their own ownership rights, and all the output should belong to them, and they can also be passed on to their descendants as an inheritance in the future.
Lin Chen didn't make a decision immediately, but clicked on the second option first, there was simple information on three different planes, and he looked at it carefully.
The first one is called the Black God Plane, and the Void Adventurers sent by the clan have found out some information in it, which is a huge plane ruled by a god called Darkness, and it is said that there is more than one subordinate god under its command, but due to the strength of the Void Adventurer, it is impossible to find out more detailed information, and I don't know if the dark god has reached the level of the seventh-order main god.
The second is called the tidal plane, which is a plane that is mostly water, it may be a great war in ancient times, the continent has all been destroyed, only some scattered islands remain, the human race in this world has been extinct, the whole world is ruled by the sea tribe, the void adventurers have explored in this world, and found traces of the belief of the sea god, but did not find the existence of the sea god.
This world is all seas, and the resources are very rich, but because it is a water world, it is very difficult to conquer, and without a strong underwater nest class, it is impossible to conquer the huge sea tribe inside.
The third is called the Mountain Plane, which is a huge plane covered by infinite mountain ranges, and there are a large number of giants living in it, as well as humans with giant bloodlines, and the Void adventurers have heard that there are mythical creatures such as Titans living on the top of the mountains on the human kingdom.
Titan is a very powerful mythical giant, the lowest is also from the fifth order, and the legendary Titan Giant King is as high as the seventh-order peak, which is very terrifying.
The three planes are very large and have abundant resources, but the third plane is the most dangerous and the most difficult to conquer, after all, whether it is a giant species all over the world, or a mythical titan is not easy to deal with, especially if the legend is true, there is really such an existence as the Titan Giant King, with Lin Chen's strength, it will be difficult to conquer even after another hundred years.
You must know that a hundred years later, plus his Great Wilderness Realm, there may be four seventh-order existences, and this kind of strength may not be able to conquer that world.
But correspondingly, the benefits of conquering the mountain plane are the greatest, whether it is all kinds of giants, or humans with giant bloodlines, they are very powerful sources of soldiers, and the most important thing is that the world definitely has the heart of the giant's lair, if you can get it, at least it is also medium, and it is likely to be the heart of the high-level lair.
And there are many resources in the mountain plane, although it is covered by mountains, but after all, it is the place where giants live, the most important thing is that this plane is really big, the void adventurers have not explored the edge of the world, and they have not even been to the center of the plane, and the legendary Titans on the top of the mountains in the center of the world are only passed down among giants, so everything is unknown.
Such a huge world, it is false to say that there are no good things, even if this huge world itself is wealth, it can't be conquered now, first get the plane coordinates, build a small base in the mountain plane first, and then slowly explore the situation clearly, and then conquer it when the strength is strong.
With this in mind, Lin Chen pointed to the mountain plane with his hand and said:
"I want to go to this."
The ancient god glanced at it and frowned slightly:
"People don't want to be ambitious, this plane may not be able to win even if it pours the strength of the entire ancient god clan, what do you choose this for?"
Then he pointed to the tidal plane and said:
"This plane is rich in resources and relatively low in difficulty, isn't it just suitable for your current strength?"
