Chapter 1008

Lin Huang saved Hong Zhuang not because he knew her and Yang Ling . He did it because he did not hope to see the Crow God complete the Crow God Ceremony which would remove Xiao Mo's consciousness and take over his body .
Moreover, Lin Huang thought that the Crow God threatening Yang Ling by taking Hong Zhuang as a hostage was shameless . He could not help himself but get involved in the fight .
He was not afraid of the Crow God's projection because it was limited to the eye whereby it could not leave the latter too far away . If he wanted to run, the Ninetails Lynx could always take him away .
Another reason was that the Crow God would be attacked by the enraged Yang Ling since Hong Zhuang was no longer a hostage . Furthermore, the eye would soon be completely contaminated . The Crow God had no time for Lin Huang at all .
As expected, the Crow God only glared at Lin Huang as he extended tens of black threads out, sweeping toward the demigod who held the battle bow . He wanted to take the battle bow in his hand to remove the curse cast on the eye .
Yang Ling noticed that and got help right away .
A couple of demigods attacked the Crow God's projection and Xiao Mo from a distance .
Feeling helpless, the Crow God could only spend some effort to build a defensive shield .
The war between the two parties began again .
Nobody knew what technique Yang Ling performed when he sent Hong Zhuang away by merely a wave of his hand . He was the only one left watching the battle .

This round of fighting was completely different from before . To protect Hong Zhuang earlier, the ten demigods stood guarded in front of her . Even if they attacked, they did so from a distance .
However, a couple of demigod puppets charged straight at the Crow God's projection and Xiao Mo as soon as the battle took place .
The Crow God's projection felt more pressure than before .
Infinite large, bloody suns lit up in the air when the demigods collided with the Crow God's projection .
The sky above the Tranquil Ocean and the water turned red . It looked like Doomsday was coming .
Circles of Divine Power swept in all directions in the form of endless wind while the entire Tranquil Ocean rumbled with waves .
"Thanks for helping me earlier . " Yang Ling's voice transmission came into Lin Huang's ears all of a sudden while he was in the alternate dimension . He turned his head to look at Yang Ling immediately, and he saw the latter smiling at him while nodding .
"You can see me?" Just when Lin Huang asked that out loud, he recalled he was in the alternate dimension, so Yang Ling was unable to hear him .
However, Yang Ling soon replied through a voice transmission, "Not only do I see you, but I can also hear you . "
"This Combat Soul of yours isn't too shabby," Yang Ling proceeded to say while peeping at the Ninetails Lynx on Lin Huang's shoulder .

"So, you're really a True God? Or you were a True God before?" Lin Huang asked immediately . Only a True God or powerhouses above the true god-level could see the Ninetails Lynx's alternate dimension .
"The Hundred-eyed Dark Crow's speculation is basically correct," Yang Ling agreed, "It's just that he underestimated my combat strength during my peak . "
"Were you a Heavenly God?" Lin Huang asked immediately . Seeing Yang Ling grin without saying anything, he proceeded to ask, "Were you a Lord?!"
"It's all in the past now . " Yang Ling shook his head without giving a final answer .
"So, you really have no cultivation now?" Lin Huang asked in confusion .
"I don't . "
"Then, how did you resurrect your abilities and were able to see the alternate dimension?" Lin Huang was a little curious about that .
Yang Ling smiled at Lin Huang upon hearing that question . He only spoke after a while, "It's the remaining ability from my Goldfinger . "
"A Goldfinger?!" Lin Huang's heart jolted when he heard that . He knew Yang Ling was hinting something in his quirky smile .
"Yes, a Goldfinger . Don't you have two with you?" Yang Ling said while smiling, "My homeboy from Earth…"
Lin Huang was completely shocked . He did not expect to be exposed . It seemed like his identity had been buried long ago .

"Don't worry . I've no ill intentions . "
"How did you find out?"
"I knew that when I first saw you three years ago . I sensed the Goldfinger in your body . That's how I knew you're a traveler . "
"Also, you showed flaws the moment you saw the football I made . You hid it well on the surface, but your heartbeat, your breath, the reaction of your pupils and the bioelectricity in your body told me that you knew what a football is . Apart from that, you told me that your name was Ye Xiu . I read the novel too, alright," Yang Ling explained while smiling .
"Three years ago . . . " Lin Huang frowned . He was using the identity as Lin Huang when he first met Yang Ling three years ago instead of his current identity as Lin Xie . He only assumed the new identity when he came to the core zone more than a year ago .
"Yes, Mr . Lin Huang," Yang Ling called out Lin Huang's real name while smiling .
"So, has my disguise been redundant to you?" Lin Huang was almost speechless .
"No matter what you disguise yourself as, your Goldfinger's aura won't change," Yang Ling said while smiling .
"Why didn't you expose me earlier? And why are you telling me all these now out of nowhere?"
"I didn't expose you because it was unnecessary . I have many clients who have multiple identities . You're not the only one . People disguise themselves because they don't want me to know who they really are, so why should I expose them?"
"I'm telling you all these now because there's no need to hide it any longer . If everything goes as planned, I'll be going to the great world really soon . We won't be seeing each other often anyway, so I thought I would be honest now . It's rare to meet a fellow traveler from Earth . It'll be more awkward to talk about this if we bumped into each other in the great world in the future . "
Lin Huang felt really uncomfortable now . Yang Ling took the initiative to change the subject just when he had no idea how to proceed with the conversation .
"You've pretty much grown now . You won't take very long to get to the great world . Since we're from the same hometown, I'll give you a few pointers . "
Lin Huang nodded while smiling .
"Firstly, never tell anyone what's the core ability of your Goldfinger . If you can, it's best that you don't reveal anything about your Goldfinger . Even your parents, siblings, partner and all other travelers! Especially not other travelers!"
Yang Ling continued speaking looking at Lin Huang's doubtful expression .
"Not all travelers are friendly to other travelers . Most of the travelers come from different worlds . There are very few travelers who come from the same planet as we do, and it's even rarer to meet another traveler on the same planet . Even if you met another traveler from Earth, you must have your guard up and not trust the person completely .
"There's this group of people among the travelers called the Raiders . They especially hunt travelers to take their Goldfingers . Such travelers are extremely dangerous . They've no morals at all and they're capable of doing anything at all for the sake of obtaining other Goldfingers .
"I was cheated by a powerful Raider before . That's how I ended up like this . He attacked me and took my Goldfinger away . I would've been dead if I didn't escape with my very last gush of a soul from self-explosion at the very critical moment .
"I thought I could start over again, but never had I thought that my cultivation base was destroyed because my soul remnant was severed . Moreover, I was left with less than 10% of ability in my Goldfinger . It's difficult for me to go down the cultivation path again, let alone obtain the combat strength I had back then . "
"So, have you found the way to cultivate again?" Lin Huang could not help but ask because he heard Yang Ling mention that he would go to the great world soon .
"Pretty much . " A slyness flashed through Yang Ling's eyes . "If I succeed…"
