But it didn't matter if he wasn't willing because he didn't have a way to deal with this person.
Even if he wanted to fight, he wouldn't be able to use most of his power because this was a space that this figure had created inside his mind. For him to fight at full power, he would have to use his pets in that array, but he wasn't able to summon them at all.
Then again, even if he was able to summon those pets, it wasn't guaranteed that he would be able to win.
This was a person that was even able to cancel out the power of the system, so he was definitely powerful. Or at least he was at a level that Lin Fan couldn't match right now.
Lin Fan couldn't help taking a step back, but when the figure saw this, he knew that it was time.
The figure didn't waste any time at all as it suddenly charged forward, flying out at a speed that even Lin Fan found hard to match. In just a split second, it was already in front of Lin Fan with his hand in front of his face, revealing a wide smile on his face.
As he had this smile on his face, he looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Any last words?"
Even if Lin Fan wasn't willing, he knew that he didn't want to give this figure any satisfaction, so he just stared right into his eyes without saying a word.
The figure gave a nod before saying, "Alright, your loss. Then again, it wasn't like I would have passed them on for you since I'll be pretending to be you."
As soon as his voice fell, there was a golden glow that appeared in his hand in front of Lin Fan's face.
That was the last thing that Lin Fan saw before losing consciousness.
As he was fading into the darkness, there was one thing that appeared in his mind, or rather there was only one face that appeared on his mind.
It was one of the first faces that he had seen and it was still the most perfect one that he had ever seen.
His only regret was not realizing how he felt sooner and telling her. At least they would have spent a bit more time together.
…
After Lin Fan lost consciousness, the figure was able to easily enter his soul and entered into the core of his soul.
At the very core of his soul, there was a palace which represented the very foundation of what Lin Fan was. As long as this palace was destroyed, it would mean that the very thing in his soul that defined Lin Fan was gone, which meant that it was what this figure was aiming for.
But the moment that this figure appeared in the very core of Lin Fan's soul, he couldn't help muttering in a surprised voice, "What is going on here?"
Looking around him, he couldn't understand what he was seeing because this was something that shouldn't be possible.
Each person would only have one single palace in their soul because that was the norm.
If a person went against this norm and had two different palaces, it would either mean that there were two souls inhabiting the same body, or they cultivated a secret technique which allowed them to split their soul in two, doubling the power of their soul.
But there had never been a case where there was someone who had been able to split their soul in three parts. Not to mention having three different fragments of souls inside one single soul.
If it was three different soul fragments that were all gathered together inside one soul, it was no longer as simple as the sum of three souls clashing against each other, but rather it would be an exponential amount of pain.
But no matter how he wanted to believe that what he saw wasn't true, the facts had been placed right in front of his eyes.
In front of him right now, there were three different palaces that were erected in the core of Lin Fan's soul.
Still, even if the facts were in front of him, that didn't matter to him right now. He had come here with a goal and instead of wasting time pondering what he was seeing, he should focus on what he should do.
The most important thing was that even though Lin Fan had three different palaces in his soul, which should mean that his soul power was three times stronger, that wasn't necessarily the case.
With three different palaces in his soul, it meant that there would be a lot of clashing between these three palaces because the most natural state that a soul had was just having a single palace. These three palaces all represented a single different unique consciousness, which meant that the differences between them would be the conflict between souls and would decrease Lin Fan's overall soul power.
With his soul that had been developed for several thousand years, there was no chance that Lin Fan would be able to match him as he destroyed Lin Fan's soul palaces.
So with this thought in mind, the figure started moving forward towards the center palace as he said, "Let's get this over with."
Out of the three palaces that were in Lin Fan's soul, two of them looked normal, but there was a single one that looked much more magnificent. It even had a faint golden glow around it which was a familiar glow to this figure. After all, it was the same golden glow that he had been using the entire time.
Based on this, he knew that the center palace which was covered in this golden glow should be the main part of Lin Fan's soul, which was also why he headed towards it.
Ignoring the other two palaces, the figure came up right in front of the golden glowing palace and raised his right hand to gather the golden energy that he had been using the whole time, but this time he didn't release it as a ball of light. Rather, the golden energy gathered in his palm for a bit before he suddenly turned his hand towards the golden palace.
Right before doing anything, the figure muttered to himself, "Transmigration junior, friend from the same world, I'll make good use of your body. Please don't blame me for this, please blame the gods for forcing me to do this."
Then after he said this, his hand suddenly turned around and he released a beam of light right at the golden palace.
That beam of light flew out and lit up this dark space around him, but the moment it did, the figure had seen something terrifying.
In the background of the core of Lin Fan's soul, there was an entire world that was hidden in the darkness.
Normally a person's soul would just have a few buildings in the background at most, but this was an entire world that was filled with various cities, forests, lakes, and other natural scenery. The only thing that was missing were the living beings to inhabit this world and a source of light for this world.
The reason why a normal person's soul only had a few buildings at most was that their soul wasn't strong enough to sustain anything greater than that.
In the upper cultivation realms, the main goal that one tried to achieve was to build an entire realm in their soul because that realm would be the foundation of the law that they created. To put it simply, the path to become a god was to become the ruler of a law and become the embodiment of that law, which was why one had to create a realm as a foundation for this in their soul.
For what existed in Lin Fan's soul to exist, there was only one possibility…
The figure immediately looked at the golden palace in front of him and said, "Just what are you…"
But before he could even finish his sentence, there was a wave of golden energy that erupted from the golden palace that destroyed the beam of light that he had shot at the golden palace. The wave of golden energy didn't stop there as it continued on until it hit the figure right in the chest, sending him flying several meters before he was slammed right into the ground.
If this wasn't the core of Lin Fan's soul, with how strong he had been slammed into the ground, there definitely would have been a crater that was created around him.
After being slammed into the ground, the figure was in daze until he suddenly felt a sweet taste appear in his mouth. He tried his best to push it down, but he was forced to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the figure knew that he had been seriously injured with just that single shockwave and he didn't even know how it had happened.
When he realized this fact, the figure couldn't stop a trace of panic from flashing in his eyes, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Seeing that nothing else was happening, the figure suddenly called out, "If you're going to hide, why bother attacking? Aren't you going to come out to introduce yourself!"
Though as he said this, there was a slight tremble that was in his voice.
He was someone who was used to controlling everything and he would panic if he ever felt that he wasn't in control.
The last time he felt this way was that time…
After the figure shouted this, there was a glow that suddenly came from the golden palace.
