Lin Chen took a step forward, feeling instantly surrounded by cold air.

The purple flame true fire within him surged, melting the incoming cold.

In the gray mist, there seemed to be a path leading straight ahead.

However, walking on this path requires great courage.

Because you never know what might happen next, you might even fall from the sky at any moment.

Lin Chen had barely walked for more than ten meters when he felt the spiritual energy within him completely depleted.

After all, Lin Chen had been walking all along, and the spiritual energy within him was already quite limited.

Coupled with resisting the cold, Lin Chen felt his body was nearly emptied.

Lin Chen's face turned pale, and without the protection of true fire, a thin layer of ice formed on his body.

And as Lin Chen continued deeper, the ice layer grew thicker, becoming increasingly difficult for him to move.

Every step Lin Chen took required all his strength.

Hold on, you can't fall!

Lin Chen walked heavily, moving forward continuously.

He felt as if his entire body, even his bones, were frozen stiff.

Finally, Lin Chen's eyes brightened as a magnificent palace appeared in his view.

When Lin Chen entered the palace, the ice on him instantly melted.

Lin Chen felt his body lighten, and the pressure on him suddenly vanished.

Gold light shone on Lin Chen, feeling warm and cozy.

Inside, the palace was splendid and resplendent, everything was made of gold.

Along the magnificent palace, Lin Chen crossed a long gold-water bridge; ahead was the main hall.

At the palace entrance, two lifelike warriors stood at both sides of the main hall.

Inside the palace, royal ministers and court maids, each with varying appearances, and in the center of the hall sat one person high on the dragon throne.

Everyone in this palace was made of gold, except the person seated on the dragon throne had a flesh body.

The Yellow Emperor!

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened; he guessed the person's identity at once from their attire.

What shocked Lin Chen even more was that the Yellow Emperor was emitting faint spiritual energy.

How could this be, the Yellow Emperor is an ancient figure.

Just as Lin Chen was startled, the Yellow Emperor suddenly opened his eyes.

Oh, my!

Chinese people call themselves descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Yellow Emperor is the god of the Chinese people. Unexpectedly, the legendary god appears right before him.

The Yellow Emperor opened his eyes, looking at Lin Chen with some surprise.

"Chi You, I didn't expect that after sleeping for a thousand years, the first person I would see upon awakening would be you!" The Yellow Emperor looked at Lin Chen with a complex expression.

Lin Chen was puzzled, glanced around, realizing he was the only one in the entire palace.

"Are you talking to me?" Lin Chen pointed to himself and asked in confusion.

The Yellow Emperor kept his gaze fixed on Lin Chen, a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.

"No, although you look like him, your cultivation is too weak, and your temperament is completely wrong." The Yellow Emperor shook his head.

"Junior Lin Chen greets the Yellow Emperor." After all, the opponent was the legendary Yellow Emperor, and Lin Chen, a descendant of Yan and Huang himself, respectfully bowed to the Yellow Emperor.

But the Yellow Emperor shook his head: "No, you have the aura of Chi You on you. I understand now; is this the price you pay for immortality?"

At this moment, Lin Chen was utterly confused; why was this Yellow Emperor so convinced that he was Chi You!

The Yellow Emperor smiled as he looked at Lin Chen, as if having an epiphany.

"I see now, everyone thought I, the Yellow Emperor, was the winner of the Three Emperors' contest, but in fact, you were the one who ultimately benefited." The Yellow Emperor sighed.

Lin Chen said speechlessly, "I really don't understand what senior is talking about."

The Yellow Emperor said calmly, "Back then, the three of us brothers came to this plane following our master's words to comprehend the fortune of heaven and earth. Later, we found three treasures here, the flower of life, the crystal of heavenly origin, and the key to immortality. It was precisely these three treasures that turned us against each other and brought years of war to humanity."

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this; so this was the cause of the conflict among the Three Emperors for dominion over ancient China.

"Among these three treasures, I obtained two, the flower of life and the crystal of heavenly origin, while the last treasure, the key to immortality, vanished without a trace!"

"People said I killed my younger brother Chi You, but that's not true. After the great battle, he disappeared with the key to immortality." The Yellow Emperor said, looking at Lin Chen.

"Actually, we were all wrong back then, we thought obtaining the three treasures would make us the masters of this plane. We were mistaken; although these three treasures are good, each has its own flaws." The Yellow Emperor sighed.

"Are you saying I am Chi You, who possessed the key to immortality?" Lin Chen furrowed his brows.

He had never thought that he could be one of the ancient Three Emperors.

"Yes and no; though you have gained immortality, your soul is sealed in the immortal body. You can be considered entirely anew now." The Yellow Emperor said calmly.

"So, the soul sealed within me is the War God Chi You?" Lin Chen's heart was stirred, finally understanding what was in the depths of his soul.

"Correct, that soul is immortal, and subsequent souls will have their memories erased periodically, meaning your body has unknowingly carried many souls, only to have them erased again." The Yellow Emperor said, looking at Lin Chen.

"So, the key to immortality grants eternal life to the body but not to the soul." Lin Chen's gaze sharpened.

"Indeed, but you're fortunate to have met me. I can offer you a chance at true immortality, but you have to agree to one condition." The Yellow Emperor said.

"You can help me escape the cycle of erasure?" Lin Chen asked, looking at the Yellow Emperor.

"Of course, all things have cause and effect; our meeting is fate between you and me." The Yellow Emperor smiled.

"All right, tell me your condition!" Lin Chen said solemnly.

"The Chinese civilization was founded by myself and my second brother, the Flame Emperor, but it is soon to face a catastrophe. I hope you, having mastered my power, can help this plane endure this disaster." The Yellow Emperor said calmly.

"You should be far more powerful than me, why aren't you taking action yourself?" Lin Chen asked.

The Yellow Emperor gave a bitter smile: "I have already left Earth's plane; what you see now is merely a remnant of my soul."

"In our plane world, there is a rule of elimination; if Earth's plane ranks last in power, it will be wiped out!"

"What rank is Earth's plane currently?" Lin Chen asked.

"Second to last!" The Yellow Emperor answered with a bitter smile.

"Damn, that's weak." Lin Chen said speechlessly.

"Yes, the final ranking time is approaching fast, and according to my intelligence, a powerful figure from another plane has already infiltrated Earth's plane." The Yellow Emperor continued.

"What must I do?" Lin Chen took a deep breath and asked.

After all, Lin Chen was born in China; here lie his family and friends. No matter what, he wouldn't stand by and watch Earth's plane be wiped out.

"If my guess is correct, someone from another plane has already entered Earth's plane causing trouble. They'll try every means to kill Earth's strongest, weakening Earth's plane's power. Your task is to find that person, kill him, and infiltrate his plane—an eye for an eye!" The Yellow Emperor continued.

"This task seems a bit tricky!" Lin Chen furrowed his brows, feeling the burden on his shoulders suddenly become heavier.
