With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 289 Face Of God (2)

Once the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor walked over, he stopped when he was standing over the glowing figure.

Looking down, he revealed an even wider smile.

That was because the glowing figure that was lying in front of him was Lin Fan.

This very dark space was the inner sanctum of Lin Fan's mind and the glowing figure in front of him was Lin Fan's soul.

The array was a special array that would transfer his own soul into Lin Fan's mind.

Once he was here, all he needed to do was use his special technique to crush Lin Fan's soul and then take over this mind space. Once he took over this mind space, he would claim control over Lin Fan's body, making it his.

As for why the glowing figure of Lin Fan's soul was just lying there without moving…

That was because of the poison that the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor used.

The poison was one that reached even the soul of the one that was inflicted with it, so Lin Fan's soul was also paralyzed like his mind and body.

This was a special poison that the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor had once risked his life to obtain, so if it wasn't at this level, then it wouldn't be worthy of him.

After standing there in silence for a few seconds, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor suddenly raised his hand and gathered his spiritual energy. Once his spiritual energy was gathered in his hands, he suddenly lifted it and pointed it up at the dark sky above him.

As he pointed up, the spiritual energy came out in the forms of strands that floated into the sky.

After reaching a certain height, they suddenly came to a stop and started weaving among each other. It was only a small net at first, but soon these strands came together to form a giant net that completely covered up the sky above the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

This was a special net that was used to prevent any soul fragments from escaping.

There were cases where even if a soul was destroyed and a body was taken over, there would be soul fragments surviving and then being reborn. After the destroyed soul was reborn, it would regain the memories of its past life and take revenge on the one that killed it.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor wouldn't allow something like this to happen to him.

So he took this extra precaution of preparing this net.

After all, he was a very cautious person by nature.

The one exception to this was when he had rushed to claim Lin Fan's body.

His excitement had reached a peak and had exploded, which caused him to take that rash action of subduing Lin Fan early.

But at the same time, he was fully confident in being able to render Lin Fan unconscious with his poison, so he was at least still in control of the situation.

Now that he had reached the critical point, he forced himself to calm down even if his excitement wanted him to go crazy. He took all precautions to ensure that nothing would go wrong for him.

After this net was set up, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor turned to Lin Fan's soul lying there.

He raised his hands again and placed them over the soul this time.

Then he slowly started scattering his spiritual energy around Lin Fan, creating another array around him. This was an array that would ensure that Lin Fan's soul wouldn't wake up because of any things hidden inside of it.

There were stories about other souls hidden inside of a person's soul that he had heard before. These were usually the souls of powerful cultivators that had to hide away for different reasons.

He wouldn't allow anything like this to ruin his plan.

After this array…

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor continued creating arrays until there were over a hundred different arrays all around Lin Fan's soul, guarding against all different kinds of possibilities.

It really was a bit overkill, but the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor did it all.

Only after all of these arrays were in place did he finally take out a dark looking dagger.

This was the Soul Crushing Dagger.

It was a special artifact that would be used to destroy the current soul of the body, leaving the body empty for possession.

As a soul artifact, it was naturally attached to the soul as well, which was why it was able to come into this mind space with the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all to stab it at Lin Fan.

After all, with all of this preparation, there was nothing for him to be afraid of.

But the moment that the Soul Crushing Dagger could stab Lin Fan, there was a golden barrier of light that appeared around him.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor knitted his brows when he saw this, but he wasn't worried.

He could easily tell that this was some kind of life saving measure that someone had left on Lin Fan to protect his soul.

As for why he wasn't worried, he could tell that it wasn't strong enough to stop him. Just a few stabs with the Soul Crushing Dagger would be enough to destroy this golden barrier.

So without hesitation, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor went on a stabbing frenzy with the Soul Crushing Dagger.

There was no reaction from the golden barrier at first, but after a few stabs, there were cracks that started to form on the golden barrier. With a few more stabs, the cracks became wider and wider until the entire golden barrier cracked.

Seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor revealed a wide smile as he brought the Soul Crushing Dagger up to stab down at Lin Fan.

However, before he could do that, the mind space around him suddenly shook.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor couldn't help knitting his brows and started looking around as if he could sense something. However, no matter how he looked, he wasn't able to find a thing.

So he asked, "Who's there?"

There was no response to this as the mind space fell silent again.

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor didn't move as he released his spiritual sense around him, trying to find the cause of that trembling.

It was just too bad that there wasn't a single thing that he could find.

After standing there in silence for a bit, he turned back to Lin Fan's soul and raised the Soul Crushing Dagger once again.

When the Soul Crushing Dagger was raised again, the mind space once again trembled before a voice suddenly said, "Threat to the host has been detected. The system will now take preventative measures."

The Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor revealed a shocked look when he heard this and started looking around as he asked, "Who's there? What is this system?"

But once again there was no answer to this question.

The only answer he received was…

Bolts of golden lightning suddenly appeared in this mind space, raining down on the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

When the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor saw this, he immediately raised his hand to form a barrier around him.

However, the golden lightning didn't target him at all.

Instead, the golden lightning suddenly rained down all around him, hitting the arrays that he had set up.

The arrays weren't able to hold up for a single second before they were shattered by the golden lightning bolts raining down on them.

In the end, there was only the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor who was standing there with a shocked look on his face. But before he could say anything, there was another flash of light before a golden figure appeared in front of him.

He couldn't look directly at this golden figure because it was just too bright to look at, but he could feel an immense power that he had never felt before.

Could it be that this was a god?

As this thought passed through his mind, he was filled with fear.

He quickly pointed his finger at this golden figure and said, "Who, who, who are you? What, what are you?"

The golden figure just ignored his words as it turned to look at Lin Fan. Then with a wave of its hand, there was a golden barrier that appeared around Lin Fan's soul that protected him from everything.

Only after Lin Fan was protected did this golden figure turn to look at the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

When it looked at him, the golden light that surrounded this golden figure wasn't as bright as before and the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor was able to see who it was. The moment that he saw the true appearance of the golden figure, his jaw dropped.

That was because it was a beautiful little girl who looked to be no more than thirteen with wings on her back.

This was the most beautiful face that he had ever seen in his life and he couldn't help being stunned even though he had been filled with fear.

After a moment of being in a daze, the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor asked, "Are you god?"

The beautiful little girl shook her head and said, "I am the system sent to protect the host. You are a nuisance that must be eliminated."

Then without any hesitation, she raised her hand and pointed it at the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor.

There was a bright flash of light in front of the Hidden Dragon Sect ancestor's eyes before his consciousness faded for the last time.

In this final moment, he couldn't help thinking.

Was this the face of god?

No, it was the face of an angel.
