Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?

555 The Black Emperor
In the sky, an ancient carriage flew by, pulled by a flying cloud horse.

In the carriage, Nie Zimou lay lazily and looked at Fang Lan and An Yu with a smile.

“Nie Zimou, didn’t you say you wouldn’t come? Why did you show up again?” An Yu asked in a gentle voice.

Nie Zimou smiled, “I had to come out and see the world. If I stay in Danyang City all the time, they all know I’m a genius, but people outside don’t. I have to make my genius reputation known to the outside world.

“Well, I should aim to get on the Divine Ranking List, then it’s worth it.”

An Yu said with a disdainful expression, “You, on the Divine Ranking List?”

Because they had traveled a lot, Fang Lan and An Yu also learned about the existence of the Divine Ranking List.

On that list were talents with the potential to become gods, not to mention the top 500 geniuses who could contend with divine-level experts.

In Danyang City, they hadn’t even heard of it. It wasn’t until they ventured out that they realized how vast the world was.

Therefore, they both scoffed at Nie Zimou’s words now.

Nie Zimou said proudly, “What’s wrong with me? Don’t forget, even Young Master Feng praised me as a formation genius. One day, I will definitely make it onto the Divine Ranking List!”

An Yu laughed out loud. “Brother Nie, stop teasing me. If you can reach the Epic level, that’s impressive enough. Divine level, Divine Ranking List, hahaha…”

Nie Zimou said indignantly, “Xiaoyu, what do you mean? I saved you all, and you don’t even say thank you. Now you’re making fun of me.”

Only then did An Yu restrain herself. “Alright, thank you, Brother Nie.”

Fang Lan shook her head and said, “Why didn’t you bring any guards when you came out?”

Nie Zimou coming out alone wasn’t in line with his character.

“Well, I didn’t bring anyone with me because I wanted to have a chance to show off. Look, that Fire Lion just now was at the peak of the Dark Gold level, and I dealt with it easily,” Nie Zimou said proudly.

Fang Lan nodded and looked at the carriage, “Speaking of this carriage, where did you get it? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for us to travel in comfort while we’re out for experience?”

Nie Zimou chuckled and said, “I got this from my father. How is it? It’s impressive, right?

“As for the experience, who says you can’t enjoy it while experiencing? I want to experience it comfortably.”

Fang Lan looked at Nie Zimou and was somewhat speechless. This guy was just short of writing the words ‘aristocratic family disciple’ on his face.

Being so ostentatious in this wilderness, wasn’t he afraid of attracting exotic beasts?

Nie Zimou guessed Fang Lan’s thoughts and waved his hand. “Xiaolan, don’t worry. I’m here. You can rest assured. With my expertise in formations, even if it’s a star-level beast, I can guarantee your safety. Relax.”

Fang Lan nodded and did not say anything else.

And so, the carriage roared past, heading toward the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, because Danyang City was in the southernmost part of the Heavenly South Region, although they had covered a considerable distance, it would probably take several months to reach the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

On the other side, a purple-eyed youth was coming from the Central Province and heading straight for the Heavenly South.

“In the Heavenly South? Is it the Great Xia Dynasty or the Great Yan Dynasty?”

Junior muttered to himself. His figure constantly shuttled through the void, leaving behind spatial fluctuations on the spot, but he did not care.

In the west, Lin Qinglong and the others had also walked very far. On the way, they encountered many mutated beasts and even robbers. However, Lin Qinglong was already at the early stage of the epic level, and Li Zongming was at the mid-stage of the epic level. Therefore, they passed through calmly.
The Heaven-Bridger, who was in the dark, had also been watching and did not appear. He believed that as long as he did not encounter a divine level enemy, he should not need to attack.

In the east, Lin Fen, who was wearing a black robe, had just walked out of the Heavenly South and stepped into the east of this world.

In front of Lin Fen stood a person in a black robe.

The other party’s black robe had golden edges and looked very domineering. However, the other party’s aura was as unfathomable as that of an ordinary person.

Lin Fen frowned and looked at the other party. He asked coldly, “Who are you?”

The golden-robed man smiled faintly, “My name is Zhou Ganhuang. Others usually call me the Black Emperor!”

Lin Fen’s pupils constricted. The Black Emperor, one of the five emperors?

A blood-colored sword instantly condensed in his hand, and his face was extremely vigilant.

Emperor Black smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. I don’t have any ill intentions. I originally planned to go to the Tiannan Crossing to pick you up, but I didn’t expect you to not go ashore there. Fortunately, I met you now.”

Lin Fen was slightly stunned. “Pick me up? Pick me up? Or pick Lin Feng up?”

“Of course it’s you,” the Black Emperor said. “Let’s go. Follow me to the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

Lin Fen did not move and continued to look at the other party warily.

The Black Emperor shook his head and laughed, “Don’t be afraid. I have no ill intentions towards you. There are many things that I can’t explain. If you follow me to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you’ll naturally know.”

“How about this? Zhou Tiansheng knows, right? His and my surname is Zhou. If I say that he’s my descendant, can you be at ease?”

Lin Fen’s pupils constricted. Minister Zhou was the descendant of the Black Emperor?

Although they were humans from two eras and were definitely related by blood, the other party seemed to be more than that.

Lin Fen pondered for a long time before nodding. He decided to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to take a look. Moreover, there seemed to be something there that was attracting him.

Emperor Black also smiled. Then, with a wave of his hand, he instantly disappeared from the spot with Lin Fen.

Nie Zimou, who was still lying in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up to look to the east.

He was naturally Lin Feng, but he was now using Nie Zimou’s identity. He was traveling with Fang Lan and the others to better hide his identity.

However, just now, he suddenly lost his sense of Lin Fen. Before he lost his sense, Lin Fen sent back two names.

The Black Emperor, Zhou Tiansheng!

“Zhou Qianhuang is the Black Emperor’s name. Zhou Tiansheng also has the surname Zhou. What’s the relationship between these two?” Lin Feng mused.

“Now, it seems that a fish has taken the bait. Unfortunately, it seems that I can’t contact it anymore.”

Lin Feng thought to himself, but he wasn’t in a hurry to go east. This was because Lin Fen had clearly encountered the Black Emperor. Now that he was facing a god, he did not have much ability to resist, let alone one of the five emperors.

Moreover, Lin Fen did not seem to be in danger, so there was no need to be anxious.

Perhaps letting Lin Fen stay there first could lead to more rewards, although it wasn’t certain.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng lay back down.

Fang Lan looked at Lin Feng curiously and asked, “Brother Nie, what were you doing just now? You seemed surprised.”

Lin Feng smiled and replied, “I suddenly remembered something. Isn’t it quite far for us to fly to the Great Xia Dynasty like this?”

Fang Lan suggested, “Although it’s a bit of a distance, isn’t it a perfect opportunity for training along the way?”

“Moreover, we’re about to approach Luohe City. The Hong family of Luohe City is a divine-level family. It’s said that Hong Sen is also a divine-level expert on the Divine Ranking List. We might be able to take a look if we go.”

Lin Feng laughed and retorted, “What’s so special about Hong Sen? I’m a future expert on the Divine Ranking List. You can just watch me, can’t you?”

An Yu immediately chimed in with laughter, “Brother Nie, you’re at it again!”

Lin Feng chuckled and didn’t mind. As Nie Zimou, his current persona demanded arrogance and superiority. It was even better if he was a bit haughty.

Fang Lan continued, “It’s probably better if we go take a look. The Hong family is said to have been passed down from the Three Emperors Era and supports the Earth Emperor, Fuxi. Their knowledge of array formations is also quite strong. Maybe Brother Nie can learn something from them.

“And they’re rumored to have a divine-level secret realm. Well, it’s been many years, and it seems to have become an epic-level secret realm now. If we get a chance to explore it, wouldn’t that be even better?”

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up at the mention of a secret realm. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to devour it?

“A family specializing in array formations? I suppose it’s worth taking a look. However, I have a feeling their array formations might not be as advanced as mine,” Lin Feng remarked with a smile.

An Yu giggled, “Brother Nie, you’re quite the talker.”

Fang Lan shook her head, thinking that Nie Zimou was beyond rescue. Ever since being praised by Young Master Feng, he seemed utterly lost.

Lin Feng brushed off the comments. However, he was genuinely intrigued by this Hong family.

“An aristocratic family passed down from the Three Emperors Era, and supporters of the Earth Emperor, Fuxi?” Lin Feng pondered for a moment.

He remembered that the Earth Emperor, Fuxi, had possessed two divine artifacts, the River Diagram and the Book of Luo. Could they be related to the Luo River? Or was he overthinking it?

“Regardless, I should go take a look at that secret realm myself.”

And so, without Fang Lan and An Yu knowing, the carriage gradually picked up speed.

Finally, after a month, they arrived at the Luo River. And right before them lay Luo River City.
