Chapter 830: You Are All the Protagonists of the World

"Ah, enough. Seeing you like this pains your grandmaster's heart. Since that's the case, I shall elevate your aptitudes to their peak."

"But first, I must wash away the filth upon you."

Lin Fan thought for a moment. At this point, if he didn't offer some benefits, he truly couldn't rekindle the fighting spirit of these prodigies.

A stream of water swirled out from Lin Fan—this was Primordial Water, capable of washing away all filth in heaven and earth. Now that the ancient great demon had perfected the Five Elements, he could wield them at will, granting him immense power.

The Primordial Water coiled like a dragon around each prodigy, and a mysterious force seeped into their bodies, washing away all the filth upon them.

"Ah, it's gone—the stench is gone!"

"Could this be the legendary Primordial Water?"

"Yes, it must be. Grandmaster Lin has cultivated Primordial Water to great perfection, able to wash away all things in the world. What is a little filth compared to that?"

"The grandmaster truly lives up to his name. I tried using Kui Heavenly Water but couldn't wash it off. I thought my life was over, but with the grandmaster's help, we have been reborn."

These prodigies, after all, still lived in the Xuanhuang Realm. Some treasures they never had the chance to obtain.

Take the Primordial Five Elements, for instance. Even if they existed in the Xuanhuang Realm, they would be exceedingly rare.

Thus, in Lin Fan's view, if he had enough Saint Yang Pills, he could perform "Heavenly Bestowal of Treasures" and make the Xuanhuang Realm thoroughly prosperous.

"Alright, I shall now elevate your aptitudes."

This time, Lin Fan was also prepared to go all out.

With the day of the myriad realms' grand opening approaching, Lin Fan dared not claim he had much certainty in suppressing the Heavenly Will. But if he could elevate these prodigies' aptitudes to their peak, perhaps there would be a fighting chance.

These prodigies already had decent aptitudes; now, elevated to their peak state, they would be like fish in water, unmatched in heaven and on earth.

"Elevating aptitudes—only divine pills can do that!"

"Yes, the Xuanhuang Realm has countless techniques, but none that can elevate aptitudes."

"Our cultivation has reached the Divine Heavenly Realm; even in the Ancient Saint Realm, we are considered minor experts. Yet the grandmaster can effortlessly elevate our aptitudes—just how powerful is he?"

"Truly terrifying!"

Lin Fan spread his fingers, as if grasping heaven and earth in his hand. Mysterious forces rippled from his five fingers like water waves, layer upon layer, covering the heads of the prodigies.

"Refine. Elevate."

In an instant, a tremendous aura burst forth from the prodigies.

With the elevation of their aptitudes, the sealed mysteries within these prodigies' bodies were breached like a flood, erupting completely.

Originally, these prodigies' fortune coiled like a dragon above their heads. But now, with Lin Fan elevating their aptitudes, it was as if they had been granted a second chance at life.

Thus, their relationship with Lin Fan would undergo a fundamental change.

Boom!

Fortune soared into the sky, especially with so many gathered, blotting out the entire heavens and earth. With such fortune, who could stop them? They would slay gods and buddhas alike!

Even Wang Xiaoming, under Lin Fan's protection, could be blasted to pieces by this group of prodigies in a single encounter.

Sever!

Lin Fan extended a finger, forming an invisible sword, and directly severed the fortune connected to himself. He grabbed it, condensed it into a fortune pill, and placed it in his backpack.

He would keep this fortune for now. When Wang Xiaoming led these prodigies to their peak, he would return the fortune to them—perhaps something unexpected would happen.

In that instant, all the prodigies were astonished.

"How is this? I feel my aptitude has improved!"

"Me too. Many things I didn't understand before are now crystal clear."

"I've been stuck at the seventh level of the Divine Heavenly Realm for a long time. Now I feel I can break through at any moment and condense a Heavenly Divine Pill."

"This is a change in aptitude!"

Rumble!

At that moment, all the prodigies knelt in excitement, their faces flushed as they shouted.

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for the gift of rebirth!"

The prodigies' fighting spirit blazed anew. They felt filled with boundless power.

Even the demon king Wang Xiaoming, no matter how strong, no longer intimidated them.

"Remember, be fearless. The matters of the upper realm await your resolution. You are all the protagonists of the world, the hope of the future. The future needs you to save it."

Lin Fan nodded calmly, then vanished from the spot.

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

Lin Fan's final words stirred the prodigies' hearts. They were the protagonists of the world, the hope of the future—the entire world needed them to save it!

At that moment, they felt the weight on their shoulders grow heavy, as if they stood on the earth and carried the whole world on their backs.

With a casual remark, Lin Fan filled all the prodigies with hope and ignited their fighting spirit even more fiercely than before.

This was exactly what Lin Fan wanted to see.

Ten thousand miles away.

Wang Xiaoming roamed cheerfully between heaven and earth.

What had happened this time was nothing new to Wang Xiaoming. For a hundred years, this group had besieged him many times, but each time, he had tricked them badly—a fact that thrilled him.

"Heh, these idiots think they can get me? Don't they know who I am?"

"This time, I should visit another city. Bullying people is really satisfying, but more and more people hate me now. If that doubles, it'll be trouble."

At that moment, Wang Xiaoming was pondering life's big questions. For a hundred years, he had played nonstop, but strangely, just playing casually improved his cultivation, and it kept getting higher. This made him feel that life was truly joyful.

Yet sometimes, Wang Xiaoming also felt tired, but there was no turning back.

"Sigh..."

Wang Xiaoming sighed, feeling uncertain about the future.

"Xiaoming..."

Just then, a voice came from behind Wang Xiaoming. Startled, his expression changed—someone had approached him silently without his notice. This made him a bit nervous.

But when he saw who it was, Wang Xiaoming's expression shifted dramatically, becoming one of excitement.

"Uncle Lin..."

At that moment, Wang Xiaoming felt the world brighten.

"Waa..."

The demon king Wang Xiaoming burst into loud sobs, threw himself down, and hugged Lin Fan's leg. "Uncle, save me..."
