Chapter 5865: The Old Lamp's New Explanation

"I refuse."

"Lord Emperor, what is in the deep void?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.

Liu Changtian turned around, looking at Long Chen, and said, "It doesn't matter what it is. You only need to know that there isn't much time left for you and for this world."

Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. Liu Changtian's tone, why is it similar to that mysterious voice? Always saying there isn't much time left. Could it be the same thing?

"Let's not talk about this heavy topic. I really want to know, when you called me an old lamp that day, what did you mean?" Liu Changtian suddenly changed the subject.

Damn, this turnaround is too fast, no preparation at all? Long Chen was speechless. Liu Changtian's head turns without any warning. Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan were also caught off guard. Just now, everything was calm, and now it suddenly became tense. If you have a weak heart, you might just pass out.

"You're joking. How could I insult you?" Long Chen said awkwardly.

But he knew that once Liu Changtian asked, it was impossible to evade vaguely. This guy had sharp eyes. Long Chen said seriously, "In our human race, the lamp is a symbol of radiance. It burns itself to illuminate others, just as you use your radiance to guide the undead on their path. An old lamp refers to a title of utmost respect when one's seniority, experience, and contributions have reached an unparalleled level."

"Damn, Long Chen, you have no shame."

At this moment, disdainful voices came from the chaotic space. The Qiankun Cauldron, which had just heard Long Chen's explanation of the old lamp, now considered it praise. Most importantly, the explanation was almost perfect, impeccable. From its birth until now, the Qiankun Cauldron had never encountered someone so shameless, adaptable, and quick-witted.

"Really?"

Liu Changtian looked at Long Chen, smiling ambiguously. Obviously, he wasn't so easily fooled. Long Chen solemnly said, "Of course it's true. When the old lamp burns, it continuously adds oil to let its light shine to the fullest. Adding oil, adding oil, is to support the lamp's power, extend its duration, and boost its momentum. That's why we often shout, 'Old lamp, add oil, old lamp, add oil.'"

Seeing Long Chen speak earnestly and seriously, as if this phrase wasn't an insult, Liu Changtian accepted it without further questioning. Having hoodwinked him, Long Chen secretly wiped off a cold sweat. The ancients were right, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger; it's no exaggeration. This guy's temper is really strange.

After chatting for a while, Liu Changtian said solemnly, "Originally, I had a plan to implement after the children advanced to the Emperor Realm. However, it seems that this plan can be advanced now. Long Chen, make good use of your time. I have an important task for you."

"Lord Emperor, please give your orders. Your humble servant will go through fire and water and not hesitate," Long Chen hurriedly saluted, appearing loyal and devoted.

Liu Changtian glanced at Long Chen with a sideways look. This guy is smart to the point of being shameless, climbing up with the slightest opportunity, nailing the relationship with just one sentence, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.

Liu Changtian didn't speak, turned around and left. After he left, Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao couldn't help but jump into Long Chen's arms, excitedly.
