Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Lin Fan did not know.
He was a little cautious, but he could not sense any malice from the other party.
However, he was more casual. The person in front of him was the only person in the entire universe who had transcended the limits of civilization. From what he said, it seemed that his status was higher than Lin Hong's.
Why would such a person appear in front of him?
"Don't worry, I'm just here to talk to you. I don't mean anything else."
It was still the same excuse, which made Lin Fan nod noncommittally.
"Lin Fan, I'm most curious about you. In the original Ten God-Making Plans of Alfate, other than Lin Hong who thought highly of you humans, no one else thought you would succeed."
"In fact, at the beginning of the plan, I've already deduced the future of mankind. It can be said that out of ten thousand deductions, 9,999 of them resulted in the extinction of mankind before they could even leave the Milky Way."
"The remaining time, although we succeeded in unifying the Milky Way, the entire civilization was quickly destroyed by the Zergs."
"However, the development of reality was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did you unify the entire Milky Way at the fastest speed, you even used only a few decades to complete a breakthrough that other civilizations could only achieve after tens of thousands of years."
"It was also at that time that I really paid attention to the human civilization that was both familiar and unfamiliar to us, the Alfate civilization!"
"As for what happened after that, you should know. Lin Hong chose a method that was close to mutual destruction for the sake of mankind, imprisoning himself and Fain."
"I thought that things would come to an end here. At least, there shouldn't be much change in human civilization for hundreds of years, but I never thought …"
"It's only been a few decades, and you've crossed several dimensions again and reached a level 8 technological civilization. In terms of dark energy technology, you're not much worse than the world's technological civilizations!"
As if reminiscing, Lin Aotian slowly recounted the past.
However, Lin Fan's focus was on a few key words that occasionally appeared in his words.
For example …
The Ten God-Making Plans!
Sure enough, as he had guessed, Alfate's God-Making Plans did not only involve mankind, but a total of ten.
Did this mean that all eggs should not be placed in the same basket?
Or for example …
The Alfate civilization had once deduced the development of mankind.
Of course, the results of this recommendation were quite tragic for the humans. Even the best result was that they were destroyed by the Zergs after unifying the Milky Way.
In short, no matter what they did, they would be destroyed in the end!
According to what Lin Aotian said, if it weren't for Lin Hong's insistence back then, the human civilization might have been rejected by the God Making Plan from the very beginning.
And …
All in all, Lin Aotian's words had helped Lin Fan understand a lot of things, especially the part about the development of mankind.
If he hadn't transmigrated back then, humanity would really be in the midst of the apocalypse. Not to mention unifying the Milky Way, unifying the local group of galaxies, and unifying the local supercluster of galaxies, the probability of defeating the Oxus Empire at the start of the game and walking out of this place was definitely less than 1%.
Lin Aotian was right when he said that the results would not be good even after tens of thousands of delays!
"We are very grateful for Lin Hong's help back then and will always remember it in our hearts!"
"However, I don't think Sir Lin Aotian is here today just to reminisce about the past with me. Did something happen?"
Lin Fan did not believe that Lin Aotian was here just to chat with him.
He guessed that there were only two possibilities for Lin Aotian's visit.
The first possibility was that the Federation's expansion plan in the past five years was disrupted, or even one of the Ten God-Making Plans of the Alfate civilization was ruined.
Therefore, Lin Aotian came directly to question them and asked the Federation to stop expanding in that direction!
However, when Lin Aotian first appeared, he had already said that he would not pursue the Federation's actions. Lin Fan also believed that there was no need for him to lie to him about this matter.
The second possibility would be …
The entire God-Making Plans or the Outerverse invasion had undergone some major changes that forced him to appear in person to explain.
However, Lin Fan could not guess what major changes had occurred. After all, he was not a god. He could make a reasonable guess, but it was impossible for him to be omniscient!
Lin Fan's brain was spinning rapidly as he continued to speculate and think. Suddenly, he thought of something …
Not good!
"Alright, stop guessing over there. I came here with the intention of telling you all these things!"
Sure enough, Lin Fan was helpless when he saw Lin Aotian smiling at him.
No matter what he was thinking, Lin Aotian would know.
It seemed like …
In the future, he would have to control his thoughts in front of Lin Aotian and not think too much.
"Don't show such an expression. The reason why I can hear your thoughts is actually just a high-level use of dark energy. Take your son, Lin Yu, for example. If he was in front of me, I would definitely not be able to hear anything in his heart."
"In the end, it's because your talent in dark energy is too weak. Until now, you're only a Rank 7 dark energy user. That's why I can hear your thoughts."
Alright, this hit Lin Fan's weak spot …
It could not be helped. Just as Lin Aotian said, Lin Fan's talent in dark energy was too weak. No, it should be said that he did not have any talent in dark energy at all!
Even if he had exhausted all methods in the past few decades to finally obtain the adaptability to dark energy, it was really just obtaining it.
As for the Rank 8 dark energy user that Lin Aotian mentioned, which was the Federation's Rank C dark energy user, it was already Lin Fan's limit.
The key was that Lin Aotian also said that as long as Lin Yu went one step further, he would also have this ability.
It did not matter that Lin Yu was his son, but the problem was that as more and more people in the Federation broke through, would everyone he met be able to hear his thoughts when he went out for a walk?
That was too scary!
"It seems like I have to think of something. I don't want everyone around me to be able to hear my thoughts in the future …"
Lin Fan smiled bitterly again and said helplessly.
"You don't have to worry about this. As for why you don't have any talent in dark energy, after seeing you, I already have the answer. It's not difficult to solve this problem, but let's get back to the main topic first …"
"The real reason why I came to see you today!"
At this point, Lin Aotian's expression finally changed. It was extremely serious!
When Lin Fan saw the change in Lin Aotian's expression, he also became serious.
He knew that the main event …
It was about to begin!
