I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head-Novel2

If it could be said that Chai Jin had originally treated Chu Yunfan as an equal, then he no longer thought so. What a joke, they were not on the same level at all.

The gap between Divines was huge. Sometimes, it was even bigger than the gap between Innates and Divines.

To ordinary people, of course, they did not have such an understanding. To them, the Divines were high and mighty existences. Even if there were strong and weak ones, they probably did not expect the difference to be so great.

If Chai Jin had been in Bai Yulin's place, he would have been beaten to a pulp. The only question was how long he could last.

But in front of Chu Yunfan, Bai Yulin was completely beaten up. Chai Jin saw the difference between them as clear as day, and he knew his own limits. If Chu Yunfan wanted to make a move on him, he would be killed in one move.

He wasn't being humble, but rather, it was a kind of intuition. At his level of cultivation, he fully trusted his intuition, because intuition was often the most accurate judgment.

"Chief Chu, thank you for all your help. If you didn't help suppress the prisoners, I don't know what kind of mess it would have been," Chai Jin said after a moment's thought.

Indeed, if it wasn't for Chu Yunfan, it was unimaginable how bad the situation would have become.

Although they could use nuclear bombs, it was a last resort. If they weren't forced to the limit, they wouldn't use them. If they weren't careful, First Prison would collapse. They might even be buried with the place.

"It's nothing. It's my duty, after all. It's a pity that they escaped. Forget about Bai Yulin for now. Who was that old man?" Chu Yunfan asked.

In the battle earlier, compared to Bai Yulin, the old man was the one he was more wary of. Moreover, judging from his attitude, Chai Jin seemed to be extremely afraid of that old man.

"You should recognise him once I say his name. That man was Gao Tenglong," Chai Jin said as he stared intently at Chu Yunfan/

When Chai Jin mentioned Gao Tenglong's name, Chu Yunfan finally understood why Chai Jin was so afraid of him.

This name had become a taboo within the Federation. He was the person who had truly started the Federation's dark era. That era had risen because of him, but it had also been destroyed because of him.

The Federation had a history of a republican system since the beginning of the A.D. era, and had even kept that system after entering the Federation Era.

Gao Tenglong was the only one who had successfully claimed the title of "emperor" within the Federation. He had almost reversed the situation of the Federation with his own power, and was about to become an existence like the Emperor Supreme.

Although he was defeated in the end and was rebuked by the Republican forces, it had been more than twenty years since he became the emperor. That was the beginning of the Dark Age. After him, the authority of the Federation fell to the bottom.

Although they had successfully put out the riot caused by Gao Tenglong, the Federation had been unprecedentedly weak at that time. There had even been unprecedented assassinations of the president, and they had happened more than once.

Starting from Gao Tenglong to the annihilation of the last rebellious Divine, that area had lasted for decades. That was the Dark Age, which was taboo even to the Federation.

Chu Yunfan finally understood why he felt that the old man was so dangerous. Just from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a terrifying person who had once stirred up a storm and almost caused the entire Federation to sink.

As for Gao Tenglong, there were no detailed records of him in history books. They only knew that he had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds after that. In that era, he had turned the tide and repelled the attacks of the demons many times, becoming the great hero of the Federation. Later, he was determined to restore a monarchy system, which was opposed by countless people and eventually failed.

However, in that era where he had acted violently, the Federation couldn't do anything to him. The technology at that time wasn't as developed as the modern era. Tactical nuclear bomb technology was still in its infancy. In that era, he was a god, and even the Federation couldn't do anything to him.

As for how he was captured, the history books didn't describe it in detail. It seemed that there was some secret, but everyone knew that he was the number one master of that time. He was simply like a demon, suppressing an entire era all by himself.

Even now, he was still the strongest. No one could defeat him. Probably only the Federation's President was a match for him.

Of course, this was the official statement. In fact, nobody believed in this judgment. What kind of joke was this? That was a long time ago. Whether it was the development of martial arts or technology, it was far superior to that dark era.

It would be nonsense to say that the people of that era could be on par with the current president.

In the past, Chu Yunfan didn't believe it either. Unless there was a gap in civilization like back during the Ancient Zenith Civilization, each generation was surely stronger than the last. There was no reason for the ancient people to be more powerful than the people of the present. That didn't conform to the development trend.

With the Federation's modus operandi, they wouldn't blindly praise the previous generation to be more powerful than them as each generation was stronger than the lastt.

But now, Chu Yunfan believed it. Gao Tenglong had been locked up for so many years and First Prison must have had some means to restrict his cultivation and recovery. But the feeling he gave Chu Yunfan left him even more afraid of him than Bai Yulin

Chu Yunfan wasn't afraid, but he couldn't be as relaxed as he was when he faced Bai Yulin

And this was after Gao Tenglong was extremely weak. It was simply unimaginable how strong he would be when he truly recovered.

"We've allowed a notorious character to escape," Chu Yunfan lamented.

However, compared to Chai Jin's incomparable fear, Chu Yunfan was less so. No matter how powerful Hao Tenglong was, he was still an ancient relict.

As long as he was given more time, Chu Yunfan was confident that he could surpass Gao Tenglong, even if that man was once known as the world's number one expert.

"Shouldn't he have died during his era?" Chu Yunfan asked.action

Gao Tenglong had been alive for a long time. He was alive when the Federation had just been established and had only started colonizing the Kunlun Realm. When he achieved Dao, it was the most dangerous time for humans.

He should have died a long time ago, given the timeline of that era. Most Divines would have been prepared for their funeral after living for more than two hundred years.

Compared to the Innate Stage, the increase in lifespan of the Divines was not very obvious. Of course, compared to the average person who could not live more than a hundred years, it was still a huge increase.

"As far as I know, he had a fortuitous encounter when he was young. He consumed a heavenly treasure and have went on to live an extremely long life," Chai Jin said with a bitter smile.

"To think that such a dangerous person is imprisoned here... Don't tell me..." Chu Yunfan suddenly understood why such a dangerous person had been kept in prison and not executed.
