The moment he saw this middle-aged man, Lin Ye already knew his identity.

"Younger generation greets Alliance Leader Liu!" He bowed and greeted respectfully.

Undoubtedly, the person before him was the strongest in the human world and the leader of the Professional Alliance, a pillar for countless humans to live peacefully amidst the chaos of the Abyss.

Perhaps humans have been at ease for too long, and since this person hasn't appeared in public for a long time, many people don't understand what he represents for the human world.

It can be said that the fact that the numerous Demon Gods of the Abyss do not dare to launch large-scale attacks on the human world is greatly attributed to him.

If not for the existence of Liu Tianyuan, events like alternate space riots would happen frequently, rather than as they do now, with occurrences counted by the year.

Even the gradually occurring disturbances that can cause significant harm are rare and happen once in a decade.

It can be said that in recent decades, since the Abyss descended, humans have lived in the most comfortable and relaxed era.

So much so that most young people now underestimate the dangers of the Abyss to some extent.

In fact, when this person fell, humans immediately plunged into turmoil and misery again, quickly losing many settlements in a short period.

Although several settlements were ultimately stabilized after much bloodshed and effort, the peaceful life of the past was clearly gone.

Humans once again deeply experienced the horror of the Abyss.

Of course, these things are not known to the people of the current human world, and Lin Ye, being a reborn individual, despite knowing everything, has no power to change anything.

After all...

No matter how powerful the Healing Technique, it cannot prolong the life of someone whose lifespan has entirely run out.

That clearly exceeds the domain of healing.

If Healing Techniques could extend lifespan, those old undead in the Church Court wouldn't imprison themselves in the City of Light, controlling the Church Court behind the scenes under the name of the 'Holy Core'.

Although they are still alive, they are no different from the creatures within the Secret Realm, and it could even be said that these former Popes of the Holy Light Church Court have stopped being humans, becoming a type of special life form tethered to the City of Light.

Or rather, these members of the Holy Core are a special kind of 'demon'.

After all, once they give up their human identity, the concept of 'lifespan' no longer exists.

And this is also something Lin Ye figured out only after condensing the Origin Qi Vortex, thus obtaining the qualification to become a Demon God.

Even in his previous life, Lin Ye never knew these things.

Thinking about how the Church Court is controlled by these 'non-humans', the actions of the Church Court over the years aren't hard to understand.

Facing Lin Ye's respect, the middle-aged man slightly nodded, remaining silent for a long time and quietly watching Lin Ye.

After a long time, he finally spoke.

"You're quite impressive."

Such a simple compliment, but coming from this person, is far from simple.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader Liu," Lin Ye said respectfully once more.

"Those Origin Powers were indeed absorbed by you," Liu Tianyuan opened his mouth and said bluntly.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow but wasn't too surprised.

After all, the person before him was only one step away from truly entering the Realm of Transcendence.

A strong individual like this being able to see through the Origin Qi Vortex within his body is naturally not surprising.

Lin Ye just didn't expect the other party to state it so directly.

"Yes, it took this younger generation over three years to absorb all these Origins," Lin Ye admitted.

Upon hearing this, the expression on the opposite side seemed to turn peculiar.

"What a monster, I heard from Gongsun that besides Demon Gods directly born from the Origin, ordinary demons need at least over ten years to absorb an Origin Power and initially condense a Qi Vortex...

But you managed to absorb thirty Origin Powers in just three years,"

Liu Tianyuan was almost pointing at Lin Ye's nose, saying, "You're a natural 'Demon God'."

Lin Ye simply touched his nose, saying nothing.

"Alright, though I don't know how you did it, 'Sikong Ming' should be you, right?" Liu Tianyuan continued to mercilessly expose Lin Ye.

The little tricks Lin Ye had pulled might fool others, but not Liu Tianyuan.

"Exactly, it is I, junior..." Lin Ye readily admitted.

Denying it would have been pointless, only making the other party think of him as a stubborn kid; it was better to admit it directly.

"Not bad, not bad, knowing how to protect yourself!" Liu Tianyuan was quite pleased with Lin Ye's attitude.

"You now have the strength of a Peak Demon Monarch, but I can't see through which Demon God you are behind. Can you tell me?" Liu Tianyuan asked again.

"I've never taken orders from any Demon God, nor have I ever entertained the thought of compromising with one. I am who I am and will always only be myself," Lin Ye shrugged, saying calmly.

Liu Tianyuan looked at Lin Ye with confusion, this silence lasting even longer than at the beginning.

"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you then,"

He eventually gave up on pursuing the matter.

At his level, it doesn't take much to see whether or not someone is human.

However, what deeply puzzled him was that Lin Ye, having condensed something as out-of-place as the Origin Qi Vortex within a human, yet somehow maintained his human identity.

This is very illogical, yet it is reality.

This made him, a few hundred years old man, find it rather fascinating.

Of course, the one thing that could confirm Lin Ye's human identity was his ability to use the power of the Holy Light.

This power born in the human world is something no Abyssal Demon can wield.

Despite feeling a considerable dissonance concerning Lin Ye's attributes, he opted not to inquire further.

Because he knew that persistently asking would certainly lead to probing into Lin Ye's true secrets.

"Is there anything else you wish to ask, senior?" Lin Ye bowed once more.

"No need, your courage to meet me is enough!" Liu Tianyuan waved his hand, tactfully.

Anyway, even if he were to question, Lin Ye surely wouldn't give truthful answers, it was better to let it go.

"Then it's time for me to return," Lin Ye spoke again.

"No rush, go and choose a skill, consider it a reward for your performance these past few years!" Liu Tianyuan added.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye paused slightly, then deeply bowed, saying, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Liu!"
