Mysterious voice

The mysterious voice (神秘声音) is something that Long Chen occasionally hears throughout the novel, first in Phoenix Cry Empire. The identity of the voice is currently unknown.
Note this is different from the Pill Emperor, a mysterious figure he sometimes sees when doing things like using the Great Brahma Scripture. This is also different from the ancient voice.
Long Chen can only hear this voice when he's completely exhausted and unconscious, but trying to maintain the mental connection will exhaust him rapidly even in the World King realm.
== Identity ==
* It is not the Pill Emperor's voice.
* It is not the dragon expert's voice.
*It claims to be the awakener and guide of the nine-star descendants.ch4048

He then heard some extremely distant sounds. Those sounds seemed human, one sounding like a woman. Then, he sank into complete and endless darkness.
Within that darkness, Long Chen felt as if his body was floating. It felt like he was both rising and falling at the same time. He was completely trapped within that darkness.
"You must awaken. You have far too many missions that are waiting for you to finish them.
"You must become stronger. You have far too many enemies waiting for you to slaughter.
"Your destiny is to overturn heaven and earth. All gods and devils can only crawl under your foot. Long Chen, quickly awaken."
Within that endless darkness, Long Chen could hear a voice repeatedly speaking. That was a call that came from the deepest depths of his soul.
Long Chen heard it and wanted to reply. However, he was unable to open his mouth. He wanted to open his eyes, but he was completely powerless.
That voice didn't seem to be of this world. Could it be that it was part of the past or future? He was unable to touch it.
Once Long Chen memorized those three lines, he completely lost any sense of himself. Sinking into complete unconsciousness, he extremely faintly felt a pair of hands gently rubbing his face, a gentleness that felt like that of a mother.
== Volume 4 ==
In the Jiuli realm, when getting saved by Yue Xiaoqian, LC once again hears the mysterious voice.
Within that endless darkness, he heard a voice sighing:
Time is running out.
That voice seemed to come from incredibly far away. It contained a trace of regret, as well as a trace of helplessness.
Long Chen could clearly hear that voice. He wanted to open his eyes to see where it was coming from.
But he felt as if his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and no matter how he struggled, he was unable to open them.
The day the ties between worlds finally breaks will be the day all Ten Worlds' living creatures will be destroyed. Are you still unable to gather your resolve?
That voice sighed: "I can't hear anything you say. We are not in the same spacetime. Please grow up faster, as we need you.
"Heir of the Nine Star Hegemon Body, quickly awaken. Otherwise, it really will be too late."
Long Chen felt as if he was exploding from some kind of pressure. 
But his roar faded within the endless darkness. He suddenly opened his eyes, seeing a maiden in front of him.
That ancient voice with its urgent tone. It really will be too late.
Long Chen had never understood just how those Pill Emperor memories had suddenly appeared in his head.
But the one thing he knew was that after he had merged with those Pill Emperor memories, his fate had completely changed. He would need to resolve this riddle step by step.
However, this riddle was too large and had surpassed Long Chen's imagination. Thinking about how that voice had continuously said time was running out, an indescribable sense of crisis filled him.
== Volume 5 (Enlightenment Palace) ==
Endless darkness appeared before him. It was like the entire world had been devoured by it.
Long Chen was extremely familiar with this scene. It had appeared several times now. As expected, after the darkness appeared, that voice once more rang out.
“I’ve sensed you again, meaning your strength has once more risen. However, the world barrier grows weaker and weaker. I can barely sense you now.
“Perhaps I will never be able to communicate with you through the ten planar worlds again. All you need to know is that the fate of millions of lives is in your hands. You have to…”
Suddenly, Long Chen felt a powerful vibration within this dark world, and somehow the darkness grew even darker, so dark that it caused despair. The voice also came to a sudden stop.
Now, Long Chen had confirmed this voice was not the voice of the dragon expert. He didn't know where it was coming from. But each time it appeared, he would feel like his head was lost in a haze.
He felt more and more pressed for time, but as for why, he was unable to tell. That made him extremely vexed.
If he knew what the reason behind this was, perhaps he could come up with some way to handle it. But Long Chen had no idea what the danger this voice kept speaking of was. That was what irritated him the most.
"Pill Sovereign memories? Nine Star Hegemon Body Art? Ten planar worlds? What are they...?"
== Volume 7 ==
Mysterious voice calls Long Chen the 'son of fate' (see karmic luck).
== Volume 8 ==
=== Pill Valley ===
They already know the plan and are slaughtering divine sprouts in every direction. We won’t be able to last much longer. Hurry, Long Chen. While we still haven’t been annihilated, grow up as much as possible. Otherwise, the ten planar worlds’ millions of lifeforms will be completely exterminated.
=== Eastern Xuan Region ===
“Although I don’t know where you are, I can sense your existence. However, the barrier between the ten planar worlds is weakening, and spacetime is chaotic. It’s difficult for me to transmit my voice to you. Perhaps you’ve already gotten tired of hearing this, but let me repeat myself: time is running out. If you cannot grow up before the ten planar worlds are destroyed, everything will be over.”
=== With Yue Xiaoqian (Divine Gate) ===
“I can sense you again.”
Just as Long Chen was feeling relaxed, that ancient and familiar voice rang out in his head.
“So what if you can feel it? You can’t even hear me, and I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Long Chen brushed off this irritating voice.
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand me. All you need to know is that if you continue like this, you and every person beside you will die to others. Furthermore, their deaths will be very miserable,” responded the voice.
“You… you can hear me?!”
“Don’t talk about such meaningless things. Long Chen, although our connection has been sporadic, we have been paying close attention to you from the start. You are too weak. Or perhaps I should say that you are too soft. Even now, you aren’t cultivating according to the will of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Geniuses are solitary figures. Only mediocre people group together. Do you still not understand the meaning of the Hegemon Body?” asked that voice rebukingly.
“Perhaps I really don’t know what the true meaning of the Hegemon Body is. But I am clear about my own goals. If a person abandons the ones they love in order to get stronger, they will lose their future motivation and path. What’s the point of being a hegemon if you’ve lost your path?”
Long Chen had already stopped caring about this voice. He had lost his initial curiosity a long time ago. In fact, he even felt a bit of disgust toward it. Each time, it only told him to hurry up but never cared about his feelings.
Each day, he was fighting on the border of death, and he was under enough pressure. However, this voice kept urging him on, not giving him any useful information. 
“Perhaps. I am not qualified to criticize the great heir of the nine stars. However, I have a responsibility to warn you. Your time is running out. Your enemies have passed through the wall of reincarnation, and they are searching for you through all kinds of tiny traces. Once they find you, you and the people beside you, and perhaps everyone on that star, will be annihilated. They will not permit any heir of the nine stars to exist within the ten planar worlds,” sighed the voice.
Long Chen calmly considered this information for a moment. “Tell me, who am I?”
“You are you.”
“Then why have I been thrown into this chaotic vortex?”
“Because you are the chosen son of fate. You have no way out. You can only get stronger or die. Furthermore, your life and death relates to the entire ten planar worlds, to the continuation of millions of stars. As the heir of the nine stars, you have this heavy burden. You-Buzz.
Just as the voice was still speaking, Long Chen felt a burst of pain in his head. An unfamiliar voice stabbed into his soul like a needle.
“Hehe, I’ve finally found a nine star heir. Just wait for your death.”
The voice’s demonic laughter made Long Chen’s blood turn ice-cold. At the same time, he felt this person leaving behind a mark in his mind-sea.
BOOM!
However, the mark had just formed when a cyan light and a black saber-light exploded. Evilmoon and the Heaven Flipping Seal worked together to destroy the mark.
Long Chen’s body shook. When he opened his eyes, the voices in his head had vanished. His face was a bit pale, but there was a sharp light in his eyes.
=== Terrifying expert ===
“How dangerous. That person was able to reach you from a whole other world, discarding any spatial restrictions to leave a spiritual mark.”
Evilmoon’s voice contained a trace of shock. It had immediately sensed something wrong and worked together with the Heaven Flipping Seal to erase the spiritual mark, but this had still made it jump.
Clearly, some terrifying expert had managed to eavesdrop on his conversation with that mysterious voice. That expert was also able to leave a mark on his soul from a different world. This kind of technique was something he had never heard of.
Long Chen had no idea who those people were, or what they wanted. That made him feel uneasy, as well as angry.
“Don’t worry, although that fellow is so powerful that they are beyond our imagination, the Heaven Flipping Seal and I destroyed their spiritual mark instantly, so they won’t be able to pinpoint your location. However, you also can’t be careless. That person was able to leave a spiritual mark on you from an endless distance away, without you even being able to resist. They won’t be able to lock onto any of the stars, but they’ll be able to narrow it down to one area. It’s just that we have no idea how narrow that area is. Either way, you are really pressed for time,” said Evilmoon gravely.
“How strong do you feel that person is?” asked Long Chen. 
“I can’t tell. Perhaps only Sovereigns would be able to block them though,” said Evilmoon after a moment’s pause. It couldn’t be sure.
Long Chen shook his head. Sovereigns were legendary existences on the Martial Heaven Continent. Only five had ever appeared in history.
Just how powerful had Evilmoon been back then? Despite that, it hadn’t been able to even receive a single blow from Sovereign Yun Shang and had been forged into a divine weapon.
Furthermore, Evilmoon said that Sovereigns would only be able to resist, not win. That level of power was enough to cause despair.
When the mark on Long Chen’s soul was destroyed, he also lost his connection to the mysterious voice. Long Chen guessed that the voice had sensed that it was being watched by someone else, which was how that terrifying expert had found him in the first place.
Now that Long Chen had been noticed, that voice probably wouldn’t contact him again for fear of implicating him. 
“Long Chen, that voice is correct. Although I don’t understand your cultivation technique, I can sense that you are suppressing it. Like this, you are cultivating in the opposite direction the cultivation technique is trying to go, and you naturally won’t be able to cultivate as fast. You need to fully release yourself,” said Evilmoon.
Long Chen says that he can fully unleash the power of the NSHBA, but then it would go out of his control, and he would become a slave to it. If he fully adhered to the hegemon way of NSHBA, that would mean everybody else had to kneel before him, friend or foe, but Long Chen still cared about his friends, which is why he had been suppressing the NSHBA (Nine Star Hegemon Body Art#Suppression, Evil Dragon#Wild arrogance).
== Volume 12 ==
While in the Vermillion Bird Empire after LC passes out from overusing the purgatory eye, he finally hears the voice again. The Chaos Dragon Emperor starts talking too and after telling off the voice he proceeds to explain to LC that the voice is the nine star guide for all the Nine Star Descendant. But because LC has changed the art there is no reason to continue listening to it.
=== Notes ===
*The mysterious voice says 'you are you' which is what the Pill Emperor also says to Long Chen earlier
*The mysterious voice again mentions that Long Chen is the son of fate, as well as the ten worlds, time running out, enemies attacking, etc.
*In this scene it is mentioned there are multiple voices. It says an 'unfamiliar voice' stabbed into his soul. The unfamiliar voice says it has found a nine star heir and had a demonic laughter. IT left a mark in Long Chen's mind-sea, which Evilmoon and the cyan brick remove.
