Chapter 1022 Something I Can't Grasp?
Lin Yi shed his disguise, revealing his true self—a young and handsome man.

However, those present were not surprised by his appearance.

There was no other way; all their attention was focused on the black behemoth that Lin Yi had summoned.

The giant black hand couldn't maintain its shape completely; its surface occasionally showed liquid-like undulations, and its distinctive color made it incredibly eye-catching.

Juhun is very powerful. Since his divine power level reached the "A" level, Juhun has become the Immortal King's most trusted subordinate.

Highly capable, low-key, and highly obedient.

He secretly did many shady things for the Celestial King and helped him solve many problems.

This is why there is not much information about Soul Gathering, yet he enjoys an extremely high status in the divine realm.

The more tasks are completed, the more rewards the Soul Gatherer will receive. Basically, the Celestial King will reward the Soul Gatherer with anything novel or particularly valuable, just so that the Soul Gatherer can do better for him.

For thousands of years, Soul Gathering has received many rewards, and he has never envied anyone else.

Only the incident in the Nine Netherworlds, and the disappearance of the Divine River Song along with Qin Zhu, the King of the Nine Netherworlds, made Jiu Hun feel quite envious.

That's an external artifact, and an external artifact that can switch forms at will!

In combat, they can unleash tremendous fighting power and create limitless possibilities.

He even begged the Immortal King to find a way to create such a divine artifact for him, but unfortunately, external divine artifacts are not so easy to find.

Sure enough, upon learning that the Fuxi Talisman was about to be born, the Immortal King immediately entrusted the task to Juhun.

The Fuxi Talisman is indeed not the kind of external artifact that can change its form at will, which is inferior to Wuzhiqi's Divine River Ode. However, in terms of practicality and combat power, the Fuxi Talisman is definitely superior to the Divine River Ode.

The moment he received the Celestial King's message, the God of Soul Gathering jumped for joy. You could see his excitement in his reply:

There's no need for mission rewards. I will give my all to complete this mission.

The recollection ended, and the gaze fell upon Lin Yi.

Young people with low divine power levels have limited combat strength and experience.

With Shenhe Song following such a young man, isn't this divine weapon being wasted?

Lin Yi's divine power level is only so high; wouldn't it be easy for me to snatch things from him?

Isn't this basically a buy-one-get-one-free deal?
Thinking of this, Ju Hun's gaze towards Lin Yi began to burn with fervor.

"You are not allowed to interfere in the upcoming battle. Whether it's Helburn and the other two or that kid, leave them all to me."

Helburn and Morris were also watching Lin Yi.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

They never expected that Lin Yi, whose divine power level was only "Geng", could use an illusion to conceal his identity and follow them all the way here right under their noses.

At this moment, both of them had mixed feelings.

Lin Yi intervened in time to save the two, which completely dispelled the anger he felt from the deception.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is that the Immortal King's lineage is being forced to their deaths, and this is the real problem they have to solve.

"The person who shook the rule of the gods was such a young fellow."

"The younger generation is truly formidable," Helburn and Morris exclaimed.

Having learned so many things that others didn't know before their deaths, Helbourne and Maurice's emotions contained a degree of relief.

It is true that the young man who shakes the rule of the gods is trying to help himself.

Judging from their perception, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. Even if all three of them attack together, they have no chance of winning.

"Heh, what can this kid change by standing on your side? His strength is about the same as yours. Even if dozens of you trash came, I wouldn't consider you a threat."

His outrageous remarks didn't provoke any ridicule or sarcasm.

The God of Gathering Souls certainly has the power to say those words.

Finally, the mission was received, allowing the Soul Gathering God to legitimately possess the long-awaited external artifacts, and to make matters worse, two of them arrived. The Soul Gathering God was in a very good mood.

After this arrogant statement, he ignored Helburn and Morris and instead turned his attention to Lin Yi.

"Boy, you must be the one who used the Heaven-Piercing Brahma Sound. If you are not, you can tell me who used the Heaven-Piercing Brahma Sound to tell the world what should not be known. As long as you tell me and honestly hand over the Divine River Song, I can let you leave safely."

"Don't worry, I'm telling the truth. The birth of the Fuxi Talisman doesn't require you to be a sacrifice. As for people, we've already taken care of it. If you only know the facts, I can let you go."

In the eyes of the God of Gathering Souls, Lin Yi's strength at such a young age certainly showed some signs of being a prodigy.

However, judging from Lin Yi's level of divine power, he is definitely not the one who has mastered the Heavenly Piercing Brahma Sound.

The skill "Piercing Heaven's Brahma Sound" is not only relatively advanced in terms of technique, but also has extremely demanding conditions for its release.

The release of this skill requires a large amount of source energy as support.

Lin Yi did indeed possess divine power and the Primordial Chaos, but his body absolutely could not contain such a terrifying amount of source power.

Analyzing these two conditions together, the God of Gathering Souls confidently concluded that Lin Yi was definitely not the one who mastered the Heaven-Piercing Burning Sound.

Ju Hun only wanted to believe that the kid in front of him was a lucky fellow who happened to participate in the Nine Netherworld Changes.

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Morris patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

"Kid, I don't know who you are or why you're hiding behind us, but we don't intend to bother with that."

"You have seen the ugly face of the Celestial King. We have no other expectations. We only hope that you can live on and, one day, when the truth is revealed, you can say these words."

"Just listen to what Juhun said, obediently hand over the item, and tell him everything you know in exchange for your life. The Divine River Song is indeed a good thing, but it is not suitable for you. With your strength, you cannot master it yet."

Helburn looked at Lin Yi, nodded, and agreed with this statement.

Then, meeting the eyes of the Soul Gatherer, those eyes revealed an incomparably calm and confident gaze.

This is brought about by the most supreme divine power.

"Did you hear that? You have good talent and strength, and you're incredibly lucky. Don't risk your life for something you can't control. Come on, hand over the Divine River Ode to me."

He placed his outstretched palm in front of Lin Yi, exuding an air of unquestionable authority.

Seeing the bewildered look on the young man's face, Ju Hun's gloomy smile surprisingly brightened up a bit.

He truly hadn't expected that, in the next instant, the young man in front of him would shake his head without hesitation.
