Chapter 1024 Overconfident Victory
No, to be precise, it's about betting with yourself when you have absolutely no stakes.

If this were a deity, it would be absolutely impossible for them to agree to it.

When overwhelming superiority is the only option, a matter of force will suffice; not a single word of unnecessary chatter will be wasted.

But this method works on the God of Gathering Souls.

He had been high and mighty for too long, and his life was more mundane than anyone else's. He really didn't mind having some fun with Lin Yi, who was so interesting to meet.

"Haha, you little rascal, you're really something. Your shamelessness and fearlessness are something I've never seen before in my life."

"Anyway, I have plenty of time to complete this task. I have plenty of time now, so I'll play along with you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"If you truly disturb my resolve and I harbor thoughts of killing you, then you have defeated me, and I will let you go, how about that?!"

There's another surprise?!
Not to mention Lin Yi, even Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage within him were stunned.

Can information asymmetry really bring such an advantage?
The two who witnessed the whole thing were well aware of the current situation.

The purpose of this trip is to obtain the external divine artifact, the Fuxi Talisman, a fact personally stated by Juhun.

He made no attempt to hide anything about the giant golden lake.

A sufficient number of offerings need to be placed inside for the Fuxi Talisman to appear in the world.

After Ju Hun finished speaking, Lin Yi's [All-Seeing Eye] suddenly became clear, and he immediately changed his analytical approach, analyzing the golden giant from a completely new perspective.

With the key information deciphered, the analysis became much faster this time.

Juhun was right, he wasn't lying.

To make the Fuxi Talisman appear in the world, one hundred and eight gods with different kinds of divine power must be gathered.

To ensure this, the Celestial King had already made meticulous calculations to ensure that the Fuxi Talisman could be born at the perfect time and in the gentlest possible state, so that his subordinates could successfully subdue it.

In other words, the remaining two sacrifices must be Helburne and Maurice, and no one can interfere before they enter the Golden Lake; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Yi was confident he could anger the God of Soul Gathering precisely because of this.

He knew very well that if the sacrificial ceremony was disrupted, even if he, the God of Soul Gathering, was in this instance, he would most likely not be able to successfully subdue the Fuxi Talisman.

For Lin Yi, provoking the God of Soul Gathering was incredibly easy.

Therefore, Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage were so shocked when they heard these words, astonished that Lin Yi could actually outmaneuver a high-level god with a divine power level of A.

"As expected, a high god is a high god, and a strong person is a strong person. The reason for making a bet with someone is so refreshing and unconventional. Regardless of the outcome, I, Lin Yi, am impressed by your speech, God of Soul Gathering."

And so, the bet was made.

The gods of the Celestial King faction present couldn't help but feel envious of the Soul Gathering Technique.

Who would have thought that while subduing an external artifact, one would encounter another opportunity to subdue an external artifact?

Moreover, the content of the bet was surprisingly advantageous to the Soul Gathering.

To put it bluntly, even if Lin Yizhen did something that could anger Ju Hun, Ju Hun could simply endure it and the outcome would be decided.

Besides, how could Lin Yi possibly anger the God of Soul Gathering? Unleashing his full speed to launch a surprise attack on the God of Soul Gathering, or forcing the God of Soul Gathering into a fierce battle, and thus angering the God of Soul Gathering, is unrealistic.

They simply couldn't see any chance that Lin Yi had of winning.

Lin Yi calmly assumed an attack stance, aimed his fist at Ju Hun, and then posed a seemingly presumptuous question.

"Your Excellency, are you not planning to defend yourself or interrupt my attack?"

He was incredibly proud of his Soul Gathering technique, which was far inferior to Lin Yi's own strength. He truly looked down on defense.

Immediately, the God of Soul Gathering smiled slightly, adopting a posture that encouraged Lin Yi to attack freely, with a hint of provocation. "Don't worry, not only will I not interrupt your attack, but everyone on our side will as well. In order to convince you, I am willing to restrain myself and my subordinates."

Lin Yi gave a wicked smile.

He then activated his martial soul skill—[Hair Clone].

Suddenly, twelve identical physical clones appeared behind Lin Yi.

A physical clone—you know, summoning this clone can only be considered one move.

Whatever attacks the clones make next will only count as one move.

The Soul Gathering Technique sensed an aura identical to Lin Yi's from Lin Yi's twelve clones.

Due to the difference in strength between the two sides, Juhun clearly sensed that the aura emitted by Lin Yi's clone was a real fluctuation of energy, not some kind of illusion.

"A clone that's basically identical to the original data, and they're all physical entities. You're really impressive, little one. A full twelve clones! This clone technique truly surpasses most people."

Lin Yi did not deny the praise for Gathering Souls.

To say that the ability to create clones from a single hair is a divine skill is not an exaggeration at all.

The quantity has increased, but the quality has not changed. Lin Yi knows very well that even if the twelve hair-like clones attack the Soul Gathering Sect together, the Soul Gathering Sect can easily deal with it.

A master at the Soul Gathering level can only be dealt with by someone even more powerful.

"Thank you for the compliment, Soul Gathering Master. But you really have to hold back your anger now."

Juhun beckoned to Lin Yi, signaling him to launch an attack.

As Lin Yi's finger fell, the twelve clones launched an attack on the God of Soul Gathering at almost the same moment, unleashing all their law skills and forbidden spells in a frenzied torrent.

They seemed determined to kill him without giving up.

The dazzling array of skills painted the sky red.

Let's make this secret place less monotonous.

The activation of dozens of forbidden spells in an instant was astonishing even to the high-ranking gods.

Four of the Immortal King's men were in the open, while the rest were in the shadows.

However, they were all carefully observing the battle between Juhun and this interesting young man.

They clearly noticed two very puzzling things about Lin Yi's clones when they unleashed their skills.

One of them is that Lin Yi's clones do not need to chant when releasing high-level skills.

Even the highest-ranking gods can hardly do this.

Secondly, when he uses his skills, Lin Yi can always unleash several identical high-level skills in one go.

This special attribute is particularly extraordinary.

While few gods can unleash high-level skills without chanting or casting animations, at least some can.

When it comes to unleashing several identical high-level skills in one go, no god in the entire universe can do that.

"Wow, this kid is really good. If he's given enough time to grow, his future is limitless!"

"Who can argue with that? Judging from his current abilities, he should be very good at taking on challenges of a higher level."
