Chapter 1046 Applying Kindness to Others
The most regrettable thing this time was that the high gods were thrown into the lake as sacrifices.

If Lin Yi killed all these people, he couldn't even believe how much benefit he would gain.

After he finished cleaning up all the spoils of war and fully utilizing the divine power absorbed by the Soul Severing Technique, his divine power had successfully undergone a leapfrog upgrade.

By opening his skill panel, Lin Yi could clearly see his divine power level:

E: 10/6666!

The fact that Lin Yi was able to participate in this secret realm was thanks to his subordinates, who obtained important information by chance. Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have known about such an important secret realm.

Before entering the secret realm, Lin Yi had made a lot of mental preparations.

After all, those who entered this secret realm were mostly big shots among the high-ranking gods, especially those from the Immortal King camp. Any one of them could easily surpass Lin Yi in divine power.

It's no exaggeration to say that without the help of Wuzhiqi or the Great Sage, it would have been almost impossible for Lin Yi to defeat a high-level god whose divine power level far surpassed his own.

Whether it was Lin Yi himself, or Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage, they all thought that having life-saving skills as a backup was a good idea, and that it would be nice to enter the secret realm to seek some opportunities. They never dared to think that Lin Yi could obtain the external artifact Fuxi Talisman.

But the truth is just that incredible.

Everything was just right. Given the power disparity between the Immortal King, Fuxi Talisman, and Lin Yi, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Yi was like an ant benefiting from a fight between a clam and a snipe.

Lin Yi collected so many natal artifacts, including the Soul Gathering Banner of the Soul Gathering God. These items can be recycled and refined to extract a considerable amount of artifact essence. These are extremely rare resources that can greatly enhance Lin Yi's combat power.

Of course, one cannot linger in the secret realm.

Lin Yi knew that the Immortal King must have special tools to monitor the life and death of his subordinates, and staying in this secret realm would inevitably attract a large number of pursuers.

If his whereabouts are discovered, even if he successfully hides in the undead space, there are still some powerful figures in the Immortal King camp who can drag Lin Yi out of that undead space.

So Lin Yi decided to say a simple goodbye and leave.

"Are you two big shots planning to come and get me? You haven't even chosen to leave yet."

Helburn and Morris knew that Lin Yi's use of the word "boss" had no sarcastic meaning, but it still sounded quite awkward.

Having ended everything, Lin Yi dispelled the River of Time and Space, donned mechanical wings, and flew out.

Judging from Lin Yi's spotless attire, it's easy to see that he won the battle against Fuxi Fu, and if nothing unexpected happened, he won quite easily.

"How could we dare to say we'd be there to support you? We just wanted to witness your victory. We never expected you to actually defeat Fuxi Fu. You really did stand out from the many powerful figures in the secret realm and become the ultimate victor."

"A genius like you would probably have a chance to kill even a top-tier god with a divine power level of A. Alright, it's time for you to make your move."

Helburn's words were not exaggerated at all; Lin Yi had indeed perfectly accomplished what seemed impossible.

As for having Lin Yi take action, Lin Yi found it rather strange.

"All of this is just good luck. I don't have your exaggerated strength. As for you asking me to kill you, that's absurd. I can't say for sure who you are, but I have a lot of confidence. If you wanted to betray me, you wouldn't be waiting for me at the exit of this secret realm."

After saying that, Lin Yi waved his hand, which was imbued with the power of the source, gently in front of the two of them.

Hundreds of golden orbs of varying sizes floated before Helburn and Morris. Indeed, these were the treasures Lin Yi had brought out from the secret realm.

The treasure is not as valuable as the Fuxi Talisman, but it is still extremely precious.

Lin Yi laid these items out in front of the two of them, meaning they could choose whatever they wanted.

Among the nearly two hundred high-level gods who entered the secret realm, Helburn and Morris were in the middle to lower ranks in terms of strength. Even so, the two planned to take Lin Yi, whose identity had been mistaken for Lin Yi's, to seize a treasure.

Lin Yi felt compelled to repay their kindness.

"You can either come with me and choose whatever you want, or you can leave and choose whatever you want. However, once you leave, our friendship in this secret realm will end here. If we are on different sides next time we meet, I will show no mercy."

Lin Yi spoke calmly, and even though the two sensed that Lin Yi's divine power level had now surpassed theirs, it did not bring them any sense of pressure.

Helburn and Maurice exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with helplessness.

When the strong conquer the weak, they always use a combination of kindness and coercion, offering two options: one is to give benefits, and the other is to threaten them.

Lin Yi's style was completely different from theirs. He offered two options without any pressure. That damned personal charm almost moved Helburn and Morris.

Unfortunately, both of them had righteous to the point of being wicked, making it impossible for them to betray their leader. No matter how much they wanted to follow Lin Yi, they had no choice but to endure it.

"Haha, then we can only decline your offer. We've always believed that our boss has treated us quite well. You want us to betray him? We simply can't do it. So, you know, we won't take the things."

After Helburn finished speaking, he and Maurice made a farewell gesture to Lin Yi, then turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned their heads, they saw Lin Yi blocking their only way.

Could it be that Lin Yi has regretted his decision and plans to silence the two of them completely by killing them?
Helburn and Morris expressed their understanding of this.

Lin Yi's divine power level is not high, so it's understandable that he's cautious in his actions, even if these two don't intend to report anything about Lin Yi to their superiors.

After exchanging a glance, the two concealed all their auras and lowered all their defenses.

They knew that with Lin Yi's abilities, there was no doubt that he could keep them alive. Since Lin Yi had saved their lives anyway, they didn't resist.

To their surprise, Lin Yi's next words left them both speechless, both amused and exasperated:

"Gentlemen, let's go, sure, but you each have to take at least one item. Once you've taken the items, we'll be in cahoots, and the chances of you betraying me will be much lower, right?"

Lin Yi's true intention was not this.

If you suspect someone, don't let them go; if you let someone go, don't suspect them.

This approach is intended to thoroughly understand the relationship between the two parties.

Lin Yi would never do something like that involving the Virgin Mary; he didn't want to add any psychological burden to himself during crucial moments in the future.
