One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 1061 History Book, Written for the Victors

Anxing's intelligence organization is quite sophisticated, and the amount of information it possesses is comparable to that of the gods who control the Three Realms and Six Paths. It is already quite remarkable for a person with divine power to appear in a lower plane, but this kid Lin Yi actually possesses divine skills.

Lin Yi can do things that most high-level gods can't do. Is this setting correct? That's a divine skill!
Given Lin Yi's reliability, he wouldn't joke around at a life-or-death moment like this.

With a thought, the external artifact, Divine River Song, appeared beside Lin Yi and assumed a defensive stance, completely enveloping Lin Yi within it.

Gongshu De's gaze was completely drawn to Lin Yi.

The Divine River Ode actually fell into the hands of that brat Lin Yi!
That's a top-tier external artifact that the entire Three Realms and Six Paths have been searching for since the Nine Netherworld Incident! What incredible luck did this kid have to get it?

The sticky black liquid writhed around Lin Yi, emanating a chilling aura.

At this moment, Gongshu finally understood the source of Lin Yi's confidence in daring to take action against Zhanli.

The Soul-Severing Decree, held horizontally across the chest, was humming softly. The gray luster that flickered on it was actually quite dim, yet it gave people a rather dazzling illusion.

Seeing that the old man Gongshu was staring at him in a daze, Shenhe Song transformed into a hand and gently tapped the old man Gongshu's head.

"You just told Tremor not to get distracted, but aren't you doing the same thing? Alright, Tremor is here with his men, get ready."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Zhan Li led sixteen more powerful warriors to attack the two of them.

At this moment, trembling, with a trace of blood still remaining at the corner of his mouth, his gaze was like a torch, fixed on the old man Gongshu and Lin Yi in front of him, his contempt for Lin Yi completely swept away.

In order to achieve his goal smoothly, he even lowered his stance.

Trembling, he stretched out his hand, signaling his slightly agitated subordinates behind him to retreat for the time being.

He then adjusted his breathing and mindset, slowly walked up to Lin Yi and the old man Gongshu, extended his hand, and, not hesitating to lower himself, began to negotiate terms with Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, this is the first time I've ever done something so short-sighted. I have to admit, your strength far exceeds my expectations. Fighting you will indeed be quite troublesome."

"Your fighting skills are even superior to mine. It is undeniable that you have the ability to protect yourself in a short time, but you cannot harm my people in the slightest. Therefore, you cannot defeat them. Delaying them for a few minutes is not a problem, but have you considered how you will deal with yourself after I have dealt with Old Man Gongshu? Will you be our opponent?"

Zhanli's words were very straightforward. He told Lin Yi to seriously consider whether his future should stop here, and to think that he didn't actually have much affection for the old man Gongshu. There was no need to gamble his life for the sake of an old man like Gongshu.

"You played a decisive role in the Nine Netherworlds Incident. Only the higher-ups of Dark Rise know about this, which is why you haven't been targeted by the gods yet. If this were to get out, you know the consequences."

478 stars, very quiet.

It was so quiet you could hear the calm breathing of the trembling creature.

Hearing these words from trembling lips made the old man Gongshu's face turn very ugly.

The reason for Lin Yi's grim expression was not that he had been threatened, but that Zhan Li had grown up!
How proud he was at first.

He believed in solving all problems with fists and force.

Let alone those weaker than himself, he planned to confront even enemies far stronger than himself.

But the trembling now has changed.

He became more flexible and adaptable. He stopped valuing his pride as much and even started to analyze situations and resolve problems through negotiation.

"Heh, Trembling, you know that only a few of us high-ranking members know about this. If that's the case, aren't you afraid that you'll be hunted down by Anxing for leaking information? Don't tell me you've turned to the gods. You've killed so many of them. Do you think the Celestial King will let you off the hook?"

Lin Yi patted the old man Gongshu on the shoulder and said calmly.

"Stop talking. You're the one who leaked my identity."

"It's me?" Old Man Gongshu pointed at Lin Yi with his finger, his eyes filled with endless confusion.

She had been saved by Lin Yi's kindness, so why would she betray him?

"Don't be surprised. Think about it carefully, it's not hard to understand. You've left Dark Rising now, right? It was premeditated for Tremor to take people back and then say that you left the organization, just to leak the news to the Gods."

As he spoke, Lin Yi pointed to the trembling.

"He then told the higher-ups at Dark Star that he had to kill you to stop you from leaking information, but he still couldn't stop you from leaking information, nor could he stop the gods from killing me. Does this mean he's shifted all the blame onto himself?"

Me, me, you, you!

Gongshu's eyes were filled with shock.

The truth cannot be distorted like this by trembling; everything must be based on evidence, okay?

While the old man Gongshu was still stammering and trying to figure out what was going on, Lin Yi replied:
History is written by the victors, isn't it? Once you're dead, what right do you have to speak?
It was this one sentence that made the old man Gongshu see the situation clearly, and made Zhanli admire Lin Yi's shrewdness even more.

Well, this kid is so mature, he doesn't seem like a twenty-year-old at all.

"Lin Yi, I admire you very much. Whether it's your talent, strength, or intelligence, as long as you have enough time to develop, you can definitely become a powerhouse that surpasses the Immortal King. Are you willing to give me a chance and let's cooperate properly?"

Lin Yi could sense the trembling sincerity in him.

However, Lin Yi disliked one thing about Shivering: that it was too stingy.

Working with such a person is destined to lead to nothing great.

"I reject."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi had already completed the communication with Wuzhiqi within his body, successfully borrowing Wuzhiqi's divine power for his own use.

[Note: Your soul trembles before me; do you still dare to resist?]

A gray sword light flashed by, and Lin Yi forcefully plunged the Soul Severing Technique into the pile of rare metal ore in front of him.

The next instant, a deep hum, like ripples, spread rapidly, radiating across the entire planet.

The ores that came into direct contact with the Soul Severing Technique were instantly reduced to dust, which then scattered in all directions as Lin Yi's divine power spread.
