Chapter 1270 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead

Even if one has a natal artifact as a vessel for their soul, as time goes by, the soul will gradually weaken and eventually disappear completely from this world.

Nuwa didn't have many opportunities left, especially since the first person to obtain her natal artifact would be the Immortal King's people.

That's why Nuwa placed all her hopes on Lin Yi the moment she first met him. At such a young age, he already possessed the qualifications to make a Celestial King take action. Such a young man had a great chance of avenging her, which is why she authorized Lin Yi with her natal artifact.

When Lin Yi first learned of these secrets on the battlefield, he was deeply shocked. He never imagined that the Three Realms and Six Paths would contain such exaggerated secrets.

Even more unexpectedly, the two ancient gods who were rumored to have an extremely close relationship actually had an irreconcilable feud spanning tens of thousands of years. Everything was beyond Lin Yi's comprehension.

At the same time, Lin Yi also understood why the Fuxi Talisman, an external artifact he had finally obtained, ended up in the hands of the Immortal King. You must know that when the Fuxi Talisman betrayed him, it did not hesitate at all, and did not even give Lin Yi the slightest bit of face.

Fuxi Fu could have a thousand or ten thousand reasons to betray Lin Yi.

But if Lin Yi is to accept this, then this is the only way.

Lin Yi's story was very moving.

Even Hou couldn't help but wonder how so many things had happened after his body and soul were separated and sealed. He never expected that the two ancient gods who were once closely allied would turn against each other and become mortal enemies spanning tens of thousands of years after a battle with him.

It's truly a cruel twist of fate.

"So I'm telling you, you still have a chance for revenge. I'm not telling you this to fool you; I'm telling you to think it over carefully. That despicable guy has been given a new life, and even gained a status and prestige far exceeding that of his original era. Are you really going to let him live such a smooth life?"

Lin Yi's words silenced Hou.

Yes, Fuxi is such a despicable fellow. If he were allowed to live like this, wouldn't it be a ridiculous death for me?

"With your strength back then, neither of them would have been your match. You could have become the most powerful being. However, the way you increased your strength was really unreasonable. Even the will of the Three Realms and Six Paths could not tolerate you. Your existence was a mistake."

Lin Yi's analysis is correct.

Hou hadn't considered these things before; it believed that having power meant it could do whatever it wanted.

However, after experiencing being unilaterally abused by Lin Yi, it changed its mind.

It seems that the law of the jungle can no longer be applied to this world. Otherwise, there will always be someone standing at the top of this world, trampling on the weak underfoot.

Without the blessing of the black mist, the Hou would have been ravaged countless times ten thousand years ago.

Having experienced the pressure from Lin Yi, Hou no longer dared to say that he could do whatever he wanted just because of his strength.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Hou raised a question.

It couldn't quite understand why Lin Yi was telling it all this. If Lin Yi wanted to obtain its weapon, killing it would grant it the right to use it.

Was he telling me all this just so I could die knowing why? If that's the case, then Hou really should thank Lin Yi.

Within Hou's sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Yi could slowly explain to Hou the reason why he had specifically sought out Hou for a conversation.

"To be honest, I need your help with something."

"As far as I know, the number of external artifacts that can exist in this world is limited, so I would like to ask you to help me destroy the black mist."

There is a limit to the number of external artifacts that can exist; Hou really didn't know about this.

After listening to Lin Yi's story, Hou gained a lot of new knowledge.

"Your natal artifact, the Black Mist, is, I admit, among the most powerful external artifacts in the world. I could even use it to challenge the authority of the Immortal King, namely the former Fuxi. However, I'm worried that since this artifact isn't my natal artifact, I won't be able to fully unleash its potential." "You can imagine how arduous the battle with that guy will be. I can't afford to make any mistakes in this matter, so I hope you can help me destroy it. I will avenge you then."

This sounds like a really good option.

Since he wouldn't have the chance to use his own divine weapon after his death anyway, for Hou, being able to avenge himself before he dies would be a wonderful thing.

But Hou has feelings.

It can act despicably in this world, bullying those weaker than itself.

But could it be without feelings for the black mist? The birth of this external artifact was quite special. It appeared before Hou's strength reached its peak. How terrible would its fate have been if it hadn't been protected by this external artifact along the way?

If Hou were to entrust his natal artifact to Lin Yi, Hou would certainly not hesitate at all.

But now, Hou is truly caught in a dilemma.

The black mist is no longer near Hou.

If it were there, knowing its master's dilemma and knowing that its master had a chance to take revenge, it would definitely choose to fulfill its master's wish, exchanging its own demise for the birth of Lin Yi's natal artifact.

Hou's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly fell silent.

Hou was caught in a dilemma. For the first time, it hesitated, unlike the Hou that usually did things as it pleased.

It didn't know whether it should seize the opportunity for revenge or let its old partner live. It even thought about telling Lin Yi to take the black mist and avenge it.

But upon reflection, I realized that battles between strong individuals truly cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness.

The saying "a small mistake can lead to a huge difference" is perfectly illustrated when two masters clash.

It's impossible for it to ask Lin Yi to do that.

Should we compromise?

The silence lasted for a long time.

Hou remained silent, and Lin Yi did not urge him.

After much deliberation, Hou agreed to Lin Yi's proposal.

Everyone has an end, and after every era passes, a brand new era will eventually begin.

The divine artifacts of the ancient gods are indeed very powerful, but who can say that the divine artifacts awakened by the new generation of super gods are inferior to those of the ancient gods?

Lin Yi is a living example; he achieved the highest level in the shortest amount of time.

Throughout the history of the Three Realms and Six Paths, from the moment the world emerged from chaos until now, there has never been anyone with talent better than Lin Yi.

I really dare not imagine how high Lin Yi will reach in the future.

"Good lad, you've finally convinced me. So let's do it your way. I'll give you my authorization, and you'll be able to easily destroy my natal artifact. After the black mist falls, it will give you the opportunity to awaken your external artifact."

As Hou spoke, he transformed his body into human form.

He was a middle-aged man with a rugged face, wearing black armor.

Surprisingly, the expression on his face at that moment was completely at odds with his appearance.
