Chapter 549 Unique Dungeon Mechanics and a Heart That Warms Up Again

The blazing sun hangs high in the sky.

The intense sunlight shone on the golden desert.

The fine sand absorbed the heat of the scorching sun, causing the space itself to distort due to the heat emanating from the ground.

Slaves, their skin black, walked barefoot on the scorching desert.

Whether out of fear of the soldiers overseeing them or because of the long hours of work, their feet had long been accustomed to treading on the scorching desert, and their faces showed no sign of pain.

Some slaves were using tools to polish the giant stones.

The tinkling sound that Lin Yi heard was from them.

Some slaves carried rough hemp ropes on their shoulders.

At the other end of the rope was a boulder weighing several tons, which, with the combined efforts of several slaves, slowly rolled across the desert.

When Lin Yi appeared alone in this space, he was such a small target that neither the working slaves nor the overseeing soldiers noticed his presence.

However, as more and more people entered this space, the appearance of Lin Yi and others eventually attracted the attention of the overseers and slaves.

At the same time, the instance announcement finally sounded again.

Congratulations on successfully entering the 99th floor of the Deep Sea Tower dungeon – The Vanished Empire!

[This mission does not involve forced combat. You will have a private audience with Anubis, the god of death, and answer his questions. The person who answers best will receive Anubis's scepter and advance to the next level.]

[Note: This level can only be completed by one person. If a player's health reaches zero during the challenge, the challenge is considered a failure, and the player will be automatically teleported out of the instance.]

what?
Is there a dungeon that only one person can clear?
If that's the case, then...
"Brother Lin Yi, thank you for your help along the way~ I'll be taking my leave now!"

A professional from the British Empire raised his hand in the crowd and waved at Lin Yi. The next second, he activated his own power of law and struck himself in the chest.

The Tower of the Deep Sea has a protection mechanism. When a player suffers a fatal injury, the professional participating in the trial will not die but will be immediately teleported out of the instance.

Since there are no monsters or combat in this instance, I can only send myself away.

Before Lin Yi could reply, the figure of the Undying Pro who had attacked him vanished completely, apparently teleported out of the instance.

"Brother Lin Yi, thank you for your care along the way. I'll be waiting for you outside the tower~"

The Pyramid Kingdom has completely abandoned its prejudices against Bactria.

Along the way, he witnessed Lin Yi's dedication and contributions to Blue Star.

Along the way, the war gods of Blue Star, with Lin Yi's help, acquired a large number of rare resources, greatly improving their strength. Their gains far exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, he chose the same way as that professional player from the Never-Setting Sun, leaving the instance.

If there's one, there will be a second, and if there's a second, there will be a third.

Having fought side by side along the way, Lin Yi remembered many faces.

Unbeknownst to him, his heart was once again filled with warmth.

For most of his time after becoming a professional, Lin Yi relied on his exceptional abilities to resolve one issue after another.

After mastering the power of eternal laws, Lin Yi's state of mind underwent a tremendous change without him even realizing it.

He started to become cold.

After obtaining the Eternal Law Power of the Dao Integration level, even Lin Yi himself didn't realize that his companions from Great Xia were appearing in his sight less and less often, and his heart was gradually growing cold. Now, watching his teammates who had fought alongside him send him out of the dungeon one by one, Lin Yi's eyes began to well up with tears.

"Hey Lin Yi, I still couldn't help you much in this dungeon. I was planning to repay your life-saving grace, but it seems there's no chance this time. I'll be going now~"

The Golden Rhino War God smiled slightly at Lin Yi, then sent himself out of the dungeon.

"That kid Jinxi, really."

The great warrior Zhou Heyu still wore a kind expression.

However, Zhou Heyu's expression was different from when he first met Lin Yi. At this moment, Zhou Heyu's face showed more relief and ease.

Although this old war god's strength was not among the top in the Great Xia, his status in the Great Xia was unmatched.

For over a century, Zhou Heyu has devoted himself to cultivating talent for the Great Xia Dynasty, always working diligently and never slacking off.

But today, the pressure on his shoulders has completely dissipated.

Because of the Great Xia Dynasty—no, the entire Blue Star!—a being has appeared on the entire Blue Star who commands the respect of all the war gods of every nation.

With him around, the scheming nations of Earth will put aside all their entanglements, show their strength, and unite against external threats.

"Lin Yi, my promise is valid forever. Even if I die, the Great Xia Professional Alliance will continue to fulfill the promise I made to you. Go boldly, the entire Great Xia Professional Alliance is behind you."

After Zhou Heyu finished speaking, he smiled and slapped himself on the chest, sending himself out of the 99th floor of the Deep Sea Tower dungeon.

Lin Yi's eyes began to moisten slightly.

Zhou Heyu, this senior, has helped Lin Yi a lot in his growth.

Unexpectedly, today...
"Tch, this old man talks a lot!"

Wan Chongshan smiled broadly as he looked at the spot where Zhou Heyu had disappeared.

"Lin Yi, as you know, your principal is very powerful. If I, Old Cat, were to compete with you for the only spot to enter the 100th floor, your chances of success would be greatly reduced."

"Alright then, today, I, Old Cat, won't argue with you, a junior. I'll do you a favor! After the dungeon ends, return to Shenxiao and serve as the dean, even if it's just a nominal position, it doesn't matter! If you're really not satisfied, I'll give you my position as principal!"

After saying that, Old Cat followed Zhou Heyu's footsteps and left the instance.

"Lin Yi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are the one who can lead Blue Star out of the control of the gods!"

"From now on, whatever decision you make, I will still support you!"

Stark didn't waste any more words and sent himself away.

bang~
Cheng Xiao lightly punched Lin Yi in the chest.

"Lin Yi, you have a kind of magic that I can't help but admire."

“Today, even if my opponent is the God of War Xuanyuan, I, Cheng Xiao, cannot give up. But you are different. My laws clearly tell me that I have no chance of winning against you. Seeing that everyone has withdrawn, I can’t make a big fuss.”

"How about this, you owe me a one-on-one fight. After this is all over, we'll have a good fight, okay?"

Apart from Lin Yi, the other 48 War Gods did not hesitate at all and attacked him one after another, exiting the instance one after another.

According to the rules of the instance, Lin Yi has already obtained the qualification to enter the next level.

Regardless of whether his answer satisfies Anubis, it will be the best!
Because he was the only participant in the copy!
