Chapter 954: The greatest prosperity must come to an end
Since the Dark Rising Organization openly challenged the gods and seized control of the Desire Realm from them, the ranks of the gods have exploded exponentially, with their numbers skyrocketing.

The elders who have lived on the Dark Star for thousands of years, and whose strength and status are not low, have begun to have an idol image to maintain.

When they conquered the Desire Realm, they only saw the strength of Anxing as the reason, ignoring the fact that the gods of the heavens were not incapable; they were simply preoccupied with their own interests and did not go all out.

Even allowing Anxing to seize the Desire Realm was merely a way for the gods, who were on a different path from the Celestial King, to check and balance him.

The old man shared his concerns, which Xi Yue could understand.

It's human nature to become complacent after achieving certain successes.

"The mission Lin Yi is going to carry out this time is not too difficult. The reward for the mission increases with the difficulty of the mission. According to the system's estimate, the mission of taking back the defense line can only give a maximum of five Source Energy Pills as a reward."

“Those members who are capable of taking down this defense line by themselves are unwilling to do it. After all, the three superior gods with complementary abilities are capable of causing them to fail unexpectedly and the mission to fail.”

Compared to the rules set by the gods, members of Dark Star do not suffer severe punishment for failing a mission.

"If this task had been done in the past, countless people would have been eager to do it."

With a gentle smile, Xi Yue listened patiently to what the old woman had to say.

This old woman, at her age, just likes to talk to young people. Talking to Xiyue, who can understand the implications, really helps her relax.

“Grandma Long, things are unpredictable. Everything that flourishes must eventually decline. If Anxing doesn’t suffer some losses, the members won’t consider the gods as powerful enemies.”

With Lin Yi constantly by her side, Xi Yue's horizons are naturally quite broad.

How could she not see the current situation?

Upon hearing Xi Yue's words, Granny Long realized that she had underestimated the girl in front of her.

She truly hadn't expected this girl to have such vision and a broad perspective; wasn't she much smarter than ordinary master assassins?
"Girl, I've told you so much, I wonder if you'd like to join us and become one of us? Sometimes, accumulating little by little is also a way to make progress."

Xi Yue nodded.

Wherever Lin Yi is, she will be there.

Becoming a member of Dark Star allows you to take on missions and earn corresponding rewards, as well as gain experience from actual combat to improve your strength. With such a great opportunity, why would you refuse?

So, Xi Yue easily accepted the ring with the character "Shen" printed on it from the Dragon Master.

This level is considered the lowest in Dark Star, but it has no impact on Xi Yue.

Sometimes, social status or rank is merely a symbol.

Xi Yue's current divine power level is not high, but if she were to unleash her full power, not half of the members of the Dark Rising Organization could claim to be able to defeat her.

Just as Longpo was about to tell Xiyue that upgrading the ring in her hand was not a difficult thing, in order to comfort Xiyue, she unexpectedly smelled a familiar scent just as she was about to speak.

That's right, Lin Yi is back.

Lin Yi returned this time to take Xiao Ao Shu and Xi Yue away.

After the wound torn open by the gods was mended, Lin Yi clearly realized one thing: the Dark Xing headquarters was not a safe place either.

It's astonishing that just three relatively weak high-level gods were able to breach the defenses of the Desire Realm for so long. If even more powerful high-level gods were to arrive, who knows what kind of chaos would ensue.

Lin Yi did not share this concern with Granny Long.

What Luang Phor said was simply that he wanted to earn more resources.

Planet 501.

After Lin Yi reported the mission results to his superiors, the Dark Star organization immediately dispatched several veteran members to continue guarding the area.

The veterans of Dark Rising were very unhappy about this. After Dark Rising rose to prominence, they thrived in the organization, enjoying life to the fullest and living a carefree life.

"You know what, that kid didn't get an ugly-grade ring entirely through connections. Do you have the confidence to take over these three planets and more than a thousand divine weapons all by yourself?"

A man with scales on his face surveyed the environment of Planet 501 and spoke to his female companion.

She has a captivating figure and graceful demeanor.

Wrapped in a purple tulle dress, the woman's temperament was accentuated, making her appear even more ethereal.

"There are almost no signs of fighting on Planet 501. It's not hard to see that Lin Yi didn't put in much effort to take care of them. The data shows that he is only twenty years old. Is that reasonable?"

The woman carefully examined her surroundings, analyzing the situation intently.

"As for your point about dealing with three low-level high gods, that would be a piece of cake for us."

After she finished speaking, the woman took out her Dark Star Ring, on which was clearly engraved the character "丑" (ugly).

This shows that the woman's level on Dark Star is indeed quite high.

Her abilities fully justify her bold words.

Her slender, jade-like hand gracefully grasped the ring, completely enveloping it.

Immediately afterwards, the woman released her divine power, which was strong and abundant.

The man with scales on his face immediately saw through the woman's plan and followed her instructions.

With a thought, a communication crystal appeared from the woman's personal space.

A few seconds later, a pale blue holographic projection appeared in front of the two of them.

“Miss Luo, you really keep your word. Judging from your location, you have already arrived on Planet 501.”

On the other end of the communication crystal was a robust middle-aged man.

His upper body was bare, and his sculpted muscles looked incredibly powerful and explosive.

"Clapham, as one of the gods, you went to such lengths to contact me. What do you want to say to me? You should know that we are on different sides."

Different stances? There aren't that many stances.

The wages of avarice is death.

Even if one attains enlightenment and becomes a god, transforming from a mortal into a deity, the humanity within one's heart cannot be erased.

Luo Bingxin was no exception.

As a member of Dark Xing, the reason why Luo Bingxin went through all that trouble to personally guard this so-called defensive line was entirely because the things Kraben gave her were good enough to pique her interest.

On the other end of the communication crystal, Kraben chuckled and had one of his men bring out an exquisite vessel. Then, in front of Luo Bingxin, he poured the contents of the vessel onto the table.

One by one, ice-blue, crystal-clear pills, emanating a misty aura, rolled out.

Crabbe reached out and touched it, instantly shivering.

He even waved his frozen fingers in front of Luo Bingxin.

"This is the Nine Nether Ice Heart Pill, refined from the water of the Nine Nether River. It can solve a great problem for Miss Luo. I have sixteen of them here. If you need them, we can continue to refine them, since the formula is with us."

"So, how about we collaborate?"
