Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"The creatures that invaded your world are called the Ancient Gods."

Then, Lin Yi told several people the knowledge about ancient gods in the void.

After learning the truth, a deep feeling of powerlessness overwhelmed everyone's heart.

This feeling of powerlessness does not come from the gap in strength, but rather from a kind of despair that arises from the bottom of the heart when faced with such a huge and irresistible threat.

"So, who are you?"

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you my origins, but I won’t stand on the side of the ancient gods.” Lin Yi shook his head, with no intention of revealing his own origins.

Butler Theresa did not show too much surprise about this. Based on her observation of Lin Yi, she had already expected that the other party would not easily reveal his origins. She was tactful and did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Then may I ask, do you have any way to eliminate the ancient gods' erosion of living beings?" After Lin Yi's explanation just now, she has understood that those so-called polluted bodies on the Chikong Continent are actually poor creatures that have been eroded by the power of the ancient gods.

Although according to the understanding of the Red Sky Continent, once a body becomes contaminated, there is almost no possibility of recovery, but Lin Yi's origins are mysterious, and he may have a way, so Butler Theresa still has a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"There is indeed a way, but this method is only for me."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Butler Theresa couldn't help but flash a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

But she quickly cheered up and said sincerely: "Even so, I beg you to tell me what the solution is."

"The reason why I was able to remove the ancient gods' erosion of living beings is because of the special energy I possess. This energy is very difficult to master. I was able to learn it because I was lucky. If I had a little worse luck, you would not be able to see me now."

"Is there no way to let other people master this method as well?" Butler Theresa did not give up. To them, Lin Yi was like a person who fell into the vast ocean and finally grabbed a life-saving straw. No matter what, they were unwilling to give up easily.

“Don’t waste your time worrying about this. My energy is even more corrosive than the ancient god’s power. If you don’t believe me, you can come up and experience it for yourself.” After saying that, Lin Yi gently raised his hand and slowly condensed a trace of the power of the abyss at his fingertips.

With the emergence of this trace of power from the abyss, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point.

Erica, Daphne and Butler Theresa felt that the environment around them suddenly became extremely cold, as if countless pairs of cold eyes were peeping at them in the darkness.

Daphne tried to use the power of the Phoenix to fight back, but when the power of the Phoenix just approached the power of the abyss at Lin Yi's fingertips, it was instantly swallowed up without causing any ripples.

"In that case, could you please stay in our territory for a while longer? There are still many residents in our territory who are in a state of severe pollution and are currently being temporarily suppressed under the Phoenix Temple. As long as you can eliminate the erosion on them, we can provide any supplies you need as a reward." Hearing what Butler Talisa said, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

The other party must have realized that he would not stay in the territory for a long time, so he said this, trying to keep him here and solve the urgent problem in the territory.

Lin Yi took out a soul crystal (complete) from his arms and waved it in front of everyone, "Do you have this thing?"

After seeing the soul crystal in Lin Yi's hand, several people showed an embarrassment on their faces.

After a while, Butler Talisa spoke up: "We do have some Eternal Stone in reserve, but the quantity is small. It is one of our trump cards to deal with the pollution of the ancient gods. If you can really stop the erosion, we are willing to use these stocks to pay you."

In the Red Sky Continent, soul crystals are also called eternal stones.

At first, it was merely regarded as a luxury item with great ornamental value and was often used for decoration, adding a touch of luxury and style to the lives of the nobility.

But the invasion of the ancient gods changed people's understanding of the Eternal Stone.

In various attempts to deal with the ancient gods, everyone unexpectedly discovered that the Eternal Stone actually has a special effect on the Phoenix.

The good times did not last long. As the pollutants continued to move forward, the mining areas that were once rich in soul crystals fell one after another.

Today, the reserves of Eternal Stone in the entire territory are becoming increasingly scarce, and its preciousness has skyrocketed. It has transformed from an ordinary luxury item into a vital military supply.

At present, except for a small number of eternal stones remaining in the treasure houses of the major nobles, most of the soul crystals have been sacrificed to the Phoenix.

Relying on these soul crystals as "fuel", the Phoenix is ​​able to exert its power and maintain the safety of its territory.

After reaching the cooperation, the group came to the Phoenix Temple under the guidance of Daphne.

At the top of the temple, a huge phoenix statue stands proudly with its wings spread out, as if it will break through the clouds and soar into the sky in the next second.

Below the temple, there is a deep passage filled with a pungent stench, which is the stench brought by the ancient gods' erosion of their flesh.

As they went deeper into the passage, the darkness around them seemed to be pressing in closer and closer. Only the faint light in front of them guided them forward.

Finally, Lin Yi saw the heavily polluted residents who were suppressed here.

Their bodies were twisted, black scales appeared on their skin, and they let out painful roars from their mouths from time to time.

When they saw Lin Yi and his group coming down from the passage, these residents who were trapped in severe pollution suddenly became manic, and rushed towards Lin Yi and others desperately like crazy.

Their bodies were wrapped with a large number of thick iron chains, which were deeply embedded in their flesh and restrained their movements.

Erica looked at the twisted figures in front of her, her eyes full of sadness and helplessness: "These are all warriors who have made great contributions to the territory, but due to the erosion of the power of the ancient gods, we have no choice but to lock them up here temporarily and find a way to restore them to normal."

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the dim light in the basement and saw a huge phoenix statue standing not far away.

There is a ball of red flame inside the phoenix statue, and the fuel of this flame is the soul crystal.

Judging from the size of this soul crystal, it is at least a starting point for a soul crystal (large).

"What a waste of resources." Lin Yi muttered softly.

If the necromancers and wizards in the paradise saw this scene, they would probably rush over with red eyes and dig out the half-burned soul crystal from the statue.

"Thank you for your help." Butler Theresa walked to Lin Yi and asked in a low voice.

The severe polluter in front of them was none other than Carlo Talisa, the cousin of Butler Talisa and the most powerful warrior of the previous generation of the Honghu tribe.

Three years ago, in order to protect the peace of the territory, Carlotelisa single-handedly broke into the outer side of the Wall of Living Beings and killed thousands of contaminated entities.

In just one day, Carlo Teresa's sanity was on the verge of collapse.

The erosion of the power of the ancient gods was like the sharp claws of a devil, ruthlessly tearing at his will.

In the end, Bertelletha spent a huge price to send Carlo to the basement of the Phoenix Temple.

The flames in the Phoenix Temple cannot purify those who have fallen into deep pollution, but fortunately, they can keep their pollution state from getting worse.

When she came in front of Carlotalissa, it seemed that she sensed some kind of threat, and Carlotalissa no longer pounced on her blindly like a beast as before.

He knelt on all fours, his muscles tensed, like a beast ready to pounce, in a posture of high alert.

Looking at Lin Yi approaching, Carlo Teresa let out a low roar from her throat. The vigilance in her eyes did not decrease, but she did not launch an attack immediately.

Seeing Lin Yi's right hand getting closer and closer, his eyes turned red and a black smoke with a foul smell came out of his mouth. Carlo Teresa no longer suppressed her instinct and pounced towards Lin Yi.

Looking at Carlo Theresa rushing over, Lin Yi raised his hand and grabbed Carlo Theresa's neck, then swung her hard, slamming Carlo Theresa heavily into the floor.

After suffering this blow, the murderous nature in Carlo Teresa was completely ignited.

He used all four limbs, like a mad beast, to attack Lin Yi frantically. But Lin Yi was prepared and summoned several layers of Hercules shields on his side.

Carlotalisa, who had lost her mind, could only wave her limbs around randomly without any purpose.

Lin Yi's actions stimulated Carlo Teresa, causing the degree of pollution in him to deepen sharply.

His body began to swell and his muscles expanded. Black scales appeared on the surface of his skin, emitting an even stronger stench of decay. His entire body began to transform into a contaminated body.

"Purification."

At the moment when Carlotalissa was about to transform into a polluted body, Lin Yi's purification technique appeared above Carlotalissa's head.

The moment the purification technique entered Carlotalissa's body, the newly grown black scales on Carlotalissa's body began to fall off one by one.

Every scale turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared without a trace the moment it fell off.

At the same time, Carlo Terissa's body, which had swelled and twisted beyond human form due to pollution, gradually began to shrink, and his body gradually recovered to a state close to that of a normal person.

As the last trace of the ancient god's power was purified, Carlotelissa's body seemed to have exhausted all its strength. She collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Okay." Lin Yi released his hand that was pinching Carlo Teresa's neck. Just as Lin Yi was about to get up, footsteps suddenly sounded behind them.

Daphne and the others were stunned when they heard the footsteps. You know, this is the basement of the Phoenix Temple. Except for the core senior staff of the Phoenix Temple like Daphne, even ordinary priests of the Phoenix Temple are strictly prohibited from approaching this place on weekdays.

Upon seeing this, Butler Theresa immediately made a gesture of silence, indicating everyone to keep quiet, and then led a few people to the back of a pillar.

Fortunately, the severely polluted patients in the basement continued to roar and struggle in pain, interweaving into a noisy noise.

Against this noisy background, the noise made by Lin Yi when he purified Carlo Teresa just now did not attract the attention of the people on the stairs.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.

It was a man in a black robe with strange dark red patterns embroidered on the edges, flickering faintly in the dim light of the basement.

The other person's face was covered by a hood, so his features could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light could be seen.

When Daphne saw the man's robe, her expression became very ugly. She whispered in Lin Yi's ear, "This... these are followers of the Lord of Pollution. How did they get in?"

"Very good. It was indeed the right move to arrange for you to lurk here." The Bishop of the Lord of Pollution swept his eyes over the scene in front of him that was like a riot of demons, his eyes full of uncontrollable satisfaction.

In his eyes, these polluters who were in urgent need of transformation were potential forces for the church.

“These are all my duties, but I don’t know what happened to my wife and daughter now…” Behind the bishop of the Lord of Pollution, a priest of the Chi Ming tribe, wearing the priest robe of the Phoenix Temple, walked out cautiously.

"It's Morrison Hunter. How could he betray the church?" Daphne recognized the pastor at a glance. Morrison was considered a senior figure in the Phoenix Temple, and his seniority was even deeper than Daphne's.

From what he just said, it was not difficult for everyone to guess that his family might have been held hostage by the Church of the Lord of Pollution.

"Hmph, as long as you handle this matter, your family will be safe." The Bishop of the Lord of Pollution said coldly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt, as if the traitor in front of him was just an insignificant ant.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, please rest assured. I will do my best and will never let you down." Hunt nodded hurriedly, with a flattering smile on his face, but a hint of worry flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing this, Keppel Jean was so angry that his knuckles turned white from the force he exerted. "I must personally capture this traitor and make him pay for what he did."

As the leader of an intelligence organization, Keppel Jean hates traitors who betray his territory the most.

As he spoke, the Bishop of the Lord of Pollution took out a black crystal ball from his arms, and a strange black light was flowing on the surface of the crystal ball.

The bishop held the crystal ball above his head and muttered something.

As he cast the spell, the temperature in the basement dropped suddenly. The heavily polluted body, which had been temporarily calmed due to being suppressed, seemed to be injected with some evil power and became violently agitated again.

Lin Yi flashed and used the intricate stone pillars and dark corners in the basement to quietly move behind the bishop.

At this time, the bishop was concentrating on watching the contaminated bodies that were about to transform, and had no idea that the danger was approaching.

Just as Lin Yi was about to approach the bishop, Hunt seemed to sense something strange. He looked around and his eyes happened to sweep in the direction where Lin Yi was hiding.

Realizing that he was discovered, the black and white rose appeared in Lin Yi's hand and stabbed towards the bishop's back.

The bishop reacted very quickly. When he sensed the attack from behind, he lunged forward. At the same time, a black staff appeared in his hand. He turned around and swung a black flame towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi dodged sideways, the flames brushed past his body and instantly burned a stone pillar behind him to ashes.

"Who are you! How dare you ruin my good deeds!" the bishop roared, with a fierce light flashing in his dark green eyes.

A golden spear appeared in Keppel Jean's hand, the tip of the spear flashing with cold light, and pierced straight into the bishop's chest.

Daphne cast a spell on the side, and red runes flew towards the bishop, trying to restrict his movements.

Seeing this, Hunt was frightened and wanted to sneak away in the chaos.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that his retreat was blocked by Erica and Butler Theresa.

While the bishop was fending off Lin Yi's attack, he also had to pay attention to Capel Jean and Daphne who were attacking from other directions. He was instantly caught in a difficult situation of being attacked from three sides.

He waved the staff in his hand, and black flames rushed towards the three people, forcing back Lin Yi and the other two who were trying to approach.

"You guys are so ignorant of your own life. You dare to go against the Lord of Pollution. Today is the day you die!" The bishop said this, but his eyes were always looking for a way to escape.

At this moment, Hunt, whose retreat was blocked by Erica and Bertler Theresa, suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Erica.

Erica didn't expect Hunt to attack suddenly. She couldn't dodge in time and got a bloody scratch on her arm.

When Butler Theresa saw this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She took out a long sword and slashed at Hunt with a golden sword energy.

Hunt dodged quickly, and the sword energy flew past his body, leaving a deep mark on the wall.

"You despicable villain, today is your end!" Butler Theresa shouted angrily, and took a step forward to attack Hunt.

On the other side, the bishop took advantage of the moment when the three men were pushed back and tried to withdraw.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Keppel Jean and Daphne quickly adjusted their status, flanked from both sides, and attacked the bishop together with Lin Yi.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the bishop emitted a strange black light from the tip of his staff. The light quickly spread and formed a huge black vortex that swept towards the three people in the opposite direction. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

Seeing the bishop's attack, Capell Jean thrust his spear into the ground with his backhand, using the force to stabilize his body. At the same time, the spear shone brightly, trying to resist the impact of the black vortex.

Daphne quickly formed seals with her hands, summoning a shield made of red runes to block in front of her.

Lin Yi rushed forward, and a black sword energy flashed across, splitting the flying black vortex into two.

The split vortex surged to both sides, corroding the ground into two deep grooves wherever it passed, and leaving large charred marks on the walls. (End of this chapter)
