Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

However, since it's gone, let it go. Although I could go back seven hundred years to see how it disappeared, my approach is still the same: wait until things get muddier before pursuing it. There's no need to chase after it, and I don't have the energy to do so. This is a clue that can be temporarily set aside.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yi nodded. "The disappearance of the portal has nothing to do with me. Since it's gone, I should leave now. You can continue cleaning your car!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey? Wait a minute!" Xing suddenly called out to Lin Yi.

The shield-wielding figure poked its head out: "After asking a couple of questions, this brat isn't going to ask you for payment, is he?"

Lin Yi ignored the shield and turned to look at Xing: "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Xing paused for two seconds, then looked up: "I know where that portal is now. Do you need its location information?"

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, then he narrowed his eyes. "Oh? How do you know? You were just a child seven hundred years ago, weren't you?" A sense of curiosity and wariness rose in his heart.

Seven hundred years ago, Xing was still a simple child, but too many things can change in seven hundred years. Lin Yi would not treat Xing, who had grown up, with the same attitude and mindset he used to have towards children.

Xing's expression didn't change much. "I have some special abilities. When you told me about those two false gods, I became wary. I secretly left something on the portal..."

Wow... he's a real talent.

"...Are you willing to tell me?" Lin Yi still squinted, quickly analyzing the truthfulness and possible purpose of the other party's words. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"You have to do me a favor!" Xing said decisively.

See? I told you so! This is no longer the innocent and adorable little salamander tribe from seven hundred years ago!

Lin Yi thought to himself, but showed no emotion on his face. "Never mind then. If I want to know where the portal is, there are plenty of other places."

He simply changed his plans; it's not like he had no way of knowing. He had no intention of getting too involved with this Axolotl, so he leaped off the ground, intending to collect Tony Stark's reward and return to his Marvel Universe.

However, Xing's next words made him pause, his body just off the ground.

"After that portal disappeared, it's no longer in our dimension!" Xing shouted hurriedly. "Even if you know its location, you can't get through! But I have a way, if you can do me a favor."

Lin Yi slowly floated back, staring at Xing for a long time until Xing felt uncomfortable. Only then did Lin Yi speak again: "You're quite something, throwing out your trump card so directly. Aren't you afraid I'll force you to tell me by force?"

Xing's large tail swayed unconsciously from side to side twice, its expression somewhat embarrassed and helpless, but without the fear that should have been there.

"You won't, because my request is very simple. And I'm afraid..." Xing paused, a hint of disappointment in her voice, "I don't feel afraid anymore..."

"Since that portal of light disappeared, our Qi Yuan tribe has undergone some changes. Almost every member of the tribe is gradually losing a certain emotion. Some members have lost their anger and become indifferent to everything. Some have lost their joy and can no longer feel happiness."

"And I, having grown up over the years, have completely lost the feeling of fear..."

Lin Yi's eyes widened slightly. This was quite novel. No wonder he seemed a bit aloof, lacking the awe he once felt as a child. He had initially thought it was because he had grown up, but it turned out he had lost all fear!

"I don't know if this feeling is related to the disappearance of the light gate, but it doesn't matter now."

"My request is simple: I need you to get the Grandmaster to agree that we, like Blue Star, should permanently withdraw from his game!" A hint of resentment flashed in Star's eyes when he mentioned the Grandmaster.

"This should be easy for you, right? Although the Grandmaster didn't say it explicitly, almost all the races participating in the game already know that it was because of you that Earth was exempted from participating in the subsequent competitions."

Lin Yi: "..." Who the hell spread this?

Xing continued, "If you help us withdraw from the competition permanently, I'll tell you the location of the portal and how to get there, how about it?"

Lin Yi tilted his head slightly, quickly weighing the pros and cons.

This request... well, it's not difficult at all. Although that old fox, the Celestial Venerable, likes to cause trouble, he was terrified by Lin Yi's mere restart magic circle. Getting the Qi Yuan Clan to withdraw from the competition is practically a matter of a single word from Lin Yi.

In short, the result saved me a lot of time and energy, which was well worth it. Especially since Xing mentioned that the portal was no longer in the current dimension. If Xing had told me that, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble to find a way.

Seeing Lin Yi remain silent, Xing grew anxious: "You hit my tail when I was little! And I didn't say anything! I'll let you hit me again! Please help us, the Qi Yuan Clan really can't afford any more risks!"

"???" This is ridiculous! Who wanted to hit your tail?! Isn't it because you insulted me?

Thinking this to himself, Lin Yi didn't explain. "Forget about hitting their tails, I'm not interested in that. But I can make you withdraw from the competition. I'll go back and find the Celestial Venerable and have him remove the Qi Yuan Clan from the game list, okay?"

Xing looked at his tail with a suspicious expression, seemingly not believing Lin Yi's claim that he wasn't interested in his tail. Did he think that he was secretly glancing at his tail and that Lin Yi wouldn't notice?

But the second half of the sentence made Xing forget about the tail on the spot.

"Really? When will you be able to do it? Can I give you the method after you've done it?" Xing was visibly excited.

The number of Qi Yuan tribe members is decreasing. Although they have high-end combat power and have even signed up for two projects, it is all out of necessity.

"Do I have to pay the fee myself first...?" Lin Yi sighed inwardly. He knew it! The adorable, innocent salamanders of his childhood were gone! This old man, over seven hundred years old... judging by his age, he's still a little kid, a little salamander, not cute at all!

"I'll get it done for you right now!" Lin Yi took two steps forward, grabbed Xing's collar, and decisively took off, breaking through the sonic boom and flying towards the universe.

Only Xingyi's series of exclamations and screams remained on the spot.

In her panic, Xing grabbed Lin Yi's leg. Lin Yi sneered, his wicked pleasure satisfied.

By the time Xing finally calmed down a bit, Lin Yi had already brought her to Saka Star, to the platform they had met before.

"Alright, let go now."

"Hurry up and finish it for you, I need to get back to rest." Lin Yi walked into the house first, and he had already seen Gao Tianzun.

Gao Tianzun was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping his wine, when he saw Lin Yi walk in, his face immediately fell.
