Chapter 1024: The Supposed Guarantee of Victory

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: The Supposed Guarantee of Victory

No, to be precise, it’s betting with oneself without any stakes.

If it were any Divine Being, they would definitely refuse.

In a scenario where power overwhelms, resolving by force leaves no room for pointless chatter.

Yet, this tactic is effective on the God of Soul Gathering.

He’s been high and mighty for too long, his life is duller than anyone else’s; encountering someone as interesting as Lin Yi, he doesn’t mind having fun with Lin Yi.

"Haha, you kid, you’re really interesting. Your shamelessness and fearlessness are unparalleled in my lifetime."

"Anyway, I have enough time to complete this task now, time is abundant, so I will play with you. I hope you won’t disappoint me."

"If I truly get my path confused and develop a desire to kill you, then it means you beat me, and I will let you go, how about that?!"

What a surprise?!

Not just Lin Yi, even Wo Zhiqi and the Great Saint inside him were stunned.

Could such an advantage be brought by information asymmetry?

The two who witnessed the whole process are well aware of the current situation.

The purpose of this trip is for the External Divine Artifact Fu Xi Talisman, and this is something the God of Soul Gathering personally revealed.

He did not hide things about the golden giant lake.

Enough sacrificial offerings must be put into it to make the Fu Xi Talisman appear.

After the God of Soul Gathering finished his speech, Lin Yi’s [Eye of All-Seeing] suddenly became clear, immediately changing the analytical approach, analyzing the golden giant from a new perspective.

With the interpretation of critical information, this analysis was much faster.

What the God of Soul Gathering said was correct, he wasn’t lying.

To make the Fu Xi Talisman appear, one must gather one hundred and eight Divine Beings holding different types of Divine Power.

To ensure this, the Immortal King has conducted precise calculations long ago, just to allow the Fu Xi Talisman to be born gently so that his subordinates can successfully subdue it.

In other words, the remaining two sacrificial offerings must be Helben and Morris, and before the two enter the golden giant lake, no one can interfere; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

Lin Yi is confident in angering the God of Soul Gathering precisely because of this.

He knows clearly that as long as he disrupts this sacrificial ritual, even if the God of Soul Gathering is in this instance, it’s likely he won’t succeed in subduing the Fu Xi Talisman.

Angering the God of Soul Gathering is incredibly easy for Lin Yi.

Thus, upon hearing this, both Wo Zhiqi and the Great Saint were shocked, shocked at how Lin Yi could manipulate an Upper-Rank God with a Divine Power Level reaching A-level.

"Indeed, an Upper-Rank God is an Upper-Rank God, a strong one is a strong one, betting with such refreshingly original reasons, irrespective of the result, for your speech alone, I, Lin Yi, salute you."

And so, the bet was established.

The Divine Beings of the Immortal King faction present couldn’t help but feel envy towards the God of Soul Gathering.

Who would’ve thought that while subduing the External Divine Artifact, another opportunity to subdue an External Divine Artifact would present itself.

Moreover, the content of the bet is so favorable for the God of Soul Gathering.

If we paint a grim picture, even if Lin Yi does something that angers the God of Soul Gathering, as long as the God of Soul Gathering endures slightly, the outcome will be decided.

Besides, how is Lin Yi supposed to anger the God of Soul Gathering? Unleashing his full speed for a surprise attack won’t realistically make the God of Soul Gathering angry.

They truly couldn’t conceive of any winning opportunities for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi calmly assumed an attacking stance, directing his fist at the God of Soul Gathering, then issued what seemed to be a daring challenge.

"Upper-Rank God, aren’t you planning to defend or interrupt my move?"

The God of Soul Gathering, with his arrogance, truly looked down on defending against moves that are vastly inferior to himself.

He then smiled slightly, adopting a stance inviting Lin Yi to attack, with a hint of provocation.

"Rest assured, not only will I not interrupt your attack, but none of us here will either. To make you accept wholeheartedly, I am willing to restrain myself and my subordinates."

Lin Yi smiled wickedly.

Then he activated his Martial Soul Skill—[Hair Clone].

Suddenly, twelve identical physical clones appeared behind Lin Yi.

Physical clones, indeed, summoning these clones counts as just one move.

How they attack next only counts as one move.

The God of Soul Gathering sensed identical auras from Lin Yi’s twelve clones.

Given the disparity in power, the God of Soul Gathering sensed clearly that the aura emanating from Lin Yi’s clones was indeed real rather than some Blinding Skill.

"Clones with data almost consistent with the main body, and all are physical—that’s quite impressive, twelve clones in a single move, you truly surpass most people."

Lin Yi didn’t deny the God of Soul Gathering’s praise.

Calling Hair Clone a Divine Skill is nothing exaggerated.

The quantity has increased without altering quality; Lin Yi knows very well that even if twelve Hair Clones make trouble for the God of Soul Gathering, he could easily handle them.

This caliber of expert is best left to someone stronger to contend with.

"Thanks for the compliment from the great God of Soul Gathering, but next, Master God of Soul Gathering, please do contain yourself and don’t get angry."

The God of Soul Gathering gestured for Lin Yi to proceed with the attack.

As Lin Yi’s finger fell, the twelve clones launched attacks on the God of Soul Gathering nearly simultaneously, with Law Skills and Forbidden Curse pouring out without reservation.

As if they wouldn’t resign until the God of Soul Gathering was defeated.

The dazzling array of skills vivid colors painted the sky red.

Making this Secret Realm less monotonous.

The instantaneous launch of dozens of Forbidden Curses even made the Upper-Rank Gods incredulous.

The Immortal King’s subordinates, four openly, others covertly, were intently observing the battle between the God of Soul Gathering and this interesting young man.

They consciously noticed two remarkable things when Lin Yi’s clones released their skills.

The first is that Lin Yi’s clones didn’t need to chant when releasing high-level skills.

This is something even most Upper-Rank Gods can’t generally achieve.

The second is that when deploying skills, Lin Yi could often release several identical high-level skills in a single breath.

This unique attribute is particularly astounding.

While it’s rare among All Gods to release high-level skills directly without chanting, at least some can achieve it.

But to release multiple identical high-level skills in one go, across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, indeed no Divine Being can accomplish this.

"Good heavens, this kid is truly remarkable. If given enough time to grow, his future is boundless!"

"Isn’t that the truth? From the abilities he’s currently displaying, he’s likely very skilled at challenging above his level."
