The God of Soul Gathering uses a forbidden soul-gathering technique to rapidly restore his powers, threatening Lin Yi and his allies. However, Lin Yi reveals his own soul manipulation abilities, derived from the Master of Ten Thousand Souls, turning the God of Soul Gathering's power against him.

"Look, when it comes to soul manipulation, your control power is inferior to mine. Originally, my Divine Power Level was lower than yours, but now, there’s only one possibility: your soul-manipulating divine power is female, and mine is male. Females must listen to males, and that’s why you’re being suppressed by me, don’t you agree?"

After saying this, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, the mockery evident in his eyes.

Not being as good as Lin Yi in terms of soul manipulation was one thing; what was unexpected was Lin Yi’s wild imagination, categorizing divine power as male and female.

Wasn’t this implying that the God of Soul Gathering was just a weakling in front of Lin Yi?

Thinking of this, Ju Hun immediately flushed with anger, pointing at Lin Yi, he began to stutter.

"I, I, you, you....."

Divine Power divided into male and female, this was plainly an insult.

No matter how long he thought, Ju Hun couldn’t find words to refute Lin Yi.

"What’s going on, why are you stuttering? Well, women talking like this is normal."

Having said that, Lin Yi intensified his Divine Power output, commanding his contact with the Power of the Soul Origin to sever support for the God of Soul Gathering and break free from his control.

After issuing the command, Lin Yi injected a bit of his divine power into the wandering souls released by the Soul Banner, assisting them in rebelling against the God of Soul Gathering.

With a desire to survive and the purer power of soul manipulation as dual reinforcement, some stronger souls indeed managed to break away from the link with the God of Soul Gathering.

It’s true that misfortune never comes alone!

Before he could organize his rebuttal, Lin Yi pulled this stunt, thoroughly breaking Ju Hun apart.

Finally recovering a bit of divine power, he now needed to accomplish something he could usually do with his eyes closed as the God of Soul Gathering.

The souls in the Soul Banner were long refined by the God of Soul Gathering, who could command them at will; without Lin Yi’s support, they wouldn’t dare go against him.

If he used his divine power elsewhere, even a direct clash with Lin Yi wouldn’t be bad. But now, using it in such a trivial way, the sense of disparity in his heart couldn’t just be filled casually.

"Damn kid, are you looking for death? Messing up my plans repeatedly, you find unhappiness in anything but death!"

The God of Soul Gathering’s expression grew increasingly hideous, seemingly wishing to tear him apart.

But these threats had no effect on Lin Yi.

"Of course, having come to such a high-level Secret Realm without acquiring any valuable treasures, I’m certainly not planning to leave."

"Everyone, I nearly forgot, that guy intends to convert your Soul Origin into his own divine power. Judging by the pace, he’s likely ordered you around plenty, right? Usually disregarding your lives in battles, having you sacrifice to the point of complete extinction to help him restore his power, can you tolerate this?"

The souls couldn’t speak, yet they suddenly flashed with dimming lights, seeming to express their resentment towards the God of Soul Gathering.

"Since everyone is agitated, let’s not stay idle. Those who’ve just broken free from control, I’ll assist you in reclaiming all the Origin Powers you contributed. I’m granting you freedom, is this acceptable?"

No, no way! What’s going on here, the refined souls are joining Lin Yi’s ranks and turning against me, is this logical?

Ju Hun didn’t even have time to curse before the souls that broke free from control began moving.

They regrouped their Power of the Soul Origin, transforming into tendrils that connected to the God of Soul Gathering.

[Ju Hun] skill, once activated, bestows refined soul bodies with the permission to use Soul Origin Power to link with Ju Hun.

Even if refined souls break away from Ju Hun’s control, they still possess this permission.

All things in the world are contradictions in a collective; great philosophers are correct, nothing has only a good side, there is bound to be a negative aspect.

Sure enough, the negative aspect made itself apparent immediately.

The God of Soul Gathering’s mind seemed to freeze at that moment; what exactly should he do.

The activation of the [Ju Hun] skill requires neither Divine Power nor Taichu, yet its cooldown is rather lengthy. Should he not interrupt the skill, there’s no telling how much Power of the Soul Origin those freed souls might siphon from him.

But if he pauses it, his divine power regeneration would halt immediately, reducing the chances of acquiring the Fu Xi Talisman or even defeating Lin Yi.

What should he do?

While Ju Hun was torn, he suddenly remembered that the group behind him seemed mostly recovered.

Sure enough, upon realizing Ju Hun was in a bind, more than seventy Upper-Rank Gods behind him charged forward, rushing at Lin Yi.

"Big brother Ju Hun, we’re here!"

Their unified shout moved Ju Hun, filling his eyes with tears.

Red-eyed, he shouted arrogantly at Lin Yi.

"Kid, you’ve lost! Even if you held the upper hand in our one-on-one today, so what? We Celestial Divine Beings may lack many things, but we abound in numbers. Although their powers aren’t fully restored, escaping from the siege of so many Upper-Rank Gods who overpower you in Divine Power Level is impossible!"

Ju Hun’s words were undeniably true.

Even a momentary burst of strength from over seventy Upper-Rank Gods is something Lin Yi can’t withstand.

If Lin Yi is affected, control over those souls would return to the God of Soul Gathering.

Then, while Lin Yi’s badly injured or killed, he can fully restore his divine power.

"Calling people? I know how to do that too."

In Lin Yi’s view, outnumbering others was never dishonorable.

When you can gang up, why choose a fair fight?

Plenty of resources aren’t meant to be ornamental, after all.

After evading Ju Hun’s attack, Lin Yi snapped his fingers, and a door brimming with undead aura unexpectedly appeared over the God of Soul Gathering’s head.

The unique aura was easily perceived, naturally drawing Ju Hun’s attention.

In the instant Ju Hun subconsciously raised his head, the pitch-black undead door opened, unleashing countless dense figures from within.

Ah ah ah!

Holy crap, what is this!

Aren’t these our Divine Soldiers? How did they start attacking us?

Holy shit, have they gone mad, rebelling against authority? How did they enter the Secret Realm?

No, they’re not ordinary Divine Soldiers, there’s no living essence on them. Damn, this guy broke my arm.

Screams and curses filled the air incessantly.

Seventy plus Upper-Rank Gods were caught off guard by this sudden downpour of divine warriors.

Even with the support of high-level divine power, they naturally didn’t fear these Undead Divine Soldiers.

The problem was their state was very poor now; any bit of consolidated divine power was exhausted the moment it was unleashed.
