Lin Yi's parents and friends are recalled as he faces the overwhelming power of the Immortal King. Despite his resurrection ability, Lin Yi knows escape is unlikely. Meanwhile, avatars created from Lin Yi's Divine River Song skill attack the Immortal King, but are blocked. The Immortal King recognizes Lin Yi's fully enhanced equipment, realizing the Divine River Song's full potential. He considers Lin Yi's talent but ultimately decides to eliminate him, unleashing a powerful eye-shaped attack. Wo Zhiqi, within Lin Yi, regrets his past arrogance, recognizing the attack as the Nuwa Spirit, an ancient external divine artifact, which explains how the Great Saint was subdued.

Due to being in the Sea of Divine Consciousness, whatever thoughts appeared in Wo Zhiqi’s mind, Lin Yi could immediately receive them.

Knowing the opponent was using the Nuwa Spirit as a weapon, Lin Yi felt that his defeat was not undeserved.

However, one thing Lin Yi still hadn’t figured out was why the Fu Xi Talisman in his hand had failed.

If the Fu Xi Talisman hadn’t failed, as both were Lifebound Divine Artifacts of Ancient Great Gods, the battle wouldn’t have been so passive.

But who would have thought that he would stumble because of a weapon.

Watching the avatars created by the Divine River Song exert themselves to the limit, yet unable to break through the defenses of the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar, feeling the increasingly depleted power within him, Lin Yi knew his battle was soon coming to an end.

Just as Lin Yi’s Divine Sense began to blur, a beam of golden light shone into the Sea of Divine Consciousness.

This was a feeling Lin Yi had never experienced before.

Power not belonging to Lin Yi should theoretically be unable to enter Lin Yi’s Sea of Divine Consciousness, even though Lin Yi was very vulnerable now, it shouldn’t be like this.

Could it be that the Immortal King was truly powerful enough to ignore the rules of the Three Realms and Six Paths? If so, then the defeat was truly not undeserved.

Just when Lin Yi was ready to resign himself, a mysterious figure, wrapped in golden light, appeared before him.

"Young man, I didn’t expect to meet with you. At such an age, you could make that guy use me against you. You’re truly remarkable."

The golden light slowly dissipated, and the figure it enveloped gradually became clear.

It was a woman with an ethereal aura, incredibly beautiful beyond description.

Upon seeing her, Lin Yi’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, his mind couldn’t stop briefly losing focus.

The beguiling appearance emanating from her was impossible for any man to resist.

Why do you appear in my Sea of Divine Consciousness?

In that instant, time seemed to halt.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask.

He knew the strength of the woman before him, yet he couldn’t sense any killing intent from her, instead, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"I am the master of the Nuwa Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was momentarily dumbfounded.

The master of the Nuwa Spirit is indeed the legendary Ancient Great God.

Could it be that her residual soul was attached to his Lifebound Divine Artifact?

As the thought emerged, the woman answered Lin Yi’s question.

"Certainly not. If my spirit could reside in my Lifebound Divine Artifact, how would my Lifebound Divine Artifact fall into his hands? Wouldn’t that mean total doom?"

This Ancient Great God was unexpectedly easy to talk to, Lin Yi truly hadn’t anticipated it.

"Luckily, a trace of my Divine Thought remains in this Lifebound Divine Artifact, giving me the chance to talk with you. What I’m about to tell you is very important. The current Immortal King is not the Immortal King from ten thousand years ago. The former Immortal King is gone, but not because he died. He was sealed within his own body."

No, no, no, what’s the meaning of this?

Lin Yi could understand every word spoken by Nuwa.

But when linking these words together, Lin Yi felt utterly confused.

What does being sealed within one’s body mean; if consciousness doesn’t exist within one’s body, could it possibly exist in someone else’s? What kind of words are these?

"You’re not wrong, but in the vast Three Realms and Six Paths, there are wonders aplenty, similar to the passive Blessing of All Heavens you possess. Why say that the Immortal King’s original consciousness was locked inside his body? This traces back to a battle from ten thousand years ago. The Immortal King at that time, named Zhang Lu, was an ordinary Upper-Rank God, until..."

This Ancient Great God shared with Lin Yi a lengthy tale, long enough to explain the current Immortal King’s identity, long enough to explain what being sealed within one’s body means, long enough to clarify the current Immortal King’s plans, long enough to recount the origin of the Blessing of All Heavens Lin Yi possesses, long enough for Lin Yi to understand why the Fu Xi Talisman would betray him.

"I’ve told you everything I can, you know in your heart how to proceed. Temporary compromise, keeping the initial intention intact, enduring all difficulties, accumulating strength for a decisive strike, is the way to achieve ultimate victory."

"He betrayed me, betrayed the justice in his heart, I am powerless to stop his actions, all I can do is entrust everything to you. Regardless of success or failure, this will be your opportunity. Try it."

Lin Yi nodded and bowed to the extraordinarily beautiful Ancient Great God before him.

Just as he was about to escort her away, a sentence from the Ancient Great God brought Lin Yi’s spirit into full concentration.

"Cheer up, child. If you wish for Lin You to return to your side again, then elevate your strength as much as possible. The day you fully master my Lifebound Divine Artifact, you will have the ability to grant life to all things, you can bring back those fallen heroic spirits, whether they are Xuanyuan Qingcang or Feng Sanyou’s child."

Hey! What do you mean! Explain to me, what should I do, to what extent should this be done.

Lin Yi cried out passionately, but received no response.

At this moment, a golden "Spirit" character already appeared on the palm of his right hand.

It was the key item bestowed upon him by the Ancient Great God.

Lin Yi trembled as he looked at his right hand, feeling immensely excited.

What infamy, what disgrace, what does it matter.

As long as the outcome is good, it will all have been worthwhile.

Those who have been wronged now can be repaid slowly in the future.

At this moment, Wo Zhiqi appeared behind Lin Yi.

His gray-black claw rested on Lin Yi’s shoulder.

"Kid, keep it up. If I can come back to life or not, it all depends on you."

In reality, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar only felt a brief mental shake, somehow, Lin Yi detached from his control.

Just as he intended to use Nuwa Spirit’s effect once more to capture Lin Yi, Lin Yi raised his right hand, stopping the Immortal King’s next move.

"Lord Immortal King, give me three seconds to prove my stance, I believe you will be willing to give me this opportunity, weren’t you wanting my Enhancement Skill? I will give it to you."

What is this, is this kid begging for mercy?

The Immortal King himself was directing his avatar in battle against the Great Saint, a battle in which he was hugely dominant, utterly suppressing Lin Yi, even leaving Wo Zhiqi within him no chance to make a move.

But is this right, is this kid someone who would easily surrender like this, it’s too odd.

Although considering this might be Lin Yi’s stalling tactic, after weighing it through, the Immortal King still felt confident enough to take a risk on leisure, perhaps Lin Yi would indeed bring him some surprise.

Sure enough, in the next second, Lin Yi appeared on the battlefield, behind the Dragon Queen.

Pfft~

A gray-black sharp sword pierced through the Dragon Queen’s abdomen, simultaneously a wave of Yin Cold Power swept over the Dragon Queen’s entire body.

It was the extreme cold exclusive to the Divine River Song, the chilling aura from the Nine Nether River, rapidly flowing through the Dragon Queen’s entire body, following each blood vessel from the wound.
