Lin Yi secured a task to arrange a meeting with Mr. Gongsu, carefully planning to avoid exposing Blue Star's location. He continued his training in the Upper Plane, his Divine Power Level nearing the highest rank. Reflecting on the vast resources of the All Gods Camp compared to Dark Rising, Lin Yi discussed his progress and concerns about his Divine Power Level with the Divine River Song, who transformed into a crow. Lin Yi then called upon the Fu Xi Talisman, seeking its insight into the Immortal King's intentions regarding his training, while also recognizing the talisman's own complex history and guilt. The Fu Xi Talisman, after a brief exchange, returned to Lin Yi's portable space, leaving Lin Yi to consider his next steps.

With a snap of his fingers, the Divine River Song on his shoulder transformed into a large eagle. Lin Yi leapt lightly and landed on the eagle’s shoulder.

"Let’s go. We can’t rush too fast. We need to take our time while that guy is inside, or we risk messing things up by being too clever for our own good."

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the back of the Divine River Song, heading towards the lower realm from the Celestial Human Dao of the Formless Realm.

The identity of the High Priest was indeed useful; not only would he not be questioned at any checkpoint, but those guarding the gates had to politely salute Lin Yi.

This was the status of the Immortal King’s representative in the Divine Realm.

The problem with the Dark Rising Organization was perfectly resolved in Lin Yi’s first year joining All Gods’ Influence:

Except for the Divination Genius of the Seven Heroes who was lucky enough to escape, all the others were exterminated by All Gods’ Influence.

Even though the information system was robust, the Dark Rising Organization was completely unable to assemble its forces again, and the other forces that resisted the dominion of the gods wisely gave up their resistance and abandoned unrealistic ideas.

Starting from the second year Lin Yi joined, the structure of the Three Realms and Six Paths perfectly confirmed that saying:

When people see the radiance of your success, they forget the darkness of your methods.

History is written by the victors. Even if all beings of the Three Realms and Six Paths knew that the gods’ professed justice was nothing more than grandiose rhetoric, there was no fool who would stand up and speak ill of the gods.

The matter of Lin Yi betraying the Dark Rising Organization would only be praised as the act of a wise person, hailed as making the right choice.

In the subsequent eight years, Lin Yi focused on one thing.

That was to settle accounts with the various divine beings who backstabbed the Immortal King back then.

Initially, Lin Yi’s power was relatively weak, and he could only use the title of High Priest to target those with the weakest power and lowest status in entire factions, venting his anger on them.

The factions being settled with thought they should step back for the Immortal King’s sake and tacitly accepted Lin Yi’s actions.

But as time went on, they noticed that Lin Yi’s power grew stronger and the factions and people he settled with became increasingly formidable.

By the time they wanted to adopt a tough stance, it was already too late.

Busy with these matters, Lin Yi’s power improved rapidly. Over the past eight years, Lin Yi was so engrossed in this task that he rarely left the Formless Realm. Those responsible for guarding the junction of the Formless Realm Hell Dao and the Desire Realm Celestial Human Dao had scarcely seen Lin Yi.

Years later, seeing Lin Yi again gave the guards a sense of having entered another world.

Over these ten years, Lin Yi had scarcely changed significantly.

Time hadn’t left any marks on his face; Lin Yi was still as young and handsome as ever.

If anything was different, there certainly were quite a few differences.

In terms of appearance, Lin Yi had changed somewhat.

Over the years, his clothing had become much simpler. It wasn’t that his attire wasn’t high-end; the colors of his clothes had just become increasingly monotonous.

Secondly, it was Lin Yi’s aura.

In these few years, Lin Yi’s Divine Power Level and understanding of Taichu had advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, Lin Yi’s aura had become much more restrained compared to when he first arrived in the Divine Realm.

To put it this way, the Divine Soldiers guarding the junction couldn’t perceive any wave of Divine Power, Taichu, or even Source Power coming from Lin Yi’s body.

The black eagle flapped its wings in the sky and, as they were about to reach the checkpoint, turned into a mass of gray-black liquid and entered Lin Yi’s body.

Then, they saw Lin Yi’s figure gently descending.

"Greetings, Lord Priest."

The guards at the junction of the two realms were extremely strict.

The passage connecting the two realms was a wide white corridor.

After joining the All Gods Camp, Lin Yi learned that this white corridor was anything but simple.

Upon setting foot in this place, one would undergo special inspection. Only with highly sophisticated disguise methods could one’s identity remain undetected for a short period.

Moreover, there were many concealed special turrets on both sides of the corridor.

These turrets were not ordinary; they were made of materials that ignored all forms of power.

Being immune to Divine Power meant that ordinary means could not defend against them; only personal strength could withstand them.

Trying to force one’s way through here would be an extremely challenging task.

Even a top-level expert with a Divine Power Level reaching Level A wouldn’t be assured of retreating unscathed.

The guards glanced at Lin Yi, feeling that he was completely different from a few years ago.

His steady aura made it impossible for anyone to see through him.

Lin Yi, meanwhile, smiled slightly, giving a friendly impression and casually took out a few inferior Source Power Elixirs from his personal space, offering them to the guards.

Now, Lin Yi was a Priest, holding a significant position within the All Gods Camp. It was no exaggeration to say that those who could show attitude against Lin Yi in the Divine Realm were few and far between.

Despite this, he had always maintained the same low-key demeanor as when he first joined the Divine Realm.

When interacting with others, he would always offer whatever benefits he could.

Initially, the gods, not wanting to be accused of forming cliques, were very averse to Lin Yi’s actions and tried to keep their distance.

As time went by, everyone realized that Lin Yi had no ulterior motives and decided to just let it be.

The gods accepted Lin Yi’s small gifts with cheerful smiles.

Low-level Source Power Elixirs were almost worthless to Upper-Rank Gods, but they were priceless treasures to the Divine Soldiers responsible for guarding.

Seeing the items Lin Yi took out, several guards’ eyes literally lit up, filled with such excitement that they lost themselves for a moment.

"Lord Lin Yi, what’s this?"

Using Gravity Manipulation Skills, he gently handed the items to the hand of the guard squad leader. The few Source Power Elixirs in hand were negligible in weight, but the condensed power made the squad leader’s hand tremble uncontrollably.

"At my level, these things are no longer useful. They’re stuff given from above. Previously, I didn’t find a use for them, and it would be a waste to just hold onto them. It’s rare that you call me ’lord’; hence, here they are for you. There aren’t many, so don’t mind."

Mind? They were in no position to mind.

As Divine Soldiers serving All Celestial Divine Beings for a year, wasn’t it just for a few of these scarce Source Power Elixirs?

Lin Yi casually giving away a few for free—how could they mind that?

Grateful words filled the air.

Lin Yi didn’t waste any time; after handing over the items, he leapt lightly. The Divine River Song in his body appeared again, transforming into a large eagle that carried Lin Yi swiftly towards the direction of the Desire Realm Celestial Human Dao.

Watching Lin Yi’s disappearing figure, the Divine Soldiers responsible for guarding felt an immense sense of gratitude.
