Sun Dachuan, Feng Sanyou, Lin Yi, and Nangong Ling failed the initial trial under the Green Queen's judgment, rejected by the spirit of nature. As Luya Country warriors surrounded them to draw blood for the challenge, Sun and Feng deferred to Lin Yi first. Blades shattered against Lin Yi, who effortlessly froze the attackers into ice sculptures and demanded all forces attack him together, dominating the assault.

Luya Country's warriors boast the power of individual flight, which naturally arms them with a wider array of fighting techniques.

Be it pinpointed, relentless blasts or sweeping barrages of heavy fire, every assault zeroed in on Lin Yi.

A barrage of tactics, diverse armaments, and disciplined formations all showcased the elite battle skills of Luya's warriors, but even this supreme prowess paired with raw might failed to budge Lin Yi even a bit.

Armed solely with an Eternal Law, Lin Yi utterly commanded the entire battlefield.

Though subjected to relentless one-sided barrages for some time, Lin Yi stayed completely unharmed.

Yet persisting like this felt rather dull.

Gangguo awaited Lin Yi with yet another mission to claim.

With that thought, Lin Yi casually lifted his right hand and flicked his fingers.

The Space Attribute skill triggered without delay.

The tagged Green Leaf Queen, utterly oblivious, had been marked by Lin Yi, and her spot was instantly exchanged.

Her subordinate warriors couldn't land a single hit on a foe who offered zero resistance.

For hundreds of years, they'd never lost grip on a battle, leaving this exalted queen used to dictating strategies effortlessly.

Today's utter passivity stirred an unfamiliar dread in her, her brow locked in a tight frown ever since clashing with Lin Yi.

Suddenly yanked right before the enemy with zero warning, she sensed disaster looming.

She held no faith that her protective gear could endure Lin Yi's strikes.

Gazing at the strikingly handsome face mere inches away, the Green Leaf Queen felt no urge to admire.

Driven by raw survival drive, she seized her magical stave, surged power through it, and unleashed a devastating beam straight at Lin Yi's head.

"At this distance, you absolutely...."

The Green Leaf Queen meant to declare Lin Yi's cunning had backfired, pulling the deadliest foe within striking range and baring himself to her mightiest blow.

But right as words formed on her lips, Lin Yi snapped his fingers once more, transforming the Green Leaf Queen’s stave into a massive popsicle in a flash.

Spotting their queen seized, Luya warriors charged at Lin Yi in droves.

Snipers lurking in shadows unleashed condensed source laser shots aimed at Lin Yi.

Yet these strikes, which sparked hope in the Green Leaf Queen, proved utterly futile against Lin Yi.

Firepower that could routinely pulverize metal and rock simply dissolved the instant it hit Lin Yi, vanishing like a pebble dropped into the ocean, stirring not a single wave.

Close-combat fighters on hoverboards, brandishing huge blades or thrusting spears, lashed out with savage fury.

But regardless of their ferocious swings, every assault halted dead the moment it neared Lin Yi.

This overwhelming control utterly crushed the Green Leaf Queen’s last glimmer of hope.

Even as she shot Lin Yi a venomous glare, ready to spit defiant words like letting him have his way.

Lin Yi broke the silence.

"I say, do you all have water in your brains?"

"Do you insist on fighting? I see your clearance criteria are quite playful; hurry up, if you don’t want your country destroyed, hand over the materials and the additional intelligence promptly."

Leveling Luya Country posed no real challenge.

But rummaging for materials on his own? What a drag.

Besides, Lin Yi had vowed to Latar before stepping in not to wreck the quest instance; razing this nation wouldn't sit right.

With their queen's throat in his grip, Luya Country's warriors turned meek at once.

"Brother Dachuan, tell them what materials to get, don’t be polite with them."

"Regarding intelligence, take what you should."

.....

Thus, Lin Yi's firm directives ensured smooth progress for everything.

Sun Dachuan secured his quest materials, and the four received the prophecy about what lay ahead.

Yet upon hearing the prophecy, Lin Yi's face grew far graver than earlier.

Noticing Lin Yi's shift in demeanor, the other three fell quiet, too wary to probe further.

Only the Green Leaf Queen, thoroughly exasperated from the rough handling, stewed in resentment and provoked Lin Yi further.

"The future you see will ultimately come to pass; our Luya clan’s prophecies have never failed. There’s a reason Jade Guang Bodhi didn’t choose you, if you insist on using your abilities to foresee undesirable outcomes, who can stop you!"

The Green Leaf Queen wore a haughty sneer, arms folded defiantly across her chest.

It was clear Lin Yi's harsh tactics had struck the Queen's deepest nerves time and again.

Were she strong enough to overpower him, she'd never tolerate this face-to-face banter.

Is this sarcasm? But look who’s using sarcasm.

This queen seldom indulged in sarcasm; she typically just wiped out those who displeased her.

Lin Yi saw no need to quarrel.

His mind delved deeply into the scenes he had witnessed until the instance's notification chimed.

[Congratulations to Xia Dragon God War God Lin Yi for achieving the hidden achievement: I Call the Shots!]

[Congratulations to Dragon God War God Lin Yi for obtaining a 30% natural affinity]

[Congratulations to Dragon God War God Lin Yi for acquiring the title: Dominance]

The system's announcement pulled Lin Yi's attention back.

Guided by the notifications, Lin Yi accessed his panel to examine the prizes he had gained.

30% natural affinity?

What sort of prize could that be?

[Natural Affinity]

[A unique affinity available to the Chosen Ones, influencing their luck and providing some auspicious/divine protection depending on its level]

[Current affinity: 30%]

[Acquisition Method: ???]

Combat somehow revealed this rare stat?

No trace of it existed in Shenxiao’s entire database.

[Dominance]

[Mythical Title]

[Effect: Having this title — it works without being equipped. Upon entering any quest instance or space, it randomly reduces the restriction effect of the instance or space by -1]

[Note: My rules are the rules!]

Though the Dominance title offers limited abilities, its value proves immense.

Its random -1 restriction reduction packs incredible strength.

Countless Descent Abyss instances pose great challenges through special rules that hamstring most challengers' powers.

Should the vital restriction get nullified, the instance's difficulty would plunge dramatically!

Furthermore, the title's power isn't confined to instances alone—it activates everywhere without equipping.

Bringing Sun Dachuan along on the trip brought forth surprisingly lavish rewards.

All previous irritation faded away completely.

Sun Dachuan's adept guidance allowed the four-member team to reach the instance portal safely, where Qatar and the others continued waiting.
