I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 621: Competing with the Gods for Glory

The fist, an abyss of darkness that gleamed with a metallic radiance, unleashed a tempestuous gale. This wind possessed the power to cleave mountains and divide rivers, wringing mournful sighs from the very air around the man it menaced.

Yet, the man caught within this onslaught felt no oppressive weight, not even bothering to divert his gaze. His slender eyes remained locked onto the woman before him, who attacked with her utmost ferocity, a profound pity coloring his expression.

From his vantage point, the desperate efforts of the female War God were merely the misguided folly known as passion. How could one who lacked the very right to touch the Power of the Primordial dare to impede his progress?

Bearing the vessel of a deity, he found it beneath him to even evade a human's Forbidden Curse. The colossal steel fist of the Giant Gundam, not only impervious but imbued with a force of no less than a hundred tons upon impact, descended.

Such a devastating strike – how many warriors of Blue Star would dare to confront it directly? Yet, before the War God Xia Xi Yue, this enigmatic man was the first to exhibit such audacious defiance. He made no move to defend, nor did he tap into his inner Source Power to erect a defiant countermeasure as the Gundam's iron fist hurtled towards his forehead.

A stark disparity existed between the hundreds of feet of the Gundam and the mere two meters of the man. The giant robot's fist alone dwarfed the mysterious figure by dozens of times. However, instead of unleashing the anticipated world-shattering impact, the colossal iron fist dissolved into dust, scattering on the wind just short of its target.

In a single, astonishing instant, the entire arm the giant had launched vanished without a trace. This spectacle left every War God within the G Zone utterly dumbfounded.

It was no wonder they had spent their lives in fruitless pursuit of understanding. No, to be precise, they had never possessed the inherent right to even touch the Power of the Primordial. The sight of the Forbidden Curse dissipating before their very eyes was entirely beyond their comprehension.

Their understanding, confined to the elementary level of Blue Star, lacked the imaginative capacity to conceptualize a power and manifestation that so utterly annihilated the Supreme Law. The automatons conjured by the Mechanical Forbidden Curse operated without self-awareness; regardless of the power disparity, they felt no fear. Even if half their form lay in ruins, they felt no pain, nor did they falter even a fraction. By the time Xiyue attempted to recall the Gundam robot, it was tragically too late.

The Power of the Primordial that enveloped the man surged forth with a terrifying gravitational pull, akin to an unstoppable black hole, drawing the immense Gundam robot towards him. The inevitable clash between laws rarely yielded any outcome other than dominance – one must ascend while the other must fall! The Supreme Law of the Harmonization Layer proved utterly defenseless against the Power of the Primordial, facing an inescapable doom.

The repercussions of the shattered technique surged through Xiyue’s five internal organs instantaneously, violently churning her blood and Qi, causing a coppery taste to flood her mouth. Unable to stifle a single breath, Xiyue expelled a mouthful of fresh blood.

The scene unfolding before them struck Lin Guodong and his wife like a physical blow, wrenching their hearts with immense sorrow. Xiyue, a woman not only of breathtaking beauty and formidable power, but who, in the presence of their son and themselves, willingly shed all her pride and cast aside her sharp edges, content to be merely a gentle woman. Now, with this uninvited intruder threatening them, Xiyue risked her very life to stand at the very forefront – how could the elderly couple bear to witness such a sight?

“Stop!”

“Is it not us old folks you seek? We will accompany you; just do not trouble the children!” The Lin Guodong couple pushed through the assembled crowd, rushing forward, their voices calling out to the man suspended in the sky.

The lingering weakness from the backlash left Xiyue with a profound sense of powerlessness. She understood with absolute clarity that even if all the War Gods present were to fight with their lives, they might not be able to contend with the mysterious man for even a fleeting moment; any effort they exerted would only prove futile.

As the targeted individuals revealed themselves, the man’s eyes finally ignited with a spark of interest, his form blurring as he instantly appeared before the Lin Guodong couple. “You two, those words seem rather misplaced, don’t they? I did not compel this girl to take action; she…” The man’s face radiated confidence, but in the very next second, his smile froze solid.

“How, how can this be!” The darkened sky abruptly reverted to its former brilliance; as a Caster, he could distinctly perceive that the barrier separating the G Zone and the Imperial Capital, which he himself had erected, had been effortlessly nullified. Someone, no, a deity, had breached the barrier he had established in the Imperial Capital using Divine Power!

It was at this precise juncture that the Blue Star War Gods, who had been poised for action, all stilled themselves. A profound contrast was evident compared to their earlier self-serving inclinations. Having partaken in the advantages bestowed upon them by Lin Yi, their collective mindset had gradually undergone a transformation, leading them to a nascent understanding of the true meaning behind the human destiny community.

How could they permit an unknown entity to abduct Lin Yi’s parents, to witness Lin Yi’s woman fight valiantly on her own? Through the keen perception of the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi bore witness to the entire unfolding spectacle. At the very least, a profound sense of gratification now settled within him. Every endeavor he had undertaken for Blue Star felt undeniably worthwhile.

"You are the Divine Envoy, am I correct?"

"Upon grasping the gravity of the situation, you descended to sow discord; I never fathomed I’d be cornered by you Divine Envoys to such an extent. One could say I’ve proven rather capable, don’t you think?" As he shattered the confining barrier, Lin Yi positioned himself directly before his parents. While his stature might not be described as towering or majestic, the instant Lin Yi materialized, Lin Guodong and his wife found their composure. Xiyue let out a soft exhalation and sank onto the ground; the War Gods, who had been poised to intervene, saw their anxious visages instantly replaced with resolute confidence.

Having only recently imbibed the Divine Power Elixir, Lin Yi had not yet fully assimilated its potent essence; at this juncture, radiant streams of visible Divine Power still emanated around him. Having shared acquaintanceship for decades, how could the enigmatic individual fail to recognize the aura encircling Lin Yi as the very Divine Power belonging to the Ram-headed Divine Envoy, who had invaded Blue Star alongside him? What weighed heavier on the mysterious man’s psyche was not merely the Divine Power pilfered from his associate, but Lin Yi’s current formidable presence.

A mere mortal, yet wielding an aura that rivaled that of a Divine Envoy; such astonishingly swift growth in a young individual – could it truly be acceptable for the celestial deities to remain indifferent? It is widely acknowledged that this youth bears the Great Saint Martial Soul. Should this burgeoning hero ever find himself presented with a true opportunity, potentially resurrecting that troublesome simian and inheriting its complete repertoire of abilities, it remains uncertain if even the pantheon of gods could successfully contend with Lin Yi then.

As a deity, an immensely powerful entity tasked with upholding the cosmic order across numerous celestial bodies in the lower planes, the man possessed an inherent arrogance befitting the strong. Nevertheless, he was compelled to concede that Lin Yi’s might was substantial, having single-handedly elevated Blue Star to its current elevated status through sheer force of will. On typical lower-plane worlds, even if their most potent champion invoked the very will of their planet for assistance, such an act would invariably prove futile against the might of a Divine Envoy. Lin Yi, however, had defied this established norm through his own inherent prowess, and as a fellow Divine Envoy, the man could not help but acknowledge Lin Yi’s exceptional capabilities.
