Lin Yi dismantles the Forbidden Curse and subtly manipulates Thunder Battle God into sending elites from the Beautiful Country into a trap. Moloch unleashes a devastating fireball, obliterating the invading professionals. Lin Yi then uses gravity manipulation and teleportation to deliver Thunder Battle God and other War Gods directly into Moloch's fiery grasp, sacrificing them to complete his scheme and prepare for the dawn of his God-Making Project.

Dozens of dragonfly-shaped reconnaissance units had flawlessly documented the entire scene, transmitting the visual data directly to Lin Yi's gaze.

Journalists, renowned for their acute sense of opportunity, had immediately perceived the unfolding drama surrounding the Heaven-Breaking War God, sensing a compelling news story.

However, the presence of the Blue Star Professional Alliance maintaining strict order prevented them from getting close enough to capture any footage.

They were barred not only from filming but also from obtaining any information about the ongoing events.

Demonstrating extraordinary generosity, the Dragon God War God of Xia had a plan.

After identifying the locations of the gathered journalists, he bestowed upon each a Light and Shadow Mark. Subsequently, he utilized the skillful maneuver known as the [Intertwining of Light and Shadow] to transport them directly to the main event.

Hundreds of journalists from across the globe, who had been anxiously contemplating how to navigate the crowded battlefield to capture the most dramatic moments, were suddenly astonished to find themselves positioned at the very entrance of the barrier erected by Lin Yi.

"Everyone, feel free to film," Lin Yi announced.

"No unauthorized personnel will impede your work; please capture every detail as you see fit."

Witnessing the journalists entering the secured area, He Shuai and other high-ranking War Gods from Xia were utterly bewildered.

"Good heavens, what is this absurdity?"

Journalists possessed an unsettling tenacity; they disregarded the potential for their reports to destabilize the nation. Once footage was secured, it would be disseminated at maximum speed to television networks.

If the citizens of Parallel Xia were to witness a young man in his twenties so thoroughly dominating Xia's War Gods that they dared not even speak, how would these distinguished War Gods ever regain their standing back home?

Just as He Shuai was preparing to rally his colleagues to prevent the journalists from recording, he observed his teammates engaged in strained conversations with those nearby, conspicuously avoiding eye contact with both the journalists and Lin Yi.

This avoidance wasn't limited to the professionals from the Xia Camp; individuals from other nations exhibited the same hesitant behavior.

"Who would possibly intervene at this juncture?"

If even Moloch hesitated to provoke Lin Yi, what made them believe they could succeed?

Without a complete understanding of the situation, they risked being swiftly eliminated. Why concern themselves with idle journalists when survival was at stake?

Reporting the events as they unfolded might result in a loss of prestige, but challenging Lin Yi could very well mean the end of their lives.

Initially, the journalists, unexpectedly teleported to this location, maintained a cautious stance.

They hesitated to even retrieve their recording equipment.

However, upon carefully assessing their surroundings, they realized that professionals from various countries indeed showed no inclination to interfere.

With this realization, and after expressing their gratitude to Lin Yi, the journalists promptly initiated their live broadcasts of the scene.

Yet, as they filmed, a sense of incompleteness began to emerge.

Something was decidedly missing – an individual to interview.

Xiyue and Moloch were locked in combat, making any attempt at an interview impractical. Interviewing Lin Yi also seemed unfeasible, as his recent emergence on Parallel Blue Star meant his pronouncements might be dismissed as mere jest.

After some contemplation, Lin Yi identified a suitable candidate.

"Damn it all! What kind of background does this guy possess?"

"Observe Xiyue's demeanor towards him; it's evident she's allied with him. Blast it, such a stunning female War God isn't mine! I must find a way to deal with that brat!"

Seeing his companions beginning to disengage, He Shuai felt powerless to intervene.

Even a combined effort wouldn't suffice against Lin Yi, let alone a solo confrontation.

Unable to bear the frustration, he retreated to a secluded spot and quietly voiced his resentment towards Lin Yi.

So engrossed was he in his thoughts that he failed to notice his surroundings had shifted. Consequently, he inadvertently spoke his mind aloud.

"Indeed, eliminate that brat! He must be eliminated! Count me in!"

Upon hearing an affirmative response from behind him, He Shuai leaped up with startled excitement.

Believing he had found an ally who understood his frustration, He Shuai exclaimed with newfound energy.

"Brother, you understand me! Together, we shall..."

But upon turning and seeing the assembled journalists and Lin Yi, his fervor instantly evaporated.

"Hmm? Together for what? Who are we eliminating? Tell me. With my strength, anyone you name will perish. Speak up, Brother He Shuai, and I shall act."

Lin Yi's gaze was piercing, like a honed blade, and He Shuai found himself unable to meet his eyes for more than a fleeting moment.

"What's wrong, my friend? Feeling a bit reserved?"

"Don't be like that. Come now, these are media representatives from our Xia. You've likely encountered them before. Don't be shy; tell them what transpired here."

Lin Yi placed a hand on He Shuai's shoulder, sending a tremor of apprehension through him.

He then leaned in and whispered a stern admonition near He Shuai's ear.

"You would be wise not to misrepresent the situation. It is best to adhere to the truth. Should I detect any fabrication, I will utterly crush you!"

Following Lin Yi's menacing warning, He Shuai was consumed by a sense of impending doom.

He had meticulously cultivated an image of being both handsome and competent in Xia. If this interview were to go poorly, wouldn't he be reduced to the perception of a craven coward?

The god-making initiative, orchestrated by Lin Yi, commenced its operations without delay.

Xiyue's combat prowess paled in comparison to Moloch's might.

Nevertheless, heeding Lin Yi's admonition, Moloch adopted a cautious approach, ensuring his training exercises with Xiyue mirrored actual combat scenarios as closely as possible.

Having mastered the elements to harness the Power of the Primordial, Xiyue possessed an acute sensitivity to flames.

During her sparring sessions with Moloch, she absorbed numerous subtle details and acquired several techniques for flame manipulation, sparking her own unique insights.

This intense and spectacular battle raged for eleven consecutive hours, with neither Xiyue nor Moloch showing any inclination to cease.

Meanwhile, He Shuai found himself verbalizing both prudent and imprudent statements.

He confessed that the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance was no match for Moloch, and furthermore, the imbeciles from the Beautiful Country suffered a catastrophic loss of over a hundred individuals to a solitary Fireball.

He even declared that had Xiyue not maintained the defensive line, Moloch would have decimated half of Blue Star.

While these assertions held truth, they were hardly appropriate for public dissemination before the global media.

Unsurprisingly, He Shuai faced a stern reprimand from his superiors.

Leaders from other nations, equally incensed, personally contacted the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, demanding the dispatch of capable professionals to neutralize Moloch.

The professionals affiliated with the Alliance remained conspicuously silent.

Observing Xiyue's meteor-like abilities clashing against Moloch's fiery onslaught, it was evident that their power levels operated on a completely different plane compared to this Parallel Blue Star.

To engage in a serious conflict would be akin to inviting certain doom.

However, a refusal was ultimately untenable; the professionals enjoyed a plethora of resources and privileges, making failure to act during critical junctures inexcusable.

After half a day's deliberation, the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance assembled a contingent of 347 War God Level elites, who then proceeded towards the territory of the Maoxiong nation.

Upon the arrival of these 347 War Gods before Lin Yi, his reaction was not anger, but rather a surge of delight.

At long last, the stage was perfectly set for Xiyue, and the supporting cast had made their grand entrance!

"You, your designation is Lin Yi, correct?"

Leading this elite team from the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance was a charming woman of impressive stature.

Lin Yi perceived within her the presence of the Power of Chaos and the Power of Creation, indicating her strength far surpassed that of typical War God-level cultivators.
