Xiyue battled Moloch, using a combination of Chaos Law and borrowed Divine Power to force Moloch's divine essence into a golden flame. Lin Yi revealed that this was part of a plan to help Xiyue ascend to godhood by refining Moloch's essence. While Xiyue began the dangerous process of absorbing the divine power, Lin Yi used his skills to silence and gather media personnel, preparing to announce Blue Star's safety.
Lin Yi generally shied away from the spotlight. The reason the media from Parallel Blue Star were granted such close access was entirely for Xiyue's benefit. To ascend as a god, Xiyue needed to master numerous abilities beyond divine power, with the control of planetary will being a particularly crucial one. Lin Yi had become the ideal leader in the eyes of all Blue Star's citizens, thereby earning the approval of the Blue Star Will and gaining the authority to freely allocate it. As a god, Xiyue was also required to master this power. Today offered the most opportune moment to meet expectations, and the media's publicity served as the best form of support. Lin Yi's primary goal in having Xiyue confront and defeat Moloch alone wasn't solely to acquire Moloch's powers, but significantly to gain divine power and the endorsement of the Parallel Blue Star public. Without Xiyue's intervention, Moloch had been an unstoppable force on Parallel Blue Star; even a combined effort of all its strongest individuals couldn't halt his destructive rampage. It wasn't until Xiyue finally intervened that this Demon God was subdued, restoring peace to Parallel Blue Star. "You all likely witnessed firsthand how formidable the Demon God's might was. Over three hundred War Gods from the Professional Alliance were rendered insignificant before it. I'm not exaggerating; that is the unvarnished truth. Had Xiyue not stepped in, it's highly probable that everyone in this Maoxiong country would have been annihilated by it." "The previous Heaven-Breaking War God, Blue Star's strongest, fell victim to this Demon God, who in turn was vanquished by Xiyue. This starkly illustrates the disparity in their strength. To put it simply, Xiyue saved this planet, becoming the undisputed strongest on Blue Star. Is that not a fair assessment?" As someone who had transmigrated, Lin Yi's oratorical skills were exceptional. In mere minutes, speaking before the broadcast equipment, he left everyone present and all viewers utterly captivated. The War Gods, in particular, who had been saved by Xiyue, felt a profound sense of gratitude towards her. Having personally battled Moloch, they understood the terrifying nature of the Demon God far better than ordinary citizens and recognized the magnitude of Xiyue's accomplishment in defeating him. Setting aside their debt of gratitude, a sincere assessment of Xiyue's power undoubtedly placed her as the strongest on Parallel Blue Star, with no room for dispute. At this juncture, they paid no heed to the opinions of national leaders or the reputation of the Blue Star Professional Alliance; to lie before the global audience would be the ultimate disgrace. Consequently, they unequivocally acknowledged Xiyue's power and her status as a savior before the world's cameras, without reservation. Once their safety was assured, the media personnel's initial excitement subsided. Lin Yi, utilizing the creative power of Taichu, restored their voices. Realizing that interviewing Xiyue was the most captivating topic on Parallel Blue Star, the media, without prompting from Lin Yi, began capturing footage of the golden sphere Xiyue had transformed into from various angles. While filming, they provided running commentary, dissecting and elaborating on the statements made by the War Gods of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, offering their interpretations to address audience queries. For any points they couldn't clarify, they directed their questions to Lin Yi, such as the reason behind Xiyue's transformation into a sphere of light. The high-ranking officials of the Blue Star Professional Alliance were left seething after reviewing the media reports. The Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, a conglomerate built over centuries by all the major powers of Blue Star, had achieved unparalleled status, influence, and absolute authority. However, Lin Yi's few carefully chosen words had shattered this prestige. The alliance's elite forces had engaged, only to suffer a devastating defeat against Moloch. Then, Xiyue, a single woman, managed to subdue Moloch. The question of who was superior and who deserved reverence was now self-evident. Despite Xiyue having acted under the banner of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, her individual triumph overshadowed the entire organization, rendering the alliance's existence questionable. Observing the relentless stream of comments across various countries' live broadcasts, the senior members of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance were on the verge of exploding with rage, yet they were powerless to act. Lin Yi's audacity in speaking so bluntly before numerous media outlets, disregarding the reputation of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, indicated that his power was equally terrifying.

Should the alliance’s War Gods receive orders to apprehend him, it’s highly probable the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance would become a global spectacle of ridicule.

If their attempt to stop him proved successful, the inhabitants of Blue Star would merely perceive the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance as overly stingy, lacking the grand demeanor expected of a premier alliance.

Conversely, if they faltered in their objective and Lin Yi retaliated, the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance might be reduced to the status of a mere jester.

The influence of public sentiment is undeniably vast.

In under twelve hours, news concerning Moloch's aggression had traversed the entirety of Parallel Blue Star.

On this particular day, every soul on Parallel Blue Star became aware of the existence of a formidable, yet undocumented, individual named Xiyue within the Xia territory.

Those who witnessed the recorded combat between Xiyue and Moloch, irrespective of their age or gender, found themselves becoming devoted followers of that valiant figure.

Possessing unparalleled might coupled with celestial beauty, who could possibly refrain from becoming an admirer?

To safeguard the Professional Alliance’s future reputation on Parallel Blue Star, the senior leadership of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, along with the paramount decision-makers from each nation, hastily journeyed to the site of the engagement to confer with Lin Yi.

These individuals were not oblivious; they recognized that Lin Yi served as Xiyue’s most significant pillar of support, prompting their strategy to negotiate with him.

To put it plainly, the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance could extend Lin Yi the highest level of authority across Blue Star and bestow upon him sufficient renown, ensuring he would ascend to the status of a deity, revered by all.

However, Lin Yi remained utterly indifferent to their overtures.

Would Lin Yi ever depend on others to grant him what he desired?

Lin Yi found the entire situation rather comical.

These individuals, so accustomed to their lofty positions, had evidently lost all reason.

If Moloch harbored the means to obliterate Parallel Blue Star, could Lin Yi not achieve the same?

"Get lost!"

A single command was all it took to utterly shatter the pride of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance, grinding it into the dust.

Despite such a blatant dismissal, the higher echelons of the Professional Alliance dared not utter a single word of protest.

With Lin Yi's formidable presence, no one on Parallel Blue Star would dare to interrupt Xiyue's cultivation process.

Aware that Xiyue's path to success would be a lengthy one, Lin Yi seized this opportune moment to commence his Inner Court training, dedicating himself to comprehending the intricacies of the [Dubhe Strange Scripture].

Distinct from other professionals, Lin Yi's responsibilities were remarkably light.

His objective was merely to grasp the fundamental principles of the skill, allowing him to integrate it into his existing repertoire, after which he could allocate skill points to elevate its proficiency.

A period of two weeks elapsed with remarkable swiftness.

Lin Yi's persistent presence, floating serenely in mid-air for extended durations, gradually transformed into a commonplace sight for the inhabitants of Parallel Blue Star.
