Lin Yi avenged his past grievances, absorbing Qin Guang's power and memories. Meanwhile, Mokaya and the other Upper-Rank Gods found themselves overwhelmed by the Demon Slayer Tribe and were forced to retreat when Qin Zhu unleashed the Nether River upon them. Mokaya attempted to de-escalate the situation, reminding Qin Zhu of their shared past.

"If you have anything to say, say it to the people of the Shagui Tribe. If they agree to let you go, then I will not persist."

Qin Zhu waved his hand, not giving the ten Upper-Rank Gods any chance to waste words, leading the Demon Slayer Tribe’s warriors to charge once more.

Unlike before, this time with Qin Zhu’s command, the Demon Slayer Tribe’s warriors became even more difficult to deal with.

An enraged Lin Yi gave it his all.

This was the first time Lin Qianqian had seen Lin Yi attack regardless of the disparity in strength.

From his reckless fighting style, it wasn’t hard to see what status Lin You held in Lin Yi’s heart.

With the Nine Netherworld’s great enemy at the gate, as the Little Princess of the Nine Netherworld, Qin Qianqian was supposed to contribute.

But now, she had completely lost the will to protect the Nine Netherworld.

What she wants now is to fulfill her sister’s last wish, to help Lin Yi achieve the ideal world in his heart.

The road out of the Nine Netherworld was unobstructed.

With the token given by Qin Zhu, no Nine Nether Divine Soldier dared to block Lin Yi’s group.

Lin Yi thought the three could leave the Land of the Nine Netherworld smoothly, but unexpectedly, before stepping out of Jiuyou Inner City, they encountered an uninvited guest.

At first, the focused Lin Yi did not notice the arrival of unwanted visitors in the Nine Netherworld. Alternating between using the Thunderbolt Flash and Swift Wind Flash skills, Lin Yi’s traveling speed reached a terrifying level.

Seeing that they were about to withdraw smoothly, they were unexpectedly blocked by someone.

It was a strange man dressed in the clothing of Asan Nation, with gray-purple skin and six arms.

His strength was extraordinary, and he had already blocked Lin Yi before he realized it.

Though unfamiliar, Lin Yi could easily deduce from his terrifying speed and the Eye of All-Seeing deciphering time that the person before him was at least as strong as or even stronger than Qin Zhu.

Facing him with Lin Yi’s current strength would be quite challenging.

"Oh, oh, I didn’t expect to meet living people here. Where are you coming from the Nine Netherworld to go, or say, first disclose your identities? Otherwise, leaving won’t be that easy."

The six-armed stranger waved, observing the Jiuyou Inner City and the undead creatures in the moat.

As he spoke, he constricted the space around Lin Yi.

He confiningly anchored Lin Yi in place, unable to move even a bit.

Then, the stranger snapped his fingers, tearing open an enormous space rift behind him, from which emerged tens of thousands of soldiers clad in identical black armor, wielding the Power of the Primordial and Divine Power.

More precisely, they should be called Divine Soldiers.

As the name suggests, Divine Soldiers are the army commanded by All Celestial Divine Beings.

The strength of the Divine Soldiers was significantly beyond Lin Yi’s.

But compared to lower-plane powerhouses, it wasn’t even close.

The power of these Divine Soldiers was weaker than that of a Divine Envoy, which is why there were so many of them.

Even so, Lin Yi couldn’t underestimate these Divine Soldiers.

Their numbers were extremely terrifying. If they all attacked at once, even Lin Yi could only avoid the edge for now.

Sadly, Lin Yi thought that, but others weren’t giving him a chance.

Summoning tens of thousands of Divine Soldiers to surround Lin Yi and the other two—what else are they after but the information Lin Yi holds?

The threat in the air was barely hidden.

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he had no choice but to confront it.

Just as Lin Yi was about to strike, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Congratulations on unlocking the hidden ability of your Lifebound Divine Artifact."

Hidden abilities in a Lifebound Divine Artifact?

Lin Yi was surprised.

Before he could think more, the scene before him changed.

Everything around turned into a vast expanse of white.

Having weathered many storms, Lin Yi immediately understood he had entered a special spirit space.

While Lin Yi was curious about how he entered this special space, a familiar voice lingered at his ear.

"Lin Yi, didn’t expect we’d meet so soon. Indeed, your power never disappoints me."

The owner of the voice, who other than Lin You?

Just as expected, when the voice stopped, Lin You’s figure reappeared before Lin Yi.

However, the Lin You appearing now was merely Lin You’s Divine Thought.

Even though he had much to say to Lin You, meeting again left Lin Yi at a loss for words.

Lin You, however, smiled, maintaining a great atmosphere.

"Lin Yi, seeing you here, it seems you’ve successfully avenged me, using the weapon I gave you."

Those words from Lin You’s Divine Thought made Lin Yi wonder if Lin You’s consciousness still exists.

If it did, wouldn’t there be a chance for resurrection?

Unfortunately, Lin Yi’s assumption was wrong.

"Of course not. The reason you unlocked the hidden attribute of the Soul-Breaking Skill is that you killed a Divine Being equivalent to or greater than me."

"It’s not hard to guess whom you’d kill. Qin Guang would definitely be your first choice."

Lin You’s analysis made Lin Yi chuckle bitterly:

"Failing to protect you was my negligence."

Lin You didn’t intend to blame Lin Yi for this.

Separation always comes.

Walking this journey with Lin Yi already brought joy to Lin You.

"Congratulations on inheriting my Undead Monarch ability. That’s right, having the usage right of the Soul-Breaking Skill, you’ve inherited my Undead Monarch deity. From now on, you are a true god; as long as you’re willing, All Celestial Divine Beings will acknowledge your status."

Being acknowledged by All Celestial Divine Beings and having tremendous cultivation resources is supposed to be good.

Yet Lin Yi had no interest in it at all.

The reason Lin Yi didn’t inherit Lin You’s Undead Monarch identity the moment he acquired the Soul-Breaking Skill is that this power was too immense.

With Lin Yi’s current body, it still couldn’t withstand it.

Even now, he only inherited a small fragment stored in the Soul-Breaking Skill, belonging to the power of the Undead Monarch.

Lin You told Lin Yi that everything in this world is interconnected cause and effect.

Now, Lin Yi could handle this power because he had obtained similarly powerful Divine Power.

Yes, it came from Qin Guang’s Divine Power.

With Qin Guang’s power of the King of Ten Thousand Souls complementing it, the part of Qin Guang’s Divine Power stored in the Soul-Breaking Skill was also transferred into Lin Yi.

The current Lin Yi needs only to spend time slowly refining and absorbing this power, and he will fully grasp both Lin You and Qin Guang’s power.

Exactly!

What the Soul-Breaking Skill extracts aren’t just attributes!

"Lin Yi, this is the last thing I leave for you. From now on, I am you, and you are me!"

"You must take me to see the world you long for, what it truly looks like."

After speaking, the scene in front of Lin Yi returned to normal.

A rushed explanation, even the farewell, was so urgent.
