Lin Yi was pushed to his limits by Zacks, who was slowly devouring his body. Encouraged by Wo Zhiqi, Lin Yi realized the interconnectedness of all things, leading him to discover the commonalities between his [Immortal] skill and Zacks' power. By combining these, Lin Yi managed to recover and even enhance his abilities, causing Zacks to withdraw. Lin Yi awoke with a new golden aura, expressing his gratitude to Zacks, who revealed his true face and seemed pleased with Lin Yi's growth.

Zacks smiled slightly, lifting Lin Yi gently with divine power.

"Across the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, only you meet my requirements. You don’t have to thank me so much; we have mutually achieved something together. Now it seems, you are the only hope to break the rules of the Three Realms and Six Paths, guiding this world toward the direction it should develop."

Watching Zacks reveal his true form, two Great Saints within Lin Yi simultaneously manifested.

"So it was really you, huh."

The mini version of the Great Saint’s Soul flew to Zacks, punched him in the chest.

Clearly, Zacks and the Great Saint were old acquaintances, and their relationship seemed quite good.

"Who else could it be? Among the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, who possesses power like mine and is willing to join your antics? If I weren’t acquainted with you and hadn’t seen you become Lin Yi’s Martial Soul, who would have rashly helped you deal with the Divine Envoy?"

Listening to the conversation between the two powerful figures, Lin Yi understood at last.

The Great Saint had known everything all along; he simply hadn’t informed Lin Yi.

On reflection, indeed it’s obvious. Zacks has no personal ties to Lin Yi, so why would he help him? Lin Yi should have guessed that Zacks was helping because Lin Yi’s side has acquaintances of Zacks.

Moreover, the name Zacks clearly didn’t match the name of the cultivation technique he passed to Lin Yi.

How could a Western divine being possess a Xia cultivation technique?

"Don’t agonize over names. When the time is right, you will naturally understand."

Zacks finished speaking, gathering divine power into his right palm. Then he gently clasped toward the direction Ao Shu had flown, using divine power to pull the unconscious Ao Shu in front of him.

Ao Shu’s face was speckled, her unconscious self still knitted her brows, seemingly worried about Lin Yi’s safety.

That chubby little face looked extremely adorable, and Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed.

This was the first time Lin Yi allowed this little girl to fight alongside him. Although Ao Shu was his battle pet, in Lin Yi’s heart, Ao Shu was no different from his younger sister.

After handing Ao Shu over to Lin Yi, Zacks clasped his hands in respect toward the location of Wo Zhiqi.

"Junior greets Senior Wo Zhiqi."

Wo Zhiqi was never fond of these cumbersome courtesies.

Though the two weren’t powerhouses of the same era, during Wo Zhiqi’s demise, the strength of all celestial divine beings had greatly strengthened.

Take Zacks now, for instance; his prowess matched Wo Zhiqi’s at his peak.

The duel between Zacks and Lin Yi revealed this fact.

"Ah, quite unnecessary. Here, strength reigns supreme. Though you are a junior, your current power is not much less than my peak. Such a courtesy is truly redundant."

Having heard Wo Zhiqi say this, Zacks naturally showed respect.

Now is not a time for courtesy.

The Three Realms and Six Paths are brimming with the forces of all celestial divine beings.

Even as an upper-rank god with great martial prowess, "Zacks" cannot linger here for long.

At present, he cannot reveal his rebellious side; he needs to use his identity among all celestial divine beings to accomplish many tasks.

"You’ve comprehended the third layer of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill. Though not fully realized, it’s much better than before. Skills comprehended in this manner have practical use. While I don’t know how you managed to master so many varied skills, I am certain you have a method to perfect them."

"Now you can use the powers you’ve mastered to save this little girl. By the way, I have quite a connection with the Dragon Race; I wonder if I went a bit heavy-handed this time."

Saying this, "Zacks" waved to a nearby black hound.

The black hound, hearing its master’s call, eagerly bounded to his side, affectionately rubbing against Zacks.

No need for elaborate farewell between men.

With a wave of his hand, Zacks, alongside his battle pet, lifted the restraint on the independent space and departed the planet.

Xiyue had already fully recovered with the help of the Midgard Serpent’s Martial Soul.

The reason she didn’t approach immediately was sensing Zacks’ friendliness.

"Lin Yi, who is he?"

At that moment, Lin Yi was healing Ao Shu.

Thanks to the Dragon Race’s robust physique, Zacks’ attack hadn’t inflicted any substantial harm on Ao Shu, leaving her in a controlled stupor, colloquially known as knocked senseless without brain damage.

Watching Zacks disappear into the distance, Lin Yi smiled slightly.

From Zacks’ current actions, he deduced his true identity.

No wonder such strength resides in that guy.

He can completely take "Zacks" as a target; once he surpasses Zacks’ strength, he will have the qualification to challenge all celestial divine beings.

"He is a rather remarkable god."

The surroundings dispersed, Lin Yi and his companions reappeared in front of the warriors of this planet.

Seeing Lin Yi captured within the special space by the abruptly arriving divine being, many assumed Lin Yi was doomed, likely to be killed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi and his group emerged intact from that special space.

Though Lin Yi’s garments appeared tattered and somewhat disheveled, he didn’t seem at a disadvantage.

Representatives from various planets, seeing Lin Yi’s formidable strength, immediately stepped forward upon his emergence, kneeling respectfully to show their reverence.

"Master of Dark Rising, blessed by your intervention, our planets finally have a respite. We earnestly ask for a chance — lead us, and thereafter, simply issue a command, and we will do whatever it takes."

"Do whatever it takes."

"Do whatever it takes!"

The unified cries echoed through the sky.

Yet Lin Yi, cannot agree to their demands.

How deep the waters of Dark Rising truly are, Lin Yi still hasn’t grasped.

He isn’t in a position to lead so many to Dark Rising’s headquarters.

However, Lin Yi previously cultivated his forces on Bisite Star. The planet’s people are tenacious and venerate Lin Yi’s power greatly; sending them to Bisite is indeed a promising option.

Given several members possess strengths Blue Star cannot compare to, having them safeguard Blue Star’s safety is a good decision.

"With your current achievements in Dark Rising, you probably can’t enter the headquarters. Nevertheless, I can arrange a place for you to cultivate and await my command, offering you lifelong peace. What do you say?"

This crew had no choice but to accept Lin Yi’s proposal.

Since the planet was already under the scrutiny of all celestial divine beings, sudden appearances of formidable entities are inevitable. To live peacefully, the only choice is to leave.

Lin Yi’s arrangements are temping and clear; refusal is baseless.
