I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 938: Philosophy Hidden in Everyday Life

Ever since becoming a War God, he had been running around to maintain peaceful coexistence among the various nations on Blue Star, and later he kept cultivating outside to resist external forces and continuously improve his own strength.

Time like this, quietly staying at home, was truly rare.

"No, Dad. You looking for me?"

After calling out, Lin Guodong pushed open Lin Yi’s bedroom door and walked in.

In a father’s eyes, no matter how strong his son becomes, no matter how many burdens he shoulders for Blue Star, he is no different from when he was just born.

As a father, he will always want to share some of the burden for his son, even if he can’t shoulder much.

"Kid, when you were talking today, I kept feeling you were a bit lost."

"Is there something you can’t figure out?"

Thing is, when they were discussing Blue Star’s future just now, plenty of people were listening, yet somehow none of them heard the confusion hidden in Lin Yi’s words.

"Yeah, kind of. It’s just that what I’d firmly believed in my heart doesn’t feel as unshakable as before."

"I suddenly realized that what I’m doing doesn’t seem that meaningful. Even if I succeed, I still won’t be able to stop this world from entering a vicious cycle."

Seeing the confusion in his own child’s eyes, Lin Guodong smiled.

When it came to combat, as a life-type Professional, Lin Guodong indeed had no say, but the philosophy that could dispel confusion didn’t only exist in battle.

Lin Guodong sat down on the bed and patted his son’s shoulder.

"Kid, you know what your old man used to do. Before you showed your edge, the work your old man did was not easy at all. Day in, day out, I was doing the same thing. What I saw every day was all the same. After a long time, I also started to doubt whether what I did had any meaning."

Lin Guodong smiled faintly.

"Back then I’d get lost too, thinking about the meaning of life. Watching you and your mom, just like me, repeating your work every day, with nothing new in life, no surprises in our days—at that time I doubted whether my life and the work I was doing had any meaning at all."

"But after a few days I figured it out. What I was doing was meaningful, because it was time for you to go to school, and all the wages I earned went to paying your tuition. Heh, right? Doesn’t that make the work I repeated every day meaningful?"

Everything Lin Guodong said was plain everyday talk.

But the great truth contained in it was something Lin Yi hadn’t thought of.

Wasn’t Lin Guodong’s work the same as what Lin Yi was doing now?

He earned money to support the family; whether it was meaningful no longer had much to do with his own personal feeling, because without that income, Lin Yi wouldn’t have been able to grow up properly.

The problem Lin Yi was tangled up in now didn’t really matter.

If he didn’t become stronger, let alone making All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds jump out of that original vicious cycle, he wouldn’t even be able to protect Blue Star.

Willingly letting himself be taken away by that so-called Divine Envoy—Lin Yi refused.

Letting the entire Blue Star be buried with him, Lin Yi would never just stand by and watch that happen.

Wasn’t it exactly for this that so many things happened afterwards?

Besides, if he wanted All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to develop in the direction he hoped for, he’d either have to persuade every thinking being in the Three Realms and Six Paths to stop plundering the weak and develop peacefully. How could that be possible?

Aside from that, the only thing left was to use absolute force to restrain everyone’s actions. So Lin Yi could not stop moving forward on the path of becoming stronger.

Suddenly enlightened, Lin Yi broke into a smile.

"Got it!"

Happy times were always short.

During this period back on Blue Star, Lin Yi met quite a few people, including of course his alma mater, Shenxiao.

As the dean of Fu Xi Academy, Lin Yi really couldn’t refuse a trip to Shenxiao.

Of course, after that, Lin Yi headed for the South Pole Ice Cave.

If one had to say what else on Blue Star was particularly remarkable besides equipment Enhancement technology, then the South Pole Ice Cave had to be mentioned.

Lin Yi didn’t have many skill points left at the moment.

During this period of seclusion, not only did Lin Yi raise the level of each stage of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill quite a bit, he also pushed it from Undying, Indestructible, Unbreakable up to Immovable.

After comprehending the fourth layer of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, Lin Yi finally understood why Zacks could suddenly shake off his passive state and launch a counterattack against him during their battle.

[Immovable] was the fourth-layer Cultivation Technique of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, and its effect was quite impressive.

The Great Celestial Immortal Skill’s ability to negate all abnormal statuses was outstanding, but not perfect.

The effects you suffer in battle are far from limited to abnormal statuses.

For example, when Lin Yi’s clones launched their attacks together, it was an unbroken barrage, and the effect it produced was not simple at all. Even a powerhouse like Zacks could be constantly pinned down, unable to gather Divine Power and Taichu before being interrupted by the next strike, let alone anyone else.

Zacks was able to break free from the passive state while being besieged by clones precisely by relying on the [Immovable] effect in the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill.

This skill was just like its name—Immovable:

Once activated, the user could forcibly stabilize their stance. No matter how powerful the enemy’s attacks were, they could not shake the user’s position.

Back then Zacks had launched his counterattack using this very effect.

Combining the [Unbreakable] skill with [Indestructible] did indeed consume a huge amount of Taichu and Divine Power in battle, but if matched properly and activated at the right time, they often produced unexpected results.

Besides cultivating in the Inner Court, Lin Yi also spent quite a lot of skill points to upgrade these skill effects. Over the span of half a year, Lin Yi’s physical attributes had grown tremendously.

This was why the Dragon Queen was so shocked at Lin Yi’s changes the moment she saw him.

Right now, with this trip back to Blue Star, skill points were lacking and time was tight. If he wanted to raise his strength to his ideal level in the shortest time, the best method was to head to the South Pole Ice Cave to cultivate.

At the same time, a massive conspiracy was quietly brewing in the Upper Plane.

Northern Europe’s Divine King Odin was sitting together with Zeus, chief of the Olympus gods.

The two had been drinking for quite some time now, their faces both flushed a deep red.

"Hahaha, that move of yours is really vicious, Zeus. Kicking that Immortal King when he’s already a mess, that’s truly immoral. But I really am looking forward to seeing him fly into a rage. Last time at the meeting he could still pretend to stay calm; I don’t believe he can handle it so calmly this time."

Odin stroked his beard and clinked his glass against Zeus’s.

"I’m looking forward to it too. For this matter, we of Olympus have prepared for who knows how many years. You guys on your side have started moving, right?"

"Of course. The sooner this thing starts, the better. Oh, and the people from Dark Rising are already in position. Shall we take a look? Command this grand show from afar?"

As Odin spoke, he took out a Communication Spirit Crystal from his personal storage space.
