Chapter 482: 355. You call yourself the Life Goddess? Take your hand off my face! [Big Chapter]_2
Emperor Xueye picked up the card and easily crushed it with his palm.
The Red card quickly turned into specks of light that scattered in the air.
And to everyone's surprise, they did not find themselves ascending en masse. Instead, a white mist began to spread, enveloping all those present and adding a hazy, dreamlike quality to the scene.
The Divine Realm was not above the sky, but in another space.
This was something Lin Yi had known for a long time.
"There seems to be a strong Spiritual Energy hidden within this white mist, even more abundant than at the heart of the Aquipeia Forest," Di Tian murmured in surprise.
Gu Yuena nodded and snorted coldly, "The cruelest bunch live in the place where Spiritual Energy is most abundant, what a joke."
At that moment, the two of them were stunned.
They saw Chrysanthemum Douluo from Martial Soul Hall bowing his body, frantically inhaling the white mist as if to absorb all the contained Spiritual Energy into his body.
Ghost Douluo could not stand it any longer and kicked Chrysanthemum Douluo in the butt, "I can't fucking stand you! We're already in the Divine Realm; can you at least act the part?!"
He turned to Bi Bidong, speaking seriously, "Your Holiness, I request to throw this guy out, to avoid one rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel. Otherwise, what would the Divine Realm think of our Martial Soul Hall?"
But Bi Bidong had no mood to respond at the moment.
What did the Divine Realm think of Martial Soul Hall? It was uncertain if they were even a consideration in the eyes of the Divine Realm, a bunch of fools!
As this thought crossed her mind, the people shrouded in white mist suddenly stumbled, falling to the ground as if the floor had done a hundred and eighty-degree flip.
Lin Yi sat steadily on his mat, quietly feeling the changes around him, aware that they had arrived in the Divine Realm.
The group got up in surprise, peeling away the dense white mist around them, and the mist, as if alive, began to roll in all directions, gradually revealing everyone's bodies.
The air here was indescribably fresh, the sky seemingly wider than any they'd seen on Soul Land, with oddly shaped boulders floating midair, and in the distance, golden palaces gleamed, everything around them ethereal and dreamlike, like a realm you'd only step into within a dream.
Everyone was extremely curious, speaking in hushed tones, merely using their eyes to take in their surroundings, deeply impressed.
But the wise had already started sitting cross-legged, meditating and cultivating, like Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The Spiritual Energy was abundant here; cultivating in this place would definitely be much more effective than on the continent.
Unlike him, lacking in shame, the others could only look on.
The ferocious beasts remained vigilant the entire time, forming a circle, even thoughtfully surrounding the less combat-capable Bi Ji in the center, with no mood to enjoy the scenery.
Lin Yi said somewhat teasingly, "It seems we aren't too lucky; no gods seem to be nearby."
Indeed, there were no gods in the vicinity—they had been transported to a rather remote location.
But Lin Yi knew that the sudden appearance of nearly a thousand uninvited guests would have definitely caught the attention of the Divine Realm's Law Enforcers.
It wouldn't be long before they arrived. If the situation was better, they might choose to observe first. If worse, they would probably launch an attack directly.
Such prideful bunch.
Wait...
Lin Yi's ears twitched, and in a moment of reverie, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter.
The laughter was incredibly clear and melodious, like a refreshing spring falling on rocks in a hot summer mountain stream, bringing comfort to those who heard it.
Was there someone nearby? No, a god nearby?
Had I not noticed just now?
Never mind, attack first.
Lin Yi said to Emperor Xueye, "Let's begin. The effect of your reward enhancement will appear after the rewards drop."
Emperor Xueye immediately nodded.
However, he suddenly scratched his head awkwardly, "Sword Douluo Your Majesty, could you assist me with one attack? The Lightning Conduit Kite surely can't be used here, right?"
Actually, it had nothing to do with the Lightning Conduit Kite; rather, Emperor Xueye had already reached his own damage limit and could not deal any more damage. However, due to pride, he was reluctant to admit this.
"Of course."
Chen Xin walked over and stood beside Emperor Xueye, giving Lin Yi a bow.
Emperor Xueye proactively explained the offensive mode he was prepared to use and the corresponding damage. After making some calculations, Chen Xin also determined his own mode of attack.
Once their discussion was complete, Emperor Xueye was the first to summon his Martial Soul.
Blue-purple scales covered his skin, with lightning and streaks of electricity flashing across them.
He let out a low growl, "Martial Soul True Body!"
The seventh Soul Ring rose from his body, instantly making Emperor Xueye's figure become massive, his muscles bulging like hills, as the white mist around whirled away to the sides.
Meanwhile, Chen Xin also summoned his Martial Soul. The Seven Kills Sword, glowing with a snow-white light, flew out of its sheath and into Chen Xin's hands.
The Second Soul Ring lit up on his body.
Emperor Xueye's Eighth Soul Ring then emerged.
Just as the two were about to attack, an extremely pleasant female voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"Stop it!"
And just as they were about to release their skills, Emperor Xueye and Chen Xin seemed to freeze where they stood, unable to move, sweat beading on their foreheads as if their joints had rusted.
"Uncle Jian! Your Majesty!"
Miss Ning shouted in panic, trying to rush forward but was quickly pulled back by Gu Rong.
The crowd retreated in horror, for they saw a green-gold light enveloping the bodies of Sword Douluo and Emperor Xueye, seemingly the cause of their immobility.
Lin Yi, sensing something, looked in a certain direction.
There, a beautiful woman with long golden-green hair, dressed in a green gown, walked determinedly towards them, her slow steps inexplicably covering the distance swiftly.
Everyone was soon awe-struck by her appearance and the aura she exuded. Clearly, she was a god, but what shocked them even more was that the last time they saw a level 3 god—Thor—he had only five rings of light.
Yet this woman had a full nine circles of light at her back!
Nine circles!!
What kind of god has nine circles of light?!
Level Two God? Or a First-Level God?!
As the goddess with nine circles of light made her way towards Lin Yi, the crowd stepped back, clearing the way.
The goddess with nine circles of light spoke, her voice as pleasant as before, "From where do you humans come? How did you stray into the Divine Realm? And you two, why are you bullying him?"
The woman looked around the crowd, as if thinking that the thousands gathered there were bullying Lin Yi, who was seated in the middle.
Lin Yi was certain that the laughter he heard at the very beginning had belonged to this goddess, and the circles of light behind her confirmed her identity.
One of the Supreme Gods of the Divine Realm, the Life Goddess.
The Life Goddess had been nearby all along, but she couldn't have laughed for no reason. Lin Yi followed her gaze and indeed saw a man enveloped in a purple aura, watching from a distance.
No wonder. The Destruction God was also present.
With a flick of her finger, the Life Goddess quickly lifted her control over Emperor Xueye and Chen Xin. Another light flick and her Divine Power sent them tumbling backward several turns.
Then, the Life Goddess turned her attention back to Lin Yi. Suddenly, her eyes widened in utter shock.
Stepping forward, the Life Goddess touched Lin Yi's cheek with her fair finger, emitting a faint green-gold light.
"So dense, so dense, such dense life force... You have the densest life force I've seen in a human, no, it's denser even than mine!"
Her voice conveyed her current level of astonishment.
Nonsense, I've got nearly nine hundred billion hit points, Lin Yi glanced at her. He then reached up and grabbed the Life Goddess's wrist, pulling her hand down, seemingly displeased with her touching his cheek without permission.
Chapter 483: 356, Lin Yi: This reward is really troublesome; let me deal with the Destruction God [Major Chapter]_1 first.
This child, won't allow touching?
This was the first time in her life that the Life Goddess got rejected. She was the goddess who could bring about beauty and hope; everyone, including other gods, would feel an irresistible urge to approach her, to get closer to her.
There was no possibility that someone would dislike her—a result of the inherent instinct of creatures to seek benefits and avoid harm, just as sunflowers grow towards the sun.
But this boy, he lacked such an instinct?
At a distance, the Destruction God, who saw Lin Yi holding the Life Goddess's wrist, showed a slight change in expression.
However, he did not come over; the Life Goddess had ordered this. She could easily discern that these were humans, and out of her kind nature, she feared that the aura emanating from the Destruction God could harm these mortals. Hence, she asked the Destruction God to stand still as a punishment.
After all, these were more than a thousand innocent lives, and the aura of the Destruction God was enough to annihilate them all.
"You are quite an endearing child, yet why do you not like me?"
The Life Goddess smiled while frowning, obviously very interested in Lin Yi.
On this point, Lin Yi's Charm value had played a significant role.
This surge of ten thousand in Charm value could attract even the Supreme God, just differently in terms of strength; the Life Goddess would certainly have much more resistance than Bi Bidong and the rest of the humans.
"Why should I like you? Those who like you simply yearn for the vitality. But I do not lack life force."
Lin Yi spoke indifferently, at the same time letting go of her hand.
The goddess looked at Lin Yi in silence for a while, as if unable to find any counter-argument because what Lin Yi said made perfect sense.
The Life Goddess bent down with a smile, her green-golden skirt falling amidst the thick mist.
"I am curious, why do they bully you? Even to the point of bullying you all the way to the Divine Realm?"
Having said this, the Life Goddess turned to look at the others. She still thought of Lin Yi as just a child, perhaps without the right to speak, so she attempted to wait for someone else to answer her query.
But she quickly realized that all the people here were bowing their heads, not even daring to look at her.
How ridiculous, the ones who bully others don't have as much courage as the little guy being bullied. It is truly puzzling.
"How did you come to the Divine Realm? If it was by mistake, I could send you back."
She added gently, without a hint of impatience.
Because she understood that humans who end up in the Divine Realm by mistake are surely very panicked; they shouldn't be frightened by the gods here.
"It wasn't a mistake; we will go back quickly after we finish our business."
Lin Yi spoke indifferently.
Life Goddess: c( O.O )ɔ
She turned to look at Lin Yi, her emerald eyes filled with astonishment.
You, you little guy, your words make it sound like you can freely traverse the Divine Realm?
And why is it that so far, it is you who have been talking to me? Aren't you the weaker party being bullied? But now, you seem like the leader.
The Life Goddess was puzzled.
"The business you mentioned, does it refer to them attacking you?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes."
She suddenly laughed, "You indeed won't die easily. If it were those two just now, they would have to attack you more than two million times to truly kill you. But even so, getting hit must hurt a lot, right?"
Truly befitting the Life Goddess, to be concerned about whether I am in pain.
Lin Yi smirked to himself while maintaining an indifferent expression, "I won't feel pain, can they continue? Afterward, we'll leave on our own, and not bother any of you."
Yet the Life Goddess smiled and shook her head, "No, that's not possible. Your very presence in the Divine Realm is not permitted. Had you met someone other than me today, perhaps that person, or another, might have resorted to violent means to expel you."
While speaking, she gestured towards the Destruction God standing in the distance, then straightened up and said with a touch of sentimentality, "The Divine Realm governs more than just Soul Land; there are countless humans, and those gods are haughty beings. They wouldn't take the lives of a thousand-plus people to heart, might even regard you all as a potential destabilizing factor for the Divine Realm, adhering to the belief that it's better to mistakenly kill than to miss an offender..."
As the Life Goddess spoke, there was a trace of sadness in her expression, but then she smiled faintly, "Perhaps this is what they think disqualifies me from being a Law Enforcer. I am too soft-hearted, even more so than my kind sister."
"Strange, why am I telling you all this… you should hurry back, that person has quite the temper."
The Life Goddess spoke gently to everyone present, once again pointing to the Destruction God who stood far away.
Everyone was stunned, their perception of gods utterly changed in that moment.
Lin Yi knew that this woman in front of him wasn't complaining about the other gods, nor was she just talkative; she was warning these thousand people, alerting them that the Divine Realm was an extremely serious place, and to enter it casually is tantamount to joking with one's own life.
There was no denying that she was a woman with good intentions, but...
Lin Yi was a stubborn person.
Having come all this way, could he simply return without completing the mission?
"I am sorry, I refuse."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, the Life Goddess became conflicted. She had thought humans were clever, able to understand their circumstances and distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.
But why was only this young man speaking, while the others were mute?
If that was the case, she could only allow that Destruction fellow to take action, though she would strictly supervise him—certainly, she wouldn't let him kill at will under her watch.
