I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: The Inescapable Labyrinth

In order to protect her homeland and loved ones, Ziyue willingly became a member of the Dark Rising Association.

To put it harshly, she was a lackey.

After passing the tests, this young woman helped Dark Rising with a lot of dirty work and hard labor.

Decades flew by, and Ziyue had become numb.

The slogan Dark Rising shouted about overthrowing the oppressive reign of the Celestial Divine Beings and bringing light to this world was nothing but nonsense.

Ziyue was well aware that Dark Rising’s methods were not much different from those of the Celestial Divine Beings.

The only difference was that the Celestial Divine Beings didn’t care about the survival of her planet, while Dark Rising could protect the planet she valued in exchange for something equivalent.

Ziyue knew full well that if she died or left the Dark Rising Organization, her planet would face a dire fate where her cherished family and friends would be devoured by fierce beasts.

When she received the latest mission, it was as if the sky had fallen for Ziyue.

She didn’t know what qualifications she had to make Lin Yi take risks with her.

She didn’t have anything of value to offer; even the five Source Power Elixirs a month, she used them to support the capable young people of her planet, not keeping a single one for herself.

Sadly, even after all these years, she still hadn’t found a second person who could match her strength.

Therefore, when she was pondering what she could offer to request Lin Yi’s help, Ziyue could only think of herself.

“I don’t know what more I can offer; as long as you’re willing to help me and let me live, I’m willing to give up everything. From now on, I’ll be at your service like a beast of burden; you can even ask for my life. As soon as a second person appears on my planet who can take my place, I can give my life to you without hesitation.”

“Please believe me!”

Whether Ziyue’s words were true or not, how could Lin Yi not know?

Over these decades, Ziyue worked diligently without the slightest slack.

While working for Dark Rising, she did her best to improve her strength, never even daring to think about matters of the heart.

The reason Lin Yi was silent was because he felt sorry for this pitiful girl before him.

She had chosen the wrong path.

The number of Source Power Elixirs given by Dark Rising every month might indeed be few.

However, over the course of these decades, the number given wasn’t small when accumulated.

If Ziyue had chosen to consume these Source Power Elixirs herself, her strength would have been several levels higher than it was now, and she wouldn’t have become a pawn that Dark Rising could discard at any moment.

As for the Source Power Elixirs she saved, it’s no exaggeration to say that the quantity could have produced several strong individuals mastering Harmonization Layer Power of the Primordial.

The elixirs were unquestioningly handed over to her own people by hand.

And the fact that her planet hadn’t seen someone capable of taking a leading role could only mean one thing.

That this foolish girl had been betrayed by her own people on her planet.

He activated the Power of the Primordial and transformed it into a set of azure robes, enveloping the woman before him.

Lin Yi gently pushed her away.

“I can help you with your problem; I can even help you leave the mission alive, but I don’t want anything from you, nor do you need to be a beast of burden for me, but I have one condition.”

Lin Yi changed the tone of his words and said.

One condition?

It’s not just one! As long as Ziyue could achieve it, she’d likely agree to ten, even twenty!

Not caring about her own loss of composure, she immediately knelt in front of Lin Yi, begging him to clarify.

“As for me, I like to witness human nature. My condition is, if you can return alive, take me to see your planet and do some tasks according to my arrangements. How about that?”

Lin Yi’s condition was simple.

Ziyue agreed without thinking, also putting forward a request not to harm innocent civilians.

To this, Lin Yi readily agreed.

Ziyue’s planet held no value for Lin Yi.

What he wanted to do was punish those who were guilty.

As for helping Ziyue, that was just en route.

And so, the two reached an agreement.

Even after Lin Yi’s door closed for a moment, Ziyue couldn’t come to her senses and continued to stand dazed in front of Lin Yi’s door.

She had a sense of unreality, as if dreaming.

She couldn’t understand why Lin Yi agreed so easily.

After all, it was risking his life.

Inside the room, Lin You and Lin Qianqian emerged from the Undead Space.

“What on earth just happened? Why couldn’t I perceive this world through your sight anymore? What did you do, Lin Yi?”

Lin You asked worriedly.

After noticing that she couldn’t observe through Lin Yi’s first-person perspective in the Undead Space, Lin You became very concerned.

But for some reason, she, as the Undead Monarch, couldn’t open the door to the Undead Space.

It wasn’t until just now that she successfully emerged from the Undead Space.

“Nothing happened here, everything’s fine, isn’t it?”

Lin Yi, impeccably dressed and neatly styled, indeed looked like someone who hadn’t had a fight.

After thoroughly examining that Lin Yi’s body had no anomalies, Lin You obediently returned to the Undead Space with Lin Qianqian.

Gazing at the spot where Lin You disappeared, Lin Yi’s gaze grew increasingly determined.

“In these Ten Thousand Realms, with countless Celestial Divine Beings, no matter who they are, they can’t take you away from my side as long as you don’t wish it. Rest assured, I will make sure you can safely regain your memories and restore all your strength.”

Lin Yi said in his heart to Lin You.

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Xiyue emerged from her secluded retreat.

With the aid of Source Power Elixirs, her Power of the Primordial had broken through the barrier of the Harmonization Layer.

Coincidentally, today was the deadline Dark Rising set for Ziyue.

Thus, a man and two women set off for the lower dimension.

That’s right, the lower dimension.

Among the world’s Ten Thousand Realms within the Three Realms and Six Paths, the planets in the lower dimension had generally weaker strength, which was well-known.

Yet in the lower dimension, there was an exception.

The average strength of the creatures living on this planet was formidable, and even the planet’s ruler was one whom Lin Yi couldn’t be absolutely confident in defeating.

This is the Nine Netherworld!

This was also the destination for Lin Yi and Ziyue’s mission.

The Nine Netherworld, the final resting place for the Undead.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworld was undoubtedly an Upper-Rank God.

The reason for coming to such a resource-scarce place was solely for the stability of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

In the Nine Netherworld, nearly all inhabitants were Undead; apart from the divine beings overseeing this place, there was also a living person imprisoned here.

No, it should be said, a divine being.

He possessed the ability to transcend heaven and earth, yet this ability to transcend was not about combat power.

His abilities and his sense of justice made those divine beings who set the rules for All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds uneasy.

To prevent their rule from being shaken and to ensure the continuation of order,

they imprisoned this powerful being in the Land of the Nine Netherworld, making him endure the onslaught of the Nine Nether Cold Stream every day and suffer the corrosive pain of the Nine Nether poison.

Dark Rising hadn’t yet reached the point for their grand appearance, needing the support of this mighty being for the opportune moment.

Thus, Dark Rising issued an order for Ziyue to work with Lin Yi to release this powerful being and rely on him to push forward the plan that Dark Rising had been drafting for hundreds, even thousands of years.
