I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Severing the Bonds

The most shocking thing for Xiyue was the number of elixirs Ziyue saved over these thousands of years.

Xiyue was very aware of the effectiveness of the Source Power Elixir, even though the number required for upgrades would exponentially grow, these hundreds of pills were still enough to greatly enhance Ziyue’s strength.

The pile before her, wasn’t merely Source Power Elixirs but represented the years of Ziyue’s striving.

”As you see, these two fellows aren’t incapable of enhancing their strength, they’re simply intent on getting something for nothing. If I’m not mistaken, these two would consume the Source Power Elixirs whenever their lifespans are nearing an end to prolong their lives, just to freeload more resources from you.”

”As for the character of these two, you’ve seen it with your eyes, how to act, you must decide for yourself.”

The situation was already clear.

Roger and Liang Hong felt like the sky had fallen.

They never expected these words to apply to them.

Lin Yi and Xiyue were brought by Ziyue, no matter how they begged for mercy, it was likely futile. It would be better to plead directly with Ziyue.

”Master Ziyue, please, spare us, give us another chance. We haven’t touched your possessions. We were just confused for a moment, and will certainly follow you and protect the planet in the future.”

”Yes, Master Ziyue, we will follow you from now on, heed your every command. You command us east, we dare not go west.”

In the face of their pleas, Ziyue walked closer to them with a face full of icy chill, as if she did not hear them at all, gathering the Divine Power into her palms.

”The thousand-year destiny is time to end.”

With a calm face, Ziyue pushed two energy spheres, containing obliteration power, onto Roger and Liang Hong.

Without souls in their bodies, the two couldn’t use Power of the Primordial to defend.

Touched by the spheres imbued with Divine Power, their bodies turned to dust in an instant.

It’s over!

Once a body is destroyed to a certain degree, death doesn’t necessarily mean annihilation, but if the physical body is damaged, the harm is immense, even if they can cultivate a new body, future strength is difficult to advance.

Witnessing their own bodies shatter, Roger and Liang Hong felt as if the sky had collapsed. They couldn’t utter a single word of plea.

Having destroyed their bodies, Ziyue gasped for air on the spot, as if she had done something monumental.

”Zi...”

The souls of Roger and Liang Hong were about to plead when two blades of light shot from Ziyue’s hands, shattering their Lifebound Law and souls.

Seeing the furious Ziyue clear away two big shots in one breath, the young men vying for inheritance couldn’t help but gasp in shock, kneeling and smashing their heads to the ground, frantically trying to show respect to Ziyue.

Ziyue gave no response.

To her, the planet no longer held any ties.

Thankfully, most of her hard work remains, hundreds of Source Power Elixirs had not been consumed.

After retrieving Lin Yi’s portion, Ziyue walked towards Lin Yi, returning Lin Yi’s Source Power Elixirs and then storing her share in her portable space.

”Let’s go. From now on, this planet has nothing to do with me.”

Ziyue’s voice sounded choked, cutting away a bond maintained for thousands of years was indeed painful.

No matter how much one experiences with strong resilience, it is inevitable to feel sorrow.

Without Ziyue’s protection, the consequences for this planet are predictable.

Even though the credibility of All Celestial Divine Beings is affected now, their ruling position won’t be too shaken, the development of the Divine Beasts they rear won’t be impacted.

Lin Yi and Xiyue stayed silent, only quietly using the dimensional certificate to open a channel returning to Dark Rising Headquarters.

”Thank you.”

Within the Space Channel, Ziyue spoke up behind Lin Yi and Xiyue.

To which Lin Yi only smiled slightly:

We didn’t assist you much, merely played along in a scene to let you see the true faces of those you protected.

Only played along?

Without Lin Yi, Ziyue might never understand this truth even in death.

If Roger and Liang Hong’s nature persisted, once they accumulated enough Source Power Elixirs to ensure their strength surpassed Ziyue’s, they would certainly betray her.

By then, not only would her thousands of years of effort be entirely wasted, but even her own life would be at risk, which would be tragic indeed.

Just as Lin Yi and the others were about to return to Dark Rising Headquarters, the Dark Rising Ring on Lin Yi’s hand popped up a dialogue box.

Connecting it, Dragon Queen’s amiable smile appeared in front of the three.

”I heard you accompanied Ziyue on this endeavor, was this task successful?”

Quickly wiping the tears away, adjusting her demeanor, Ziyue respectfully answered Dragon Queen’s inquiry, giving a brief overview of the mission.

Dragon Queen simply nodded.

Ziyue’s situation was merely a casual question for Dragon Queen; this contact was mainly to assign a task to Lin Yi.

”Ever since uncovering the true nature of All Celestial Divine Beings, the Three Realms and Six Paths have plunged into turmoil; hence, many Divine Soldiers and Upper-Rank Gods have been dispatched by All Celestial Divine Beings for suppression.”

”Our Dark Rising is not weak, stepping up now could leave a favorable impression in Ten Thousand Realms. You’re very important to us, therefore, I’ll assign you to handle some minor matters in the Desire Realm. With the two big shots within you, you won’t run into accidents, and can familiarize yourself with the Divine Artifact you have; how about that.”

This suggestion was something Lin Yi had no objections to.

Whether it’s the ability of the Master of Ten Thousand Souls or the Undead Monarch, both can enhance Lin Yi’s actual combat power through experience grinding; what reason would Lin Yi have to reject such a task?

Besides, those benefits from Dark Rising shouldn’t be taken in vain, making those guys increasingly fond of him can ensure they willingly protect him when trouble arises.

”Dragon Queen, now that’s something I don’t like to hear.”

What the heck? Is Lin Yi really this ungrateful, rejecting such a simple task offered by Dragon Queen?

Ziyue immediately patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and gave him a knowing look.

Lin Yi turned his head, slightly puzzled:

What, Sister Ziyue, do you also think it’s wrong to say that?

Okay, okay, I shouldn’t bother with you.

Ziyue, feeling awkward, waved her hand to dismiss Lin Yi’s claim, then quietly stepped aside.

”Dragon Queen, I’m already a member of Dark Rising; carrying out tasks assigned by the organization is my solemn duty, no need to ask my opinion on task execution. Well, Dragon Queen, as far as I know, Dark Rising has influence on nearly every planet; now that All Celestial Divine Beings are being investigated, should I act and shut them up decisively?”

Dragon Queen’s once amiable face finally showed a trace of seriousness upon hearing this.
