I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Old Friend or Foe

Long before this, the Dragon Queen had already heard of Lin Yi’s ruthlessness.

However, after several interactions, Lin Yi seemed quite amiable, so much so that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a cultured gentleman. This made the Dragon Queen doubt the intelligence received.

Now, this doubt was completely dispelled.

His words were indeed refined and amiable, making one feel very comfortable, but this sudden deviousness did make one feel somewhat at a loss.

Yet, there’s no denying the logic behind Lin Yi’s words.

After the vile deeds of the All Celestial Divine Beings were exposed, they had to seriously screen the members of the Dark Rising.

The Dark Rising has developed rapidly over the years. Its members are spread throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths, which is both a good and bad thing.

The saying ”Water can carry a boat or overturn it” is absolute truth.

The numerous members can provide the Dark Rising with the most comprehensive and timely information, allowing Dark Rising to gain initiative in their actions.

But so many members also hasten the exposure of the Dark Star.

The Dragon Queen had witnessed the ugliness of human nature.

To those vile people, the importance of life versus interests is clear in their minds.

Once their actions are careless and they’re caught by the henchmen of the All Celestial Divine Beings, they surely would disclose everything they know in exchange for a chance to live.

From this perspective, Lin Yi’s analysis indeed made sense.

The Dragon Queen found herself in a dilemma.

In the Dark Rising Organization, the Dragon Queen had considerable say, including altering mission content as per her authority. After Lin Yi’s reminder, she suddenly felt conflicted.

”There’s an old saying, ’The success of a general comes at the cost of many bones.’ Previously, the All Celestial Divine Beings sacrificed the entire Demon Slayer Tribe for their rule, so isn’t it fair for the Dark Rising members of various galaxies to provide us with intelligence without participating in the battle? Compared to the Shagui Tribe, they don’t suffer unjustly.”

Lin Yi’s words were indeed harsh, but they all made sense.

To avoid potential troubles ahead, the Dragon Queen had no choice but to agree with Lin Yi’s proposal.

”Alright, then go ahead without worry.”

”Whatever happens, I’ll back you up.”

Thus, the Dragon Queen gave Lin Yi four coordinates to carry out his mission of cleaning up the Divine Soldiers.

Lin Yi was quite pleased with this.

With the protection of Dark Rising, he could freely execute tasks, and with the Dragon Queen’s approval, he could gather the materials he wanted without constraints, enabling him to fully develop the effects of his equipment.

The powers held by the strongest on these lower dimension planets are limited.

Even a Divine Soldier can rely on the small amount of Divine Power within to achieve complete dominance.

There’s no choice, martial artists can’t compete with cultivators, if they could, there would indeed be something odd.

The planets targeted for conquest by Divine Soldiers were, without exception, those dominated by Dark Rising.

To ensure task efficiency, Divine Soldiers indiscriminately slaughtered those who resisted until Lin Yi arrived.

With Lin Yi’s power, even without utilizing the Divine River Song, he could easily defeat Divine Soldiers.

Each time, Lin Yi arrived timely, always saving the day just as Divine Soldiers were extracting information.

Ziyue accompanied on this operation, curious why Lin Yi, holding the Divine Artifact Divine River Song, didn’t simply conduct a large-scale massacre to eliminate all Dark Rising members.

Instead, he would only seek out top leaders on a planet under threat of betrayal and dealt with them accordingly.

To Dark Rising members, Lin Yi was a Savior.

The All Celestial Divine Beings and Divine Soldiers have become like street rats in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Driven by justice, Dark Rising members refuse to compromise.

But alas, they can’t defeat Divine Soldiers.

Lin Yi’s appearance offered hope to these wavering individuals, showing them the strength of Dark Rising and fortifying their resolve to stay loyal.

”The ones aware of our information on this planet are merely its second-in-command. As the leader of the planet’s Dark Rising, any wavering stance is unacceptable. What if he betrays us one day? Therefore, he must be eliminated.”

”Secondly, there’s a reason for eliminating the planet’s strongest warrior: he’s already opposed to Dark Rising, only balanced by the second-in-command. Once gone, how will Dark Rising fare on this planet? It’ll be his sole domain.”

”As for the ordinary folks, having witnessed my power and heard tales of the All Celestial Divine Beings, deep down, they already know which side to stand. They are currently an exploitable resource for Dark Rising, at least for gathering intelligence. Wouldn’t you agree it’s appropriate to spare them?”

Ziyue’s thinking speed couldn’t keep up with Lin Yi’s, which she acknowledged, but she didn’t expect the gap to be that wide.

After hearing this, she admired Lin Yi’s intelligence even more.

”No wonder the Dragon Queen values you so much. Turns out, you’re not only brawn but also quite clever in the mind.”

These words were indeed heartfelt praise from Ziyue, but for some reason, Lin Yi felt quite uncomfortable hearing them.

This way, Lin Yi successfully gathered three more sets of the tools ”Fate of Kings” and ”Heads of Traitors,” spending only a few hours.

At this pace, it wouldn’t take long for Lin Yi to collect the materials necessary to activate unique attributes of his Mythical Equipment.

But all things reach an extreme, and then reverse.

Logically, in a place like the lower dimension, Lin Yi shouldn’t encounter a truly powerful deity, yet on the fourth mission planet, he met Zacks, with whom he had exchanged glances.

A long time passed and Lin Yi’s strength had improved considerably, but even now, he couldn’t gauge Zacks’s power.

Lin Yi intended to consult Wo Zhiqi and the Great Saint on how to deal with this deity, but neither Wo Zhiqi nor the Great Saint showed any interest in acknowledging Lin Yi.

If not for the Martial Soul skills functioning normally, Lin Yi might have suspected he’d been backstabbed.

”Kid, long time no see. Your strength has increased substantially, truly those absent for three days warrant fresh eyes. Your rate of growth surprises me a bit, so what, now you dare oppose the All Celestial Divine Beings?”

If it was another god, Lin Yi wouldn’t hesitate to throw a few lines regardless of their power.

But facing Zacks, Lin Yi always felt indebted.

If Zacks hadn’t lent a hand and taught him powerful skills back then, Blue Star might have fallen into Calamity’s grasp.

Lin Yi paused before speaking.

”The All Celestial Divine Beings are immoral, sacrificing the lives of all creatures across the Ten Thousand Realms for personal gain. Doing this aligns with the trend of the times. I owe you a debt and know your power is great; I’m likely not your match, but I won’t retreat.”

”To be honest, I’ve been anticipating this battle for quite some time, eager to fight you hard. I didn’t expect this day to arrive so swiftly.”
