I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 996: Chapter 996: The Real Show Has Just Begun

No matter who acts, there is always a consideration of the future involved.

Dark Rising fears the terrifying power of All Gods, the gods from various factions are wary of making moves too seriously, afraid it will make them lose leverage in negotiations with the Immortal King; the pawn is cautious, worried that defeating the Immortal King might make him unhappy, thereby inviting trouble for himself.

Life is a one-way journey, all things experienced are like that speeding train; once missed, one can only disembark at the alternative stop.

”You had reservations, not placing your black piece at the most opportune moment, where it should have been placed.”

”Winning against me was not your initial goal; you ought to carry through your belief. If you can’t achieve this, you’ll never accomplish what you truly desire.”

”In your lifetime, how many goals do you have? Achieving just a few is already commendable.”

The Immortal King imparted wisdom while playing against the pawn.

Watching as the chessboard’s situation gradually turned in the Immortal King’s favor, the pawn’s mood began to grow increasingly restless.

Everything the Immortal King said was correct.

His identity and status indeed greatly influenced the direction of this chess game, but who can deny that the Immortal King’s identity and status aren’t a part of his strength?

Piece by piece, the Immortal King’s advantage on the chessboard continued to expand.

In the end, the Immortal King successfully consumed all the pawn’s pieces until there was no place left on the board for a black piece to reside.

The pawn lost, lost thoroughly, lost everything.

Just moments ago, the Immortal King was pushed to the brink on the chessboard, with victory evidently only a step away.

The pawn fell silent.

There are some facts that cannot be denied.

Just like how the pawn’s eyes were fixed on the chessboard, the sight of the board full of white pieces captured his gaze yet failed to be processed by his brain.

The pawn was dazed, not knowing when the Immortal Emperor had already walked up behind him, resting his hand on the pawn’s shoulder.

”Kid, life is like this chess game, remember today’s battle well, consider the lessons within, think about how to choose, how to act, it will all affect your future. This game of chess today will be your life’s most precious wealth.”

A pawn can’t comprehend too many things.

But as time goes by, he will see that, for the Immortal King, the Three Realms and Six Paths are no different from the pieces on his chessboard.

Just like the current battle situation.

Lin Yi, by a stroke of luck, managed to single-handedly take on Ying Gou, one of the Four Great Corpse Kings.

The other three Corpse Kings faced Dark Rising’s Seven Heroes and were at a disadvantage yet showed no signs of defeat.

In a short time, to achieve major shifts in the battle situation relies solely on All Gods.

Though Divine River Song is indeed a precious gear.

It’s not a must-have for the Immortal King.

Precisely for this reason, the Immortal King pardoned Luo Bingxin’s betrayal, even helping cleanse her of stigma, allowing her a chance to start anew, also granting Luo Bingxin the opportunity to obtain the Divine River Song.

The Immortal King is the strongest ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

He never engages in losing trades.

Promising Luo Bingxin such rewards, not for anything else, is because the value Luo Bingxin brings far exceeds these rewards.

Picks up the Communication Spirit Crystal to establish contact.

On the other side of the screen stands thousands of Divine Soldiers and numerous Divine Generals with considerable Divine Power.

”Is everyone in place?”

The Immortal King spoke blandly.

The several generals at the other end of the Communication Spirit Crystal nodded.

”With Luo Bingxin’s assistance, there’s hardly any doubt, we’ve nearly entered the mid-plane, entered the territory of Dark Rising, during this time the mid-plane has made quite a commotion, most members of Dark Rising are too occupied to guard the line, giving us plenty of options for action, awaiting Your Majesty’s orders.”

The Immortal King watches as the layout of the Three Realms and Six Paths shifts in the direction he anticipates, unable to resist showing a triumphant smile.

After a round of strategic planning, he finally reaps the rewards.

”Build the passageway, your task is just this, against formidable foes, refrain from action unless necessary, supervise those self-proclaimed righteous ones, let them handle the dangerous tasks.”

That’s not to say anything else, but the Immortal King’s command warms the hearts of his subordinates.

Desire Realm.

Members of Dark Rising scattered across various planets are conducting volunteer arrangements under the guidance of each planet’s Dark Rising leader.

Dark Rising Headquarters’ information processing system is of immense importance to Dark Rising, something these marginal members can’t comprehend.

However, one thing they clearly understand:

Those Four Great Corpse Kings are certainly difficult to handle, or else such a large organization as Dark Rising entrenched in Desire Realm would not be forced to the extent of changing their headquarters.

”What to do, Dragon Queen, should we retreat?”

In this battle, Dark Rising’s Seven Heroes poured their all out, using every skill and talent they possessed, yet even so, the fleeting opportunity to seal the Four Great Corpse Kings couldn’t be grasped, instead, their Divine Power and Taichu were extensively depleted.

Needless to say, at this moment the Seven Heroes are at the very end of their rope.

Hekong’s output wasn’t high enough, as a result, he repeatedly chose to confront strong foes of Corpse King Level head-on, solely to deliver more output.

Unfortunately, a vice C is still a vice C, in cases of evenly matched strength, and in enemy’s defense being exceptionally formidable, effective output is unachievable.

He himself, due to frequent charges, his attack patterns being too predictable, was seized by the Corpse King Drought Demon, costing him an arm.

As for the other six heroes, their situation isn’t much better.

Especially the Divination Genius.

His weapon, from the commencement of the battle, was guarding by his companions’ side, shielding them from harm.

Despite its noble gesture, his weapon bore an unbearable weight.

The Divination Strange Man, scorching the battlefield, simultaneously protecting seven targets, when guarding everyone, the pressure his weapon shouldered was sevenfold that of guarding only himself.

Under such circumstances, if there were no issues with the Divination Genius’s weapon, it would be ghostly; faint cracks rather unnoticeable appeared on his Lifebound Divine Artifact.

Regarding Dragon Queen and the others, their once splendid battle robes became rather disheveled, some even exhibited damage.

The Seven Heroes’ efforts against the three Corpse Kings resulted in such negligible outcomes.

This greatly dampened the spirits of the Seven Heroes.

”These four damned fellows truly are trouble, even with just three left, we still can’t find a chance to seal them. Now we can only retreat.”

In her lifetime, Dragon Queen has never fought such an aggravating war.

As the first generation Dragon God, apart from her mighty exclusive skills, she harbors great physical strength, so formidable that even the high-level strong ones within the Dark Rising Organization view her as a threat.

But in front of Corpse Kings, those attributes, once her pride, became nothing but a joke.

The Corpse King is intent on claiming her life, her attacks barely tickle the Corpse King.
