I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Helpless Acceptance and the Opportunity for Advancement

The moment the effect of “Contempt of Reincarnation” activated, the defeat of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy was already sealed.

Lin Yi stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by the blessing of the Blue Star Will, as if merging with the heavens and earth.

His gaze was stern, and the Taichu Law in his hand condensed into invisible chains, instantly wrapping around the body of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy. Not only was its ability to move restricted, but even the Power of Law within it was completely stripped away at that moment.

A second of hard control might seem trivial to ordinary professionals, but for a top-tier powerhouse like Lin Yi, it’s enough to turn the tide of battle.

Moreover, the protective Law shielding the Ram-Head Divine Envoy disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Under the effect of “Reincarnation Vision,” Lin Yi saw through the weak point of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy.

It was a golden light point hidden deep within its heart, like a beating heart, but fragile enough to shatter at a touch.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi quickly used the Taichu Law, far beyond the Harmonization Level, to form a visible Bone-Piercing Nail, fiercely piercing into the body of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy.

“Pshh—”

As the nail penetrated the body, the Ram-Head Divine Envoy’s body shook violently, and the fervor for battle and the pride of a god in its eyes dimmed gradually.

At the same time, the Divine Power bestowed by Zacks was mobilized by Lin Yi, transforming into a golden python coiling around the Ram-Head Divine Envoy.

Golden runes spread across its skin, ultimately forming sealing inscriptions that completely locked its Divine Power.

When the Ram-Head Divine Envoy regained control of its body, the battle could no longer be reversed.

It did not become hysterical nor roar with resentment, simply meeting Lin Yi’s gaze with a calm look.

In those deep eyes, there was a sense of relief towards destiny and a faint weariness.

“No wonder even Lord Calamity fell at your hands,” the Ram-Head Divine Envoy spoke slowly, its voice low and hoarse. “The cards in your hand are probably not just these, are they?”

Lin Yi did not answer, merely looking at it quietly.

The Power of Law within the Ram-Head Divine Envoy had been completely restricted, even if Lin Yi left it alone, it couldn’t cause any waves in ten days or half a month.

With victory in hand, listening to it say a few words wouldn’t hurt.

Seeing Lin Yi’s silence, the Ram-Head Divine Envoy smiled bitterly for a moment, then sat down heavily on the ground.

Its actions appeared somewhat clumsy, like an elderly person past their prime, no longer bearing the previous aloof divine stance.

“I actually don’t have many cards left.” Lin Yi finally spoke, his tone calm. “Being able to repel Calamity earlier was purely due to good luck.”

Hearing this, the Ram-Head Divine Envoy shook its head helplessly.

“Perhaps. If I had held on a bit longer, been a bit more serious, maybe I wouldn’t have lost.”

As it spoke, it extended a sheep’s hoof, pulling out a pale golden and translucent crystal from its chest, presenting it to Lin Yi.

“This is the material you need, the ’Heart of Earth’. Additionally, this is the culmination of my life’s work.”

Before it finished speaking, a faint golden light began to emanate from the Ram-Head Divine Envoy’s body. That light, like flowing water, slowly peeled away from its body, gathering in threads in front of its chest, eventually condensing into a pill bathed in dim golden light.

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Even without the Ram-Head Divine Envoy explaining, he could see the pill’s value.

This was a pill condensed from the lifetime Divine Power of a Divine Envoy. Once ingested, it could provide at least five or six parts of the strength of the Condensing Pill Divine Envoy, a significant boost for Lin Yi.

“Are you asking me to spare you?” Lin Yi asked softly.

The Ram-Head Divine Envoy shook its head, its smile appearing particularly calm.

“Without my Divine Power, I am already exhausted. Without the balance of Divine Power, the Power of the Primordial in my body will make me explode. This, you understand better than I do.”

Lin Yi remained silent.

Through “Reincarnation Vision,” he had long seen through the state of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy. Indeed, there was no falsehood in its words.

“I have no such intentions,” the Ram-Head Divine Envoy continued, its tone surprisingly calm.

“I just want to help you. I have grown weary of this unfeeling Three Realms and Six Paths. Perhaps one day, you may truly break the rules set by the gods of the heavens, allowing us ants at the bottom to choose the meaning of our existence.”

Lin Yi was puzzled; could a single battle defeat really cause such despair for a Divine Envoy?

Moreover, he couldn’t have imagined that the god, who was clamoring for his life just minutes ago, would say such words.

“Why are you helping me?” Lin Yi asked softly, full of doubt.

The Ram-Head Divine Envoy chuckled, its smile tinged with bitterness and helplessness. “I have lived too long, witnessed too many rules and constraints. The battles among gods, the struggles of mortals, are nothing more than an endless cycle. I once believed that power was everything, that with enough power, one could control their own destiny. But I was wrong.”

Its voice gradually lowered, as if recalling a long past.

“Power cannot bring true freedom. On the contrary, it only traps one in deeper constraints. I am tired of it all, tired of living a life governed by rules. And you, Lin Yi, you might have the chance to break it all.”

Lin Yi did not reply, reaching out to take the ’Heart of Earth’ and the Divine Power Elixir.

Upon touching the Divine Power Elixir, he felt a warm strength, as if countless tiny light points were dancing in his palm. It was the essence condensed from the Ram-Head Divine Envoy’s lifetime power.

“Thanks.”

Such an explanation was indeed tenuous but at least acceptable. Moreover, this elixir held significant meaning for Lin Yi at this moment.

As the Divine Power Elixir left its grip, the Ram-Head Divine Envoy’s body began to gradually turn transparent, as if it might dissipate into the air at any moment.

“Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. Another Divine Envoy also came to Blue Star this time. He did not act during my crisis but instead directly fled. Remember to take care of him for me.”

As the words fell, the figure of the Ram-Head Divine Envoy completely dissipated, turning into points of golden light, merging into the surrounding air.

Lin Yi stood where he was, his face full of astonishment.

There was more than one Divine Envoy invading Blue Star?!

A sense of unease immediately surged in Lin Yi’s heart.

As the lackeys of the heavenly gods’ power, the Divine Envoys are always observing the situation of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Figuring out Xia’s layout and Lin Yi’s household, and what might threaten Lin Yi, should not be difficult.

Though the overall strength of Blue Star has greatly improved, making it much easier to deal with external enemies than before, trying to contend with a Divine Envoy with an ordinary War God’s power is nearly impossible.

Thinking this, Lin Yi dared not delay a moment longer and immediately fled from the “Ancient Desolate Ridge” dungeon.

“Junior, you scared me to death!”

As soon as he stepped out of the dungeon, a waft of soft jade fragrance embraced him.

The faint sobs were making even Lin Yi somewhat embarrassed to hear.
