I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 906: Chapter 906: Unshaken Before the Collapse of Mount Tai

After surveying the surroundings, the chaotic scene quieted down considerably.

The leaders from various factions slowly moved forward and gathered around a table.

The Immortal King counted the number of people; once everyone was present, he nodded slightly.

”Everyone, thank you for coming from afar, it must have been a hard journey.”

The Immortal King seemed oblivious to the noisy and unfavorable comments, maintaining a warm smile on his face.

This reaction took the scheming celestial beings by surprise.

They hadn’t expected the Immortal King’s response to be so composed.

Originally, the group thought that if the Immortal King got furious and made some impulsive decisions; they could make a big fuss of it, but they didn’t anticipate that his emotional control was excellent. Instead of showing any excitement, he praised everyone generously.

This approach left the gods perplexed.

”The Heaven-piercing Mantra has been heard by everyone, but the owner of that voice is not yet known. However, it is certain that our prestige is practically nonexistent now.”

”To continue obtaining Source Power, we have to act ourselves, but doing so will create a vicious cycle. Everyone, to help us continue developing, you all need to contribute.”

The last few words, the Immortal Emperor emphasized, and his face, which was intimidating without anger, grew colder.

Both Zeus and Odin knew very well to whom these words were addressed.

Though somewhat irritated, they didn’t show it and even agreed with the Immortal King’s words in a considerate manner.

Still, the words carried a slight edge.

”For thousands of years, no one has dared to challenge the dignity of all celestial divine beings; Qin Zhu is truly astonishing. Knowing him for so many years, I never thought he would do such a thing. Immortal King, if I were you, I’d be quite heartbroken.”

Zeus’s words carried a hint of sarcasm, though not overly obvious.

Odin chuckled upon hearing this, stroking his beard, and immediately followed up with Zeus’s implication.

”Such things shouldn’t be said aloud, as saying them can hurt relationships. Even if the Immortal King’s negligence caused this mess, we still have to resolve it together, don’t we? We, all celestial divine beings, are fundamentally a family.”

The words were harsh, but undeniably truthful.

The Immortal Emperor merely smiled in response.

”Do any of you have any investigation into that mysterious speaker?”

When it came to serious matters, Zeus, Odin, and other divine leaders immediately fell silent.

Investigate who manipulated Shakyamuni to voice those dangerous statements? Where would they even begin to investigate?

The time needed to travel from the Upper Plane to the Nine Netherworld is definitely not short.

By the time they send their people to the scene, there would be no traces left.

A lack of information is the norm.

But continuing to remain silent wouldn’t solve the issue, and the Immortal King spoke up first.

”How the ants from the lower plane view us is insignificant. Disobedient ones, just need a good lesson, but everyone.”

At this point in his speech, the Immortal King’s voice suddenly rose, and the powerful divine power fluctuations emanated from him without reservation.

”Who made a move? Do you all not have a clue, or do I need to elaborate?”

The existence of Dark Rising is known to all celestial divine beings.

Yet they have never uncovered any real information about this organization.

Over time, many members among the celestial divine beings were reluctant to acknowledge the existence of an organization secretly stealing their resources right under their noses.

”The existence of that mysterious organization has been avoided in conversations for many years now. The fact that Qin Zhu is a member is already obvious, yet you’re reluctant to admit it? Do you truly believe, with Qin Zhu’s power alone, he could betray us? It’s clear that the mysterious organization is behind him. Are you trying to avoid this issue?”

”Could it be that some among you are also part of this organization, or are you waiting until that mysterious organization takes away everything from us before waking up?”

The Immortal King slammed his palm down on the table before him.

With just one strike, the stone table shattered into powder.

This strike sent ripples of divine power across each Upper-Rank God present.

Especially those gods who were looking to pick a fight were all overwhelmed by the Immortal King’s imposing manner.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Immortal King raised his right hand, pointing his finger towards the Netherworld King Hades in Zeus’s camp.

”You have had much interaction with the Nine Netherworld; don’t give me excuses to dodge this. Investigate exactly what transpired in the Nine Netherworld.”

Having been targeted with a command, Hades was dumbfounded, and before he could react or offer any defense, the Immortal King’s finger pointed at Zeus.

”Since you’re from the same camp, the duty of assistance falls on Olympus. If you fail to complete the task, future resources will diminish.”

Zeus, looking at the Immortal King’s arrogant demeanor, felt enraged, ready to explode, but when met with the Immortal King’s irrefutable gaze, much of his anger subsided, and he swallowed his words.

”Odin, you’ve got quite a few confusing setups in your camp, haven’t you? Find someone with the souls of Wo Zhiqi and Sun Wukong. If you can capture this guy, we might obtain information about that mysterious organization.”

Like they say, an Immortal King is an Immortal King.

At critical moments, not only can he use his strong aura to stabilize a chaotic situation, but he can also employ a high level of intelligence to execute a reasonable and nearly perfect plan.

Odin was planning to team up with Zeus to give the Immortal King trouble, but again was suppressed by the Immortal King’s aura and dutifully obeyed his orders.

”You.....”

In just a few minutes, the Immortal King assigned detailed tasks to the divine beings of each camp.

The following day, at Dark Rising headquarters.

Ruolan delivered a ”ugly” grade ring to Lin Yi. The reason for not granting the highest authority was partly because Lin Yi’s Divine Power Level wasn’t particularly high, and partly because he hadn’t been in Dark Rising for long enough.

Though she verbally advised Lin Yi not to feel resentful, her eyes were filled with envy towards him.

Working for Dark Rising for so many years while cautiously avoiding the investigations of celestial divine beings, Ruolan sacrificed not just a few thousand years.

How could she dare to imagine, a young man from the lower plane, achieving what she managed over thousands of years in just twenty years?

”Thank you, Lan, for going out of your way with so many tasks at hand. When I return, I’ll make sure to thank you properly.”

This was the customary politeness Lin Yi acquired before his transmigration.

Unexpectedly, such courteous words were taken seriously by Ruolan.

”Hehe, since dear Lin Yi is sincere, I cannot refuse, right?”

With Lin Yi a bit bewildered, Ruolan quickly disappeared, giving Lin Yi no chance to renege.

”You really are overly generous.”

Looking towards the sound, Xiyue had already donned her battle armor.
