I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Lin Yi’s Compromise

What Hades said next was as Lin Yi expected.

To realize his ambitions, Hades had always been watching the Nine Netherworld, watching the family of the King of the Nine Netherworld.

Whatever happened in the Nine Netherworld, the Immortal King really didn’t know, but Hades did.

Upon learning that Lin You sacrificed her life for Lin Yi, allowing Lin Yi to inherit her Divine Power, Hades was absolutely furious.

He had put so much effort into ensuring that either he or his descendants would possess more complete and perfect abilities, aiming to become the leader of the Olympus faction, even replacing the Immortal King.

Of course, when explaining how he knew about the situation in the Nine Netherworld, Hades didn’t reveal his ambitions.

His excuse was quite appropriate and convincing.

After all, the King of the Nine Netherworld, Qin Zhu, had agreed to a marriage alliance with him, so Hades was understandably aggrieved, thus monitoring the Nine Netherworld and Qin Zhu was entirely justifiable and reasonable.

”Lin You became your summoned entity and restored her strength. To save your life, she sacrificed herself, allowing you to inherit her Divine Power and her Lifebound Divine Artifact. All of this is your opportunity and also our opportunity, a bridge for our cooperation.”

”I’ve said this much, you should know what I intend to do by now. Rest assured, we won’t destroy Lin You’s Lifebound Divine Artifact. We only need to borrow your Lifebound Divine Artifact for a bit, and all problems can be solved.”

Lin You is Qin Zhu’s daughter, and the closeness of their relationship, the depth of their bond, is self-evident.

Finding Qin Zhu’s location through Lin You’s Lifebound Divine Artifact isn’t difficult.

Just borrowing the Soul-Breaking Skill is not a hard task either.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi did not agree immediately but fell into a dilemma.

Why the dilemma?

Lin Yi understood the principle that strength is needed to forge iron.

Utilizing the power of the Olympus faction to shake the Immortal King’s rule was indeed a good idea.

However, it’s obviously a strategy to drive a tiger to swallow a wolf.

Right now, it’s all said beautifully, sincere cooperation and great rapport, everyone is like brothers.

But once they achieve their goals, what will happen then?

How could Lin Yi balance them with his own power?

Seeing Lin Yi did not respond, a trace of displeasure appeared on Zeus’s face.

The previous cryptic conversation was clearly about cooperation between the two sides.

Why, after stating his thoughts, did Lin Yi not agree?

No doubt there’s a bit of amusement involved here, isn’t there?

Zeus, the King of Olympus, does not hold as exalted a position as the Immortal King but is still the head of a faction; how could he allow anyone to toy with him?

Lin Yi is part of the Immortal King’s circle, and being toyed with on minor matters would be one thing.

But this is a major matter of rebellion!

If they’re not tied together, how could he feel comfortable letting Lin Yi leave so easily?

”Little brother, what do you mean by this? Didn’t we agree to help me find that set of chess manuals? How is it that, after I expressed my intentions, you started hesitating? Isn’t that a bit unkind?”

The murderous intent in Zeus’s words became particularly evident.

Lin Yi clearly understood why Zeus harbored such murderous intent and could sympathize with Zeus’s displeasure.

”Well, Lord Zeus, it’s not that I don’t intend to cooperate with you. I fully understand your desire to change this situation; however, it seems there is a discrepancy in our philosophies. You pursue your own interests; I pursue fair and just development.”

”The world I wish to see is different from what you envision. If I help you, change the rules of the chessboard, and let you become the next ruler of the chessboard, wouldn’t that be meaningless?”

Upon hearing this, Zeus understood Lin Yi’s meaning.

But he couldn’t comprehend Lin Yi’s thinking.

It had been said before that even gods couldn’t escape those vile aspects of humanity.

Zeus wanted benefits for himself and his subordinates, which was completely justified.

In fact, such a worldview is the correct one.

Universal harmony without class differences; is such a world right, can it truly exist?

Human nature is vulnerable to trials. Such noble ideals—even if Lin Yi could rely on his own power to achieve them—who can guarantee everyone would willingly follow?

Soon, Zeus figured it out.

Childish boy, Lin Yi is definitely a childish boy.

It required a considerable degree of innocence to say something like that.

At that moment, the surge of killing intent within Zeus immediately dissipated.

After some contemplation, recalling as much as possible about the etiquette of Lin Yi’s faction, Zeus stood up and looked around at the Main Gods of Olympus beside him.

With just a glance, they understood Zeus’s meaning and immediately stood up with him.

”Brother Lin Yi, by saying this, we understand your concerns. I can assure you that as long as you are willing to assist us, we Olympian gods are prepared to develop this world according to your wishes.”

”Of course, we have a condition. It’s unrealistic to expect us to seek nothing. We want more resources. Comparing to what we have now, more resources; a fifty-fifty division of what the Immortal King gets now. We also promise not to interfere with the development of the Three Realms and Six Paths; what do you say?”

....

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was somewhat speechless.

This is not treating oneself as a human, isn’t it?

Can someone really say such unrealistic things; can one really expect Lin Yi to believe such nonsense?

It’s simply a fool’s talk.

Yet, Lin Yi seemingly had no better choice at the moment. If he didn’t agree, it might not be easy to leave Mount Olympus.

Even if he could leave, undoubtedly those folks would make his future difficult.

If that’s the case, then let’s borrow it.

Feigning excitement, Lin Yi looked at Zeus with an incredulous and utterly naive gaze.

”Really!”

While speaking, Lin Yi activated his Source Power, allowing the Soul-Breaking Skill to fly out from his personal space.

Desire Realm, within the special space.

Numerous red Demon Slayers were practicing against one another.

In this space, the Demon Slayers had existed for over ten years, their numbers enormously increasing.

As time passed, those with longer lifespans among them experienced substantial leaps in strength.

They are practically a race born for battle.

Even Qin Zhu was amazed at their terrifying growth speed.

If not for their heartfelt gratitude toward Qin Zhu, if not for their extreme valor, Qin Zhu might have been worried sick here every day.
