356, Lin Yi: This reward is really troublesome; let me deal with the Destruction God [Major Chapter]_1 first.

This child, won't allow touching?

This was the first time in her life that the Life Goddess got rejected. She was the goddess who could bring about beauty and hope; everyone, including other gods, would feel an irresistible urge to approach her, to get closer to her.

There was no possibility that someone would dislike her—a result of the inherent instinct of creatures to seek benefits and avoid harm, just as sunflowers grow towards the sun.

But this boy, he lacked such an instinct?

At a distance, the Destruction God, who saw Lin Yi holding the Life Goddess's wrist, showed a slight change in expression.

However, he did not come over; the Life Goddess had ordered this. She could easily discern that these were humans, and out of her kind nature, she feared that the aura emanating from the Destruction God could harm these mortals. Hence, she asked the Destruction God to stand still as a punishment.

After all, these were more than a thousand innocent lives, and the aura of the Destruction God was enough to annihilate them all.

"You are quite an endearing child, yet why do you not like me?"

The Life Goddess smiled while frowning, obviously very interested in Lin Yi.

On this point, Lin Yi's Charm value had played a significant role.

This surge of ten thousand in Charm value could attract even the Supreme God, just differently in terms of strength; the Life Goddess would certainly have much more resistance than Bi Bidong and the rest of the humans.

"Why should I like you? Those who like you simply yearn for the vitality. But I do not lack life force."

Lin Yi spoke indifferently, at the same time letting go of her hand.

The goddess looked at Lin Yi in silence for a while, as if unable to find any counter-argument because what Lin Yi said made perfect sense.

The Life Goddess bent down with a smile, her green-golden skirt falling amidst the thick mist.

"I am curious, why do they bully you? Even to the point of bullying you all the way to the Divine Realm?"

Having said this, the Life Goddess turned to look at the others. She still thought of Lin Yi as just a child, perhaps without the right to speak, so she attempted to wait for someone else to answer her query.

But she quickly realized that all the people here were bowing their heads, not even daring to look at her.

How ridiculous, the ones who bully others don't have as much courage as the little guy being bullied. It is truly puzzling.

"How did you come to the Divine Realm? If it was by mistake, I could send you back."

She added gently, without a hint of impatience.

Because she understood that humans who end up in the Divine Realm by mistake are surely very panicked; they shouldn't be frightened by the gods here.

"It wasn't a mistake; we will go back quickly after we finish our business."

Lin Yi spoke indifferently.

Life Goddess: c( O.O )ɔ

She turned to look at Lin Yi, her emerald eyes filled with astonishment.

You, you little guy, your words make it sound like you can freely traverse the Divine Realm?

And why is it that so far, it is you who have been talking to me? Aren't you the weaker party being bullied? But now, you seem like the leader.

The Life Goddess was puzzled.

"The business you mentioned, does it refer to them attacking you?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes."

She suddenly laughed, "You indeed won't die easily. If it were those two just now, they would have to attack you more than two million times to truly kill you. But even so, getting hit must hurt a lot, right?"

Truly befitting the Life Goddess, to be concerned about whether I am in pain.

Lin Yi smirked to himself while maintaining an indifferent expression, "I won't feel pain, can they continue? Afterward, we'll leave on our own, and not bother any of you."

Yet the Life Goddess smiled and shook her head, "No, that's not possible. Your very presence in the Divine Realm is not permitted. Had you met someone other than me today, perhaps that person, or another, might have resorted to violent means to expel you."

While speaking, she gestured towards the Destruction God standing in the distance, then straightened up and said with a touch of sentimentality, "The Divine Realm governs more than just Soul Land; there are countless humans, and those gods are haughty beings. They wouldn't take the lives of a thousand-plus people to heart, might even regard you all as a potential destabilizing factor for the Divine Realm, adhering to the belief that it's better to mistakenly kill than to miss an offender..."

As the Life Goddess spoke, there was a trace of sadness in her expression, but then she smiled faintly, "Perhaps this is what they think disqualifies me from being a Law Enforcer. I am too soft-hearted, even more so than my kind sister."

"Strange, why am I telling you all this… you should hurry back, that person has quite the temper."

The Life Goddess spoke gently to everyone present, once again pointing to the Destruction God who stood far away.

Everyone was stunned, their perception of gods utterly changed in that moment.

Lin Yi knew that this woman in front of him wasn't complaining about the other gods, nor was she just talkative; she was warning these thousand people, alerting them that the Divine Realm was an extremely serious place, and to enter it casually is tantamount to joking with one's own life.

There was no denying that she was a woman with good intentions, but...

Lin Yi was a stubborn person.

Having come all this way, could he simply return without completing the mission?

"I am sorry, I refuse."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, the Life Goddess became conflicted. She had thought humans were clever, able to understand their circumstances and distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

But why was only this young man speaking, while the others were mute?

If that was the case, she could only allow that Destruction fellow to take action, though she would strictly supervise him—certainly, she wouldn't let him kill at will under her watch.
