533. The Life Goddess Meets Lin Yi Alone at Night [Second Update]_1

Watching the Life Goddess and others walk behind the Destruction God, Gu Yuena put down the card in her hand and opened her mouth with an icy voice:

"I, Gu Yuena, am no saint. I have always been one to hold grudges. The saying, 'If the gods do not offend me, I do not offend the gods,' has never applied to me. I have long had a blood feud with you gods, so my recent mercy does not mean that I fear you. From now on, I, Gu Yuena, will no longer fear any of you."

Having said that, she put away the card, and at the same time, she tossed out a key that pierced into the void, opening a large door and leaving the place.

This wasn't the confidence the Dragon God had given her, it was the confidence Lin Yi had given her.

Before this, Gu Yuena could not have imagined that she would have the opportunity to speak such bold words in front of these gods.

The feeling of speaking out was genuinely exhilarating—these were words that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.

Returning to the stands, the coldness on Gu Yuena's face faded, replaced by a brand new smile. She smiled at Lin Yi and said, "This reward is really useful; I've already tried it out!"

Actually, no one knew what Gu Yuena had been up to, only Lin Yi could see the scene of her using her reward just now.

However, Lin Yi had not expected that the first thing Gu Yuena would do upon receiving the reward was to seek revenge... He had to admit she really was someone with a strong vengeful heart.

"Although it's a Gold-tier advanced reward, it's also your good luck."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Gu Yuena smiled again: "Good, I'm going to start my second attack of the day."

Above the Divine Realm, the wounds the Destruction God had just suffered had already been mostly healed by the Life Goddess, after all, she was the strongest support in the Divine Realm and her reputation was well-deserved.

"Are you just going to watch her run amok in the Divine Realm with your eyes wide open? I can understand you have grievances against me and choose not to help, but her arrogance, where will that leave the dignity of the Divine Realm in the future? Does this mean that anyone with a grievance against the Divine Realm can come and challenge us?"

The Destruction God angrily questioned, including his wife within those he addressed, but what actually hurt him the most was that his wife did not help, though the Destruction God dared not say it outright.

"Firstly, I think we need to consider carefully who the true enemy of the Divine Realm really is," said the Asura God, posing a thought-provoking question.

The Evil God took over the conversation: "Are you saying that Lin Yi is no longer our real enemy?"

The Asura God smiled helplessly: "Of course, it's him. In the long run, the enemy is definitely him. However, our short-term enemies are actually those involved in the attack, especially the few led by Gu Yuena."

"The more rewards they get from Lin Yi, the more they will set foot in the Divine Realm like today."

The Destruction God said: "Wouldn't solving Lin Yi once and for all be the easy way out?"

"That's the problem. Ask yourself, can we actually solve him?"

The Asura God stared into the Destruction God's eyes, then continued, "Moreover, we cannot directly confront the attackers, like Gu Yuena, with blades drawn. Doing so will attract Lin Yi's attention, or even his protection... Actually, I have a bold idea."

The Evil God said: "Speak."

"We also join the attack, get rewards from Lin Yi, so we won't be short-term provoked by attackers like Gu Yuena; and maybe, Lin Yi will even see us as his own people."

The gods were all momentarily stunned.

"His people"... They could not believe such humbling words could come from the Asura God.

But on closer analysis of the facts, what the Asura God said made a lot of sense.

Perhaps the enemies of the Divine Realm were not just those attackers; perhaps they were people from other dimensions. If someone named Son Goku came here, those attackers might be protected by Lin Yi, but what about them, the gods?

Therefore, instead of seeing Lin Yi as an enemy, why not consider him a thigh worth clinging to, a powerful leg worth hugging? After all, everyone now knows that this world is not the only one; there are many, many other dimensions.

If one day other dimensions invade, humanity might have Lin Yi's protection, but the gods would become prime targets!

"How do you plan to proceed? Will Lin Yi believe that we truly want to hit him? Ah... I mean, to attack him?"

Evil twitched the corner of his mouth, actually still unable to comprehend why Lin Yi's way of giving out rewards involved having people hit him. It was so confusing—could it be Lin Yi's peculiar habit?

"What if we take the initiative to find him tonight and have a calm discussion? We'll start by building trust with him first, and even if we can't immediately begin the attack, at least we let him know that we are sincere friends."

Upon hearing the words of the Asura God, the other gods glanced at each other.

"We definitely can't go, we probably left a bad impression on him yesterday."

Evil shook his head, grasping the hand of his wife, the Kindness God.

The Asura God didn't really want to go himself, and at this moment, he looked toward the Life Goddess as if she was his savior, "Would the Life God be willing to go?"

"Me?"

After all, she was the first one to speak to Lin Yi.

But the problem was that at the time, the Life Goddess didn't know this guy was so powerful!

"No! I don't agree!"

The Destruction God looked at his wife earnestly, as if sending her would be like sending a lamb into a tiger's den.

The Asura God said, "Based on the observations of the past few days, I don't believe Lin Yi is an innately cruel person. If he really wanted to harm us, he would have come directly to the Divine Realm."

"Still no!"

To his surprise, the Destruction God's stance was exceptionally firm.

The Asura God looked at him, then at the beautiful Life Goddess, and suddenly understood the Destruction God's concern.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Destruction God, your worries are baseless. Lin Yi has many attractive women by his side; does he give them much of a second glance?"

"You don't have a wife, so of course, you're not worried about this. You want my wife to go, what are your intentions? Would the Evil God agree to let his own wife go alone to discuss this matter with Lin Yi, especially with a plea?"

The Destruction God's voice grew louder, causing the Sea God and God of Angels standing to the side to exchange glances with a bemused expression surreptitiously.

As for the Evil God, he didn't speak, just tightened his hold on his wife with an awkward expression.

Clearly, he was unwilling.

"Enough said, I'll go. This concerns the safety of the Divine Realm and cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, from what I see, Lin Yi is actually a person of good character, so let's put aside those sordid thoughts of yours."

The Life Goddess glared at the Destruction God.

This made the latter feel wronged, "How is my thinking sordid?"

"Pfft!"

The Sea God couldn't hold back a laugh, but after receiving a glare from the Destruction God, he immediately turned his head away.

...

Over at Soul City.

Gu Yuena was preparing her second attack based on the first one but planned to add the Earth Element. Though the reaction brought about by the Earth Element was only the creation of a Shield through crystallization, the element itself could cause harm, otherwise, her Elemental Mixture "Elemental Bomb Egg" would be useless.
