Chapter 1041: Chapter 245: A Sense of Belonging for Elves

Lin Rui discovered that the Goddess of Fortune had quite a few good things in her hand.

As a Divine Spirit, she was excessively wealthy, and could be considered a little rich lady among the deities.

When the Goddess of Fortune saw Lin Rui’s scrutinizing gaze, she promptly retreated with alertness: "Hey, I warn you not to always set your mind on me. I’ve given you everything I ought to give you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Communicating like this really consumes Divine Power."

Lin Rui said indifferently, "If you don’t want me to ascend to godhood in a few cycles and come to trouble you, you’d better wait a bit."

The hurried figure of the Goddess of Fortune instantly froze, and she once again displayed the soft charm she showed at their first meeting: "You horrid man, you’re truly too wicked. Always trying to upset me, what do you want to do? Let me clarify, our relationship is purely cooperative, don’t think you can take advantage of me."

Cooperative relationship?

"More precisely, it’s a relationship of exploitation, isn’t it?"

"Hehehe, don’t say it so unpleasantly~" The Goddess of Fortune flashed a smile: "Haven’t you gained a lot too?"

"Alright then, given your powerful blessing at the end of the Plane War, I won’t argue with you," Lin Rui waved his hand, then asked, "I’ve kept you here to hear your suggestion: what preparation do I need before becoming a god?"

The Goddess of Fortune thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion is not to become a god, for us to continue collaborating. You can stay in the Azure Realm for a longer time; after all, you already have the Altar of All Heavens. You can obtain everything you need, and if there’s something you truly desire, I’ll even buy it for you."

Lin Rui threw a white eye at her: "Are you just trying to sponge off me forever? Aren’t you afraid I’ll stir up a faith war with the God of Light in the Azure Realm and drag you into it?"

The divine light around the Goddess of Fortune started to flicker violently; she gritted her teeth and said, "Then you better not make trouble for me, hurry up and become a god! I’m a person who most fears trouble, and the God of Light is just waiting for you to become a god so you two can have a deadly fight."

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is the God of Light very strong? How big is the difference in our strengths?"

"A ratio of three to seven."

"I three, he seven?"

The Goddess of Fortune shook her head: "Three punches for him, seven days for you, that’s the three-seven split."

"The gap is that big?" Lin Rui laughed and asked: "What if we include you, the two of us together?"

"Then it’s a fifty-fifty split. Both of us would be utterly shattered."

Lin Rui wasn’t very convinced by the Goddess of Fortune’s evaluation—this woman had acquired two Elemental Keystones of light!

Would she really be so afraid of another Main God?

But her character had always been like this, extremely averse to trouble, so it’s normal for her not to want to be involved.

Lin Rui didn’t press further, instead asking, "Have you heard of the Desolate Domain World?"

"Never heard of it!"

Seeing the Goddess of Fortune answer without hesitation, Lin Rui sighed and said, "You should really think about it! It’s a shattered world. Haven’t you been forcibly conscripted for battalions?"

"Forcibly conscripted for battalions?" the Goddess of Fortune’s expression changed: "You’ve heard of this mythical tale?"

Lin Rui didn’t respond, and the Goddess of Fortune continued gnashing her teeth to speak: "Those Emperors are all bastards! The legendary-level battalion I painstakingly assembled was conscripted by them before I even had the chance to use it! That’s my sweat and blood over more than five hundred years, and when the battalion was returned, it was battered and only had a few hundred wounded soldiers left, and they can’t even be healed."

"I haven’t heard of the Desolate Domain World, but if you were to go to such a world, I advise you to be careful—the Power of Deathly Silence inside cannot be dispelled, and if the battalion gets infected, they will be completely crippled."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Alright, understood. Thanks for the information. I will trial myself in there and deliver a grand gift to the God of Light in the future."

Before leaving, the Goddess of Fortune hesitated but still said, "I still suggest you stay longer in the Azure Realm, I don’t know why you’re in a hurry. But isolation in the Azure Realm indeed offers crucial protection for you. You don’t know how many gods in the Divine Realm are eyeing you eagerly."

As for when exactly to become a god, it’s crucial to explore the Desolate Domain World first.

This interaction with the Goddess of Fortune greatly benefited Lin Rui.

After acquiring the Divine Favor of Lucky Praise, Lin Rui was eager to see what the limits were in the Desolate Domain World!

That’s why he didn’t choose other Divine Blessings this time, because he valued this aspect.

Though the Guardian Spirit doesn’t have attack abilities, it can only passively defend, but it has a rebound.

For the Divine Chosen One, it absorbs 70% of the received damage and converts it into Divine Damage that rebounds to the opponent!

This means that as long as the opponent can’t kill Lin Rui, they will continuously suffer damage.

Moreover, normal attacks, Spiritual Energy damage, Physical Damage, etc., are ineffective against Lin Rui, but the rebounded damage is all Divine Damage.

If the opponent is even slightly weaker, they would find dealing damage to Lin Rui results in higher rebound damage.

Even a very strong opponent attacking Lin Rui would result in extremely low damage received by Lin Rui—Lin Rui would bear only 30%, but the opponent would suffer not just 70%.

Know that Lin Rui’s 30% isn’t reduced by his own defensive mitigation, merely that the Guardian Spirit reduces it by 70%.

Lin Rui also possesses a suite of defensive resistance along with evasion and block.

Once this Mythical Level Trait activates upon entering the Desolate Domain World, Lin Rui feels that even deities can be contended with.

This time entering the Desolate Domain World, Lin Rui doesn’t plan to take too many troops; the first entry should focus on exploration, so he intends to take the Legendary Soldier riding on a Griffin to various places to investigate.
