Chapter 1107: Chapter 1077: Hunter or Prey/The Change in the Nine Netherworld

"He is the new Divine Son of our Light Church, the Jialan King from the Jialan Empire, Lin Yi!"

Amid deafening cheers, countless people stared at the figure in the Magic Mirror Image, dressed in a pale Golden robe, wearing a Golden crown symbolizing the identity of the Divine Son.

In just a few short days, Lin Yi had smoothly gone from an unknown "passerby" to standing at the peak of this world in a way never seen before.

Why call it the peak?

Because the Light Church on the Nine Nether Continent was a towering summit no one dared to cross.

As the Divine Son, Lin Yi, aside from Pope Frederick, was an aloof existence on the Nine Nether Continent that no one dared provoke.

Countless people felt as if in a dream as they witnessed the birth of the Divine Son of the Light Church.

Lin Yi’s abrupt rise was, in the most dazzling manner, announcing to everyone that his Legendary life had officially stepped into every person’s daily reality.

And Lin Yi had smoothly transitioned from the Jialan King into the identity of a supreme Divine Son.

But while some rejoiced, others grieved.

When the Crown Prince of Jialan Country, Gongsun Zhi, saw this scene, his expression uncontrollably twisted into something ferocious.

But at that moment, a hand suddenly patted Gongsun Zhi on the shoulder, and a familiar voice rang in his ear:

"Some things were actually decided from the very beginning."

"No matter what you did before, this matter is over."

Standing at the edge of Qiling Square, the Chief Judge of the Punishment Bureau, Gongsun Yan, spoke earnestly into Gongsun Zhi’s ear:

"The person he is now is no longer someone you can afford to provoke."

Only now?

What Gongsun Yan didn’t say was:

"In fact, from the very beginning, he was never someone Gongsun Zhi could afford to provoke."

That said, Gongsun Zhi understood the logic.

But after going all out, even almost dying, this was the result he got.

How could a proud man like Gongsun Zhi possibly accept that?

So even though what Gongsun Yan said was true, Gongsun Zhi still gnashed his teeth and said:

"I can’t accept this!"

At this moment, the way he looked at Lin Yi was practically spitting fire, full of jealous rage.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan did not continue explaining, but said:

"Enough."

"Being alive is already not bad. Think of those who died."

Gongsun Yan’s words made Gongsun Zhi freeze on the spot.

It was precisely this sentence that pulled Gongsun Zhi back from the brink of losing control.

When everyone was immersed in the shock of Lin Yi obtaining the Divine Son title, they had ignored that in this Divine Son selection, nearly two hundred favored sons of heaven had paid with their lives!

Even he, Gongsun Zhi, had almost died in that forest.

Just then, Gongsun Yan suddenly said:

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Faced with this sudden question, of course Gongsun Zhi answered without hesitation:

"Of course I do."

An inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared on Gongsun Yan’s face as he said:

"Now there’s a chance to become stronger placed before you..."

"Hunt down the invaders from beyond the domain!"

The Eldest Prince of the Ao Sheng Empire, Charles, was staring in shock at the Divine King Meng Yin in front of him:

"Where did you hear this from?"

Meng Yin, who had been beaten unconscious by Lin Yi in front of Linlang Pavilion earlier, now wore a grave expression as he said:

"His Majesty told me personally."

"I imagine it won’t be long before the Three Great Empires issue an official proclamation."

Charles found it hard to believe as he said:

"How could it be so sudden?"

"And where did these invaders even come from?"

Meng Yin explained:

"They say a rift has appeared in the spacetime passage leading beyond the domain."

"And those invaders from beyond the domain descended into our world through this very rift."

"But His Majesty said that, for now, these invaders can only operate within the Demon Forest, and we don’t have to worry about them invading our cities."

After hearing Meng Yin’s explanation, Charles still looked completely baffled:

"How is that good news? What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it does!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Divine King of the Purple Moon Empire, Jun Shirong, was staring solemnly at Jun Moqian in front of him:

"In terms of Magic attainments, you are the most accomplished in our Purple Moon Empire."

"It’s said that these people from beyond the domain carry a great deal of Magic Equipment on them."

"And what’s more, once we kill them, we will obtain a kind of Essence Core that’s even more precious than a Demon Core."

"The function of the Essence Core is similar to a Demon Core. We can absorb the Elements within it to rapidly improve our Cultivation."

"The difference is, the Magic Elements in an Essence Core are twenty times that of a Demon Core of the same Level!"

Jun Shirong spoke with a face full of frenzy:

"Not only that."

"When we absorb the Essence Core, we can comprehend the Magic Skills of these invaders from beyond the domain, and even the Power of Domain which has long since vanished from our Nine Nether!"

As he said this, even as a Tier Nine Divine King, Jun Shirong almost couldn’t control himself. His whole body trembled with excitement.

The scene of Lin Yi activating a Domain in front of Linlang Pavilion was still vividly imprinted in his mind.

As a Lv85-level Divine King, perhaps not being able to comprehend and possess the Power of Domain was a colossal regret for them:

"The pity is, only those who personally kill the invaders from beyond the domain will obtain Essence Cores, and no one can absorb Essence Cores across Levels."

"Otherwise, the overall strength of our Purple Moon Empire would be raised to a whole new level."

"Hiss~"

Sikong Tingzhi looked at the President of the Mage Guild before him, also his own mentor, and still couldn’t quite calm his inner shock as he said:

"Teacher, what if we’re the ones who get killed?"

Kamo was the President of the Magic Guild, and also the strongest person on the Nine Nether Continent apart from the Pope of Light, Frederick.

Hearing Sikong Tingzhi’s question, Kamo’s aged face showed a meaningful smile as he said:

"If you want to gain more, you must be prepared to lose."

"For our Nine Nether, this is a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity."

Then Kamo spoke earnestly to Sikong Tingzhi, his most satisfactory student:

"If you don’t want to become prey, then you must learn to become an excellent Hunter."

After saying this, Kamo vanished from in front of Sikong Tingzhi in an instant.

But at that moment, a piece of advice from Kamo sounded in Sikong Tingzhi’s ear:

"Never become an enemy of the Divine Son, remember that!"

Ling Yuwei still hadn’t recovered from the things Ling Yudao had just said.

Staring at that figure on the high platform in the square, under the gaze of all, Ling Yuwei muttered:

"Can that really make me become strong quickly?"

Ling Yudao glanced at his daughter, then shook his head helplessly and said:

"You are destined to be people from two different worlds. Silly child, do you still not understand?"

Not understand?

Of course Ling Yuwei understood.

In fact, she had understood from the very beginning.

It’s just that when you like someone, you tend to numb yourself and come up with ten thousand reasons to convince yourself.

But when this cruel truth was laid bare, Ling Yuwei’s eyes still couldn’t help but fill with shimmering tears.

Seeing this, Ling Yudao grabbed Ling Yuwei’s hand:

"Let’s go."

Ling Yuwei did not refuse. She only stared blankly at Lin Yi on the high platform in his full ceremonial attire.

When Ling Yuwei disappeared from Qiling Square, only then did Lin Yi turn to look at the spot where she had stood before, leaving nothing but a helpless sigh in his heart.

At this moment, a key-shaped ornament made of a jade-like material, carved with mysterious patterns, appeared in front of Lin Yi’s eyes.

With just one glance, Lin Yi recognized the item and exclaimed:

"Heaven Island Key."
