Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 412 All beings are equal

If the roles of everyone at the banquet were swapped, a wedding would be ready to go.

The gods could provide everything needed for the wedding.

The Forest Goddess filled the venue with colorful flowers, the Star God hung tiny stars on the temple’s ceiling, the Wisdom Goddess served as the maid of honor, the Mountain God was the best man, and the Earth Goddess presided over the wedding...

Although few attended, the wedding of the God of Love and the Star God was even more lavish than Lin Bai’s, because every guest was a top-tier deity.

The Goddess of Love wore a white wedding gown. Guided by a small elf, she walked toward the Star God. As she did, a mission completion notification echoed in Lin Bai’s mind:

[Without using props, arrange the marriage of a couple, neither of whom is weaker than you (Completed). Reward: Wedding Domain (Granted)]

[Use the Wedding Domain to compel ten couples, none weaker than you, to marry. Reward: Fill the World with Love (Temporary Skill: For one minute, eliminates all hostility among beings within your controllable range. Cooldown: 12 hours)]

Wedding Domain: At any wedding you host, the only permissible action is getting married.

Lin Bai mulled over the Skill description, his brows furrowing. The conditions are a bit too harsh. Where would I find so many weddings to preside over?

The Earth Goddess was currently presiding over the wedding, so it wasn’t appropriate for Lin Bai to test his Skill.

So, he remotely controlled his Body of the War God in the real world to test the Skill.

When he activated the Skill, nothing happened. All remained calm.

Damn it!

Lin Bai cursed under his breath. What kind of trash Skill is this?

Everyone else’s domains are created instantaneously, but I have to struggle to establish one, and it even needs a wedding?

Can it conjure a wedding out of thin air?

Conjure from thin air?

Lin Bai paused.

The Body of the War God glanced at Ye Song and Ye Lan, then said, "Ye Song, Ye Lan, I think you two should get married now."

They both froze, not understanding what was happening.

Meanwhile, three hundred different wedding procedures flooded Lin Bai’s mind. He subconsciously chose a traditional Chinese wedding.

The next moment, Ye Lan was dressed in a Phoenix Coronet and Robes of Rosy Clouds, her face veiled by a red cloth. Ye Song was also clad in a bright red wedding robe.

Both had large red flowers pinned to their chests. A red silk ribbon appeared in their hands, each holding one end.

The Justice League Legion’s headquarters was located in a camp on the Western Continent.

As the Wedding Domain unfurled, the camp scene transformed. Red lanterns hung high, a red carpet covered the ground, and dragon-phoenix candles burned on the Heaven and Earth altar.

Tuohai held firecrackers, while Tu Yan, Nan Rong, and others played suonas, flutes, or sheng; forming a makeshift band.

In an instant, the entire camp had become a wedding scene, with screams echoing from all around.

Everyone was bewildered, completely unsure of what was happening.

Xu Longyun, Jiang Qingqin, Hu He, and others also found themselves in red wedding robes. Their role in the wedding was that of attendants, responsible for assisting the bride.

Xu Longyun stared, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the Body of the War God. "Xingtian, what’s happening?"

The Body of the War God didn’t look like Lin Bai. Although Xu Longyun knew Lin Bai’s Soul Split was inside, she couldn’t bring herself to call this unfamiliar face "husband."

Xingtian chuckled. "The Alliance Hierarch has comprehended a new Divine Power. I’m just running some tests over here."

Everyone was speechless.

"Forcing people to get married?" Xu Longyun asked, astonished.

"Not only does it force people to marry, but all Divine Skills of anyone within the Wedding Domain are suppressed. Feel free to test if your Spells still work," Xingtian reminded everyone cheerfully as he walked towards the officiant’s platform.

In fact, he had already tested it.

The moment the wedding formed, all active and passive Skills like Dark Domain, Magpie Bridge, Laugh When I See You, etc., were suppressed. Even Sophistry and the Mind Reading Ability couldn’t be used.

Within the wedding, all beings are equal.

Although Lin Bai, as the wedding host, also couldn’t harm enemies.

However, the Wedding Domain was undeniably a powerful control Skill that could achieve much if used properly.

With Xingtian’s declaration, "Splendid hues drape the grand hall, with joyous music and songs resounding," Ye Song and Ye Lan’s wedding officially began.

Lin Bai had tested it: once a wedding begins, it cannot be actively ended.

This was another drawback, but compared to the powerful "all beings are equal" effect, such a small flaw was insignificant.

After all, few of his Skills were perfect, a fact he had long grown accustomed to.

Participating in the wedding were not only the Cultivators of the Justice League Legion but also various officials and Players from the Western Continent.

Suddenly dragged into a wedding, the Players were also dumbfounded. Then, still bewildered, they started their live streams.

A wedding was happening on the Continent of Gods and Demons, and now one in the real world too. The live stream chat screens exploded once more:

"What’s going on? Has Lin Bai gotten obsessed with weddings or something?"

"He’s cultivating the Way of Love, so naturally, he’s involved in all this lovey-dovey stuff. This is probably a New Divine Power he comprehended during his own wedding!"

"Forcing people into a wedding like this is too damn absurd! Is the Righteous Door really a proper Sect?"

"A proper Sect? What a strange idea! Ever since Lin Bai exposed the method for Cultivation Rules, I knew the Righteous Door wasn’t proper at all. They’re more like a Sect full of lunatics."

"Pfft! The Righteous Asylum."

"No one can use Skills within the Wedding Domain. I feel like Lin Bai is invincible now. It’s too late; the world already belongs to Lin."

"I just hope Cupid can comprehend the Law of Love through the Wedding Domain. If so, that would be the best news. Only Laws can counter Laws."

"Anyone who can maintain a good attitude in this godforsaken world must be truly insane."

Ambition grows with strength.

Having verified the power of the Wedding Domain, Lin Bai felt his confidence surge again. I’m back in the game!

The upcoming tasks from the Matchmaker System required him to forcibly pair ten powerful couples. The Great Heavenly Sovereign System demanded the conquest of the current land, and the War God System tasked him with conquering the False Gods of the Continent of Gods and Demons. All these missions meant he was destined to offend every powerful figure in the world.

When you stand at the summit, all other mountains appear small.

The strongest don’t need friends, only subordinates...

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, observing the gods at the wedding. Confirming there was no immediate danger, he shifted his focus to the Dream Heavenly King’s dream.

It’s time to wake him from this dream.

「In the Dream Space.」

Mist filled the air, along with darkness, surging waters, ice glinting with blue light, and a deathly stillness.

Several top-tier experts were now enraged, battling fiercely within the dream.

The dream’s Misty Forest was almost completely destroyed; not a single area remained intact.

The Undead Monarch’s million-strong Skeleton Army had long since turned to ash. Only high-order creatures like Bone Dragons, Dark Knights, and Liches survived, lingering under the Undead Monarch’s protection.

Many low-level Abyss creatures had also been killed. The survivors were mostly high-order creatures like human-faced spiders, faceless men, and Charms.

The Players Lin Bai had brought into the dream with his Soul Split had been killed long ago, but the Soul Split possessing the Dark Divine Seal was still alive.

After all, two Divided Gods, plus the God of Darkness from the Righteous faction, amounted to three Gods of Darkness—a significant force within the dream.

If Lin Bai hadn’t been preoccupied with the Earth Goddess, the combined might of three Gods of Darkness, the Lord of the Abyss, and the Undead Monarch would have tipped the scales of victory long ago.

The Red String still relentlessly pursued the Dream Heavenly King across the sky.

The Lord of the Abyss had tried several times to use slowing Spells to trap the Dream Heavenly King, hoping the Red String would catch him, but every attempt failed.

The Dream Heavenly King’s "Dream within a Dream" Skill was an elusive defense, consistently interrupting any powerful Spells just in time.

This was why the three of them had managed to hold out for so long.

"Lin Bai, it’s just one Thunder Heavenly King! Why is it taking you two so long to take him down?" the Undead Monarch, plagued by incessant dream intrusions and having suffered massive casualties among his forces, grumbled impatiently.

"Pluto, you make it sound easy," Lin Bai retorted, breaking his Silence. "I’ve already trapped the Thunder Heavenly King and am even using Magic Artifacts to interfere with the Dream Heavenly King. Without me, you lot would have been defeated by them long ago!"

The God of Darkness fell silent. He knows perfectly well that the Thunder Heavenly King was dealt with ages ago, and Master’s Divided God has just been daydreaming. It only just refocused!

"Boss Meng, my Skills... they’ve been erased!" The Thunder Heavenly King finally regained his ability to speak.

CRACK!

His health bar emptied.

Having been trapped and drained by the Dark Domain for so long, the Thunder Heavenly King was already on his last breath. He had barely uttered those words before Lin Bai snapped his neck.

Just then, a golden light streaked from the horizon as the Gold Heavenly King burst into the Dream Space.

The instant he appeared, the weapons of the fallen Skeleton Soldiers and Abyss creatures within the Dream Space seemed to hear a command. They surged upwards, forming a torrent of steel that crashed towards the Lord of the Abyss.

The Lord of the Abyss’s weapon, a massive greatsword, unexpectedly twisted, its blade aiming for his own neck.

The Lord of the Abyss never imagined his own weapon would betray him. Caught off guard, he wrestled for control of his greatsword but was still struck in the chest by the steel torrent, which punched a large hole through him.

ROAR!

The Lord of the Abyss let out a pained roar. He forcefully swung his sword down, severing the steel torrent instigated by the Gold Heavenly King. Then, with another downward swipe, a sword projection thousands of meters long slashed towards the Gold Heavenly King.

BANG!

A metallic Longsword materialized before the Gold Heavenly King, deflecting the powerful blow.

The Gold Heavenly King laughed heartily. "I am the foremost in offensive power among the Nine Heavenly Kings! You are all doomed today! Boss Meng, let’s team up and slaughter these gods!"

The arrival of reinforcements was like a shot in the arm for the Heavenly Kings.

The three of them felt their spirits lift.

The Dream Heavenly King said, "You’re just in time! Help me sever this damned Red String first."

"No problem!"

The Gold Heavenly King’s Magic Artifact was the Sacred Sword. Without using any Spells, he teleported directly to the Dream Heavenly King’s side and swung his sword at the Red String.

His sword sliced through the Red String.

The Red String snapped in two.

Lin Bai froze. It broke?

The next second, the severed Red String, as if alive, reconnected itself and resumed its pursuit of the Dream Heavenly King.

"Damn it!"

The Dream Heavenly King and the Gold Heavenly King cursed simultaneously.

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief. See? How could the Red String of fate be severed so easily!

"Lin Bai is just an avatar; ignore him! Kill the Lord of the Abyss and the Undead Monarch first!" The Dream Heavenly King frowned, using Flash once more to escape while simultaneously devising tactics.

A short while later, the Lord of the Abyss’s injuries had healed. Standing atop his black dragon, he said coldly, "Lin Bai, the Thunder Heavenly King is dead. Trap the Dream Heavenly King. Leave the other three to Pluto and me."

Now truly incensed, the Lord of the Abyss seemed to have forgotten this was all a dream.

"All this fighting and killing, it’s rather disruptive to the peace, isn’t it? Hear me out: why don’t we all just stop and get married?" Lin Bai’s avatar poked his head out of the Dark Domain, smiling at everyone. "I think the Dream Heavenly King and the Gold Heavenly King make a divinely ordained pair! There’s no day like the present, so allow me to officiate your wedding today and see you two joined in matrimony!"

Everyone stared, stunned, completely baffled as to why Lin Bai would suddenly utter such words.

The next second, the myriad Spells filling the air vanished, and everyone who had been floating descended to the ground.

The Gold Heavenly King found himself in a neat suit, while the Dream Heavenly King was now wearing a pristine white wedding gown.

The bewildered Water Heavenly King and Fire Heavenly King stood behind the Gold Heavenly King as his best men. A Charm and a human-faced spider stood behind the Dream Heavenly King, serving as his... bridesmaids.

"Boss Meng, what’s going on?" the Gold Heavenly King asked in horror. "Is this a dream you created?"

Before the Dream Heavenly King could speak, the Red String that had been chasing him for so long finally found its chance. It coiled around his body, binding him tightly in a Turtle Shell Binding.

Seeing this, Lin Bai was stunned. What the hell? Isn’t Bondage restricted by the Wedding Domain?

He tried to mentally command the Gold Heavenly King’s hair to bind him, but it remained motionless, not responding to the Bondage command.

Delayed effect!

The Bondage command was issued before the wedding started. So, even after the wedding began, the Red String continued to follow the prior instruction...

But the Spells of the Lord of the Abyss and the others were also cast before the wedding, and they vanished.

This means only System Skills he controls, if cast beforehand, can still take effect during the wedding.

What delayed-action Skills do I have?

Three Heads Six Arms? Phoenix Seeks Phoenix? Milky Way? Magpie Bridge?

I’ll have to experiment again.

Indeed, experience is always best gained through battle...

Lin Bai looked at the Dream Heavenly King. His dream didn’t collapse with the wedding. It seems his Ruyi’s Level is quite high too.

"My Divine Power... it’s sealed!" The Lord of the Abyss tried to mobilize his Divine Power several times without success, then looked at Lin Bai’s avatar in horror.

"Within the wedding, all beings are equal. Only I possess the ability to officiate," Lin Bai said with a faint smile. "Great Lord of the Abyss, whatever matters you have can be discussed after the ceremony. For now, let us witness the union of this new couple."

"Lord of the Abyss, now you see who the real enemy is! If you don’t kill Lin Bai, all of you will fall to him one day." The Dream Heavenly King sneered, looking at the Lord of the Abyss with pity. "But you will never learn this lesson..."

The Lord of the Abyss’s brow furrowed tightly.

"Boss Meng, when Lin Bai laughs and no one else does, it means his ’Laugh When I See You’ Skill isn’t working. His power must be suppressed too," the Water Heavenly King said. "He can’t control everything."

"All of Lin Bai’s Skills have loopholes. There must be a way to break this damn wedding!" the Fire Heavenly King declared.

"Mm," the Dream Heavenly King nodded, giving Lin Bai a profound look. "We’ve already achieved significant results in this battle. We’ll exit the dream shortly, split up, and regroup according to Plan Three-Three-Two-Three."

"Understood!" the three Heavenly Kings responded in unison.

Lin Bai looked at the Dream Heavenly King, puzzled, and was just about to begin officiating the wedding.

The next moment, the scene before him shattered, replaced by the identical scenery in reality.

The instant they exited the dream world, the Trees in the Misty Forest, the Undead Monarch’s million-strong Skeleton Army, and all the creatures that had died in the dream—everything instantly replicated the dream state in reality.

Whatever happened in the dream was perfectly mirrored in reality.

Holy crap, this guy really can kill people in their dreams! A storm raged in Lin Bai’s heart. But the next second, his memories of the dream began to recede from his mind like a fading tide, first blurring, then vanishing completely.

Simultaneously, the arm that had been immobilized by the Ruyi regained its mobility. Once free, it shot towards the Ruyi hovering above the Dream Heavenly King’s head.

The Gold Heavenly King lashed out with his sword, obliterating Lin Bai’s head and arm.

The Dream Heavenly King, having ended the dream, cast a scornful glance at Lin Bai’s dissipating form. He and the other Heavenly Kings immediately fled in different directions.
