Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 414 Law Guide

PHEW!

Lin Bai let out a light sigh.

That was close, really close. I simply stumbled upon the most useless discovery—three hundred types of wedding ceremonies! It makes sense though. Back then, when I went through such a grand spectacle to marry Xu Longyun and the others, wasn't this what I was rewarded with in the end too? If my Glib Lotus did indeed touch upon the truth of the Law of Love, and if the System rewards me based on that, then without a hint from me, the Goddess of Love probably would never get the remaining rewards from the Matchmaker System. The mission of the Magpie Bridge is to set tests for couples I create and help their love stories spread far and wide. The Goddess of Love probably wouldn't go so far as to pair off new couples and do them that favor!

「...」

"Congratulations, Alea, you've taken the first step on the path of Laws. Your talent surprises me, and I would like to be your mentor on this journey, helping you take a step further down the path of Laws. Moreover, I hope that one day, on the battlefield against the gaming company, you'll become a reliable comrade guarding my back." Lin Bai showed a look of delight as he clapped his hands, awarded the Goddess of Love, and subtly changed their relationship with his Glib Lotus.

Better safe than sorry. What if Alea inadvertently cultivates other Divine Skills? I managed to establish myself as a teacher; with the Ruler of the mentorship System handy, I can manipulate things as I want. Moreover, who wouldn't want the strong allies they raised themselves to become their comrades?

"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch." Alea couldn't hide her excitement, but then she sighed. "It's a pity; in the end, I didn't understand the essence of the Magpie Bridge. I just grasped the essentially useless wedding ceremony."

"Take it slow. You already understood the wedding ceremony the first time; that's far better than me. Initially, when I was starting to comprehend the Way of Love, I was entirely clueless. I had to rely on the Magic Treasures from my master to gradually learn my way," Lin Bai comforted her. "Moreover, the wedding ceremony is not useless. It's the foundation for another formidable Divine Skill."

"Alliance Hierarch, you know about the wedding ceremony?" Alea asked in surprise. At this moment, her eyes were fully fixed on Lin Bai, completely ignoring her newlywed groom.

The Star God looked resentful, but mostly he was confused and puzzled. He didn't understand why, in the same wedding, Alea was able to perceive Law while he couldn't sense anything.

The other gods were shocked that Alea had perceived the Law. They each had a bellyful of questions they wanted to ask her and Lin Bai, but at this time, no one wanted to disturb them, as they could glean crucial information from their conversation too.

"Alea, count carefully; there should be exactly three hundred." Lin Bai indirectly answered her question and chuckled. "Do you know why it's three hundred? In the Law of Love, 300 represents the phrase 'missing you'; it's a secret code used among lovers. Each Law carries deeper implications."

"Can grasping the implications within it allow us to understand other Laws?" the God of Love asked urgently, a strange smile on his face.

"It also depends on personal comprehension. If the path of Laws was so easy to comprehend, could it still be called the path of Laws?" Lin Bai sighed lightly, backing himself up. "Alea, up until now, you're the first person I've encountered who has perceived the Law of Love."

"Why didn't I perceive a thing from the same wedding?" The Star God couldn't hold back any longer, finally asking the question that had been on his mind.

"Back then, the wedding I held was even grander than yours, but aside from me, no one else was able to comprehend the Way of Love," Lin Bai replied. "Thales, you need to work harder."

"Have more weddings? Or keep cultivating love with Alea?" the Star God questioned further.

Scumbag! He still wants to have more weddings? I never even thought about it.

Lin Bai glanced at him, saying, "Comprehending Laws hinges on comprehension. Repetition doesn't increase your chances. You can consider cultivating your love with Alea, or you can try to comprehend other Laws, like the Way of Incompleteness, the Heavenly Dao, or the Way of Cooking. Understanding any one of these Laws can potentially support your final breakthrough."

The Star God's eyes flickered; he clearly had other ideas on his mind. After all, having personally witnessed the Goddess of Love perceive Laws at their wedding, who would not believe their own comrades? In chaotic times with wavering Faith Power, who wouldn't aspire to take the final step and free themselves from the shackles of faith?

"The war hasn't begun yet, Alliance Hierarch Lin, please tell us more about the Cultivation of Rules!" The Forest Goddess chimed in. "Alea is the Goddess of Love, so it was easier for her to comprehend the Way of Love, but we're clueless about love. Perhaps other Laws would be better suited for us?"

"Exactly, exactly. Didn't you say so yourself? In the future, we'll face off against the gaming company. Wouldn't it be better to have as many comrades as possible?" The Goddess of the Moon added.

The gods let their guards down towards Lin Bai, all asking him to continue preaching.

"Alliance Hierarch Lin, we have nothing to do at the moment. Why not talk some more?" The Earth Goddess smiled.

Do you think I'm easy to fool? Or do you think you've got me roped in? Perhaps you believe I'm so altruistic that I'd boost your abilities?

Lin Bai secretly sneered, but his expression was sincere. "Gods, the method for the Cultivation of Rules is detailed extensively in Justice Weekly. No matter how many times it's repeated, it depends on an individual's fortune and comprehension. Right now, I'm in my deepest research into the Way of Love. The new Divine Skill I discovered may assist one to comprehend the Law of Love. If you're also willing to cultivate the Law of Love, I could help..."

"What kind of Divine Skill?" The Forest Goddess asked eagerly.

"A wedding ceremony," said Lin Bai.

"A wedding ceremony again?" The Wisdom Goddess scoffed. "How's that different from what you said before? Do you want each of us to have a wedding ceremony?"

"This wedding ceremony is different; it can force one to comprehend Laws." Lin Bai was quite satisfied with the Wisdom Goddess's interaction. He glanced at her and said, "If you paid attention to the conversation I just had with Byleth, you must have heard that one of my clones used a wedding ceremony to suppress the Abyss Lord and the Necromancer King..."

The audience of gods broke out in whispers. The eyes of the Goddess of Love, Alea, suddenly lit up, and she felt that her future path seemed bright and spacious.

"The Abyss Lord and the Necromancer King were indeed trapped, but they were forced. The two of them cursed at Alliance Hierarch Lin during the wedding. Moreover, during the wedding, everyone's Divine Power will be suppressed, and we will be played around just like mortals." The Player called Son of Wind seemed unable to bear the gods being deceived by Lin Bai any longer. He exposed Lin Bai's lies and then looked provocatively at Lin Bai after saying so.

The Players watching the live broadcast were also shocked when the Goddess of Love comprehended the Divine Skill. Lin Bai's Skills and Laws were like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's mouth, always tantalizing the Players. Everyone knew the power of Laws and the way to cultivate them, but no one could successfully cultivate them. For a while, some Players had cultivated to the second stage of the Heavenly Dao, causing much excitement among the Players. They rushed to Cultivate the Heavenly Way, but soon, those who had cultivated to the second stage, no matter how hard they tried, didn't receive any guidance to the third stage. This once again dampened the enthusiasm of the Players. Eventually, the Players all came to believe that the Way of Rules was a product of the Righteous Door, and that Players would never be able to cultivate it successfully. Now that the Goddess of Love had grasped the Power of Rules, while the Players were skeptical, they also sought to sabotage Lin Bai. One Lin Bai mastering Laws was enough; there couldn't be a second one.

"Really?" the Wisdom Goddess asked.

Before the Player could answer, Lin Bai spoke, "Of course, it's true."

The Son of Wind was struck speechless.

"I was just discussing this with Byleth. Under the wedding ceremony, all beings are equal." Lin Bai turned towards the Earth Goddess. "If something doesn't suppress the Divine Power of all the gods, is it truly a Law? Otherwise, with the volatile temperament of the Lord of the Abyss and the Necromancer King, they wouldn't be able to calm themselves down without having their strength suppressed. During the Phoenix Seeks Phoenix ceremony, the Star God was involuntarily affected. Moreover, my own strength was suppressed during the wedding ceremony—nobody could harm anyone else."

Lin Bai turned to the Wisdom Goddess and mocked, "So, Wisdom Goddess, I do not know what you are worrying about. Questioning others because of your own ignorance isn't wisdom; it's petty cleverness and obstinacy."

The Wisdom Goddess was choked, wanting to refute but suddenly not knowing what to say. Lin Bai was too candid; he had hidden almost nothing.

The gods were silent. The Star God nodded thoughtfully. The Goddess of Love looked at Lin Bai with admiration, carefully considering every word he said. Through the lens of sophistry, the more she pondered, the more profound truths she believed his words contained.

"Not everyone is the Goddess of Love. Your Divine Statuses are affecting your will." Lin Bai looked around at everyone, his words full of earnestness. "There's a saying in the Righteous Door: 'Break and then establish.' You must first suppress your own power in order to better understand the new power. The Power of Rules that I comprehended from Alea's wedding is specially made for enlightenment. It doesn't have any destructive power; it's truly egalitarian. Otherwise, you should be hearing news of the funeral of the Lord of the Abyss, not his wedding."

"But you've also said that each Law can only create one True God. Why are you still tirelessly encouraging all of us to cultivate the Law of Love?" The Wisdom Goddess habitually searched for loopholes in Lin Bai's words.

"Yes, indeed, each Law can only correspond to one True God." Lin Bai stared at the Wisdom Goddess with increasing scorn. "So what? Is this your excuse for retreating? Wisdom Goddess, are you trying to say that since I have already gone so far down the road of the Way of Love, others cultivating the Way of Love will never achieve anything in the end?"

The Wisdom Goddess was speechless.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I've never given up on the Heavenly Dao. The Way of Love is just an embellishment on my path of cultivation. I don't mind if someone surpasses me and becomes the God of Love." Lin Bai looked at the Wisdom Goddess with pity and shook his head. "Wisdom Goddess, if your vision is only this limited, don't bother with the Way of Rules. Honestly, just stay in the Continent of Gods and Demons and be your goddess. Your mindset is affecting you; you'll never succeed."

The Wisdom Goddess's face turned pale instantly.

The Goddess of the Moon looked at the embarrassed Wisdom Goddess and said, "Alliance Hierarch Lin, Atis was just worried for us; she meant no harm." She smoothly changed the subject. "Alliance Hierarch, you shouldn't have let the Lord of the Abyss realize the Way of Rules. With these evil spirits possessing such power, it will only lead to greater destruction."

"Survival of the fittest. Without an enemy, everyone would just be marking time," said Lin Bai firmly. After a pause, he continued, "Everyone, I've said more than enough. My words end here. Among you, whoever wishes to experience the Way of Love, I can help. If you believe I'm deceiving you, I won't interfere with your freedom either. The Dream Heavenly King has escaped from the Misty Forest, and I will go find him next. I won't continue to play house with all of you here."

The Earth Goddess had not spoken yet. The Forest Goddess had already stood up. "Alliance Hierarch Lin, wait! I am willing to experience the Way of Love."

The Goddess of the Moon said, "I'm willing too."

The Mountain God said, "I'm also willing."

Once one person, unable to withstand the temptation, took the lead, more and more deities, as if they had lost their ability to think, eagerly and voluntarily joined in.

After all, they were only getting married. The biggest loss they could incur was not comprehending the Way of Love, and it wouldn't hinder their understanding of other Laws.

Besides, even the Lord of the Abyss had been controlled; what were they worrying about?

Finally, the Wisdom Goddess, after struggling for a long time, also joined in. She said haltingly, "Alliance Hierarch Lin, I also want to comprehend the Way of Love, but I hope you will maintain a fair heart. Please do not treat me differently from them merely because of my questions. Questioning doesn't mean I'm your enemy."

"Of course, I'm not that petty." Lin Bai looked at the Wisdom Goddess, shaking his head with a smile. "If you still have doubts, Alea and Thales can monitor me. They are already married and won't get married a second time. Of course, Byleth could too, but as the Earth Goddess, she's not suitable for the Way of Love."

"I'm not interested in the Way of Love either. I can follow Lin Bai to learn about other Laws," the War Goddess said coldly.

"No problem," Lin Bai nodded.

PHEW!

Everyone sighed in relief, their apprehensive hearts finally settling.

The Earth Goddess was their pillar, possessing great power. With her overseeing Lin Bai, they naturally did not fear any foul play. Furthermore, they also had Alea, Thales, and Hill. Even if Lin Bai was powerful, he couldn't fight against four Main Gods simultaneously.

Byleth also sighed in relief. She was curious about the Way of Love, but her status was too high; no deity would dare to marry her. She couldn't just randomly find someone to tie the knot with, as they wouldn't deserve her. Since Lin Bai said she was more suited to other Laws, that was even better.

"Alliance Hierarch Lin, you have shown us enough sincerity. Let's drop the talk about monitoring. I trust you. While they are getting married, we can discuss the Way of other Rules." The Earth Goddess looked at Lin Bai, an easy smile hanging on her lips.

"I trust you as well." Alea came over to Lin Bai, her eyes determined. "Alliance Hierarch, for a while, I'd like to follow you to understand more about the Way of Rules. Thales and I can help you fight against the Dream Heavenly King and his team."

Trust me? I don't even trust myself! You are all too arrogant.

Lin Bai cursed inwardly. Looking around at the crowd that had taken the bait, he bowed to them sincerely. "Thank you all for your trust. Now, please, each of you find your partner. We will start the wedding ceremonies right away. The ceremonies will interfere with each other if performed collectively, so they must be held separately.

"I will create clones to help each newlywed couple hold their wedding. Rest assured, the clones are just ordinary spirits, devoid of any Divine Power.

"Currently, with the War God's expedition to the Fairy World and the Dream Heavenly King's escape from the Misty Forest, there are too many things we need to do. Therefore, everyone's wedding ceremonies will be held simultaneously. Whether or not you can comprehend the Law of Love depends on your luck."
