Ten Thousand Ways To Eliminate Players-Chapter 421 I Arrive I Conquer
Many Evil Gods were left speechless.
The Abyss Lord wore a puzzled expression. He suddenly realized a question he had overlooked. Did Lin Bai truly care about this world?
He let out a breath, breaking free from Lin Bai's arm around his shoulder, and said, "Lin Bai, perhaps I misspoke. Destroying the world could drive you to madness. When you lose yourself and are controlled by power, you won't just destroy the Continent of Gods and Demons, but other worlds as well. Ultimately, you'll become a maniac who only knows destruction."
Lin Bai nodded again, looking at the Evil Gods. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let me seal you before I lose my sanity."
The Abyss Lord was exasperated. "Lin Bai, are you serious? Even I know self-restraint. You have so many followers; don't you consider them at all?"
"I need power." Lin Bai's expression turned much more serious. He freed a hand and took out the Heart of Sky Demon. "Besides, I might have more self-control than you imagine."
The moment the Heart of Sky Demon appeared, an aura even more malevolent and tyrannical than that of the Abyss Lord filled the entire space.
The God of Destruction and other divine beings trembled at the sight of the pulsating heart.
"This is..." As the Abyss Lord gazed at the Heart of Sky Demon, his words caught in his throat. His eyes became bloodshot, and guttural roars involuntarily escaped him.
If not for the Card's suppression, he likely would have lunged to snatch the Heart of Sky Demon the instant it appeared.
Seeing the Abyss Lord's ferocious state, Lin Bai quickly put the Heart of Sky Demon away.
Truthfully, taking out the Heart of Sky Demon while also sharing the Abyss Lord's demonic power was an immense test of his willpower.
For a fleeting moment, he had barely resisted the urge to shove the Heart of Sky Demon into his own stomach. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
It had to be said, the power of the Heart of Sky Demon far surpassed that of the Abyss Lord.
Even after the Heart of Sky Demon was put away, the Abyss Lord didn't regain his senses. He stared fixedly at Lin Bai, veins bulging on his forehead. "Give me... give me that heart..."
Lin Bai frowned slightly, retracted the Abyss Lord into the Card, and then released him again.
All attributes restored, the Abyss Lord regained his lucidity. He looked at Lin Bai, silent for a moment, then asked, "Can your Card suppress my violent nature?"
"If I'm confident I can subdue you, I'm confident I can suppress you," Lin Bai stated. "Now, can you follow me to conquer other worlds without worry? You've seen for yourself, outside this universe, there are many beings far more evil than you. Your evil, compared to theirs, is like a firefly to the bright moon—not even close."
The Abyss Lord paused, then asked, "Whose heart is that?"
"The Supreme Sky Demon," Lin Bai blurted out. "He was exterminated by the founder of my Righteous Door. The Supreme Sky Demon is immortal and can never be completely wiped out. After the ancestors of the Righteous Door defeated him, they could only dismember him, and I just happened to get his heart."
The Abyss Lord stared at Lin Bai, his mouth twitching a few times. He couldn't help but ask, "When ordinary people encounter indestructible Demon Beasts, don't they seal them after dismembering them? Why does your Righteous Door seem to be...divvying up spoils?"
"Because I need it to temper my will!" Lin Bai laughed. "Otherwise, how do you think I could withstand your frenzied demonic power? Besides, this is my ultimate trump card for survival. When I face an unbeatable enemy, I can implant the Great Sky Demon's heart into myself at any time, become a new Great Sky Demon, and unleash devastation."
The Abyss Lord's forehead veins throbbed. "If you become the Great Sky Demon, wouldn't you lose yourself?"
Lin Bai looked at the Abyss Lord strangely. "If I'm about to die anyway, why worry about such things? Even if it means mutual destruction, I can't let those who wronged me get away scot-free. That's the creed of our Righteous Door: debts of gratitude and vengeance repaid, even if it means we all perish together..."
The Abyss Lord fell silent. In that instant, he felt his defeat was not undeserved.
Your sect calls this 'repaying debts of gratitude and vengeance'? The Great Sky Demon was probably raised by your Righteous Door, wasn't he? And you have the gall to call yourselves the Righteous Door? Even the Abyss Lord knows self-restraint. All of us Evil Gods combined aren't as wicked as you! We can't run, we can't fight, and we can't out-evil you. What else can we do?
The God of Destruction and the others looked at each other, then simultaneously bowed their noble heads. "We are willing to join the Justice League and serve Alliance Hierarch Lin."
With two Abyss Lords presiding, subjugating them went very smoothly. All the deities were safely sealed into Cards. When released, they were dazed and had lost their senses.
Having settled everything, Lin Bai felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Without further ado, he sealed all the deities into Cards. After one last glance at the Misty Forest, long since reduced to ruins, he sighed, "What a sin," then used Shadow Following to return to Free City.
By this time, most weddings had concluded. Only the ceremonies for the Earth Goddess and the Wisdom Goddess were still underway. The deities, sealed by the Divided Gods, stood dazedly beside them, awaiting the return of Lin Bai's true self to distribute Enlightenment Pills.
Upon seeing Lin Bai appear, the deities who had previously regained their senses immediately came forward to greet him.
During her wedding, the Wisdom Goddess saw Lin Bai return unharmed, and a look of utter despair crossed her face. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but no words came. She could only lower her head and silently wait for the ceremony to end.
Lin Bai ignored the Wisdom Goddess and arrived above the Earth Goddess's wedding. He released the Abyss Lord, whose overwhelming evil aura made the people of Free City tremble.
Players at the wedding aimed their cameras at the sky. The live comments scrolling across their screens were filled with wails, expressing their despair for the future.
The Earth Goddess looked at the Abyss Lord beside Lin Bai and said, "Larondo, I thought you could have held on a bit longer."
The Abyss Lord looked down at the Earth Goddess and shook his head. "Surrender, Byleth. You're no match for him. Continuing to oppose him will only bring you more torment."
Lin Bai tossed Spirit Fruits into his mouth, maintaining his composure. "Byleth, a word to the wise is enough. I'll take you all soaring in the future."
Byleth looked up at Lin Bai in the sky and was silent for a moment. "Alright, I surrender. But you must promise to help me regain my senses and take me to visit the Righteous Door."
"No problem. Byleth, you've made the wisest decision." Lin Bai smiled and nodded at Byleth. "Byleth," he added, still smiling, "the Abyss Lord regained his senses on his own. I believe you can too."
"You don't have any more Enlightenment Pills, do you?" The Earth Goddess instantly saw through Lin Bai's intentions. "So, the claim of an unlimited supply of Enlightenment Pills was a lie."
Lin Bai spread his hand, revealing the last few Enlightenment Pills in his palm. "As expected of the Earth Goddess, nothing escapes you. These are the last few. Byleth, if you can't regain your senses on your own, I can give you one. After all, you are also a ruler of this world. I will give you the respect you deserve."
The Wisdom Goddess's face turned ashen. She muttered, "I knew it. How could he possibly be so kind?"
The War Goddess's eyes widened. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin Bai, you liar!"
"How could I be a liar? Nunu, just because I don't have them now doesn't mean I won't in the future. I'm also cultivating the Elixir Dao Law. Once I master it, I'll naturally be able to create Enlightenment Pills to help you regain your senses. I admit, I sometimes go a bit overboard, but I always fulfill my promises. After all, I am the true Son of Destiny, destined to suppress all in the future—the kind even the ancestors of the Righteous Door have personally acknowledged." Lin Bai said this earnestly. Ever since acquiring the Glib Lotus passive skill, giving himself such verbal boosts had become routine.
Shameless! The War Goddess cursed inwardly. She hesitated for a moment, then forced an unsightly smile. "Lin Bai, I apologize for my previous recklessness. I know you won't give me an Enlightenment Pill now, but I hope you'll keep your word and, someday in the future, help me regain my senses. I don't want to live as a mindless Puppet for the rest of my life."
"Alright, I promise you." Lin Bai smiled and nodded.
With all the deities surrendering, the Wisdom Goddess suddenly panicked. She looked up at the sky and pleaded, "Alliance Hierarch Lin, I admit I was wrong too! Please, help me regain my senses. I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life. You can do anything you want to me..."
Shameless! Xu Longyun cursed inwardly. She activated the Magpie Bridge, appearing beside Lin Bai. Coldly, she looked at the Wisdom Goddess. "Atis, stop deluding yourself. From the moment you set yourself against my husband at every turn, your descent into hell was sealed. As long as I am here, I will never allow you to regain your senses."
The smile on the Wisdom Goddess's face froze.
At this moment, she wanted to cry but couldn't. She realized she had made another grave mistake: she had offended not only Lin Bai but also his woman. She had been foolish to the point of her own undoing. Lin Bai was right; she truly didn't deserve the title of Wisdom Goddess...
After the Earth Goddess chose to submit, everything proceeded much more smoothly. The War Goddess, Wisdom Goddess, and other deities offered no resistance and were all sealed into Cards.
Lin Bai's guess was correct: the Earth Goddess and the Abyss Lord were beings of the same caliber. After being sealed into a Card, she regained consciousness on her own, without needing an Enlightenment Pill.
Sharing the Earth Goddess's Divine Power, the Abyss Lord's turbulent demonic energy within Lin Bai's body was suppressed back into his Dantian.
The Earth Goddess's Divine Power was peaceful and tranquil, equally infinite and boundless, enough to contend with the Abyss Lord's malevolent demonic energy.
Righteousness on one side, evil on the other—these two forces counterbalanced each other, forming a perfect equilibrium within Lin Bai's body.
He no longer even needed to consume Spirit Fruits to freely control the Abyss Lord's power.
At this very moment, Lin Bai truly comprehended his own strength—it was a sensation of having both Heaven and Earth within his grasp.
After sharing the Earth Goddess's Divine Power, the entire map of the Continent of Gods and Demons became accessible to him.
There were no blind spots for Lin Bai on the entire continent. He could accurately teleport himself to any location.
The Great Heavenly Sovereign System displayed a notification that the mission was complete and issued a new one:
[Conquer the current land (Completed); Reward: Oracle (Issued)]
[All land under Heaven is the King's land. Yet, within the territories you can reach, beings still exist who defy your rule. Conquer them. Reward: Descent (Within your domain, your Divine Soul can invade the body of any creature you have marked, thereby controlling them.)]
The Oracle allowed one's consciousness to enter the minds of all. Descent was essentially Body Snatching, and risk-free at that—quite domineering. Truly worthy of the Great Heavenly Sovereign System, placing one above millions, able to do whatever one pleased...
Lin Bai instinctively looked up at the sky, endless questions surfacing in his mind: Who on earth created this array of Systems? Possessing such inconceivable abilities, would they truly fear the game company? If even the creator of these Systems was wary of the game company, needing to use him to disrupt it, then just how powerful was that game company?
"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Xu Longyun asked, noticing Lin Bai's distracted gaze.
"Thinking about the future." Lin Bai used the Oracle on her.
The answer appeared directly in Xu Longyun's mind. She was taken aback, looked at Lin Bai, and softly said, "Husband, no matter what the future holds, we will always be by your side."
Lin Bai smiled and said no more. Instead, he granted the extraction ability to his many Disciples, letting them farm Divine Status from the god Puppets.
Many hands make light work.
With thirty-six Disciples working in unison, a large pile of multi-colored Divine Statuses was farmed in no time.
The commoners and Players of Free City were dumbstruck.
Most inhabitants of the Continent of Gods and Demons were believers of the various gods. But with their gods sealed by Lin Bai and turned into Puppets, their faith had partially crumbled.
Seeing heaps of Divine Statuses being extracted, everyone's faith utterly collapsed. They no longer believed in any gods.
If Divine Status continued to be produced at this rate, perhaps one day it would even be sold on shop shelves...
No, the people no longer trusted gods, but they had found a new faith—Lin Bai.
Regardless of how Lin Bai had conquered their gods, he was now the most powerful man in the world. If they had to choose a faith, believing in him was undoubtedly the right choice.
Garnett, the Red-Robed Bishop of Free City, gazed up at Lin Bai in the sky, a devout expression on his face as he knelt on one knee.
Lin Bai had once shown him the vastness of the world beyond. Garnett had also provided Lin Bai with information about the gods. He had once believed his actions would trigger a war among the gods, bringing disaster to the Continent of Gods and Demons, and he had been prepared to atone with his life.
But he had never imagined Lin Bai would conquer the Continent of Gods and Demons so quickly, and with hardly any casualties...
No one else could achieve such a feat! From this day forward, Lin Bai was his only god.
Watching Lin Bai farm the Divine Statuses, Alea and the others felt immensely fortunate.
Even if they had stubbornly refused to surrender, with Lin Bai distributing so many Divine Statuses, their faith would have collapsed, and their Divine Power would have dwindled to its nadir! Things were actually fine this way. Although they had lost their freedom, they had at least retained their strength...
The Little White Fox excitedly integrated the War Goddess's Divine Status into her body. Qing Yun chose the Forest Goddess's, Jiang Qingqin selected Cupid's, and Hu He picked the Mountain God's...
Like the Abyss Lord, the Earth Goddess was born from the world's will and similarly possessed no Divine Status. Xu Longyun had to change her target, choosing the Sun God's Divine Status for herself.
She wanted a powerful Divine Status to empower herself.
However, the Sun God was currently on an expedition in the Fairy World, so her plan to integrate the Divine Status had to be temporarily postponed. Still, she knew Lin Bai wouldn't make her wait too long.
Lin Bai's thirty-six Disciples also picked their preferred Divine Statuses—some from the righteous side, others from the malevolent. After integrating these Divine Statuses, they tirelessly experimented with their new abilities, thoroughly enjoying themselves...
Byleth and the Abyss Lord exchanged a look, their expressions complex. From this moment on, the very fabric of the Continent of Gods and Demons had irrevocably changed. It was no longer their era.
