Something Big Was Coming!

Golden light shone on the water sphere, signifying that the "God of Desire" had entered the final effective range of [Azure Sea Sky Dome].

Lin Yu calmly put the water ball away, then looked at the members of the "Freedom Alliance".

"Nailed it."

Seeing Lin Yu's calm demeanor, the four members of the "Freedom Alliance" finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Although, apart from Li Nian, the Comedian, Old Wu, and Chen Le are all seasoned, high-level "Player," and even Li Nian can be described as knowledgeable and experienced...

However, Lin Yu's actions just now still shocked them.

Li Nian was the first to rush forward and hug Lin Yu.

"Wow, that's amazing! Sister Zhu Ming —what the hell?! How did you subdue a Deity with just a few words—and this God of Desire actually became your Summoned Creature?! Are you kidding me?!"

"You are truly a genius— the Psychology Society's rating of you is far too low!"

As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu laughed, "It's not that exaggerated..."

"This isn't an exaggeration, this is an outrageous exaggeration!" Chen Le stepped forward and gave Lin Yu a thumbs up. "Honestly, since entering this [Instance], every single thing you've done has made me doubt whether you're even a 'Tier 2' character... Now, I'm even starting to doubt whether you're even human."

"Honestly, Zhu Ming, do you have some kind of system? Did you get reborn? Are you playing this 'Death game' for the second time?"

Chen Le said earnestly.

Li Nian grinned at Chen Le: "I don't know if Sister Zhu Ming has a system, but Brother Le, you definitely have Tomato Novels on your phone—you should probably read less of them."

"There really are... but reading novels isn't bad either. At least it helps maintain a habit of long-term reading, and it's good for maintaining focus and cultivating reading interest," Chen Le said earnestly. "Of course, A Nian, you're about to take the college entrance exam, so your studies should be your priority..."

Li Nian stuck out her tongue. "Ugh, I'm so tired of hearing this every day. Brother Le, please stop saying these things. It makes you sound like an old man, even more so than the Comedian and Old Wu combined."

"Besides, the reason I told you to read less is because this incident exposed the fact that you can't catch any fish—you usually read novels while waiting for the fish to bite," Li Nian said with a grin. "If you were catching fish frequently, you definitely wouldn't be so bored as to read novels to pass the time."

Li Nian spoke, Chen Le's expression changed slightly.

"You... damn it!"

Chen Le rubbed his forehead in frustration, clearly feeling a sore spot.

Behind Chen Le, the Comedian pointed to himself, looking rather disheartened, and asked Old Wu, "Old Wu, are we old men?"

"Brother, your daughter is about the same age as A Nian, so it's no surprise she calls you an old man," Old Wu patted the Comedian on the shoulder, looking quite nonchalant. "Accept reality, we really are 'older generation' now."

At this point, Old Wu looked at Lin Yu: "And these young people are truly formidable... Tier 2 cultivator being able to subdue Deity —if this news gets out, other organizations will probably think we're just bragging."

"That's really impressive, Zhu Ming."

Lin Yu remained modest. "You flatter me. It was all thanks to the right timing, location, and people... If I were to encounter Deity- level being with only my own strength, I would probably die on the spot if the other party even glanced at me."

Old Wu waved his hand. "Forget it, even if you let me reach 'Tier 2,' or even if you let any 'Tier 2' Player have the 'right time and place,' the chance of truly turning a former Deity into their [Summoned Creature] is absolutely nonexistent..."

"The facts and the outcome are there, and that won't change," Old Wu paused, then added, "But... although you might not say it that way in the end, and that 'God of Desire' might not obediently become your [Summoned Creature]—but that conversation did make me a little worried."

"You absolutely must be careful of the 'God of Desire's' schemes and Backlash. Don't act like those 'Psychology Society' lunatics, disregarding your safety for the sake of 'challenges.' I know you're strong, smart, and cautious enough not to make any mistakes, but when facing an existence of 'Deity' caliber, no amount of caution is excessive," Old Wu earnestly advised. "So, if you feel things are getting out of control, don't hide it... You must tell us, tell me and 'Comedian,' and we'll all work together to help you find a solution!"

Old Wu said seriously, and the Comedian nodded. "That's right. If all else fails, we'll try to contact Fang Qing for help... Or, if it really comes to that, you can make a bigger scene and get 'Order' to help you through the 'Director'."

Chen Le was quite surprised by the Comedian's words. "Huh? Does the Director's really have that much authority in 'Order'?"

"What I mean is to have the 'Director' report it to 'Order'... 'Order' certainly won't stand idly by while an Otherworldly Deity possesses or manipulates a 'Player'."

The Comedian explained.

Lin Yu said helplessly, "Don't scheme so much... dragging 'Order' and 'Director' into this is really unnecessary."

"I made that God of Desire rebel against me, use me... That's what I say, but He couldn't possibly do even a fraction of it."

"This is not my disrespect for the Deity... but rather that I truly can do it—after all, Zhu Qiansi, as the 'Chosen of God of Destiny,' is no less qualified than this 'former God of Desire.'"

"But if I hadn't voluntarily given her leave, Zhu Qiansi wouldn't have had the slightest chance to rebel against me or plot against me."

"And even disregarding 'rank,' from a purely 'calculation' perspective... I have many [Summoned Creature] who are far smarter than him, yet I still have them completely under my control."

"Disciplining my pets, my servants, is my specialty, you can rest assured about that," Lin Yu paused, "He may seem to have a chance to resist... but from the moment He submits to me, everything is already destined."

Listening to Lin Yu's words, Li Nian showed complete trust in her "Zhu Ming" sister.

"That's right—don't forget, even without turning people into Summoned Creature, Sister Zhu Ming can train them to be like dogs, making them help her regardless of the opposing sides between organizations—she can definitely train her [Summoned Creature] to be completely obedient!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Le stroked his chin and said, "That's very convincing, A Nian."

Old Wu Comedian nodded thoughtfully after hearing Li Nian's words.

"That seems to be the case."

Looking at their expressions, Lin Yu said helplessly, "Although I'm glad you trust me, don't trust me just because of reasons like what A Nian gave."

"I really didn't treat the 'Director' like a dog... He helped me purely because he owed me a favor, and also because he's a decent person."

Li Nian chuckled and teased, "Oh dear, Sister Zhu Ming, I never said the 'Director' was being scolded like a dog by you... Ouch!"

Lin Yu gave Li Nian a sharp rap on the head without any hesitation, and said, "Don't try that on me. Who else could you be talking about? I'm not stupid. Do you think I can't understand what you're implying?"

He withdrew his hand, sighed, and looked at Old Wu: "Anyway, Old Wu, your concerns are indeed valid... but don't worry, I'm not one to act recklessly."

"Just like with Zhu Qiansi's situation, when I encountered problems, I immediately sought help from Fang Qing Boss and the organization—if this God of Desire really shows even the slightest sign of losing control, I will definitely tell you immediately as well."

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian added, "I'll also keep a close eye on Sister Zhu Ming. If anything seems amiss with her, I'll definitely report it to the organization immediately!"

"Don't worry, I'll help too— 'God of Desire' was once a Deity, which makes it easier for me to keep an eye on him and take action."

Fang Qing's voice came from above everyone's heads.

Upon hearing this voice, the group all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Boss!"

Fang Qing!

The members of the "Freedom Alliance" present looked up and saw Fang Qing's figure appearing and disappearing in the air.

Old Wu asked with concern, "Why did you show your face? Isn't this too much of a strain on you?"

Fang Qing shook his head. "No, because I came here under the pretext of fighting the God of Shadows... so I have a 'reason' for coming, and the World Will's will won't reject me too much for the time being."

"Furthermore, given the unique nature of [Azure Sea Sky Dome] and the commotion caused by the descent of the God of Desire just now, I shouldn't have any problem moving around for a short time."

Fang Qing spoke, the Comedian laughed and said, "That's great... So, it's not actually that complicated or difficult for us to see you. It's like you've gone abroad to study—although it's not exactly ideal, at least we can still see you."

Chen Le also spoke up, "Fang Qing, don't worry too much. I've obtained three rare items this time, and I'm almost finished collecting them—I'll be at 'Tier 4' soon too, so you can relax!"

"Brother Le, what nonsense are you talking about? It's like the Boss is dead," Li Nian kicked Chen Le's shin and said, "Can't you say something auspicious?"

"It's nothing, I came here just for Chen Le," Fang Qing glanced at Lin Yu, "Zhu Ming seems to be doing fine... but Chen Le, what's your next step—to continue collecting the Nine Treasures, right?"

Chen Le nodded. "Yes, there are still two items left in the Nether Void Realm. I've already located them, so there's no reason not to go and get them."

Fang Qing shook his head. "This time we really have to let it go for now—my recommendation is that you lead everyone to evacuate first, and don't worry about these two things here."

"Let's get our hands on [Naga's Guidance] and [Echoes of Mu Continent] first."

Chen Le was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "Why is that? Is there any significance to this order?"

"It's not that the order matters; it's that the World Will of the Pure Ruins has its eye on you," Fang Qing said, looking at Chen Le. "Your actions and encounters this time are too unusual. You can't use the effects of the [Sea Beast Certificate] from the past to infer the situation this time."

"So, if you don't leave soon... the big one is probably coming."
