A righteous two-on-one, a righteous Heavenly Demon helper

"Resurrection Coin?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the "Diviner" was somewhat stunned.

"This sounds like something a 'Player' would do... Oh well, it doesn't matter."

He looked up at the figure that had appeared beside Jian Cunyi.

"The important thing is, you've already escaped, so why do you dare to come back here willingly?"

Standing beside Jian Cunyi, the shadow around Lin Yu gradually faded.

What does it mean to offer something upfront?

Lin Yu patted Jian Cunyi on the shoulder beside him. Although he had almost been swallowed by "death" just now, he was now...

"Thank you very much, Brother Lin."

Jian Cunyi thanked him softly and glanced at Lin Yu beside him.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be in grave danger today."

But even so...

Lin Yu was standing right there, and the "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi was completely unharmed.

The aura of "death" had completely dissipated before it could even touch him.

Therefore, Jian Cunyi is still a living Human God who holds the Authority "humanity" and the Divine Rank "Immortal"!

After sincerely thanking Lin Yu, Jian Cunyi turned his attention back to the "Diviner".

"So... your carefully laid trump card has been exposed by Brother Lin. Now, do you still have a way to save your life?"

"Faced with a Deity determined to kill you... even you wouldn't have that many choices."

Jian Cunyi cold voice, raising the Wooden Sword in his hand once more.

This time, the sword was raised more slowly than before—not out of any deliberate choice of "using softness to overcome hardness" or "using slowness to defeat speed," but because this sword strike... was truly heavier than all the previous ones combined.

Along the path the sword traversed, within that trajectory... All Living Beings and All Their Forms emerged.

This is... a sword strike carrying the will of "humanity," a sword strike that gathers the weight of the Destiny of billions of Living Beings in the Prison Mountain Realm.

In addition to the Authority of "human beings", the Authority of "nature" belonging to the Dao Ancestor was also added to it, and incidentally, the Heavenly Dao's blessing of the "Prison Mountain Realm" was also activated through this Authority.

Lin Yu glanced sideways at Jian Cunyi his sword, feeling the power emanating from the Wooden Sword that was enough to overturn any obstacle and annihilate any object, and thought to himself.

Even a being ranked second on the Rankings Diviner, whose true overall strength might rival that of Deity... has absolutely no chance of blocking this sword strike, right?

An attack that borrows the power of "all living beings in heaven and earth"... no matter what work it's in, it's definitely the kind of attack that can directly kill the final villain, demon king, or Evil God.

Jian Cunyi didn't even need the people of the Prison Mountain Realm to raise their hands and lend him their vital energy to unleash such an attack...

"Brother Jian is truly... extremely amazing."

For a fleeting moment, Lin Yu even began to question whether the Rankings compiled by Shen Bingmiao contained any errors or omissions.

Is Brother Jian's ranking too low?

Although the third-ranked Violent Maniac has a slightly lower intelligence level, it seems there's nothing wrong with his ranking. After all, he's someone who uses the World Will as a basic attack after activating "Heart Domain".

But how did the fourth-ranked internet addict who stubbornly refuses to Becoming a God, the fifth-ranked bespectacled woman who idolizes Old Zheng and seems to have severe hysteria, and the sixth-ranked Super Savage Homeless Wanderer who is completely fooled by himself, all rank ahead of "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi Brother Jian, this "Exiled Immortal," "future Human God," and "Friend of the Dao Ancestor"?

Of course, Lin Yu knew that it was just Jian Cunyi's "expressiveness" at that moment that made him feel this way... The ranking left by his Senior Sister was still authoritative in the end.

So...

He was quite certain that even though he had outmaneuvered the "Diviner" and destroyed the "death" power he had borrowed from who-knows-where, but...

This guy is far from being in Desperate Plight straits.

Really...

When Jian Cunyi raised the tip of his sword to a level position, pointing it at the spot where the "Diviner" was standing...

The "Diviner" spoke.

"Brother Cunyi... you really did a great job this time. The 'little helper' you chose has truly exceeded my expectations."

"I truly have no more trump cards prepared in advance that can contend against Deity- level power... but..."

The Diviner whispered, and between his fingers appeared a bright red, still-beating heart.

He clutched his pounding heart and declared loudly, "Feng Shui Master, Director... you two should know that someone as extraordinary as me, a genius, even without prior preparation, possesses the ability to learn on the spot and create solutions in Desperate Plight!"

"Jian Cunyi... Thank you for showing me how to use [Fragment of Fate] to borrow the power of Fated Object!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Diviner's fingers tightened, gripping the pounding, bright red heart!

The heart he was gripping tightly stopped beating, but the vibrations of contraction and relaxation seemed to travel through the Diviner's body in that instant!

After this process of contraction and relaxation throughout the Diviner's body completed a cycle, the heart briefly disappeared.

"You want to use [Fragment of Fate] to borrow 'Destiny' itself? Foolish... How could that possibly be possible?!"

Jian Cunyi said sarcastically.

The Diviner burst into laughter. "That's because... the Authority I seek is not 'Destiny,' Brother Cunyi!"

"The 'Authority' that awaits me on my bright future is certainly not just a broken 'Destiny' that I must rebuild!"

As he spoke, a strange aura of Authority emanated from the Diviner —this Authority instantly spread to his expanded "Heart Domain," elevating it to...

It's like a true Divine Kingdom!

At first glance, the originally distorted and upside-down world seems to have returned to normal, but upon closer inspection, the sky becomes the earth again, and the earth becomes the sky again. However, upon deeper reflection, it seems as if nothing has changed.

The original "inversion and confusion" has now become even more indistinguishable, even more... dizzying and nauseating.

It's as if "disorder" itself has been disordered.

This phenomenon and the aura of Authority were so obvious, yet Jian Cunyi and Lin Yu were unable to immediately discern or identify what kind of "Authority" it was!

"Now, we can have a fair fight again, Brother Cunyi —but this should be our last resort, shouldn't it?"

Let's settle this here!

Jian Cunyi sigh of relief and said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"

But just Jian Cunyi was about to swing his sword, Lin Yu spoke softly beside him.

"Who said it was a 'fair duel,' Diviner...?"

Even if you gain Authority, it will still be two against one.

Upon hearing this, the Diviner looked at Lin Yu and chuckled, "You worthless brat, you managed to sabotage my plans once thanks to the [Item] created by a 'Player' and a stroke of Destiny, and you really think you can participate in a battle of this level?"

"You're just a 'Tier 2' fool, not even out of the 'mortal' realm... It seems your talent has backfired—you've developed a false sense of security because the previous Game went too smoothly."

The Diviner finished speaking and raised his finger.

A kind of "twisted" power burst forth from the tip of his index finger, and then the air around Lin Yu curled and twisted, as if it was about to tear Lin Yu to shreds.

Brother Lin!

Jian Cunyi was about to throw down his Wooden Sword and rush to Lin Yu's aid when Lin Yu's voice rang out.

"Don't worry, Brother Jian, I'm fine."

As he spoke, his distorted form began to gradually dissipate, but his tone gradually calmed.

"Diviner, you really don't understand me... I've never thought of myself as having any talent, so I've never had any arrogant feelings or thoughts—on the contrary, from the very beginning, I've been planning all of this with utmost caution."

"So... it's never me who's supposed to help Brother Jian fight 'two against one'."

The Diviner narrowed his eyes. "[Guest Appearance Invitation]? You can try and see if you can activate it..."

"To be honest, even if you succeed in launching this attack, I have the ability to completely erase your existence here before your 'helpers' arrive."

Lin Yu listened to the Diviner's words and sighed.

"First of all, I don't intend to use the [Guest Appearance Invitation]..."

"Secondly... I'm not even here."

As soon as he finished speaking, during the twisting process, the Diviner saw clumps of ink melting and falling off Lin Yu's figure.

"It's a disguise... How could that be? Your soul is clearly..."

The Diviner hadn't even finished speaking when he also fell silent.

Because he could sense that... within the "soul" of the "Director" he perceived, there were also fragmented "souls" that were peeling away and dissipating.

Just as the person before us is covered in ink as a disguise, the "soul" of this being is also covered with a layer of Lin Yu's Soul Fragment as a disguise!

Even... the person I just spoke with was indeed the "real" Lin Yu himself—those souls occupied the dominant consciousness before they peeled away.

With most of his attention focused on Jian Cunyi... it was indeed impossible for him to see through such a disguise.

What truly shocked the "Diviner" and even Jian Cunyi...

It is the person revealed after this disguise is removed... or rather, the appearance of that being.

He was a tall, slender guy wearing a suit that seemed out of place in the Prison Mountain Realm.

Meanwhile, that guy's head... was a heart shape made of knitted yarn.

His entire body radiated a pale golden light.

"I never imagined... I'd be able to return to the Prison Mountain Realm after all this time."

"And... I, the former 'Heavenly Demon,' am actually going to fight alongside the 'Chosen One' favored by the Dao Ancestor!"

The God of Desire stretched and yawned.

"A 'Feng Shui Master,' you say? I'll fully cooperate with you from now on!"

"In exchange, remember to communicate with the 'Dao Ancestor'... When he senses my presence, don't strike me with heavenly lightning!"
