Two gods beating up one mortal, four gods beating up two mortals
The Diviner was neither joking nor bluffing.
While swindling and deception are common tactics used by "Diviner," this time...
Lin Yu understood that the Diviner was not joking.
The surging energy within this [Instance], and the faint aura of a high-ranking being it contained, made it clear to Lin Yu that the "Diviner" truly intended to... destroy this "independent space" he had created.
Although this is an "important passage" connecting the Real World and the four worlds... after this "passage" is destroyed and collapses, it will not be "blocked". Instead, it will become more open and more difficult to close.
Furthermore, Lin Yu realized immediately that the "destruction" that was about to happen in Shenzhen was almost unstoppable.
The reason lies in the high-level aura hidden behind it.
After these Magic Array from different worlds appeared one after another, Lin Yu finally understood the essence of this space.
This space is inherently unstable.
It is pieced together from a portion of the Abyss the Night Valley Realm, the space where the Demon Ancestor Gantuo was sealed in the Prison Mountain Realm, the space outside the Absolute Sea in the Mist Island Realm, and the unstable space above the Great Wilderness in the Barren Realm.
This was already a precarious structure!
The reason why everyone overlooked this point is because that part of Mist Island's space hides a small portion of the attribute of "Oblivion," making it not so easily recognized as an object.
Although Lin Yu had been on guard the moment he was pulled into this [Instance], he still hadn't expected this.
Moreover, the troublesome "aura" of high positions is not just about "Oblivion" Authority.
Besides...
The Evil of Heaven and Earth belonging to the Demon Ancestor, the "chaotic" Authority belonging to the Lord of the Abyssal Lord, and a kind of "Authority" aura that Lin Yu had never seen before but was equally extremely dangerous—similar to Lera Avi's "Calamity," but with some differences.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the Diviner's current arrangement is undoubtedly "unsolvable".
This is not truly unsolvable. Perhaps given enough time, "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi will be able to unravel most of the Formation related to the Prison Mountain Realm.
They can even find ways to use the Authority they already possess to counteract the influence of that Authority.
But...
There's no longer enough time for him to do these things.
There are no absolutely perfect puzzles that can never be solved, nor are there any bombs that cannot be defused.
The Diviner never intended to turn this method of "destruction" into an absolutely undefendable bomb.
His goal was clear: if no one could dismantle it after it was discovered but before it was detonated, he would win.
Lin Yu could clearly feel...
These Formation activate very quickly; although they are enormous, they don't take long to fully charge.
According to Lin Yu's calculations and perceptions, there are less than thirty minutes left before this space is destroyed.
Moreover... during these thirty minutes, the "Emperor" and the "Diviner" will undoubtedly continue to prevent anyone from breaking their methods of destruction until the very last moment.
Lin Yu could even vaguely sense...
These thirty minutes were deliberately set aside by the Diviner.
This is the time he left for the members of "Order" and "Night Watcher"... to kill each other and achieve the [Clearance Conditions].
What truly undermines the legitimacy of the "Order" and "Night Watcher" organizational systems is not only the deaths of high-ranking combatants and figures, but also... forcing a large portion of the core forces to violate the Principles they themselves established.
The scheme is intricately linked; it's a case of killing someone by destroying their spirit.
Not only Lin Yu, but everyone else could clearly realize this.
"Leng Jing... you bastard! Are you going to kill so many people for your own selfish desires?"
Jian Cunyi's angry curses rang out.
The Emperor and the God of Shadows have stopped fighting, and the numerous Shadow Guards are now surrounding Jian Cunyi and Gu Mo without attacking.
Faced with Jian Cunyi's accusations, the "Diviner" smiled and shook his finger.
"It's too early to say I killed them. If they left this place, how can it be considered that I killed them?"
"That's just them killing each other—that's what I'm curious about too. In extreme circumstances, can the 'Order,' the 'Night Watcher,' still uphold the organization's principles?"
Gu Mo said coldly, "Of course they can!"
"Do you even believe what you're saying?" the Diviner whispered. "Every 'noble person' thinks they'll rush into a fire, but the moment they actually stand before a burning building, feeling the heat... the situation is different."
"Nobility is not a rare quality in ordinary times, but 'nobility' in times of crisis is rare and truly worthy of being called 'great'—there are too many of you members of 'Order' and 'Night Watcher,' too many for every single one to be 'great.'"
"This has nothing to do with human nature or anything like that; it's just a simple... probability problem."
Diviner spoke, Lin Yu's voice rang out again.
"However, they didn't need to make such a difficult choice."
As Lin Yu spoke, Gu Mo turned to look at him.
"Miao Miao, do you have a solution?"
The Diviner raised an eyebrow. "God of Games and Rules... 'Hacker,' what other options do you have?"
Lin Yu did not answer "Diviner," but looked at Jian Cunyi.
"Feng Shui Master, can you identify all the Formation in these Prison Mountain Realm within ten minutes and figure out their approximate structure and energy flow?"
Jian Cunyi nodded. "If it's just for identification, that's possible... but if it's cracked..."
"No need to crack it, I just need the flow to— A'mo, can you protect the 'Feng Shui Master' for ten minutes?"
Lin Yu continued.
Gu Mo nodded. "Ten out of ten? Don't worry... it's only such a short time. Even if three more gods come, I'll be fine."
The Diviner looked at Gu Mo: "Grandmaster, you've really ruined your brain with practicing martial arts... Do you really think you're invincible?"
Gu Mo looked at the Diviner, let out a long breath, and gently took a step forward.
"Otherwise what?"
The Diviner looked at Gu Mo, then stopped talking to her and turned to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble."
As the Diviner spoke, the emperor nodded, and the shadowy guards around him stirred again.
The shadowy guards nearby drew their swords and spears and charged towards Gu Mo!
"Bang!"
A large spear appeared in Gu Mo's hand, instantly sweeping away a large gap.
At the same time, Gu Mo's blood and qi surged, and some cracks appeared on her body.
The Diviner was astonished.
"So that's how it is, so this is what you're relying on... Gu Mo?"
"You've modified the 'Qi Induction' Cultivation Method, internalized the 'World Will' that's bestowed upon you, and integrated it into your very bones... Aren't you afraid of dying by doing this?"
Gu Mo glanced at the Diviner and sneered.
"It's only ten minutes, I can handle it..."
"Besides, so what if I die? It's no big deal!"
In the brief pause between their conversation, the emperor raised his hand.
The shadowy guards, who had already been cleared out by Gu Mo, retreated further, leaving an open space where Gu Mo and Jian Cunyi were standing.
But this is not due to the emperor's benevolence.
"Put."
A majestic voice uttered a single, resounding word, followed by a dense series of whooshing sounds that blended into the mournful roar of surging waves.
The once golden sky suddenly dimmed considerably—black arrows, like towering waves over ten meters high, rushed towards the direction where Gu Mo stood.
Each arrow carries with it the power of both "shadow" and "conquest".
Gu Mo's expression changed slightly, but after glancing at Jian Cunyi, who had already closed his eyes and whose spiritual power had completely subsided, she did not flinch.
"That's... quite respectful of me."
She murmured, raising the spear above her head.
Arrows rained down like waves, Gu Mo wielded her spear, creating an impenetrable barrier that deflected every single arrow with a clang.
"Hacker, aren't you going to make a move? Do you really think a 'Grandmaster' can hold out for ten minutes against two Deity working together?"
The Diviner looked at Lin Yu and said somewhat provocatively.
Lin Yu wanted to laugh.
"Of course I believe you... A'mo's abilities in direct combat are absolutely trustworthy."
"Secondly... let's put aside the 'Grandmaster' title for now. Could you withstand the combined attacks of two Deity for ten minutes?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the Diviner looked at Lin Yu.
"Trying to besiege me and use the 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' strategy... that's a good idea."
"If you're one, then who's the other one?"
"You yourself built a high wall in the 'Divine Realm,' and now the Deity can no longer interfere with the Ten Realms... This is Rule you established yourself."
"The 'Emperor' can come here because he also has the identity of a 'Player'... As for the God of Shadows, I reserved his place as the 'final boss' when I designed the [Instance]—how can you overcome the high wall you built yourself without the [Instance]'s mechanics and the power of the 'Death game'?"
"To be honest, I'm not surprised that you were able to come here on your own. After all, you opened a back door for yourself, which is within the scope of the 'Rule'... But to expect another 'Deity' to come here is a bit too wishful thinking, isn't it?"
Lin Yu sighed.
"Yes, yes... but I'm not asking you to call Him over now, He's already here."
"Hello, Zhu Ming, thank you for your help."
Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and a golden light shone beside him.
This golden light was different from the emperor's majestic and pure golden light; it revealed an aura of dazzling jewels and chaotic madness.
Then, a Deity with a heart-shaped woolen pillow on its head emerged from the golden light.
"Wow... their status has been restored, and Authority has been fully unleashed..."
He looked at the white-haired youth in the Daoist robe before him.
"Oh dear, your 'desires' are quite strong, mortal... almost to the point of 'insatiable greed'."
"I think I've seen your 'Desire' before... Hmm, it's quite remarkable that you were able to stay true to yourself and not be Backlash your Desire even when they were so intense."
"But this time the situation is different."
The Diviner squinted. "I don't understand what's different. Your methods... didn't work on me last time."
"Not this time either."
The God of Desire raised a finger, golden light swirling around its tip.
"You're seriously underestimating it; it possesses the 'Authority' of a true god!"
