Clear the Heart and See the Nature (Please Continue Reading)

One sword strike cleaved through a Realm Lord. This terrifying sight scared the other higher-ups witless. How could there be such a terrifying Domain Lord?

Just what level of strength did this Zhou Lin possess?

"His Highness's current strength probably puts his law comprehension at the thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge." Aido sighed. "Among the old hands in the Primal Secret Realm, there are basically none at this level."

The tenth level of Tongtian Bridge meant that one's law comprehension was comparable to that of an Immortal.

At present, the strongest Domain Lords in the Primal Secret Realm could only reach the eleventh level of Tongtian Bridge. Zhou Lin had already been able to accomplish this when he was still at the Cosmic level.

Why were prodigies prodigies? Because they spent less time than others, yet achieved results far beyond them.

The scene was utterly chaotic. With Zhou Lin's permission, the guards were also wantonly slaughtering those believers.

This was a true living hell.

Fresh lives were harvested one after another, yet Zhou Lin felt no guilt whatsoever. In his eyes, these believers did not count as human beings at all.

They were worse than beasts.

[Congratulations, Host Reputation has reached the required amount. Reward obtained: Myriad Tribulations Primordial Scripture]

Zhou Lin did not hurry to claim this secret art. Instead, he wielded his three-foot Long Sword and chased down the higher-ups everywhere.

Some Realm Lords fought back, but it was completely futile.

"What incredibly weak Realm Lords." Zhou Lin swung his sword, easily dismantling every attack. These people were far too weak.

Some people flew into the starry sky, but they were also killed by Zhou Lin's Void Realm clone.

"His Highness's Illusory Body is rather interesting." Aido was the most leisurely of them all, occasionally making a move to kill some believers.

It was utterly filthy. The actions of this organization were simply outrageous.

The slaughter continued for more than ten minutes. Only after the heavens grew dim, the sun and moon lost their light, and rivers of blood flowed did it finally end. The guards were exceptionally powerful; even the weakest among them possessed Realm Lord strength.

Zhou Lin's robe had been dyed bright red. The surging energy vaporized all the filth, revealing the white robe once more.

"His Highness, this slaughter will probably affect the final evaluation." Aido shook his head.

He had been to many Universe Countries and even to the Outer Domain Battlefield, personally killing many Aliens.

But this was still the first time he had witnessed slaughter on such a massive scale.

The originally dense forest had been reduced to nothing by the spreading flames of war. The seas had dried up, the ground had cracked, and the ecological chain of the entire planet had collapsed.

Everywhere he looked, there was devastation and desolation.

The so-called sacrifices in the Temple were also rescued by the guards and placed aboard one spaceship after another.

In this single battle, the Prestige Value he gained was even greater than what he had previously obtained on Imperial Capital Star. Although the number of people affected was smaller, the quality was far higher.

Zhou Lin's figure, like that of a god, had been deeply branded into their hearts. That sword beam, which cleaved through the stars and moon and pierced the heavens and earth, became the most beautiful memory of many people's lives.

In Imperial Capital Star, perhaps three out of every ten citizens would sincerely worship Zhou Lin.

But every living being in this Temple was incomparably grateful to him.

"Influence?" Zhou Lin said indifferently. "They're nothing more than some points. If one doesn't act according to one's true heart, that is the real influence."

His current state of mind was probably at the level of Clear the Heart and See the Nature. He understood very clearly what he wanted to do and what he could do.

"The other Myriad Gods Hall personnel will be dealt with specially by the Virtual Universe Company." News from the intelligence department arrived very quickly.

Zhou Lin returned to the spaceship and quietly awaited the evaluation of the first stage of the mission, as well as the release of the subsequent mission. His heart remained extremely calm.

It was not merely calm on the surface. Zhou Lin had truly not been affected in the slightest.

Slaughter?

The methods of the Myriad Gods Hall believers and higher-ups shown in those video recordings were countless times more brutal than his own.

Zhou Lin understood why some lofty experts gradually became heartless after living for too long, freezing their hearts and refusing to regard mortals as living beings equal to themselves.

But the people enslaved and slaughtered by these higher-ups and believers—were they fundamentally any different from them?

Moreover, even the lofty Universe Venerables, Universe Masters, and even the God Kings had not escaped the restraints of the Supreme Rule.

In the end, they would all die.

Three days later.

A mail arrived in the Virtual Universe.

"You have completed the first stage of the Highest Point Mission. After evaluation by the various members, Zhou Lin, your completion rate is ninety-five percent, allowing you to obtain 95,000 points."

Zhou Lin was somewhat stunned. He had not expected to receive such a high evaluation.

Evaluation: Although the mission did not require you to judge those believers, you still had the guards carry out a slaughter. However, after careful study, we discovered that you frequently reviewed the materials and were well aware of the Myriad Gods Hall's cruelty.

After Zhou Lin clicked to turn the page, he saw the subsequent evaluation.

"But you did not personally slaughter that many believers, and you acted calmly throughout the process rather than simply venting your anger. This shows that your true heart is clear and bright, which is worthy of praise."

"The only flaw is that, Zhou Lin, you clearly possessed enough strength to spar with Hai Yue, yet your personality was overly cautious, and you still chose to have the Immortal Spirit Aido take action. Therefore, you were not given the highest evaluation."

Zuo Ke, who looked like a young man, appeared. After looking at the letter, he shouted, "Wow, no way! Master, can being cautious really cost you points?"

"Whatever. It won't affect me anyway." Zhou Lin spoke indifferently.

What he did not know was that if his teacher had not been the legendary Palace Master Tianshi, this round's evaluation would have been at most eighty points.

The Universe Venerables were responsible for the evaluation. It was impossible for news of such a matter not to reach Palace Master Tianshi's ears, so they would naturally show him some consideration.

The subsequent handling of those personnel was handed over to King Wuxing. Zhou Lin personally followed up on it and discovered that King Wuxing handled the matter extremely seriously.

Everyone who had committed grave sins was sentenced to death.

The entire enormous group of Myriad Gods Hall believers and personnel was judged without exception.

The malignant tumor that had plagued the Luojin Universe Nation for many years was removed.

Now temporarily free, Zhou Lin began studying the newly obtained Realm God Secret Art, Myriad Tribulations Primordial Scripture.

This was an incredibly defiant secret art. Upon reaching the entry level, it could make the body incomparably tough, to the point that even the might of a peak God would find it difficult to injure him.

After cultivating it to the later stages, one could even shatter a world with a single breath.

Zhou Lin had yet to cultivate the Void Body. He first had to devote all his effort to studying the Void Realm True Meaning before attempting to reach the entry level.

"Without actual combat and without a famous master's guidance, my progress in this system is about the same as in the Primordial Universe System."

Zhou Lin sighed. As a First Grade True Meaning Transcendent, he was someone the Universe Masters would be moved to accept as a disciple. In the countless mortal worlds and the boundless Divine Realm, someone like him might appear only once in many years.

He had never expected his progress to be so slow.

The Primordial Universe System had Palace Master Tianshi, as well as King Fengyan and the others to guide him.

Fortunately, he was not too far from the Third Realm.
