Ch. 405All Forces Mobilize, Battle on the Brink

Taika Sha and the other leaders planned to concentrate the Pan-Spirit Alliance's forces to escort Lin Yi home and prepare for a decisive battle, while leaving a decoy at the Evacuation Point. After Lin Yi detected a suspected Void Detection Worm, the escort rendezvoused with him, and Yan Long warned that an enemy interception force could arrive within one or two standard years.

  • Taika Sha warned that the Yuan and Shi Races might track Lin Yi and ambush the force sent to meet him, so the leaders agreed to send their main strength under cover of a decoy.
  • Lin Yi studied Yan Long's warning, agreed to the plan, and resolved to keep the Heart of the Abyss hidden until a decisive battle.
  • The Evacuation Point mobilized its squads, organizing an overt advance team, a concealed main force, and a rear guard to maintain the decoy.

Ch. 406One Punch!

Beifei learned that Lin Yi had reached Superior Deity strength as the Pan-Spirit Alliance gathered to meet the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces. Lin Yi ended the enemy’s confidence with a single Source Treasure punch that killed Aomaba, the allied leaders, and nearly four hundred Higher Deities, leaving both armies stunned.

Lin Yi used the Heart of the Abyss to devastate the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces, turning the battle into a rout and helping the Pan-Spirit Alliance secure victory. After arranging a new team for his departing teammates, he remained on the 45th Floor to collect spoils while news of the battle stirred the Main Universe.

  • Lin Yi struck the enemy formation with his Source Treasure, killing the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces leader and hundreds of deities, then teleported into the breach and defeated nearly two hundred more with his azure domain.

Lord Tianhe, Lord Xuanyan, and Lord Tiange reported Lin Yi’s use of a Prototype Source Treasure to Dominator Hengshi, who decided to support him rather than investigate its origins. Dominator Hengshi arranged two Fearless War Gods for Lin Yi, and Xuanyan planned their delivery to the 47th Floor while Tianhe added his Qingcang Ship; Tiange was left wondering why Xuanyan was looking at him.

  • Lord Tianhe showed Lord Xuanyan and Lord Tiange Adeline’s recording of Lin Yi using a Prototype Source Treasure to cripple the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces, and the three worried another race might have supplied it.

Ch. 411All Eyes on Him, Lavish Spending

Lin Yi spent his 189.1 billion Beginning Universe Tower Points on Law-comprehension resources, Source Energy supplies, and 298,000 Low-Tier Source Essence Crystals before using the Jump Floor Rule to reach the 47th Floor.
