Must Become Stronger

"It seems that if the God of Extreme Evil hadn't been so impatient and tried to rebel against the God of Destruction, perhaps, given the status the God of Extreme Evil held in the God of Destruction's heart, I would have been the one destroyed instead."

Thinking of this, the God of Evil trembled, once again prostrating himself on the ground.

"Lord Destruction, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse; I only beg you to spare this lowly one."

"It is good that you know."

The God of Destruction watched the God of Evil's proactive display of submission and flicked his sleeves.

"This old man is not the type to kill people for no reason. As long as you all attend to your duties well, there will be no shortage of benefits for you."

Tang San also received the news, hearing that the God of Extreme Evil had been directly executed by the God of Destruction.

He turned his gaze toward Lin Yi. "Do you think there is anything we should take away from this situation?"

"It seems the God of Destruction truly wants to turn everyone's will into his own."

Lin Yi looked at Tang San and smiled faintly.

"Third Brother, your guess is not wrong at all. The God of Destruction doesn't just want the entire God Realm in his hands; he hopes that the entire mortal world will obey his commands as well."

"Is he insane?"

Tang Wutong's face darkened as she clenched her fists.

"How can such a person exist? Does he think that by gathering everyone's will, he will become the strongest?"

"That is the God of Destruction."

Tang San narrowed his eyes again, rubbing his chin with his hand.

"He has always been a god who only considers himself. It is no surprise that he would have such thoughts today."

"Third Brother, you absolutely cannot let him successfully threaten everyone's lives like this."

Xiao Wu immediately walked to his side, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"For me, having a peaceful life is far better than days of conflict."

"Who could say otherwise?"

Tang San gripped Xiao Wu's hand firmly and smiled softly.

"Don't worry about this matter. With me here, I won't let him run wild. Although I don't have absolute certainty that I can defeat him, fighting with all our might is better than doing nothing at all."

"Third Brother, aren't you just boosting his morale while crushing your own?"

"No."

Tang San shook his head at Xiao Wu again.

"This isn't a lack of spirit. The God of Destruction is an ancient god; the power he possesses is definitely a hundred times greater than ours. Therefore, saying we can face him in a direct collision right now would be incorrect."

Xiao Wu pouted slightly.

"Then, according to you, there is no hope at all?"

"Isn't the hope right here?"

Lin Yi smiled confidently and patted his own shoulder. "My ninth soul skill hasn't even been developed yet. When I release it at the most critical moment, I will definitely win. Besides, I don't intend to release my eighth soul skill either."

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

Tang San was somewhat worried about this.

"The eighth soul skill is meant to serve as your support. If you keep it hidden, what will you do if you can't think of a way out during a crisis?"

"That situation won't happen."

Lin Yi smiled again. "After I fused these three martial souls together, I discovered that every one of my soul skills has surpassed my previous fourth soul skill. So, engaging in ten rounds of combat with the God of Destruction should be possible."

"Then do you need my help?"

Tang San swept his gaze over.

"If you need my assistance, I can step in."

"Third Brother, please don't interfere."

Lin Yi gave him a faint smile.

"That God of Destruction clearly looks down on the help you and Xiao Wu provide to humanity. Since that's the case, I will personally use my own strength to prove myself, and let that guy see that we humans can do very well even without the help of gods."

"We will also stay by your side."

Zhao Zhiying and Huang Ruolin immediately walked over, grabbing his arms from left and right.

"Don't even think about leaving us aside this time. We couldn't possibly stand by and watch you face danger."

"Stop it."

Regarding what the two of them said, Lin Yi only shook his head gently.

"This is not the time to be stubborn with me. You must understand that I am keeping you here not for any other reason, but to allow you to accumulate your strength."

"But it is too dangerous for you to handle it alone."

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong spoke up. "Having more people would be better, after all."

"Then I will trouble you, Seniors Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, to accompany me. As for Wutong and Yuhao, you two will stay with Third Brother and Xiao Wu to protect the others."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao were momentarily stunned. "Are you trying to cast us aside?"

"Not cast aside."

Lin Yi looked at them once more, his tone resolute.

"The god we are facing this time is too powerful; we must make foolproof preparations. If we all sacrifice ourselves, who will save this world? Therefore, Wutong and Yuhao, you two must protect the other gods so that we aren't left without a reserve force when the time comes."

"I agree with this arrangement as well."

Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded in unison. "Lin Yi, you have indeed grown rapidly during this time. Reaching the level of a Spirit King is considered a remarkable realm of cultivation within the God Realm."

"It's not enough."

Lin Yi's gaze darkened once more. "I will become even stronger!"
