Chapter 12546
Back at the headquarters of the Termination Society, Lin Yi gave Lü Bukui some instructions and then entered seclusion mode.
Having acquired the three secret techniques of Dharma Form, I must practice them as soon as possible to develop them into combat power.
With the quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Image just around the corner, no one knows when the final battle will break out.
Before that, if we can improve our combat strength a little more, we'll have more trump cards to play later.
Meanwhile, a group of powerful figures from prominent families returned to their respective clans.
The Genting Resort incident spread rapidly.
The news caused an uproar throughout Tianjun.
From the highest heavens to the lowest peddlers, everyone was spreading the word.
There's no other reason than that this incident was simply too horrifying!
Not to mention the entire history of Tianjun, at least in the last hundred years, there has never been such a heinous incident!
For a time, doubts arose from all sides regarding the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, especially about Emperor Saint himself.
Emperor Sheng was subsequently thrust into the spotlight.
However, strangely enough, Emperor Sheng himself did not come forward to clarify.
With so many prominent family figures speaking with one voice, most people see no room for argument.
But for these truly powerful figures, public opinion has always been nothing more than a tool that can be manipulated at will.
Even black can be described as white.
Moreover, although Emperor Saint made a move this time, he did not personally descend upon the scene.
If one insists on making excuses, it's not impossible to find a way to do so and come up with a reason that will convince most people.
However, Emperor Sheng did not.
In such situations, silence itself is a form of expression.
Silence is the default.
However, given Emperor Sheng's prestige over the years, public opinion did not become one-sided as a result.
Many supporters immediately stood up to show their support.
In their view, all of this was a deliberate smear campaign against Emperor Sheng by a group of people with ulterior motives.
As for the motivation.
It is common knowledge that the Tianjun family has reached this point because of various internal cracks.
In any interest group, for every person who gets the meat, there's someone who gets the soup.
As time goes on, some people eventually won't even get to drink the soup.
These people naturally had to stand up and rebel.
These powerful families who are now openly denouncing Emperor Sheng are, in their eyes, just a bunch of worthless people who can't even get a share of the spoils!
Only by overthrowing the existing order can these powerful families have a chance to get back some benefits, or even some meat.
To smear the Emperor Saint is the first step in overthrowing the current order!
For the common people, no matter who rules the order, they will never have the chance to enjoy the good life.
On the contrary, if the order is disrupted, they will become the biggest victims.
Once this argument spread, it immediately gained a large following.
As a result, the entire Tianjun County was plunged into a state of extreme division.
One side supports the End Society, while the other side upholds the Emperor Saint. The two factions are clearly distinct, and they attack each other openly and covertly.
Judging from their sheer numbers, they are evenly matched.
This is an unprecedented scene in the history of Tianjun.
Even the most oblivious person finally began to realize the signal.
The world is about to change in Tianjun.
However, it is worth noting that from beginning to end, not only did Emperor Sheng himself remain silent, but the other four aristocratic families also did not speak out.
Even the official Tiangong authorities have remained silent on the matter.
This eerie calm did not bring any sense of peace.
On the contrary, it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that this is the harbinger of an impending storm.
However, Lin Yi, one of the parties involved who was at the center of the storm, did not pay much attention to all of this.
Ultimately, while creating momentum in the public sphere is important, it is not the only factor.
But ultimately, the real winner will be decided by force.
No matter how great our momentum is now, it's all for nothing if we can't win the final battle.
Public opinion can reverse in a matter of minutes.
Public opinion has always been about whoever wins and who they side with; this has been true since ancient times.
Three days later, Lin Yi had a sudden thought and stepped out of the New World.
"The announcement for the arrival of the racetrack has been released."
Lu Bukui rushed over to report.
Lin Yi glanced at it; the timing was perfect.
He had just finished cultivating the three Dharma Body Secret Techniques when a new track appeared.
To say that this was purely a coincidence would be an overstatement.
After reading the announcement of the track's arrival, Lin Yi's expression became increasingly strange.
Each time the track is opened, there are different rules.
This time is no exception.
Lin Yi was not surprised at all by this.
What struck him as odd was the track reward offered this time.
Besides the standard fragments of divine essence, it was actually a divine equipment accessory!
This is intriguing.
The "divine equipment pendant" is not actually divine equipment.
It doesn't have any of the additional effects of divine equipment, but its value far exceeds that of ordinary basic divine equipment.
Because it has only one effect: to be used for crafting divine equipment.
A divine equipment accessory can unconditionally replace any kind of divine equipment crafting material.
In other words, as long as he can get this divine equipment accessory, even without the Paving Claw, Lin Yi can immediately synthesize the Phoenix Cry Blade!
Anyone in that situation would be incredibly excited.
Lin Yi was no exception.
Aside from that, Lin Yi couldn't help but become increasingly curious about this fellow townsman from the secular world.
Through this so-called "coincidence," Lin Yi could directly conclude that his fellow townsman from the mortal world, who was at the level of a main god, had not perished; to be precise, he had not completely perished.
Not only that, he was also quietly watching over me from behind the scenes.
Every track award he had previously received was largely earned through Lin Yi's own efforts.
However, the special care from this fellow countryman in the secular world is also an absolutely undeniable reason.
While excited, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel wary.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if they are fellow villagers in the secular world, they won't give you any benefits for nothing.
In the most extreme case, all the rewards we've received so far may actually be bait, designed to lure us into a trap step by step!
Of course, there is another possibility.
The reason for giving gifts is simply because the other party has a request and needs me to do something for them.
In either case, one thing is certain: these benefits are definitely not free.
If it were someone else, they might have hesitated at this point.
After all, the other party is a being at the level of a supreme god.
Whether out of goodwill or malice, anyone with such meager strength who gets involved will be doomed in no time.
However, Lin Yi felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was inexplicably excited!
He probably didn't even realize that he was essentially a daring gambler.
However, the petty gains he usually receives are not enough to tempt him to take action.
In short, fortune favors the bold.
