#619 - Helpless Relief and Opportunity for Improvement

The moment the effect of 【Reincarnation's Disdain】 was activated, the Sheep-headed God's defeat was already sealed.

Lin Yi stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by the blessing of the Blue Star's will, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth.

His gaze was stern, and the Primordial Laws in his hand condensed into invisible chains, instantly entangling the Sheep-headed God's body. Not only its ability to move, but even the power of the laws within the Sheep-headed God's body was completely stripped away at this moment.

A second of hard control might be insignificant to ordinary professionals, but for a top powerhouse like Lin Yi, it was enough to turn the tide of battle.

What's more, the Sheep-headed God's protective laws also disappeared without a trace at this instant.

Under the effect of 【Reincarnation's Sight】, Lin Yi saw through the Sheep-headed God's weakness.

It was a golden speck hidden deep within its heart, like a beating heart, yet so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow.

Lin Yi didn't hesitate, quickly condensing the Primordial Laws far beyond the level of Harmony into a visible, bone-piercing spike, and fiercely stabbed it into the Sheep-headed God's body.

"Puchi—"

The moment the spike entered its body, the Sheep-headed God trembled violently, and the fervent desire for battle and the pride as a god in its eyes gradually dimmed.

At the same time, the divine power bestowed by Zachs was mobilized by Lin Yi, transforming into a golden python, entwining the Sheep-headed God's body.

Golden runes spread across its skin, eventually forming seals, completely locking away its divine power.

The moment the Sheep-headed God regained control of its body, the battle could no longer be reversed.

It didn't act hysterically, nor did it roar in unwillingness, but simply met Lin Yi's gaze with a calm expression.

In those deep eyes, there was a sense of resignation to fate and a faint weariness.

"No wonder even Lord Calamity was defeated by you," the Sheep-headed God slowly spoke, its voice low and hoarse, "The trump cards in your hand are probably more than just these, right?"

Lin Yi didn't answer, but simply looked at it quietly.

The power of the laws within the Sheep-headed God's body had been completely restricted, and even if Lin Yi left it alone, it wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble in ten days or half a month.

Now that victory was in hand, it wouldn't hurt to listen to it for a few words.

Seeing Lin Yi's silence, the Sheep-headed God smiled bitterly for a moment, then plopped down on the ground.

Its movements seemed somewhat clumsy, like an old man in his twilight years, completely lacking the superior demeanor of a god it had before.

"Actually, there aren't many trump cards left," Lin Yi finally spoke, his tone calm, "The previous time I was able to force back Calamity was purely due to good luck."

Hearing this, the Sheep-headed God shook its head helplessly.

"Perhaps. If I had persisted a little longer, been a little more serious, maybe I wouldn't have lost."

As it spoke, it stretched out its sheep's hoof, took out a pale golden and crystal-clear crystal from its chest, and handed it to Lin Yi.

"This is the material you need, 【Heart of the Earth】. Also, this is my life's work."

Before the words were finished, a faint golden light began to appear on the Sheep-headed God's body. The light, like flowing water, slowly peeled away from its body, gathering strand by strand in front of its chest, eventually condensing into a pill bathed in a dim golden light.

Lin Yi's gaze narrowed slightly.

Even without the Sheep-headed God's explanation, he could see the preciousness of this pill.

This was a pill condensed by a god's envoy with a lifetime of divine power. Once swallowed, it could at least acquire fifty to sixty percent of the condensing god's envoy's power. For Lin Yi, this was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

"Are you asking me to let you go?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.

The Sheep-headed God shook its head, the smile on its face appearing particularly calm.

"Having lost my divine power, I am already at the end of my rope. Without the restraint of divine power, the Primordial power within my body will burst me apart. You know this better than I do."

Lin Yi was silent.

Through 【Reincarnation's Sight】, he had already seen through the Sheep-headed God's state. The Sheep-headed God's words were indeed not half-hearted.

"That's not my intention," the Sheep-headed God continued, its tone surprisingly calm.

"I just want to help you. I'm already tired of this inhumane Three Realms and Six Paths. Maybe one day, you can really break the rules set by the gods and let us ants at the bottom choose the meaning of living."

Lin Yi couldn't understand. Had a single battle defeat made this god's envoy so frustrated?

Even more, he hadn't dared to imagine that the god who had been clamoring for his life a few minutes ago would say such things.

"Why do you want to help me?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice, his tone full of doubt.

The Sheep-headed God smiled, the smile containing a bit of bitterness and helplessness. "I have lived for too long and witnessed too many rules and restrictions. The struggle between gods and the struggle between mortals are just an endless cycle. I once thought that power was everything, and as long as you had enough power, you could control your own destiny. However, I was wrong."

Its voice gradually lowered, as if recalling a long past.

"Power cannot bring true freedom. On the contrary, it will only trap people in deeper shackles. I am tired of all this, tired of living being dominated by rules. And you, Lin Yi, you may have the chance to break all this."

Lin Yi didn't reply, but reached out and took the 【Heart of the Earth】 and the Divine Power Pill.

The moment he touched the Divine Power Pill, he felt a warm force, as if countless tiny specks of light were dancing in his palm. That was the essence of the Sheep-headed God's life's power, condensed into a single pill.

"Thanks."

Such an explanation was indeed a bit far-fetched, but at least it was acceptable, and this pill was indeed of great significance to Lin Yi today.

The moment the Divine Power Pill left its hand, the Sheep-headed God's body began to gradually become transparent, as if it would dissipate into the air at any moment.

A bad feeling suddenly surged into Lin Yi's heart.

As dogs who act on behalf of the gods, the god's envoys are always observing the situation of the heavens and the myriad realms.

Figuring out the layout of Great Xia, how many people there are in Lin Yi's family, and what can be used to threaten Lin Yi, it shouldn't be difficult.

Although the overall strength of Blue Star has been greatly improved, and it has become much easier to deal with foreign enemies than before, it is almost impossible to fight against god's envoys with the strength of ordinary War Gods.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't dare to delay for even half a second, and immediately escaped from the 【Ancient Barren Ridge】 instance.

"Junior, you scared me to death!"

Just as he stepped out of the instance, a soft, fragrant embrace enveloped him.

The sound of sobbing was so heart-wrenching that even Lin Yi felt a little embarrassed.
