Chapter 1169 Dear Priest

With a snap of his fingers, the Divine River Song on his shoulder transformed into a giant eagle, and Lin Yi lightly leaped onto its shoulder.

"Let's go. We can't go too fast. We can't finish everything in one go while that guy goes in, or we'll make things worse."

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the back of the Divine River Song, heading from the Celestial Path of the Colorless Realm towards the lower plane.

The identity of the High Priest is indeed useful. When passing through any checkpoint, not only will he not be questioned, but the gatekeepers will also have to bow to Lin Yi politely.

This is the status of the Immortal King's representative in the divine realm.

The problems with the Dark Rising Organization were perfectly resolved in the first year after Lin Yi joined the forces of the Gods:
Of the seven heroes, only the divination monster managed to escape; the rest were all killed by the forces of the gods.

Even with a robust information system, the Dark Rising Organization was completely unable to assemble its forces. The other forces that resisted the rule of the gods wisely gave up their resistance and abandoned those unrealistic ideas.

Starting in the second year after Lin Yi joined, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the structure, patterns, and power dynamics) of the Three Realms and Six Paths perfectly illustrated that saying:

Once people see the glory of your success, they will forget the darkness of your methods.

History is written by the victors. Even if all beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths know that the gods' self-proclaimed justice is nothing but a grand but empty slogan, not a single blind person will stand up and speak ill of the gods.

Lin Yi's betrayal of the Dark Xing organization will only be praised as a wise man who knows when to yield and for making the right choice.

For the next eight years, Lin Yi did one thing.

That is to settle scores with the various gods who betrayed the Immortal King.

Initially, Lin Yi's strength was relatively weak, so he could only use his title of High Priest to take action against those who were weaker and held lower positions within the faction, in order to vent his anger on them.

The factions that were being purged, thinking that they should back down for the sake of the Immortal King, tacitly accepted Lin Yi's actions.

But as time went on, they discovered that Lin Yi's strength was growing stronger and stronger, and the factions and people he was eliminating were becoming increasingly powerful.

At this point, it's too late to take a tough stance.

Busy with these things, Lin Yi's strength improved rapidly. For the next eight years, Lin Yi loved doing this, which also meant that Lin Yi almost never left the Formless Realm. He was responsible for guarding the border between the Hell Path of the Formless Realm and the Heavenly Human Path of the Desire Realm, and he was almost never seen by the guards.

Seeing Lin Yi again after so many years gave the guards a feeling of being in another world.

Over the past ten years, Lin Yi has hardly changed.

Time has left no trace on his face; Lin Yi is still as young and handsome as ever.

If we have to point out the differences, there are quite a few.

Judging from his appearance alone, Lin Yi has changed somewhat.

Over the years, his clothing has become much simpler. It's not that his clothes aren't high-end enough, but rather that the colors of his clothes have become increasingly monotonous.

Secondly, there's Lin Yi's aura.

Over the course of several years, Lin Yi's divine power level and comprehension of the Primordial Realm have made rapid progress.

However, Lin Yi's aura was much more restrained compared to when he first arrived in this God Realm.

To put it simply, the divine soldiers responsible for guarding the border couldn't even sense any fluctuations of divine power, primordial energy, or even source energy from Lin Yi.

The black eagle flapped its wings in the sky. Just before reaching the checkpoint, the black eagle turned into clumps of grayish-black liquid and entered Lin Yi's body.

Then, Lin Yi's figure was seen slowly descending.

"Greetings, High Priest." The guards at the border between the two realms are extremely strict.

Connecting the two worlds is a wide, white passageway.

After joining the ranks of the gods, Lin Yi realized that this white passage was no ordinary place.

Upon entering this place, you will undergo special testing. Unless you have a very sophisticated disguise, your identity will be detected within a short period of time.

Secondly, there are many special turrets hidden on both sides of the passage.

This turret is no ordinary turret; it is made of a special material that is immune to all kinds of forces.

Being immune to divine power means that ordinary methods cannot withstand it; one can only rely on one's own strength to resist it.

Trying to force your way through here would be an extremely challenging task.

Even top-tier experts with divine power reaching level A are not confident of escaping unscathed.

The guards glanced at Lin Yi and felt that he was completely different from how he was a few years ago.

His calm and composed demeanor made it impossible to discern any of his thoughts.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, giving off an approachable vibe, and casually took out a few low-grade Origin Energy Pills from his personal space and handed them to the guards.

Lin Yi is now a high-ranking priest, and his status is quite prominent in the entire pantheon of gods. It is no exaggeration to say that there are very few people in the entire divine realm who can show disrespect to Lin Yi.

Nevertheless, he has always maintained the same low profile he had when he first joined the God Realm.

When dealing with people, I always try my best to offer some benefits.

The gods, who initially didn't want to be labeled as forming cliques, would be quite disgusted by Lin Yi's actions and would try to keep their distance from him.

As time went on, everyone realized that Lin Yi had almost no ulterior motives, so they simply stopped caring.

They obediently accepted Lin Yi's small favors.

Low-level Source Energy Pills are practically worthless to high-level gods, but to the divine soldiers guarding them, they are priceless treasures.

Upon seeing what Lin Yi had taken out, the guards' eyes lit up, and they were so excited that they forgot themselves.

"Lord Lin Yi, what brings you here?"

Using his gravity manipulation skill, he gently handed the item to the guard squad leader. The weight of the few Source Energy Pills was negligible, but the guard squad leader's hand still trembled when he held the concentrated Source Energy.

"At my level, I no longer need this. This was given to me by my superiors. I hadn't thought of using it before. It would be a waste for me to keep it like this. Since you all call me 'sir,' I'll give it to you. There isn't much of it, so please don't mind."

Disdain? They have no right to disdain.

As a divine weapon, serving the gods for a year, isn't it all for a few small amounts of Source Energy Pills?

Lin Yi gave them several for free, so they had no right to complain.

Words of gratitude poured in.

Lin Yi wasted no time. After handing over the items, he lightly leaped upwards, and the Divine River Song within his body reappeared, transforming into a large eagle that carried Lin Yi and flew swiftly towards the direction of the Desire Realm Heavenly Human Path.

Watching Lin Yi's disappearing figure, the guards felt incredibly grateful.
