Chapter 1317 Clues to Resurrection

This request doesn't sound unreasonable at all.

After witnessing the Celestial King's purge of his forces, all the gods became worried, fearing that they too might one day be purged. Therefore, they sought a new and wise ruler.

Offering Lin Yi as their master in exchange for survival sounds much more reasonable.

If they hadn't had much contact, Lin Yi might have believed it.

But during his brief conversation with Zeus, he realized that this guy was no pushover and would definitely dig a big pit for him to fall into.

The pit isn't showing up yet, but Lin Yi is certain it exists.

Judging from his strategic planning, it's easy to see that he's definitely not someone to be trifled with, much less someone who's willing to be subservient to others.

After saying this, Zeus bowed deeply to Lin Yi.

The other Olympian gods did the same, bowing and saying the same words.

"Lord Lin Yi, I don't know how I can help you. My current strength is definitely not on the same level as yours. To ensure a smooth journey for you, I plan to transfer my natal artifact to you."

Having said that, Zeus had a thought, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared over the entire Olympian temple.

A thick, silver bolt of lightning struck with lightning speed and then appeared in Zeus's hand.

It was a crystal-clear, lightning-shaped weapon.

Above it, one could vaguely see lightning moving about.

"This weapon is called Thunder Punishment. It is my natal artifact. It can be elementalized and can transform into any form. It can also elementalize the user's body. If you encounter any danger, Lord Lin Yi, after you use it to elementalize your body, your chances of escape will greatly increase."

Hopefully, this will help you when you encounter trouble.

Holy crap?! That can't be right.

Zeus's actions clearly took all the Olympian gods by surprise.

No one expected that he would take out his prized natal artifact and give it directly to Lin Yi.

It's important to know that Zeus's rise to his current position is largely due to his signature divine weapon, the Thunder God.

Now, Zeus presented Lin Yi with the thunderbolt, a scene that left the other Olympian gods utterly dumbfounded.

Everyone wondered if Zeus had gone mad.

Once this thing is sent out, its dominant position on the planet Olympus might be shaken.

Although the discussions were chaotic, Lin Yi still managed to hear clearly what the Olympian gods were saying.

The gist of it is that Zeus's act of cutting off his own arm was a desperate gamble.

As for Zeus, his face, etched with the marks of time, was filled with peace and resignation.

“Lord Lin Yi, you don’t need to take their words to heart. You should know better than anyone else that what we are doing can only succeed and cannot fail. Once we fail, everyone will be doomed.”

Zeus's words were righteous and awe-inspiring.

Even Lin Yi almost believed his nonsense.

Now, both sides need each other, so Lin Yi can only pretend not to know and continue following Zeus's instructions.

"Isn't this a bit too precious for you to give me? This is your most precious artifact. What will you do if you give it to me?" Lin Yi said this with a sincere expression.

Even Lin Yi felt that his acting skills at this moment were simply divine.

Why do I say that?

Lin Yi has already suffered greatly regarding the matter of his natal artifact.

Isn't the Fuxi Talisman a perfect example?

No matter what, as long as the original owner of a weapon is still alive, the weapon always belongs to that owner. Zeus saying he would bestow his lightning punishment upon Lin Yi—that's impossible.

Unless Zeus dies, no matter what, he's just borrowing Lin Yi for a while.

“We’re all in the same boat. There’s no point in worrying about these things now. As long as this weapon can help you, that’s more important than anything else. So don’t refuse it.”

Lin Yi didn't expose it. He knew very well that there was something fishy going on, but he couldn't figure out what it was yet. So, Lin Yi pretended to be touched and accepted the lightning punishment.

The moment Lin Yi got his hands on it, he noticed something amiss.

This isn't a gift of weapons; it's clearly an attempt to find a way to control Lin Yi.

The moment Lei Fa made his move, he began to release an extremely weak electric current.

This weak electric current contains toxins.

Lin Yi called it Thunder Poison.

A tiny amount of thunder poison would not have any effect on Lin Yi, and it would not attract his attention during the transmission.

It seems Zeus intended to use this method to get Lin Yi to work for him.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi is immune to all adverse conditions.

Zeus was unaware of this.

"Thank you very much."

That's how the image was organized.

In the eyes of the Olympian gods, Zeus's image suddenly became much larger.

A leader who is willing to give up even his most powerful weapon for the sake of achieving great things—following him, great things are bound to be accomplished.

Lin Yi knew that the artifacts possessed consciousness to some extent.

Although Lei Fa cannot speak, he can certainly establish a connection with his master and communicate his thoughts.

To prevent his own affairs from being known, Lin Yi locked Lei Fa inside his personal space.

After returning to his residence, Wuzhiqi emerged from Lin Yi's body.

At this moment, he is in a miniature state.

The reason I came out was to have a proper talk with Lin Yi.

"Do you have a concrete plan yet?"

Defeating the Celestial King is no easy task.

Lin Yi nodded.

"I feel that I cannot do this on my own, so I plan to revive you two before the final battle begins."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the Great Sage's martial spirit appeared in front of him in a miniature form.

"Resurrection? How can you resurrect? Are you kidding us? As your martial soul, we've witnessed your growth. How could we not know when you mastered the resurrection skill?"

Wuzhiqi shared the same thought.

Both of them had clearly seen what kind of situation Lin Yi had gone through along the way.

If they truly possessed the ability to resurrect, the two of them should know it.

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to explain.

Instead, the conversation turned to the topic of going to find Qin Zhu this time.

"Why did I go to see Qin Zhu, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, this time?"

The Great Sage asked in confusion.

"Isn't it to combine that guy's abilities with Hades' to unlock a more powerful control over the undead, and thus find the location of the Supreme Immortal Lord?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Great Sage, does your control over the dead include resurrection?" "Right now, I certainly can't do that, but what if I combined the abilities of Hades and Qin Zhu?"

"Among those in the Three Realms and Six Paths who possess this ability, there are only these two. Together, they represent the pinnacle of control over the undead. Do you think it's possible for me to master the ability of resurrection?"
