I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This move, seemingly intended to have Wangshu monitor Xihe, was actually a way to use Xihe to restrain Wangshu.

Having a divine spark in hand doesn't guarantee absolute security for Lin Yi.

The best approach is to use people to control people.

After this ordeal, Xihe must hate Wangshu to the core. If she gets the chance, she will definitely give Wangshu a severe beating.

If Wang Shu were to betray him again, Xi He would probably be the first to report him.

Sending out two undercover agents to check and balance each other, cooperate and supervise one another, is a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

That's just right, it won't alarm the upper realm.

Their main task is to maintain stability in the war, avoiding a complete defeat at once, but also avoiding an overly aggressive offensive.

After Xihe agreed to go undercover, Lin Yi began to arrange the battle plan.

The strategy is to feed kills, but not too aggressively.

Take it slow and steady, gradually reduce the losses.

After that, he will also arrange for human forces to act in a confrontation between the two sides.

Upon hearing this, Xihe felt it was both absurd and terrifying.

What was initially thought to be a sweeping victory that would clean up the world turned out to be a situation where Lin Yi controlled the game while everyone else played along.

When she was asked to go undercover, all she thought about was surviving. Now that she's survived, she can't help but feel fear.

If the Great Celestial Venerable finds out what she did, will he really be able to forgive her?

Xihe was uncertain, but at this point, she had no choice.

After much deliberation, she came up with a very bold idea.

If... Lin Yi really can overthrow the Great Celestial Venerable's rule, wouldn't she be considered a meritorious official?

The idea was so audacious that she was shocked at herself for even daring to think of it.

That is the ruler of all the heavens and myriad worlds, how dare she even think about it?

Only after witnessing the immense divine power of the Great Celestial Venerable can one understand the vast difference between them.

Simply put, if a god of war is like a small puddle the size of a lotus leaf, then a god of her level is like a small pond.

That Great Celestial Venerable is the vast ocean.

Such a huge gap makes it impossible for anyone to even think about overthrowing the Great Celestial Venerable's rule.

But she actually fantasized just now...

Xihe shook her head, lamenting that she must have lost her mind.

From now on, just behave yourself and don't be too proactive. Show that you are being controlled so that the Great Celestial Venerable can forgive you in the future.

Before long, the plan was finalized, and it was time for Xihe and Wangshu to leave.

Lin Yi gave them a few drops of his essence blood, as if they had stolen it from him.

If someone investigates this later, they will be able to find this information.

By covering up big mistakes with small ones, they won't investigate further...

Chapter 584 Killing them one by one

No one could have imagined how outrageous this battle between the celestials and the human would be.

Both sides in the battle were Lin Yi's men.

Lin Yi lay in the pit, becoming a mastermind behind the scenes.

Knowing that Xihe had sent out scouts, Lin Yi certainly wouldn't let them go.

In particular, upon hearing that the Wind God and Rain God were both present, Lin Yi's smile was cruel.

However, in order to maintain the overall situation and avoid being discovered by the Great Celestial Venerable of the Upper Realm, Lin Yi did not directly use his clone to take action, but instead called on his friends.

The four deities each explored in a different direction. The Star Lord went to where he was supposed to go, while the Wind God and the Rain God came to find Xiao Yue.

They probably assumed Xiao Yue had the strength of a Star Lord, so a two-on-one fight was definitely a safe bet.

Little did they know, the biggest boss was hiding right here with Xiao Yue.

Although the clone's strength is less than half that of the original body, the clone can use all the authority that Lin Yi controls; it just doesn't have the corresponding divine artifact.

But these were enough to kill the Wind God and the Rain God.

Lin Yi didn't want to reveal his strength, so he urged Xiao Yue to make a move.

All he did was pinpoint the locations of the Wind and Rain Gods.

Xiao Yue's strength in a one-on-one fight is actually inferior to either of the two gods of wind and rain.

The Star God's strength lies in his authority and his ability to command starlight; in terms of magical combat, he is naturally no match for those renowned deities.

The Venerable Master Miaofa could never have imagined that the great gods he once thought had titles would be able to instantly kill everyone in the mortal realm.

As a result, even the most powerful and highly ranked players who descend to the mortal realm are destined to become mere underlings.

At this moment, the two gods of wind and rain felt a little uneasy.

Xiao Yue killed the Greedy Wolf Star Lord and took his place. There must be someone backing her up, but they have no idea who that person is.

This unknown fear made them extremely nervous. Although they were accompanied by two immortals, they felt that their group's mission was the most dangerous.

They are wrong about that.

In fact, every scout mission is very dangerous.

Of the three forces, Xiao Yue herself has become a Star Lord, and Lin Yi's clone is also in charge. To put it simply, if another Heavenly Emperor were to come, they could barely fight him to a draw.

Below the Heavenly Emperor, no one can influence anything.

However, the other two forces are not so easy to deal with either.

With Jiang Linglong in charge, Xiao Se's camp has Jiang Linglong as its general, Yan Qingqiu as its assistant, and Wu Yun, who has become a demon without realizing it.

Basically, it's a matter of whoever goes dies.

So it seems that only the west side is relatively safe.

However, standing here are the true guardians of humanity, who have been genuinely recognized, nurtured, and protected by the Heavenly Dao for a long time.

Besides the little grass, there's also the great serpent, the guardian of all ages, protecting them.

The Great Serpent was once a powerful figure who could dart around in front of the Great Celestial Venerable, but after losing his authority for hundreds of years, his strength is now only below that of the Seven Fairies.

Anyone who goes there without reaching that level will die.

Now, all three paths are dead ends.

The two feng shui gods were unaware of this and only felt that they were unlucky.

However, they had no choice but to obey the instructions given by the fairy Xihe, otherwise they would be punished by the heavenly rules.

The two deities dared not get too close to Xiao Yue, but they could still investigate her situation.

"The wind told me that the Star Lord of Greed, Xiao Yue, is highly respected. On the battlefield, she is like a wolf king, able to unite the strength of her clan. Outside the battlefield, she is considerate of her soldiers, cares for the people, and is fair in rewarding and punishing them."

"Look at the Greedy Wolf Star bathed in purple light; it may indicate the potential to become an emperor."

As Fengshen spoke, a hint of unease crept in.

If it were any other time, it would be one thing to have the appearance of an emperor.

But now, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor is dead, and a new Ziwei Heavenly Emperor has not yet been born. If the Ziwei Star chooses a new Star Lord in the human world, it means that the human world will not only have one more Star Lord, but also one more Heavenly Emperor.

"We must go back and report to His Highness Xihe. This woman must not be allowed to live."

Of the three factions, Xiao Yue is the most popular.

Liu Jian, as a regional warlord, certainly wielded considerable power, but in terms of popular support, he was far inferior to Xiao Yue.

And Xiao Se is even more so.

She didn't actually do anything special; she just focused on cultivating her skills and getting stronger every day.

However, she handed over power to Yan Qingqiu, who then carried out a series of important actions that greatly enhanced the country's strength. But Xiao Se's reputation had already deteriorated to an all-time low.

Comparing the three, Xiao Yue is indeed the most promising, even though she is a woman.

The Rain God also thought the Wind God's suggestion made sense, but he hesitated and said, "His Highness's order is for us to find out who is behind Xiao Yue. We haven't found any clues. If we go back rashly, we may be punished."

Regarding Xiao Yue, all they found out was what everyone already knew: a princess in distress rose up to fight back and created a legend in less than two years.

Can she really do it all by herself?

Behind all this, it seemed as if an invisible hand was driving everything, which made the two immortals shudder with fear.

“I suggest I go back and inform His Highness. You are skilled in concealment, so you can stay here and observe for a while longer. Don’t worry, I will be back soon.”

The wind god gave the rain god some advice.

Xiao Yue likely has a powerful figure behind her, whose strength must be terrifying. At this moment, only Xi He can stand against her.

One person went back to request support, while the other stayed behind; there's nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Anyway, given their capabilities, the round trip is actually quite quick.

The reason they had to travel back and forth was because they were worried that their messages would be intercepted by the Heavenly Dao of this realm.

In the battle between immortals and mortals, this is, after all, the mortal realm's home ground, so we must be wary of the Heavenly Way within the mortal realm.

For deities at this level, whether or not they use methods of communication makes little difference.

Anyway, I was back in a flash.

The Rain God didn't think much of it and felt that the Wind God's arrangement was perfectly reasonable.

They're just hiding for a while; surely they wouldn't be killed in such a short time?

However, they were unaware that Lin Yi had been watching them for a long time but had not yet made a move. He was only giving them a "crisis oversight" buff.

And you know what? The methods of the underworld gods are really useful. Don't be fooled by their relatively weak combat abilities compared to the gods and immortals of the heavens. When they hide away and act as the sixth in command, every single one of their abilities is incredibly useful.

This oversight of the crisis silently blinded the two deities to its danger.
