I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Getting back to the main point, on this day, Lin Yi was as engrossed in government affairs as usual. As long as he was busy enough, he wouldn't think about things he shouldn't be thinking about.

It's just a breakup, right?

It's nothing special!

However, after finishing his work, he still felt a sense of emptiness inside.

Feeling lost and dejected, he found himself standing by the small lake in the palace. Gazing at the calm surface of the lake, his thoughts drifted away.

At that moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface...

Chapter 636 Sword Forging

Lin Yi was highly skilled and daring, and he was not alarmed at all when he saw the strange vortex that suddenly appeared.

He waited patiently for the monster to appear from beneath the vortex; after all, he was a king, protected by the nation's destiny.

It can be said that those who can beat him in a one-on-one fight wouldn't dare to attack him, and those who can't beat him in a one-on-one fight naturally have nothing to fear.

However, Lin Yi was still quite shocked when the giant snake surfaced from the water.

What a huge snake!

How did she manage to get into this lake?

Looking at the other party's cultivation level, wow, a million years of cultivation?

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Could there really be such a powerful monster in the human world?

Of course, Lin Yi didn't feel much fear.

Such a powerful demon cannot be compared to those fierce and cruel but not very intelligent little demons.

A great demon with such cultivation is no different from a saint.

The other party must have a purpose in appearing here.

It's unlikely that they came here to forage because they were hungry.

The man and the snake calmly locked eyes, both scrutinizing each other.

Lin Yi figured the giant snake had come to find him, so he had to wait for the snake to speak first.

The giant snake, however, thought that it had struck a magnificent pose, which should have given Lin Yi enough shock. It would be reasonable for Lin Yi to speak next.

If we startle Lin Yi, it will be a good opportunity to take action and test the mettle of this generation of guardians.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yi remained completely calm and simply looked at her indifferently.

Both sides waited for the other to speak, creating an awkward silence.

In the end, the snake was not as thick-skinned as Lin Yi; she thought that her entrance was originally quite cool.

But Lin Yi didn't react. If she didn't say anything, she would look stupid.

"Young man, you are special."

This is clearly a compliment.

Seeing that she had spoken, Lin Yi, not knowing her purpose, replied very seriously, "Thank you for your praise, senior. May I ask what brings you here?"

Lin Yi noticed that the guards nearby were not paying attention to this place, so Lin Yi did not speak to the giant snake as the king.

As a cultivator, it is perfectly reasonable to address someone whose cultivation far surpasses one's own as a senior.

"Do you know that you're about to face a terrible disaster?"

The giant snake didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

She knew that her words might be hard for people to believe, so she had prepared her explanation to persuade Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi replied decisively, "I believe you. Senior, are you here to tell me how to break this?"

Orochi: "..."

Although her goal was indeed to make Lin Yi believe her, skipping this process felt wrong.

Lin Yi certainly believed that life wouldn't be too smooth for him after becoming the king.

If there were no gods, it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Yi to change history.

King Wu's conquest of King Zhou?

Ha, with the gunpowder he has, facing King Wu's army, that's not even a war, that's a dimensional reduction attack.

How do they fight when firearms are used against cold weapons?

But this is a world where gods exist.

There are all sorts of gods and immortals in the heavens, and there are also gods and immortals on earth.

This is why Lin Yi did not devote too much energy to developing firearms.

No matter how powerful firearms are, they are still no match for one's own cultivation.

To avoid trouble, Lin Yi was very low-key and cautious when he was the king.

But since the great serpent, a monster with a million years of cultivation, had appeared before him and told him that disaster was imminent, Lin Yi had no reason not to believe it.

He even followed up on the topic by asking about the solution.

Isn't this the usual routine?

If there was just a problem, why would the giant snake come looking for him?

Now that we've shown ourselves, we should definitely help him.

This inference is quite reasonable, isn't it?

Lin Yi's overly cooperative attitude left the giant snake momentarily at a loss.

According to the procedure, she should fight Lin Yi first, and she is sure she won't lose that fight.

As a result, Lin Yi did not make a move.

Next, she should explain the source of the crisis to Lin Yi and steer the conversation toward the struggle for destiny between immortals and mortals.

As a result, Lin Yi didn't even ask about the dangers; he went straight to asking for solutions.

Well, all my prepared remarks are useless now.

The giant snake was momentarily stunned, but still decided to follow the procedure.

To find a solution, we need to first identify where the crisis lies before we can figure out how to resolve it, right?

"Your danger stems from your destiny, and also from fate."

The giant snake pointed its tail to the sky, but Lin Yi did not interact with it; he simply watched the snake quietly.

You speak, and I'm listening.

Orochi: "..."

There was absolutely no passion involved.

She was like a tool, conveying the latest information to Lin Yi.

The main theme is the war between immortals and mortals, which is essentially a struggle for destiny under the calamity of death.

The struggle for destiny is the surface, while avoiding calamity is the underlying issue.

Lin Yi was the one destined to face this calamity, and also the savior chosen by Heaven for this lifetime.

Logically speaking, Heaven should not choose someone destined for tribulation to be the guardian, because he himself is in the midst of tribulation and has great karmic entanglements. How could he have the energy to do other things?

But since Heaven had already chosen Lin Yi, the giant snake had no choice but to comply.

She was merely a chosen agent and had no right to change the decision of Heaven.

Lin Yi is the Shang king of this generation, and the Shang Dynasty is destined to perish under his rule.

This is the trend of fate.

His adversaries, namely the Immortal Realm, will certainly take advantage of this.

The way of the immortals is to avoid playing a losing game.

All they need to do is stand on the right side, calling it "acting on behalf of Heaven," but in reality, it should be called "profiting from the chaos."

But this move is indeed powerful.

This means that Lin Yi needs to fight against both the trends of fate and the immortal realm.

If it were just one enemy, Lin Yi would still have a chance, but if both of them came at him, it would indeed be too difficult.

The reason why the celestial realm failed in Yu the Great's flood control efforts was because he did not rely on the power of the human world and fate.

It can be said that the human world's confrontation with the immortal realm is not a losing proposition; on the contrary, the human world has a significant advantage.

Because the Heavenly Way is on the side of humanity.

But the immortal realm isn't stupid; their plans can change.

The Heavenly Dao was aware of this, which is why it sent the giant snake to communicate with Lin Yi in advance.

At this time, the calamities of war in the human world were just beginning to show signs of emerging.

In the past, Orochi would only have a leader appear to assist humans when the battle officially began.

However, to the snake's surprise, Lin Yi was not surprised at all.

He was so calm.

It was as if he had been mentally prepared all along.

The giant snake was right about that.

When Lin Yi became the king, he had already thought about what he might have to face.

After all, he's a man who's read the script.

Although the dramas he watched may not be the same as the current events, and stories are often distorted to some extent during their transmission, this is normal.

However, the main storyline should be fine.
