Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

The difference of just one day—the fact that the Bountiful Alliance was almost fully assembled versus not fully assembled—is, on a galactic scale, a difference that is immense.

Each less jump means the battlefield expands many times over.

People aren't stupid anymore; they certainly won't keep rushing to join the crowd.

Lin Yi roughly considered the battlefield situation and realized that there was still time to seize the opportunity... He would first visit Yi Ting, then return to eat, sleep, and conquer Feng Rao.

With so many threats, which aren't really threats, jumping around, he can't even properly snatch Yi Ting away, which is affecting his mood.

Since that's the case... then we can take advantage of our mobility to infiltrate alone and deal with the Feather Emperor, who is suspected to be the Envoy of Abundance, and the Taotie whose strength is unknown, within these 8 days. The rest can be dealt with by Jing Yuan slowly.

If you manage to snag Yiting after this, and there's still some left, then come and have a few rounds of fun.

Lin Yi felt much better after coming up with a solution.

Lin Yi: If that's the case, then fine.

Lin Yi: However... General Jingyuan—

Lin Yi: What if I take down Yu Huang first? Would that shorten the duration of the battle?

Lin Yi thought about the vitality of the Abundance Envoy again... Hiss~ It's not so easy to kill him by force. Leave some room for maneuver and take down the Feather Emperor.

Jingyuan: ?! Diting was shocked.

Jingyuan: If that's the case, it should be faster, but...

Lin Yi: Forget it, if we can't compress it to within 8 days, then it doesn't matter. Let it last as long as it wants.

Lin Yi: To be honest, I have an appointment with Black Tower and the others to go on a long trip in eight days, the exact date is uncertain. Although I reckon the battlefield won't need just one more person, but—

Chapter 237 Qiong Sang - A Good Target.

Lin Yi: I might not be able to get back in time. I need to make some arrangements now so I can't have a clear mind. I might as well kill the Feather Emperor as a sacrifice.

Jing Yuan hesitated. Why did this genius always come up with something so unpredictable?

In Jingyuan's opinion, even if Lin Yi had gone on a long trip or was completely out of contact, this was still a situation where they could win as long as they played it safe and steady, and there was absolutely no need for any extra maneuvers.

Jingyuan: This will certainly boost our morale and inspire our troops, but... isn't it too risky?

"Jingyuan": As the ancient saying goes, "A gentleman does not sit under a dangerous roof." Mr. Lin Yi is far more than worth a thousand pieces of gold; there is no need for him to personally take such a risk.

Jingyuan: If Mr. Lin Yi has other important matters to attend to, he may leave at any time. There is no need to worry about the war situation.

Lin Yi: It's alright~ It's a small problem. Even if we can't kill him, there's absolutely no risk involved.

Lin Yi: Trust me~

"Lin Yi": "The Medicine King's Compassionate Heart (JPG)"

Lin Yi has logged off.

Jing Yuan looked completely bewildered, like an old man using a cell phone on the subway.

Before the Celestial General, did the Medicine King show compassion?

Is this...is this right?

However, I did breathe a sigh of relief, as this confirmed what wasn't really a rumor... the Envoy of Abundance!

Since that's the case, there's absolutely no need to worry.

The vitality of the Abundance Envoy—no one understands it better than the Immortal Boat; it's truly difficult to kill.

Lin Yi loosened his muscles slightly. He had always been the type who wasn't good at martial arts. But since becoming the Envoy of Abundance, he hadn't had a proper sparring match with anyone.

Well, not counting Huanlong, he was a pushover who was outmaneuvered from beginning to end... and it wasn't just him fighting alone. Plus, Huanlong wasn't the kind of formidable enemy suitable for a head-on confrontation.

This time I should be able to properly move my hands and feet.

With a whoosh, Lin Yi quietly arrived behind Zhu Xing. Zhu Xing was no longer fiddling with the Rainbow Light Ship, but was instead taking inventory of special large-area destruction weapons.

Lin Yi didn't appear; instead, he remained hidden within the phase. Then, just as Zhu Xing lowered his guard, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Wow!"

Zhu Xing shuddered: "Teacher, stop it! I'm not a child anymore, I won't be scared like that."

Lin Yi: "Then why were you trembling just now?"

Chasing Stars: Who understands this? Having a teacher like this, relying solely on their stealth to scare people???

Seeing Zhu Xing frowning and pouting, Lin Yi angrily rubbed the dog's head, making a mess of Zhu Xing's hair. Then, just as Zhu Xing was about to scold him with a wronged look, he interrupted the spellcasting: "Alright~ I'm not joking with you anymore. Teacher has to go out for a while to see if I can hunt down the Feather Emperor. Keep an eye on the house so it doesn't get raided."

Sure enough, interrupting spellcasting is useful.

Zhu Xing was taken aback: "Teacher~ how about I go with you? There's not much to guard in Space City. The Feather Emperor might not be easy to deal with."

Lin Yi pondered. Indeed, there was nothing to guard, and besides, Ruan Mei and Luo Si were at home. If something really went wrong, they couldn't just ignore it.

Lin Yi: "Alright~ Let's go side by side and finish this quickly."

Lin also greeted Luo Sigumu, but Ruan Mei was probably still chatting with Hei Ta.

Lin Yi: I have to go out for a while. Things are a bit unsettled right now. I should be fine, but if anything goes wrong, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on Space City.

"Screw Gum": Willing to serve

"Screw Gum": "Clink glasses"

Half a system time later, outside Qiongsang.

Lin Yi and Zhu Xing hid in the phase, without using the "Nightmare Ring" to conceal their figures.

After all, it's a bountiful base, so this thing might not be very useful. It's better to keep it hidden in the prime minister's position.

Lin Yi and Zhu Xing looked around, seemingly habitual offenders, clearly having done this kind of stealth work quite often.

Upon seeing the magnificent giant cypress tree, even the worldly-wise Lin Yi was amazed: "What a magnificent cypress tree remains! There are some fresh burn marks, but they don't look too serious. It must have been affected by the aftershocks of the light arrow."

The celestial dome is incredibly vast, its roots either anchored in planets or coiled around stars, seemingly drawing sustenance and energy from these celestial bodies to sustain itself.

Above the roots is a massive, withered, and decaying tree trunk.

It was only a small section of the trunk that was visible, and it was covered with various new and old wounds. There was a gap that went through and torn, which looked like a wound caused by a sharp weapon. Lin Yi examined it and found that the life energy of the hunting spirit on it was particularly active, but it had been there for quite some time.

It appears to have been created during the reign of the ancient hunting lord who ruled over the Qiongsang, and it has remained uncured for a long time.

Apart from this one wound, the rest of the body was covered in scorching and deathly aura, as if it had been engulfed in an astonishing blaze, suffering utter destruction and an incurable wound.

Lin Yi didn't even need to test him; he could tell at a glance that this was an old acquaintance—a figure brimming with an aura of destruction.

Let's look at things from two or three thousand years ago.

It seems the legend of the Immortal Ship is true, and Xingxiao really did intercept Zhu Ming, demanding that Zhu Ming's Immortal Ship join her in defeating the Wing Creators.

Sure enough, the people of Fengrao are hated.

But this Star Howl isn't any better—why does it not finish its homework like Seele? It destroyed Qiongsang without completely eradicating the Wingers.

There are many breaks and burns on the outer edge of the rhizome of the Qiong Sang. These are relatively new, and the marks indicate that they were caused by the aftershocks of Lan's Light Arrow not long ago.

The vitality of the Abundance Miracle is truly strong. Even in this state, it doesn't seem to be completely dead. At most, it's like the Jianmu tree before, unable to reproduce, but its roots are still vibrant, still absorbing nutrients to maintain itself.

These roots not only penetrated the planets that inhabited the stars, but some also penetrated the much smaller giant trees around them.

The branches and leaves of the surrounding giant trees were noticeably sparse.

It looks like a terminally ill person squeezing every last drop of life from the very bones and blood of the newly born.

Compared to the size of the Qiong Sang tree, the Fusang tree at home is like a small sapling, and the Jianmu tree on the Immortal Boat is only one-hundredth the size of it.

It truly is a divine object created by the Wing Makers over countless years, plundering countless life-bearing planets and other bountiful peoples' divine relics to provide for it.

How exactly did the emperor of that ancient kingdom manage to defeat the Wingers? And even win! It's truly unbelievable, even if it was just an advance team.

Zhu Xing took out his camera and snapped a lot of photos: "It's really spectacular, but also so bulky. If you dropped a giant singularity cube down there, it would explode in one hit, right?"

Zhu Xing: "No, such a good target, a singularity cube is too stingy. We should bring out the Heavenly Weapon, the Black Hole Bomb, the High-Energy Arc, the 9930 Light Particle Cannon... and blow them up."

Lin Yi flicked him on the forehead.

Zhu Xing clutched his head: "Ouch!"

This time it really hurt, because Lin Yi tapped it with his little finger.

Since Onpharos and the Holy Grail aren't coming any faster, it seems like we'll have to wait. I'll stick to the more difficult dungeons in Belloborg (The Fake Man, Shining, Back Alley) and maybe write something about them then.

Chapter 238 Star Chaser's Homework

The simulated little finger represents the recreated body of Nanook during the ascension experiment.

Even a light tap could cause pain to someone with Zhu Xing's physical strength; this thing carries a sense of overwhelming force.

One can imagine the power that would be unleashed when it gets close and a forceful stab is delivered.

Although he had never fought seriously, Lin Yi could roughly judge that his role was more like a mage assassin with a lock-on health cheat.

In terms of survivability, its defense is actually not high, and its health bar is not thick. However, its health bar is always full, and it cannot be reduced to zero.

(I admit your attacks are strong, but go talk to the pharmacist~)

The attack power isn't high without other planet-destroying weapons like cannons. It's more like a mechanic-based kill.

Mobility is at its maximum.

Well, that's not comprehensive. At least in terms of practical protection capabilities, it's not as strong as a guardianship order.

In terms of mechanics, aren't Kakamo and Yomi also maxed out their mechanics?

Therefore, Lin Yi felt that it wasn't sinister at all; it was perfectly normal.

Zhu Xing looked aggrieved: "Teacher, you hit me again!"

Lin Yi glared at Zhu Xing: "You deserved to be hit!"

Lin Yi scolded, "Think about what nonsense you just said! This Qiongsang and all these abundant miracles outside will eventually be our own treasures. How can we possibly destroy our own treasures?"

Lin Yi: "It's fun to bomb them all now, but we've come all this way for nothing. This war of abundance has been fought for nothing. We won't get any benefits."

Zhu Xing suddenly realized: "That's right! Sooner or later it will belong to the teacher, and sooner or later what belongs to the teacher will be mine. In other words, these things will be mine sooner or later, so we really can't blow them up."

"duang~"

Another tap.

Lin Yi: "Stop fooling around, are you cursing me to die?"

This child is becoming more and more 'joyful'.

Zhu Xing blinked and chuckled, then stopped joking and asked seriously, "Ahem~ So, teacher, what should we do now? Sneak in and find the Feather Emperor to give him a good beating?"

"Or should we charge in head-on like a 'real assassin' and wipe out all the witnesses?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, let's take more photos first."

Zhu Xing was taken aback: "Eh~"

Lin Yi said matter-of-factly, "If we don't take more pictures, we won't see them again in the future. We still have plenty of time, so let's leave more historical materials for future generations. We can't all go to the Memory Court to 'search,' can we?"

Zhu Xing asked in confusion, "Teacher, didn't you say we wouldn't explode?"

Lin Yi tapped again, and Zhu Xing reacted successfully, tilting his head to dodge.

Lin Yi: "Even if it hadn't exploded, we still wouldn't have seen anything like this."

Although Zhu Xing was asking questions, his hands didn't stop; he kept snapping photos. To an outsider, he would have looked like a diligent historian or recounter.

Lin Yi, carrying the Star Chaser, kept teleporting and taking pictures from various angles, acting as if the Wing Creator didn't exist and treating this place as his own home.

Lin Yi even picked out a few nice ones to add to his travel log collection later.

Well, this trip to Qiongsang might be published as the latest issue of "Travel Notes," a travel log and guide written by Lin Yi himself, which has been on hiatus for a long time.

Seeing that it was about time, Lin Yi patted Zhu Xing on the shoulder: "Let's go in and take a look, to observe the customs and culture of the Wingmakers in detail. I heard that the Wingmakers have a strict class system, and their fate is basically sealed from birth."

Lin Yi: "The noble will always be noble, and the lowly can hardly escape the dust. Birth determines everything, and there is almost no chance to rewrite one's destiny later in life."

I say almost, not absolutely, because of fate. Embarking on fate is the best way to rewrite one's destiny.

Even if you are noble and wealthy, you, as an ordinary person, would not dare to discriminate against those who embark on their destiny's journey, for who knows if they might turn out to be crazy.

Powerful forces generally emphasize the survival of the fittest, and the power of the individual is the best interpretation of strength, which ultimately surpasses ordinary money and power.

But how many people possess the will to embark on their destiny and the drive to fulfill it?
