Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Targeted Right from the Start?
The priest spoke with a tone of calm mixed with slight trembling, making it truly difficult for him to accept Lin Yi, this savior, given his devotion to the gods.
Lin Yi smiled slightly at the priest:
No need for formalities, Father. I’m just lucky. If I’m not mistaken, it’s not the time for prayers right now. I wonder if you could lead me to the forbidden area at the dungeon entrance.
Polite words are welcome everywhere.
Upon hearing this, the priest, with a gentle smile, bowed to Lin Yi, expressing his willingness to serve.
After speaking, he moved ahead to lead the way for Lin Yi and his companions.
The dungeon entrance was located at the very back of the church. Flying wasn’t appropriate inside the church, and due to its size, Lin Yi and his companions needed to walk for a while.
During this time, the priest began to tell Lin Yi and his team about the past of this country.
In the thousands of years of history, Fandigang has undergone many changes, from various institutions to slight alterations in its script.
The only constant has been the faith in the gods.
Fandigang occupies the smallest area among the various countries on Blue Star. Despite this, its citizens lead a peaceful life, attributing everything to the blessings from the gods.
Lin Yi considered such words as nonsense.
Isn’t a happy life something you strive for yourself?
"Mr. Lin Yi, regardless of what happens after entering the dungeon, I hope you don’t forget to maintain a sense of reverence towards the gods and, as I’ve heard you’re a dungeon concluder, I hope you’ll be merciful to our dungeon."
This didn’t need further discussion. Since Blue Star achieved peace, Lin Yi hadn’t considered blowing up a dungeon, and he readily agreed.
Just as Lin Yi took out the Descent Invitation, the priest couldn’t help but remind him that gods do indeed exist in this world.
Lin Yi nodded.
On this matter, he understood better than anyone else. Isn’t his divine power acquired through slaying gods?
Upon reaching the rear courtyard of the church, in a patchy overgrown area, Lin Yi took out the Descent Invitation.
With the emission of dark purple light, Lin Yi and his group were successfully pulled into the dungeon.
Once the scene transformed before their eyes, it resembled a scene that would only appear in films, unfolding before Lin Yi and his companions.
This was a place that stirred the imagination.
To be precise, it mirrored the description of heaven found in films.
Beneath their feet was endless clouds, the air filled with a peaceful and warm atmosphere, along with the subtle golden glow, making the entire space extraordinarily harmonious.
Breathing the fresh air, a feeling of comfort crept over every cell within Nangong Ling, even giving her an urge to lie down on the clouds and sleep.
"Haha, you might as well try. Though this is heaven, you won’t fall."
"Only those who are extremely sinful will be rejected by heaven."
A strange middle-aged male voice rang out behind Nangong Ling, causing her to startle and quickly turn to look.
There stood a benevolent white-bearded old man, smiling as he slowly appeared. His white attire, wasn’t he just like God?
Seeing Nangong Ling’s somewhat frightened expression, the old man opened his mouth to explain.
"I can see what someone is thinking. Seeing through your thoughts naturally isn’t strange, so there’s no need to fear me."
Just as Nangong Ling’s trio was being sidetracked, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Isn’t this place supposed to be a layer of the Descent Abyss dungeon? Why is there no dungeon notice after entering?
What’s going on?
Moreover, this white-haired old man doesn’t seem like a pleasant figure. That overly kind smile actually feels a bit creepy.
When Lin Yi had this thought, the white-haired old man did not respond.
It seemed the white-haired old man couldn’t see through Lin Yi’s mind.
"All of you have come here seeking greater strength, right? Since that’s the case, why don’t we get straight to the point?"
Lin Yi also wished to get to the topic quickly, considering there might be many dungeons waiting for him to clear.
Thus, no one interrupted the white-haired old man’s speech, beginning to listen to him recount.
"In this vast world, there are countless emotions: greed, anger, fascination, joy, sorrow, etc.
These emotions can be summed up in two words: love and hate."
"Love and hate, under certain conditions, can coexist and transform into each other."
After these words, a holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yi and his companions, showing Lin Yi using an Ancient Forbidden Curse to clear dungeons in the inverted Sky Tower for power.
On that day, Lin Yi like the ruler of heaven and earth, saw no monster living for even a second in front of him, as any target covered by the Wind God’s Throne was instantly pulverized.
Watching the replay, Nangong Ling couldn’t contain her emotions, taking a step forward, her eyes burning with anger, as if she was about to yank out the old man’s beard.
Quick to react, Lin Yi held her back.
Lin Yi didn’t sense malice in the playback; he just wanted to see what sort of reasoning this old fellow would come up with.
In the next moment, the holographic projection changed again.
It was the battle between Blue Star and Izak Planet.
Upon discovering the resources of Sky Tower, the sea monsters of the Izak Race were very keen, ravaging Blue Star under their leader’s instruction.
Fortunately, Lin Yi quickly realized their actions and led Blue Star’s champions in a counterattack.
The battle in the footage was extremely fierce.
As a member of Blue Star, Lin Yi naturally had to defend his homeland from foreign invaders, striking them with a heavy hand, and many sea monsters perished at his hands.
"Water can carry or overturn a boat, as your Xia saying goes. Back then, Lin Yi was slaughtering everywhere at the underwater ruins with his great power."
"Some creatures know to repent, and when they realize their actions are wrong, they stop, as do these invaders."
"But you, Lin Yi, even knowing the opponent was defenseless before you, still struck such a heavy hand."
"What kind of behavior is this? You’re committing genocide!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, without offering any explanation.
Why didn’t this dungeon have system notifications? It turns out this old man was the system notification.
Just how does one defeat this old man? Lin Yi hadn’t any idea for now but decided to first see the old man’s performance.
The scene switched again, and the protagonist was still Lin Yi, only now he was in a different setting, surrounded densely by the Insect Race.
