Chapter 60 The Bridge to Heaven
"Haha, how could I make up such a thing? The immortal leader of the 1008 Universe Kingdom witnessed it with his own eyes," King Zhenyan said cheerfully.
True King Yan and Nine Swords Venerable belong to the same camp of the Virtual Universe Company and have no hostility towards him. However, it is also a happy thing to gossip about someone like Nine Swords Venerable getting humiliated.
Yan Xi's eyes lit up, and she eagerly pressed for more information, "And then... As far as I know, Lin Yi was personally appointed as the commander of the personal guards by the city lord, right? Although he's just a mere domain lord, he represents the city lord's will to some extent. Didn't he receive any warning for acting so recklessly?"
At the level of Yan Xi and Zhen Yan, who are already high-ranking members of the human race, they naturally know the origin of Lin Yi's position as the commander of the personal guards.
To be honest, neither of them took Lin Yi, the domain lord, seriously.
In the universe, the strong are respected, and everything is decided by strength.
No matter who you are the descendant of or how powerful your background is, if you want to earn respect from others, you still need to demonstrate equal strength.
Nightmare Candle King has a powerful background, right? He's the head of the Giant Axe Arena, a true disciple of the Lord of Void Gold, and the only son of the High-Level Universe Venerable, Venerable Eclipse Fire. He enjoys immense pampering, but what good is that? He can only be one of the heads of the garbage star field and has no way to deal with True Evolution King, his invincible enemy who was crowned a king.
Humanity has nearly twenty universe masters with countless offspring, but everything still depends on strength. No one has entered the highest human council because of their powerful background.
This is why, in the original story, when the strange things about Earth were discovered, the highest levels of humanity disregarded the cost and engaged in a fierce struggle to seize them.
Strength is the foundation of everything.
Although Lin Yi was "favored" by the Chaos City Lord and granted the position of Commander of the Personal Guard, in the eyes of these powerful figures, he was merely a mascot who could only enjoy the benefits of a nominal position. He was not qualified to truly exercise power!
Unless the Lord of Chaos grants public authorization.
Of course, that's impossible. What kind of existence is the Lord of Chaos City? Would he let a mere Domain Lord kid mess around like that?
The same scene unfolded in multiple locations within the cosmic secret realms, all involving beings at the King-level or higher immortal realms. In their eyes, Lin Yi's monitoring of the Nine Swords Venerable was undoubtedly a case of showing off one's limited skills before an expert, a laughable act.
"The current situation is very delicate. We'll see what this commander does next," said King Zhenyan, with a spectator's mentality.
Lin Yi's actions have touched a nerve with many high-ranking officials. Under the established system of interests, no one can accept being disrupted by a mere domain lord-level nobody who wields power like a tiger.
If Lin Yi fails to demonstrate his abilities, one can imagine that he will be targeted by both overt and covert attacks until he is forced to remain "honestly" in Chaos City, humiliated and disgraced.
How could a supreme immortal king or cosmic venerable be subject to constant surveillance by a mere domain lord? This door must not be opened!
Of course, if Lin Yi demonstrates solid "hard power," then they will have nothing to say.
"Huh! Interesting!"
King Zhenyan suddenly laughed, turning to Yan Xi beside him and smiling.
"Let's go, Lin Yi is going to try to cross the Tongtian Bridge, let's go and see."
The woman with the snake tail said indifferently, "Not interested."
What strength does a domain lord who is "born and raised" outside the five major powers have? At most, he can only pass through ten or eight levels of the Tongtian Bridge. Watching him attempt to cross the Tongtian Bridge is a complete waste of time.
"You really don't give me any face." The ape-man burly man glared.
The two were indeed very close friends. They both founded sects in Chaos City and exchanged their insights on the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele" back then. One of their discussions and debates on the laws lasted for several epochs, which is a well-known story in Chaos City.
That exchange and debate allowed them to break through to a new level.
"Perhaps even the Nine Swords Venerable's men are here; it'll definitely be quite a spectacle," the ape-man burly man laughed.
"Then... let's go," the woman with the snake tail said.
……
Virtual universe, the Bridge to Heaven dimension.
Two figures appeared out of nowhere on the island: a burly ape-man and a woman with a snake's tail. The pressure emanating from their pure will made one feel as if they were facing an endless starry sky.
"True King, Evening Mist King." The guardian, Baffin, bowed respectfully.
"Zhenyan, Xiwu, you've come too?" King Longyu smiled and walked towards them when he saw the two.
"Longyu, I knew you were here." King Zhenyan said with a smile.
As a direct subordinate of the Nine Swords Venerable, Longyu King's presence here was entirely expected.
Long Yuwang gestured around the island, "I'm not the only one who's come."
Following Longyu King's gaze, Zhenyan King's eyes widened. "Ha, quite a few indeed. People from the Qianwu Kingdom, people from Yuanchen Venerable, people from Gulun Venerable..."
King Xiwu nodded. At least fifty cosmic venerables had gathered here, most of whom were immortal kings.
Clearly, they had all heard rumors that Lin Yi was going to break through the bridge.
……
Chaos City, Lin Yi's Palace.
Lin Yi had already finished his mental cultivation.
"Haoyue said that rumors are circulating outside that my oversight of the Genius Battle made the Nine Swords Venerable lose face."
"Who spread these rumors? I was just going to watch a genius match."
"Weakness is the original sin; even breathing is wrong."
"Alright, let's go to the Tongtian Bridge to verify this. We might even reap some good fortune."
Lin Yi dragged out a panel.
"Request access to the Skybridge."
Soon a voice rang in Lin Yi's mind.
"Identity confirmed, Lin Yi. You have permanently gained access to the Bridge to Heaven. We hope you will strive to reach the end of the Bridge to Heaven. Teleporting now!"
brush!
Lin Yi disappeared directly from the palace.
……
Virtual universe, a special space.
This dimension is a boundless ocean, with its waves crashing.
A single island floats above the ocean, with fifty-two floating harbors arranged along its edge, each harbor extending into an endless bridge.
The bridge stretches straight to the sky, with a vast expanse of mist rising from the sea, refracting a dazzling light at the horizon.
Lin Yi suddenly appeared in the central square of the island.
"They're here."
"This is Lin Yi, so young! No wonder he acts so recklessly!"
"Not bad, you've broken through to the Realm Lord level."
Facing the gazes of the assembled immortal kings, Lin Yi looked at Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge, who was walking towards him.
"Hello, Commander Lin Yi, I am Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane."
"Hello, Baffin." Lin Yi nodded.
"Let me introduce you," said the guard, Baffin, nodding.
"This Sky Bridge dimension was created specifically for the 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City."
"Our human race in the universe has been comprehending the 52 Chaos Steles for billions of years, and has also formed 52 schools of thought in Chaos City."
"This is what the watchman, Baffin, remarked."
"Is there no one on the Tianhuo Tongtian Bridge?"
Lin Yi cut Baffin off, speaking directly.
"Uh... of course."
What a joke! I heard that Lin Yi came to challenge the Heavenly Bridge, so the Heavenly Fire Heavenly Bridge was closed a day ago, and more than a dozen geniuses' applications were rejected, just so that Lin Yi could be the first to pass the challenge.
This is both a sign of respect for Lin Yi's personal guard commander and for the group of immortals who wanted to observe his performance.
Lin Yi looked around and saw dozens of immortal kings watching him, and nodded in satisfaction.
He came to try his luck in order to gain good fortune.
