Chapter 48 Encountering Chaos!
Chapter 48 Encountering Chaos!
"Um?"
Lin Yi snapped out of his daze and looked up in shock to find a burly man about three meters tall standing not far away. He was wearing an incredibly complex and ancient dark red battle armor and battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.
The mere presence of the other party sent shivers down Lin Yi's spine. At first, he only saw a figure, but then it was as if he saw endless cosmic laws... those magnificent and vast cosmic laws constantly emanated a killing aura, causing Lin Yi to feel an urge to submit...
There was not a single thought of resistance.
Lin Yi, whose mental cultivation was nearing the second stage and whose willpower rivaled that of an ordinary immortal, was silently and completely affected. His pupils dilated, his facial expression gradually became blank, and his soul fluctuations subsided... His mind and eyes were filled with the man before him, as if the other was his god, his everything. Voices arose in his heart, urging him to submit to the man before him...
Lin Yi slowly bent over, his knees bent, and knelt down like a walking corpse...
Buzz!
Just as his knees were about to touch the dark ground, the card pool that had been quietly residing in Lin Yi's sea of consciousness erupted with bursts of mist, empowering his sea of consciousness and protecting his soul!
"Um?"
Lin Yi was jolted awake from his daze.
"Soul enslavement?!"
Lin Yi was drenched in sweat, staring in disbelief at the man standing on the Chaos Ruins!
The dignified Lord of Chaos City actually used a soul-enslaving technique on him upon their first meeting?!
"City Lord... what are you doing..." Lin Yi suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly.
An ordinary voice interrupted him.
"Lin Yi?"
"Your performance has exceeded my expectations. You've done well and had many opportunities," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile, looking at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi remained silent, but a sense of panic welled up inside him.
Although he dared to come to the Initial Universe, he was prepared to meet with the Lord of Chaos and be questioned by him, and he also had a trump card to deal with the Lord of Chaos's possible malice...
But when he actually faced the Lord of Chaos City, he realized that he had been too naive...
It's not a matter of trump cards—[Reincarnation Talisman: Allows those below the True God level to escape reincarnation once, avoiding both reincarnation and the cycle of life and death!]
This is one of the three orange cards I drew on Earth before. It's an incredible life-saving charm that can unconditionally revive anyone below the True God level once!
It is still the cycle of reincarnation that transcends the laws of time and space. With the activation of the talisman, even if the Lord of the Universe reverses time and space, he cannot stop Lin Yi from choosing reincarnation and resurrection.
Most importantly, this Reincarnation Talisman activates autonomously without Lin Yi needing to actively trigger it. As long as he is under a fatal threat, it can activate to protect its master, taking Lin Yi to a random reincarnation and resurrecting him in a place in the primordial universe.
This is Lin Yi's greatest confidence in coming to the initial universe at this time.
He won the gamble and gained a massive amount of good fortune, allowing him to rise rapidly to prominence.
If you lose the bet, you can escape and be resurrected; there's not much of a loss.
Just now, he was clearly about to be enslaved and controlled, but the talisman did not activate on its own and take him to reincarnation to be resurrected!
Because... it was suppressed by another mighty force!
Lin Yi looked up at the hazy, chaotic sky above the primordial universe!
The power of the primordial universe's operating rules descends, suppressing the activation of the Reincarnation Talisman!
Yes, the primordial universe did not evolve to perfection because the primordial ancestor was suppressed, but it still possessed the power of the universe's rules. It was its power that suppressed the power of reincarnation in the reincarnation talisman!
"In the primordial universe, even the strongest axe user would never be able to suppress the Reincarnation Talisman!" Lin Yi thought to himself.
"If this Reincarnation Talisman were a red card or higher, even the power of the primordial universe's rules would absolutely not be able to suppress it!"
However, in a miniature universe at the true god level, the Reincarnation Talisman was perfectly suppressed by the power of the miniature universe's rules!
The Lord of Chaos City finally turned around and looked directly at Lin Yi. Under the Lord of Chaos City's gaze, Lin Yi felt as if his very soul had been seen through.
"Lin Yi, right? You're even more amazing than I imagined, actually managing to block my will's guidance..."
Lin Yi was puzzled. "Guided by will?"
The Lord of Chaos City nodded with a smile, "That's right!"
"What I just used wasn't a malicious soul-enslavement or control technique, but rather a suggestion of will—a power guided by will!"
Lin Yi was skeptical.
When willpower reaches a certain level, it can indeed influence the will of the weak, whether through coercion or subtle guidance...
Just as an ordinary person meeting a head of state, who represents the will of the nation, can easily coerce and force the ordinary person into submission, in the primordial universe, the strong could indeed imply submission to the weak, a tactic used only when the disparity between the two is enormous.
Compared to the lifelong enslavement and control of soul slavery, will guidance is much gentler. As long as Lin Yi leaves the Chaos City Lord, he can gradually recover, and it will hardly harm him.
The Lord of Chaos City didn't dwell on this point and continued...
"I screen everyone who comes to the primordial universe to prevent alien spies from infiltrating, and you little ones are no exception!"
He paused here, a hint of a smile in his voice.
"Unexpectedly, it brought me a completely different kind of surprise..."
You can conjure many magical items out of thin air, allowing you to rise from an Earth native to a domain lord in just a few years.
Besides you, there are three other young geniuses who have mastered their fields at the planetary level.
It's truly amazing that such a small planet could give birth to so many geniuses.
Especially you, Lin Yi, the magical tree within you that can enhance your talents—even with the aid of the power of the primordial universe, I find it difficult to fully see through your extraordinary nature!
The Venerable Guiyi was no longer as calm and composed as before. He looked at Lin Yi beside him with astonishment. He simply couldn't understand why his teacher would go to such lengths to use the power of the primordial universe on such an innocent little guy...
As a disciple whom his teacher valued highly, he knew who owned this primordial universe and who would grant him its power...
Lin Yi was not surprised that the Lord of Chaos City screened everyone who came to the Initial Universe and traced their past.
The existence of the gacha pool is not fully revealed, nor is the unmanifested 'Fire Source Palace,' but the Bodhi Tree, Evolution Pills, and other items are still exposed.
This was within Lin Yi's expectations. Even within the World Ring, the Chaos City Lord could see everything clearly if he wanted to. This was a privilege granted by the primordial universe's will, a manifestation of perfect control over this spacetime.
The Lord of Chaos then spoke, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Lin Yi, the choice you make next will determine your future, so you must be extremely careful..."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat; he knew the most crucial moment had arrived.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he looked straight up at the Lord of Chaos City.
The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment before speaking with a hint of solemnity.
I'll give you three choices.
