I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 997: Chapter 997: The Shifting Situation Once Again

"Don’t let the formation fall apart; don’t give them a chance to pursue."

Dragon Queen commanded.

She could no longer worry about whether the team responsible for escorting the information system had completed their task.

The Seven Heroes are the backbone of Dark Rising, and no accidents can occur.

Dark Rising can do without the information system, but it absolutely cannot do without Gongshu De.

If the information system is destroyed, rebuilding is just a matter of time, but if Gongshu De is lost, even maintaining the information system becomes a problem.

Things had reached a crucial point, and Dragon Queen had too many concerns to juggle; she had to make trade-offs.

But just as her order was given, her Dark Rising Ring suddenly started beeping.

The rest of the Seven Heroes saw Dragon Queen encountering difficulties and quickly stood in front of her, creating time for her to deal with internal matters.

Six of the Seven Heroes were busy dealing with the Three Great Corpse Kings, completely unaware of the extreme gloom on Dragon Queen’s face at the moment.

"Damn it, I just knew this involved those All Gods guys. No wonder the Four Great Corpse Kings were released for no reason."

The dynamics of the Three Realms and Six Paths would once again undergo a dramatic shift.

This matter, Dark Rising could no longer stop.

After conveying the information she wanted to share with her teammates via her ring, Dragon Queen rejoined the battlefield, launching a full attack on the Four Great Corpse Kings.

Meanwhile, the battle between Lin Yi and Ying Gou was raging fiercely.

Wo Zhiqi indeed couldn’t fully leverage his combat power from when he was alive, yet, under the support of Lin Yi’s various skills, defeating Ying Gou was a breeze.

Especially after employing the technique of "transformation," Ying Gou was left questioning his existence.

Had it not been for his high health bar, Ying Gou wouldn’t know how many times he would have died already.

Seeing that his individual output against Ying Gou reached 15%, Lin Yi felt quite excited.

If they continued at this pace, it wouldn’t be long before he could earn that substantial reward.

But during the fight, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Wo Zhiqi’s attack rhythm had slowed down significantly, showing a clear trend of wanting to retreat.

This left Lin Yi puzzled, and he promptly raised his question.

"Boss, are you not planning to push anymore? Just Luo Bingxin and Old Xuan, they’ve already been intimidated by your aura and dare not make a move. Besides, Luo Bingxin wouldn’t compete for output with us, this reward is practically ours."

Lin Yi’s confusion wasn’t unwarranted.

It could only be said he didn’t know enough about the Immortal King.

That guy was not one to easily suffer losses.

The Four Great Corpse Kings are bug-level existences in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and with these four being released, someone as strategic as the Immortal King could not be ignorant of such crucial information.

Indeed! Judging by Luo Bingxin’s current relationship with the Corpse Kings, it’s evident she must have released the Four Great Corpse Kings; otherwise, they wouldn’t be helping her.

But who can guarantee the Immortal King has no involvement in this series of events?

Wo Zhiqi had been contemplating this matter even while fighting.

Lin Yi had been battling Ying Gou for so long and yet had seen no reinforcements from Dark Rising, likely because Dark Rising’s experts were caught up in other matters.

On Lin Yi’s side, it’s time to pull back while the going is good.

Ying Gou’s first phase entails reducing his life value by 30%; if Lin Yi can output 20% in this phase, it should suffice to secure the phase’s reward steadily.

Who could have imagined someone would dare to solo a world boss like Ying Gou at this level and cause more than half the damage?

"It’s time to leave; the turbulence in the Three Realms and Six Paths is now inevitable. Continuing here with Ying Gou is not wise, besides once Ying Gou enters the second phase, it would be beyond our capability. Outputting around 20%, then even if Ying Gou’s health restores later and strong players beat him again, you’d still secure the top output reward."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi realized his mentality was still immature.

Despite gaining an advantage, he floated a bit too far beyond himself.

"Thanks for the reminder, Boss. Then let’s withdraw for now; since you put it that way, let Dark Rising and the All Gods handle the ongoing battle themselves."

The Desire Realm Celestial Human Dao was exceedingly noisy at this moment.

As the Desire Realm’s highest plane connecting to the Formless Realm, the place had virtually gathered all of Dark Rising’s powerful members.

For the All Gods to reach the Desire Realm and fight against Dark Rising, they must pass through here.

To maintain the Desire Realm’s stability and steadily develop Dark Rising’s forces, defending the Desire Realm Celestial Human Dao is imperative.

On usual days, the All Gods would not recklessly launch attacks on the Desire Realm.

In terms of overall strength, Dark Rising is inferior to the All Gods.

Add to that, if someone is dead set on slacking off, Dark Rising’s defense line could be termed as unbreakable.

But today was an exception.

The defense line, Luo Bingxin had already opened it.

The exact paths to take to the Desire Realm without obstruction had been systematically arranged by Luo Bingxin.

This time, various divine beings looking to slack off wouldn’t succeed.

The Immortal King’s trusted aides were ordered to supervise the battle.

"Haha, they look quite pitiful now! Before the King issued a stern order, each of them was dragging their feet. Now look at them, their expressions are as if they’ve swallowed a fly."

"Indeed, this bunch has been slacking off for so long it’s as if we few are the only gods managing the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Normally, they just watch us fight desperately with the Dark Rising guys. Now it’s their turn, you know, watching this scene sure is enjoyable."

The current Immortal King was still the leader of All Gods, and the orders he gave, even if the All Gods from various factions were completely unwilling, they had to comply.

The previous excuse: Dark Rising had long laid defense lines, a rash attack would undoubtedly cause unnecessary casualties...

Such excuses can no longer be used, considering the attack routes have been meticulously planned.

When the All Gods mobilized en masse, the anticipated emergency of Dark Rising’s defense line ensued.

Ordinarily, relying on defense lines composed of various arrays, they could confront All Gods who were stronger and even gain the upper hand.

Now, the All Gods somehow sneaked in from another line, sidestepping the arrays they had deployed. In this situation, Dark Rising members had to rely on their own raw strength to battle the All Gods, and the outcome is predictable.

Before long, they were pressed into retreat by the All Gods.

The distress call had been sent out.

Regrettably, Dragon Queen of the Seven Heroes who was responsible for dispatching aid was too busy, and even the members of the dispatch center had evacuated early; the information system had countless messages to process, the most exasperating thing was, even the Dark Rising members responsible for escorting the information processing system were merely preoccupied watching Wo Zhiqi and Ying Gou’s battle.

This group of guys could’ve hurriedly slipped away during the gaps created by Wo Zhiqi and Ying Gou’s fight, but upon seeing Wo Zhiqi gain the upper hand, they developed the illusion of not needing to retreat.

Just like this, even though Wo Zhiqi was prepared to retreat, this group was still watching with great focus.
