The City Seizing War at the 4th Border City of the Australia War Zone concluded with the chaotic retreat of the He Clan players.

Yet, for some reason.

After the excitement subsided, the players from Hua Country found themselves deep in thought.

This fort defense battle seemed like a victory, but everyone’s hearts felt nothing but a heavy weight instead of joy.

Especially for pinnacle players like Shengshi Drunken Ghost.

You could say that if it weren’t for Feng Hua’s timely appearance today, the city might have changed hands.

Was it their problem?

Yes and no.

Indeed, their lack of strength left them helpless against the ghost infant earlier.

And no.

It was simply because Yamada Miki was overwhelmingly powerful.

Excluding the factor of Yamada Miki.

The entire He Clan players couldn’t make much of a splash in front of them.

However, even so.

This couldn’t be a reason for Shengshi Drunken Ghost and the others to console themselves.

Thus, after the fort defense battle ended, Shengshi Drunken Ghost and others hurriedly greeted Lin Yi and left quickly.

It was evident.

The strength Yamada Miki demonstrated this time was quite a blow to them.

In fact, when Lin Yi saw them like this, he wanted to say:

’It’s not your fault.’

’Yamada Miki’s current power isn’t because he’s diligent or lucky.’

’It’s because an extremely perverted soul resides in his body.’

Being possessed by that twisted necromancer, Samson, could make even a pig ascend to the heavens.

Let alone someone like Yamada Miki, who is already a top-tier player in the He Clan.

But obviously, Lin Yi would never say such a thing.

It’s not that they wouldn’t believe him.

Rather, Lin Yi felt this could be a motivation for them, which was a good thing.

After all, having a goal to surpass is better than stagnating.

While ordinary players were still immersed in the joy of victory.

Only they realized the crux of the problem this time.

If Lin Yi hadn’t come today, what would have happened?

Many people were very clear in their hearts.

Soon, with the end of the fort defense battle, players began to leave gradually.

Only Lin Yi, Zhang Xinying, and a few others were left on the empty beach.

Dongfang Jing finally couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked:

"Why did you come back so soon?"

This was also the question the others were most concerned about.

Lin Yi, seeing no outsiders around, didn’t hide it anymore:

"Actually, what you see now is just one of my clones."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock:

"A clone!"

Dongfang Jing suddenly seemed to understand something:

"I see."

And then, everyone else realized:

"No wonder you weren’t visible on the friend list, Boss Feng."

Tianci excitedly said:

"So, in other words."

"Your real body is still on that Nine Nether Continent?"

Feeling everyone’s curious gaze, Lin Yi nodded:

"That’s right."

"I heard from Aifula about the city seizing attempt by the He Clan, so I tried to see if I could use a clone to come over."

"Unexpectedly, it actually worked."

The others were thrilled:

"So, what’s that Nine Nether Continent like? Tell us about it."

Tianci:

"Is it fun there? Are there many beauties?"

Red Eyes:

"Is it as big as our Rafam Continent?"

Zhang Xinying:

"Are you okay over there?"

Wang Zixin:

"What sort of place is it?"

Zhan Chen:

"Can we go there too?"

...

Overwhelmed by their barrage of questions, Lin Yi said:

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"I’ll answer these questions slowly when we have the chance later."

"I can’t stay here too long this time; I need to go back soon."

"But before I go back, there are a few things I need your help with."

Finally, Lin Yi gave Zhang Xinying a reassuring look and said:

"I’m doing fine over there, don’t worry."

Dongfang Jing suddenly asked:

"Have you completed the Seventh Transformation over there?"

Lin Yi looked at Dongfang Jing in surprise:

"How do you know about that?"

Lin Yi remembered he hadn’t mentioned that now.

Since right now Lin Yi is just a clone, it wouldn’t display his level.

Was it perceived during his previous moves?

Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, everyone instantly understood it was as they suspected.

Without waiting for Lin Yi to answer, they all exclaimed spontaneously:

"Freak!"

Being looked at as a freak by everyone left Lin Yi speechless.

But thinking about it, Lin Yi himself found it unbelievable, let alone them.

Subsequently, Lin Yi didn’t explain much, instead, he discussed what he needed their help with next.

Currently, this is just a clone; many functions can’t be used.

Hence, Lin Yi could only have them assist with completion.

These tasks were related to the arrangements for meeting Yamada Miki three days later.

About that Dragon Soul which Yamada Miki showed him, Lin Yi had to acquire it regardless if it was of the Dragon God or not.

Only then did Lin Yi realize.

Why, after repeatedly using the Dragon Seal [Summon Dragon Soul], he had never summoned the soul of the Dragon God.

It was evident that this wasn’t a matter of probability, but rather there was simply no Dragon God soul among the Dragon Souls he summoned.

After arranging what they needed to do next, Lin Yi spent some time explaining the situation on the Nine Nether Continent to them.

Compared to the vast Rafam Continent, the Nine Nether Continent appeared much more mundane.

Unlike the Rafam Continent, which is home to the Hundred Races and a variety of civilizations, the Nine Nether Continent lacks these conflicts and adversarial relations between races.

Instead.

The Nine Nether Continent only has endless internal strife among humans and wars against monstrous beasts from the Demon Forest.

Speaking of which.

Due to the system’s intervention and the presence of players on Rafam Continent.

It stands superior in various aspects compared to the Nine Nether Continent, whether in terms of convenient transportation (Teleportation Arrays) or prosperity.

In comparison to Rafam Continent, the Nine Nether Continent seems like a backward village.

Under Lin Yi’s explanation, Tianci and the others gained a bit of understanding about this unfamiliar world.

Even though Lin Yi tried to downplay the Nine Nether Continent as common as possible.

Their eagerness to explore it couldn’t be suppressed.

Regarding this matter.

Lin Yi couldn’t make any promises.

But if conditions allowed, Lin Yi wouldn’t mind taking them there to broaden their horizons.

Of course.

That’s all in the future.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Xinying pulled Lin Yi aside to speak a few seemingly trivial words.

But Lin Yi could clearly feel that she was worried about him.

For this, Lin Yi reassured her: 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Don’t worry."

"At worst, the mission will just fail."

"There’s no danger, don’t worry about me."

Seeing the sly smile on Lin Yi’s face, Zhang Xinying’s face turned red:

"Who’s worried about you, narcissist."

She said, running away shyly.

Once that matter concluded, Lin Yi departed from his group and made his way to the Elf Race.

Upon appearing at the Teleportation Array of the Elf Race, Great Elder Gamplov came to meet him as soon as the news reached him.

Among the murmurs of the surrounding players, Lin Yi and Gamplov headed to the Divine Hall located at the center of the Elf Race.

Once there, Gamplov spoke:

"What you wanted to discuss, Aifula has already informed me."

Lin Yi was taken aback:

"You know?"

Gamplov chuckled:

"It’s about that unconscious Elemental Spirit, right?"

Lin Yi nodded:

"Yes."

"I’m hoping to see if the Great Elder has a way to awaken her."

Gamplov stroked his beard and said:

"Based on Aifula’s account, I have a guess."

"That Elemental Spirit likely entered an unconscious state as a self-defense mechanism after being triggered by something."

"Restoring her might be a bit complicated."

"Next time, bring her here, and I’ll see what I can do."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi said no more:

"Alright!"

With this matter settled, Lin Yi said to Gamplov:

"Great Elder, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask your assistance with."

Gamplov was surprised:

"What is it?"

Lin Yi replied:

"Kill me."
