Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 834 - 146: Failing the Survivalist Path (Part 2)

Because in addition to the Origin Treasure Chest, the Golden Treasure Hall also needs to provide Lin Rui with a vast amount of resources and wealth.

The amount of goods a single Mythical Material: Divine Fragment can exchange for is simply immeasurable.

After some verbal sparring, the Golden Treasure Hall decided to exchange one Origin Treasure Chest, plus three thousand Mythical Material: Rainbow Oak, three billion Spirit Crystal Coins, and eighty million Spiritual Gems, for these two Divine Core Fragments in Lin Rui's possession.

The transaction will be finalized three days later, with a 5% interest increase for each day of delay.

Lin Rui originally planned to sell them another batch of Golden Pansies, but the scale of the last production from the Golden Pansy Domain was so immense they haven't finished digesting it. This made Lin Rui abandon the idea.

Meanwhile, he's also calculating how to find several more trade partners to open up trade routes and sell the Divine Protection Golden Pansies as widely as possible.

Lin Rui had just completed a market transaction for some goods and hadn't had time to wander around more when Rose found him, her expression grave.

Lin Rui immediately sensed something amiss and asked, "What happened? It feels like you're here to deliver bad news."

Rose glanced at him, furrowing her brows. Her elegant bangs fluttered in the wind, carrying a hint of a murderous aura. She said, "You guessed right, the situation is not optimistic. Your Blood-colored Demon Shadow attacked the Ancient Saint Great Mage of the Academy about three hours ago, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack."

Lin Rui's pupils shook. The Tier Fourteen strongest being of this world, and there is no equal, actually fought evenly with this Blood-colored Demon Shadow?

What kind of monster did I inadvertently nurture!?

Is this the impact a Tier Seven unit I raised can cause?

Lin Rui had to cautiously ask, "So, are people from the Academy here? Right in the Elf Imperial Court?"

Rose nodded, "That's right, our relationship with the Academy isn't bad, and we've repaired a teleportation array. The Academy's Mage Council Hall sent over a dozen Great Mages with hundreds from the Mage Corps directly to the Court."

"They..." Lin Rui looked at Rose, his heart racing.

"Don't worry, they're not here to give you trouble." Rose saw through his thoughts at a glance and said, "Of course, if you leave the forest, whether they'll cut you down directly is another matter. After all, your reputation with them is about rock bottom, it's a fight to the death."

That's not untrue, Lin Rui was pretty much at a point where everyone in this world wanted him dead!

If he left the forest, there would definitely be someone coming to assassinate him first thing.

Even within the forest, there are people who might want to assassinate him, only his terrifying strength deters them.

After listening to Rose, Lin Rui laughed and said, "Still, it's good to have the Elves on one's side; I knew I'd be absolutely safe under the World Tree. What are these mages here for? Their Elemental Keystones haven't been stolen by the Blood-colored Demon Shadow too, right?"

Rose was a standard Elf fanatic; praising the Elves' strength while talking to her was a surefire way.

She naturally looked proud and said, "Of course, who doesn't revere our Elven power? Even the mighty Ancient Saint Great Mage Gu Yan, when coming to the World Tree, has to show us due respect."

Then her tone changed, continuing, "But your time remaining in our forest is also limited."

Lin Rui shivered all over, immediately asking, "What? What? You Elves are going to burn the bridge after crossing it? So soon can't withstand the pressure and want to kick me out of the forest?"

If Lin Rui leaves this safe zone, won't all the various enemies outside tear him to pieces?

Rose gave him a look and said, "You dug this hole, and if you don't go solve it, do you expect to stay here and enjoy the fruits?"

"If possible~" Lin Rui felt no shame at all.

You all asked me to kill Setra, and I did. Whatever problems arose afterward weren't something I could have foreseen.

Anyway, I've touched base with the main quest, so Lin Rui lay there contentedly!

After fighting for so long, am I not allowed to enjoy a little? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

If I can safely wait until the Plane War ends and return smoothly to the Golden Pansy Domain, there's nothing wrong with being a bit cautious!

This situation was always about surviving until the last moment to win the most.

Who wouldn't play it safe if they were here?

Besides, the Elves have yet to fulfill the rewards for helping them defeat the Tombyard Influence and slaying Setra.

Rose looked angrily at this shameless guy, saying, "You really have the gall to say that! Don't even think about it; letting you out isn't just our forest's opinion. It's a consensus among all forces. The mages came to the Court with their primary goal to form a coalition army to eliminate your Shadow of Evil, and as its master, you must personally participate to solve this problem!"

Lin Rui's expression changed, and he said, "Form a troop to slay the Blood-colored Demon Shadow? Are you forming an alliance to act together?"

"Yes. Because you understand it best, the coalition has appointed you as deputy commander."

"What deputy commander? It's clearly bait!" Lin Rui said unhappily, "You're being used as a tool! With Gu Yan as the strongest entity on the Colonization Star, reigning supreme, now an entity emerges threatening his position, urging him to hurry. Why are you Elves anxious?"

Although Lin Rui had a Tier Twelve Clan Badge, which greatly increased his survival chances, he still didn't want to risk it.

That Shadow of Evil had annihilated Setra, and if the enemy isn't killed, the attacks will keep slicing through them.

This implies even the most powerful Elf, the Master of the Wild Hunt, Lord Shadow Moon, could be killed in one strike.

And Lin Rui's most reliable ability, the Sub-Invincible Shield, couldn't be certain to continue working.

This Sub-Invincible Shield has a defensive limit! If an opponent could slice through the world's limit with one sword, causing the world to collapse, even the law attached to the World Wall might directly fail.

Note that even the Sub-Invincible Shield employs this world's laws, and if the world collapses, it's impossible for a golden shining shield to remain amidst the chaos.

If there were such a powerful trait, it must be an absolutely invincible Invincible Shield, transcending the world itself.

Lin Rui glanced at the sky, with the crack spanning millions of miles nearly half repaired, yet the blood rain continued pouring, accompanied by the roars and howls of countless Demons, like an apocalyptic scene.

But for Lin Rui, a Tier Seven existence, to kill such an apocalyptic Demon King.

Lin Rui naturally shook his head vigorously; this would be overestimating him!

But Rose ignored his excuses, saying, "Do you think we don't want to sit and reap the rewards? The problem is your Shadow of Evil keeps getting stronger, and this sky-wide blood rain is caused by its massacre of countless Demons."

"Numerous external Demons and Celestial Kingdom Armaments are intentionally jumping into the pit to enhance your Shadow of Evil's strength, forcing us to kill it. Therefore, opening more cracks."

Lin Rui took a deep breath, these Demons indeed are heartless!

Hundreds of thousands, millions, even billions of casualties are utterly insignificant to the Demon Great Monarchs.

As legends say, there are tens of billions of Demon eggs in one layer of Hell.

They can leap into the cracks one after another, feeding the Shadow of Evil's strength with their blood.

If left unchecked, the Shadow's power would soon swell to an uncontrollable extent.

Even if Lin Rui wanted to safely wait out until the Plane War ended, he might not succeed.

After all, there are over ten days left until the Plane War finishes!

Lin Rui helplessly asked, "So now I have to go no matter what?"

Rose said coldly, "Not just you, but the entire world! Someone must stand up and resolve this issue."
