Punishment!
The palace was very dilapidated, and an ancient wind pervaded the surroundings. Moreover, there was nothing here, and even the ground was spotless!
However, Lin Ling could still sense a sense of sorrow in the palace. It was as if the era of the gods was glorious and prosperous, but after so many years, there were only a few gods left. There was a desolation of things remaining the same, but people had changed!
"All of your trial missions will be reduced by two stars! "
At this moment, Lei Gong's deep voice finally floated out of his mouth!
"Lord Lei Gong! "
As soon as he said that, Zhong Shan, Sister Zhen and the others' faces all changed!
They had already thought about how Lei Gong would punish them. They were even willing to accept any punishment, but they never thought that it would actually be a Star Drop!
To them, this was even harder to accept than death!
This was because as long as one could become a 10-star trial-taker, they would be able to take over the position of a god and become the next Lei Gong. Currently, they were very close to becoming a 10-star trial-taker. If their stars were downgraded, they would have to work hard for at least a million years!
This also meant that their efforts over the past ten thousand years had all been for naught!
"Why? "
Sister Na Zhen gritted her teeth and looked up at Lei Gong.
"Hmph! "
However, Lei Gong coldly snorted, causing Sister Zhen to feel a sweetness in her throat. A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. After that, Sister Zhen no longer dared to speak!
"Lord Lei Gong, they just don't want to offend Youjin, so this matter has nothing to do with them!" "
At this time, Lin Ling pleaded for them!
After all, Lin Ling had been in the final world for a long time. However, he had only completed four star missions. There were even one or two missions that gave him additional rewards!
Furthermore, these people had reached six-star and seven-star. From this, it could be seen how much effort they had put in. Now that they were being demoted, how could they accept it?
As for Sister Zhen, although Lin Ling didn't like her, Lin Ling wasn't stingy to the point of being overbearing!
This was because he knew that Sister Zhen didn't have any enmity with him. The reason why she attacked him was because she couldn't put her face down!
However, Sister Zhen was also one of Lei Gong's ten challengers. They would inevitably meet in the future, so Lin Ling didn't want to make their relationship too stiff!
"Did you see that? This is magnanimity! Look at you guys! "
Hearing Lin Ling's words, Lei Gong said to Sister Zhen and the others.
"Lord Lei Gong, we were wrong!"
Those trial takers all lowered their heads and sincerely admitted their mistakes!
However, although Sister Zhen was apologizing, her heart was burning with anger because Lin Ling seemed to be pleading for them. In fact, he was embarrassing her in front of Lei Gong!
Lin Ling was definitely doing this on purpose!
What a shrewd person!
Sister Zhen thought to herself.
In fact, she had wronged Lin Ling because Lin Ling and her met for the first time. Although there was some friction, there was no need for him to target Sister Zhen!
What's more, Lin Ling still didn't know why Lei Gong valued him, so Lin Ling naturally wouldn't provoke others!
"How about this, other than Ou Shuzhen, everyone will drop one star. You should thank Lin Ling!"
In the end, Lei Gong made a decision, and his words made those trial takers extremely excited!
They could accept it if it was just a drop of one star. At most, they would lose a few thousand years of hard work!
"Thank you, Lin Ling!"
Then, they immediately saluted Lin Ling with their hands folded.
"This!"
Lin Ling was a little embarrassed!
"Lin Ling, this matter isn't your fault. We were reckless. Please forgive us for offending you before!"
However, those people said politely, as if they were very grateful to Lin Ling!
Seeing this, Lin Ling also cupped his hands and bowed in return!
"Ou Shuzhen, aren't you going to thank Lin Ling?"
At this time, Lei Gong saw that Sister Zhen didn't speak, so he immediately said coldly, "Although you're a seven-star trial taker, you don't have the right to order other trial takers. You've violated the rules, so I'm dropping two stars. Are you not satisfied?"
"Your subordinate doesn't dare!"
Sister Zhen quickly lowered her head and said. Then, she looked at Lin Ling and smiled, "Thank you, Lin Ling, for pleading on my behalf!"
This sentence seemed very sincere, but her heart was trembling. She felt that Lin Ling was doing it on purpose, definitely on purpose!
"As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. Let bygones be bygones!"
Lin Ling suddenly smiled, not noticing the change in Sister Zhen's heart!
"Thank you!"
Elder Sister Zhen said again and then retreated!
"All of you can leave. Lin Ling, stay!"
At this time, Lei Gong waved his hand impatiently and said.
"Yes, sir!"
All the trial-takers left respectfully, and Lin Ling looked at them indifferently. He realized that there were only five trial-takers here, and including himself, there were only six. This meant that there were still four trial-takers who had not appeared!
However, these five people were very strong, surpassing Lin Ling!
This strength wasn't due to talent, because Lin Ling also had the Divine Embryo Body. However, their Divine Power was more than Lin Ling's!
"Lin Ling, are you curious why I value you so much?"
At this time, Lei Gong walked down and looked at Lin Ling with a smile.
Lin Ling quickly nodded.
"Come with me!"
Lei Gong didn't say much and strode forward. At the other corner of the hall, there was an ancient stone door. After Lei Gong opened it, he led Lin Ling in!
What surprised Lin Ling was that behind the stone door was a paradise. There were green mountains and clear waters, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. It seemed that this paradise was in this sacred mountain. However, Lin Ling didn't expect this sacred mountain to be so big!
Looking into the distance, Lin Ling found that there were many people. There were almost a thousand of them!
And these people weren't weak. There were young people and old people. Some of them were sitting cross-legged, while others were looking at the astrolabe in front of them!
In short, they all had their own things to do!
"They are all in the void, looking for the World Will!"
Standing on top of a cliff, the Thunder God pointed to the front and said, "I've been searching for these people in the Nine States and the Void for so many years. They each have their own powerful Domains and are definitely not ordinary experts!"
Hearing this, Lin Ling nodded because he could sense it even without Lei Gong's explanation!
Perhaps because they were in Lei Gong's territory, these people didn't hide their strength. When they were doing something, most of them released their auras!
This made Lin Ling realize that many of them were at the late stage of the Martial God Realm. Some were even at the peak of the Martial God Realm. They were close to becoming Gods!
Many of them had Divine Fetuses. Some of the Divine Fetuses' auras even made Lin Ling feel great pressure!
"Tie Niu, come here!"
At this time, Lei Gong calmly shouted. Then, a simple and honest man immediately ran over from afar!
He ran in the sky and wore cotton clothes. His pants were folded at his knees and his legs were bare. He looked like a farmer!
Of course, if he released his aura, everyone in Jiuzhou would think that he was a farmer!
