Chapter 49 The Chaos City Lord's Three Choices!
Three options?
Lin Yi held his breath, staring intently at the Lord of Chaos City, waiting for him to continue.
After a brief encounter, he discovered that the Lord of Chaos City was not as approachable as he had imagined.
Indeed, this being is, after all, a super being who has intimidated countless races, and countless super-strong individuals have fallen at his hands. How could he possibly be as approachable as depicted in the original story?
The reason they treated Luo Feng so calmly was simply because he was the protagonist.
Lin Yi believed that if it weren't for the help of the card pool just now, he would have confessed everything under the so-called will of the Chaos City Lord.
Lin Yi could understand this. He would feel the same way. If he encountered a little guy who couldn't be fully understood but possessed extraordinary treasures, it would be best to control him.
Lin Yi's ability to break free of control initially proves that he possesses the ability to be buried with extraordinary treasures. Whether the Lord of Chaos City was hesitant to act rashly or wanted to uncover Lin Yi's secrets, he decided to have further exchanges with him.
Of course, this only grants them the right to communicate; their positions are still extremely unequal.
One side simply wanted to uncover Lin Yi's secrets; if they found them, great; if not, so be it.
On the other hand, a single misstep could lead to a life-or-death crisis.
The two sides are completely unequal; the difference is like night and day!
Ultimately, it all comes down to strength!
If Lin Yi were strong enough, he wouldn't need to become the Lord of the Universe. Even if he were just a top-tier cosmic overlord like the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
The Lord of Chaos City spoke, "The first option is for you to become the deputy lord of my Chaos City. Everything about you can remain secret from everyone."
"Huh? Become the deputy city lord?!" Lin Yi was taken aback.
"May I ask, Lord City Lord, are there any additional conditions?"
The Chaos City Lord laughed, "Naturally, the first and most important thing for my deputy city lord is loyalty!"
"Chaos City is too important. I need someone absolutely loyal to be my deputy."
Absolute loyalty...?
Lin Yi couldn't think of any other means besides being enslaved by the soul to guarantee absolute loyalty!
To be enslaved by one's soul? How could Lin Yi possibly accept that!
"Lord of the city, I cannot choose this." Lin Yi said decisively.
Having reached this point, Lin Yi was no longer so timid.
The Lord of Chaos was somewhat disappointed, but unsurprisingly, given a choice, no one would want to be enslaved.
"My second option is to accept you as my personal disciple."
A direct disciple?
Not only was Lin Yi surprised, but Venerable Guiyi also looked up at his teacher in astonishment.
Over the long years, his teacher did indeed take in many disciples, but most of them were only nominal; there weren't many true disciples.
Now, they actually want to take Lin Yi, an ordinary person at the Domain Lord level, as their personal disciple. It all seems absurd.
As the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Lin Yi's rise to the top can be described as a meteoric rise!
Even though he has always been just a domain lord, in front of him, world lords and geniuses are nothing, immortals have to bow down, and even venerables have to give him some face.
This is just a tiny, insignificant benefit for a disciple of the Chaos City Lord. Cultivation resources, growth environment, power and treatment... everything will undergo earth-shattering changes.
The Domain Lord level and the Domain Lord level of the Chaos City Lord's personal disciple are completely different concepts!
"What price do I need to pay?" Lin Yi asked.
The Lord of Chaos City revealed a hint of appreciation; he genuinely felt a surge of admiration for this young fellow, Lin Yi.
They can adapt quickly when faced with a life-or-death crisis.
Faced with immense temptation, he did not lose his mind.
This mindset is extremely rare, and it already possesses the potential to become a strong person.
"I demand that you hand over the 'Bodhi Tree' as a gift for becoming my disciple!"
Lin Yi's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself,
"As expected, the Lord of Chaos City summoned me here because of the Bodhi Tree!"
When he came to the primordial universe, he had already thought about the problems he might encounter. The Bodhi tree, which could bear Bodhi fruit, was the best tool to solve these problems!
This treasure, nurtured using three purple cards, is the foundation for Lin Yi's rapid growth. Its usefulness to him is far greater than that of the orange card True God-level Palace Treasure, Fire Source Palace!
But for greater benefits, Lin Yi still came to the initial universe without hesitation.
He suppressed the smile playing on his lips, a hint of 'grief and indignation' showing on his face.
"Lord of the City, you should know from your time travel that the Bodhi tree is of great use to me!"
Not to mention that the Bodhi tree was about to bear Bodhi fruit, which would greatly enhance his innate comprehension after consumption.
The benefit of attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree alone, which can increase cultivation efficiency tenfold, is something I cannot give up!
It is my foundation!
The Lord of Chaos City said with certainty,
"Lin Yi, obey me and hand over the Bodhi tree!"
His voice carried an undeniable certainty. He traced back to Lin Yi's timeline and discovered the extraordinary nature of the Bodhi Tree. It was astonishing that it could elevate Lin Yi's talent from the level of an ordinary person on the planet to that of a genius who appears only once every million epochs!
A genius who emerges in a million-epoch era has an almost certain chance of becoming a cosmic supreme being in the future, and there is even a small probability that he will become a cosmic overlord.
If one could go a step further and become a genius like Coty, a once-in-ten-million-epoch talent, with the clan's full support, there is a small chance of becoming a top-tier cosmic overlord like the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, and even have the opportunity to challenge for the title of Universe Lord.
Even someone as chaotic as him would value such a treasure, and for the sake of his clan, he would disregard his reputation and fight with a junior like Lin Yi for it.
In fact, regardless of which of the three options Lin Yi chose, he would have to hand over the Bodhi Tree!
He paused, as if to offer some comfort.
"I'll make it up to you!"
Lin Yi said urgently.
"Oh! Compensation?!"
"Lord of the City, as a super strong person and the ruler of the human race, you must be very clear about the value of the Bodhi Tree."
"If I cultivate under this Bodhi tree every day, it's not just wishful thinking for me to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable and then a Universe Lord!"
"You won't deny that, will you?!"
Suppressing a slight ripple in his heart, the Chaos City Lord brazenly nodded.
"Indeed, as you say, but precisely because of this, we cannot allow you to enjoy the Bodhi Tree alone. Only within the human race can its benefits be maximized..."
Whether you understand this or not, it's an unchangeable fact!
The Lord of Chaos City has already envisioned cultivating the Bodhi Tree until it grows strong and planted in his City Lord's Mansion. Those geniuses who come to comprehend the Chaos Stele will benefit immensely as long as they can get even a little bit of 'Yu Yin'!
With the Bodhi Tree and the Chaos Stele, the Chaos City Lord is already envisioning a glorious era for his human race, hundreds of thousands or millions of epochs later!
One hundred thousand Venerable Ones?
The hegemon has surpassed 10,000?
The Lord of the Universe has surpassed 100?
Nothing is impossible!
When it comes to the interests of the entire community, no one can stand in the way, not even Chaos himself!
"Lin Yi, if you offer up the Bodhi Tree, I can take you as my personal disciple... and I promise to compensate you 10000 times for your future cultivation resources, even if you become a Universe Venerable or a Universe Overlord. How about it?"
