Chapter 495, Node 1: Breaking the Problem
Lin Xiaohe repeated the same words to Stardust Humans, Yuan Lang and other high-ranking officials of Blue Star, as well as Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin, and then decided to go to the nearest node alone, which was also the only node she knew.
Ying Zheng presented Lin Xiaohe with the starship [Yuan], which incorporated the latest technology of Guixu Star: "I originally wanted to name it [Ba Tu], but after thinking about it, [Yuan] is more suitable!"
【Yuan】Its entire body is pure white, with smooth lines and no trace of welding. It travels through the universe as naturally as a drop of water merging into the ocean.
Lin Xiaohe was very satisfied with this.
The farewell procession was long and impressive. Melina, the eagle-like woman, had tears welling up in her eyes again: "My Lord, are you really not taking us with you?"
Lin Xiaohe gently shook the green scepter in her hand: "Dou Dou, Xin Bao, and Xiao Hong are all coming with me. You don't need to worry about me being in danger."
The little octopus at my feet had eaten something, and its whole body was pink. One of its tentacles was holding a milk tea cup, while the others were pouring milk or cutting fruit.
Before long, the two cups of milk tea were ready and Octopus handed them to Lin Xiaohe and Melina respectively.
The tiny mouth makes a popping sound.
Lin Xiaohe took the milk tea and smiled, "This little guy is a thoughtful little secretary that Xiao Hei specially bred. If you have any urgent matters to discuss with me, you can go to Xiao Hei. He has his own way of contacting me. If I have something to discuss with you, I will also relay it through Xiao Hei."
Knowing that there was a way to contact the Lord, Melina felt half relieved: "Lord, you must be extremely careful on this journey to the key point. It is better to fail than to be unsafe."
"Haha, don't worry, this isn't my true form after all." Lin Xiaohe winked at Melina.
Melina knew the Lord's temperament; once the Lord had made a decision, he would never change it. Helpless, she could only offer her blessings: "May everything go well for you, and may you return safely."
"Hmm." Lin Xiaohe's gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Melina, Ying Zheng, and Yuan Lang for several seconds. "I'm leaving Guixu Star to you."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the silver warship quickly disappeared from sight.
No one knows where that node is, nor when the Lord will return. All they can do is protect Guixu Star and try to take over the Star Alliance before the Lord returns!
Lin Xiaohe waved her scepter, and the silver warship [Yuan] jumped every few seconds, as if space was being folded, at an astonishing speed.
After driving for about three months, Lin Xiaohe, guided by some unseen force, finally arrived at her destination.
In the center of a star field, a black stone tablet floats.
"boundary marker."
Lin Xiaohe raised an eyebrow, a hint of realization flashing in her eyes.
She had always been curious: with so many nodes set up by the divine kingdom, how could the old god suppress his own slice onto a certain node?
It turns out that he relied on the boundary marker.
Lin Xiaohe, familiar with the route, passed the boundary marker and entered the node.
At the same time, the boundary marker trembled slightly, and a faint stream of information was sent to the distance at an extremely fast speed through some imperceptible channel.
Almost half an hour after Lin Xiaohe entered the boundary marker node, the Yuan Shen Kingdom learned of this.
The second in line of succession ordered the Domain Lord responsible for guarding the node to intensify their efforts, and also dispatched three high-level Domain Lords to provide support.
"At this juncture, we are about to seize a portion of divine authority. Ideally, we could seal her within the juncture. If not, the least desirable outcome would be to reclaim divine authority."
"As ordered!"
The second in line to the throne gazed into the depths of the universe.
Four Domain Lords can easily defeat an awakened soul fragment, especially when they have already gained an absolute advantage!
He withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the battlefield of gods.
The new divine kingdom is his true enemy; the divine heir Lin Xiaohe is merely struggling in her death throes.
... "Hmm."
Lin Xiaohe let out a painful groan.
This boundary marker is quite different from the boundary marker of a primordial black hole; it strongly resists entry.
He forcibly entered the boundary marker and paid a heavy price; both the divine staff and the Heart Treasure were temporarily sealed.
A powerful soul is like an elephant trying to squeeze into a baby's sock, causing it extreme discomfort.
Lin Xiaohe had to lower her strength again and again until she was at the level of an ordinary person, just in time to avoid being rejected by this node world.
From the very beginning of the process of entering the node, Lin Xiaohe knew that this mission would be very difficult.
The original body's soul was extremely weakened and had fallen into a deep sleep, unable to be awakened.
Left with no other choice, Lin Xiaohe had to take over this body by descending into it.
Lin Xiaohe opened her eyes and saw a small room with a cement floor, a small wooden bed, a wooden desk, and a bookshelf full of books.
A celebrity poster is pasted on the wall; the female celebrity has a bright smile and retro makeup.
The style of the whole room is quite similar to that of the 90s in Donggu.
Lin Xiaohe pinched her arms and legs; she looked like an ordinary person.
"Oh dear, you're no good. Looks like you've been bullied terribly."
Alright, I'll take my own revenge.
Lin Xiaohe got out of bed, drew back the curtains, and saw that the outside world was covered in snow.
You can reach out and touch the ice and snow on the treetops.
Judging from the height, my home should be on the second floor.
Lin Xiaohe crossed her arms and looked at the sparse figures on the street, lost in thought.
The old god trapped himself in the node in order to weaken himself and steal the divine authority from him.
This world appears to be an ordinary human society. In what form would divine authority exist? And how did the other side steal it?
Just then, I heard women talking outside the door.
The old house wasn't soundproof, and Lin Xiaohe could hear their conversation clearly.
"Little sister, sigh, I don't even know how to bring this up with you." The woman's voice choked with emotion, filled with embarrassment.
"Elder sister, we're blood sisters. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Lin Xiaohe recalled her memories and judged from the voices that it should be her aunt and mother chatting.
She secretly opened the door a crack and peeked into the living room.
I saw my aunt and mother sitting on the sofa with their backs to me. My aunt's hair was tied into a small bun at the back of her head and wrapped with a floral ribbon. She had a light blue silk scarf around her neck and was wearing a red tight-fitting sweater.
She looked neat and tidy, except that her sweater had faded a bit from washing.
The aunt wiped away her tears, placed her hands on her knees, clenched them into a fist, and said with difficulty, "Little sister, I've come to borrow money from you. I know you're worried about Xiaohe's job, and that money is for bribing connections."
She felt as if her mouth weighed a ton, biting her lip hard, and said with red eyes, "If it weren't for the fact that we're really struggling to make ends meet, I would never have asked you for this."
Tears streamed down her face. "There's no other way. I can't take it anymore. Your brother-in-law and I haven't received our wages for a whole year. Since last month, we've been scavenging for rotten cabbage leaves at the market. I secretly collect the cabbage leaves that others have discarded in the middle of the night..."
"Stop talking!" Lin's mother interrupted her eldest sister, got up and went back into the house. A moment later, she took out a stack of money wrapped in paper and stuffed it into her eldest sister's hand. "We're family, no need for formalities. I grew up on your back, eldest sister, and I've always remembered that. Take this money and use it as you like, we're not in a hurry. Xiao He is a college graduate. Although there aren't many job assignments now, her husband has his own plans."
