127: Walking Alone

The absorption process was uneventful.

After absorbing, Lin Ye felt nothing.

Destiny seemed to have not played a role.

But in the depths of his being, he felt as if the whole world had become friendly towards him.

Of course, this feeling was negligible; he only detected a hint of it because his perception was astonishing.

It seems his Level is still too low.

Ability: Destiny (Beginner 0.1%)

When Lin Ye saw the word 'Beginner', he felt it was out of sync with the other abilities next to it, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in.

Panel! Add points!

He directly maxed out Destiny, and to his surprise, Destiny consumed a significant amount of points, twice that of a normal Star Level skill, directly depleting the skill points he had saved for two months.

Oh my goodness.

It's truly not easy to grab the hem of the Goddess of Destiny's skirt.

Now, that feeling of the whole world being friendly towards him had become intensely tangible.

That's right, he, Lin Ye, is now the Son of Destiny, the kind of protagonist who stands out anywhere.

Yang Hongyu saw him finish absorbing, gave a few instructions, and then told him to leave.

Greenhouses cannot produce brilliant flowers; a young man must endure the trials of wind and rain to become a hegemon.

Before Lin Ye left, Yang Hongyu reminded him, "Everything should prioritize your personal safety."

Lin Ye nodded, secretly moved.

After Lin Ye left, Yang Hongyu stroked his chin, feeling like he had forgotten something.

Oh, right, marriage urging!

This kid's current seed is incredibly rare; the offspring born from him can inherit his bloodline.

This is a great opportunity to raise the overall genetic level of humanity!

If done well, in the future, newborn human infants could all possess qualities surpassing those of dragons.

Darn it, I forgot to mention it.

But it doesn't matter, I'll plan for this kid first.

Yang Hongyu sat in his office, looking a bit troubled for a moment.

The guard who brought tea and snacks was moved again; Director Yang is truly dedicated, those tightly locked brows really make one's heart ache.

Little did he know, Yang Hongyu was pondering who would be Lin Ye's most suitable match.

.......

With his strength enhanced, Lin Ye returned to Gray Mist City full of confidence.

Upon investigation, there had been no recent activity from the Demon Clan.

The Alien Beasts indeed form a very perfect defense line.

The Alien Beasts in the Star Realm are as numerous as cattle hair, and their strength is formidable; they are the true masters of the Star Realm.

The Demon Clan will need to expend considerable effort to deal with these Alien Beasts.

At least, humans have been slaughtering Alien Beasts for so long, and their numbers have never decreased.

Even if the Demon Clan came out in full force, it would probably take them a lot of time.

So, for now, humans are safe.

Some even harbored aLuck mentality, thinking that the Demon Clan might just keep fighting the Alien Beasts until the gray mist dissipates and the passage between Hell and the Star Realm disappears.

Lin Ye did not think so.

Rather than entrusting the chance of survival to the enemy's mercy, it's better to strive oneself.

Now he has an important matter to deal with.

"Captain, you're leaving?" Ily asked in surprise.

The other teammates also frowned.

Lin Ye was undoubtedly a very competent leader; he not only led them to earn a lot of money but also ensured there was little danger.

At this moment, hearing that Lin Ye was leaving, they were all filled with reluctance.

Profit was one aspect, but so was emotion; although they had only been together for a few months, there was some affection.

Lin Ye said helplessly, "After my breakthrough, I might be involved in many solo operations."

This was just Lin Ye's excuse.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Lin Ye's strength had undergone a qualitative change, and they were already far behind him.

The 7th-tier Lin Ye could already overpower all of them, and now at 8th-tier, his strength had undergone an even greater qualitative change.

"Captain, we will miss you."

"You must make a name for yourself, Captain."

Amidst everyone's farewells, Lin Ye still left.

For a moment, he felt a pang of sadness.

He seemed to be progressing too quickly.

The team in Magic City had been together for two months, and then he didn't join because he went to play professional games.

The professional team, he only stayed for one season, then he left the professional arena.

The Star Realm team, he only stayed for a few months, then he left because his strength skyrocketed, and they couldn't adapt to his power.

Subtly, he had some realization that strong individuals always walk alone.

It's not that strong people are reclusive or cold, but that there's no one around who can keep up with their pace.

It seems he is not suited for teaming up.

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

No one likes to walk alone.

It's just helplessness.

After this, he no longer plans to join any team; being a team of one seems to be the best choice.

"Bipo ~"

Xiao Bai's voice came from his Soul.

Lin Ye suddenly smiled.

"Haha, I forgot about you, little guy, we are the best partners!"

Lin Ye felt warmth in his heart.

With Xiao Bai's companionship, it seems pretty good.

He tidied his mood and continued forward.

A new beginning, everything must start from scratch.

First is the problem of finding a house.

He can't just stay in a hotel every day, can he?

Hotels don't offer much privacy, which isn't suitable for someone like him, who has many secrets.

Buying would be too much of a loss.

None of the properties he owned seemed to last more than half a year before being quickly sold for cash.

Indeed, where does a lone traveler need a home?

It's a pity that housing prices are so low now; it's too bad not to buy at the bottom.

Because of the Demon Clan's influence, no one knows when Gray Mist City will disappear.

So, there are a lot of houses for sale on the market.

But no one is a fool; everyone is shrewd. Except for gamblers buying at the bottom, others are unmoved.

If he doesn't want to buy, then he'll rent one.

Although renting also carries the risk of privacy leakage, it's much more reliable than a hotel.

And the price is also cheaper.

Although he is very rich, he can't spend money recklessly.

He found an agent and chose to rent a house from an acquaintance.

Staying in the Star Realm for a long time means having many acquaintances. You need partners to execute missions, right? You have comrades guarding against demons, right? It's very reasonable to often encounter people while browsing the Hall of Stars, right?

Plus, Ability Users generally have good memories, so they basically know each other.

This acquaintance had guarded 0021 with Lin Ye; his character was very reliable, fearless on the battlefield, and loyal.

When the other party saw it was Lin Ye, his admiration was simply like a continuous, surging river.

He enthusiastically entertained Lin Ye and even asked for an autograph.

A simple rental turned into a fan meeting.

When discussing the rent, the other party offered to waive it, saying he was happy to have his idol stay there.

But Lin Ye was not one to freeload, so he paid the market price.

"Idol, can we take a picture together?"

Lin Ye looked amusedly at the burly man in front of him, whose eyes were filled with fanaticism.

He was a 9th-tier after all, why was he acting like a young girl?

Lin Ye did not refuse.

The photo was naturally taken with a Shadow Stone, a rune black technology.

Using a Shadow Stone worth millions just for a photo, fans are really willing to spend.

And his particular one wasn't just any Shadow Stone; it was a good quality one worth tens of millions.

At this moment, Lin Ye naturally didn't know that the burly man's family relied on that house, autograph, and photo, which were passed down for tens of thousands of years.

After settling all of this, Lin Ye began to train silently, waiting for the War to arrive.
