Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 895 182: Academy Great Mage Gulian Falls in Battle!

Regarding the druids' request, Lin Rui refused without hesitation: "I think you have some unrealistic expectations of me. A ten-minute blessing guaranteeing my escape is already difficult enough, there's no way to kill this monster."

The key issue is that the guardian spirit doesn't have any offensive capabilities. If it could attack, Lin Rui would have tried.

After all, if the guardian spirit doesn't make a move, Lin Rui would have to rely on his vast army to confront this blood-red shadow.

As the Lord, he certainly doesn't want his troops to suffer severe casualties.

But isn't the problem that while the ideal is rich, the reality is painfully lacking?

He's willing but powerless.

However, the druids still refused to give up: "Lord Lin Rui, as you said, this blessing lasts only ten minutes. Can you escape this monster in ten minutes? With the distance from here to the World Tree being so significant, how far can you go even if you move at full speed?"

"Probably," Lin Rui replied optimistically. Now that the Shadow Sky Curtain has been broken, Audrey can bring forth a large number of Crimson Heavy Armored Dragon Riders anytime.

A Tier Seven giant dragon's flying speed is considerable, especially after acceleration. Audrey rides the dragon, and he holds onto her; in an instant, they can fly tens of thousands of meters.

If this pesky shadow of evil wasn't so persistent, there might be a sliver of a chance to escape.

After all, there's a divine spirit backing him, and both the elemental keystones and plane crystal cores have been lost in this world, allowing the divine spirit to intervene with various divine powers.

As long as the goddess is willing to pay the price, Lin Rui has a chance to escape.

In any case, the probability is much more reliable than him killing the monster alone.

The druid, however, said: "Lord Lin Rui, I know you worry about not being able to kill the monster alone, but we don't expect you to fight solo. You can continue to advance our rise plan. Now the monster's strength has reached 88.6% of this world's limit. If it kills another batch of strong individuals, its strength will exceed 100% and it will be forcibly elevated from the colonization star."

After hearing the druid's plan, Lin Rui finally sorted out all the details.

No wonder the elves have been strengthening the shadow of evil's power since entering the battlefield. The elves intended to remove the humans while their side was secure under the World Vine's protection, using the shadow of evil.

Then they would send away the shadow of evil through the rise plan.

However, the elves anticipated changes but didn't expect this many changes. The biggest issue was that the elves didn't realize their Empress would take away the Earth Vein Crystal Core and Plane Crystal Core, leaving the World Vine unsupported.

But now that the rise plan has reached 88.6%, it's indeed worth continuing.

So, after hearing the druid's explanation, Lin Rui looked at him and asked, "Are you suggesting... I sacrifice this guardian spirit?"

If the blood-red shadow kills this guardian spirit, whose strength is nearly equal to its own, the absorbed blood energy will greatly increase its strength to an undeniable level, forcing it to ascend to the Upper Realm.

The druid nodded and said, "This is actually the safest method. No matter how powerful the blood-red shadow is, it can't resist this kind of power of rules."

It has to be said, among the elves, there are indeed many talented people. Their plan is flawless, ensuring the blood-red shadow cannot resist this overt scheme.

However, the premise of such an overt scheme is unity within their own forces. The elves fractured internally, taking away the most crucial keystone, causing the plan to ultimately fail.

Now, they can only rely on Lin Rui's vigorous force to continue advancing everything.

Audrey worriedly asked, "Father, if you really sacrificed this guardian spirit, are you sure the Goddess of Fortune won't get upset? She spared no expense to send you a guardian spirit to protect you, and you end up sacrificing it to a monster... I think even with a good temper, the Goddess of Fortune might have a little emotion?"

Lin Rui waved his hand and asked, "If I sacrificed your summoned creature, would you get angry?"

"Me?" Audrey immediately patted her chest and said, "Father, I would absolutely not get angry with you over such a small matter. As long as you're happy, it's okay to sacrifice them all."

"Then the goddess won't be angry either," Lin Rui comforted himself: "Besides, as long as I give her a precious gift, I believe she won't mind such trivial details."

"A precious gift?"

"The Eye of Darkness!"

If sacrificing her Celestial Kingdom Armament is to seize the elemental keystone from the blood-red shadow, then the Goddess of Fortune absolutely has no reason to get angry.

As for how much benefit he ultimately got in acquiring the Eye of Darkness, that's not important, and the goddess won't inquire.

The Eye of Darkness alone is enough to satisfy her.

Lin Rui checked the side quests and divine revelation tasks accumulated previously.

[Plane War Side Quest II: Absolute Light has been activated: Light is revered by the world, darkness feared by the world; yet both are the true faces of the world. In absolute darkness, there is always absolute light; in absolute brightness, there is always absolute darkness lurking. The boundary between light and darkness is blurred; they transform into each other to form a unique balance. The greedy desires, the forces of evil, have corroded the plane's Power of Origin. The secrets of the planet's mother have been mercilessly unveiled by her children. Is this the sinking and humiliation of the entire plane? Or the carnival feast of another plane?
