Chapter 1336 1302: The Cyan Dragon City Lord Babylon's Request

"You've broken through to demigodhood?!"

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Cyan Dragon City, City Lord Babylon looked at the man before him with a complex expression and suddenly sighed:

"Do you remember the first time we met? Back then, you were only at First Transformation (Lv10)."

"I never imagined that in just two short years, you now possess strength that rivals mine."

Looking at the man before him, Lin Yi expressed his heartfelt gratitude:

"I owe much of this to the continuous support from the City Lord; otherwise, I wouldn't be who I am now."

Indeed!

Back when Lin Yi received the task from the Elf Race's Great Elder Gamplov to acquire the [World Tree Branch], if not for Babylon 'purposely' easing the way, perhaps there wouldn't be the Lin Yi of today.

No doubt about it.

In this life, all things began to undergo dramatic changes after Lin Yi became the Clan Leader of the Elf Race.

Also, throughout the subsequent phases of the game, Babylon's assistance to Lin Yi was evident for all to see.

Expressing gratitude was not Lin Yi's strong suit.

What Lin Yi could do was to do everything in his power to help safeguard Cyan Dragon City from the invasion of the Demon Race.

Of course, the same applied to the other three major cities.

The city lords of the four major cities all helped Lin Yi significantly.

Lin Yi didn't care what their motives were for helping him because regardless of their objectives, it couldn't erase the genuine help they had provided him.

Therefore, right after Lin Yi broke through to demigodhood, Babylon summoned him over.

It was still in the same setting.

In less than two years, the statuses of the two had undergone tremendous changes.

Lin Yi's power was now on par with Babylon.

And as the Master of the Holy City, Lin Yi's reputation and level among the Hundred Races surpassed Babylon by a notch.

Moreover, it's said that the Sixth Princess whom Babylon previously wanted to introduce to Lin Yi has now married a prince from White Tiger City.

That's also why Babylon hadn't mentioned wanting Lin Yi to be a son-in-law for quite some time.

Of course.

Despite the significant shift in both their statuses, Lin Yi's attitude remained the same, consistently showing due respect to Babylon.

Lin Yi knew Babylon wouldn't summon him here for no reason.

Hence, even before Babylon spoke, Lin Yi proactively asked:

"By the way."

"City Lord, you didn't call me here just for old times' sake, did you?"

Speaking of the matter at hand, Babylon, who was previously filled with emotion, suddenly regained composure.

He sat up straight in the city lord's seat, his brow showing deep concern as he looked towards the world outside the city gates.

His eyes at that moment seemed capable of piercing through the void, and he suddenly turned to Lin Yi:

"There's something I'd like you to help with."

Lin Yi was taken aback by the words, not expecting Babylon to be so formal.

Given the relationship between the two, as long as Babylon asked, Lin Yi would never refuse to do anything within his power.

But since Babylon said this, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and replied directly:

"Please tell me."

There was no need for excessive pleasantries between the two.

Simultaneously, Lin Yi was curious about what matter would compel Babylon to request assistance.

Babylon then straightforwardly said:

"Are you aware of the situation with the Hundred Races now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi pondered briefly and then nodded:

"I'm aware."

Though Lin Yi had been intensely leveling up these past three months.

He wasn't entirely cut off from the world and still kept an eye on the latest developments in the game every day.

As for the situation with the Hundred Races now, he couldn't say he entirely understood, but it was at least within expectations.

Babylon suddenly said:

"I know among you Chosen Ones, there are numerous factions (countries), and competition exists among the factions."

After saying this, Babylon paused.

Then, as Lin Yi looked on in confusion, Babylon suddenly turned his gaze at Lin Yi and said:

"I hope you'll consider the greater good of the people of the Hundred Races and, setting aside the barriers among your factions, unite the Hundred Races!"

When Babylon spoke those final four words, his tone was notably firm and resolute.

However, when Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief:

"Unite the Hundred Races?"

Lin Yi looked at the serious expression of Babylon.

If the other weren't the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City, Lin Yi might have doubted whether he was joking.

And perhaps identifying something from Lin Yi's expression, Babylon suddenly asked him in return:

"Do you think it's impossible?"

Lin Yi directly stared into Babylon's eyes and asked:

"Do you think it's feasible?"

This is about uniting a hundred races, not just the dozen races in the Hua Country War Zone.

Besides those within the Hua Country War Zone, Lin Yi was quite unfamiliar with the races from other zones.

Getting Lin Yi to unite these races doesn't even consider whether the races will agree.

Even the players in those zones wouldn't agree to such an absurd possibility.

This unity isn't about gathering all the races to discuss things together.

What Babylon meant by unity was for Lin Yi to become the leader of these races, managing all of them jointly.

Including the main cities in each battle zone.

This seemingly absurd possibility was beyond Lin Yi's imagination.

Yet, unexpectedly, Babylon brought it up so seriously.

But facing Lin Yi's confusion, even before Babylon spoke, spatial fluctuations suddenly emerged around Lin Yi.

Soon, familiar figures traversed the void to arrive:

Nidya, the City Lord of Vermilion Bird City: "Vermilion Bird City is the first to support this."

Aiborn, City Lord of Black Tortoise City: "Count Black Tortoise City in."

Montero, City Lord of White Tiger City: "As long as you take action, nothing is impossible."

Gamplov, Great Elder of Elf Race: "To rejuvenate the Hundred Races, unity against external threats is the only path. I support it."

Kamoda, Clan Leader of the Giant Race: "The Giant Race will give its full support to the Clan Leader."

Bruce, Great Elder of Titan Race: "I believe this will be the honor of the Hundred Races."

Hera, Clan Leader of Enchanting Demon Race: "From now on, you are the Clan Leader of the Enchanting Demon Race."

System: "Congratulations, you have obtained the Enchanting Demon Race Seal, [Blood Jade Lv0 Myth] upgraded to [Enchanting Demon Blood Soul Jade Lv0 Demigod Artifact]."

System: "Congratulations, you have acquired a new title, 'Enchanting Demon Race Clan Leader'."

System: "Congratulations, you unlocked new authority [Enchanting Demon Race Management]."

Sherman, Great Elder of Winged Race: "Our Winged Race firmly supports the Clan Leader, restoring the Hundred Races."

Harlington, Clan Leader of Lizard Race: "The Lizard Race is willing to offer Wind Hua as the leader of our race!"

System: "Congratulations, you have obtained the Lizard Race Seal [Heart of the Lizardman Lv0 Myth]."

System: "Congratulations, you have acquired a new title, 'Lizard Race Clan Leader'."

...

Listening to the continuous system notifications and seeing numerous familiar faces.

In an instant, Lin Yi's heart was filled with mixed emotions, unsure of how to react.

However, at that moment, more people kept appearing:

Sigmund, Dragon Race's Great Elder, Will, Clan Leader of Werewolf Race, Lael, Clan Leader of Goblin Race, Edward Gibson, City Lord of Ussuri City, Harrison, City Lord of Galia City, ...

Soon, the once empty hall was filled.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Yi with expectations, but instead of a sense of glory and honor.

Lin Yi felt a burden, akin to the weight of a mountain, filled with responsibility and mission.

If possible.

Lin Yi truly wanted to smile bitterly and refuse.

Because he never regarded himself as a so-called Savior, having to undertake the honorable mission of rejuvenating the Hundred Races.

Everything Lin Yi did was driven by gratitude for the help he received and a determination to do what he could.

Lin Yi understood his own limitations and acted within those boundaries.

But he never intended to shoulder such a significant burden or play the Savior role saving the Hundred Races.

Yet the words of refusal were stuck in Lin Yi's throat, and seeing those familiar faces filled with hope around him, Lin Yi suddenly felt like he was being forced into a leadership position.

Lin Yi thought helplessly:

"I just came out to break through to demigodhood..."
