"Where is this?"

A voice filled with confusion and bewilderment suddenly reached the ears of Red Eyes and the others.

The group was utterly shocked to see.

After a surge of energy poured into the array, numerous fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Pet Egg.

At that moment, with a "snap..."

The Pet Egg broke open.

Then, a wave of energy floated out from the Pet Egg.

Under everyone's incredibly shocked and stunned gaze.

This energy gradually formed into a seductive woman with a height of one meter seventy.

Xiao He saw the woman's exquisite face and her flawless skin that seemed to ripple at a touch and was so shocked that he blurted out:

"So beautiful!"

While everyone was stunned by the appearance of this pet, a [World Announcement] immediately caused a sensation among players worldwide.

[World Announcement] System: "Player..."

[World Announcement] System: "Player..."

The moment the bright red font flooded the screen, players worldwide were in an uproar.

Not only did Red Eyes and the others stand there stunned.

Even Nidya looked at the Poison Queen within the array with a slight sense of bewilderment, muttering to herself:

"She is actually an Otherworld creature?"

Handsome simply lamented and cried loudly:

"Legendary humanoid combat pet, boohoo~"

"What did I miss!"

…

…

At this moment, Lin Yi was still unaware of what was happening here.

After returning to the Nine Nether Continent, a wave of weakness swept over him.

Lin Yi could only weakly lie in bed, waiting for the Divine Son selection to start the next day.

At this time, Jialan Imperial Capital seemed extraordinarily lively, with endless speculation about the Divine Son selection candidates.

Of course, there was also much discussion about Lin Yi, the emerging Jialan King.

Before Lin Yi appeared, the most favored candidate to obtain the Divine Son position was:

The magical genius cultivated by the Mage Guild: Sikong Tingzhi, a late-stage Fire Element Magic Emperor (Tier Seven Lv78↑);

The Ao Sheng Empire's Eldest Prince: Charles, an early-stage Earth Element Magic Emperor (Tier Seven Lv70↑);

The Crown Prince of the Jialan Empire: Gongsun Zhi, a mid-stage Sword Emperor (Tier Seven Lv75↑);

The Eldest Princess of the Purple Moon Empire: Jun Moqian, a mid-stage Ice Element Magic Emperor (Tier Seven Lv75↑);

In addition, representatives from various duchies, kingdoms, and even the Alchemist Guild and Blacksmith Guild were also participating in the Divine Son selection.

It is said that the number of people involved in the Divine Son selection reached hundreds, gathering all the top talents of the Nine Nether Continent.

However, Lin Yi's sudden appearance heightened people's interest in the Divine Son selection to an unprecedented level.

All across Jialan Imperial Capital's streets and alleys, people were discussing the contents of the Divine Son selection.

They were all guessing who could stand out and become the new Divine Son of the Vatican this time.

…

…

Ling Yudao looked at the stubborn face before him with a difficult expression:

"I don't agree."

"With your strength, what can you achieve even if you go?"

"Tomorrow, you're not allowed to go anywhere."

Having said that, he slammed the door in anger and left.

Ling Yuwei stood dumbfounded in the room, listening to Ling Yudao's voice coming from outside:

"Before the Divine Son selection begins tomorrow, the young lady must not step out of the room."

"Did you all hear me?"

Soon, a deep voice came from outside:

"Rest assured, Pavilion Master."

Ling Yudao stood in the open space outside the door, looking at the tightly closed door, speaking in an unusually stern tone:

"This Divine Son selection is far from simple."

"Your mother's whereabouts are still unknown, I absolutely cannot allow you to have any more accidents."

"Given his capabilities, you'll only hinder him if you go."

"Now, just stay in the room and calm down."

Having said that, Ling Yudao swept away.

During this time, Ling Yuwei sat on a wooden chair with a forlorn expression, biting her lips but not uttering a word.

An entire night's time quickly passed.

When the sun rose and shone on the earth the next day.

This massive ancient city of Jialan Imperial Capital began to awaken like an ancient giant.

People appeared on streets and alleys one after another.

Street shops opened their doors early to greet the new day.

Lin Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken by a knock on the door.

Then, Jarvis's voice came from outside:

"Master Lin, are you awake?"

"Breakfast is ready for you."

"After breakfast, we need to head to the Vatican Square outside the city to meet up."

"We are afraid we'll miss the start time of the Divine Son selection if we're late."

Lin Yi shook his head, still seeming somewhat weak:

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yi checked his state:

[Weakness]

Weakness: All attributes -90%, lasting 24 hours (cannot be dispelled).

End countdown: 07:36:25

"Still more than seven hours?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi seemed a bit helpless.

Dragging this weak body, Lin Yi sincerely worried if he would be eliminated in the first round.

According to this world's time calculation.

The Divine Son selection is scheduled to start at eleven in the morning.

It should be around seven a.m. now.

So by the time the Divine Son selection begins, the weakness would still last over three hours!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's face was full of helplessness:

"Darn it!"

Now Lin Yi could only hope the first round doesn't involve immediate fighting.

Otherwise, with his current state.

Even a random strongman could knock him down.

Thinking this, Lin Yi sat on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath.

When Jarvis opened the door and saw Lin Yi's condition, he was greatly surprised:

"Master Lin, you..."

Jarvis originally thought Lin Yi was injured yesterday and should recover after a night's rest.

But seeing Lin Yi still in a slump, he became a little at a loss.

To know Lin Yi was like this, all because of him!

If Lin Yi misses the Divine Son position because of this, Jarvis felt an inescapable guilt.

When Lin Yi saw Jarvis's expression, how could he not know what Jarvis was thinking?

Lin Yi gave an indifferent smile:

"Don't just stand there."

"Hurry and help me eat breakfast."

"I'm really hungry."

Jarvis hurriedly came forward to assist Lin Yi:

"Master Lin."

Lin Yi couldn't help but comfort:

"It's not your fault."

"Even if it weren't you, I would have done the same."

As Jarvis helped Lin Yi out of the attic, a hand suddenly reached out from beside and grasped Lin Yi's other hand.

Lin Yi looked at the person who came in surprise:

"Miss Ling, why are you..."
