Chapter 1538: Netting All Eight Lord Gods! Transformation of Flame Form!

"Bad!"

The Lord of Light's face turned pale.

Lin Yan arrived too quickly.

As if he had long been prepared!

Lin Yan had indeed been prepared all along.

In his plan against the Shadow, Lin Yan had two strategies.

One was if the Lord of Light and the others did not emerge—then Lin Yan would still strike the Shadow, though this strategy would be far more difficult.

After all, even though he knew the Shadow's weaknesses, even though he possessed Time Power, even though his Flame Form was immensely strong, his Flame Form had still not reached the next level.

Level-8 Final Flame, with the right combination of techniques, could still fight.

But this battle would be even harder, and unforeseen variables might arise.

After all, the Shadow was too powerful.

Yet no matter how strong, he had to fight—Lin Yan's mind had already been arranged according to this strategy.

Always assume the worst-case scenario.

And Lin Yan's other strategy was exactly this.

After revealing his Flame Form, the Lord of Light and the others sensed Lin Yan was an aberrant god, felt their opportunity had come, and emerged to reap!

Lin Yan had performed countless derivations of these two strategies within his Divine Core.

With his current strength, he could even collect data from this world and create a virtual miniature world for derivation.

It was like loading all data, then waiting for events to unfold.

This was equivalent to predicting the future.

Though Time Power could rewind time, it could not be used to see the future, because the future held too many possibilities—the future you saw was never your own.

The true future cannot be seen; it changes every instant.

If this world's timeline were not unique, and if countless parallel universes existed, perhaps one could enter the future of a parallel universe through Time Rules.

But the problem was, this world had no parallel universes—its timeline was singular, so even Lin Yan could not use Time Rules to see or enter the future.

In truth, he didn't need to.

Because everything in the future develops from the present.

Even an ordinary person, after gathering vast amounts of data, could predict the future—and such predictions were often reasonably accurate, as long as unexpected variables were few.

For example, if a student studied fiercely for months before an exam, one could predict their score would not be poor.

Lin Yan's derivations were far more rigorous.

He did not derive once.

He derived countless times.

In each of these countless derivations, the Lord of Light's choices differed.

Sometimes they emerged; sometimes they did not.

In the end, the probability of the Lord of Light emerging or not emerging was exactly fifty-fifty.

Thus, Lin Yan could only plan for the worst-case scenario.

But what Lin Yan had not anticipated was that the Lord of Light's choice gave him a surprise.

They actually came out!

And not only did they come out—they dragged out his allies, the Abyssal Lords as well.

Moreover, they revealed to Lin Yan an unstable variable: the Lord of Darkness!

A full eight Lord Gods!

To Lin Yan, this was a gift from heaven.

So he intended to swallow it whole.

He too would reap!

Lin Yan had not told Xi Hua this strategy—he only told her that once he gave a clear signal, she would act to suppress the Shadow.

Originally, if the Lord of Light and the others had not emerged, Xi Hua's strike would have been the signal for Lin Yan to attack the Shadow.

But now, after Xi Hua struck, Lin Yan no longer joined her in besieging the Shadow—he turned to attack the Lord of Light and the others.

At the edge of the black hole, Xi Hua unleashed repeated strikes, forcing the Shadow to roar in agony.

Though she did not understand why, after she acted, Lin Yan chose to target a few insignificant Lord Gods, Xi Hua still honored her agreement with Lin Yan.

Help him suppress the Shadow!

On the other side, after Lin Yan's Flame surged once, it engulfed all eight Lord Gods.

His power now was no longer what it once was.

Back when his Final Flame was Level 3, combined with Time Power, it had instantly killed the Lord of Destruction.

Now his Final Flame was Level 8!

Yet even so, the combined might of the eight Lord Gods was rapidly shattering Lin Yan's spatial seal.

After all, spatial sealing was merely a Lord God-level ability.

"Use Time Power."

Lin Yan whispered.

Lin Yan's Time Power could now last ten seconds, and would not enter cooldown until those ten seconds were fully spent.

To prevent the eight Lord Gods from scattering and fleeing, Lin Yan activated Time Power directly.

After all, Xi Hua could not suppress the Shadow indefinitely.

And once Lin Yan netted all eight Lord Gods, even without Time Power, he could break through to the next stage of his Flame Form.

At that time, Lin Yan had absolute confidence that even without time power, he could coordinate with Xi Hua to fully suppress the shadow.

Moreover, killing these eight main gods would use up far less than ten seconds of time power.

A few seconds are enough!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan immediately activated time power.

As soon as time power activated, the entire world slowed down in Lin Yan's eyes, as if completely frozen.

The eight main gods had just broken through the spatial seal and were preparing to scatter and flee.

Without time power, Lin Yan could still chase and kill them one by one, but now, there was no need for such trouble.

"Boom!"

Flames erupted.

Under the effect of time power, the eight main gods had no resistance at all against Lin Yan's flames and were instantly engulfed.

Then, Lin Yan directly infused two divine powers.

He immediately pushed the flames to their maximum.

"Boom!"

Flames erupted again.
