Only after dealing with Ming Yuexin and destroying Divine Nation could Lin Mo continue carrying out his bigger plans.
After all, he had not returned through rebirth just for revenge.
In this life, he wanted to become the strongest in Divine Oracle.
Because only by becoming strong enough could he once again explore the [Ninth Heaven Divine Domain].
And perhaps uncover the secret behind Divine Oracle devouring the real world.
His thoughts returned to the present.
Lin Mo knew very clearly: tonight's plan had to succeed in one attempt. There could be no mistakes.
So he had to make full preparations.
Through his second identity, Lin Mo had already contacted Gao Han, the president of Golden Age Guild, and secured control over Golden Age Guild's mobilization rights.
The facts proved that the groundwork laid by his second identity earlier had not been wasted.
Gao Han already placed great importance on the strength of "Mo."
Just like Ming Yuexin valued Lin Mo.
Gao Han would do everything he could to satisfy all of Mo's requests in order to keep him stable within his guild.
That was why Gao Han had readily agreed to Mo's request.
However, Lin Mo felt, 'Golden Age Guild alone probably isn't enough.'
Because Divine Nation itself already had a scale of ten thousand people.
And Dragon Soul was Divine Nation's ally. Once war broke out tonight, there was no guarantee Dragon Soul would not come support Divine Nation.
At that point, Divine Nation would gain another fifteen hundred powerful helpers from Dragon Soul Guild, all at professional-level standards.
On this side, Chaotic World + Blood Dance + Golden Age only barely totaled ten thousand people.
Even with Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and his second identity as three SSS-rank talent holders, plus Lu Ye, an A-rank hidden class and A-rank talent holder, they still might not be able to firmly suppress Divine Nation.
Because the biggest issue was this: the magic scroll Death Seal only lasted for one hour.
Which meant the battle had to be finished within one hour.
That made the pressure much higher.
"To be safe, I still need to recruit another ally on the scale of Golden Age Guild."
As the third target Lin Mo planned to recruit after Lu Ye and Zhao Lingyun: Yu Jin.
Not only was Yu Jin personally very strong, but the scale of his guild, Mortal Dust World, was also quite large.
He was a good choice.
Unfortunately, there was no longer enough time.
'Chaotic World is already collecting hoes at full speed. In a few hours at most, they'll be ready to fully advance into the Blood Mine.'
'In such a short time, clearing out the traitors in Yu Jin' guild, gaining his trust, and recruiting him... there's no time.'
Lin Mo sighed, 'That Ironblood Guild is actually pretty good too. Too bad they're enemies with Golden Age. I doubt they'd be willing to cooperate with Golden Age.'
Just as Lin Mo felt some regret over this, suddenly, through the shared vision of his second identity that he had been watching the whole time, Lin Mo saw something happen on Zhao Lingyun's side.

[West of Inferno City]
[Lv52 Mass Graveyard (Black Iron Rank 2)]
BOOM!
As level 51 Arcane Mage Zhao Lingyun waved her staff, a magic orb blasted and killed the level 52 monster Rotten Corpse in front of her, which she had finally worn down after a huge effort.
At the moment the Rotten Corpse fell dead.
Clatter!
A black stone rolled out from the corpse.
Zhao Lingyun hurried over and picked up the stone.
She said happily, "The last Corpse Core, finally complete."
"All the materials are finally gathered. I can finally craft the equipment. As long as I make this piece of equipment, my strength will improve."
"Then in the world of Divine Oracle, I'll be able to support myself and earn money with my own hands."
It turned out that in order to craft a tier-3 piece of equipment, Zhao Lingyun had spent an entire day collecting all kinds of materials.
And all of this had been seen clearly by Lin Mo's second identity, which had been hidden nearby the whole time.
Lin Mo had only given the second identity the order to protect her and had not told him to help.
Because Zhao Lingyun being able to regain confidence through her own efforts was a good thing. If Lin Mo stepped in blindly, it would instead damage her confidence.
Right now, Lin Mo was not worried about anything else.
The only thing he worried about was Zhao Lingyun doing something foolish.
So before Lin Mo entered the Divine Tomb and found a royal bloodline of the God Clan to awaken Zhao Lingyun's SS-rank talent, it was necessary to let her maintain confidence and hope in life.
Zhao Lingyun put the Corpse Core into her backpack.
Just as she was about to leave the Mass Graveyard and return to the city to craft equipment, a group of players suddenly appeared outside the graveyard and blocked her path.
Leading the group was a greasy and overweight level 52 Berserker middle-aged man: [Smile At Life]
That's right, he was Director Zhang.
Traveling with him were players from Breeze Studio.
Director Zhang had come prepared.
He had been holding in a stomach full of anger, and now that he had finally seen Zhao Lingyun, he finally had a chance to vent it.
Director Zhang looked at Zhao Lingyun and mocked her in a sarcastic tone, "What's this, all alone?"
"Where's your new boyfriend, Mo? Don't tell me he already dumped you after such a short time?"
"Did he find out that in real life you're a cripple with only one leg, and in Divine Oracle you're a useless mage without talent, so he threw you away?"
Amid Director Zhang's ridicule and the laughter from the Breeze Studio players, Zhao Lingyun tightly gripped her left leg, which had no feeling and was like a prosthetic limb. Her face immediately turned red, and she felt too ashamed to face anyone.
At that moment, Director Zhang arrogantly continued speaking to Zhao Lingyun, "Zhao Lingyun! I'll give you one more chance. As long as you agree to sleep with me tonight, I'll generously forgive you this time."
"Your dad and mom begged me over and over because of that 180,000 bride price before I reluctantly agreed to give you this chance."
"Otherwise, a woman like you? Once disloyal, will be never accepted again."
After playing both soft and hard tactics, Director Zhang then threatened Zhao Lingyun, "Of course, you can refuse. The choice is yours. I won't force you."
"But if someone bullies you in Divine Oracle later, then maybe no one will protect you anymore. You understand what I mean, right?"
"You want to use Divine Oracle to prove your worth, but if someone cuts off your path in Divine Oracle, what do you think your future will look like?"
In her mind, Zhao Lingyun recalled the strange looks people gave her whenever she walked on one leg.
The repeated job rejections because of her disability.
And the constant scolding and pressure from her parents every day.
At this moment, Zhao Lingyun truly felt fear.
She desperately wanted to prove her worth precisely so she could escape this kind of life.
'I never want to go back to living like this again.'
'But rather than spend my whole life with someone like Director Zhang, I'd rather die and end it all.'
Just as Zhao Lingyun felt hopeless toward society, her family, and her future, and even began thinking about ending her life, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, "Who says no one will protect her?"
Zhao Lingyun turned around.
Reflected in her clear eyes was a figure filled with light, dazzling like the bright sun in the sky.
He walked to Zhao Lingyun's side and reached out to shield her behind him.
Through his second identity, "Mo," Lin Mo looked at Director Zhang and the Breeze Studio players ahead and said word by word, "Starting today, whoever touches Zhao Ling'er..."
"Dies."
