Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After the test was completed, Lin Yi put away the [Black and White Rose] with satisfaction.

Instead of heading to the attribute enhancement hall or the skill upgrade silo, he first contacted two people via the brand communication system—the Ancient One and the Witch.

"There's a shipment, quite a large quantity. Can your two companies handle it?" Lin Yi asked succinctly.

I received a reply shortly after the message was sent.

Both the ancients and the witch had some idea of ​​Lin Yi's current "harvest" ability, and the amount he described as "not small" was definitely not an ordinary number.

Gu Lao asked directly through the communication channel: "The 'not small' you mentioned, roughly how many people can it arm? I need to estimate it and consider whether to use a... higher-level channel."

His tone carried a hint of caution. Gu Gu had indeed recently made contact with a top-tier merchant guild in the void, but this favor was becoming increasingly rare. If the transaction amount was insufficient to make the other party take it seriously, it would be a waste of precious resources.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi contacted Su Xiao instead: "I'm preparing to ship some goods. The distribution channels should be large enough. Do you want to join me?"

Su Xiao replied quickly, with just one word: "Okay."

He had just contacted the God Emperor and others, but the result was as expected, which was not satisfactory.

Although the Divine Emperor Adventure Team is a large adventure team, the amount it can absorb is quite limited. Compared to the mountain of resources in Su Xiao's hands, it is just a drop in the ocean.

Selling them separately in smaller quantities is feasible, but it's too inefficient and doesn't meet Su Xiao's expectations.

Since Lin Yi has a more convenient channel, he is naturally happy to save himself the trouble.

After receiving confirmation from Su Xiao, Lin Yi replied to Gu Lao: "Roughly estimated, there are enough epic-level individual sets to equip two standard six-person elite teams, plus a large number of various items, as well as some skill scrolls that we don't need. The types are very diverse, and the quantity is large."

After the message was sent, there was a long silence on the other end of the communicator.

After a long while, Gu Lao finally sent a reply, his words revealing an undisguised shock: "...Two full-strength elite squads? This is truly a big move."

This is something that can't help but shock the ancients. In the Paradise of Reincarnation, a standard elite squad means that there are six distinct roles: main tank, main DPS, support, crowd control, scout, and free agent, each with different equipment requirements.

Lin Yi's words meant that he had enough resources to fully arm twelve elite contractors!

This is almost equivalent to the wealth that a medium-sized adventure team would need to accumulate over several world progresses to achieve.

Gu Lao couldn't help but wonder if Lin Yi had taken down a super-large adventure group in the previous world.
It can only be said that although the individual combat strength of the contractors in the Samsara Paradise is strong, in terms of the "abundance" of resources, there is indeed a gap compared with some paradises known for their "abundance of resources".

In particular, the Holy Light Paradise and the Apocalypse Paradise are renowned throughout the void for the wealth of their contractors.

After completing the initial communication with the ancient witch and agreeing to discuss the details at the witch's shop later, Lin Yi leisurely changed out of the priest's robe that had been through numerous battles and was stained with blood and dust. He casually tossed it into the automatic cleaning machine in his private room and changed into a comfortable set of casual clothes.

After taking a hot shower, Lin Yi prepared to head to Resource Planet SID-466.

As the teleportation beam from the Paradise of Reincarnation descended, Lin Yi's figure appeared on the surface of a somewhat desolate planet with a strangely dark red sky.

This is SID-466, a resource planet that is seen by many forces in the void as a place of "liquid wealth" and a battleground for all.

Looking around, the landscape is mostly rugged hills and deep canyons, with sparse vegetation. Only some strange mosses and low shrubs that are resistant to high temperatures and radiation stubbornly cling to the crevices of the rocks.

The planet's surface is covered with craters of all sizes, some of which are naturally formed impact craters, but most are scars left by human mining and fierce fighting.

The reason why the resource planet SID-466 has been the subject of such a long-term struggle is due to a special mineral found deep underground—"Void Energy Crystal".

This type of crystal contains highly active and relatively stable pure energy, and its applications are extremely wide-ranging.

This thing is an ideal energy source for advanced starships, strategic weapons, large space stations, and even some planetary-class warships, with an efficiency far exceeding that of conventional energy sources.

Due to its unique energy affinity, it is also one of the key materials for constructing ultra-long-range teleportation arrays, large barriers, precision alchemical devices, and certain top-level enchantments.

Moreover, the refined essence of energy crystals, after being purified through specific processes, has a subtle effect on promoting the evolution of life levels for certain races (such as elemental life forms and energy-based organisms).

Furthermore, since it can serve as one of the hard currencies in the void, hoarding large quantities of energy crystals is tantamount to controlling the future energy lifeline and development potential.

This planet has exceptionally rich reserves of energy crystals, which are buried relatively shallowly and are easy to mine.

However, its formation environment has also led to the instability of the planet itself, with frequent crustal activity and extreme weather events.

More importantly, the distribution of mineral veins is extremely uneven, often highly concentrated in a certain area while other areas are barren. This distribution directly leads to constant conflicts among various forces vying for rich mineral areas.

Currently, the planet's surface is roughly divided among several major powers, as well as some smaller but ruthless Void Mercenary Groups and Raider Organizations that survive in the cracks.

War is the norm here, and peace is only a brief truce.

Every day, lives are lost in the pursuit of those brilliant crystals underground.

Originally, this place belonged to the Abyss Healers, but with the disappearance of the Abyss Healers, this planet naturally became a piece of fat meat in everyone's eyes.

The moment Lin Yi's feet touched the solid ground, the space beside him distorted, and a demon warrior who was over two and a half meters tall, with dark red skin and curved horns on his head appeared.

The demon warrior glanced at Lin Yi, confirmed his identity, whispered a few words into the bone communicator near his lips, then turned to Lin Yi, his voice carrying a metallic quality: "Doctor? Come with me, Lady Lilim is waiting."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, following the demon warrior's pace, and asked with some curiosity, "How are you so sure I'll definitely appear on this planet?"

The demon warrior replied without turning his head, "We're not sure. The order is to disperse and guard all marked locations. If any location triggers a sensor, the nearest personnel will be responsible for guiding the signal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi understood.

After investigating his movements, the demons and winged races discovered that the locations where he appeared repeatedly overlapped with the historical sphere of influence of the Abyss Healers faction.

Based on their previous interactions, Lilim had clearly deduced his method of teleportation using the "beacon" left behind by the Abyss Doctor or special privileges.

Princess Hedy of the Feather Clan must have received the news as well. The two sides joined forces and covered more than 80% of the area under the old Abyss Healer's control, setting up this "waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump" net.

Following the demon warrior, the two did not choose to head straight to their destination, but instead traversed a hilly area with complex terrain.

This is clearly to avoid certain open combat zones or unnecessary trouble.

However, on the resource planet SID-466, complete peace is almost a luxury.

Not far away, a series of muffled explosions came from afar, accompanied by the sharp hiss of energy weapons cutting through the air.

Lin Yi looked up and saw a fierce conflict breaking out at the entrance of a mine several kilometers away.

On one side were guards with relatively uniform equipment, wearing standard powered armor, and relying on temporary shelters for defense. Judging from their insignia, they seemed to be the private armed forces of a certain void mining company.

The attackers were a group of haphazardly dressed but extremely fierce raiders who used modified hovercraft to make high-speed advances and unleashed a barrage of firepower with rudimentary yet powerful kinetic and energy weapons.

The dust and energy beams kicked up by the explosion intertwined, illuminating the area in a flickering light.

"It's the 'Vulture Legion' seizing a small, rich ore deposit at 'Blackrock Mining'," the demon warrior explained casually, as if it were a common occurrence. "These small-scale skirmishes happen dozens of times a day."

Continuing on, they passed a battlefield where a battle had recently ended.

Twisted metal debris and still-burning flames were scattered across the scorched earth. Several corpses dressed in different faction uniforms lay on the ground, and the air was thick with the smell of burning and blood.

Some masked figures dressed as scavengers were moving quickly across the battlefield, skillfully stripping away any equipment and supplies that still had value.

Upon seeing Lin Yi and the demon warrior pass by, they immediately stopped their actions and hid behind cover until the two had gone far away before resuming their "work".

Armed aircraft occasionally streaked past at high speed at low altitudes, leaving long trails of flame and emitting tremendous roars.

Some of them were painted with the flame emblem of the Demon Clan, others with the winged symbols of the Feathered Clan, and still others with the markings of other factions that Lin Yi had never seen before. These aircraft maintained a wary distance from each other, occasionally exchanging warning shots with their onboard weapons over flight paths or "sovereignty" over certain airspaces, the blinding beams of light crisscrossing in the air and leaving brief traces.

Further away, several towering, gigantic mechanical structures—the mining towers and refineries of a large mine—devour the earth like silent steel behemoths.

But they were not unscathed. One corner of one of the refineries clearly showed signs of being bombarded by heavy weapons, with thick black smoke billowing out of the damage, like the foul blood flowing from a giant beast.

On the distant horizon, massive energy flashes, far exceeding the scale of previous conflicts, occasionally illuminated the scene, accompanied by muffled explosions that could be felt even from a great distance. This was likely a direct war between major powers vying for control of core mineral veins.

Every second that "liquid wealth" flows here is accompanied by blood and fire.

The entire SID-466 resource planet is like a huge, never-ending arena, and the Void Energy Crystal is the dazzling spark that attracts all moths to the flame.

Soon, Lin Yi was led by the demon warrior to a teleportation array hidden in a mountain valley.

"Stand up," the demon warrior gestured.

Lin Yi did as instructed and stepped onto the teleportation array.

The next moment, the demon warrior chanted obscure incantations, and the teleportation array suddenly burst into a blinding light.

However, this teleportation experience was completely different from any other time!

Instead of a smooth spatial transition, he was struck by an extremely brutal and tyrannical force, like an invisible giant hammer slamming into his back, sending him flying uncontrollably!
The feeling was like being strapped to the front of an overpowered roller coaster and then suddenly launched out, with a strong sense of weightlessness and spatial compression instantly overwhelming you.

Once the surrounding scenery stabilized, a strong sense of dizziness and nausea surged up like a tide, and Lin Yi found himself in a huge hall filled with the rugged style of the demon race.

But at that moment he had no interest in appreciating his surroundings; he only felt his stomach churning and desperately needed a container.

Just then, a metal trash can was handed to him.

Lin Yi didn't even have time to thank him. He took it and bent over to gag violently.

Fortunately, his physical condition was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he managed to suppress his discomfort after a short while.

As he straightened up, he realized that there were two other "fellow sufferers" beside him.

On the left is Princess Heti of the Feather Clan. Her once exquisite and flawless face is now deathly pale, her long golden hair is slightly disheveled, and she is hugging a matching trash can. Her delicate eyebrows are furrowed, and she looks weak and pitiful.

On the right is the Wind Prince, an "old acquaintance" of Arcane Eternal Star. This usually elegant and nerdy mage is now in a sorry state, with stains on the collar of his mage robe and his arm, which is holding onto the trash can, is trembling slightly.

Clearly, these two had also just experienced the "violent" teleportation, and judging from their condition, they were in much worse shape than Lin Yi.

Hattie is a pampered princess and commander, while Prince Wind is a typical "traditional mage," so their physical abilities are naturally no match for Lin Yi's.

At this moment, Lin Yi realized that the person who had handed him the trash can was Lilith's sister, the hot-tempered and impulsive Lilith.

She was standing to the side with her arms crossed, a clear look of displeasure on her face, muttering things like "troublesome" and "wasting my training time."

Lin Yi guessed that after the incident where she almost "beheaded" Hattie, Lilim forced her to do reception work as a kind of "training".

"How long have they been here?" Lin Yi asked Lilith, pointing to Hattie and Prince Wind, who were still catching their breath.

"Not long, I arrived about ten minutes before you," Lilith said, pursing her lips.

Seeing the two of them in such a miserable state, as if they had lost half their lives, Lin Yi sighed, ultimately unable to bear it.

He raised his hand, and two purification spells landed on Hattie and Prince Wind respectively, with some soothing and restorative effects.

The pain on their faces eased considerably. Although they were still somewhat weak, they were at least free from their dependence on the trash can.

Hattie clutched her chest, looking at Lilith with lingering fear, her voice trembling slightly: "Are all the remote teleportation arrays of your demon race... so... wild? I felt like my soul was about to be thrown out!"

Prince Feng also spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "This spatial folding algorithm is too crude, it doesn't take the comfort of the occupants into consideration at all... The oldest teleportation array on Arcane Eternal Star is ten times more stable than this."

Lilith, however, looked completely at ease, even a little doubtful: "What's wrong with this thing? When I go to fight in the Black Abyss, I always ride in one of these. It's fast, direct, and saves a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, Hedy, and Prince Feng fell silent, their gazes towards Lilith filled with an indescribable...respect.

To be able to treat this torture-like teleportation method as daily transportation without batting an eye and to think "there's no problem" truly makes Lilith a battle maniac known for her bravery among the demon race.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time here." Lilith waved her hand impatiently. "My sister's waiting inside. Come with me."

She turned and walked into the depths of the palace first.

Lin Yi, Hedy, and Prince Feng exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.

The three tidied themselves up, suppressed the lingering discomfort in their bodies, and followed Lilith's footsteps.

After passing through several heavily guarded corridors burning with eerie blue flames, the group arrived at a huge obsidian gate carved with the head of a hideous demon.

Surprisingly, this door radiates a powerful wave of life energy; it is actually "alive"!

As Lilith approached, the stone eyes of the demon's head rolled and focused on her. Its carved stone mouth didn't move, but a gruff voice resounded in everyone's minds: "Yo! Isn't this our little Lilith? I heard you almost kicked that bird-woman princess's head like a ball last time? Well done! It's a pity you gave up at the last minute! Have you been slacking off in training lately? Do you want me to give you some 'special training'? I guarantee you'll be swift and decisive next time!"

The voice was full of the unrestrained and unruly nature unique to demons, and its content was completely unrestricted, openly making lewd jokes and even mentioning Hattie's embarrassing moments.

Hattie's face instantly turned from white to red, then from red to green. She was so angry that her lips trembled, but she couldn't lash out because of the occasion and the other person's "inhuman" form.

Prince Feng's lips twitched, and he subconsciously moved away from the door, clearly uncomfortable with this "vulgar" way of communicating.

Lin Yi was also somewhat taken aback, not expecting that the demon race's doors would be so unique.

Who is Lilith? She is the little demon king of the demon race, known for her temper and fighting prowess.

She didn't even flinch at the obsidian door's mockery. She simply stepped forward, her right leg swinging like a battle axe, whistling through the air as she delivered a powerful kick to the nose of the demon statue on the door panel!

"boom!!"

A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a drum, exploded on the obsidian door, and the entire porch seemed to tremble.

"Ouch——!"

The mental voice instantly changed from mockery to a cry of pain: "You little brat! Be gentle! I'm carved from ancient magic stone! Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?!"

The demon statue's nose, where it had been kicked, was slightly dented, with a few fine cracks spreading around it. The statue's expression changed from ferocious to a somewhat comical look of pain.

"Stop talking nonsense! Open the door!" Lilith withdrew her foot, crossed her arms, and glared coldly at the door. "If you keep nagging, I'll dismantle you and use you as a training dummy next time."

"Tsk, no respect for elders..." the gate muttered, but it was clearly afraid of Lilith's violence and dared not say another word.

A faint light flashed on the door, and the heavy door slowly opened inward with a rumbling sound, revealing the brightly lit council hall behind it.

Lilith snorted coldly, not even glancing at the door that was still groaning and complaining, and stepped inside first.

The council chamber was lavishly furnished, its style a blend of the ruggedness of the demon race and the luxury of the top powers in the void.

In the main seat, Lilim was lounging on a seat covered with animal hides. Today, she was wearing a dark red, form-fitting dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her gaze swept over the four people who entered, lingering for a moment, especially on Lin Yi.

"I've brought the person." Lilith walked casually to the throne of Lilim and stood there, looking as if she had completed her mission.

Lilim nodded to her, then turned her gaze to Lin Yi and the other two, her smile brightening slightly: "You three, you must be tired from your journey. Please have a seat, let's get straight to the point." (End of Chapter)
