Zhang Baiyu reacted instantly: "Very likely!"
On the surface, it appears that the other party had someone bind Lin Yi to that mysterious steward, and that Lin Yi was that steward.
But once the memory is completely solidified, when that steward officially appears, in the eyes of everyone in Tianjun, he will be Lin Yi!
At least in terms of memory, this will be undeniable and beyond doubt!
Lin Yi said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then the other side will definitely have even bigger moves to make next."
Zhang Baiyu nodded seriously: "That's right. The shaping of collective memory inevitably requires certain collective rituals as core anchors."
As the two of them had predicted, things turned out exactly as they had expected.
Soon, as the memories of the people of Tianjun were massively altered, various forces spontaneously gathered in the New Tiangong Square, driven by a mysterious force behind the scenes.
As for their reason for gathering, it was to demand that Lin Yi reveal his identity as the former chief steward and give the people of Tianjun a clear answer.
If a normal person were in this situation, they would inevitably make a sarcastic remark.
It's none of your business.
However, the reason given by these people was that it concerned the legitimate ownership of Tianjun, and the people of Tianjun naturally had the right to know. Otherwise, it would be deliberately deceiving the people of Tianjun, which was unreasonable.
"You can't sit still anymore?"
Lin Yi looked amused.
Logically, he should have come forward to clarify things publicly and distance himself from the manager at this point.
Once the severance is complete, the other party's scheme will fail.
However, Lin Yi immediately rejected this idea.
Since the other side has put up this kind of setup, it means that this is their home turf, and engaging in a cognitive war in this regard will likely result in a loss.
As Lin Yi was pondering this, a thought suddenly struck him.
A familiar aura is quietly creeping into Tianjun.
"Zhao Feng? This guy dares to come back?"
Lin Yi's expression turned strange.
The way the other party entered Tianjun this time was extremely secretive. If he hadn't prepared a backup plan and planted a seed of world will deep in the other party's sea of consciousness, which would allow him to receive a clear sense of it, even he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
The problem is, wasn't this guy already apprehended by law enforcement?
How could he escape unscathed?
Are the enforcement teams of the Main God Academy just for show?
Or did Zhou Han, after being humiliated, collude with Zhao Feng and Chen Yuan behind him to downplay the incident and release him?
This possibility is not entirely out of the question.
What truly surprised Lin Yi was why Zhao Feng would return to Tianjun alone at this time.
One thing is certain: the visitors are not friendly.
However, given Zhao Feng's strength and the numerous restrictions imposed by Tianjun, he was at most equivalent to an ordinary two-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect master.
This level of strength is fine for easily defeating ordinary experts, but it offers absolutely no chance of winning against Lin Yi himself.
Moreover, Lin Yi also has three powerful magic gods under his command: the Movie Emperor, Gu Tianque, and the Dragon Beast.
He can't have come back to die, can he?
With the World Will Seed as a trump card, figuring out the other party's intentions is not difficult for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi immediately extracted the other party's memories remotely.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yi looked at him with a strange expression.
"The Karmic Curse of Death? There's actually such a thing?"
Zhao Feng's purpose this time was very clear: he had come back to seek revenge.
However, Zhao Feng himself was well aware that if it came to a head-on confrontation, he would have no chance whatsoever.
His true trump card was the Karmic Death Curse given to him by Chen Yuan!
All he had to do was cast the curse on Lin Yi.
Once they succeed, even if Lin Yi is only a two-zhang Dharma Aspect expert, or even a Dharma God level expert, he will surely die!
Lin Yi immediately realized that the death calamity Zhang Baiyu mentioned could be the Karmic Death Curse in the other party's possession.
Before this, he had always thought that the death was related to the mysterious steward, but now it seems that he had been suspecting the wrong thing.
However, since the root of the problem lies with Zhao Feng, things become much easier to handle.
With Lin Yi's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill his opponent in a moment of surprise if he was caught off guard.
At this moment, any normal person would be eager to take action and nip the deadly threat in the bud.
But Lin Yi held back.
If things were really that simple, then what about the future that Zhang Baiyu saw?
Lin Yi didn't think the future was absolutely unchangeable, but rather that even if it could be changed, it would be far from easy.
This isn't about scaring yourself, but rather about trusting Zhang Baiyu's abilities.
Lin Yi immediately sought out Zhang Baiyu for advice.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Baiyu analyzed, "The Karmic Death Curse is no small matter. Whoever it curses will die. Zhao Feng is at most a pawn. Chen Yuan behind him is the key."
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "That's right, Chen Yuan sent Zhao Feng back this time, he must be looking to get revenge."
"But if he wants to get revenge, why did he only send Zhao Feng? Isn't he afraid that Zhao Feng will mess things up again?"
That's the real crux of the problem.
Zhang Baiyu said in a deep voice, "A person of this level could never be a brainless fool. He must be a person of exceptional cunning and wisdom. If he doesn't make a move, he won't fail easily."
"I think so too."
Lin Yi pondered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, his act of sending Zhao Feng into Tianjun alone may itself be part of his plan."
Zhang Baiyu wholeheartedly agreed: "Since Zhao Feng has entered Tianjun, it is impossible for him not to be discovered. The possibility of him getting away with it from beginning to end is almost zero."
"Chen Yuan must have thought of that."
"If he already knew the answer, why did he still do it?"
"There is only one possibility: he had already made relevant backup plans and was just waiting for the adults to make a move."
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
He was really impulsive just now, but thankfully he managed to control himself.
Zhang Baiyu continued his analysis: "For the Karmic Death Curse to detonate, certain specific conditions must be met, and these conditions are the core key."
"Is it possible that, sir, your attack on Zhao Feng was triggered by this very condition?"
Lin Yi slapped his thigh: "Absolutely possible!"
This kind of scheming is completely aimed at human instincts, making it virtually impossible to guard against!
If he were Chen Yuan, he would most likely have made similar arrangements.
To think three steps ahead and anticipate the opponent's reaction is an instinct of a master.
And Zhao Feng himself, as the executor, may not even be aware of all this; in the end, he was just a pawn.
Lin Yi clicked his tongue: "If that's really the case, it seems we've really offended them badly this time, that they'd go to such lengths to deal with me?"
Zhang Baiyu pondered, "There are two possibilities. One is that Chen Yuan is really paying special attention to Tianjun, but this attention may not only be directed at you, but also related to the main god who fell here."
"Sir, you just happened to be in his way, so he had no choice but to take action to deal with you."
