Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

[Besides, Lu Wusong is a powerful superpower.]

Arceus then explained calmly, his tone returning to its previous calmness, trying to clear up the fog and confusion for Lin Yi.

[For Lu Wusong, having superpowers as a backup is like covering the fragile candle flame with a sturdy windproof shield. Even if he overdraws his mental power many times, he is only walking on the edge of the tolerable range.

In comparison, the overtime work caused by the backlog of daily tedious work is the real culprit that can make him fall into the quagmire and cause emotional breakdown. The harm is far more serious than simply overdrawing his mental energy.

But you are different. You don’t have such a strong foundation of superpowers to rely on. Continuously overdrawing your mental strength is like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

Every step you take is a brush with death, and if you take a wrong step, you will fall into an abyss of no return, with no way back.]

Arceus' voice seemed to roll in from the ancient times with endless majesty, just like the ringing of a huge bell, powerful and steady. Every note carried an irresistible force and crashed straight into Lin Yi's mind.

The sound surged and echoed repeatedly in the narrow space of his mind, like a huge wave crashing against the shore, lingering for a long time, as if to completely shatter and reshape his world of consciousness.

His tone was as calm as a windless lake, without the slightest ripples, but the deep meaning and questions contained in it were like a heavy hammer, with a tremendous force, striking Lin Yi's heart accurately and without error.

Each blow was intended to dig up the emotional soil in his heart that he tried to bury, causing regret and melancholy to sprout like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, growing wildly and surging endlessly, disturbing his heart and making it restless.

But Lin Yi is like an isolated island with a foundation built by time. No matter how raging the "spiritual storm" in the outside world is, his heart is always as solid as a rock.

Perhaps it is due to the current special state of soul that has freed itself from the shackles of a weak body. The pain that had been like a thorn in the bone and gnawing at the nerves has completely dissipated and is no longer a burden.

At this moment, he seemed to be in the clear sky of thinking, able to overlook the overall situation more clearly and calmly, and sort out his messy thoughts.

All kinds of thoughts were running rapidly in this ethereal realm, and reason was quietly taking the helm, resisting the "psychological attack" hidden in Arceus' voice.

"You are deliberately playing tricks to scare me, right?"

Lin Yi stared at Arceus with burning eyes, as if his gaze could penetrate Arceus' mysterious appearance and reach his inner self.

After calming down and pondering for a long time in a spiritual state, his mind suddenly became clear and he confidently came to this conclusion.

Arceus's previous stern voice, pointed questions, and seemingly peaceful but pressing words, now seemed to Lin Yi like a carefully planned "psychological coercion war" intended to drag him into the quagmire of panic.

"Can you tell me why you acted this way?"

Lin Yi raised his chin slightly, not backing down at all. Although his words were filled with some uneasiness about the unknown reasons, they were more of a determination to not be kept in the dark and to find out the truth.

Arceus' huge body suddenly stiffened, and a rare flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, which were usually calm and seemed to see through everything, like a stone stirring up tiny ripples on the calm lake.

It seemed that it had not expected that Lin Yi could be so keen in seeing its intentions. After a brief moment of stunned silence, a trace of helplessness slowly emerged on its majestic face.

It was like a shrewd chess player who thought he had a sure win, but his opponent saw through the key to the game, leaving him in a dilemma and speechless.

Arceus was silent for a long time, with a mysterious light flickering around him, as if he was considering his words.

After a long while, that peaceful voice with an ancient charm sounded in Lin Yi's mind again:

[Human, you have extraordinary courage and the wisdom to see through appearances. I originally thought that I could use coercion and questioning to make you face the consequences of your reckless behavior, so that you would respect the rules and the realm of God.]

Lin Yi frowned slightly, his doubts growing instead of being resolved.

"Respect the rules? I just wanted to borrow the Diamond Jade to solve the urgent problem and protect my companions. I never thought there were such complicated entanglements and strict rules behind it."

There was reluctance and grievance in his words. Thinking of his comrades on the battlefield who were still in danger, anxiety spread in his heart again.

Arceus seemed to sense his thoughts and walked slowly, his heavy steps treading on the temple floor without making any sound.

[All things in the world are governed by the law. The power of time can affect the whole body even if one hair is moved. The power to control the diamond jade cannot be used by you at will.

Every time you overdraw your spirit and move the jade recklessly, you stir up turbulence in the long river of time. In the past, when your body was still there, various hidden dangers had been dormant. Now that your soul has shed its shell, this is the price you have to pay.]

Lin Yi was shocked, thinking of all the thrilling moments before, those moments on the battlefield when he was on the verge of life and death and when his mental strength was almost exhausted. It turned out that they were all mad attempts on the edge of danger.

"Can I still go back? My friends are still waiting for me, and the outcome of the battle is still undecided. I can't just leave them behind like this!"

He shouted anxiously, his body swaying a little due to excitement.

Thinking of this, the faces of Ruan Yaoyao, Ye Feng, Mi Yu, Lin Guochang and others emerged clearly in his mind. Those expressions of concern or determination were like bright stars, illuminating his heart.

Aren't they risking their lives this time just to save themselves from the dire straits?

Especially Yaoyao, her gentle eyes and caring concern have always been the softest comfort in his heart.

But he died in front of her eyes. How great a blow must this have been to her, and how deep a psychological trauma must have been left behind! Lin Yi didn't dare to think about it!

[Now that you have come here in this soul form, the usual way back home has been cut off, but there is still a way out.]

Lin Yiben was immersed in the gloom of his desperate fate, but when he heard the words "it's not without a solution", it was as if a drowning person suddenly grabbed a life-saving rope. His eyes widened instantly, and a blazing fire of hope ignited in his eyes. The flames could almost set the whole prairie on fire and burn away the haze in his heart.

He was extremely anxious, leaned forward, and asked very quickly:

"What method? As long as I can return to my friends, no matter how difficult and arduous it is, or how thorny it is, I am willing to try and will never back down!"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Yi caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Arceus's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a meaningful smile as if "everything is under control".

That smile was just like the pride of a cunning old fox when it captures its prey. It instantly made Lin Yi's scalp tingle and a strong sense of uneasiness surge in his heart.

In a split second, he suddenly realized something - he might have fallen into a trap carefully designed by this "alpaca"!

"Alpaca!! You are plotting against me!"

Lin Yi instantly became furious, stretched out his finger, and pointed it directly at Arceus, the finger trembling slightly with anger.
