Instead, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eradicate all suffering and tyranny. The world belongs to the superior civilization. You may choose to accept it, or be eliminated by evolution, Captain Lin. Believe me, this is not a slogan, nor does it involve any interest, enmity, morality, or value orientation—it has nothing to do with race or… nation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, this guy seems completely brainwashed,” Kiki spoke up directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared at the refined middle-aged man before him, and upon hearing his words, he felt a strange blur—as if the figure standing before him was not human, but an entirely alien species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he feel this way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian lifted his gaze and suddenly realized his consciousness was growing hazy; shadows before him overlapped strangely. His first thought was that the man might be using some technique—or that he had sensed an utterly peculiar energy surging from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Lin Xian enveloped him with his Mechanical Heart, determined to pinpoint what forbidden object was active and identify any possible constraints on this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, his brain now felt like it was receiving chaotic strobing signals; his vision twisted. He saw Chen Yanxiu smiling, lips opening, speaking in a voice that alternated between distant and near…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems… you’re also deeply obsessed with the power of forbidden objects. Know this: all of these are the Master’s… blessings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Lin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xian turn pale and sway unsteadily, everyone immediately sensed something was wrong. Kiki rushed to support him. Shi Zhi, sensing the massive fluctuation in Lin Xian’s spiritual energy, panicked and immediately activated her ability on him—but this time, as her ability entered his mind, a bottomless black hole instantly appeared before her, violently pulling her in. The next instant, an endless crimson bloodshed surged from the darkness, slamming her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sudden transformation—Xiao Qing and Huo Ge turned toward Chen Yanxiu and struck simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Fist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shadow Slash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both uttered a quiet command, and their violent forces arrived in an instant—sharp blades reached his throat, the Fire Fist struck his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Yanxiu suddenly opened his pocket watch. In his vision, all attacks seemed frozen and distorted. He then looked at Lin Xian and spoke in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will meet again, Sword Bearer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished, he pulled out another strange gear, and then vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Xian’s consciousness surged wildly upward. He felt an astonishing speed dragging him away from Blue Star. Space grew darker. When his gaze stabilized, he suddenly saw a massive artificial space vessel rapidly appearing before him—Nantian Gate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Lin Xian’s consciousness pierced through the outer shell of Nantian Gate, traversed the passage, and entered Grace’s flickering bullet communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this instant, he clearly felt himself being forcibly yanked by forbidden object power, then bursting through Nantian Gate, hurtling toward the dark nebulae of deep space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown duration, Lin Xian had completely lost all sense of direction. Before him stretched only an abyssal, boundless darkness. He strained to see—something seemed to be watching him—but he saw nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in Lin Xian’s vision, starlight began to converge. At first, he thought it was the universe changing. But as time passed, he realized those starpoints appeared within his retinas—because as he turned his head, the starpoints moved in perfect sync. Soon, the points formed lines, then coalesced into a sequence of numbers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>34:32:11\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next second, the numbers changed to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>34:32:10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this… a countdown?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian was horrified. He shouted toward the dark void:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you! What is your purpose on Blue Star?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The universe seemed utterly silent, dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian tried to erase the numbers from his vision—but it was useless. He could only watch helplessly as the countdown continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, his consciousness began plummeting backward—in an instant, he was back on the steel platform of the Lidao submarine base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian gasped sharply, regaining awareness to see Xiao Qing and Huo Ge striking simultaneously, while Chen Yanxiu had left behind a strange fluctuation at his original spot, slowly fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what had just happened—but seeing this, he didn’t hesitate. He raised his hand and pointed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gravitational Lens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the properties of Chen Yanxiu’s silver pocket watch, Lin Xian had already suspected that gravity might disrupt his spacetime field. He wanted to capture this man—leader of the Sacred Revelation—whose secrets were surely numerous. His plan with Ye Lan was to trace the roots and uncover the true core of the Descent Faction. So Lin Xian unleashed his full power, determined not to let this man escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a twisted space appeared where Chen Yanxiu had vanished, tearing at the spacetime field. The move worked. Under the gravitational field’s influence, the spacetime field that had made Chen Yanxiu vanish began to distort. Within the transparent ripples of space, a rapidly retreating figure appeared beside Xiao Qing—Lin Xian’s Gravitational Lens had seized his arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yanxiu’s calm expression shattered instantly. He stared at Lin Xian, then at his left hand. The black gear in his grip, along with his entire arm, was being violently sucked into the gravitational field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone around stood frozen. Only Lin Xian had shattered Chen Yanxiu’s spacetime field. The two locked eyes across the void. Chen Yanxiu’s confusion slowly hardened into coldness. He glared at Lin Xian, gritted his teeth, and released his left hand—breaking free just before his flesh began peeling away and his spacetime field’s acceleration was neutralized—then vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze darkened. How many forbidden objects did this man carry? He could no longer expand the Gravitational Lens—otherwise Xiao Qing and Huo Ge would be caught in the backlash. He retracted his finger and immediately dismissed the lens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Fire Fist and Shadow Slash pierced through, sending a shockwave that leveled the steel platform’s railing ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Xiao Qing and Huo Ge realize that Chen Yanxiu, who had been right before them, had vanished mid-attack. Both stared, bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He disappeared?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t chase him,” Lin Xian now stood firm, glancing aside. Chen Yanxiu’s assistant had collapsed dead beside him, and below, over a dozen members of the Shengcheng Organization lay dead as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, what happened to you?” Kiki held him, urgently asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Ningjing looked down, frowning: “Why did they all die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Likely some remote suicide device. These people… weren’t just armed personnel—they included researchers,” Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened. “Looks like they were all silenced.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4c72b8d7c86b44c61001a6f70f44587d1bf2e7049a167ba33e6ff1882d209650","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-446","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-444",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
