Chapter 1333

The wind whimpered as it blew.

Perhaps the airflow dust generated by the explosion and high heat is hard to dissipate.

Over Wangjiang, the heavy lead‑gray clouds gradually devoured the sunset, and the oppressive evening gradually replaced twilight.

Taking off his mask, Lin An walked step by step among the high clouds, like a wanderer without purpose, heading toward an unknown path.

After repeated simulations and deductions, he ultimately chose to temporarily forgo exchanging anything.

Three Rule Fragments added no combat power, and a few attribute points in Fourth Stage battles were barely better than nothing.

Perhaps with them, he could go from killing a hundred Third Stage foes with a casual sword to a hundred ten... but this level of enhancement is meaningless.

Staying, there are other exchange options in the Honor Shop.

For example, quick injury repair, briefly providing forced concealment from First to Fourth Stage... as long as points are sufficient, the exchange options in the shop are as rich as in the competition.

"After entering the Alien Species world... everything is unknown."

"The Death God Set can grant me strong endurance, but even the fastest recovery speed can't match instant healing..."

"No logistics, no support... I need to make the most of this privilege..."

He exhaled lightly, and after repeated contemplation, Lin An muttered softly, as if confirming his train of thought.

On the path of enhancement after entering the Alien Species world, after repeated consideration he still chose to focus on rules.

Accumulating attributes, in the early stage it can maximize each point of his 'gain'.

But Lin An clearly understood that if the path of accumulating attributes was addition after the fourth stage, then rule reinforcement was multiplication.

Whether pushing mastery of electromagnetic rules to new heights, or relying on the eternal body to gain super defense that hard-resists most rules, both might be remarkably effective.

He had even considered the third calamity rule.

"Death Calamity..."

In his low muttering, a flash of extreme coldness flickered in Lin An's eyes.

This skill, which he regarded as an attribute enhancement, like a scalpel, had never played its proper role. sss-level skill Death Calamity, theoretically belongs to the highest tier of skills under system permission!

He clearly remembered that when he first obtained this skill, he had even triggered an unknown super existence.

That was an eye... like the supreme eye that monitors everything.

Even now, Lin An cannot determine the exact stage of that eye's power. Back when he mistakenly thought it was the Fourth Stage or Fifth Stage, looking back now is simply laughable.

"Being able to make an existence of that level appear... even if only a projection."

"This is already enough to prove how terrifying this skill is!"

It's not that Death Calamity isn't strong; Lin An clearly knows that in the real world, in the human world, he simply cannot use this skill!

Earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, lightning!

Magnetic field turmoil, pole reversal, tidal tearing!

As long as there is sufficient spiritual power and spiritual energy, this skill, which is clearly not a rule-based sss-level skill, is capable of causing terrifying destruction comparable to, or even surpassing, the vast majority of rules.

"Perhaps I should consider mastering the calamity rule..."

"If we truly reach the final moment... simultaneously unleash the calamity with the power to reverse the Fifth Stage..."

"(Are you sure you want to enter the Alien Species World?)"

In his contemplation, Lin An's gaze narrowed; in his Thought Space, he saw the Second Will emerge with a cold expression, speaking in a cold voice.

"(Are you sure you want to trust Chu An?)"

Before Lin An could frown and recover, after two consecutive questions, the Second Will, as if suppressing emotions that rarely surfaced, spoke again.

"(If I were you, I would definitely choose to leave Earth!)"

"(There's no hope! Going alone to the Alien Species World is no different from seeking death! Have you considered that perhaps the moment you enter, their Sovereign will find you!?)"

"(On what basis do you think those Alien Species lack search-type rules!? On what basis do you think you can oppose an entire civilization!?)"

Taking a deep breath, unusually, the Second Will, for the first time after its appearance, spoke in an extremely serious tone, as if advising compromise, looking at him.

"(Hopeless Lin An!)"

"(Don't be so foolish!)"

"(The plan Chu An speaks of doesn't even have a one-in-a-million chance of success! As soon as any fourth-stage Alien Species holds you back, what awaits you is the pursuit of the entire civilization!)"

"(If you make any mistake, slip up once! What awaits you is a death with no place to bury!)"

"(Do you think you're a god? Do you think you can maintain high-intensity combat forever without any mistakes!? I tell you, even if I fully cooperate with you, the two of us taking turns in battle would still fall into a state of fatigue!)"

"(Humans aren't machines! A flesh-and-blood body will always have moments of error!)"

"(This isn't a single battle! This isn't a victory you can win by staking everything on one try! This is a fight of thousands, tens of thousands, millions, even endless, until you die of exhaustion and it never ends!)"

His tone icy, the suddenly appearing Second Will seemed unable to hold back any longer; despite desperately suppressing his emotions, Lin An could still sense the other's anger and incomprehension.

It was as if he were dragging the other toward death.

In fact, from the Second Will's perspective, that was probably indeed the case.

"Are you afraid?"

He gave a light chuckle, Lin An somewhat unexpectedly looking at the Second Will in this state. In his impression, no matter the moment, the Second Will never had much emotion; if it did, it was merely an act put on for him.

But this time, the so-called absolute rationality was clearly just a simulation.

Or perhaps, when touching his bottom line, the Second Will could no longer remain calm.

"(That's right, I'm afraid.)"

"(I don't want to die so foolishly!)"

He admitted it openly.

Projected directly from the Thought Space, the next second, like a mental body, the Second Will that shot out stared fixedly at him.

The two stood off against each other, each occupying one side.

"(Run! Run now!)"

"("I promise you, Lin An! As long as you are willing to flee, I can give up killing you!")"

"("Live on! We can survive!")"

"("Even if you bring your so-called friends and brothers, it's fine! Even if you later want to come back for revenge, I will help you!!")"

Clenching his fists tightly, with their eyes locked, Lin An fell silent.

But after just a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

"("In order to survive, you really are willing to do anything...")"
