Chapter 1364: with translation of chapter title

First go to the fortress, see if we can manage to get the qualification to enter the next gathering place in a short time.

According to what Scale Smoke said, inside the gathering place after the selection, almost everyone is third rank...

If suitable, slaughter the fortress before leaving, then do the same there!

One mind, three uses.

Lin An, while keeping Memory of the surrounding environment and scouting the movements of the third rank, thinks about his next plan.

This period of time is his only relatively relaxed time.

Once the slaughter starts, no matter how he disguises and hides, being hunted by large numbers of Fourth Stage is only a matter of a few hours.

Therefore, to him, he now feels like he has entered a hell-level dungeon; every step before the start cannot be wrong.

Every point of early-stage points is crucial to him!

'Before the Fourth Stage starts hunting me, I must accumulate enough points to recover from injuries and strengthen myself.'

'Theoretically, as long as I can gather enough points to strengthen to the next level before the first wave of Fourth Stage hunts me, there may still be hope to snowball afterward!'

'That group of Alien Species won't give me any rest time... recovering from injuries and restoring spiritual energy can only rely on points.'

A flash of determination crossed his eyes.

Lin An clearly knows he is now racing against death, racing against the Alien Species Sovereign!

He, who is completely unaware of the real situation, will not indulge in any fantasies.

Every minute and second of his cannot be delayed, and it's even impossible to slowly plot, killing for a while then hiding for a while!

Not knowing what method Chu An has to hold back the Alien Species Sovereign, Lin An can only calculate the situation to the worst-case scenario!

Within twelve hours, he must complete the accumulation of the first batch of points!

Then, in the following time, he must resist the pursuit of the first batch of Fourth Stage!

Thereafter, the time becomes endless battle, killing all Alien Species along the way in pursuit and counter-pursuit, to sustain war with war!

There is no strategy or technique to speak of, only naked violence!

'No points can be wasted; even a point now might save a life later!'

'The only problem now is whether the fortress and the so-called selection ground have enough Alien Species? How many Fourth Stage are there in this area?'

Lin An desperately recalls the information he obtained through his recovery ability, his thoughts racing, trying to piece together the approximate combat strength of his area.

The recovery skill is useful against low-rank Alien Species; this is probably the only good news left.

From the mouth of the deceased Scale Smoke's father, he learned that each continent will have a Dominion-level Alien Species guarding it.

Dominion-level, the lowest rank is mid Fourth Stage! Moreover, they are the elite among mid Fourth Stage, far beyond those Alien Species he initially killed.

If there is only one Overlord, plus a few early Fourth Stage...

His eyes flickered, Lin An constantly simulated future developments, trying to find the optimal solution.

'If there is only one Overlord, I might still have a chance to survive, and could even kill ordinary Fourth Stage before the Overlord acts against me.'

'Combined with the points from slaughtering all Alien Species in the fortress, perhaps we can gather enough for the mid-level requirement...'

'By continuously snowballing, perhaps we can kill the Overlord on this continent before other Overlords arrive!'

'Then, in that case...'

'Time will be much more ample! I will gain roughly three to six extra hours to slaughter this continent!'

'Devour all Alien Species on this continent! Then, before the encirclement, slaughter another continent!'

In his thoughts, Lin An constantly compares the continental structure of the Alien Species world.

This planet is far larger than Earth.

Not considering the existence of King-level Alien Species, the Overlords of other continents coming to besiege would need at least several hours to arrive!

This time difference is his breathing space!

Trade space for time!

Like a virus invading cells, as long as he can hold out in the early stage, devouring Alien Species as nutrients, Lin An can rapidly increase his strength and devour this world!

This is also the only hope in Chu An's plan!

The faster he kills, the greater the hope!

He slowly exhaled a breath, having confirmed his subsequent train of thought, Lin An no longer thought much, merely hastening his journey.

The current situation is already much better than he imagined.

After killing another batch of third rank to obtain information, he could even choose to actively strike the weak point Overlord. If there is anything he is unsure about, it might only be Chu An's side.

All plans are based on Chu An at least being able to hold back the Sovereign for a day... no, should say to delay until he gains the strength to escape before the Sovereign.

Unfortunately, Chu An's side cannot be contacted...

The letter cannot cross such a distant world... otherwise, Lin An asks himself whether his plan could be further refined.

But compared to his optimism, the Second Will is clearly not optimistic.

As if guessing what he is thinking, in the Thought Space, the Second Will mercilessly pours cold water, in his mind, hiding is the optimal solution.

(\"All your plans are based on the Alien Species being stupid enough to let you kill ordinary Fourth Stage before they act against you. \")

(\"Have you considered that this world still has King-level Alien Species? \")

(\"It's still not too late to hide now; that volcano helped you a lot, they can't find where you are. \")

(\"In the fortress afterward, I dare say that as soon as you make a move, the Overlord of this continent will immediately notice you! \")

(\"Do you have confidence escaping under a mid Fourth Stage? If he keeps hunting you, where would you get the time to kill ordinary Fourth Stage? \")

(\"Lin An, give up fantasies. The Sovereign will definitely return later; then what will you do? \")

Constantly denying Lin An's train of thought, the Second Will, after speaking, redraws a map.

(\"Although the information is scarce, the continental information you asked for is not something low-rank Alien Species could know. \")

(\"But don't you feel that this continent very likely belongs to the territory of those few strongest Alien Species? \")

On a three‑dimensional map generated out of thin air, the Second Will, as if simulating a deduction, conjured a ferocious planet.

And on the red point he marked, Lin An's location was none other than the place where the continent was most shattered, also the area guarded by powerful Alien Species in the information.

No rebuttal, no speech.

Lin An silently watched the planet map conjured by the Second Will.

He naturally also thought of this.

If he really is on these several continents, what awaits him will be the strongest Dominion-level Alien Species.

To act means the start of a death countdown.

Unless his luck is explosive, otherwise it's highly likely that, as the Second Will simulated, he will be discovered by these super Alien Species within a few hours and then die in endless pursuit.

But.

Lin An gave a cold snort, as if completely unaffected by the Second Will's interference, and spoke coldly:

"If you want to live, don't say so much nonsense!"

"If you dare interfere again, I'll now charge into the Central Continent—let's die happily if we must die!"

"Help me unconditionally! You have no choice!"

As his words fell, the Second Will's expression froze; he never expected Lin An to turn the tables and threaten him with his own life.

A flicker of coldness and anger flashed in his eyes, but in the silence he uncomfortably realized he seemingly really had no room for choice.

When Lin An used his life as a trump card, he belatedly discovered that he had nothing left in his hand to restrain Lin An.

"You're threatening me with suicide...?"

"Really... damn it!"

Twenty-seven minutes later, a huge pitch-black fortress abruptly appeared before Lin An's eyes.

Just like a black snake head bursting from the ground, inside the huge fortress situated in a mountain range, large numbers of Alien Species were coming and going.

Fortress, arrived.
