Chapter 1470

A few seconds later.

After hearing the Annihilator Overlord's account of the civilizational battlefield and the conversion core's origin, Lin An didn't ask anything else, just calmly gazed at him.

Not knowing what Lin An had thought of, the Annihilator Overlord couldn't help but begin to feel uneasy.

He didn't know why Lin An suddenly became interested in these things.

But he could clearly sense that Lin An seemed to have thought of something very important.

"Celestial Eye people... long ago destroyed by civilization's products... Savior System... simulation... escape...."

He murmured to himself.

From the fragment of information exposed by the conversion core, Lin An couldn't help but link it together with the Savior System.

Although since he reached the Fourth Stage, the presence of the Savior System has grown weaker.

Apart from the recent few danger alerts, the Savior System is nothing like when he was just reborn, constantly issuing tasks and providing "help".

For Lin An, it's impossible not to value the Savior System on himself.

Especially, as he comes into contact with more and more new functions of the system.

Looking back, he unexpectedly discovered that those abilities provided by the Savior System are actually just that set of the system.

For example, psychic technology corresponds to the civilization exchange option in the prestige shop.

For example, his threefold talent enhancement corresponds to the prototype of rules.

His ability to reach the Fourth Stage so quickly is largely due to his early exposure to the rule prototype.

Unintermittent-Eternal Body..

Celestial Form-Superior Thought...

These traits should have been Fourth Stage characteristics, but under the guidance of the Savior System, he was exposed to them already during the First and Second Levels.

Of course, Lin An also knows this is related to his fusion with the corpse of Faction: Long An.

"Cultivate?"

"Not just one high-level civilization uses more than one method to nurture newborn civilizations?"

"Select outstanding 'warriors'? Some escape the system's control, some simulate system abilities but develop early. Some parasitize the system, exploiting loopholes."

"Those willing to oppose the Apocalypse will try every means to layout; those who dare not face the Apocalypse become fugitives."

After organizing his understanding of the Doomsday System, Lin An actually sketched out in his mind a grand, immeasurable, unimaginable ultimate narrative.

Even if it's just a simple, vague guess.

But when looking at that "story" in his mind, Lin An actually felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

It's like the lowliest mortal looking up at an endless dark palace, blood and fire intertwined, each civilization's wails and roars gasping for breath in that boundless palace.

"Wizard world, planar civilizations, multiverse, high-level civilizations..."

"Star-devourers, spirits, fugitives, Shen Yuan, the realm of the dead, saviors, civilization destroyers..."

"Natural disasters, catastrophes, calamities, mutations, alterations, memes, rules, the supernatural..."

The more one knows, the more ignorant one becomes.

The more truth one sees, the more blurred it becomes.

In the long silence, Lin An could only force himself to stop thinking about all this.

He cannot imagine how many civilizations are struggling, how many individuals at the utmost strength are painfully struggling.

In the description of the Annihilator Overlord, who knows how many super civilization relics lie within the civilizational battlefield they participated in.

The conversion core was found in an inconspicuous corner, inside a house resembling a dwelling.

The civilizational battlefield they initially participated in was merely the lowest level, the most ordinary one among countless billions of battlefields.

Unable to deeply ponder its meaning.

A super civilization capable of manufacturing smuggling props and making people into Fifth Stage props had already perished long ago. By reverse logic, Lin An almost without thinking could realize what this signifies.

Either all means of resistance are ineffective, or this path is wrong.

Did they win?

How long has the Apocalypse lasted?

Is it now the beginning or the end?

Everything is like a riddle, and he is like a worm standing before the ultimate gate, peering through a crack where the gate is open.

However, having vaguely seen that inside the gate perhaps just an entrance, merely a speck of insignificant dust, he stood frozen like the most fearful child.

"Lin Emperor?"

"About when will we leave this place? Are you planning to return via the bronze gate?"

Seeing Lin An silent for too long, the Annihilator Overlord couldn't help but glance at the planetary debris that had spread nearly ten thousand kilometers.

He pointed to a blue-green light speck in the debris and asked softly.

That is the bronze gate.

Even after the planet shattered, that gate seemed to exist eternally, strangely floating in place.

Unlike Lin An, who is immersed in various speculations, he is very concerned about how Lin An will return.

Instantly regaining his senses, Lin An suddenly realized he had been immersed too long, then furrowed his brows slightly and looked at the Annihilator Overlord.

For some reason, he faintly felt that the Annihilator Overlord seemed even more eager to return than he.

"Wait a moment, do you have something?"

Casually asking, Lin An simply stopped thinking further, merely testing the conversion core while looking at the final reward.

He had considered returning via the bronze gate. Actually, before entering, Chu An had already told him the way back.

How the alien species came, that's how he will return.

After the planet exploded, he also noticed that the bronze gate was undamaged.

Lin Emperor, since you still need some time, uh... I want to go look for one of my things.

He gave a placating smile; the Annihilator Overlord, extremely respectful, pointed at Lin An at the planet's ruins, indicating that there was something inside he wanted to take away.

Before Lin An could ask, the Annihilator Overlord frankly explained what he wanted to take back.

"Lin Emperor, I want to take my Black Tower."

"That thing is a civilization reward from before; it can cover the globe with attacks and also lock onto targets over a large area. Uh... I originally used it to look for you..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

The Annihilator Overlord's heart instantly filled with bitterness.

Just thinking that not long ago he relied on the Black Tower to hunt Lin An everywhere, and now, after such a short time, he has become Lin An's slave.

This is fucking ridiculous...

He raised his brow, and upon hearing that, Lin An instantly became interested:

"Bring it over; that thing is indeed quite interesting."

Hearing Lin An's implication that he wanted to confiscate his Black Tower, the Annihilator Overlord's bitter smile deepened; he didn't dare refuse anything, so he gratefully rushed over to search for it.

If he could get it in hand, even if that monster wanted to leave, there might still be a chance to take it back!

With a faint flicker of an unusual color in his eyes, the Annihilator Overlord instantly vanished from the spot.

"Can mental power be converted into spiritual energy, and also into rule power?"

"After compression, this energy is..."

Constantly playing with a "Red Line" in his hand, Lin An looked somewhat surprised at the Conversion Core he had implanted into his body.

Seeing that after it fused with his flesh and blood, he suddenly realized that, in the blink of an eye, he could freely convert the energy within his body, and the speed was astonishing!

After a simple test, Lin An instantly realized that this thing truly lived up to its mythic grade!

"All energy can be freely converted! Isn't this essentially raising the limit of all my power by more than three times?!"

"Moreover, from a certain perspective, even skills could convert my self-healing ability into offensive capability?"

Sensing the super-enhanced version of what could be called the Seed of Death within his body, even without understanding what the compressed power actually was, Lin An instantly felt he had picked up a treasure!

With all energy able to interconvert, this means that as long as he still has a breath, his rule reserve is as high as his vitality! The same goes for mental power and spiritual energy!

Moreover, in his tests, this thing can absorb and store any ownerless energy!

"Battlefield Divine Instrument!"

"Even if not on the battlefield, it's equivalent to a super health potion with triple the limit!"

He couldn't help but simulate his own survivability.

After a moment, Lin An's face turned strange, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

With nearly endless points in hand, plus conversion power, an limitless physique...

Below the Fifth Stage, who could kill him?!

Even facing the Fifth Stage... as long as the opponent can't instantly kill him, he might be able to outlast them in a war of attrition.
