Chapter 1628: Departure 6

Beep, the catastrophe process will start in ten seconds."

"Detected that player Lin An is the representative of this area's main entity; this catastrophe has been changed to a solo mission."

"The Stellar Battlefield is opening; please get ready."

With an icy system prompt sounding instantly.

Before Lin An's gaze could even focus.

An intangible surge suddenly arose from the void.

Only to see the surge like a storm, scanning the entire globe at an unimaginable speed, finally locking firmly above his head.

In that instant, Lin An felt an indescribable immense pressure, instantly making him unable to breathe.

Like a supreme pressure locking down.

Under the pressure of this terrifyingly extreme aura, Lin An felt every pore on his body instantly explode!

What powerful spatial rules!

Staring at the black vortex suddenly appearing above his head, Lin An drew a deep breath, tensing his whole body to the limit.

A flash of white light, and his twin swords were clenched tightly in his hands.

Although he didn't know what scene awaited inside, Lin An could imagine that the Stellar Battlefield would surely surpass any terror he had ever experienced!

Moreover...

And the distance is probably extremely far!

"10!"

"9!"

"7!"

"1!"

Soon, the system's countdown quickly hit zero.

As a massive vortex several kilometers wide opened, a dazzling galaxy strangely appeared inside the vortex.

Before Lin An could stare blankly, the next second a huge suction capable of swallowing everything instantly pulled him into the vortex.

Light flashed.

After the vortex closed, the blinding light, like a supernova explosion, flashed and vanished in Earth's sky.

On the ground, people watched as the night sky suddenly brightened like daytime and then darkened again, all of them stunned with mouths agape.

But no one knew what this white light actually represented.

One hour later.

Heaven's Instance.

"God Lord!"

"Progress has stopped! Those sea beasts automatically retreated!"

Beneath the God's Throne, a large number of fugitives at the Fourth Stage looked panicked at the information sent from the controllers, everyone terrified.

Half an hour earlier, the sea beasts originally guided and covertly driven by the system inexplicably all retreated to the deep sea.

Although for humans in the real world this was practically the best news possible, for them it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

"Damn it! How could this happen!?"

"According to our progress calculations, the sea beast disaster and other disasters should continue to erupt!"

"Could it be that this brat did something!?"

Unable to comprehend.

Beneath the God's Throne, a fugitive specifically responsible for detonating sea beasts had an ugly expression.

According to their plan, the ever-increasing progress is key to attracting followers, and also the best opportunity to attack Lin An.

Without disaster, humans would not feel fear.

Without fear, what would they rely on to spread faith?

If they truly relied on giving humans power to tempt them, they themselves might as well not live.

"What's there to panic about!"

Unlike the panicked fugitives, the God Lord, who kept checking the external view, remained calm and composed.

But the speed at which he flipped through the views revealed his inner state; he seemed not as calm as he appeared.

A few seconds later, after receiving an image transmitted from the controlled Fourth Stage individuals in the real world, the God Lord's heart jolted with shock, and he found it hard to believe as he fixed his gaze on the white light in the night sky.

"That...!?"

"Disaster halted... white light... transmission surge!?"

Almost instantly, he, who had experienced all this before, suddenly thought of a possibility.

Once the catastrophe progress is opened, it cannot be stopped!

This is the iron law of the Doomsday Game!

To be honest, he had actually already prepared for Lin An to madly slaughter those Fourth Stage individuals.

But he never imagined that Lin An would ultimately choose the most foolish path.

"Solo mission!? Special catastrophe!?"

"No! It's that brat who bore the progress himself!?"

"Boom!!"

Amid intense emotional fluctuations, the God Lord joyfully rose to his feet, his surging will sweeping across the field like a storm.

Only to see him wave his hand vigorously, bursting into an excited, hearty laugh.

"No need to guess anymore!"

"That bastard, that worm! He chose to start the progress early!"

"He went to die himself!"

Victory came so easily.

Although his absolute confidence and his plan could not be broken, Lin An had no choice but to wait for death or flee.

But when this moment actually arrived, the First Generation felt only relief; the long-held resentment turned entirely into joy.

Just a worm!

Xiao Xiao Lin An! He also deserves to make them hide!

That's all!

As the words fell, many refugees who had experienced the original world's catastrophe froze; after a few seconds they reacted and joined in excited shrieks.

It wasn't that the worm found a way to break the situation! It was that he actively went to seek death!?

Too naive!

They had prepared for the catastrophe to come, planning to see if they could wait for Lin An to flee and then clean up the aftermath.

Now it's fine.

Lin An actually went to die himself, and in the process even saved Earth.

How could such unthinkably good news not make them excited?

But in the midst of the joy, the First Generation's eyes were full of doubt.

The best outcome he imagined was Lin An fleeing.

After all, in their judgment, the progress of Earth's catastrophe should be something like a stellar crisis.

Lin An couldn't protect everyone; if he didn't want to die, he could only flee.

Why...

Why would the disaster be replaced by a solitary one?

That white flash was obviously a single-body mission, specifically targeting overly powerful individuals of a civilization.

Although Lin An also meets this condition.

But according to their knowledge, ordinary single-body disaster-level individuals only appear in civilizations that have experienced multiple catastrophes.

In other words, Lin An is not yet worthy of taking on this level of difficulty.

"Could it be... that brat used some method to increase the difficulty, just to avoid a large-scale disaster?"

Amidst all the speculation, the First Generation couldn't help but snicker.

If that's really the case, then Lin An is even more foolish.

What's the use of solving the catastrophe after merely dealing with the sea beast?

If Lin An dies, won't this world still be theirs?

If we merely consider Lin An perhaps a foolish act of self-sacrifice and dismiss it, then at this moment the First Generation's mind holds only one thought.

"Convey my order!"

"Speed up the control of progress! Since that worm is already dead, immediately lower the progress!"

"Destroy humanity's potential, and let our controlled puppets rule the world!"
