Chapter 1724: Stars Fall 18

Earth, a Heaven instance.

Under the throne of endless light, large numbers of Fourth Stage fugitives stood respectfully on both sides.

After a lifeform resembling a giant tree swiftly flew in amidst tremors, the God Lord on the throne finally focused and lifted his head.

"How is the situation? Confirmed?"

The voice was vast, echoing throughout the Heavenly Realm.

After the God Lord's seemingly calm but grave voice sounded, the Giant Tree Overlord beneath him excitedly waved its branches, and with a puff spat out a crystal storing information.

"God Lord! Confirmed!"

"Lin An has gone on a Five-Star Mission; judging by time, his mission type must be group-based!"

"Furthermore, according to reports from our infiltrators, Long An has been shrinking its forces, while human Fourth Stagers from other continents are stepping forward!"

"In the information we intercepted, there is definitely mention of Lin An accepting the mission!"

"Lin An, he didn't bring anyone in! That kid didn't even take that bear!"

As the words fell, the huge hall instantly erupted in noisy agitation.

"If that's the case, then there's no accident, right?"

"That monster has been inside for fourteen... no! twelve days! Could he already be dead in there?"

"It shouldn't be that fast, right?"

"If it's a group mission, factoring in time flow, maybe only a few hours have passed over there.."

In the clamor, each Fourth Stage fugitive bore no semblance of simulating divinity; they resembled a band of criminals hiding in the mountains, discussing whether they could still get out.

There was no way; even though they had confirmed that the disaster's non-descent was stopped by Lin An, as long as Lin An wasn't dead for a day and they weren't certain what had become of his disappearance, they couldn't rest easy for a day.

Who knows when that monster will come charging? The corpses of those Fourth Stagers whose nations were annihilated are still in Lin An's hands!

"Quiet!"

A soft shout.

Compared to the chaotic Fourth Stage underlings, the God Lord, as the original fugitive leader, remained stern‑faced, seeming hardly emotional.

But deep inside, he also let out a great sigh of relief.

The judgment of a group mission was based on their past knowledge and speculation.

If it truly is such a difficult Five-Star Mission, then according to the information he roughly knows...

"Group missions are usually battlefields or confrontations!"

"The difficulty of Fifth Stage means at least over ten Fifth Stagers will appear!"

Recalling the Five-Star Missions his civilization had once participated in, the God Lord felt reassured.

Five-Star Missions are basically terror at its extreme! They fled back then because their strongest perished in the mission. At least over ten Fifth Stagers clash and slaughter! Such terrifying difficulty, in a sense, far surpasses stellar disasters of the same tier!

Just thinking that Lin An is only a Fourth Stage Peak, the God Lord couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, revealing a carefree smile.

That kid really is a monster; his Fourth Stage Peak power on Earth could be called invincible.

But truly facing Fifth Stage? He's an ant! Any Fifth Stager could torture‑kill him!

"God Lord, what should we do now?"

"Should we speed up, or just go out directly?"

In the agitated discussion, several Fourth Stage fugitives couldn't help but ask the original.

Having been trapped in the instance all this time, they've also consumed large energy reserves making cards. Frankly, if they don't go out to gather energy, they're just draining their lives!

The greatest threat has already disappeared; aside from that bear, the archery kid poses a slight threat to them.

The remaining human Fourth Stagers on Earth are utterly no match before them!

However, this was unexpected by the subordinates.

All that could be seen was on the throne: the original's eyes flickered, showing a hint of emotion, then he hesitantly shook his head.

"Wait a bit longer and see!"

"According to time flow, that monster's side likely only passed a few hours, or maybe one or two days!"

"Although that scoundrel might have died upon entering, but..

"Let's speed up, contact the humans we control, and first attack Long An! If this nail isn't pulled out, even if we later return to reality, it'll remain a hassle!"

The order given, the God Lord slowly rose, his gaze toward the Gate of Heaven.

Being cautious does no harm; it's just a delay of time.

Asia War Zone, China's northwest direction, Heiyu.

In the heavily guarded outskirts of Heiyu, surrounded like a fortress, a surge of black mist suddenly billowed.
