Chapter 1832

In the silent space, two figures floating above near-Earth orbit were like extraterrestrial visitors, motionless as a frozen meteorite.

Clutching the crystal in his hand and a card, Lin An stared blankly at the spot where No. 77 had disappeared.

No. 77 just left like that, silently, as if it had never appeared.

If it weren't for the system light screen before him having been updated, the Abyssal Skeleton would still be standing beside him.

At this very moment, Lin An even felt that this was just a dream.

"Beep, the task panel has been updated."

"Current accepted task: Ghost Skull"

"Task time limit countdown: 719 hours"

"Warning: Please enter the Special Event【Ghost Skull】scene within 719 hours; this task is counted as an Apocalypse Civilization task."

"Maximum civilized members that can be carried: 10, highest entry level: Sixth Stage Peak"

"Task reward: 100 Apocalypse Points,???"

The text was bright red, the explanation brief.

Seeing No. 77 assign him this special task, Lin An's heart jolted; he instantly realized this wasn't the task that No. 77 had previously claimed he needed to switch to?

Thinking of that big eyeball, although it claimed it hadn't schemed against him, Lin An, after a brief thought, realized that if he didn't have the Star Battlefield incident, he would likely have been directly thrown into this task to test whether he had the potential to walk the Three Systems path.

"Special Event【Ghost Skull】... does it help the soul and thought?"

Lin An frowned slightly, and in an instant, the profound gaze of No. 77 flashed before his eyes.

That big eyeball seemed to have seen through... no, it was the answer to the Trinity he had previously pondered; this Overseer had already known it.

He also thought that preemptively splitting his thoughts to adapt to the Three Systems required supplementing this kind of power.

"Is preemptively splitting thoughts truly the only solution? So No. 77 had already thought of what I thought of?"

With too little information, the tacit understanding between him and this supreme being made it hard for Lin An to judge whether there was any hidden agenda behind this.

But this at least meant his line of thinking was correct.

After completing the Ghost Skull task, he would have the qualifications to officially embark on the Three Systems path!

No longer thinking further, Lin An took a deep breath, simply listened to the final admonition left by No. 77 for him, then returned to Earth.

Whether it was nervousness nearing home or not, looking at the blue planet beneath his feet, Lin An unexpectedly felt a hint of tension. If No. 77 hadn't told him everyone was safe, he wouldn't want to waste even a minute!

Thinking of the fugitives on Earth, in an instant, a flash of brutality, tinged with a hint of cruel killing intent, flickered in Lin An's eyes.

Kill them all! Eat them all! Blast the so-called divine kingdom of these rats!

Although he gained enormously from this trip, perhaps even the greatest profit he's ever had since his rebirth! In a sense, he turned misfortune into fortune!

But for Lin An, these fugitives forced him to risk his life and forcibly enter the Fifth Stage battlefield; this debt, he would never let the other side off the hook no matter what!

Under such intense killing intent, even the silent Abyssal Skeleton standing beside Lin An seemed to feel it, its deathly white eyes twitching slightly.

"Lin An, after returning to Earth, if you want to condense Faith Power, you must only be able to establish an embryonic form."

"Do not attempt to alone assault the Fifth Stage; if you wish to walk the Three Systems path, it's best that all your power belongs to one level, then break through simultaneously."

"Moreover, condensing Faith Power is extremely dangerous. What your image is in the believers' hearts determines your【Divine Status】! In the data I left for you, there are many records of Faith System promotions."

The information was similarly brief; in the final admonition left by No. 77, there was no clear instruction on exactly what Lin An should do.

It was as if the path of Faith required Lin An to choose and think for himself.

"Divine Status... does this mean letting me first consider what kind of god to become, then condense?"

"My image determines the condensation effect... is this warning me not to lightly use my own power, lest it affect faith?"

Thinking quickly, a flash of realization crossed Lin An's eyes.

The information left by No. 77 is not hard to understand.

In fact, as early as during his time in Houston, Lin An realized that his image would indeed affect the Faith Power given to him by believers.

He was brutal and murderous; the believers would also become bloodthirsty and belligerent, and the transmitted thoughts were all vengeful.

On the path of Faith, the relationship between deity and believers is integral. Once the condensed Faith encounters a problem, as the Faith Power impacts, even the deity will be assimilated, ultimately becoming the believers' 'puppet'! Losing oneself!

His eyes flickered, Lin An nodded slightly, also understanding the importance of this admonition from No. 77.

It is obvious that his current power is already too great. Every time he manifests now, it will inevitably cause a global shock, leaving humanity an extremely shocking and profound impression!

If he wants to condense suitable Faith Power, of course he cannot act as recklessly as before!

"My previous image isn't very good.."

He let out a low chuckle; Lin An recalled the titles various war zones had bestowed upon him before, and his expression inevitably turned a bit strange.

Demon Lin An, Human Butcher, Evil God Monster, Lin An's Calamity...!

Aside from the people of Faction: Long An and that batch in Houston who think well of him, hardly anyone on Earth doesn't fear him.

He exhaled lightly, Lin An turned off the information, subconsciously lowered his head to look at the data and crystal left by No. 77 for him, hesitated a moment, but still planned to check them after returning.

There are too many things to handle.

The Three Systems data is also too much.

He couldn't finish reading it in a short while; although he still had many things unchecked, at this moment he was truly eager to return home.

Just looking at the Abyssal Skeleton beside him, Lin An was about to blurt out a request for it to keep up, but he swallowed the words instantly.

Forget it, let this guy enter the subspace.

The appearance of Shen Yuan's Corpse is too terrifying; even this Death Star-level expert, having restrained all his aura, stands motionless beside him like a wooden post.

But even with Lin An's current strength, he can still continuously feel an extremely strong pressure.

That pressure spontaneously arises from the overwhelming rules and physique; it's as if a 'True God' cannot be gazed upon.

Letting Shen Yuan's Corpse accompany him back to Earth would probably drive many people mad.

"Hmm... Shen Yuan's Corpse?"

"What should I call you? Can you enter the subspace by yourself?"

Lin An felt a bit embarrassed as he circled the Shen Yuan skeleton a few times, feeling depressed to discover that No. 77, before leaving, hadn't told him how to put the other away.

Before Lin An could even consider whether to contact the Overseer to ask how exactly to use this thing,

The next second, the Shen Yuan skeleton, resembling a sculpture, suddenly moved, bowed slightly toward him, and instantly tore open a hundred-meter-long spatial rift with bare hands, vanishing before his eyes.

The skeleton vanished, and the violently torn spatial rift resembled a huge scar, hanging in low Earth orbit.

Seeing such a violent scene, Lin An immediately gulped.

Holy shit... this guy is kinda fierce..

Is he even more aloof than me?

I don't know whether the Shen Yuan skeleton is ignoring him out of laziness or, like a machine, only follows the order to protect him.

Lin An gave a wry smile, not caring about the attitude of this dead-star-level powerhouse.

It doesn't matter; as long as it can protect him, that's fine.

In his perception, at this moment a point of light appeared directly in his Thought Space; as soon as he thinks, the Shen Yuan skeleton can instantly burst forth from subspace and crush everything!

"Return!"

Withdrawing his thought, Lin An's eyes beneath his mask flashed with excitement; after quickly sensing the general situation on the ground, he simply plunged his body into the atmosphere!

"I'm home!"

Long An, Mo Ling, Zhang Tie, Jing Tian..

"I.."

"I'm back!"
