Chapter 2031

Lin Dui? What is the Star Radiance War?

Shall we take the next mission?

Touching his shiny, gleaming forehead, Zhang Tie glanced at the transport gate above his head that could open at any moment, and at the somewhat dazed Lin An.

Just as they were figuring out how to redeem, Lin An suddenly told them they would be participating in some damn Star Radiance War.

Yes, we will all participate this time.

It's much safer than the Skull Ghost; I'll follow you guys.

After coming to his senses, Lin An looked at Zhang Tie, Gao Tian, and Jiang Haochen, and had no intention of hiding anything.

For now, don't rush to reach the Fifth Stage; if you want to become Fifth Stage, you can advance in the Star Radiance War. Depending on the situation, we'll continue with the next round later—maybe we'll earn extra rewards.

What 77 said was right; after realizing the whole plan, Lin An simply decided to bring the whole squad along to exploit a loophole.

According to the rules of the Star Radiance War, the Fourth Stage arena is all Fourth Stage; he reckoned that with his influence, he was enough to suppress the whole field with Zhang Tie and the others. Thus there were only benefits, no drawbacks.

Whether they follow him in the subsequent rush depends on how fast Zhang Tie and the others grow.

Lin An thought carefully; the Star Radiance War also greatly helps the members' growth, compared to slowly grinding and slowly growing. Life‑and‑death battles, fighting peers or even superiors, are what truly temper a person!

Especially..

(The trouble on 77's side is probably not as simple as Big Eye himself said. It could make him feel troubled, even pose a crisis of him hastily leaving; the difficulty is unimaginable. Although it's said that when the sky falls there's a tall person to rely on, if 77 runs into trouble, I won't be much better off.)

(And...)

Fully aware of how much pressure 77 had borne for him, Lin An clearly knew that his current ability to jump around alive and well was entirely thanks to 77's protection.

In the dark, he also constantly felt an intangible—no, a crisis pressing from all directions like Wu Yun, looming over his heart.

There are too many mysteries, and the potential dangers are also many.

Not counting the Shen Yuan Shroud that only acts when he himself is near death.

For him, the near threats include the Creator Alliance, the next Five-Star Mission; far off are his identity as a Destroyer, the Overseer of the Death Spiral Star System, Hei Di, and the Red Radiance Star Dragon...

Further out still are the barrier‑breaking crisis, and the unknown that caused 77 to say those words...

(How is Chu An supposed to wake up? I still have no clue. Asking 77... I daren't ask. But theoretically, maybe we could kill Chu An and then revive him with plenty of authority and points...)

(Faith expansion is also a problem; although the Faith Power transmitted lately has been fairly effective, neglecting it is impossible, and the construction of New Earth also needs to speed up...)

(The tech tree... Rule System cultivation... Shen Yuan... the Necropolis... my personal issues will eventually have to be resolved.)

(And more...)

(Mo Ling...)

There are too many things to consider; as he stepped into the return passage, Lin An's mind suddenly conjured the image of Mo Ling glaring angrily at him.

Mo Ling also harbors many secrets, although perhaps the matter he worries about has already been resolved by him.

But Lin An always feels it's not that simple.

Little Mo Ling is stubborn, and during his time away from Earth, who knows what he saw and what he learned.

Lin An frowned tightly, and could only sigh helplessly.

The road ahead is long...

Suppressing useless thoughts in his heart, accompanied by the familiar spatial transfer, Lin An took a deep breath and stopped thinking further.

But as his vision went black, he couldn't help but glance back at that empty void in the final second.

Heiyu.. crystal skull..

The savior forced to death.. Second Will..

What truth? What exactly is it?

He's back!

I, Hu Han San, am back again!

Wu Hu! ~

Urgh... ~!

In near-Earth orbit, the newly emerged Xiong Hanzi shouted happily, but as soon as he yelled, his whole body went limp like a noodle and he vomited into space.

There's no way around it; the side effects of the transfer are too great, even his constitution can't handle it.

Beside him, the stumbling Gao Tian looked helplessly at Zhang Tie, who was spinning and vomiting in zero gravity, wanting to avoid him yet also wanting to help.

Compared to the flustered Gao Tian pair, Jiang Haochen, who struggled to crawl out behind Lin An, still couldn't regain his strength, his whole self dazed.

Earth, he has returned.

He also helped with Lin An's affairs.

He also experienced the difficulty of the Fifth Stage.

But having gone through this, witnessing so many Fifth Stages and experiencing so many events, it was undoubtedly a huge shock for him.

The world is vast; even those as strong as Fifth Stage are merely ants.

In just a few short days, to him it felt like a lifetime apart, as if he had lived another life.

Are you okay?

Noticing that Jiang Haochen had been somewhat unaccustomed since the redemption point, Lin An could understand.

On Earth, Jiang Haochen's world was just that big; in his mind, the Fourth Stage was an invincible existence, an earthly war god. Suddenly undergoing this, it's easy to doubt life.

This is still fortunate, given that the Skull Ghost encounters are rare and there's been no fighting Fifth Stage. If returning from the Stellar Battlefield, % of people would be unable to adapt, even losing the courage to undertake the next mission.

All right.. Lin An..

Jiang Haochen gave a bitter smile, looking at Lin An with eyes full of complexity.

He actually hadn't told Gao Tian and the others; when Gao Tian inquired what could be redeemed for enhancement, his first reaction was to go buy some Apocalypse information.

Just as Lin An was first shocked by the true Apocalypse, a huge, void‑like, abyss‑sized pressure still leaves him breathless to this day.

Lin An..

Can we really survive...?

As the words fell, Lin An blinked slightly, then quickly realized what Jiang Haochen had seen.

After a moment of silence, a few seconds later Lin An smiled and nodded resolutely.

"Not only can we."

"We will still win!"

"Black Dragon?"

"What do you mean? You sensed the aura of your own kind!?"
