Chapter 1587: Global Conference

Bang!!

After sweeping away and destroying the largest central temple with a single sword, Lin An hesitated for a moment, but still chose to gather up the Faith Power collected by these fugitives.

Although he couldn't absorb it, it might still be useful.

The next second, amidst the sky‑filled dust and firelight, Lin An raised his head to look at the sky, silently waiting for this instance world to reboot.

Soon, under his indiscriminate attack, the instance's origin system quickly detected that the 'gear' jamming the instance had already disappeared.

In a violent tremor, the whole world seemed to collapse and vanish, land crumbling into darkness inch by inch, as everything began to turn into pure nothingness.

Seeing the familiar reboot screen, Lin An immediately noticed the clueless, panicked, weeping humans in the city.

These instance NPCs, not knowing what the instance reboot meant, all fled desperately; the desperate knelt on the ground, praying to gods that no longer existed.

He did not intend to destroy this place, nor did he want everyone to die.

Like a data turbulence, the sky was gradually disappearing.

Lin An shook his head slightly, a fleeting, imperceptible sigh flashing in his eyes.

Reboot, at least, signified a new beginning.

After he had eliminated the fugitives of this instance world, the instance world itself was essentially a stagnant pool, heading only toward a foul, lifeless, rotting abyss.

Under Hai En's deliberate transformation, the humans of this world, aside from himself, had all lost their reproductive ability.

Moreover, the progressively intensifying radiation and mental distortion had already warped the minds of this world's humans.

Lin An thought seriously.

Realizing that, rather than letting the humans of this instance fall into long‑term self‑destruction and despair after his departure, it would be better to start anew.

"The jammed gear..."

Matter turned into data streams.

Darkness devoured everything.

Watching the astonishing world reboot screen, Lin An whispered silently, as if a flash of the Secret Realm's reboot passed before his eyes.

Just like the Secret Realm that had endured for thousands of years.

The fugitives' method was clever: by turning the main‑line NPCs into 'living dead', the entire world's main line got stuck.

But the second time he watched the world reboot, subconsciously Lin An couldn't help but think of Earth, of reality.

"Everything has turned back into the original data; everything is an illusion."

"Reboot... reincarnation... beginning..."

"Earth, is it also jammed...."

"And is my rebirth also a reboot...."

With an inexplicable low chuckle, Lin An calmly gazed at the darkness before him.

Until the moment when light was reborn.

"Lin Dui!? You came out!?"

"Did you take care of those monsters!?"

Inside the valley where a mass evacuation was underway, Zhang Tie stared in shock at the returning Lin An.

As Lin Dui said, he went to exterminate those damned vermin!

How the hell long did that take!? He finished them off already!?

Being dragged by a large number of Awakened Ones, the giant tree that was trying to be stuffed into a spatial transporter also couldn't help but stare in astonishment at the suddenly appearing Lin An.

He understood better than Long An's people what Lin An had gone to do!

Although he no longer cared about the life or death of his own kin, the rabbit‑dies‑fox‑mourns feeling made him feel it wasn't fake!

Especially, he instantly sensed a strong bloody aura emanating from Lin An!

That was the blood of those fugitives!

"No."

"They're hiding."

In his hesitation, Lin An somewhat amusedly watched Zhang Tie shouting and jumping around him.

Theoretically speaking, he had actually already counted as having dealt with these fugitives.

That bunch of useless ones hid, not daring to come out; self‑sealed, they could hardly affect reality anymore.

Especially, after he killed his way into this instance, the fugitives had been intimidated into total seclusion, not daring to emerge at all.

But for Lin An, if he hadn't killed them all, it didn't count as resolved.

"No?"

"They're hiding!?"

Zhang Tie froze at the sound, then in an instant wore an expression of indifference.

If there aren't any, then there aren't any; if they're hiding, just ignore them—anyway, Lin Dui is this strong now, who cares where those useless bastards are hiding!

If they dare to come out, just kill them offhand!

He now cared more about what exactly had happened to Lin An; he wanted... to go home together with Lin An!

Lin Dui, you must be exhausted!

Unlike Zhang Tie's careless attitude, the giant tree beside him, hearing that Lin An couldn't finish off everyone, secretly let out a big sigh of relief.

For some reason, his original fear of Lin An suddenly diminished greatly.

It turned out that the seemingly monstrous, invincible Lin An was actually just like that...

After all, even the system couldn't clean them up, let alone a human like Lin An.

He paid no attention to the giant tree's little thought.

Lin An nodded, his gaze sweeping over the entire scene.

In the giant tree's eyes, he might be seen as having suffered a setback; among the escapees, he could guess with his toes what these trash would think.

But only Lin An himself knows that he still has an unused card in his hand.

He merely thought of not leaving any future trouble; Lin An decided to settle other matters first before speaking.

He has too much to do.

Let those escapees jump around for a few more days.

Fifth Stage, Chu An, Faction: Long An, Overseer, Blood Corpse Li Lei...

There really is too much to handle, but Lin An still decided to go back for a trip; in fact, he also couldn't wait to meet Chu An.

Especially, the original liquid of the amoeba worm in the laboratory.

This matter concerns whether he can achieve Fifth Stage through faith!!

"What about Mo Ling?"

"Did Gao Tian and them go back first to heal their wounds?"

Thinking of returning first, Lin An glanced over and unexpectedly discovered that Mo Ling, Jing Tian, Gao Tian, and others were missing.

Noticing that little Mo Ling seemed to have undergone some change, he was still curious about what exactly had happened to Mo Ling.

Given his understanding of little Mo Ling, Mo Ling should be waiting here for him to return together.

"Lin Dui! Mo Ling had something come up and left first! She said it was a Heiyu matter! It looks urgent!"

"But don't worry, she said it's nothing major; after she handles it, she'll return to Faction: Long An!"

"As for Gao Tian that kid... he seems unable to absorb that birdman's power, so I directly sent him back first!"

Scratching his head, Zhang Tie looked at Lin An with utter impatience, as if he had a bellyful of questions to ask.

Not only him, but the large number of Long An Awakened Ones around also were extremely curious, looking at him with reverence.

Everyone wanted to know what had happened to Lin An.

Especially for Tai Er and Luo En, they also wanted to know why Lin An's strength had surged to this extent! Or rather, they wanted to know even more what Lin An planned to do next!

With Lin An's terrifying strength... could it... unify the world? End this apocalypse!!

"Lin Dui, do we still need to do something here?!"

Under the audience's anxious and reverent gaze, Lin An pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

All that could be seen was him first looking toward Luo En:

"Luo En, if it's convenient for you, help me gather the major forces in North America, including these children; you take them to first establish a Safe Zone."

"If you can get in touch with Andre, then have him come see me."

After giving the instructions in a low voice, Lin An gestured for Luo En to bring Anduyin and others to stay in North America first.

Now the North American battlefield is almost completely in chaos.

Although the escapees who detonated the corpse tide and the annihilators are dead, high-level mutants have nearly been killed off by him.

But the earlier chaos was truly too severe.

Except for the people here who know exactly what happened, to outside survivors it seems like just the most terrifying natural disaster!

With people uneasy and fleeing in panic, Lin An still intends to have Luo En step forward to first stabilize the North American battlefield before speaking.

Hearing Lin An's tone, like that of giving orders to subordinates, Luo En's expression froze, then he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Perhaps he had been arrogant before, always aiming to surpass Lin An.

After this battle, he has completely dispelled that notion.

How could a human possibly compare to a monster!!

But is it that Lin An has him step forward to gather North America? Is this...

His heart pounding, realizing that Lin An is the thickest thigh, Luo En's heart jolted, and his mind began to wander wildly.

But he also feels somewhat torn; he actually still really wants to know what happened to Lin An.

However, looking at Lin An's appearance, he seems not intending to explain it to them.

Noticing Luo En's excited yet complex expression, Lin An smiled and simply turned his gaze to the anxious Tai Er and others.

Before Tai Er could look at him with a complex expression, wanting to say something, Lin An waved his hand and spoke again:

"As for my affairs, after a period of time, I will invite all third-rank Awakened Ones worldwide to go to Faction: Long An to attend a meeting."

"At the meeting, I will disclose this information. Not only my strength issue, but also many matters concerning the apocalypse and how to counter disasters in the future, I will also discuss them with everyone."

Surprisingly, his words shocked; before the many high-level officials of the Soviet battlefield could react in surprise, Lin An smiled and looked seriously at his old friend Tai Er.

To be frank, the Soviets performed well this time; even though they realized they had been deceived by him, they still willingly fought for him.

"I will find a way to help the Soviet battlefield compensate for your losses this time."

"Tai Er, I hope we will have another chance to fight side by side."

Hearing Lin An's sincere, friendly praise.

Tai Er and the others' old faces turned red, and they suddenly felt somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

Lin An is too strong, to the extent that even though they are the highest level of the Soviets, facing Lin An's single word of approval still gives them a sense of panic.

Fight side by side?

No no no... Knowing deep down that they are just making up the numbers, Tai Er gave a bitter smile, daring not to really think that.

Global high-rank conference?!

About the apocalypse, about Earth's future!!

What Lin An means is!!

All being high-ranking officials, hearing Lin An's casually mentioned arrangement, the entire high-level audience was shocked, exchanging glances, all thinking of the same thing.

Lin An's words, perhaps he intends to...!?

In the shock, within the Soviet battlefield, Tai Er took a deep breath, intending to first ignore this news.

He first looked toward the Soviet High Level behind him, then couldn't help but cautiously look toward Lin An.

A few seconds later, as if he had discussed with the entire Soviet High Level hundreds of times, he gathered his courage and spoke loudly.

Marshal Lei En!

You're being too polite!

We fight for you! Isn't that what we should do!?

Rest assured! When the meeting begins, our entire Soviet High Level will definitely always stand by your side!

Lin An:???
