A hazy figure in the void lowered its head slightly.
Suddenly, it threw a punch!
Rumble!
A deafening roar!
In the next instant, the burly man was pulverized into dust without any resistance.
Not only that, the sky split open, the earth sank, and an area of a thousand miles fell into a doomsday-like scene.
This scene stunned everyone.
They all walked out of the command center, looking up at the anomaly in the sky. When they realized it was Lin Yu who made the move, they were all terrified.
So he was this powerful? What a pity for Iron Fist... they thought to themselves.
They were grateful they hadn't stuck their necks out, and grateful that the other party had a good temper and hadn't annihilated them without a word.
Judging by the strength the other party displayed, a hundred of them might not have been enough to win.
After all, once one reached the demigod stage, the advantage of numbers still existed, but it was no longer as significant.
A powerful pseudo-god could contend against a hundred demigods, though such situations were rare, they did exist.
"Everyone, let's go apologize!" the Marshal sighed.
He possessed an incredibly strong intuition, which allowed him to sense Lin Yu's power, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was. Now that he had witnessed Lin Yu's strength, it was so immense that it almost made him see the shadow of a god. Therefore, he couldn't sit still and insisted on apologizing to quell the other party's anger.
He had once had the fortune to witness a god's power, a scene deeply etched in his memory. The aura emanating from the person before him bore a striking resemblance.
This meant that the other party had already touched the realm of divinity!
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
The others were anything but calm, and they all said, "Marshal, please lead us to apologize!"
They felt uneasy, for facing an opponent they couldn't defeat, they also feared the other party might suddenly lash out.
They approached, and Lin Yu looked at the group, smiling, "Just now, a little fly provoked me, and my younger brother killed him. You won't be angry, will you?"
Nonsense.
Did they dare to be angry?
They grumbled internally but wore fawning smiles on their faces.
"Senior, we don't know that person!"
"That's right, a piece of trash who dared to provoke a senior, if he were still alive, I would have killed him for you!"
"Senior, how about we invite you for a cup of tea?"
"..."
Everyone was respectfully ingratiating. Lin Yu sighed, deeply moved, realizing that strength truly commanded respect.
"No need for tea. Prepare the rent quickly. I'll come again tomorrow; don't make me come for nothing!" Lin Yu added as a reminder.
Upon hearing this, everyone readily agreed.
Originally, they had had many reservations about this, but after witnessing Lin Yu's strength, how could they dare to object?
Although their world also had gods, that god was already old and would not intervene unless the survival of their race was at stake.
Furthermore, this world did not permit gods to enter.
"Senior, where are you going?"
Lin Yu did not answer them but headed towards the last location.
According to the intelligence provided by the Inner Cabinet, there were three locations the Inner Cabinet could not handle. He had already dealt with two, leaving only the last one.
With plenty of daylight left, he quickened his pace, intending to reach it as quickly as possible.
Thirty thousand miles from the human mainland.
This was the living area of the Western humans. Before the Eastern humans had demigods, their status was low, and they could only serve as mercenaries for other races, living a very harsh life.
Since the rise of the Eastern humans, who ruled a vast territory, including their region, the status of the Western humans had soared, and they became honored guests of various races, enjoying unparalleled prestige.
However, two days prior, a major event had occurred that nearly led to the annihilation of their entire race.
Gazing at the enormous spatial gate suspended above their territory, Andrew, the leader of the Western humans, wore a worried expression.
"The aura is getting stronger and stronger, and this spatial gate is still expanding. It's already over five thousand meters high!" he muttered to himself.
"Leader, we have already reported it to the Inner Cabinet, but they seem to be overwhelmed as well. What should we do?" his subordinate asked.
Andrew sighed, "Let's wait and see. We don't even have a single demigod; we are utterly incapable of handling events of this magnitude. We can only wait for the Inner Cabinet."
"Yes!"
Since joining the Inner Cabinet, their status had risen significantly. Because the Eastern humans were too powerful, they naturally obeyed them diligently, not daring to harbor any wild ambitions.
After all, their talent for cultivation was far inferior to that of the Eastern humans. Although they could awaken innate abilities, the quality of those talents also lagged behind the East, coupled with their population being less than a tenth of the East's. Thus, the East had become their backing.
Facing a spatial gate exceeding the ninth order, they were helpless and could only await support from the Inner Cabinet.
They waited for several days like this, and the spatial gate continued to expand.
From its initial few meters high, it had grown to over five thousand meters, and its expansion speed was increasing.
"This is bad! The spatial gate has grown another thousand meters!" someone exclaimed in alarm.
"Not good! It's getting faster!"
Everyone was greatly alarmed.
The spatial gate went from five thousand meters to six thousand meters.
Seven thousand meters!
Eight thousand meters!
Nine thousand meters!
Ten thousand meters!
It only stopped then.
A ten-thousand-meter-tall gate appeared in the sky above.
Not only could they see it, but people a hundred miles away could also clearly observe it.
"Why is it expanding so rapidly?"
"It must be ten thousand meters by now, right?"
"I have a bad feeling. Something colossal will emerge from it."
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, why would they enlarge the spatial gate so much?"
"Look, what is that?"
"..."
Everyone stared in astonishment at the colossal being emerging from the spatial gate.
It was a monstrous creature with a wolf's head and a bull's body, estimated to be seven to eight thousand meters tall. Its length was even more staggering, at least over ten thousand meters long.
This was their first time seeing such a colossal being, and they were stunned into silence for a long time.
Roar!
A wolf's howl echoed.
The wolf-headed, bull-bodied monster lowered its head, looking down at the beings below.
"I am the mount of the Rock God: Niu Lang! This place has been requisitioned by my God. All you mortal beings, depart quickly!" the monster's voice was calm, seemingly negotiating, but in reality, it was a command.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was filled with unease.
Niu Lang, seeing that the mortal beings below did not respond, its eyes flashed red, and its tone became unfriendly, "Since you do not retreat, my God has an infinite underworld to claim your souls!"
This was a case of persuasion before force. Who would have thought that a monster combining a wolf and a bull would be so polite?
Andrew glanced back at his people, gritted his teeth, and said, "This is our territory. You are newcomers, and you expect us to just leave?"
They had finally obtained a place to survive, a place they had built with great effort. If they left now, all their hard work would be in vain, and he was truly reluctant to do so.
