Chapter 240: Chapter 167: God Combo Skill!

Lin Lan examined the Celestial Official before her.

Though she wasn’t tall, the robe made of nanomaterial was simple, adorned with the Eye of Celestial Principle. Her young face and perfect demeanor evoked an unmistakable sense of being otherworldly.

Lin Lan subconsciously thought of the mechanical servant Bai, whose aura was nearly identical to the Celestial Official before her.

They both felt like dolls imbued with souls.

"Take me there now," Lin Lan nodded gently toward her.

"Please follow me, Lord Lin Lan."

The Celestial Official walked directly towards the nearest grand doorway, choosing the shortest path, moving through the bodies of the young man in the black robe and the female attendant holding a knife.

Only then did Lin Lan realize the figure was merely a hologram, visible only to him.

Perhaps every Humanity Monarch here had their own guiding Celestial Official...

Lin Lan pondered as he followed her pace.

Along the way, people turned their heads, intrigued by the young man’s simple attire, but their reactions held more vigilance and hostility.

Each additional Civilization Leader in this hall meant one more competitor for them.

Lin Lan passed by an old king collapsed on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

He thought for a moment and extended a hand, patting the old king’s shoulder: "Don’t give up; we’ll always find hope."

The young man’s words seemed to possess some magical power, gradually halting Alfonso III’s sobbing.

The old king lifted his head in confusion, only to see the back of a young figure. He remained silent for a moment before slowly sitting up straight and adjusting the iron crown on his head.

He had always been a steadfast monarch.

He had repeatedly told his descendants to be fearless on the future path, and they had revered the glory he carved out with blade and fire. Yet, he was the first to crumble...

"Pitiful, in my old age..."

The old king wiped the bloodstains from his face and smiled bitterly.

He knew he had just succumbed to madness, and if he returned like this, who knows what he might do to his people...

Alfonso took a deep breath and remembered the young man’s back.

"By the way, since this is Dr. Tianli’s Divine Kingdom, where is the doctor now?"

Lin Lan asked the guiding Celestial Official.

"I have no permission to observe the doctor, Lord Lin Lan."

The Bionic Celestial Official simply shook her head and paused, turning to show the young man a standard smile: "We’ve arrived."

The magnificent doors stood before them, their ornate surface etched with engravings that seemed to record millennia.

Lin Lan wasted no time. He reached out and pushed the doors open forcefully.

In the next moment, the scene changed rapidly.

The entire hall collapsed into countless streams of light made of numbers and formulas, intertwining, colliding, combining, dissolving, and calculating new answers.

The door boomed open!

The cold sea breeze entered his nostrils, and the familiar secret base unfolded before his eyes. Unexpectedly, Lin Lan returned to his Lord’s Mansion.

Yet, he saw Lucia’s now pale face in the next second.

Lin Lan stepped forward, crouched down, before the blonde girl. Tears glistened at the corner of her eyes as she clutched a piece of a broken dark wing and a shattered left single-action revolver.

Lucia had lost her breath, some great sharp weapon piercing her heart.

Slowly, Lin Lan stood up, his coat fluttering in the icy wind, his gaze moving outward, where fragments of the Bionic Mechanical Servants scattered everywhere, and the walls of his Lord’s Mansion had completely collapsed.

All of Seagull City lay in ruins, unbearable to witness. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A blizzard covered the skies, as the Empire’s Nightmare Calamity had evidently struck Ark Island.

Everywhere lay torn bodies of the people, the elderly, women, children... all holding Ash Soil weapons, clearly resisting till their final moments.

The earth trembled, battle cries rang endlessly, as some Sun Warriors continued to fight to their deaths.

Boom!

A giant mechanical centipede dozens of meters long burst forth, screeching a piercing roar to the sky!

It quickly climbed and coiled around Seagull City’s administrative building, which collapsed in an instant, burying several Golden Armor-clad warriors beneath the ruins.

"Lin Lan..."

The black cat meowed nervously; it was the first time it saw such a terrifying expression on the young man’s face.

"I’m fine." Lin Lan shook his head, quickly regaining his composure.

All of this, after all, was just an equation.

"Sworn to protect Lord Lin Lan!"

Nearby came shouting, as a dozen Sun Warriors gathered around.

"Lord Lin Lan, I pledge my allegiance to you unto death. Please, give your command!"

The leading Sun Legion Commander had a vacant expression as he slammed his right fist against his heart.

Lin Lan scrutinized the ’Jay’ before him, his eyes slightly narrowing. He noticed that Jay’s demeanor had matured somewhat; indeed, the Celestial Principle Divine Kingdom simulated the ’future’ of Seagull City.

But why were the warriors still wearing ’first-generation Sun Armor’? Why were there still only a few skyscrapers in Seagull City?

Lin Lan instantly caught a massive flaw in the simulation’s calculation.

Could it be that Dr. Tianli can only calculate future trends based on current conditions?

"Jay, before the battle erupted, what was our total troop strength?"

Lin Lan asked solemnly.

The Sun Legion Commander opened his mouth, reporting in a dull tone: "Fifty Sun Warriors and less than a thousand militiamen..."

"Incorrect! The technology of Seagull City has already achieved a breakthrough."

In ’Jay’s’ bewildered gaze, Lin Lan shook his head: "Priest Ansel crafted second-generation armor, and Vera, the surveyor, optimized our login coordinates to the Divine Kingdom..."

Once again, the mechanical centipede emitted a venomous hiss.

It shifted its sharp, dense limbs, its massive body sweeping towards the ruins of the Lord’s Mansion!

Suddenly, the world turned dark, the wind and snow howling.

Even though the giant insect had set its sights on the crowd, Lin Lan calmly spoke about the recent changes in the Ark Kingdom, as if the communication wasn’t with these Sun Warriors, but with a future world engulfed in apocalypse.

Amazingly, as the ’declaration’ and ’correction’ from the Foreigner unfolded, changes indeed occurred in the world!

Time just froze there, only to see streams of data wrapping around the warriors’ bodies.

The world data is updating!

Updating with the Foreigner’s mighty power, updating with character cards that originally didn’t exist in the world!

The next instant, the ruins buried under the administrative main building exploded with brilliant sunlight.

The men cleared the rubble from their shoulders, the power furnaces burning fiercely in their chest, their backs unfurling fiery light wings!

In the snowstorm, the eyes of the Celestial Official were watching everything.

"The Doctor was indeed correct..."

The bionic Celestial Official murmured softly: "You are indeed the only variable."

On the ground not far away, another hundred Sun Warriors clad in golden armor appeared out of nowhere, raising their hand cannons aimed at the mechanical giant insect struck with daze and confusion!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The light cannons shredded the wind and snow, raining upon the Nightmare.

The gigantic mechanical centipede was instantly blasted and flipped over, spinning in agony, and the battlefield’s situation was reversed in a blink!

Lin Lan let out a sigh of relief.

Indeed, as Seagull City advanced in reality, the basic conditions in the replica world were also changing!

In the gaze of the Ark Leader, the Sun Warriors charged forward with grim smiles, the giant sword burning with Sunlight Flame easily sank into the Nightmare centipede’s steel body, and the giant insect’s chilling wails echoed in the snowstorm, gradually weakening.

[Holy Spirit Points +1]

Eh?

Lin Lan immediately froze in place.

This world is clearly a simulated calculation, so why can he gain Apocalypse Points?

Could it be that Dr. Tianli is using his power to try to rid the Apocalypse Contamination clinging to his body?

Lin Lan looked at the system panel, his eyes slowly lighting up.

No wonder, this old thing survived from the Second Era to the Age of Navigation...

So, the Celestial Calamity is constantly suffering casualties, and the simulated soldiers I’ve ’corrected’ will refresh every time they enter the replica?

Lin Lan’s breath began to quicken slightly.

He can not only harvest points but even bring the real Sun Soldiers here to train, and they likewise won’t face true death.

——Because this is not just Dr. Tianli’s calculated Celestial Kingdom; this is also the replica of the Foreigner’s character cards!

Gah! This is the combined technique of Dr. Tianli, the Foreigner, and the Eternal Fierce Sun!

"Woohoo! We’ve finally got some points!"

The black cat had already seen the system prompt pop up, pawing at the text with glowing eyes: "Lin Lan! We are truly amazing! Quickly, allocate the points to me, meow!"

Lin Lan raised his palm, naturally displaying his character card without hesitation.

Captain Ota! Allocate points!

Vivian: ...

The black cat lay on the panel, staring straight at Lin Lan, her gaze growing more and more resentful...
