Chapter 66 Seed of Immortal Fate
Chapter 66 Seed of Immortal Fate
Within just half an hour, dozens of avatars that were still flashing turned lifeless gray!
The once bustling chat channel instantly fell silent.
Passerby A (Rank F): "What happened?! Wasn't Li Ming hiding in the officially announced absolute safe zone? How did he die too?!"
[Passerby B (Rank E): "This is insane... This secret realm has gone mad! The great calamity has begun, and demons are everywhere, their eyes bloodshot with rage. I just saw a giant demon pass through the safe zone and swallow over a hundred people whole!"]
Passerby C (Level D): "Don't go out, don't go out even if you die. It's the last three days, don't risk your life for some damn opportunity!"
In this atmosphere of despair.
Suddenly, someone posted an abrupt message in the channel.
[Anonymous: "By the way...did you guys notice that the person who drew the F-rank 'Ordinary Raven' identity at the beginning...his avatar is still lit up?"]
There was a slight pause in the group chat after those words were spoken.
This was followed by a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
"Tch, so what if I survived?"
"A hairy beast without even hands, probably hiding in some rat hole gnawing on mud for the past six months."
"Exactly, this high-dimensional secret realm is all about the rewards. What can a mere crow use to steal cultivation techniques? What can it use to seize magical treasures?"
"No matter how long you live, if you gain nothing, you'll still be a useless piece of trash without even true energy when you return to Earth. It's all for nothing, what's there to discuss?"
The group quickly put this trivial incident behind them and continued to pray in fear for the countdown to their return.
Looking at those self-righteous mockers on the screen.
Lin Yuan simply smiled faintly and casually closed the channel.
How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
Three days later, the two realms overlapped.
When that ten-zhang-tall golden crow descended upon Blue Star, when the celestial light of the Supreme Purity illuminated the night sky.
They will then understand what a true dimensional reduction attack is!
……
At the same time.
The main world, Blue Star.
Located thousands of meters underground in a top-secret military base.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
A blinding red light flashed on the huge holographic combat screen.
Several veteran generals adorned with star-studded badges, along with a group of core scholars from a think tank dressed in white coats, were staring intently at the data on the large screen.
"Bang!"
An elderly general with gray hair slammed his fist hard on the alloy tabletop, making the teacups jump around.
"Another city!"
"Just last night, a coastal city in the Land of Sakura was suddenly attacked by a mythological projection!"
"The phantom of the Yamata no Orochi, a creature that only exists in ancient legends, has descended into reality. It not only unleashed a tsunami but also released a terrifying poisonous miasma."
"The Japanese military mobilized three divisions, and even went so far as to detonate a nuclear bomb with a yield of ten megatons on its own soil, just to barely shatter that phantom!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gasped in shock.
Nuclear bomb!
This is already the ultimate weapon that humanity currently possesses.
However, when faced with those mythical phantoms that gradually revived as the secret realm descended, they seemed to be in a very difficult position.
"The process of spiritual revival is accelerating exponentially."
A chief scholar from a think tank pushed up his glasses, his face pale.
"The spatial barriers of Earth are becoming increasingly fragile. If we cannot master a systematic array of extraordinary powers as soon as possible, once the true mythical demons descend into reality, human civilization... will be destroyed."
The meeting room fell into dead silence.
"Hope... will come in three days."
The old general took a deep breath and turned his gaze to another screen.
There was a list on it, densely packed.
"Retrieve the final evaluation report of the 'Immortal Seed Players'!" the old general ordered in a deep voice.
"yes!"
A young officer's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.
The screen flashed, and several resumes marked with gold top-secret files appeared before everyone's eyes.
The officer pointed to the screen and began a rapid report:
"Sir, after our think tank's round-the-clock monitoring and analysis, we have selected the 'Seeds of Destiny' from among tens of thousands of surviving explorers who hold the greatest promise of leading Earth out of its predicament!"
"First place: Su Qinghan. A-level compatibility, daughter of a military family in Xiqi. According to surveillance footage, she was spotted by a passing third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, who imparted to her a fragment of the 'Jade Purity Sword Manual.' She has already cultivated innate true qi and possesses extremely high swordsmanship talent!"
The old general nodded slightly: "Indeed, the Jade Purity lineage is genuine; this is an extremely precious seed of fire."
"Second place, Lei Xiao. B-level compatibility, Chaoge Imperial Guard. By chance, he swallowed a beast's inner core, awakened the Thunder Spirit Root, and has a powerful physical body. He is highly respected among the lower-level explorers."
"The third one..."
The officer quickly reported several names.
Each of them was either incredibly lucky or a prodigy who obtained the cultivation method during the past six months through sheer luck or astonishing perseverance.
Until the last file was reported.
The officer's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, even revealing a hint of unbelievable absurdity.
"Reporting to the commander... This last seeded player has an extremely special situation."
The officer took a deep breath and zoomed in on the file.
Two words appeared on the screen: Lin Yuan!
Next to the name, there is a glaring red rating: [F-level/Ordinary Raven]!
"Um?"
The old general frowned and suddenly stood up.
"Nonsense!"
"How could a mere F-rank cannon fodder bird, unable to even cultivate techniques, be included in the highest-level 'Seeds of Immortality' list? Are your think tank members just sitting around doing nothing?!"
Faced with the old general's anger, the chief scholar stepped forward, his expression extremely solemn.
"Sir, please calm down. Including Lin Yuan on the list was a decision unanimously passed by the entire think tank!"
"Why?" the old general asked, barely suppressing his anger.
The chief scholar pulled up a complex data model and pointed to the fluctuating curves that looked like gibberish.
"First, the survival rate. In this SSS+ level secret realm with a mortality rate as high as 95%, for an ordinary crow with no ability to protect itself to survive to the last three days is a miracle in terms of probability!"
"Secondly, and most importantly!"
The scholar's voice began to tremble slightly.
"Sir, please look at his coordinates."
"Just a few months ago, the authorities enabled the sharing of Lin Yuan's location to help an explorer who discovered the Immortal Vine."
"Initially, his coordinates were shown outside Chaoge City. But when we tried to use the highest-level 'Heavenly King' agents lurking in the secret realm to secretly track and protect him..."
"All the top-tier experts, and even the computing power of our Blue Star's mainframe, have suffered terrifying interference!"
The scholar swallowed hard, his eyes filled with awe.
"His location coordinates seemed to have been erased by some inexplicable, supreme force!"
"Any array that attempts to deduce his cause and effect will collapse instantly, and may even backfire on the operator."
"This level of celestial concealment is far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary crow. We have reason to suspect..."
The scholar's voice was kept extremely low.
"Lin Yuan may very well have inadvertently touched upon some forbidden artifact in this mythical world!"
