"Ten nine eight seven six five four three …"
The voice of the refined Golden Void Lightning was like a death knell.
An Lin was only a mortal now, so there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was choose to save one of the humans on the floating rocks.
That's right, he had to make a choice.
And this choice wasn't actually that difficult.
"Two, one …"
An Lin gritted his teeth and let loose a low roar before placing the blue bead into the hole on the left side of the stone slab.
He chose to save those six thousand people!
Boom!
The floating rock carrying four thousand people suddenly shattered.
Four thousand people fell from the sky amid bloodcurdling wails before being punctured by the sharp blades on the ground.
An Lin's body trembled with rage upon seeing this, but at the same time, his heart was filled with guilt.
The rock carrying six thousand people was finally able to continue to float in the air after being sustained by the energy.
However, after surviving the calamity, fear still shrouded the heads of the remaining six thousand humans.
They cried helplessly and hopelessly, making a fuss and crying …
Of course, there were some brave people who stepped forward to urge everyone to unite and find a way to escape from this strange space.
However, An Lin knew that this was impossible without the permission of the Golden Void Lightning.
"I've already made my choice. Hurry up and send everyone else back!" An Lin roared with rage.
"Don't panic, the story has only just begun …"
The refined Golden Void Lightning spoke in a faint voice.
Crack … The sound of another rock shattering erupted.
The huge floating rock suddenly split into two halves and kept moving away from each other.
Thus, the six thousand people were split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.
There were four thousand people on one side, while there were two thousand people on the other.
An Lin seemed to have realized something, and his eyes widened as his breathing accelerated. He clenched his fists tightly, and his fingernails dug into his palms, but he was completely oblivious to the pain.
He let loose a beastly roar. "You … what do you want?"
A poisonous mist suddenly descended from the murky space.
Six thousand people fell to the ground in agony, gripping their necks as they wailed in anguish.
"So … so painful …"
"Help! Can someone save me?"
"I'm going to die! I feel like my entire body is rotting and being torn apart …"
Painful wails echoed in this space.
The Golden Void Lightning's voice sounded again, "Then I, the savior of the world, have another opportunity to save the suffering humans …"
"These six thousand humans are all poisoned and will die a painful death in a minute. However, you have an antidote. As long as you break it, you can save all the humans on one of the floating rocks …"
As he spoke, a crystalline blue bottle floated in the air.
At the same time, a stone slab with two holes appeared in front of An Lin, floating quietly.
One left and one right.
It was obvious that whichever hole the bottle was placed in would save the humans on that side.
An Lin had a mental breakdown. He pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword and slashed it toward the hovering stone slab in a frenzy.
"You're f * cking messing with me, I'll cut you down!!"
"Bang, bang, bang …"
A violent collision sound rang out, but the slate didn't move at all.
"Fifty seconds left …"
An indifferent voice came from the dusky space.
"F * cking Golden Void Lightning, come out and fight me! F * cking Golden Void Lightning, get the f * ck out here and I'll kill you! "An Lin pulled out his sword and roared as he pointed at the dusky space.
His words did not receive the slightest response.
"Forty, thirty-nine …"
The countdown continued.
An Lin slashed at the hovering stone slab, the antidote bottle, and the ground in a frenzy, but it was all to no avail.
The anguished cries of the six thousand mortals continued to reverberate in his ears.
In the end, time was almost up.
An Lin made a decision and saved the four thousand mortals.
He couldn't just stand by and watch everyone die, so he could only choose to save more people!
The antidote transformed into a mist that completely neutralized the poison in the four thousand mortals.
The other two thousand mortals were all poisoned to death …
The remaining four thousand mortals were on the brink of mental collapse.
Right at this moment, the hovering stone slab cracked open again …
The mortals were split up into two groups of one thousand and three thousand.
Silver needles suddenly began to fall from the sky.
A massive umbrella appeared in front of An Lin, which he could use to shield one of the hovering stones from the falling silver needles.
This was actually quite an easy choice, wasn't it?
Thus, he chose three thousand mortals.
He couldn't kill all four thousand mortals, and he certainly couldn't kill three thousand mortals while keeping one thousand mortals alive.
Logic told him that he could only sacrifice the small number and save the majority.
The three thousand mortals were saved by An Lin.
The survivors were pessimistic and felt like this was hell, but there were also optimists who thought that as long as they could survive this ordeal, they would definitely be able to escape from this space!
The hovering stone slab beneath their feet then cracked open again.
An Lin silently raised his hand and continued his journey of salvation.
"I'll save these two thousand mortals.
"I'll save these one thousand five hundred mortals.
"I'll save these one thousand mortals …
He continued to make his choice, and he continued to save.
Finally, on a hovering stone slab.
There was only an old woman holding a little girl in her arms.
The little girl sobbed in horror, and the old woman held the little girl tightly in her arms to comfort her.
"Waah … Grandma, I'm so scared. Are we going to die?
"Sigh … Don't cry. Close your eyes, and when you open them again, we'll be home."
In front of the hovering stone slab.
An Lin stood at the edge of the hovering stone slab, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the remaining two people.
A series of screams erupted.
The little girl and the old woman were forcibly separated by a burst of power.
The hovering stone slab was also torn in half.
"Grandma! Grandma … "the little girl wailed.
"Don't be scared, Qingqing! Grandma is here, don't be scared!" the old woman consoled her in an urgent voice.
An Lin felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife upon seeing this.
"This is the final choice. You can save one person, and that person will be able to return to their original world …" the Golden Void Lightning suddenly said.
An Lin's body trembled upon hearing this, and he looked at the little girl and the old woman.
It was a multiple-choice question again, and he had to choose who to save …
"One minute," the Golden Void Lightning replied.
An Lin pointed a trembling finger at the little girl. "I'll save her."
The old woman was nearing the end of her lifespan, but the child was still too young, so he chose to give the hope of survival to the child.
Thus, the rock beneath the old woman's feet shattered amid the screams and cries of the little girl, and her body plummeted to the ground, having been punctured by a saber. She had died.
"Waah … Grandma, how are we going to live if you die …" The little girl wiped away her tears with an ashen expression, and her eyes became extremely hollow, as if all of the color had been drained from them.
She made her way to the edge of the hovering stone slab and looked down at the old woman on the ground with a tragic smile on her face. "Grandma … It's alright, I'm coming for you …"
An Lin seemed to have realized something, and his pupils contracted as he yelled at the top of his lungs, "No!!!"
The little girl didn't hear him.
A petite body leaped into the air before plunging into the boundless sea of sabers.
Blood splattered through the air as the merciless sabers punctured her frail body …
An Lin's body trembled as he stared at the scenes unfolding before his eyes with bloodshot eyes.
The Golden Void Lightning's indifferent yet joyful voice sounded again.
"Congratulations, you've taken it upon yourself to save the common people. You've carried out the principle of sacrificing your family to protect the greater good, and you've finally killed all of the humans!"
