The demon beast disaster that descended on the Forgotten Continent lasted for less than a day, and with the death of the Mad Scientist, all of the demon beasts disappeared. After a short period of jubilation, the Forgotten Continent's residents began to undergo a period of darkness and reconstruction after the disaster.
In this massive disaster, nearly 2 million Forgotten Continent's residents died, and countless cities and towns were destroyed or flattened. If it wasn't for the existence of players, this number would undoubtedly be many times higher. The number of players who died far exceeded the number of residents. After this disaster, the status and image of players in the Forgotten Continent's residents' hearts changed drastically, especially the god-like otherworlder … Ling Tian.
"I heard from the Moon Deities Ambassador that these demon beasts came from another galaxy, and that they were invading our Mystic Moon world. Their leader is even more powerful than the Moon Deities!"
"That's right, that's right! I saw with my own eyes that the leader called Demon Emperor defeated the Moon Deities, but as soon as Ling Tian appeared, he destroyed those Demon Emperors in 2 or 3 moves! "
"I heard that there were over 100 of those terrifying Demon Emperors, and they were all destroyed by Ling Tian. Otherwise, our Forgotten Continent would have long since perished!"
"What do you mean by over 100? There were clearly thousands of them! They were all killed by Ling Tian one by one. I saw with my own eyes that he held a spear in his right hand and a sword in his left. Whenever he swung his spear or sword, the entire ground would tremble, and the sound would be like thunder from the heavens. The Demon Emperors, who couldn't even defeat the Moon Deities, were directly turned into ashes, and not even a single strand of hair was left. "
"This Ling Tian definitely isn't a human. He's definitely a god sent by the heavens to save our Forgotten Continent! The Moon Deities are already great gods, and he's a higher god that surpasses the Moon Deities! "
"Some time ago, the Moon Deities put Ling Tian on the wanted list. Do you know why? In fact, the three Moon Deities all had their eyes on Ling Tian and wanted Ling Tian to become the Celestial King of the Moon Deities! Think about it, with Ling Tian's strength, spirit, and appearance, even the Moon Deities would fall in love with him. However, Ling Tian did not seem to be obedient and was still hiding from the three Moon Deities. That was why the entire Moon Deities had put him on the wanted list. Shh, I overheard it from the conversation between the Moon Deities Emissaries. Don't tell anyone else. "
"Oh! So that was how it was! I was wondering why Ling Tian was put on the wanted list by the Moon Deities. Now that's reasonable! "
"I heard that the Forgotten Emperor has ordered for the best craftsmen to create a statue of Ling Tian and place it at the centre of the Forgotten City … even higher than the Moon Deities!"
"Of course! Of course! Ling Tian is our Forgotten Continent's hero! Eh? Ah! Ahhhh … look, look, look over there! That's Ling … Ling Tian!! "
After the demon beast disaster, the Ling Tian City was in ruins, and the southern part of the city had been completely destroyed by the battle between White Snow and the three Demon Emperors. If the Forgotten City wanted to return to its former glory, it would take a long time.
Ling Chen floated in the air above the Forgotten City, slowly flying as he looked at the city's current situation. However, what he never expected was that when his figure was recognized, a large amount of earth-shattering screams came from below. Wherever he flew to, there would be earth-shattering shouts coming from below. Everyone would put down what they were doing and look up at him. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all looked at him with scorching gazes, as if there were flames burning in their eyes. There were also countless people madly chasing after him below. Whenever he looked back, he could see an endless sea of people … It was as if the entire city had caught up to him.
How could he have known that after the demon beast disaster, his position in the hearts of the Forgotten Continent's residents had surpassed that of the Moon Deities, reaching a height that no one had ever reached before. It could be said that Ling Tian was a god-like existence in their hearts, and he was the first person in the Forgotten Continent's history to surpass the Moon Deities.
The reaction to his appearance in the Forgotten City far exceeded what he had expected, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the Forgotten Emperor and a large group of people hurriedly running towards him. Before he came close, he excitedly yelled, "Hero Ling Tian! H-Welcome to the Forgotten City! Please stay as a guest and allow the Forgotten City to show our gratitude for saving your life! "
Thinking about how he had personally led people to attack Ling Tian City, the Forgotten Emperor had wanted to slap himself more than 100 times. Before, he had been 'forced' to sign all sorts of treaties with Ling Tian City, making him feel incredibly sullen and angry. Now, he deeply felt that Ling Tian was simply too kind and magnanimous. With the strength that Ling Tian had displayed during the demon beast disaster, destroying the entire Forgotten City would be as easy as crushing an ant. Let alone the Moon Deities, even if the entire Moon Deities Clan moved out, they would not be able to protect Ling Tian City.
Even though that matter had happened a long time ago, he was still filled with fear and trepidation when he saw Ling Chen. Thinking about what he had done to Ling Tian City back then, his body would be covered with cold sweat.
Seeing how terrified the Forgotten Emperor looked, Ling Chen guessed that if he spoke even a little louder, the Forgotten Emperor would be scared to the point of kneeling. He looked at the people around him, who were all looking at him as if he was a god, and said helplessly, "No need, I just came to take a look at the Forgotten City's situation, and I'll be leaving soon. Quickly settle down the people in the destroyed residences, as well as the city's repairs."
"Yes, yes!" The Forgotten Emperor hurriedly nodded. "I'll definitely remember your words …"
"Alright then, goodbye." Ling Chen waved his hand and disappeared into the air. The 'passionate' Forgotten Emperor simply couldn't take it anymore.
After returning to the air above Ling Tian City, Ling Chen let out a small sigh of relief. At this moment, Qi Yue's lovely laughter sounded out in his mind, "Little master, how does it feel to become a hero and messiah and be worshipped by tens of thousands of people?"
Ling Chen rolled his eyes and smirked as he replied, "I don't want to be a hero or a messiah.
"However, the reality is that little master has already become a hero and messiah. If it wasn't for little master, no one in the Forgotten Continent would have been able to deal with the Demon Emperor. Perhaps the Forgotten Continent would have been completely wiped out.
"Moreover, little master didn't just save the Forgotten Continent. If little master hadn't killed that Mad Scientist, not only would the Mystic Moon have been destroyed, but even the earth that little master lives on would have been destroyed. As such, the word 'messiah' is perfect for little master, "Qi Yue said as she smiled.
"Forget it." Ling Chen looked incredibly helpless. "I didn't want the Forgotten Continent to be destroyed by the demon beasts because the Sun God Orb that I needed to obtain was on this continent. I killed the Mad Scientist not because I wanted to save the earth, but because he was someone I had to kill. I've never thought about saving the world, nor do I have such a great will or desire. Moreover, the word 'messiah' is too heavy for me to bear. "
"Oh?" After a short pause, her tone suddenly changed. It became incomparably soft and mysterious, so soft that it seemed as if she was unconsciously talking to herself. "Perhaps, one day, you really will become the savior of the world …"
Of course, Ling Chen would only take this as a joke. Just as he was about to return to the Administrative Center, a red light flashed beside him, and the red-haired and red-clothed Fey stood there, smiling at him.
"When did you come back?" Her sudden appearance caused Ling Chen to feel quite surprised. This was because Fey had been in America dealing with the Cosmos Corporation and had not said when she would come back.
"Just now. Ah! You seemed to be spacing out; it's only been 3 days, and you've already missed me so much, "Fey said as she smiled.
"Cheh, you're thinking too much. Back then, we were apart for so many years, but I never thought … Ahhhh! Y-Y-You pinched me … you're Eve, how could you use such a petty little woman's methods?! "
"Hmph, that's what you get for saying." Fey turned her face away and coldly harrumphed before calmly saying, "This trip to the Cosmos Corporation went quite smoothly. The Mad Scientist indeed set up many defensive mechanisms, but the downfall was that those defensive mechanisms were all controlled by the Mad Scientist's brainwaves. After the Mad Scientist's mind was destroyed, those defensive mechanisms were all useless. After I entered, I saw that everyone was a puppet, and they were all focused on their own matters. Even if I stood in front of them, it was as if they didn't see me. "
"What about Smith?" Ling Chen rubbed the part of his body that had been twisted 180 degrees by Fey as he looked at Fey with a pained expression.
"Smith was indeed locked up in the Cosmos Corporation; I found him on the top floor. In addition, I also found the madman. He was lying in a special black life support device. When I found him, he was still alive, but he was completely unconscious. As a precaution, I cut off his throat and heart. Then, I cut off all his arteries and main blood vessels, causing him to lose all his blood. Finally, I smashed the top of his skull and shattered his brain. That way, even if there were gods in this world, they wouldn't be able to save him. "
Fey crossed her arms in front of her chest and spoke very casually. However, most people standing nearby would have their faces turn ashen upon hearing this.
"Just as you said, Smith wasn't turned into a puppet; the Mad Scientist used his beloved granddaughter to threaten him. I saved him and his granddaughter, and I said everything I needed to say. What surprised me was that he didn't even think about such a big matter before directly agreeing. "
"That's not too surprising." Ling Chen said, "After going through such a nightmare, facing someone like you who saved him, he would most likely agree to any request. Moreover, after going through such a hellish disaster, his life goals will definitely change. His greatest wish is to live out his remaining years in peace and see his granddaughter grow up safely. That will be his greatest wish for the past year. He won't care about the development of the virtual world at all. He definitely won't know how to deal with all of this, and tossing it to the Li family's organization might be something he'd like. "
Fey thought about it and slightly nodded before continuing, "I've already told Smith what I need him to do, and he promised to fully cooperate and contact the Li family. Also, I've knocked out a few of the Cosmos Corporation's puppets, but unfortunately, I can't remove the mental seal on them. But with the death of the madman, without his brainwaves, these puppet employees are now like a group of mummies without any data input. I have to leave my mark in their minds so that they will be completely obedient to me in the future, and then I will make them obey the Li Corporation … This doesn't seem to be a bad thing. At least, this will be a group of employees who will never be disloyal. "
"You know how to control minds?" Ling Chen's eyes widened in shock.
Fey rolled her eyes and pouted. "Didn't I just say that because of the Mad Scientist's death, their minds are all blank. Controlling them is as easy as writing on a piece of white paper. I just knocked them out one by one and told them that I was their master in the future … that's all. "
Ling Chen: "…"
