The explosion of the super-powerful hydrogen bomb turned the night into day.

It also shone in the eyes of the man who stood alone in the wilderness.

Lin Yan roughly guessed what was going on and exhaled a breath of stale air. "Has the Golden Horn Beast already appeared?"

"It's time to go back."

He himself did not expect that this journey would last so long, so long that he was still on his way when the Golden Horn Beast appeared on Earth.

However, it must be said that the gains were also enormous.

His gaze was cold and clear as he said softly, "Azure Dragon."

Meanwhile, in the Tianjing Base City, the control console inside a blue and white painted fighter jet suddenly lit up, the intelligent system automatically located itself, and then immediately started up, taking off and soaring into the sky.

An airport staff member nearby exclaimed in surprise, "That's Minister Lin's Azure Dragon fighter jet!"

"Minister Lin is back!"

Laboratory.

Three specially made glass Nutrient Pod, each 4.2 meters long and 1.5 meters in diameter, were placed horizontally in the center of the Nutrient Pod. Inside each cylinder was a bluish-green liquid.

The surface of the glass cylinder is decorated with a tree-like pattern, and the top and bottom ends are made of a silver-white metal with a few simple buttons.

Wen Xiuyong walked in. His daughter wasn't engrossed in her work as usual; instead, she was intently watching a video on her tablet, her brows slightly furrowed.

He was very familiar with the current situation and said, "Notify Lin Yan to come back."

"Let's get married now. No matter what, even if we can't get over this, we should at least have an explanation."

Wen Zhi'an looked at his father and comforted him, "It's alright."

"Don't worry, with him here, it's far from the end of the world."

Wen Xiuyong was somewhat confused. He already understood the current situation. Even Hong and Thunder God probably couldn't do anything about it. Why did Zhi'an have such great confidence in Lin Yan?

Wen Zhi'an took out his phone, ready to make a call.

Others couldn't reach Lin Yan, but she could. Others couldn't get through to him, but Wind Queen would answer her calls. Sometimes when she missed him, she would call him to find out how he was doing.

Just as she was about to dial, the name of the person she had been longing for appeared on the screen.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and immediately answered the phone.

"I already know."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

The man's warm, mellow voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

He always seems to be like this, no matter what happens, he always feels he can handle it.

Wen Zhi'an had always considered himself a very strong person, but at this moment, all his vulnerability surged out, his eyes filled with tears, and his voice trembled slightly. "Lin Yan, I... I miss you so much."

The man said gently, "Then could my beautiful princess please endure the longing a little longer?"

She replied softly, "Yes, just for a little while."

"Alright, I'll try to take care of that Golden Horn Beast as quickly as possible."

Wen Zhi'an immediately took back what he had just said, "I'm not in a hurry, you must be careful."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You have to have faith in me."

"Currently, monsters in all Sea Region around the world are launching a beast tide, especially in North America and Europe. Because all the war bases have been destroyed, they have completely invaded the inland areas. However, the number of our Councilor Level powerhouses has increased dramatically in the past year, so we can hold on for the time being!"

"The Base City's Sky Wall System is still intact. As long as the Devouring Beast doesn't cause any more damage, the Base City's safety will not be a problem."

"This battle is a battle for the life and death of humankind!"

After exchanging views, the leaders of various countries decided to broadcast the battle live across the country, and the live television broadcasts of major countries were instantly switched!

Television broadcasts from various countries featured footage of powerful politicians battling King level monster, with commentators introducing the King level monster and politicians.

The whole world knew about the catastrophe they were facing. People turned on their televisions, watched the various terrifying monsters on screen, and worried about the soldiers and warriors on the front lines.

I prayed silently in my heart.

The thinking of each country is very simple: they have shed blood and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, so how can we let them die silently?

People also rightfully have the right to know.

"But what about the Devouring Beast? Do the two chairpersons have a solution?"

Hongning Base City, headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall.

Inside the cultivation room.

The man in black said, "We can't wait any longer. This Devouring Beast is too powerful and too strange. If we let it grow stronger, even the humans hiding in the Ancient Civilization Ruins will eventually be killed by it."

"Moreover, I'm certain that it was attacked by Laser Cannon, and its injuries must be severe. Let's strike while it's weakened and finish it off!"

"This is the last chance. If we miss it, it will be gone forever. I'll give it one last shot!"

Thunder God said, "I'll go too."

Hong shook his head. "I have a domain, that's why I have a chance to fight desperately. With your strength, going up there will only be suicide."

The strongest in this field have truly combined their Gene Energy, physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness, triggering a resonance in the Universe Space. When they fight desperately, they can burn their souls, bringing this combination of powers to an extremely terrifying level.

This is what gave Hong the ability to compete with the Devouring Beast.

Thunder God was just an ordinary eighth-tier Planetary level- level being, posing no threat whatsoever to the Devouring Beast.

Suddenly--

Hong's gaze sharpened.

Sparks of electricity appeared around Thunder God's body, and in just a moment, the entire training room was transformed into Lightning Domain, with electric snakes swirling around it.

The white-robed, bald man's eyes flashed with lightning, and a smile appeared on his lips, like the legendary Buddha.

"Brother Hong, we've been brothers for decades, going through thick and thin together. How could I back down this time?"

"We have nowhere left to retreat."

At this moment, Thunder God actually surpassed the supreme "unity of Unity of Heaven and Man" state of ancient yoga legend and stepped into the realm!

Hong looked at Thunder God and seemed to see the scene of the two fighting each other on the edge of life and death Great Nirvana period.

At that time, they had nowhere left to retreat.

Hong Wei nodded slightly. "Okay, let's go together."

Thunder God smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Hong felt relieved after making this decision.

What is there to fear in death?

"As long as we kill the Devouring Beast, Earth will be able to withstand some losses from other monsters, but not be crippled. Although those war bases are destroyed, the Base City is our core."

"If the Devouring Beast destroy the steel walls of the Base City, we will be doomed."

"For the past forty years, there was you and me. In the future, there will be Lin Yan and Luo Feng as well. The future of Earth is still bright. Even if I die, I will be at peace."

Hong's eyes were like a calm sea.

"Their talent far surpasses ours, and while we are martial artists, they are Mental Master," Thunder God laughed. "The current Luo Feng is probably not much different from the previous me."

However, now that he has entered the field, the situation is naturally different.

"As for Lin Yan, I am really pleasantly surprised. Luo Feng's strength can be explained by the inheritance he obtained from the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 ruins and the Dun Tian Suo, but Lin Yan seems to be different. Like us, he had no way out, so he relied on himself to find his own way."

Hong nodded slightly. "Yes, Lin Yan must hope to seek spiritual purification by retracing the path of his predecessors. It's hard to imagine that he, who achieved success at a young age, would be so humble and complacent as to think of using this method to cultivate his mind."

Thunder God's gaze was calm as he said, "The path of self-cultivation emphasizes one's own nature. Whether it is the ancient yoga meditation that I am proficient in, or the internal martial arts of guarding and nourishing the spirit passed down from ancient Huaxia, no matter how much or how clearly it is explained, others may not be able to learn it. As for his path, if he truly gained something, others who do not have this kind of spirituality will not gain anything no matter how many times they walk it."

"If we don't truly trace back to that spirit, if we don't truly feel that emotion, what kind of state of mind can we talk about?"

The so-called cultivation of mindset is not obtained from the Ancient Civilization Ruins, but rather it is a path they have figured out on their own.

Cultivation in the universe mostly involves requirements for "skills" and "realms," but the realm here is different from "state of mind."

But they truly benefited greatly from this insight.

They were able to know of the existence of "domains," and naturally they also knew that such things were extremely difficult to achieve even in the universe.

In their view, the fact that they were able to have their own domain at the Planetary level was related to their state of mind.

Thunder God can instantly enter Calm as a Still Pond, Sincere and Natural, and Unity of Heaven and Man.

Hong was also able to instantly enter a state of ethereal tranquility, becoming one with the natural environment, combining all his senses and domains with nature to unleash their maximum power.

Therefore, they greatly approved of Lin Yan's approach.

Hong Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "I only hope that after we die, Lin Yan can fulfill his promise and bring a peaceful and harmonious world to the people who trust us."

"On those ruins, we will rebuild our once splendid civilization."

They also longed for the peaceful world before the Great Nirvana period.

Thunder God smiled calmly and said, "Yes."

"Come, second brother." Hong looked at the white-robed, bald young man in front of him and said, "Now, I will tell you some of my insights into the 'domain' and how to use it."

"The Devouring Beast is severely injured and is very vigilant now, but it still needs to come out to eat continuously to absorb a lot of energy to restore its strength. We don't have much time left."

Thunder God solemnly replied, "Okay."

They knew very well that the Devouring Beast was currently severely injured, and if they wasted the opportunity, there would be no hope once the Devouring Beast fully recovered its strength.

Lin Yan stood in the Azure Dragon fighter jet, the display screen filled with red, representing the "beast tide," a glaring red.

The first thing he saw upon arriving was an endless tide of beasts.

In those blood and fires, in those sacrifices and struggles.

What did he say back then?

"War has always been like this."

"But it won't always be like this."

"I will change all of this with my own hands."

Time will always provide answers, and the years will never fail to reward ideals.

Now, he finally has the power to change everything, as well as the confidence and courage to do so.

Lin Yan gazed into the distance; on that road, his favorite sight was the sunrise.

It illuminates all darkness and cuts off all gloom.

And through these days and nights, the dust in his heart was cleared, he saw his true self clearly, and finally found his direction.

Hong's "Mind Embraces All and Mind Embraces All," Thunder God's "The harmony of Yin Yang Harmony of Unity of Heaven and Man, the Heart of a Child, and the perfect state of mind," both have their own understanding of the spiritual realm.

It may be based on the wise words of sages, or on the realization that heaven and earth exist in one mind.

Both are good.

But Lin Yan didn't like it.

He was neither a saint nor a Buddha, but simply a human being.

These young faces stained with blood, this nation that has endured countless hardships for thousands of years, this land once stained with the blood of heroes, this Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering era.

They all whispered in his ear, they all sang songs of blood and tears, guiding him on his path.

Since ancient times, the will of Heaven has been difficult to fathom.

Yes, human determination can overcome nature.
