The Hatred of Billions

The city collapsed and crumbled, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sky, swirling and chasing after Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't want to get involved, so he used his mental strength to propel himself and fly north at top speed.

Once they were far from the city center and in the suburbs, finally shaking off the swirling dust, Lu Li saw the puppet waiting for him there.

Apart from the two leaders, they were all carrying a metal money box used by banks.

It was paved with gold bricks, totaling 14 tons, more than enough to be used as a bride price.

This trip has been very fruitful, and it's time to head back.

However, Lu Li was still worried about the previous virus. These little coronaviruses were too contagious and virulent; they absolutely could not be allowed to spread.

So he deliberately raised his body temperature.

The heart pounded violently, the rushing blood making a gurgling sound, and the Internal Breath surged and flowed continuously through the meridians.

With the help of his immune system, Lu Li's body temperature soared to 120 degrees Celsius, and he was even steaming from his head!

After roasting for five minutes until his clothes became crispy, Lu Li stopped and landed to rejoin the puppet.

But when the wind blew, his clothes tore into pieces, leaving him completely naked.

He looked at Number 0; this guy's pants were still half-up.

Give me your pants.

"..."

Number 0 seemed to hesitate for a moment before taking it off and handing it to its owner.

Lu Li quickly put on the clothes to cover the large blue dragon.

But when he looked up, he was surprised to see "Number 0" staring blankly at a "TJMax" department store.

The shopping mall was in a semi-collapsed state, and through the huge cracks in the wall, one could just see the various clothes, shoes and bags being sold inside.

They were barely clothed and would be in a sorry state if they went back like this.

Moreover, the puppets retain some of the instincts of living people and do not like to be naked.

So Lu Li had an idea and ordered, "Go to the mall and get some clothes."

The mall was deserted; the puppets barged in and started browsing like they were in a supermarket.

They each have their own preferences; some still wear suits and ties, while others have changed into jackets or something similar.

Number 0 and A'da wore trench coats and hunting outfits respectively, along with ski masks and goggles, looking quite cool.

Lu Li didn't interfere, letting the puppet dress up as it pleased.

And this mall also has a whole shelf of stockings, black and white, fishnet, all kinds.

He casually grabbed several large stacks, intending to take them back to the other world for his woman to wear and play with.

And so, the group quickly finished packing and left the mall.

The outside world was full of dust and somewhat foggy.

At this moment, the team is located more than 20 kilometers away from the epicenter.

Since it was a man-made earthquake, its power was greatly reduced, and the earth did not develop terrifying fissures.

However, the buildings still inevitably collapsed and crumbled, turning into ruins and rubble.

Looking at the bleak scene, Lu Li remained calm, only urging his mind to clear away the overwhelming dust so as not to soil everyone's new clothes.

But just then, he suddenly noticed... something resembling "viscous dewdrops" was constantly appearing in the void.

This thing appeared out of thin air, vaguely purplish-black in color, and could only be seen with a close look using the Heavenly Eye. If left unattended, it would quickly disappear.

Lu Li probed with his mind, and immediately his mind was filled with endless curses:

[Monster, go to hell!]

[You son of a bitch, die!]

It contained countless acts of malice and curses, making Lu Li feel dizzy.

He shook his head to clear away the noise, and instantly realized what it was—the power of will!

Willpower is the condensation of people's will and a kind of spiritual power.

Lu Li vividly remembered the domineering and oppressive aura contained in Ling Gui's previous use of "Dynastic Willpower".

But what is gathering at this moment is clearly the will and power of the people of the Star Alliance Country, and even the entire Western world, filled with hatred and curses towards Lu Li; it is a negative "malicious thought"!

The entire West, plus the population that identifies with its value system, numbers at least 1 billion!

As the saying goes, public opinion can melt metal.

The power of a mortal's mind is negligible, but when it reaches billions, it will inevitably converge into a terrifying tide of willpower!

Lu Li opened his "Heavenly Eye" and saw that purplish-black "viscous dewdrops" were constantly emerging in the void, all of which were "evil thoughts".

It looks frightening, but the power of will does not exist in the material world; it is only manifested through the vision of the "Heavenly Eye."

As long as you don't actively absorb it, it's just a mass of air.

Lu Li stopped probing and, ignoring it, reached out to touch it again, but sure enough, he couldn't reach it anymore.

The two sides are not even on the same level; it's like rain through a car window—no reaction can occur.

However, if this spiritual power is positive, it can greatly promote Spirit Refinement cultivation.

"Fan Chengxun was so eager for his vows to manifest [Manifestation] that he was tricked by the Eunuch Hua."

Recalling this, Lu Li pondered:

"I've gone through so much trouble on Blue Star, it seems I can forget about having any positive karma. Fortunately, I have a divine object like the Spirit Machine, so I'm not too bad off."

Things in this world can never go exactly as we wish; just focus on the essentials.

This kind of magical object called "spiritual power" is something that I and my wives can use; it's much more practical than the power of will.

Lu Li led his team northward, searching for a hidden place to the Cross-Realm, completely forgetting about the power of will.

You can't even touch this thing; even Heavenly Eye would have to look very closely to spot it. It's not as good as air, at least you can touch it.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at Wheaton Park. It was very spacious, perfect for the Cross-Realm.

Before leaving, Lu Li called Jessica, who answered immediately.

Honey, are you alright?

"I'm fine, I've just been a bit willful, which will definitely cause you a lot of trouble."

[No, no, no, you did a great job! You taught the arrogant and vicious Star Alliance Country a lesson, it was so satisfying!]

Jessica's voice was full of joy as Lu Li gave her instructions:

"Then you should hide well. If anything happens, contact me through the puppet."

Don't worry about me.

Jessica, not wanting to be a burden to her lover, pretended to be nonchalant and said:

[I'm strong enough to protect myself, and Ms. Maria was terrified of you and offered many favors... In short, I'm perfectly fine on my end, you just focus on your own affairs.]

"That's good..."

Lu Li a little relieved, and then said seriously:

"Next, I will try to gain even greater power, until I can conquer the Star Alliance Country and trample the entire world under my feet! Then we can be free and carefree."

[Yes, whatever you do, I'll support you. That's called... a wife following her husband's lead~]

Jessica used a Xia Country idiom, which made Lu Li smile knowingly.

However, she then added:

[Most of the planet wants you dead, so you absolutely mustn't get hurt.]

"I will, don't worry."

The two chatted briefly before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

However, Lu Li already deeply understood what Jessica meant when she said that most people on the planet wanted him dead.

As the situation continued to escalate, more and more people hated and cursed him, and the accumulated "malice" grew increasingly intense.

A vast, dark cloud had formed high above our heads.

"It seems that saying 1 billion people was an understatement..."

Lu Li vaguely felt that this would require the hatred of two billion people to reach such a scale.

But since we're not on the same level, it doesn't matter how much there is; just ignore it.

Moreover, seeing this scene made him very happy—the enemy's curses and hatred were the greatest praise for him!

"This just proves they're afraid! They're terrified!"

Lu Li in high spirits and in a good mood.

It was at this moment that his mind suddenly became restless!

It spontaneously surged out of its body and coalesced into a three-headed creature, roaring at the "Malicious Thought Dark Clouds" in the sky!
