The earth rumbled, and the heavens shook.
Three suns rose high into the sky, dispelling all darkness as showers of light fell upon the ground.
The scars of battle were steadily erased.
The thick smoke and dust dispersed from the sky, leaving it blue once more as white clouds unfurled.
At that moment, time seemed to flow backward, everything rapidly restoring itself.
The volcanoes of Western Province stopped erupting, and towering waves no longer churned across the endless North Sea.
Sunlight bathed the Alien Continent once more. The oppressive darkness receded, giving way to clear daylight.
The Lizardfolk chief and his people paused their worship, looked up at the sky, then turned toward Lin Dong's mural on the rock wall and hurriedly kowtowed again and again.
"Thank you for your mercy, divine one... Thank you for your mercy!"
Far away, human civilization had endured a brief darkness. Bright light now shone on the streets, easing the fear in people's hearts as they all let out long breaths.
The sun... had returned!
But they still couldn't understand.
What exactly had happened?
Little did they know, they had just walked along the brink of death.
At Ancestral Mountain in Corpse Soil, Lan Xiao'e watched Lin Dong's actions and finally relaxed.
She now understood that Lin Dong wouldn't attack her.
Doing so would serve him no purpose!
The zombies' fierce eyes gleamed, every one of them thrilled.
"The boss looks so cool!"
"Hey, how far do you think... he's evolved now?"
"Beyond emperor-class, obviously. An all-powerful god."
"I don't think even 'god' quite fits anymore. We should call him-the Creator!"
"..."
Lin Dong now controlled all energy between heaven and earth. The traces of the great battle were soon erased, leaving a brilliantly clear sky stretching for miles.
A gentle breeze swept past.
