Chapter 221 Let's Try Our Best: The Shocking Secret of the Meteorite, Earth on the Brink of Collapse

"What's this?!"

Let alone the scions of the Guozhu family and the people of the Professional War Division.

Even those epic figures all had their pupils suddenly shrink, revealing expressions of horror and astonishment.

They looked up at the figure that resembled a mountain...

Although they could certainly tell that the figure was not real, but an illusion...

But that's amazing enough!

What's this?

Skill?

Or is it some kind of prop?

They looked up and realized that the sky behind them clearly did not belong to this space and time...

The sky there is azure, and cranes dance in the air...

It's clearly not in Okinoyo City!

And in fact, it wasn't just them...

Even many of the park's members showed expressions of shock...

This kind of method, which is almost like "following the laws of heaven and earth", is something they have never seen before.

"I apologize, for some reasons I am not in Fallen Leaf City at the moment, so I can only meet you all in this way. Please forgive any inconvenience."

The enormous phantom's voice was gentle, seemingly carrying a hint of apology, echoing through the heavens and earth.

This left the Guozhu family speechless for a moment.

It took Jiang Linxue a long time to exhale softly and come back to her senses.

She wasn't sure if the other party was using a skill or an item, but all sorts of items were constantly appearing in this world. Although it was the first time she had seen such a method, she quickly accepted it.

She looked up at the illusory figure in the air and said, "Boss... impressive skills."

"My skills are meager, please excuse my poor performance."

His voice remained gentle, and he even nodded to Jiang Linxue.

He still had some impression of Jiang Linxue... On the day Zhou Ze was given his job, he had seen Jiang Linxue outside and knew roughly who she was.

It is the epic of the Jiang family, the pillar of the state.

Moreover, he is very famous and popular in Shengjing circles.

Jiang Linxue remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and went straight to the point: "I suppose your subordinates have already told you about what just happened... So, what are your thoughts?"

After a moment of silence, Qin Fang asked gently, "Is it about information regarding the job change altar?"

"Yes, would the amusement park be willing to share it with us?" Jiang Linxue asked.

The eyes of the Guozhu family scions lit up, some nervous, some expectant as they looked at Qin Fang.

After a pause, Qin Fang smiled and asked, "If I refuse, what does the Guozhu family intend to do?"

Jiang Linxue fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long pause, she calmly said, "To be honest, the Paradise's strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. If you are truly unwilling to share... I really have no way to help you. But I still hope to try."

"What are we fighting for?"

Qin Fang raised an eyebrow, not expecting Jiang Linxue to respond in this way.

"Does Your Excellency know of the Land of Fallen Boundaries?"

Jiang Linxue looked up and asked Qin Fang.

Qin Fang frowned. He had vaguely heard the name, but to be honest... he didn't know the specifics.

So he frankly said, "I've heard of the name, but I don't know the details."

“It’s normal not to know, because it’s a secret that’s only known within a certain circle… As an epic organization, Paradise is also qualified to know this secret.”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Linxue said, "You've also cleared the Abyss dungeon, so you must have heard the strange babbling that appears after a monster dies, right?"

Qin Fang narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and nodded: "I've heard of it."

"Then you must have also wondered... whether those instances were once worlds like Earth, but for some reason, they were eventually reduced to instances...?"

Qin Fang raised an eyebrow, then nodded: "Indeed, it happened."

"Then I can say with certainty... that your guess is correct."

Jiang Linxue calmly said, "The monsters in these instances were indeed once beings like you and me. However, for some reason, they have become what they are now. Their world has become instances, and their races have become monsters that have lost their minds."

"And the Land of Fallen Boundaries is a vast world that overlaps with these countless ruined worlds."

“There are the ancient races, who are trying every means to return and liberate their enslaved people; there are emerging races, trying to ascend to the world, become stronger, and even… achieve immortality.”

"And my Earthling race is also fighting in that world."

"However, we are only fighting in one corner of the world... and our opponents are the centaurs, three-eyed people, insectoids and many other races that have invaded Earth, which you have seen before."

Jiang Linxue calmly recounted a huge, earth-shattering secret, leaving those around her somewhat bewildered.

"A ceasefire for more than ten years...that's how it is for the people of Xia Kingdom on Earth. But in reality...the war has never stopped...it's just that the battlefield has moved from Earth to the Land of Fallen Boundaries."

"The reason why those alien races were able to successfully invade Earth is because at the beginning of the Great Change, our Earthlings were unaware of the Boundary Fall Land, which led to the successive destruction of the Boundary Fall Land belonging to our humans. This allowed those alien races to take advantage of the situation and successfully invade Earth... and seize the resources such as dungeons that should have been exclusively enjoyed by our humans."

"The war in the Fallen Realm continues and is becoming more frequent. Although our human race has barely withstood the offensive and temporarily maintained the situation... this is only temporary."

"The initial setback had very serious consequences... The invading races, due to their enormous advantage in the early stages, had already given birth to gods. Because their world was not invaded, their races could exclusively enjoy the world's upgrade resources, resulting in their collective combat strength being superior to that of Earth... One step behind leads to another."

Jiang Linxue's voice echoed.

The faces of the many epic figures behind her also grew somewhat somber.

Clearly, what she said was something these epics also knew.

Jiang Linxue's face showed a hint of bitterness as she spoke, and she suddenly asked Qin Fang, "Does Your Excellency know what will happen to us once the Boundary Land belonging to our human race is destroyed?"

Qin Fang listened attentively, paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then shook his head.

"The ordinary people will all die, while the professionals... will be controlled by the panel. The background scenery of Earth will become instances appearing in other worlds. All professionals, according to their rank, will become instance monsters of different levels... For most of the day, they will lose their minds, going on a killing spree, only remaining sane for very short periods. Then they will wait... wait for the beings of another world to break through the 'Abyss-level instance' formed by all the Earth professionals, thus killing them completely..."

"Earth will also become a piece of the puzzle in the Land of Fallen Boundaries...and then a battlefield for the surviving alien races to fight each other..."

"Until the consciousness of the last human on Earth dissipates... this world, Earth, will also be annihilated..."

Jiang Linxue's somber voice echoed.

The entire scene fell silent for a moment.

It wasn't just Qin Fang who was surprised.

Paradise, the secret scions of the Guozhu family, and the professional warriors...

Everyone was stunned.

Unbelievable... such a thing exists?

Before they could process the news, Jiang Linxue's somber voice rang out again: "No one can escape it, not even a fifth-tier legendary figure... As long as you are an Earthling and your job panel was acquired on Earth, you cannot escape it."

"And what I need to tell you is... the situation is getting increasingly difficult. Although Guozhu and the legendary professions from other countries are stationed in the Boundary Fall Land 365 days a year, trying to maintain the situation... things are developing in the most pessimistic direction."

"The existence behind the panel will not give a world the chance to drag on forever."

"I heard you're a legendary class, and Xu Jin even went to see you before... right?"

Qin Fang paused for a moment, then nodded.

"You think Xu Jin's purpose in contacting you is to suppress you, and you think the Guozhu family is jealous of talent because they have controlled power for too long and cannot tolerate the emergence of another legendary profession... Once it appears, they will suppress it. Right?"

Qin Fang didn't speak. That was what he had thought before, but after seeing Zhou Ze's condition, he became somewhat uncertain.

Jiang Linxue shook her head with a wry smile: "In fact, that's not the case... If possible, we would hope that all humans in the world would be legendary professions! That way, there might still be a glimmer of hope. The truth is... Xu Jin is not suppressing you because of his power. But he did try to find you, and even control you to some extent. But it's not because your appearance would divide Guozhu's power... but because there are other more important reasons."

“As I said before, if you are slow at one step, you will be slow at every step. Other invading races have already produced gods because of their early gains. But my Earth has no gods.”

"The good news is that we, along with the centaurs, the three-eyed race, and others, belong to a newly emerging world. We have a mechanism similar to a 'newbie protection period,' which prevents the gods of other races from descending upon our world or our race's Fallen Realm."

"But unfortunately... the 'newbie protection period' will eventually end. And that day... is not far off."

“Aside from the ‘newbie protection period,’ once a god appears in our race, this protection will instantly become invalid.”

"The prerequisite for a race to have a god is... to have more than 20 Tier 3 legends, or... more than 30 legends without a rank requirement."

"Currently, the total number of human legends, including Zhou Ze from some time ago, including you... has reached 27."

"With the nine national pillars and the legendary professions of other countries, there are currently thirteen at the fifth rank, two at the fourth rank, two at the third rank, and eleven below the third rank."

"In other words, there are now 16 legends of the third rank or above. If there are four more third-rank legends, or three new legends... the human race on Earth will be forced to give birth to a god."

"At the same time... the protection during the beginner period will also immediately become invalid."

"What do you think will happen then?"

Jiang Linxue looked up at Qin Fang.

Qin Fang gasped, his expression turning serious for the first time.

"I am certain that the instant that moment arrives, alien races from all over the world will rush to human cities and begin their massacre."

"In the Land of Fallen Boundaries, the gods from those races that invaded Earth will also descend immediately, find the Earth gods, annihilate them, and seize their divine status."

Jiang Linxue looked up at Qin Fang: "This world may seem peaceful now, but it is actually on the verge of collapse. Especially with the appearance of the job change altar... To be honest, if the job change altar appears and two or three more legends are created while we are talking, then the world will be destroyed in the next moment. I don't think it would be strange at all."

"Now, do you understand what I mean?"

She looked at Qin Fang and asked.

Qin Fang was speechless for a moment.

To be honest... he was indeed a little surprised by what the other party said.

Has humanity really become this dangerous?

To put it bluntly, we've truly reached the brink of extinction!

Gods...

He immediately thought of his experience of finding employees for the Gods through a headhunting firm.

At that time, the headhunting company issued a notification... There are no god-level beings in this world yet, so it is impossible to find this potential employee.

Then, all the levels after the gods disappeared.

At his highest level, he can only find employees with legendary potential.

...The headhunting firm's suggestion...and even the fact that Zhou Ze is still only at level 1, indirectly confirms the credibility of Jiang Linxue's words.

Qin Fang's eyes flickered incessantly.

...He never expected that simply coming over to meet Jiang Linxue would lead to such shocking news.

Then he understood why these epics showed such a strong interest in the class change altar.

...If that's really the case.

Even if Guozhu himself were to come, it would be understandable.

Wait a moment……

Qin Fang was suddenly startled.

Guozhu personally attended?

No way, could there really be a national pillar who has already descended here?

Thinking of this, Qin lowered his gaze and looked around... but couldn't see anything.

But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

...The Altar of Job Change has already become a legend.

Now, information about the Altar of Job Change has been obtained by Paradise.

So many epics in such a short time...

If what Jiang Linxue said is true.

If he were one of the pillars of the nation, he would most likely come to see what was going on!

Qin Fang's expression behind the mask was unpredictable.

He looked around carefully again and pondered for a moment.

...However, Jiang Linxue's words...

Can it be trusted?

He saw it clearly just now... The members of the Guozhu family behind her all showed obvious signs of being tempted after seeing the powerful professions of their members.

She herself was also moved.

Now, judging from her words, it's clear she hopes the Paradise will hand over the information about the job change altar... thereby preventing the possibility of more legends appearing in the short term.

Then there's a possibility that she might be deceiving him.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: "I didn't expect... there were these reasons."

"However... to be honest, what you said is a bit too shocking, and I can't believe it without reservation. I will find a way to verify it myself."

"You can rest assured that... in the short term, I can guarantee that there will be no legendary professions."

Jiang Linxue was taken aback: "How can you guarantee that?"

Qin Fang smiled: "That... is a secret. So, is there anything else you want to say?"
