"Huff... huff..."
Lin Nai breathed softly, her eyes tightly closed, and the burning pain in her eyes slowly subsided after a while.
He opened his eyes again, and the scene before him gradually became clearer from a blurry one.
Li Mengyu remained seated there calmly, her eyes clear, gazing at him with an indescribable air of purity.
“Your void attribute divine power has indeed become stronger, and it is not at all on the same level as us ordinary apostles.”
Linna wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and asked, "How did you do that?"
Li Mengyu: "I have no comment on that."
Linnaeus: "..."
Li Mengyu continued, "The fact that you can use the Gray Eyes to gaze into my soul means you have doubts about my identity, doesn't it?"
"Nonsense, of course I'd be suspicious. Any normal person would be suspicious, right?" Lin Nai didn't hide anything at all, staring directly at her and saying, "You're a human, yet you suddenly possess divine power comparable to a god, and you're even a Void God who's never been recorded in the ancient texts left by the civilization of gods. How could that not make people suspicious?"
“So I can understand how you feel.” Li Mengyu smiled slightly: “But I do have reasons that I can’t say.”
"And aren't you satisfied with the current situation?"
"The human realm has returned to normal order, all humans have returned to normal, the demons have been driven away, and all countries and cities can begin reconstruction, not just the capital. With the help of my divine power, life will grow rapidly, and soon the human realm will return to the prosperity it was three years ago..."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Lin Nai was speechless.
"As long as what I do is beneficial to humanity," Li Mengyu smiled. "Then what kind of secrets I hold shouldn't matter so much, right?"
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then... what about those dimensional rifts?"
"After I returned to the human plane from the void world, I discovered unstable dimensional rifts in the wilderness, in the city of mountains and seas, in the capital, in various places in the human plane... and in the heart of the demon tree that was hidden deep underground at that time."
"Normally, this kind of situation only occurs when a plane is about to collapse, right?"
As Lin Nai spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Mengyu's expression, observing the changes in her demeanor.
Li Mengyu seemed to have anticipated Lin Nai's question and showed no expression. She said calmly, "The appearance of those dimensional rifts is due to the reappearance of the Demon Tree. The growth and spread of the Demon Tree's roots affected the other dimensions, causing the space to break and leading to chaos in the spatial order."
"All of this was Su Yibai's doing. He wanted to revive the Demon Tree, purely to use the human plane as a sacrifice."
"That's why I was so eager to destroy the Demon Tree, because if it's too late, the human plane will really collapse completely."
Linna fell silent after hearing this.
Li Mengyu's answer seemed flawless.
However, Linnaeus remembered it very clearly.
The contents of Carlos's prophetic notes do not match this passage at all...
"I hope you can stop suspecting me."
Li Mengyu calmly looked at Lin Nai and said, "Although the demons have been driven away, the human plane is facing an even greater disaster. You are the apostle of Carlos, the White Death God of Sequence Number Zero, one of the most special gods. I need your help. We must work together."
Linna raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "An even greater disaster?"
“Due to the appearance of the Demon Tree, the order of the human plane has been disrupted, and the distortion of space has not been completely eliminated. Just as you said before, so many unstable interdimensional rifts have appeared, and it is not something that can be restored all at once,” Li Mengyu said. “Moreover, due to the distortion of space, many space gates in our human plane that were originally in normal energy state are now closed, including the capital city space gate and the Shanhai City space gate.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Nai immediately frowned: "The capital city's spatial gate has closed?"
In that case, wouldn't the human realm be completely isolated from the world?
Is it impossible to travel to other dimensions anymore?
“Yes,” Li Mengyu said, “This is very likely the result of the dimensional space being stimulated and suddenly contracting. We must not ignore this matter. If it is not handled properly, then what awaits us next is spatial tremors.”
"..." Lin Nai paused for a moment, looked at her, and asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
"Carlos's book of prophecy—the Book of Destruction." Li Mengyu asked, "How much of it can you understand now?"
Lin Nai hesitated for a moment, then lied and said, "One or two pages, maybe."
“Is that so…” Li Mengyu showed a slight look of disappointment, paused, and continued, “I hope you can decipher all the contents of the Record of Annihilation as soon as possible, in order to save our plane.”
“…Alright.” Linna paused. “I will do my best.”
......
After leaving Li Mengyu's residence, Lin Nai wandered aimlessly through the Dark Moon Base.
New recruits have already begun training at the Darkmoon Base.
He had previously caused a major disturbance at the Darkmoon Base, destroying many important facilities within the base, which have now been largely rebuilt.
Everything recovered faster than he had imagined...
Linnaeus leaned over the high railing, looking down at the scene on the playground below.
"What is the truth...?"
Linnaeus felt somewhat lost.
"Beep beep beep"
At that moment, the system suddenly emitted a message notification tone.
Someone called.
Lin Nai glanced at the pop-up message box from the system and saw that it was a call from Sherry.
Linna answered the phone: "Hello? Sherry."
"Linnai, where are you now?" Sherry's image appeared on the video screen.
"I'm at the Dark Moon Base, and I just met with the new leader of the Yan Kingdom."
"Is it Li Mengyu?"
"right."
"......"
"What's wrong?"
Linna noticed that Sherry's expression was a little strange.
“Linnai, I have something I want to talk to you about…” Shirley’s expression turned serious, and she lowered her voice: “It’s hard to explain over the phone, let’s meet somewhere safe.”
"Oh?" Lin Nai's heart stirred slightly.
