The God Lord is furious? Lin Yuan: What's it to me!

Lin Zhan's meaningful and teasing question caused everyone's hearts, who were still immersed in the revelry of victory, to suddenly twitch!

That's right!

The Divine Court had been destroyed!

The gate of the divine kingdom had also been torn down!

But behind that gate, that supreme 'God Lord'—whose mere leak of a sliver of will had nearly caused the entire United Fleet to be annihilated—was still alive!

Furthermore, Lin Yuan had just slaughtered his seven most capable henchmen, along with tens of thousands of guard dogs, right in front of him!

Finally, he had even forcibly demolished the main gate of his house!

This was no longer just a slap in the face!

This was riding directly on his face and unleashing a frantic output!

If it were anyone else, they would probably be so angry they'd jump straight out of their coffin to fight Lin Yuan to the death!

At the thought of what a state of Rage that terrifying existence—whom even the Guardian Martial God Lin Zhan described as 'that thing'—must be in right now, everyone's hearts, which had just been set down, instantly rose back to their throats!

It's over!

Did this move... go a bit too far?

However, as the instigator of all this, Lin Yuan's reaction once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

After hearing Lin Zhan's words, not only was he not the least bit nervous, but he became... even more impatient.

"His mood?"

Lin Yuan curled his lip and glanced at the slowly healing spatial rift with a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

"None of my business."

"If he has the ability, let him crawl over through the network cable and hit me right now."

"If he doesn't have the ability, then tell him to stay bottled up on the other side of the gate for me!"

"Anyway, I've already torn down the gate for him. If he wants to install a new one, he can forget about it for at least three to five years!"

Boom!

These few understated yet extremely overbearing words were like a billion-ton nuclear bomb, exploding violently in everyone's minds!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Lin Yuan, their mouths wide enough to fit an entire ostrich egg, their brains completely entering a crashed state.

Three to five years?

Does... does he know what he's saying?!

He went to all this trouble, even sacrificing ninety-nine Heaven Rank peak-grade divine swords that would drive the whole world crazy, making such a huge scene... not to completely destroy the Divine Court and eliminate future troubles forever.

But merely to... buy three to five years of time?!

What... what kind of 'holy shit' train of thought is this?!

On the deck of the 'Kunpeng', Yan Wu Xiaolie felt his vision go dark, nearly failing to catch his breath and almost passing away on the spot.

He racked his brain but still couldn't understand Lin Yuan's way of thinking.

Those were ninety-nine Heaven Rank peak-grade divine swords!

Just to buy a few years of peace?

Isn't this price a bit too high?!

Inside the central command cabin, Su Li's bright eyes were also filled with unprecedented confusion and bewilderment.

For the first time, she felt she completely couldn't keep up with this man's train of thought.

However, just as everyone was in a state of bewilderment.

Above the vault of heaven, Lin Zhan suddenly burst out laughing!

"Hahaha! Good! Good lad!!"

His hearty laughter, filled with appreciation, was like rolling heavenly thunder, echoing throughout the vast sea!

He took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of Lin Yuan. His eyes, which contained the stars and the Universe, stared fixedly at his grandson, filled with unprecedented brilliance!

"I thought you were just a reckless man who only knew how to use brute force to push through everything!"

"So it turns out you had everything calculated long ago!"

"Not bad! Fucking not bad at all!!"

Lin Zhan reached out a hand as large as a cattail leaf fan and slapped Lin Yuan's shoulder hard. That force, if it were an ordinary Huagang Realm expert, would probably have half their body shattered!

But Lin Yuan only swayed slightly, then disgustedly patted his wrinkled collar.

And Lin Zhan's words made the surrounding Prodigies completely dumbfounded.

Calculated it all?

Was... was there some hidden story they didn't know about?

Seemingly seeing everyone's confusion, and seemingly wanting to show off his grandson in front of the whole world.

Lin Zhan looked around, and his majestic voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"You little fellows, what do you think the 'God Lord' is?"

"That is an ancient evil spirit entrenched in another sub-space, slumbering for nearly a thousand years! His strength has long surpassed the scope of 'Heaven-Treading' and reached a Realm we cannot imagine!"

"Forget about you, even if it were me, if his true body descended, I would have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Boom!

Lin Zhan's words once again made everyone feel as if they'd been struck by lightning!

Even the Guardian Martial God admitted he had no chance of winning?!

Then... doesn't that mean that 'God Lord' is a truly invincible existence?!

A deeper despair, originating from being completely crushed at the cognitive level, once again shrouded everyone's hearts.

However, Lin Zhan's next words instantly lifted them from Hell to Heaven.

"But!"

Lin Zhan changed his tone, his gaze falling on Lin Yuan again, filled with pride.

"That old monster may be powerful, but he is not invincible! He was heavily injured before and is still in a slumber, slowly recovering!"

"And this gate of the divine kingdom is the only channel connecting him to our world! It is also the 'straw' he uses to suck our world's Origin to restore himself!"

"Lin Yuan, this kid, saw through exactly this!"

"Everything he did today may seem reckless, but it was actually the optimal and only solution under the current circumstances!"

"He killed the Divine Officials to enrage the God Lord, forcing him to project more power onto this 'gate of the divine kingdom' to strengthen the connection between the two worlds!"

"And his final sword strike, sacrificing ninety-nine divine weapons, appeared to be attacking the 'gate of the divine kingdom', but in reality, it used those ninety-nine different powers of Law to detonate the channel's energy nodes, temporarily severing the connection of Karma between the two worlds!"

"In this way, that old monster not only can no longer draw power from our world, but will instead suffer a backlash due to the collapse of the channel, aggravating his injuries and delaying his awakening!"

"And this will buy us humans at least... more than ten years of precious time!"

Lin Zhan's voice was powerful and resonant!

When the last word fell, the entire world fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Lin Yuan, who still had an impatient look on his face as if saying "what's so strange about this."

Their brains were completely unable to think anymore.

So... that's how it was!

So from the very beginning, this man had calculated everything!

His seemingly arrogant "warm-up is over", his seemingly reckless killing of the Divine Officials, his seemingly extravagant sacrifice of divine weapons... everything was within his control!

Using the entire Divine Court as chess pieces, the world as the chessboard, and the supreme 'God Lord' as his opponent, he had played a shocking game of chess that would determine the future fate of the entire world!

And he won!

Won cleanly and decisively!

Gulp.

Yan Wu Xiaolie swallowed hard. As he looked at Lin Yuan, the last trace of human emotion in his eyes disappeared.

It was replaced by an awe as if he were looking at a deity!

This was true strategic planning and winning from a thousand miles away!

This was true, supreme elegance!

His own previous so-called calculations and pride were simply like a three-year-old's graffiti in front of this man, ridiculous to the extreme!

"Ten years..."

Su Li murmured to herself, her eyes shining with brilliance as she looked at Lin Yuan.

To buy ten years of peace for this world.

He did not hesitate to sacrifice a hundred divine weapons to sever this eternal scourge with his own strength!

What breadth of mind!

What courage!

At this moment, Su Li's heart was completely in disarray.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this massive shock that could overturn their worldview.

Lin Yuan, the center of attention, lazily yawned again.

"Are you finished?"

He picked his ear and looked with disgust at his grandfather, who was still talking incessantly, frantically boasting about how awesome his grandson was.

"If you're finished, then hurry up and disperse, it's noisy as Hell."

"I have to go home."

After saying that, he really turned around to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Zhan was so angry at his behavior that his beard and eyes twitched, and he grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"You brat! I've built up your prestige to the max, and this is your attitude?!"

Lin Yuan struggled a bit, but couldn't break free, so he could only turn his head helplessly.

"Then what? Should I stand here, accept their worship, and then give a speech about saving the world?"

"Spare me, it's too tiring."

He looked at Lin Zhan with a sincere face and made a request that nearly made everyone petrify on the spot.

"Grandpa, your way of showing up was pretty cool, tearing through space—it's much faster than a plane."

"How about... you give me a lift back on your way?"
