A resounding victory! A celebration party? I'm not going, I'm too socially awkward!

The moment the words left his mouth.

The chaotic space in front of Lin Yuan was forcibly torn apart by a power that was tyrannical to the extreme!

A burly figure stepped out from within!

He wore a simple black martial arts uniform, with a resolute face and eyes like lightning. Just by standing there, his body emitted a terrifying pressure sufficient to crush eternity!

Heaven Treading Realm!

A majestic gaze fell upon Lin Yuan.

Lin Zhan!

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a look; without needing any words, they had already reached a tacit understanding.

Immediately following!

From within the torn spatial rift, several more figures walked out one after another!

There were other Martial Gods of Dragon Xia Kingdom, as well as top experts from other nations!

The aura of every single one of them was as vast as the sea!

"Do it!"

Lin Zhan shouted lowly and was the first to strike!

His hands formed an incredibly profound dharma Seal in front of his chest!

"Void Suppressing Seal!"

The other Martial Gods made the same movement at the same time!

Buzz—!!!

One after another, golden runes of extreme brilliance flew from their hands, rapidly intertwining and fusing in mid-air, finally transforming into a giant golden net that covered the sky and sun, ruthlessly enveloping that pitch-black passage which was already half-open!

The golden net fell, temporarily suppressing the expansion of the passage!

Meanwhile, with a thought from Lin Yuan!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—!"

The dozens of golden divine swords encircling him transformed into streaks of deathly light, boldly charging into that pitch-black passage!

Puchi! Puchi!

Those few Void Lords who had just poked their heads out and were acting insufferably arrogant didn't even have time to see the outside world before they were instantly strangled into a rain of shredded meat by the violent sword formation!

Roar—!!!!

From the other side of the passage, on the home planet of the Void Zerg, came a roar of extreme fury!

An indescribably terrifying will that surpassed the Heaven Treading Realm, carrying endless killing intent, suddenly surged through the passage!

Puff!

Lin Zhan, who bore the brunt of it, felt his body shake violently as a trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The golden net laid by the combined efforts of several Martial Gods also emitted an overburdened wail under the impact of this will, and even fine cracks appeared on its surface!

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Without the slightest hesitation, holding the cangming sword, his figure flashed and he appeared directly at the core of the pitch-black passage!

Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone.

He ruthlessly plunged the cangming sword in his hand into the very center of the passage!

Buzz—!

A surge of Origin power from the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body followed the sword's blade, frantically pouring into the passage core!

Upon the blade of the cangming sword, countless ancient golden runes suddenly lit up!

These runes, as if drawn by some kind of attraction, actively fused with the golden net of the "Void Suppressing Seal"!

The passage that had begun to collapse suddenly froze at this moment!

Immediately after, it began to slowly close at a speed visible to the naked eye!

...No one knew how much time had passed.

When the last trace of darkness was completely erased, the entire chaotic space finally returned to tranquility.

The passage was completely Sealed.

Lin Zhan's face looked somewhat pale; evidently, the exertion just now was not easy for him either.

He glanced at Lin Yuan, his eyes filled with relief and admiration.

"I'm going back to enter seclusion for a while."

His voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

"Kid, you did well."

Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and suddenly warned.

"Keep an eye on that disappeared black insect egg."

"If I'm not mistaken, that thing is likely the seed of a 'new generation mother nest' for the Void Zerg. We must not let it take root in this world."

Lin Yuan nodded.

His gaze looked toward the direction where the insect egg had vanished, his deep eyes calm... as the chaotic rift completely mended.

Longxia, and the entire world, were in an uproar!

In front of screens, the long-suppressed cheers erupted like a volcanic eruption, echoing in every corner of the globe!

People embraced, wept, and threw everything in their hands into the sky!

The doomsday crisis capable of destroying civilization had been averted!

And all of this was because of that man.

Lin Yuan!

At this moment, his name was firmly etched into the hearts of over seven billion people worldwide!

...Longxia Supreme Command.

A victory banquet, grander than any in history, was being prepared with great intensity.

Supreme leaders from countries all over the world sent congratulatory telegrams, while also making a common, humble request.

They wanted to personally meet the hero who had saved the world!

A general with stars on his shoulders and a steady aura walked quickly to Lin Yuan.

He straightened his uniform, his expression extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

He stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

"Mr. Lin!"

"The United World Council and the heads of various nations sincerely invite you to attend the Global Victory Banquet!"

"The whole world wishes to catch a glimpse of your elegance!"

The general's voice was resonant and powerful, filled with heartfelt reverence.

However, Lin Yuan merely let out a lazy yawn.

He didn't even glance at the general; his gaze drifted out the window, his expression appearing somewhat annoyed.

"Not going."

Two words were spat out lightly from his mouth.

The expression on the general's face instantly froze.

He thought he had misheard.

“Mr... Mr. Lin, what did you say?”

Lin Yuan finally turned his head and glanced at him; that look was like he was looking at a nuisance.

"I said, I'm not going."

"Why?"

The general asked subconsciously.

Lin Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, seemingly thinking about how to explain.

After a moment, he spoke slowly in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I am an introverted person."

"..."

The general's brain stalled.

As if feeling the explanation wasn't clear enough, Lin Yuan added another sentence.

"I have a bit of social anxiety."

"I'm not good at handling those kinds of noisy social occasions with many people."

"..."

Dead silence.

The entire command center fell into a strange, death-like silence.

Not far away, Xiao Lie, who had just picked up a water cup to take a sip, sprayed it out on the spot upon hearing this, his face turning red as he coughed violently.

Su Li held her forehead and sighed helplessly, her face showing an "as expected" expression.

The battle-hardened general, whose expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, now had his mouth hanging wider and wider, his eyes bulging; his whole person was petrified on the spot.

Social... social anxiety?

When you suppressed the Xue Kui Great General with one finger and Sealed the void passage with one sword, you didn't look like you had social anxiety at all!

However, Lin Yuan was already too lazy to say another word.

He stepped forward, walking straight past the petrified general, leaving everyone with a cool and elegant view of his back... as night fell.

In the suburbs of the capital, Lin Family Manor.

Unlike the scene of all-night revelry outside, it was as quiet here as ever.

Lin Yuan had changed into a comfortable set of loungewear and was sinking into a soft sofa, holding a tablet and boredly scrolling through short videos.

Just then.

From outside the manor came the sound of a car engine cutting out.

Following that were several light footsteps slowly approaching the villa's main entrance.

Su Li, Gu Ningxue, and several familiar figures appeared at the doorway.
