Live broadcast worldwide! I, Lin Yuan, am hosting a world summit from my living room!
Lin Jianguo's ability to take action was beyond doubt.
He did not waste another word, turning and walking to a quiet corner, where he took out a uniquely shaped, ancient-looking communicator that emitted a faint glow.
He took a deep breath and pressed the red button that represented the highest level of authority.
"It is I, Lin Jianguo."
"Emergency! Highest level!"
"Lin Yuan has intelligence concerning the survival of the world that needs to be reported to The Elder Council immediately!"
There was a silence on the other end of the line for a full three seconds.
Clearly, the name Lin Yuan, along with the words "global survival," carried a massive impact.
A moment later, a calm and majestic voice sounded.
"Understood."
"The Elder Council will convene an emergency meeting immediately."
"Please have Mr. Lin Yuan come to the Beijing headquarters at once."
Lin Jianguo hung up the communicator and walked back quickly, a hint of gravity on his face.
"Little Yuan, The Elder Council has agreed."
"They want you to…"
His words were cut off by Lin Yuan waving his hand.
"Go to the headquarters?"
Lin Yuan's brows furrowed again.
"Too much trouble."
He said, looking disgusted.
"…"
Lin Jianguo felt his blood pressure spike instantly.
At a time like this!
And you still think it's too much trouble?!
Everyone present looked at Lin Yuan with the expression one might use for an alien.
This was a summons from the highest center of power in Longxia!
Countless people dreamed of it, yet didn't even have the qualifications to meet them once!
And you, you just say "too much trouble"?
However, Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to everyone's expressions.
He walked straight to the giant home theater screen that occupied almost the entire wall of the living room.
He picked up the remote control and pressed the power button.
"Let's just talk here," he said without looking back.
"Connect the video feed."
"…"
Lin Jianguo opened his mouth, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.
He picked up the communicator once more.
"Lin Yuan… he says coming to the headquarters is too much trouble and wants us to connect the video conference directly to his living room…"
There was another deathly silence on the other end of the line.
This silence was even longer than the last.
One could imagine how spectacular the expressions of the big shots on the other end must be at this moment.
After a long while, the voice sounded again, with a hint of helpless, wry amusement.
"...Connect it!"
Soon, the giant screen flickered and lit up instantly.
Nine split screens appeared on the display.
In each screen sat an elderly man with a composed aura and an imposing presence.
They were the highest decision-making body of Longxia, The Elder Council!
When their gazes passed through the cameras and saw Lin Yuan's living room, which was full of the atmosphere of daily life and even had leftover food on the table, their eye corners twitched involuntarily, despite their composed Heart-Nature.
Holding the highest level of emergency meeting in his own living room?
This kid was probably the first in history!
One of the Elders cleared his throat and was about to speak.
"Mr. Lin Yuan…"
However, Lin Yuan cut him off again.
"Don't speak yet."
Lin Yuan sat lazily on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"Telling you alone is useless."
"Contact the high-level officials of other countries immediately."
"The generals of the Oulu Alliance, the representatives of the Holy Knights Order, the chairman of the Magic Council, as well as White Eagle Country, North Bear Country, Sakura Country…"
"Get everyone you can contact to come here."
"I am holding a world summit."
Boom!
These words exploded in everyone's ears like a heavy bomb!
Lin Jianguo, Su Qin, Lin Mengyao… Su Li, Gu Ningxue, Aila… Everyone present was stunned!
Their minds went blank!
A world… summit?
Here… in this place?
In their living room?
On the screen, those nine Elders who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before them, collectively lost their composure!
They widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief!
This kid… is he crazy?!
Does he know what he is saying?
Who does he think he is?
This is even more absurd than an emperor issuing an imperial decree!
However, looking at Lin Yuan's calm eyes that did not ripple in the slightest, and watching his indifferent expression, as if he were just discussing "what to have for dinner," the trace of anger in the hearts of those present somehow quietly extinguished.
It was replaced by an unprecedented, immense pressure!
Everyone exchanged glances at high speed.
Finally, they took a deep breath and made a decision that might go down in history.
"...Very well!"
"We will contact them immediately!"
With the order given, the entire command System of Longxia began to operate at unprecedented efficiency!
Encrypted communication messages were sent to the major powers around the world within just a few minutes!
… Oulu Alliance, Military Command Center.
An iron-blooded general with silver hair and stars on his shoulders was woken from his sleep.
When he saw the content of the communication, his brows furrowed tightly.
"What are the Longxia people playing at? Lin Yuan? That young man?"
"He wants to hold a world summit? Ridiculous!"
But he hesitated for a moment before ordering: "Connect it!"
… North Bear Country, White Eagle Country, Sakura Country.
The Holy Knights Order, the Magic Council… Whether it was official state powers or powerful non-governmental organizations, everyone was gathered together at this moment!
… Big shots who could cause an earthquake just by stomping their feet on the Blue Planet all received this bizarre meeting invitation from Longxia at the same time.
Their first reaction was almost entirely one of absurdity and confusion.
But when they saw the name "Lin Yuan," they involuntarily chose to accept.
There was no other choice.
Not long ago, this name had just been branded into the memories of the entire world in the most shocking and unparalleled way!
He was the hero who saved the world!
No one dared to truly ignore his words!
And so, in the living room of the Lin Family Manor, a scene that could only be described as magical appeared.
On the giant screen, the original nine frames began to increase rapidly!
Ten, eleven, twelve… An Oulu general in a crisp military uniform with a stern face appeared.
A representative of the Magic Council wearing classical robes with a mysterious aura appeared.
A blonde, blue-eyed, arrogant-looking official from White Eagle Country appeared.
A burly, bearded, brawny man from North Bear Country appeared.
… In less than ten minutes, the entire giant screen was divided into over twenty small windows.
Behind each window represented the highest authority of a country or the top power of a continent!
This was a world summit in the true sense of the word!
And the venue for this summit was actually a private living room!
In the living room, Lin Yuan's family and friends were completely petrified.
They didn't dare to breathe, their bodies stiff as they huddled in the corner, feeling as if they were dreaming.
On the screen, those top big shots from all over the world looked at each other, their expressions varied.
There was confusion, impatience, scrutiny, and curiosity.
But in the end, all eyes focused through the cameras on the young man sitting leisurely in the center of the sofa.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to have been put on mute.
Everything was silent.
Lin Yuan ignored the immense pressure that was enough to suffocate anyone.
He picked up the cup of tea on the coffee table that had already gone cold and took a gentle sip.
Then, under the gaze of the world's highest authorities, he spoke slowly.
"Alright, everyone is here."
