Chapter 18 Post-War Reconstruction! New Artifacts Awaken the Power of the Universe

After the victory in the Battle for Earth, the entire world fell into a frenzy of celebration.

In the city squares, tens of millions of players cheered and celebrated as fireworks bloomed and streamers flew through the air.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the square, holding the newly acquired orange divine artifact—the Zeta Emperor's Sword.

[Zeta Emperor's Sword (Orange Divine Artifact)]

[Attack Power: 3,000 - 5,000]

[Special Effect: Can control the flow of time, dealing 500% damage to any target]

[Special Skill: Time Reversal—Can reverse local time by 10 seconds]

[Level Requirement: Lv.80]

"Time Reversal..." Lin Feng murmured to himself, "This skill is too powerful."

If time could be reversed, it meant any mistake could be corrected during battle.

This was a true god-tier skill.

"Lin Feng, you're amazing!" Li Xue threw herself into his arms, her eyes full of admiration, "You saved the Earth!"

"It wasn't just me." Lin Feng shook his head, "It was the result of all the players working together."

He looked at the cheering players around him, his heart filled with emotion.

Three days ago, they were just ordinary players, most of them below Lv.20.

Three days later, they had grown into warriors above Lv.50 and had just saved the Earth.

This growth rate was simply incredible.

"What should we do next?" Li Xue asked.

"Reconstruct." Lin Feng opened the administrator interface, "Post-war reconstruction to enhance global strength."

He entered a command, and the system responded immediately.

[Server-wide Announcement: Post-War Reconstruction Plan Initiated]

[All cities entering Repair Mode]

[All players receive Reconstruction Rewards]

[Reward Content: 10,000 Gold Coins, 1 Random Purple Equipment, 1 Skill Book]

The players cheered and jumped for joy as they claimed their rewards one after another.

Lin Feng entered more commands.

[New Dungeon Opened: Cosmic Battlefield]

[New Function Opened: interstellar portal]

[New System Opened: Guild Territory]

"Cosmic Battlefield?" Li Xue asked in surprise, "This is..."

"A dungeon that leads to the universe." Lin Feng said seriously, "The Zeta Civilization is only a Level 3 civilization; there are even more powerful existences in the universe."

"We must be prepared."

"So, I opened the Cosmic Battlefield to let players adapt to interstellar warfare in advance."

"What about the interstellar portal?"

"Portals that connect to other planets." Lin Feng smiled, "Earth's resources are limited; we need to pioneer new territories."

"And the Guild Territory?"

"It allows guilds to have their own planets." Lin Feng looked toward the sky, "In the future, every guild can become an interstellar power."

Li Xue was stunned.

"You... you want Earth to become an interstellar civilization?"

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded, "Only in this way can we resist the threats in the universe."

He opened the administrator interface to check the current data.

[Earth Civilization Level: Level 1 Civilization]

[Average Player Level: Lv.55]

[Number of Guilds: 1,000]

[Number of Dungeons: 50]

"An average level of Lv.55 is far from enough." Lin Feng murmured to himself, "I want all players to reach Lv.80 or higher."

"Only then can we cope with a true universal crisis."

He entered a command.

[Server-wide Experience Bonus: Permanently increased by 500%]

[New Dungeon Rewards Doubled]

[BOSS Drop Rate increased by 300%]

The players cheered once more; a frantic leveling craze was about to begin.

Just then, a warning suddenly popped up on Lin Feng's system administrator interface.

[Warning: Universal fluctuations detected]

[Warning: A powerful existence is observing Earth]

[Warning: Observer Strength: Level 4 Civilization]

Lin Feng's pupils constricted sharply.

A Level 4 civilization?

That was one level higher than the Zeta Civilization!

"What's wrong?" Li Xue asked nervously, seeing his expression.

"A more powerful civilization is observing us." Lin Feng gripped the fallen blade tightly, "And it's a Level 4 civilization."

"A Level 4 civilization? Then wouldn't that be..."

"Yes, even more powerful than the Zeta Civilization we just defeated." Lin Feng took a deep breath, "It seems the war isn't over yet."

He opened the observation interface and saw a blurry figure watching Earth.

It was a humanoid creature, but its body was composed of pure energy, emitting a terrifying aura.

[Observer: Void Lord]

[Affiliated Civilization: Void Civilization]

[Civilization Level: Level 4]

[Strength: Unknown]

[Purpose: Unknown]

"Void Lord..." Lin Feng murmured, "A powerhouse of a Level 4 civilization."

"Why is he observing Earth?"

Li Xue nervously grabbed his hand: "Lin Feng, can we... can we win?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then he smiled.

"I don't know."

"But I'm not afraid."

"Because I have administrator privileges, I have the fallen blade, and..."

He looked at the cheering players around them.

"And I have them."

"As long as we are united, there is no enemy we cannot defeat."

Tears shimmered in Li Xue's eyes as she hugged him tightly.

"Lin Feng, you really are... incredible."

Lin Feng held her close and looked up at the figure in the sky.

The Void Lord seemed to sense Lin Feng's gaze, nodded slightly, and then disappeared.

[Observation Ended]

[Void Lord Departed]

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but the vigilance in his heart did not vanish.

What did the observation by a Level 4 civilization mean?

Friend or foe?

Or... the precursor to another invasion?

He didn't know.

But he knew that Earth had to become stronger.

Only by becoming an interstellar civilization could they gain a foothold in this universe.

"Everyone, hear my command!" Lin Feng's voice resounded through heaven and earth, "Though the war has ended, a new journey has only just begun!"

"From this day forward, Earth will step into the stars!"

"We will explore the universe, pioneer new planets, and become a true interstellar civilization!"

"Is everyone ready to face the new challenges?"

In the square, tens of millions of players roared in unison:

"We're ready!"

"Explore the universe!"

"Pioneer the planets!"

"Long live Earth!"

Lin Feng smiled, gripping both the fallen blade and the Zeta Emperor's Sword.

The new journey had officially begun.
