Chapter 28: The Arrival of a Level VI Civilization! A Cosmic Being! The Ultimate Battle!

Three hours after the conclusion of the Battle to Seal the Sirius Star System Rift.

Lin Feng returned to Earth and immediately convened a highest-level emergency meeting.

In the core conference room of the Abyss Administration Bureau, all guild masters, core players, and scientists gathered together.

"Everyone," Lin Feng stood before the holographic map, his expression solemn, "the Level 6 Civilization will descend in three days."

"This is not a drill, nor is it speculation—it is an impending reality."

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone knew what a "Level 6 Civilization" implied—

Existences that had mastered Multiverse-level technology.

God-tier civilizations capable of creating universes, destroying universes, and traversing time and space.

"Lin Feng," Tian Jian said in a heavy voice, "what are our chances of winning?"

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment:

"In a direct confrontation, we have no chance."

"But we can exploit the characteristics of the rift—"

He opened a holographic projection:

"According to information from the Void Lord, the Level 6 Civilization requires the rift as a channel to descend."

"If we deploy enough defenses around the rift and limit the scale of their descent, we'll have a chance to defeat them one by one."

"Meanwhile—"

He looked toward the team of scientists behind him:

"We need to synthesize new artifacts and increase our strength within these three days."

The science team immediately reported:

"Lin Feng, we analyzed the Void Core you brought back and found it can be fused with the Galactic Core to synthesize a brand-new artifact."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up:

"How long will synthesis take?"

"48 hours."

"Start immediately!"

Over the next three days, Earth entered a state of frenzied war preparation.

Day One:

The player count broke through 1 billion, and all players were mobilized.

The fleet size expanded to 200,000 ships, with all warships undergoing final maintenance.

The Galactic Core and the Void Core began to fuse.

Day Two:

Defense arrays were established across all colonial planets, including the Sirius Star System, Solar System, Mars, and Jupiter.

The Void Lord sent final reinforcements—5,000 Level 5 Civilization warships.

Lin Feng consumed all his experience points to unlock more god-tier skills.

Lin Feng felt the surging power within his body and gripped the blade of void termination tightly.

"Three... two... one..."

He looked at the rapidly expanding rift in the sky:

"The Level 6 Civilization is here."

The third day, midnight.

In Earth's orbit, 200,000 warships were lined up in neat formation.

On the ground, over 2 billion players entered a state of combat readiness.

In the sky, that pitch-black rift had already expanded to span the entire Solar System, with a width exceeding 10 billion kilometers.

Inside the rift, countless twisted shadows writhed, and purple light illuminated the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

[System Warning: The main rift of the Gate of the Universe has fully opened]

[Detected Level 6 Civilization signal influx]

[Signal Strength: Immeasurable]

[Warning: Level 6 Civilization existences are descending]

Lin Feng stood on the bridge of the flagship, staring deep into the rift.

"Lin Feng," the Void Lord's voice came through, "the vanguard of the Level 6 Civilization is about to descend."

"Their code name is—Cosmic Arbiters."

"In a Level 6 Civilization, they are the existences responsible for judging and destroying other civilizations."

"Lin Feng, you must be careful."

"The strength of a Cosmic Arbiter is far beyond your imagination."

Lin Feng took a deep breath:

"I will win."

Just as he finished speaking—

A massive figure slowly emerged from the rift.

It was a humanoid creature over 1,000 kilometers tall, its body composed of pure cosmic energy, with countless galaxy patterns flowing across its surface.

Its eyes were like two black holes, radiating a pressure that could destroy everything.

[Detected Level 6 Civilization existence]

[Code Name: Cosmic Arbiter · Finale]

[Strength: Early-stage Level 6 Civilization]

[Threat Level: Cosmic-level]

The Cosmic Arbiter's voice was like a cosmic resonance, echoing throughout the Milky Way Galaxy:

"Lower civilizations, your existence violates the laws of the universe."

"I am Cosmic Arbiter · Finale, sent by the Level 6 Civilization to judge you."

"Your crime—"

"Attempting to break through civilization level restrictions and threatening cosmic balance."

"The verdict—"

"Destruction."

It raised its hand, and a beam of energy over 1,000 kilometers in diameter shot straight toward Earth!

The power contained in that beam was enough to instantly destroy the entire Solar System!

"All fleets, full defensive power!" Lin Feng roared.

200,000 warships released their shields simultaneously, forming a massive energy barrier.

But—

BOOM!!!

The beam easily pierced the shields and continued its charge toward Earth!

"Damn it..."

Lin Feng's figure blurred, turning into a streak of light to block the path to Earth.

He raised the blade of void termination, gathering all his power:

"Civilization Termination · Final Strike!"

A black pillar of light collided with the purple pillar of light in space!

RUMBLE—!!!

The two forces clashed, triggering a terrifying energy storm!

Lin Feng felt a sharp pain as if his arms were about to break, but he gritted his teeth and held on:

"I won't... let you destroy Earth!"

He burned his HP, and his power exploded:

"Break for me—!!!"

BOOM!!!

The black beam finally repelled the purple beam, surging straight toward the Cosmic Arbiter!

The Cosmic Arbiter waved its hand, and the beam was easily neutralized.

"Interesting," its voice carried a hint of surprise, "a level 4 civilization managed to block one of my strikes."

"You have indeed violated the laws of the universe."

"But, you are also quite special."

"Lin Feng, the Civilization Terminator."

"I give you a choice."

"Surrender, join the Level 6 Civilization, and become an Observer."

"You will gain eternal life and infinite power."

"Otherwise—"

"I shall utterly destroy you and your civilization in the name of the cosmic laws."

Lin Feng sneered:

"Surrender?"

"Sorry, I don't have that habit."

He looked back at the Earth behind him, at the players cheering for him:

"Earth Civilization never yields!"

"Cosmic Arbiter, you want to destroy us?"

"Then come and try!"

The Cosmic Arbiter was silent for a moment, then said:

"Foolish."

"Since you choose destruction, I shall grant it to you."

It spread its hands, and countless galaxy patterns appeared in the surrounding starry sky.

"Cosmic Law · Galactic Judgment."

The countless galaxy patterns converged, forming a massive energy vortex over 100 million kilometers in diameter!

At the center of the energy vortex, a beam of light capable of destroying the entire Milky Way Galaxy was condensing!

"Is that..." Li Xue shouted in horror, "a galaxy-destroying level attack?!"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

This strike was enough to destroy the entire Milky Way!

All life, including Earth, would be reduced to ashes!

"Damn it..."

"I have to stop it..."

Lin Feng looked at the system interface and found only one final path left:

"System, unlock all skills and burn all HP!"

[Warning: Burning all HP will result in player death]

[Confirm?]

"Confirm!"

Lin Feng's HP began to burn, turning into pure power that surged into the blade of void termination.

His body began to break down, but his gaze remained resolute:

"Cosmic Arbiter!"

"You want to destroy the Milky Way?"

"Then you'll have to go through me first!"

"Civilization Terminator · Cosmic Judgment — Final Judgment!"

He swung his sword down—

A pitch-black pillar of light erupted from the blade, surging straight toward the Cosmic Arbiter!

This beam contained all of Lin Feng's power, the full potency of all his skills, and—his life!

The two pillars of light collided in space!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire Milky Way Galaxy was shaking!

Two cosmic-level forces clashed violently!

Finally—

Lin Feng's beam pierced through the Cosmic Arbiter's attack!

A direct hit!

"No... impossible..."

The Cosmic Arbiter's body began to crumble:

"I... am a Level 6 Civilization existence..."

"How could I... be defeated... by a player from a level 4 civilization..."

Its body turned into countless points of light, dissipating into the universe.

[Battle Victory]

[Defeated Cosmic Arbiter · Finale (Early-stage Level 6 Civilization)]

[Warning: Player HP has been exhausted]

[Player is about to die]

Lin Feng's body began to dissipate.

He looked at the Earth behind him, at the players cheering for him, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Earth... take care..."

"Humanity... the future... belongs to you..."

His body completely vanished—

[Player "Lin Feng" has died]
