Chapter 138: The Entire Universe

As soon as the text on the stone tablet was revealed, the global live stream went absolutely wild.

The humans who were celebrating in a frenzy just a second ago all froze in place the next.

A higher-dimensional civilization?

A main fleet?

Arriving in three months?

The world, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, was instantly crushed and unable to breathe again.

Fatty Wang stared at the stone tablet, his mouth stammering: "Brother Ye... this, this isn't true, is it? You already insta-killed the Lord of Nothingness, yet something even more fierce is coming?"

Su Qinghan's face turned slightly pale, but she still steadied Lin Ye firmly: "No matter who comes, we will face it together."

Qin Wentian gripped his longsword, his eyes showing unprecedented determination: "You saved my life; I'll be the first to charge into battle."

Sister Chen and the entire Guardian Alliance knelt on one knee: "We are willing to follow Mr. Lin Ye and defend Earth to the death!"

Lin Ye scanned the crowd and smiled faintly.

"What are you panicking about?"

"If I could insta-kill a small fry like the Lord of Nothingness, then no matter how many cannon fodder they send, they're just delivering their heads."

"Three months is enough time to grind them into the dirt."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene instantly calmed down.

That's right, they had Lin Ye.

The Lin Ye who could insta-kill even the Abyss Overlord in one move.

What was there to fear?

The global audience also immediately snapped back, and the live chat was flooded:

"Right! With Brother Ye here, what the hell is there to fear!"

"Kill as many as come!"

"Brother Ye will just wipe them all out!"

"We'll follow Brother Ye and sweep across the entire universe!"

Lin Ye looked up at the live broadcast camera, his voice calm yet resounding across the globe.

"From today on, the world will enter a Level 3 state of combat readiness."

"All countries must cooperate unconditionally and send all resources, technology, and Talent to the combat readiness center."

"The game and reality are now completely linked; player combat power will be directly synchronized with reality."

"Three months from now, I want those higher-dimensional civilizations to know that Earth is not their colony, but their burial ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, every country in the world took immediate action.

The United Nations issued an announcement immediately:

**All of humanity must unconditionally obey Lin Ye's command!**

All military bases, research institutes, factories, and energy sources were opened up!

Leaders of various countries led their teams personally, moving their entire national reserves to the Demon City combat readiness center.

The United States was the first to concede.

President Biden personally initiated a video call, his attitude humble to the core:

"Mr. Lin Ye! We are handing over all our nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, fifth-generation fighters, and space weapons for you to command! All military spending is being allocated to combat readiness! Please, lead us to survival!"

The Japanese Prime Minister burst into tears:

"Lord Lin Ye! We have halted all national production to manufacture weapons and equipment! We'll even give you Mount Fuji to use as an energy tower! Please protect us!"

The President of South Korea was even more direct:

"Lord Lin Ye! Jeju Island is yours! All of South Korea's girl groups and boy bands will serve as your logistics support! We are willing to do anything!"

European countries, Russia, India, Africa, South America...

All countries scrambled to pledge their loyalty.

Everyone knew that only by clinging to Lin Ye's thigh now could they survive.

Fatty Wang couldn't stop grinning, slapping his belly as he shouted:

"Brother Ye! The whole world is listening to you! This level of prestige is insane!"

Lin Ye nodded faintly: "Don't just stand there grinning. Ghost, bring all the resources from the Abyss back to Earth."

Ghost responded immediately: "Received! All the treasures from the Abyss Treasury, Demon God Palace, and Chaotic Ruins are being packed and will be delivered within one minute!"

Su Qinghan took out a tablet and reported quickly:

"There are already 30 billion players online globally, and the game-to-Reality Synchronization channel is fully open. Player levels, equipment, skills, and Talent can all be realized."

Lin Ye ordered: "Activate the universal cultivation mode. All players must kill monsters to level up, and their combat power will synchronize with reality."

"Yes!"

Qin Wentian volunteered: "Brother Ye, I'll go train the global player legion! Within three months, I will train a ten-billion-strong cosmic army!"

"Good." Lin Ye nodded, "Anyone who dares to slack off, just slap a debuff on them."

Qin Wentian's eyes lit up: "Understood! I guarantee I'll train them to be even fiercer than monsters!"

Just then, an emergency communication came from the Creator Gods within the game.

The three Creator Gods of Magic, Interstellar, and Cultivation projected themselves simultaneously, their attitudes extremely respectful.

"Lord Lin Ye! Our three planes are willing to submit completely and be at your disposal!"

"We have brought the Plane Origins, god-tier equipment, and billions of plane legions!"

"As long as you say the word, we will join the battle at any time!"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow: "Just in time. Inject all your Origin Energy into Earth's defensive shield."

The three Creator Gods bowed immediately: "As you command!"

The next second.

Three pillars of colorful light, reaching from the heavens to the earth, descended and shrouded the entire planet.

A seven-colored god-tier defensive shield instantly appeared around the outer layer of Earth, a hundred times thicker and ten thousand times harder than before.

The global audience was fired up.

"Holy crap! Even the Creator Gods are here to cling to his thigh!"

"Brother Ye's prestige is unique in the entire universe!"

"You scum coming in three months, you're dead meat!"

Lin Ye rose into the air, hovering at the gateway between the Abyss and Earth.

He waved his hand, and a massive amount of Abyss resources, god-tier equipment, crystals, and energy stones poured down.

"Attention everyone, claim your equipment, raise your combat power, and practice your skills!"

"In three months, I want everyone on Earth to be at the god-tier level!"

Countless beams of golden light fell.

Ordinary people in reality found god-tier equipment just by picking things up.

A student watching the live stream suddenly found a god-tier longsword in his hand.

A middle-aged woman buying groceries raised her hand and instantly awakened an SSS-rank Talent.

A delivery guy jumped and instantly broke the sound barrier.

The whole world went crazy.

"Holy crap, I awakened a Talent!"

"I put on god-tier armor! I'm invincible to blades and guns!"

"I can kill a cow with one punch! This is so awesome!"

Fatty Wang rode the Shadow Demon Dragon, crazily scattering resources across the global sky:

"Hurry up and claim them! After claiming, hurry up and level up! Three months later, we'll follow Brother Ye and wipe out the higher-dimensional civilization!"

Lin Ye landed, and Su Qinghan handed him water: "You should rest for a bit too, don't overwork yourself."

Lin Ye took it and drank, smiling faintly: "I'm not tired. I need to raise my combat power a bit more."

He looked at his panel.

[Perpetual Energy Level Decay] → [Cross-Dimensional Decay] → [Universal Decay]

At this moment, his power was still skyrocketing.

The Abyss, the three planes, Earth's origin, the Creator Gods' energy...

All were nourishing his Talent.

Ghost suddenly sent an emergency broadcast, its voice cracking with excitement:

"Brother Ye! Major news! Dozens of plane civilizations across the universe have received the news!"

"They are all searching for Earth's coordinates to come and seek your protection, and pay you protection fees!"

"They said as long as you are willing to protect them, they are willing to give any amount of money, resources, and planets!"

Lin Ye curled his lips.

"Tell them."

"The base price for the protection fee is one trillion plane coins."

"If they want to join the Earth Alliance, pay first, then line up."

"Payment must be received within three months; late payments will not be accepted."

Ghost immediately broadcasted this to the entire universe.

The next second.

Everywhere in the universe was in an uproar.

Countless plane civilizations frantically transferred money, rushing to pay Lin Ye the protection fee.

[The Zerg Home Planet contributes one trillion!]

[The Mechanical Empire contributes five trillion!]

[A small Cultivation World contributes 100,000 Immortal Stones!]

[The Magic Federation contributes 1,000 divine artifacts!]

Fatty Wang watched the numbers skyrocketing crazily and collapsed into a pile of gold coins:

"Brother Ye! We're rich! The whole universe is paying us!"

Lin Ye didn't care about the money.

He walked to the center of Earth's defensive shield and closed his eyes.

He unleashed all his power.

The power of the Abyss, the power of the Creator Gods, the power of Universal Decay, the power of Earth's origin...

All fused together.

His aura surged at a terrifying speed.

One-fold, ten-fold, one-hundred-fold, one-thousand-fold...

The entire universe was trembling.

All plane civilizations felt this terrifying power and were all trembling in fear.

"This... what level of power is this?"

"It has surpassed the Creator Gods!"

"Invincible! Absolutely invincible!"

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light in his pupils.

He gently raised his hand and pressed it against the void of the universe.

Hundreds of millions of light-years away, a higher-dimensional reconnaissance satellite approaching Earth instantly turned into ash.

The whole process took less than a second.

The entire globe, all planes, and the entire universe fell into dead silence.

Then, an unprecedented celebration erupted.

"Brother Ye is invincible!!!"

"Earth is invincible!!!"

"The higher-dimensional civilization will definitely die when they arrive!!!"

Lin Ye stood at the pinnacle of the world, his voice reaching every corner.

"Three months."

"I will wait for them to come."

"Kill as many as come."

"If they dare to provoke Earth, I will wipe their civilization from the universe."

As his voice fell.

Global combat preparations were officially maxed out.

Factories roared, players frantically leveled up, armies trained madly, the Creator Gods bolstered the defenses, and the entire universe paid tribute in allegiance.

And Lin Ye stood quietly between heaven and earth.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the so-called higher-dimensional main fleet in three months.

He was already prepared.

Not only to win.

But to fleece the opponent until not even a scrap was left.

Three months later.

At the edge of the universe, a black fleet that blotted out the sky slowly activated its super-light-speed engines.

On the flagship, the Higher-Dimensional Overlord spoke coldly:

"Earth, prepare to be destroyed."

And above Earth.

Lin Ye looked up at the starry sky, his lips curling slightly.

"Are you here?"

"Just right, new debts and old, let's settle them all together."
