"Hurry, hurry, we need to leave the lighthouse. Time is of the essence, or we'll be too late."
Upon receiving the news, people packed their belongings and headed to the assembly point near the elevator platform.
Looking at the people arriving one after another, Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, you're pretty quick.
"Lin Yuan...can I ask you something?"
Sui Ying looked somewhat hesitant, feeling that Lin Yuan had become much more unfamiliar since they last met.
Born of the same mortal origin, he has become a powerful being that is both unattainable and beyond reach.
All the opportunities I've had during this period, all the painstaking efforts to climb the ladder, all the relentless struggles... it all seems so ridiculous.
These are all things that Lin Yuan disdains.
Thinking about this, 4068 fell into a deep sense of inferiority.
"whats the matter?"
Lin Yuan gave a fairly friendly smile, seemingly in a good mood.
Sui Ying finally felt relieved.
It seems Lin Yuan doesn't mind working under Charles.
"4277... How is she?"
He asked the question that had been troubling him all along, wanting to know the answer yet also fearing to know it.
"This."
Lin Yuan recalled that he had heard that the girl had stayed up all night after the party and then went to work.
As a result, the effects kicked in and I went back to sleep soundly.
“We played too much last night, and 4277 is exhausted. She still hasn’t woken up.”
"What?!!"
Sui Ying was struck as if by lightning, her pupils dilating violently!
The worst thing has really happened, 4277 has been...
He felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly, the pain so intense he could hardly breathe. Gritting his teeth, he asked one last question:
"How many people are there?"
"Too many to remember."
Lin Yuan shook his head. "Anyway, 4079 was there at the time."
"Is 4079 here too?"
Suiying's face turned pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and she felt deeply betrayed. "Even he...?"
"Why are you so bothered by that? That's so petty!"
Lin Yuan pursed his lips, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to play with everyone another day."
"No, I don't accept it!"
Sui Ying felt her vision go black, her legs suddenly went weak, and she fainted.
Lin Yuan was stunned, somewhat confused.
What's wrong with this guy?
What did you say to Suiying?
Charles, who was gathering the crowd from a distance, had a slight change in expression and asked with suspicion.
At this moment, Fan Lu's face was as pale as paper, and he looked fearful and uneasy.
She saw Suiying go to find Lin Yuan, so she followed to find out what was going on. Unfortunately, she overheard the whole conversation and was so frightened that she started trembling.
The settlements on the ground...how terrifying!
Chapter 123 Sister, take good care of Father
Lin Yuan was somewhat bewildered.
Why did Suiying suddenly collapse?
This posture makes it seem like they're the ones bullying others.
Lin Yuan glanced at him and saw that Charles was looking at him suspiciously, with the surprise in his eyes growing stronger.
Turn your gaze to the Radiant One, Brahma.
"Don't come over here..."
The girl immediately covered her chest with her hands in fear, took a few steps back, and added in a trembling voice:
"Light cleanses my soul, shadow shelters my body, the Way controls desires, joy is without excess! I... I will not compromise with you!"
Dragonbone Village was imagined to be a goblin cave-like place.
Recalling Lin Yuan's words, "There are too many people, I can't remember them all," tears welled up in Fan Lu's eyes.
Having offended Lin Yuan before, would I become a key breeding target once we arrive at the ground settlement?
Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, checked Sui Ying's pulse, and after confirming that he was alright, he put him into the Divine Might Space.
He's just unconscious; it's nothing serious.
By this time, the people of the Lighthouse had gathered enough to be released and it was time to let the Hunter, Jingnan, and Lao Fu out to meet everyone.
With a thought, Lin Yuan used his divine power to open a spatial vortex.
The people at the lighthouse were somewhat apprehensive.
"What exactly is going on? Why were we suddenly summoned?"
"It seems that Lin Yuan has found a settlement on the ground and is here to recruit people on their behalf."
"This is a good thing, why is everyone so afraid?"
"You have no idea, Suiying was so scared she fainted just now!"
"I heard that the people there eat each other, using the women as breeding tools and the men as food reserves!"
"What! Could it be that there weren't enough people taken away last time, so they sent Lin Yuan to pick more?"
"How could this happen! We trusted Lin Yuan so much, and he actually did something like this?!"
Such words gradually spread.
Charles frowned; the situation was already out of control.
Just when it seemed that a public riot was about to break out.
Dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the distorted space.
Everyone was immediately taken aback.
"Look, that's Jing Nan, the chief commander of the flight control room!"
"And the Wilderness Hunters, Flying Snow, Ink City... the city defense troops are here too!"
Some sharp-eyed people spotted Old Fu and the brown-haired boy, with three children from the Dust People following behind them.
"Look! Those are the Dust People who left with Lin Yuan, and also 4079 and 9033 who recently went missing!"
These were the dust people who had lived with them for many years, so they recognized them quickly.
How come all the people who were taken away are alright?
The initial public opinion crumbled on its own, and everyone immediately felt much more at ease.
"We finally meet again."
Old Fu's tone was nostalgic and sentimental as he walked towards the area where the Dust People lived.
The dust people excitedly gathered around, looking at him curiously; some even pinched his arm.
"0609, it's been a while since I've seen you. You seem to have gained weight, and you look much more energetic!"
"Hehe, that's for sure. The food there is so good. It's fish, shrimp, and mushrooms every day. We're so tired of it."
"What?! There are fish and shrimp too?! I haven't seen any of these things since I came up to the lighthouse!"
"Of course! When we arrive at Dragonbone Village, we Dust People can eat normal food. Oh, and we can also have our own names. From now on, you can call me Master Fu, or you can call me Old Fu."
"Deputy City Lord? Seriously, are you out of your mind to choose such a name?!"
"Hey, what are you afraid of? The era of the lighthouse will soon be over. You can all name yourselves whatever you like then. Calling yourselves Morgan and Charles is fine too! As long as you're not afraid of having the same name as someone else!"
Old Fu answered the question with a smug look on his face.
The people grew increasingly excited as they listened, almost to the point of dancing with joy.
After being a mortal for over twenty years, I never thought I would have the chance to be a human again!
...........
"Don't worry, everyone. Dragonbone Village has shielding towers to protect us from the Devouring Beasts, as well as purification equipment to prevent the invasion of the Mana ecosystem. Just remember the following: No hoarding of personal items, follow instructions, and refrain from sabotage or creating chaos..."
Jingnan used a loudspeaker to communicate with everyone.
After explaining the situation, Bai Yuekui made his grand entrance, immediately eliciting gasps from the audience.
"Wow! This is the leader of Dragonbone Village?"
"So young?!"
"I never expected her to be such a beauty, and her aura is quite something."
Charles gasped for breath, his face contorted in disbelief, as he looked at the white-haired girl with the accessories around her waist and the short, fluffy shawl she wore.
Isn't this the white-haired woman from forty years ago? So many years have passed, yet she looks exactly the same as in the painting, without the slightest change! This... is simply unbelievable.
"Now everyone is here."
Charles suppressed his surprise and tried to speak calmly, "But how are you going to take these tens of thousands of people away?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
Lin Yuan walked to Old Fu's side and, amidst the gasps of the crowd, sucked him into the Divine Might Space.
"What happened? Old Fu... was eaten?"
Everyone stared in disbelief, some even panicking.
"Please be patient, everyone. He has simply entered another dimension so that Lin Yuan can take you away from the lighthouse. Please cooperate."
Jingnan quickly offered a few words of reassurance.
Lin Yuan then released Old Fu at the opportune moment, which caused another gasp from the crowd.
"Haha, I'm out again!" Old Fu laughed loudly.
"Why all this drama? Go back now..." Lin Yuan scoffed and teleported him back to the Divine Might Space.
Next came a group of hunters and city defense troops.
Having the city's garrison participate in maintaining public order is, to some extent, a test.
If they can't even do this simple thing well, then there's no point in using them.
The people watched in amazement as people kept disappearing.
"What technology is this?"
"It doesn't seem like a product of science, it's too amazing, it's practically a power that gods could possess!"
"Could it be that humans on Earth have grasped the truth?!"
Soon, it was the turn of the people of the Lighthouse. They shrank back in fear, suppressing their tension and unease, as they were sucked into the Divine Might Space.
Charles and Fan Lu were somewhat shocked. Although they knew that Lin Yuan could take people away, they did not expect that he actually possessed an alternate dimension that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
..........
Half an hour later, tens of thousands of people were sent into the Divine Might Space.
