Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 403 Big move

The following day, at 3 PM.

With flags flown at half-mast across the country, the mourning service was held as scheduled.

The sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain, which made people feel depressed.

Lin Feng and his group, all dressed in black, walked out of the hotel.

The group boarded the long-awaited bus, which headed towards the former chaotic encampment area.

The roadside was packed with people, so densely packed that you couldn't see the end of them; there were at least over a million people.

Today is a special day. Many companies and factories have given everyone a day off. People are dressed in black or white and are heading towards a destination with solemn and sad expressions. The sound of crying can be heard from time to time.

Even young children felt the oppressive atmosphere and dared not cry.

"This atmosphere is really unpleasant!"

On the bus, Dong Yunan said in a low voice.

"That's how war is. If you only look at the number of casualties, this is still considered small. Even hundreds of thousands wouldn't amount to much!"

Bu Zheng said slowly.

Since the fusion of the interdimensional portals, war has become commonplace.

Every battle for the key is essentially a war, resulting in numerous casualties, sometimes far more than this time.

There was just no memorial service held before.

If we're going to open it, we'll have to open it several times a month.

While it is meant to commemorate heroes, if done too frequently, it can lead to pessimism and despair, impacting all sectors of society.

Therefore, major TV stations previously tried to avoid these news stories.

If it's unavoidable, try to gloss over it with cold, hard casualty figures, avoiding any gory scenes.

This time, the fusion of the Chaotic Lands was so significant that it attracted the attention of the entire world, and it could no longer be concealed.

Although the number of casualties in this key battle was not large, a large number of kings and geniuses perished, resulting in heavy losses and a significant impact, which is why such a memorial service was held.

"Luckily, the Chaotic Lands are closed, otherwise the atmosphere would be even worse!"

Yun Tianqi sighed and glanced at Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng hadn't shut down the Chaotic Land, people would have been even more pessimistic and fearful, and the lives of the soldiers and volunteers who sacrificed themselves there would have seemed meaningless.

Lin Feng watched this scene silently without saying a word.

Having witnessed the destruction of Jiangcheng, he was used to fighting.

I've grown accustomed to death.

The death of a comrade, the death of a stranger, the death of an enemy...

For him, death was actually a very normal thing!

But faced with this atmosphere, he, like Dong Xiaomei, still felt uncomfortable.

He didn't want to attend such a memorial service. It was far more distressing to him than a bloody battle.

What should have been a half-hour journey took an hour and a half to reach the destination due to traffic congestion.

The group got out of the car and found themselves in a somewhat unfamiliar place.

The surrounding high-rise buildings are still there, unchanged. The once messy ruins are now clean and tidy. The area has been placed under martial law, and soldiers with submachine guns are maintaining order.

The white marble floor was piled with various flowers, and seven monuments appeared where the chaotic space gate had once been.

These seven monuments are three meters high and more than ten meters long, cast from a single piece of marble, and engraved with the six large gold-leaf characters "Heroes Will Live Forever".

Beneath the large characters, small black-and-white photographs appear on the monument, each with a different name and a summary of a different life.

The gloomy weather and the sound of crying made one feel depressed, and even breathing became heavy.

The relatives and friends of the victims walked past the monument one by one, including pregnant women, elderly people with white hair, and young children.

Holding number tags, they searched for photos row by row on the monument, their eyes soon reddening and tears blurring their vision.

"Where's Dad?"

"I want my dad?"

The sound of a child crying caught Lin Feng's attention.

The child kept calling for his father, crying and refusing to leave. Even when held by his mother, he struggled desperately.

Some young children looked around in confusion, staring blankly at their crying grandparents and mothers, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Thank goodness I'm not dead!"

Looking at these heartbroken faces, Lin Feng thought to himself.

In the battle for the key, no one can guarantee their survival; even he is not 100% certain.

In battle, unexpected events always occur.

If he dies, his family members will be among these people.

Lin Feng couldn't bear to imagine that scene.

He didn't want to see such crying, such scenes of life and death.

"People from the TV station have also come."

Lin Feng shifted his gaze and looked around. He saw many photographers and foreigners, but he wasn't surprised.

This battle for the key concerns the entire world.

This is an unprecedented and enormous victory that must be reported to give confidence and courage to those who are worried about the future.

It also lets those who have given up on life and become self-destructive understand how difficult their current life is and what they have sacrificed to obtain it.

"Yang Ningbing and the others are there."

Yu Qiao pointed in a direction and said.

Lin Feng looked over and saw people from the ten major families of the capital, guardians, and high-ranking members of professional clubs appear in his line of sight, including many familiar faces.

The arrival of Lin Feng's team attracted a lot of attention.

In this chaotic land, Lin Feng's team performed exceptionally well, achieving the best results.

Even a king has killed more than ten people, let alone those geniuses. I heard that Lin Feng's team killed more than a thousand geniuses. Just thinking about it is amazing.

It should be noted that both the Martial King and the Spirit King are qualified to become guardians.

In each of the twelve base cities, there will be no more than eighteen guardians, and usually only twelve.

The fact that Lin Feng's team killed more King-level players than the Guardians of an entire base city is truly astonishing.

This achievement is even more glorious than sealing the Jade Seal spatial gate.

At this time, people did not know that Lin Feng had obtained the key and closed the spatial gate to the Chaotic Land!
If we calculate it that way, more than a hundred Kings have died at the hands of Lin Feng's team.

This record is unmatched, not even by a king, let alone an emperor.

This is also why Hong Tao and his two companions wanted to keep it a secret.

Their record is too glorious, but their strength is too weak. They are not even kings, so they are easily defeated.

Even with Bu Zheng protecting him, Lin Feng's safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Why are so many club personnel here?"

Lin Feng asked Ye Xing.

During this period, due to the merging of the Chaotic Lands, the Glory Alliance was in turmoil, and all competitions were suspended.

Even major clubs have closed down.

The once-glorious star, who drove fans wild, has lost its former glory, and its commercial activities and endorsements have also disappeared.

The Glory players are all very strong and are recognized as geniuses, but according to statistics, only thirteen Glory professional players entered the Chaotic Land this time!
This number is very ironic.

The irony reached its peak. Keep in mind, all five main members of the Red Cloud team had entered the Chaotic Land.

The Honor of Kings professional league has hundreds of teams and thousands of professional players, but there are only thirteen volunteers!
Hongyun University, excluding Lin Feng's team, also had fourteen volunteers this time.

University students are generally under 22 years old!
Some of them are only twenty years old, such as Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

Even among the volunteers from the nine elite joint schools, there were more than professional players.

The more glamorous and popular a professional player was before, the more pathetic and embarrassed they are now.

They've become like rats crossing the street, hated and beaten by everyone.

The internet is filled with insults.

Professional players have become synonymous with "actors" because, in the eyes of netizens, they can only perform and are good at nothing else.

The Glory Alliance is facing an unprecedented crisis.

These days, professional players and clubs are keeping a low profile, avoiding public appearances whenever possible.

But with so many important figures and photographers present today, it's unusually high-profile.

The top executives of all ten clubs came, and in addition, there were quite a few S-level clubs.

"Who knows how they even have the nerve to show their faces!"

Yu Qiao said sarcastically.

He clearly looked down on these professional players.

He originally planned to join a professional league to acquire resources, but it now seems that the league is going to fail.

"We don't know either, we haven't received any information!"

Faced with Lin Feng's doubts, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were also at a loss.

They also received no message.

To their even greater surprise, the club's management noticed them, some simply nodding and others completely ignoring them.

"This is?"

Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.

As ten All-Stars, team captains, and cash cows for their clubs, even if they break through to the Grandmaster realm and choose to retire, they shouldn't be ignored like this, right?

It's important to know that many retired professional players can still bring commercial value to their clubs.

And given their performance and reputation in the Chaotic Lands this time, how could this be?

"Haha, you've been ignored!"

Yu Qiao said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Yun Tianqi rolled his eyes, ignoring Yu Qiao's teasing. Since they had chosen to retire, he and Ye Xing naturally wouldn't care about the club's attitude.

The stark contrast between the two situations made them somewhat uncomfortable.

"Looks like something big is about to happen!"

Ye Xing said that although he did not know what had happened, he was certain that the Glory Alliance would make a big move.

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us!"

Yun Tianqi had no concept of the Dao.

He and Ye Xing have already broken through to the Lingyun Realm and need to prepare for breaking through to the King Realm.

Even if the alliance had no level restrictions, they would still have no chance of returning to the Glory Alliance!

"Grandpa, am I going over there for a moment?"

Not far away, seeing Zhan Tianyu walking towards Lin Feng and his group, Yang Ningbing said to Yang Qingtian beside her.

"Ah."

Yang Qingtian nodded slightly.

Although Lin Feng will not return to his family, he will not object to Yang Ningbing joining Lin Feng's team.

This is a team composed of a group of exceptionally talented individuals. Yang Ningbing joined the team, and her strength has improved rapidly. She may also benefit from it in the future.

Seeing that her grandfather agreed, Yang Ningbing quickly walked towards Lin Feng and his group.

"Lin Feng!"

Five members of the Yang family came this time.

Because of Yang Ningbing, Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing learned some inside information, and compared to others, their gazes toward Lin Feng were much more complicated.

Yang Qing quickly shifted her gaze.

Because all his pride vanishes the moment he sees Lin Feng.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Whenever he thought of Lin Feng's mockery, he felt an overwhelming sense of shame and humiliation.

"Pity!"

At this moment, Yang Qingtian still felt a great sense of regret.

Although he was still unsure whether Lin Feng had shut down the Chaotic Land, Yang Ningbing did not answer his question, but it was certain that this matter was related to Lin Feng.

Even if he didn't shut it down, he must have been involved.

At this time, people all over the country, and even the world, are discussing who shut down the chaotic place.
At this moment, Lin Feng was no longer just an invincible prodigy among his peers!
He is a hero with a glorious record!
If his surname were Yang, it would bring the Yang family's reputation to its peak.

You can gain many benefits.

Unfortunately, the child did not want to return to the family.

"He's just a genius, brother, is it really that big of a deal?"

Seeing Yang Qingtian looking at Lin Feng with a sigh, an old man beside him said something.

Yang Qingtian simply shook his head at his younger brother Yang Minglin's words without responding.

"Geniuses aren't as valuable these days," Yang Minglin said, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of sarcasm.

In his opinion, Lin Feng was overestimating himself.

Although talented, he doesn't know how to appreciate what he has.

It would be best if Lin Feng could return to the family, as this would be of great benefit to the Yang clan.

It's a pity they're not coming back, but it's not a big deal!

In the past, geniuses were indeed very valuable!

That is a guarantee of a family's strength and prosperity!

A genius who is unparalleled among his peers may even obtain the key, allowing his family to reach a new level.

But now, the Divine Martial Continent is about to invade, which is conservatively estimated to be in about ten years.

Developing a portal to another dimension requires a significant amount of time and resources; it's a high-return but long-term investment.

Ten years is too short a time to accumulate enough of life's essence.

Therefore, the key is not so precious to the family.

A genius who is invincible among his peers is naturally not that important.

Geniuses need time to grow; a genius who doesn't grow is nothing.

Many people believe that it is a great pity that Lin Feng and his generation of prodigies were so talented.

He was clearly a prodigy, capable of becoming an emperor, but he didn't have the time to grow up.

"maybe!"

Hearing his younger brother say this, Yang Qingtian did not refute it, but he felt somewhat better and seemed less heartbroken.
