I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

"this......"

“That’s a good option,” Li Lin interrupted Kiyoakiin Ena’s statement. “I can give you two choices.”

"Please enlighten me," Liliana said, bowing slightly to Li Lin.

"Do you want to go out and see the world as an independent sword fairy, or do you want to become part of someone's harem, vying for a man's favor and flattery?"

Li Lin interrupted Liliana, who was about to say something: "You can think about it slowly."

“Then we’ll need quite some time.” Erica glanced at Liliana, whose face was grim. The strange phenomena they had created would soon spread throughout the world. In any case, the battle between Li Lin and Luo Hao was imminent.

Erica is usually patient, but not now.

"So let me tell you how good you are a few times, you're just being unreasonable."

Li Lin angrily slapped Qingqiuyuan Hui's thigh in frustration—slapping his own sore spot.

"Sometimes things aren't that difficult at all."

Li Lin walked towards the window, climbing higher and higher in the biting night wind until he reached the top of the building, overlooking the entire Star City.

In that instant, all the Singaporeans who were still celebrating looked up at the man standing on the top of the building.

The neon lights and urban fog still swirled endlessly, but the city seemed to be shrouded in a deathly silence.

Finally, someone, whose identity is unknown, was the first to shout "Donghuang".

Then, the passionate shouts merged into a vast ocean.

"Donghuang, Donghuang, Donghuang!"

"Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor!"

"Great Donghuang!"

Without suffering, one cannot know joy; without hell, one cannot know heaven.

The suffering sown by Marquis Voban rebounded in full force at this moment, becoming fertile soil for Li Lin's vigorous growth.

"quiet."

Li Lin extended his palm.

In an instant, the entire country fell silent, and the people silently shed tears, gazing at Li Lin with tearful eyes.

Li Lin didn't speak; he just looked at these people, and the atmosphere grew heavier with each passing second.

The time has come; the darkest hour is the dawn before sunrise.

Then, Li Lin spoke.

His voice fell from the sky like thunder, but it wasn't deafening; it seemed to land in everyone's heart.

"Did you see that?"

He was asking.

"Did you see my battle with Marquis Voban? Did you see my power?"

Then, the entire world surged and roared once more, shaking heaven and earth.

Singaporeans, who used to be so mild-mannered that even speaking loudly was illegal, now seem to have completely broken free of their constraints. Even government officials, the military and police who are supposed to maintain order, and those self-proclaimed wealthy elites are roaring and shouting.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! We saw His Majesty the Eastern Emperor insult and kill that Wolf King! His Majesty the Eastern Emperor is now invincible!"

"Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"

In the next instant, Li Lin's voice drowned out everyone else's.

"Do you yearn to become strong? I have. Because I have witnessed the arrival of disobedient gods, destroying the fertile land of mankind, so I pursue power, and desire has changed me."

Li Lin's gaze swept over everyone.

"But even the strong cannot protect each and every one of you. The weak will always be bullied and slaughtered!"

"Therefore, I hereby declare to the world!"

"From this day forward, I will rebuild a new empire here, and I, Li Lin, will abolish all democracy and ridiculous freedom!"

"From this moment on, you are subjects of my Great Tang Dynasty, and everything belongs to me, the Eastern Emperor! No matter how foolish or useless you are, I will protect you and bless you!"

"So if you have any complaints or doubts, then fucking get out of my Great Tang Dynasty—go to the free world ravaged by god-killers and disobedient gods."

"And I will crush anything that tries to harm you, to take your lives, whether it is a disobedient god or the fucking Last King!"

"In my empire, you will no longer need to worry about war or coups. All you will need to do is rely on your wisdom to fight for everything you want. In my country, Li Lin, everything is determined by the ability of the people."

“Because…” Li Lin stood in the wind, stepping through the void, with the dawn breaking behind him from the horizon.

I will make my voice resound throughout the world; there is no need for me to remain silent.

I will ignite the lightning; why should I wander long?!

Li Lin spread his arms wide, his gaze passing over the crowd and the surging sea, as if someone was waiting for him in his distant homeland, smiling at him.

The Eastern Emperor lowered his eyes, gazing at the excited masses, and delivered his final eulogy for this old era.

Similarly, it is also the first chime of a new era.

"Because I am supreme wisdom."

Li Lin smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing to the ground.

"I am your god!"

Damn it, I need to take an emergency leave.

After I got up and went out, my mom suddenly told me to get a haircut. I was wondering what was going on when she told me that there would be a family gathering from this afternoon to the evening. I really couldn't hold back anymore.

This happened without warning, making my already limited time even more precious. So, I urgently took leave, which I find a bit absurd.

The problem is that this gathering is meaningless, but I can't skip it, and I have to see people I hate... It's the kind of thing that really gets to me.

Anyway, I'm numb, I'm going to get a haircut first.

362 Luo Hao's Arrival

"So handsome."

A voice murmured, fading into the distance at the edge of the clouds with the echo of the tide.

In the vast expanse of the South China Sea, Nian gazed at the rising sun in the distance, listening to what seemed like a proclamation in his ear, and smiled contentedly.

"If he had come into this world a thousand years ago, no, two thousand years ago, he would surely have made this hopeless world a better place."

Beneath her lay a colossal city—bronze walls rising from the seabed, blending seamlessly with the color of the rocks. The heavy metal silently resisted the ocean, and thirty-three thousand armored soldiers stood atop the city gates, watching the vast sea day and night. Twelve towering buildings stood in the clouds, the clanging of metal fading into the ocean tides.

This city has no name; it is still very young.

Everyone knows that there was no city here originally, until a dragon descended from the sky, bringing lightning and fire from the clouds, and overnight it built this city from the seabed.

"Wow, that's spectacular!"

Li An'an squatted on the edge of the tower, also watching the surging tide. She could not see the figure making a passionate oath under the sun, but she could see the giant warships stretching to the sky and the earth on the other side.

The mighty fleet hoisted its white sails, the decks were deserted, and the vermilion treasure ships were lined up one after another. On the largest ship in the center, two enormous golden figures looked out over the distance.

"Sister Nian, what should we do?"

"Of course it's just cold." Nian stretched, reached out and patted Li An'an's head, messing up her jet-black hair. "You guys can't beat that crazy woman, can you?"

“Yeah, that’s true.” Li An’an pouted.

There was no other way; these were originally disgruntled people who had fled from the mainland to the islands of Southeast Asia after being dissatisfied with Luo Hao's rule.

In the past, when there were still people who dared to raise their flags and shout, they could only be considered deserters; but now, in a time of silence, they have become the last silent resistance—as long as there is one island's survivor, it means that the fate of the homeland has not been extinguished, and the flame still flickers.

Li An'an's surname isn't actually Li; she doesn't even have a surname—those of them who were protected by the city don't have surnames, just like the city itself.

When they left the mainland, they all left their surnames. As a price for their exile, the Five Sacred Mountains Sect allowed them to leave and decreed that they must never set foot on the land again.

Luo Hao wouldn't care about their lives or deaths, but many more people would want to use this opportunity to gain credit. Thus, "bandit suppression" became a pretext for major martial arts families across the continent to compete with their younger generation, and also a pretext for various warlords to raise funds.

She didn't have the idea of ​​saving the world, but her two victories with Luo Hao gave these survivors something that could be called hope.

For an immortal being like Nian, the worship or slander of mortal beings is irrelevant. No matter how much glory they gild him in their imagination, it has nothing to do with Nian.

What delighted her was seeing the progress of civilization and seeing those little people doing their best to live.

This is true in Terra, it is true in Mansour, and it is true here.

So in that year, he bestowed the surname Li Lin upon this girl, so that she could teach the remaining people in his place, instructing them in casting, smelting, and the skills of daily life.

"So, let them fight."

He leaned against the railing.

"No secret can be kept forever. Even an awl hidden in a bag will eventually show its head. I've had that experience before, so it's impossible to hide your talents forever. Unlike my silly little sister."

She turned around, smiled at the girl in front of her, and said, "The sun rises every day, but the sky can't always be covered with dark clouds. So... if you always try to prevent people on the ground from seeing your brilliance, it will be a very difficult thing, even foolish."

"You mean you are the sun?" Li An'an rolled her eyes.
