There's quite a time difference between the Qingling World and Earth, almost fifteen times.
While cultivating in the Qingling World, Lin Qianxuan gradually experienced that feeling of timelessness in the mountains.
Of course, he would still take time to return to Earth to see what was happening.
Now, he already has a deep connection with both worlds and can travel back and forth at will.
The Dragon Pearl is gradually being refined in the True Flame, and the growth of cultivation is becoming increasingly rapid.
....
Time arrived at April 18th on Earth.
Pinghai Battle Zone.
Lin Qianxuan had just returned from the Qingling World.
Now, his cultivation should be at the Peak of the Middle Dao Realm, just a step away from the Upper Dao Realm.
However, give him two or three more months, and he should be able to completely refine the Dragon Pearl and reach the level of the Upper Dao Realm.
Today he came to Pinghai simply because according to the future simulated by the game, he would obtain an item here from those lizard people's World of Annihilation, thereby entering their world.
"Rare guest!" Jerome said to Lin Qianxuan in clumsy Xuan Country language.
Now, Pinghai is entirely under his responsibility.
Unless there's a particularly large-scale invasion event, Gatling won't come.
"Anything special happening recently?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"All the entrances of those lizard people have been blocked by you, and the brothers are quite idle. It's been a long time since we've seen a large-scale invasion. If there are any, it's just two or three small guys, not even B Level, taken away with a single Enchanted Bullet," Jerome said.
Lin Qianxuan chatted with him for a couple of sentences to confirm the situation was stable, and he nodded slightly.
Although he didn't have the same strength as the former Dragon Head, who could guard Earth alone, preventing invasions from all worlds, clearing some enemies that passed through the World Array was still quite easy.
With him around, the other Town Guardians could relax a lot, not needing to be stationed in one battle zone for long periods.
After chatting with Jerome for some time, suddenly, Lin Qianxuan's Divine Thought detected an item traversing into the battle zone.
Jerome's smart watch also had feedback about spatial reactions, just when he wanted to notify others to handle it, Lin Qianxuan stopped him.
"Leave it to me. That's what I came here for," Lin Qianxuan said.
As his voice fell, Lin Qianxuan had already appeared at the location of that traversing item.
On the sea surface, a small flower woven from blue-gray metal flakes floated, seemingly carrying intense belief.
It's unknown why it would cross over here.
Lin Qianxuan looked at it, traces of fate flashed in his eyes.
He saw a small lizard girl who was weaving metal flowers, still waiting for their hero Pamos to return and bring back food, bring back hope.
Unfortunately, Pamos had already taken his own life, and they could never truly succeed in invading Earth.
Lin Qianxuan bent down, holding this small flower in his palm.
The next moment, he felt a pulling force from another world.
Without resisting, Lin Qianxuan wanted to see what the world of the lizard people was like.
He also wanted to understand the meaning behind their initiation of this invasion war.
-----------------
In the gray world, Lin Qianxuan's figure appeared.
Everywhere was a desert, dust, yet even storms were scarce, the entire space filled with cold, with no vitality at all.
Lin Qianxuan's Divine Thought swept out, easily covering the whole world.
It wasn't much bigger than Earth.
At the center of the world was a core emitting light and heat.
However, unknown from when it had started to gradually extinguish.
During its extinguishment, innumerable living creatures perished, plants no longer grew, and now, in this world, a group of lizard people still lived underground.
Their numbers were not many either.
No more than ten million.
Their food was some glowing fungus-like food, underground near the World Core, still somewhat warm, with some energy emitted by the World Core, barely allowing these things to grow.
And the lizard people wouldn't freeze to death.
Minds set, Lin Qianxuan appeared in the lizard people's underground city.
A layer of illusory light surrounded him, at this moment, in the eyes of other lizard people, he seemed like one of them.
In the dark corner illuminated by the dim light of the World Core's remnants, a slightly frail lizard girl reached out to flatten a can-like creation, then just like that tore it apart with bare claws, bit by bit weaving it into flowers.
These were flowers her parents had described to her.
Since birth, she had never seen real flowers.
In this world's current situation, few could appreciate beauty, and not many lizard people cared about it anymore.
"What is this?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"Qingju Flower, a flower symbolizing hope," the girl said.
"Very beautiful, what's your name?" Lin Qianxuan nodded and said.
"Fudoria," Fudoria said.
She was still concentrating on weaving her flower.
Even though there were already tens of thousands of such flowers behind her, it was the same.
Lin Qianxuan asked himself if he was not someone prone to sentimentality.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself, if they were in the same predicament, and before them, a vibrant world appeared, what would they choose?
Would it also be an invasion?
Perhaps more civilized, opting for trade.
But that wouldn't solve the urgent need.
They couldn't produce enough resources to exchange.
After all, they were almost dying themselves.
Moreover, who could guarantee others would trade with you?
If you have something good, and are in a weak position, more likely, it would be plundered.
Negotiating through the display of martial power, hoping for a place to survive?
Given the current situation on Earth, it's unlikely they would believe it's merely for survival.
Even if they did believe it, if something went wrong, who would take responsibility?
Furthermore, this is setting a trap for oneself, and no one would agree to it.
Lin Qianxuan pondered for a while but couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.
Things on Earth were already in chaos, and even if there were truly altruistic intentions, this is not the time to add trouble to oneself.
The survival problem for the lizardmen is urgent, and they must struggle to find a way out.
So, this battle inexplicably began.
Sometimes, as Human Dao said, there is no such thing as justice or evil in wars between each other; it's just a matter of different positions and choices.
Whether for survival or seeking further space.
"Fudoria, can this flower be given to me?" Lin Qianxuan asked, holding a flower filled with conviction.
"Yes." Fudoria nodded with a smile and said, "I have many more here, do you want more, Uncle? I can give you a little extra!"
Few appreciated her flowers, so she was delighted that someone now liked them.
"No, one is enough." Lin Qianxuan nodded.
After speaking, he turned and left, heading towards the location of the World Core.
Before long, he arrived at the location of the World Core.
"I hope my decision won't cause trouble for Earth's future....." Lin Qianxuan murmured.
As he spoke, he slowly extended his hand.
In an instant, endless True Flame surged out, rapidly enveloping and igniting the entire World Core in a short time.
Scarlet light illuminated the entire world, transforming countless materials through the True Flame, creating a new World Core.
Warm, vibrant energy blossomed, enveloping the entire World of Annihilation.
"The World Core has reignited?"
"We have hope!!"
"Celestial God bless us!!"
.....
Countless voices of joy echoed, many people weeping with excitement.
Lin Qianxuan withdrew his hand.
Relying on the infinite energy of the [Endless Divine Sea], with his current cultivation, even creating a planet filled with various materials from thin air was simple.
He could have done more, but he stopped there.
Lin Qianxuan was ultimately cautious.
With differing positions, he worried about bringing too much trouble to Earth's future.
The rest, let them create their own path.
This newborn World Core, if not overexploited, should last for hundreds of thousands of years.
Lin Qianxuan looked back at the hopeful faces of this world and nodded slightly.
"Let's leave it at that. I hope we won't be adversaries in the future; otherwise, I can only turn from a world-saving deity into a world-destroying Evil God."
As he spoke, Lin Qianxuan inscribed a rule message within the World Core, ensuring any being benefiting from it would know this information.
It stated that they must not invade Earth or oppose Earthlings, or else the world would be directly destroyed!
Consider yourselves warned!
He did not possess the kind of boundless love that Dragon Head did.
If it had been him in Dragon Head's position back then, many worlds might have been destroyed, not just repelling invasions.
From start to finish, Lin Qianxuan only acknowledged his own little patch of Earth.
Narrowing down further, he only recognized Xuan Country as his nation.
And if necessary, he could further shrink his scope of recognition!
So he knew well he was not suited to be a second Dragon Head.
He is Lin Qianxuan, and only Lin Qianxuan.
-----------------
Earth.
Lin Qianxuan took a trip to the lizardmen's world and then returned, not wasting much time at all.
When he returned to the Dragon Palace, it was still afternoon, and Zhang Juan happened to be back as well.
She had been holding back for some time and naturally wouldn't miss the chance to be alone.
"Is the matter with the Supreme Star dealt with?" Lin Qianxuan asked, embracing Zhang Juan.
"Almost." Zhang Juan nodded and said, "As long as we suppress the upper echelons, there aren't as many problems below."
Lin Qianxuan nodded slightly. After all, it's a world where individual combat value can cause great damage to an entire civilization, unlike a normal society.
The idea of respecting power was deeply ingrained in them, or else the Supreme War wouldn't have been enforced.
As long as Zhang Juan had enough combat value to suppress everything, the civilization wouldn't waste too much internally.
"Another round!" Zhang Juan, after resting for a while, said again.
"Okay!" Lin Qianxuan succinctly replied.
This battle lasted until dawn when they finally paused.
Not because they couldn't continue, but because they had both found enough comfort.
Simply put, they were in Wise Mode.
Lin Qianxuan blinked his eyes; would this state be suitable for playing games?
In Wise Mode, he shouldn't have too many distractions, should he?
Maybe he could succeed?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but get up!
"What are you doing?" Zhang Juan looked at Lin Qianxuan, who got out of bed, and asked in confusion.
"Playing games." Lin Qianxuan replied with a smile.
