Chapter 337: Chapter 268: Memories of Tomorrow

In the live broadcast, the Reincarnation Platform was a two-meter high square pedestal. The bottom of the pedestal was engraved with ancient and strange runes, within which a faint blood-red glow flickered, giving off a chilling and eerie aura.

Above the Reincarnation Platform hovered a giant, upright stone disc with a diameter of about five meters, its surface as smooth as a mirror, shimmering with a dim cold light.

At this moment, Lin Xing sat in front of the Reincarnation Platform, addressing the camera before him.

"... a memory related to the safety of the whole world."

But after he finished explaining the purpose of today’s broadcast, he didn’t start operating the Reincarnation Platform right away, instead announcing that he would officially begin the memory broadcast after an hour.

Then Lin Xing disappeared from in front of the camera, leaving behind countless viewers filled with anticipation, excitement, and curiosity.

Soon Lin Xing returned, and one could see that he held a caged mouse in his hand.

He placed the caged mouse on the Reincarnation Platform and then activated it.

The stone disc above began to rotate slowly, and the runes at the base of the pedestal flashed with a crimson glow.

In the next moment, scene after scene of light and shadow began to emerge on the mirror-like stone disc.

There were rows and rows of huge iron cages.

Inside the cages, one could see many giant-sized mice.

There were also several giants in lab coats standing around, some feeding the mice, some observing and recording, and others working on something at a nearby workstation.

The audience immediately realized they were seeing the world through the perspective of the mice.

"Is this the memory of the mouse?"

"Can memories really be projected like this? That’s not scientific, right?"

"This is Mirror World’s treasure, what are you talking about science for?"

"But this can also be faked, right? Just pre-record a video and project it."

Guessing, questioning, asking... the netizens began to express all kinds of thoughts in the live chat, but Lin Xing, as if he hadn’t seen any of it, didn’t respond at all. Instead, he just added a countdown to the official start of the live broadcast on the top right corner of the screen.

...

Hearing what Lin Xing said in the broadcast, the powerhouses within the manor were all stirred.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader commented unexpectedly, "Reincarnation Platform? A treasure that allows one to view memories?"

"What is Lin Xing planning to do? To publicly reveal his own memories?"

"Could it be that under pressure... he’s planning to inform the outside world about how he reached the pinnacle of the second inheritance in such a short time?"

Thinking of this, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader was surprised and curious. He never thought Lin Xing would make such a move and was increasingly looking forward to what Lin Xing would do after an hour.

He checked on various platforms using his mobile phone and found that this matter was indeed causing a hot debate in the real world.

After all, with the ongoing martial demonstrations, Lin Xing’s popularity had been rising steadily, and discussions about his rapid growth in strength had become the biggest topic on the internet.

Later, as more and more people called for Lin Xing to disclose the secrets behind his rapid increase in strength, all sorts of discussions, debates, quarrels, and flame wars swept across the real world.

Now, seeing that Lin Xing seemed about to reveal his memories, this instantly ignited the situation like fire to oil, causing an uproar.

Almost all netizens were guessing whether Lin Xing was going to disclose the secrets of his cultivation.

"Lin Xing has finally come around and is going to reveal his secrets?"

"This is truly a boon to humanity; such secrets should not be controlled by one person alone."

"Who knows if what he’s going to reveal is real or fake, maybe it’s just a pre-scripted and filmed video to fool the fans and make a big profit?"

All sorts of comments and speculations were spreading incessantly online.

And within the manor, Great Bright Buddha smiled faintly and remarked, "Who would have thought that these days, by continuously guiding public opinion and ramping up the heat, adding pressure to Lin Xing, he would end up utilizing that very heat for his own purposes."

Bai Mei expressed his doubts, "What exactly does he want to do? Is he really going to disclose how he managed to reach the peak of the second inheritance so quickly?"

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader, somewhat displeased, said, "All this mysterious act, just say what you want to say, why wait an hour?"

After arriving in the modern world, Great Bright Buddha continuously learned about the various knowledge of different realms, and after initiating livestreams to worship the Buddha and connecting to the Internet, his understanding of the modern world and its knowledge grew daily.

He analyzed, "One hour... It seems Lin Xing wants to attract enough attention before he officially plays the memory so that more people can see what he’s going to broadcast in real-time."

"In theory, even if he broadcast it live now, and it’s recorded and shared, the whole world would see it."

"Perhaps he’s worried that the content he’s about to release will be censored? So he wants to gather enough people to watch it in the first instance?"

Thinking about the secrets Lin Xing held, a hint of doubt also arose in Great Bright Buddha’s heart, "What exactly is Lin Xing planning to do?"

Listening to the Great Bright Buddha’s thorough analysis, Gu She Fairy from Spirit Treasure Sect felt a sense of hidden concern arise within.

And apart from her, the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect and Yun Hezi from Taihe Sect all showed worry on their faces.

As individuals who knew some of Lin Xing’s secrets, they were all concerned that Lin Xing’s live broadcast would expose critical information about him.

Especially regarding the future and the aspects of time reversal.

Although they were not certain that Lin Xing would do so, they did not want to take the risk.

The Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect said, "We can’t let Lin Xing live stream his own memories, we must stop him."

"Why?" asked the Divine Dragon Gang Leader. "Even if he really releases the secrets to his cultivation, it might not necessarily be a bad thing."

Beside them, Bai Mei pondered in silence, thinking about whether Lin Xing would expose the secret treasures of the Emei Sect Leader.

The Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect declared resolutely, "If he really wants to expose the secrets of his rapid cultivation, do you think it’s really beneficial for us to let the people of today’s world know about it? If more people from the present world cultivate as fast as Lin Xing, what would be left for us?"

But the rationale given by him sounded somewhat far-fetched to the Divine Dragon Gang Leader, especially given the intense demeanor of the other party, which gave the Gang Leader a sense that something was being concealed.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader was already very curious about why the forces from Zhou Tian Sect, Taihe Sect, Spirit Treasure Sect, Xingxiao Sect, and Da Guangming Temple had formed an alliance to put pressure on Lin Xing.

And now, he felt even more that this group was hiding some crucial intel.

Bai Mei, witnessing the uncompromising stance of the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect, similarly sensed this feeling.

"It’s indeed imperative not to let the situation spiral out of control," said Yun Hezi from Taihe Sect, dispassionately. "Where is he? I think we should just capture him."

"In his heart, Gu She Fairy mused, "Lin Xing has gone too far this time, and even I can’t easily save him now. We have to detain him first, then look for an opportunity later."

She spoke up, "Take action directly? What’s the reason?"

The Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect replied, "This Reincarnation Platform is mine; he stole my Reincarnation Platform, and I have all the evidence. It’s entirely reasonable for us to capture him for questioning."

Turning to the Great Bright Buddha, he continued, "First, contact White Eagle Country and have them shut down Lin Xing’s live stream."

The Great Bright Buddha shook his head, "That platform isn’t under White Eagle Country’s jurisdiction, and we can’t just shut it down. Besides, in White Eagle Country, whether it’s the general public or those in the upper-middle ranks, everyone is very interested in the memory Lin Xing is about to live stream. It can’t be closed."

He sighed, "The hype around this matter is too intense."

The Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect inwardly sighed, not expecting the hype they had been building to pressure Lin Xing to now obstruct their efforts.

And there were Bai Mei and Divine Dragon Gang Leader, whose attitudes he could sense were somewhere between aloof and involved.

"Just this single live stream announcement has not only turned us passive but also made Emei and Divine Dragon Gang ambivalent."

At that moment he felt as if he had painstakingly prepared a banquet to slowly enjoy, only for Lin Xing to suddenly flip the table.

With that in mind, the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect coldly said, "Then let’s just get ready to take action; find him first, stop the live stream, and we can talk about other things later."

As their forces began to mobilize and search for Lin Xing’s whereabouts...

As time passed, the fervor for the event kept skyrocketing, and the numbers in the live stream room climbed steadily.

Watching the comments refresh like a waterfall, the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect’s expression turned even uglier, "Have we not found Lin Xing yet?"

The Great Bright Buddha, sensing the tendrils of dark energy emanating from the surrounding lines, said, "He’s probably not in New Ke City anymore, he could’ve already returned to Xia Country."

"Xia Country..." mused the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect, puzzled. "Speaking of which, why isn’t Xia Country stopping Lin Xing? Just letting him live stream his secrets like that, watching him make a mess of things?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer his questions.

As the countdown for the live stream continued, second by second.

After attempts to track him down, contact White Eagle Country, contact Xia Country, contact Lin Xing, and so on, there was still no progress in the matter.

With less than a minute left on the countdown clock, the Second Elder of Zhou Tian Sect clenched his teeth and said, "I want to see exactly what you’re up to."

Amidst the anticipation of thousands, Lin Xing finally stepped onto the Reincarnation Platform.

With the rotation of the Reincarnation Platform, Lin Xing slowly said, "This is a memory of the future, a memory of New Ke City’s tomorrow."

As billions watched, the Reincarnation Platform’s stone disk flickered with light and shadow, and gradually, the nightscape of New Ke City began to appear.

But this nightscape was completely different from what everyone remembered.

The owner of the memory seemed to be standing on the rooftop of a building.

As he looked up at the sky, he saw roiling black clouds covering the entire sky, blocking out all starlight and moonlight with currents black as ink, as if harboring endless darkness.

Then his gaze lowered to the street below, revealing the street in utter chaos under the shadow of the black clouds.

Strange and grotesque creatures, like those from a horror film, roamed the streets, preying on pedestrians.

Further down the streets, there were screams, explosions, and the sounds of police and fire engines piercing through the night.

Then the person whose eyes we see through leapt to another building.

As the point of view continued moving through the city, more and more monsters were seen spreading destruction across New Ke City, the entire city seemed to be facing an apocalypse.

As the live stream showed these images, many viewers were still taking their time watching, but many netizens immediately voiced their dissatisfaction.

"Is this a movie?"

"What the hell is this mess?"

"I waited an hour just to watch your CG animation?"

"And you talk about tomorrow’s memory; does Lin Xing mean New Ke City will become like this tomorrow?"
