Chapter 368: Chapter 299: Noisy World

"What is Lin Xing trying to do?" The Divine Dragon Gang Leader watched the scene with some astonishment. "Is he going to declare war on the White Eagle Country?"

Yun Hezi from the Taihe Sect had been quiet since he awoke, but now he couldn’t help but speak up while looking at the intelligence on Lin Xing:

"Even if he possesses unparalleled divine skills, to think of taking on a present-day superpower like the White Eagle Country single-handedly... that’s just insanity."

"Moreover, no matter the outcome, the current world situation is likely to become chaotic. What good would that do for him?"

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader laughed and said, "Then do you think he’s not crazy right now?"

He glanced at Yun Hezi, who had grown flesh wings all over his body, and said half-mockingly, "I think this kid is deranged; perhaps he has already gone mad. Who can predict what a madman will do?"

Yun Hezi frowned and murmured, "Gone mad..."

While the two spoke, Gu She Fairy on the side had remained silent all along.

She was incessantly collecting information on her cell phone, seemingly trying to understand the current situation.

A moment later, with her tapping, the screen in front of her flashed slightly and displayed an image.

Seeing the content of the footage, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader exclaimed in surprise, "Is this... Lin Xing?"

In the video, Lin Xing stood atop the head of a giant metal humanoid, continually moving towards the opposite shore of the great sea.

Right then, several missiles whistled down from the sky.

Yet, before the missiles exploded in front of Lin Xing, they disintegrated in an instant, turned into a shower of metal parts that fell into the sea.

Gu She Fairy also watched the video, commenting, "This is a live broadcast. Lin Xing is live streaming his journey to the White Eagle Country."

"Right now, everyone in the present world can watch him steadily approaching the White Eagle Country."

"Judging by his current speed, he will land in the White Eagle Country in no more than seven hours."

...

As Lin Xing reappeared, the whole present world’s internet was already in an uproar.

No one would have thought that after the martial arts finals, one event after another would follow, causing such impact on the entire world.

Lin Xing’s reputation, too, underwent a drastic change with his fierce fight against Xingxiao.

"According to local residents, Lin Xing reconstituted their bodies as weapons to battle Xingxiao."

"Too cruel, too abhorrent, this is practically the act of a devil!"

"But it’s said that before Lin Xing left, he reconstituted their bodies not only healing everyone’s ailments but also making them young again."

"God, this is a miracle!"

"But after the reconstitution, everyone took on the appearance of Lin Xing."

"This is madness, Lin Xing is committing a terrorist attack!"

"You should go check the notice Lin Xing posted on his social media account. He said that after this incident, he will restore everyone’s bodies."

"Ah? They can be restored?"

"Can he tweak my face and body a bit too?"

"Doesn’t that mean Lin Xing could arbitrarily turn men into women, women into men..."

As those saved by Lin Xing started appearing one after another online to present their stories, and people saw their identical faces and healthy—even strong—bodies, the internet exploded.

Opinions on Lin Xing’s actions polarized instantly.

Some believed that what Lin Xing did was a serious breach of law, a perverse act against human ethics.

Others thought that as long as Lin Xing was willing to help the survivors restore their appearance, or even if he was willing to enhance their physique and looks, it would be an incredibly noble act.

Many people even came to Lin Xing’s social media account to desperately plead for a transformation from him.

"God Lin, can you change me to look like this face and body? ’View Image’"

"Brother Xing, can you turn me into a woman? If it works, I’ll let you enjoy it first."

"This is my cat, could you please change her? ’View Image’"

"Is it possible with hands? Go ahead and take my roommate’s hand to modify it."

As the survivors’ messages continuously spread, Jing Shiyu watched the online data fluctuate and soon realized that Lin Xing’s followers were not dwindling; in fact, they were soaring at an incredible rate.

Also, there were massive amounts of netizens leaving messages on Lin Xing’s account, creating an explosive aura of popularity.

Jing Shiyu thought to herself, "With just the ability to reconstitute the human body, Lin Xing has enough to become a figure heatedly pursued by countless people around the world from now on."

"Pity I’m still only the second inheritor. If I was the Third Inheritor Saintess, assisting Lin Xing to preach could have greatly increased my cultivation."

However, everything took yet another dramatic turn when Lin Xing started his live broadcast.

When countless people watched the mountainous metal giant beneath Lin Xing’s feet, watched him get closer and closer to the White Eagle Country, watched the White Eagle Country’s attempts to stop him fail time and again:

Billions of people in the present world began to realize that the world was about to undergo some significant change, yet no one knew where this change would lead.

Some worried that a fierce confrontation between Lin Xing and the White Eagle Country would result in severe casualties and disrupt the peaceful state of affairs among countries around the world.

Others feared the battle between Lin Xing and the White Eagle Country would become a protracted slugfest, with Lin Xing using his powerful mobility and destructive force to launch attacks all over the White Eagle Country, turning the whole nation into hell.

Yet, according to Lin Xing’s past actions, some thought he might not actually wage war against the White Eagle Country; perhaps he was just using threats to make demands.

Many citizens of the White Eagle Country have already begun to speculate about Lin Xing’s direction of advance. Many residents of related cities are hurrying to evacuate, and a large number of private planes belonging to the wealthy have taken to the skies, decisively leaving the White Eagle Country.

Additionally, numerous countries are calling for both Lin Xing and the White Eagle Country to remain calm and to resolve their disputes through peaceful means.

However, no matter how anyone tries to contact Lin Xing or communicate with him... they all fail.

Lin Xing appears to have refused anyone’s attempt to communicate, proceeding with a determined, unwavering stance, steadily advancing toward the White Eagle Country.

As a result of Lin Xing’s actions, stock prices, energy, raw materials, food... virtually every market experienced severe fluctuations.

After a series of major events, up to this moment, no one seems to care much about Lin Xing’s talents or his time-reversing abilities.

Everyone is watching Lin Xing’s live broadcast, watching him get closer and closer to the White Eagle Country, helplessly watching the whole world move in a direction they can no longer control.

Over at Jing Shiyu’s end, her doorstep had been worn down by countless visitors, and she was answering phone call after phone call with a look of helplessness.

All she could do was to reassure them over and over, "Don’t worry, Lin Xing has no intention of going to all-out war with the White Eagle Country."

"He already said, didn’t he? He will not kill any civilians or soldiers."

"As long as the White Eagle Country is willing to hand over the leadership corrupted by Xingxiao and Taiching, Lin Xing can immediately stop his actions."

...

Just as the whole world was in tumult,

thousands of kilometers to the east of the White Eagle Country, on an island, there was a sense of serene calm.

And right in the center of this tranquil island,

Tian Jizi stood on a cliff, looking at the girl in black before him and asked, "Did you purposely lure me out here because of Lin Xing?"

"Do you know Lin Xing is now completely out of control? You’ve ruined my grand plans!"

"Heaven knows what kind of mess he will make with the White Eagle Country next!"

Faced with Tian Jizi’s rebuke, the girl in black maintained a calm demeanor. She simply stated, "If Lin Xing wants to go mad, then let him have his fill. Can the current world be any more chaotic than ours?"

"Tian Jizi, you want to revive the evil energy in the present world, and we want to infuse the evil energy of Mirror World into the current world, but that doesn’t mean we stand on the same ground."

"You should understand the difference very well."

"Leaving aside your earlier arrangements in New Ke City," Tian Jizi sneered, "as for the matter of Lin Xing, you actually came in person to lead me away. Have you already collaborated with Xingxiao this time?"

The girl in black said, "As long as Lin Xing exists, he can always prevent us from infusing the evil energy into the present world."

"The failure in New Ke City further proves this point."

The girl in black sighed, "But Lin Xing himself can’t be truly killed or controlled."

"Therefore, the only way might just be to take his abilities."

"To take away his time-reversing ability."

"Then all the past aberrations would not have occurred."

"Even the event of the present world’s evil energy entering the Mirror World could be reversed."

"History would be completely changed."

Tian Jizi said indifferently, "Take away Lin Xing’s abilities? Easier said than done. You have already seen Xingxiao’s failure. Even he, who has been reborn countless times and made numerous attempts, still failed..."

At that moment, a man emerged from the side, "This time, by supporting Xingxiao, we finally confirmed a set of top-secret information from him."

Seeing the man’s appearance, Tian Jizi’s expression changed slightly, "Huang Feng?"

The man known as Huang Feng continued, "Xingxiao may have failed, but he ultimately did something beneficial by forcing Lin Xing onto the path of the Independent Immortal."

"Now that Lin Xing has chosen the inheritance of an Independent Immortal for a moment of combat power, his future strength is not a threat."

"What remains challenging is only his abilities."

"At the moment of the world’s anomaly, Lin Xing collapsed because he could not bear the burden of his powers."

"Thus, a part of his powers stayed in his own body, a part went into Xingxiao’s body ten years ago, and another part... went to someone a hundred years ago."

"And this ultimately led to that person ascending to immortality."

...

In the northern part of the White Eagle Country,

Tianlian from Shi Lin Temple slowly emerged from a forest and arrived at a nearby town.

At the moment when Xingxiao ambushed Lin Xing, Tianlian was on her way to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control but was intercepted by the Great Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect.

Somehow, the other party had developed a strong resistance to the Buddhist Law of Shi Lin Temple, dragging Tianlian into a hard struggle.

After fighting intensely for more than two days, only after the news came that Lin Xing had defeated Xingxiao did the Zhou Tian Sect Great Elder stop and leave.

At this moment, Tianlian watched Lin Xing’s live broadcast with a complex expression.

She thought to herself, "Lin Xing’s current state... seems to be deeply influenced by his innate nature."

"But..."

As she watched the live broadcast, a thought suddenly struck her, "Previously, when Lin Xing fought with Xingxiao and the others, it was impossible to see him in the video."

"That’s because after dissolving his corpse, only Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit remained."

"So why can he now be seen in the live broadcast again?"
