Chapter 32 Mending the Sky? It's just a matter of eating an apple!
Lin Fan's "preparation" was unbelievably simple.
He went back inside and changed into clean clothes. It wasn't some kind of otherworldly robe; he was just wearing a pure white tracksuit and soft-soled sneakers.
After he finished, he strolled to the kitchen, grabbed an apple, and started crunching on it as he walked out into the yard.
His leisurely demeanor made him look less like someone going to mend the heavens and save the world and more like an old man taking a stroll in the park downstairs.
In the courtyard, Xuan Chengzi, Li Zhenguo, and Fang Qingxue stood straight like three wooden stakes, their eyes fixed on him, their muscles tense with tension.
"Sir, you... this is all you're wearing?" Li Zhenguo's eyes twitched uncontrollably as he looked at Lin Fan's attire.
He had imagined countless versions.
When a peerless master emerges from seclusion, he must bathe and burn incense, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and at the very least, bring out several radiant divine weapons and magical artifacts, making a spectacular display.
But what I'm seeing now...
Isn't this a bit too much like "going downstairs to buy groceries"?
"Otherwise what?" Lin Fan took a big bite of apple, his cheeks bulging, and said indistinctly, "I can't possibly kneel and kowtow three times and report to the Jade Emperor, can I? He's so busy with his affairs of state, he doesn't have time to deal with me."
Li Zhenguo was so choked by one sentence that he almost fainted.
Xuan Chengzi also looked hesitant, wanting to say something but holding back. He wanted to say that the Scar of Heaven was no small matter, and the evil spirits from beyond the realm were even more ferocious and monstrous, so they should not be taken lightly.
But the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
Talking to this guy about "letting your guard down"?
Do I deserve it?
Does a deity walking among humans need a mortal, who is not even an ant, to remind him?
"Sir, is there anything we need to prepare? For example... evacuating the city below?" Fang Qingxue was the most pragmatic and got straight to the point.
"No need, it won't cause much of a commotion." Lin Fan waved his hand. "Just keep an eye on the house and make sure no one tramples my precious flowers and plants in the yard. That's more important than anything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure blurred.
The person vanished into thin air, right under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.
There were no fluctuations of magical power, and no ripples in space.
It came abruptly and left abruptly, as clean as a phantom that had never existed.
"What... what kind of supreme divine power is this?" Li Zhenguo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Xuan Chengzi's body trembled violently, and he squeezed out a few dry words, filled with boundless horror:
"Shrinking the earth to an inch!"
"It's a realm that only immortals can tread! A single step can cover ten thousand miles, turning mountains and rivers upside down! Sir... he really is..."
He dared not think any further.
With each additional guess, the awe and reverence for this being in my heart grew heavier.
All he knew was that his understanding of the word "powerful" had once again been shattered.
……
At this moment, 10,000 meters above the capital city.
Lin Fan's figure appeared out of thin air.
The city beneath our feet has been shrunk to an exquisite sand table, while terrifying gales capable of twisting fighter jets into pretzel shapes surround us.
But once these violent gales get within three feet of him, they become as docile as wild horses encountering a true dragon, instantly transforming into a gentle breeze.
Lin Fan hovered on the clouds, finished the last bite of the apple, and casually tossed the core downwards.
The fruit pit fell, but before it reached halfway, it silently disintegrated in mid-air, transforming into a wisp of the purest spiritual energy that dissipated into the world.
"Tsk, the air quality is really bad."
Lin Fan wrinkled his nose, sniffing the foul odor emanating from the black crack, his face full of disgust.
High above, the crack was a hundred times more terrifying than when viewed from the ground.
It is a huge gash that stretches across the sky for kilometers, and its edges are still breaking down and expanding.
Countless viscous black liquids seeped and dripped from the cracks, bursting in the air and turning into wisps of black mist, which then coalesced into various indescribable monsters.
Some resemble octopuses, their tentacles writhing wildly; others are shaped like giant bats, but without facial features, only a gaping maw that stretches to the base of the ears; and many more are clumps of writhing, shapeless rotten flesh, emitting a stench that can rot even the soul.
These are the "extraterrestrial evil spirits".
An aggregate of pure negative energy and chaotic rules.
Their sole instinct upon arriving in this world is to devour all life.
Below the rift, tens of thousands of evil monsters have gathered into a dark cloud that blots out the sky, slowly and steadily pressing down on the city below.
Once shrouded in this dark cloud, a city of ten million people will be turned into a dead zone within moments.
Such apocalyptic scenes are enough to instantly break even the most resolute person.
But in Lin Fan's eyes...
"It's really ugly." He stroked his chin and commented seriously, "It has absolutely no sense of design, even worse than the special effects models in a third-rate horror movie. This is something else, and it deserves to be called 'The Great Calamity'?"
He even felt a little disappointed.
I thought I'd see Godzilla fighting a giant machine or something, but it turned out to be a bunch of slugs that didn't even have a fixed shape.
"Forget it, let's finish this quickly and get off work early."
"My tea trees are still waiting for me to transplant them."
Lin Fan stretched, and his joints cracked with a series of crisp popping sounds, like popping beans.
He decided not to waste another second.
There were no earth-shattering punches or devastating magical weapons.
He simply raised his right hand.
Spread your five fingers.
In an instant, the world fell silent.
The howling wind, the clamor of the city, the shrill cries of evil spirits... all sounds were erased from this space and time.
An invisible, supreme, and indescribable will, originating from Lin Fan, reigned supreme over the heavens within a radius of a hundred miles!
Under this will, space froze and time stood still.
The black sea of clouds, composed of countless evil spirits, froze in that instant.
All the monsters' menacing postures were eternally sealed in this moment, like mosquitoes trapped in eternal ice.
Their chaotic and violent consciousness, upon contact with Lin Fan's will, was like snow meeting boiling oil, instantly boiling and evaporating without a trace.
"Um?"
As if sensing something, Lin Fan's gaze pierced through the evil clouds and stared directly into the deepest part of the spatial rift.
Beyond the rift lies a chaotic, dark, and destructive alternate dimension.
There, several terrifying beings, whose auras were billions of times stronger than these cannon fodder, were peering greedily at this new world through the cracks.
When Lin Fan's will swept over them, those terrifying beings visibly paused.
The next second, a massive force, filled with savagery, fury, and provocation, crossed over from another dimension!
That thought transformed in Lin Fan's mind into a gigantic demonic shadow covered in eyes and tentacles, emitting a silent roar.
This mental roar is enough to cause any powerful being in the Tribulation Transcending stage to have their soul shattered and turn them into an idiot.
Lin Fan simply pursed his lips.
"It's so noisy."
His outstretched fingers, one by one, with an irresistible will, slowly closed.
"Give them all to me..."
Clench your knuckles and make a fist.
"...Be quiet."
As he completed the action of clenching his fist.
"Click—"
A crisp sound rang out, not from the outside world, but exploded directly at the level of the rules of heaven and earth!
That was the sound of "existence" being crushed!
That vast expanse of black clouds, along with the tens of thousands of evil spirits within it, seemed to have been forcefully wiped off the painting by an invisible giant hand.
There was no explosion, no light or shadow.
It simply vanished into thin air, completely.
From matter to concepts, everything was completely erased, leaving not even a single basic particle that constitutes them.
Clean, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free.
After doing all this, Lin Fan's gaze returned to the massive spatial rift.
The several terrifying beings on the other side of the rift had fallen into complete silence.
Their proud will, under that grasp, became as fragile as a sandcastle.
That is a supreme "authority" that they cannot understand, cannot imagine, and cannot resist!
Annihilate!
The most thorough erasure from the very root of "existence"!
They tried to escape, but were horrified to discover that they, along with the entire alternate dimension, were completely locked down by an invisible force, and were even stripped of the right to move a single tentacle.
They could only watch helplessly and in despair.
The hand that they saw as the hand of a creator god was slowly reaching out towards them through the spatial rift.
