Age of Evolution

Chapter 326: 326: Master of the Heavenly Star List

After the flying vehicles’ formation, they were slaughtered by Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan, losing more than half of their forces. Allen finally realized that they couldn’t continue like this.

So, the remaining thousands of flying vehicles dispersed and began to flee in all directions.

As a result, the large group of mutated birds got another opportunity, and began to chase and kill these flying vehicles everywhere.

Finally, less than 300 vehicles managed to break through and escape the Ice City Region. The rest of them were all annihilated.

Towards the end, Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan no longer focused on the ordinary flying vehicles. Instead, they were keeping a close eye on the Black Ghost, which was where Allen was.

Xiao Nuan drove a large number of birds and began to encircle and intercept Allen’s flying vehicle.

Although the speed of the Black Ghost was fast, it couldn’t move fast when surrounded by mutated birds everywhere. Allen tried to break out a few times but was intercepted by suicidal attacks from the mutated birds.

“Boom boom!”

Two consecutive giant vultures slammed into the Black Ghost, slowing down the vehicle that had just managed to gain some speed.

The control panel inside the flying vehicle was completely snowed, and the warning alarm rang non-stop. This Black Ghost was going to crash.

Allan slammed his fist onto the console, “Fucking hell, are these mutated birds crazy?

Seeing that the flying vehicle was about to fail, Allen simply opened the hatch and rushed out.

As a Star List expert, Allen believed he had the ability to escape from the encirclement of mutated beasts, although it wouldn’t be easy.

As soon as he rushed out of the hatch, Allen saw a large group of mutated birds flying towards him.

In the middle of the mutated bird flock, Allen was alarmed at the sight of the huge golden eagle. He felt a surge of unease, suspecting that something was off about the bird’s movements.

At this point, Lin Zhen didn’t need to hide anymore. There were no more Gods Clan’s flying vehicles in the surrounding sky, so no one would see what was happening here.

Standing up, Lin Zhen removed his disguise and looked at Allen in front of him.

Allan gasped when he saw Lin Zhen’s face, “Lin Zhen!”

“Allen of the Great Divine Sect, we have some history, but today is our first face-to-face encounter. I must have made you wait a long time.”

“You actually sided with mutated beasts! Lin Zhen, you have such audacity!” Allen quickly accused Lin Zhen while looking at the mutated birds circling around.

Lin Zhen couldn’t help but laugh, “Allen, you really can’t see the situation clearly. You still have the energy to blame me? I’m planning to overthrow the Gods Clan itself. No matter how many crimes you accuse me of, it’s all the same.”

“No, it’s not the same. If you side with mutated beasts, that’s a crime against humanity.” Allen shook his head.

“Oh, such a big crime. It seems I absolutely can’t let you leak this information.” Lin Zhen picked up his Raging Light Rifle.

“Do you think you can keep me here?” Allen’s face remained unchanged. “How would I know without trying?”

Before Lin Zhen’s words fell, he suddenly teleported behind Allen and stabbed him with his rifle!

Allen’s weapon was a sword, which he swung to defend.

“Clang! ”

The sword flew out, unable to block Lin Zhen’s backstab. Allen’s waist was pierced by the rifle!

“This… this is impossible!”

Allen couldn’t believe the sight of the rifle piercing through his abdomen, refusing to accept that he couldn’t even block a single attack from Lin Zhen. “There’s no such thing as impossible. Die! ”

Lin Zhen’s Dark Star power exploded within him, directly crushing Allen’s body to shreds.

Only at the moment of his death did Allen come to realize that Lin Zhen was actually a Star Realm Expert.

However, Lin Zhen’s Star Realm was different from others. He was in the Dark Star Realm, and since he had not yet reached the Star Realm with his Dantian Qi cultivation, he appeared to be only a quasi-Star Realm from the outside.

With one shot, Lin Zhen eliminated Allen and his position on the Meteor Star List soared.

Allen was the ninth on the Meteor Star List and was immediately replaced by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen casually took over Allen’s Space Ring and looked around at the sky.

The God’s Clan’s army had completely collapsed, with only a few fleeing members that were no longer important.

Looking down, Lin Zhen could even find the direction of the Man of Ten Thousand Enemies, located to the west of Ice City, in an area densely populated with high-level mutated beasts.

However, Lin Zhen did not want to deal with the Man of Ten Thousand Enemies for the time being. He wanted to check the situation in Ice City first before deciding his next move. He left Xiao Nuan behind and headed to Ice City alone.

High above the clouds, there were cold air currents. As the air currents ascended, the air became thinner.

Continuing upward, beyond the atmosphere, it was no longer the sky but the deep and dark cosmic space.

A satellite wreckage, launched from the Common Era, floated silently in space.

It was no longer affected by Earth’s gravity and dragged into the atmosphere. Instead, following Earth’s orbit, it floated here for eternity.

On the surface of the satellite, there was a Five-Star Red Flag pattern. It was called Tiangong-3 thousands of years ago but had been abandoned. At this moment, two men were sitting on the satellite.

Both men wore a pair of glasses that could adjust distance and allow them to view the situation in Ice City.

One was an old man and the other a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a long robe, while the old man wore a simple Tang suit.

In these two people’s glasses, Lin Zhen’s killing of Allen was clearly displayed, as well as the situation with the mutated beasts besieging the city.

“Mr. An Bihuai, what do you think of this Lin Zhen?” the middle-aged man asked the old man.

The old man didn’t answer immediately, but instead took a sip from a small metal wine flask. After screwing the flask cap back on, he said after a while, “Youngsters are terrifying.”

The middle-aged man chuckled, “You’re not just saying that because Lin Zhen is your great-grandson-in-law, are you?”

“Chen Fenglie, do you think I, An Bihuai, am the kind of person who would lie with my eyes open? This kid is indeed talented, and I feel quite reassured if An Ning is with him.”

“So now you can sleep soundly without worrying about whether or not to help Ice City.”

“That’s right. The fighters on the Heavenly Star List keep each other in check, and we don’t meddle in mundane affairs. Yet our Hua Xia occupies four of the eighteen seats on the list, more than any other country. If we were to intervene impulsively, it would undoubtedly provoke dissatisfaction from other countries’ fighters on the list. I’ve been distressed about how to deal with Ice City’s situation. Fortunately, Lin Zhen appears, relieving me of my worries.”

Chen Fenglie nodded: ‘You’re right. Back when Yan Qiyue established this rule, other countries’ fighters on the Heavenly Star List also opposed it. But in the end, the rule was still enforced. Heavenly Star List fighters aren’t allowed to interfere with wars, disasters, or any other events, unless it concerns the survival of humanity. Therefore, in such situations, we can only watch helplessly.”

“That’s true. I remember you once wanted to interfere with Gale Martial Arts Hall’s affairs, but now you can’t do anything either, since you rose to the 17th position on the Heavenly Star List”, An Bihuai laughed.

Chen Fenglie promptly shot back at An Bihuai, “I see that you can’t let go of the mundane matters either. An Ning probably doesn’t even know that you, her great-grandfather, exist. Even if you save her and Ice City, no one will appreciate it.”

Both men laughed and talked for a bit before Chen Fenglie turned serious and asked, “Mr. An, do you think Lin Zhen has any hope of making it onto the Heavenly Star List?”

An Bihuai pondered for a moment: “There’s a great chance, but it may be difficult in the short term. At least for now, among the Hua Xia’s rising stars, Jin Qichao, the founder of the Northwest Military Academy, and Shang Jin, the founder of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, are both geniuses. They rank second and third on the Dark Star List, so they seem to have a better chance.”

Chen Fenglie nodded, “You’re right. But I’ve been watching Lin Zhen grow all this time, and even his potential is beyond my understanding…’ “Why, are you thinking about the Bermuda incident?” asked An Bihuai.

“Of course, I am. However, Mr. Yan Qiyue is elusive like a dragon, and Qing Xu has been playing hide-and-seek for years. It’s hard for just the two of us to make any progress at Bermuda.”

“I advise you not to act on Lin Zhen’s behalf for now. Although he does have great potential, his current difficulties aren’t small either. Whether he can pass the test with the Holy Church remains to be seen.”

Chen Fenglie glanced at An Bihuai, “You think Yan Huang can still cause trouble for Lin Zhen?”

“Of course, there’s a possibility. The Holy Light Armor left behind by Kailun, the first Holy Son of the Star Sky Divine Teaching, and the Star Sky Crown are not simple, especially the Star Sky Crown. I’ve heard from Mr. Yan Qiyue that he once fought with Kailun. He lost because Kailun was wearing the Star Sky Crown. Of course, in the end, Yan Qiyue won the second challenge, and Kailun left the Star Sky Crown at the Holy Church. If Yan Huang can fully gain the power of the Star Sky Crown, Lin Zhen almost has no chance of winning.”

Hearing An Bihuai mention this incident, Chen Fenglie nodded, “I’ve also heard about it. I’m not in a hurry either, but lately, I’ve been feeling a strange sense of palpitation, as if something irresistible is going to happen.”

“Hehe, your strength just barely meets the standard, and you’ve only experienced a bit of it. We old men on the Heavenly Star List have long felt this way. Mr. Yan Qiyue even predicted that there would be a drastic change on

Earth in about three years!”

“Oh, he said that? In that case, Earth is in danger!” Chen Fenglie’s face changed.

“Maybe, some things are uncertain, and it’s hard to tell whether this is a disaster or an opportunity. Let’s just wait and see.” An Bihuai picked up the wine flask again, and Chen Fenglie took out a small flask. The two men clinked their flasks and drank in the vast expanse of the stars, a unique experience of their own..
