Chapter 461: Chapter 397: Fear

The night was deep.

In the warehouse, Lu Li checked the time; it was already around nine o’clock at night.

He wrapped up a busy day.

He tallied today’s achievements.

He added another two thousand mechas.

Now, the number of mechas had reached seven thousand and one.

About twenty-five thousand units short of the minimum target of thirty-two thousand five hundred.

Lu Li calculated the time; even if his strength stopped growing from now on, it would only take twelve and a half days to complete.

Although he condensed two thousand mechas, he hadn’t exhausted his energy today until now, which clearly didn’t align with the previous plan.

Lu Li realized that exhausting energy once a day no longer put significant pressure on his body.

So, he wanted to exhaust his energy three to four times a day to see if he could continue to pressure his body and prevent the evolution speed from slowing down.

“Just right, I can simulate a few future scenarios two or three times.”

Lu Li thought, glancing towards the direction of the high-tech smart meeting room to the east.

He knew that George, the Great Emperor, and other top leaders of various countries had mostly arrived.

Of course, not all one hundred and ninety-two leaders were present.

For example, Argentina was too far from Huaxia, over twenty thousand kilometers, and it would take twenty-four to twenty-five hours to fly over by private plane.

Therefore, the top leader of that country was still on the plane and likely wouldn’t make it in time.

Not just the leader from Argentina.

Three to five leaders from other distant countries faced the same situation.

Lu Li had previously agreed with everyone to meet promptly at ten in the evening.

Since those people couldn’t make it in time, he wouldn’t care about any reason and would certainly turn them away later.

“There’s no rush to see them now; let’s simulate the gamma-ray burst and see from which location it will strike and hit Earth.”

Lu Li summoned the remaining seven avatars beside him, excluding the “Yang Shen” No. 2.

Once the energy was exhausted, he would replenish it immediately.

The simulation of the future began.

Three days.

Ten days.

Twenty-six days passed in a flash.

Soon, Lu Li simulated up to the twenty-seventh day.

As before, he attempted to sense the gamma-ray burst.

However, this time it was somewhat different, not focused in one direction.

He instead sensed in sixteen directions in advance, trying to find the specific direction of the gamma-ray burst’s approach.

Unfortunately, the simulation failed once again.

Lu Li wasn’t surprised by this.

He paused after simulating the arrival of the gamma-ray burst.

He explored the direction of the approach again.

He explored along the previously determined sixteen directions.

By the time the energy was exhausted, he could basically eliminate one of the directions.

As Lu Li ended the simulation, he allowed the “Yang Shen” avatars to replenish their energy.

Then, he let them gather energy again.

Having just restored his energy, he took a deep breath, contemplating, “This simulation went well, eliminating one incorrect direction of the gamma-ray burst’s approach. I’ll continue simulating to see if I can exclude more incorrect options.”

The second round of simulation began!

Before long, Lu Li completed the second simulation.

He couldn’t help but frown, “This time was even worse than earlier; I didn’t eliminate a single incorrect direction. It’s truly unfortunate.”

Lu Li could determine from this simulation that the reason he couldn’t eliminate more options stemmed from two important reasons.

First, the gamma-ray burst’s range was too wide.

The remaining fifteen directions seemed all possibly covered by visible light, making it difficult to trace the specifics.

Second, his own strength was too weak, unable to deduce the real direction during the simulation.

If it were real life, he might distinguish it, but by then it would be meaningless.

Because even if he could pinpoint the approaching direction of the gamma-ray burst at that time, Earth would be doomed.

“Unless I become stronger, there’s hope to determine the direction of the gamma-ray burst in the simulation.”

With this thought, Lu Li’s gaze again turned towards the high-tech smart meeting room, “’Yang Shen’s’ energy collection isn’t that fast; I should go meet them first and showcase some ’domineering power’!”

…

Inside the high-tech smart meeting room.

Besides three or four top global leaders who hadn’t arrived.

George, the Great Emperor, and the other one hundred and eighty-eight leaders had all come.

These people didn’t really want to come, but what Lu Li had done earlier was too frightening, forcing them to come and beg for mercy, hoping to save their lives.

What had Lu Li done?

He put these people into illusions from afar and materialized the items from the illusions, presenting them to these leaders.

This involved several “divine powers.”

First, Lu Li made everyone aware that he possessed the ability to “cast spells” across thousands of mountains and rivers, with a range nearly covering the entire globe.

Secondly, he can freely create illusions that are as real as reality.

If he wanted to kill someone, it would be simpler than eating or drinking.

For instance, leading someone to walk into the middle of the road to be hit by a car, or to jump off a rooftop.

Thus, the illusions not only trick one’s mental senses but can also be lethal.

Thirdly, is turning illusion into reality.

This ability is even more terrifying than the “Annihilate Matter” that Lu Li previously exhibited.

“Annihilate Matter” is destruction, while turning illusion into reality is creation.

From this ability, everyone can judge that Lu Li now possesses not just the ability of the “Destruction God,” but has truly reached the threshold of the “Creator God.”

In the vast universe, everything can be easily destroyed or instantly evolved by him.

Naturally, George, the Great Emperor, and others were scared to their limits by these methods, and insisted on coming here to plead for peace.

At this moment, they no longer have any intention of developing “anti-Mr. Ancestor” weapons.

Because everyone knows that as soon as they attempt such a thing, Lu Li would sense it, and then their lives would surely be at risk.

Moreover, judging by the power Lu Li showed earlier, even if they could develop an “anti-Mr. Ancestor” weapon, he could annihilate it outright before they could use it, or even change its attributes so it couldn’t serve its purpose.

Precisely because they know Lu Li can perceive scenes worldwide,

George, the Great Emperor, and 188 others have been here for a long time without any form of communication.

They are afraid of saying the wrong thing, which would be sensed by Lu Li, possibly costing their lives on the spot!

Yes, everyone has been terrified by the power Lu Li has displayed, to the point they dare not speak.

Despite this, the thoughts within George, the Great Emperor, and these 188 individuals never ceased churning.

George sighed secretly, “I originally thought of Mr. Ancestor as formidable, thinking he had the power to ’destroy the surface,’ but I never imagined he was far more powerful than I thought. Not only can he sense every country, but he can also simultaneously unleash miraculous abilities worldwide. Fortunately, he has no murderous intent; otherwise, the Great Emperor and over a hundred others like me might already be corpses… No, if he wished, all 200 of us would be reduced to ashes!”

The Great Emperor also pondered with a complex expression, “Previously, we were refused when we wanted to visit him. Who would have thought, only a few days later, he would choose to meet us himself. Does he plan to retaliate? If he truly plans so, what can we possibly do? We are powerless against him. No, if he wanted retaliation, he could kill us invisibly; there must be another announcement, and by then, whether we want to comply or not, we must follow his instructions strictly, or face dire consequences!”

“I hope Mr. Ancestor won’t kill us.”

“Sigh, why did I agree with George and the Great Emperor’s ’anti-Mr. Ancestor’ plan earlier? Now it backfires.”

“How is Mr. Ancestor so formidable? Is he truly human?”

Xiong Wen Si Lang and the other over 180 top leaders from various countries are filled with endless uncontrollable thoughts, each anxious and uneasy.

Some are terrified to the extreme.

There are also those who secretly regret having sided with George and the Great Emperor.

In any case, the 188 people present each harbor their own schemes, long gone is their prior unity.

Just as everyone is lost in chaotic thoughts,

suddenly, a mysterious flash of light illuminated the entire high-tech intelligent conference room.

The intense light made it hard for everyone to open their eyes, instinctively raising their arms to shield themselves.

At the very moment they raised their arms, the voice of a young man, speaking in Huaxia-accented Mandarin, yet understood by all, suddenly resonated.

“I have long communicated spiritually with you all, and today we finally meet, which indeed is quite a fate.”

Hearing the voice, George, the Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, and others hurriedly lowered their arms, looking towards the source of the sound.

Lo and behold, at the center of the white conference table’s C position, Lu Li’s figure in casual attire had somehow appeared.

Everyone exchanged stunned glances, apparently not expecting Lu Li to appear in this manner.

Lu Li ignored everyone’s astonishment and leaned back in the multifunctional conference chair, his gaze sweeping over everyone, speaking slowly, “I’ve heard that recently you’ve been developing ’anti-Mr. Ancestor’ weapons, intending to use it against me, right?”

Upon hearing this, George, the Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, and others, all 188 individuals, were scared to their pants, hastily denying one after another.

“No! No!”

“Respected Mr. Ancestor, please don’t think like that!”

“How could we oppose you, there’s absolutely no such thing!”

“Mr. Ancestor, I’ve always been your loyal fan, please don’t believe such rumors, it must be someone falsely accusing us!”

George, the Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, and others rapidly denied,

as if fearing that speaking too slowly would lead Lu Li to kill them.

Gazing at the fear-filled eyes on the different-colored faces, Lu Li couldn’t help but find it amusing.

He hadn’t even started to scare them, and yet these people were already shamelessly lying through their teeth.

If he were to frighten them later, wouldn’t George, the Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, and others be scared to death?

He didn’t know why.

Though there were only 188 individuals here,

when Lu Li looked at their frightened gazes,

it felt more fulfilling than having thousands tremble before him.

He knew why.

Because these individuals held positions of power and influence.

Together, they practically represented the whole world.

Naturally, even though he sensed only the fear in 188 hearts, it was greatly satisfying.

While enjoying their fear, Lu Li also checked his hormone secretion levels.

He discovered that when he felt fulfilled, his hormones indeed secreted much faster than before.

In other words, his hypothesis about maintaining a rapid evolution method had now been proven feasible.

With this thought, Lu Li felt even happier and began to ponder inwardly.

How could he extract more emotional value from these world-representative figures to increase his hormone production and accelerate his evolution?

Initially, he didn’t have a plan.

However, after a moment, Lu Li figured out how to act in order to reap substantial emotional value from this group.
