Chapter 141 Purifying the Entire Planet! A Shocking Twist! Oumuamua Reappears!

Blue Star, outer space.

The figure of Yu Jin stood alone among them.

Behind him lay the vast expanse of space.

At his fingertips shone a brilliant light of purification.

This purifying light was initially as fine as a hair.

However, as time goes by, it continues to expand and surge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One meter, five meters, ten meters...

100 meters, 1,000 meters, 10,000 meters...

boom--

Boom boom——!
No sound travels in space.

This earth-shattering tremor came from the planet beneath Ember's feet!

[You, with your insignificant ant-like body, painstakingly purified the 'Tenth-Order Galaxy-Level Pollution Source - Wasteland (Partial)'!]

Such a feat is unprecedented and unparalleled, its fame resounding throughout the Wasteland Galaxy!

[Current purification progress: 0.1%...0.2%...]

Before Yu Jin's eyes, a semi-transparent system panel appeared.

Familiar text, familiar progress.

At this moment, it is almost exactly the same as the night before I traveled through time.

the difference is……

The Ember of today is no longer the 'ninth-tier ant' it once was, but a fourteenth-tier evolver!
"but……"

"The system doesn't have Void +3 level?"

Yu Jin looked at the 'Tenth-Tier Pollution Source' assessment on the panel and felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He seems to have figured out the pattern of how the system 'bugs'.

Does it vary depending on the server I'm on?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Yu Jin didn't have much time to think about it at the moment.

To completely purify Blue Star in less than ten minutes, he had to race against time and go all out!

boom--!
On the tip of the embers, a surge of purifying light erupted.

Half of the eastern hemisphere of Earth was rapidly engulfed by the ever-expanding pillar of light.

Especially the Great Xia, whose entire 960 million square kilometers of land are covered within it...

……

……

Daxia, 丨zhou.

State University, Survivor Base No. 1.

Ah Zhen and the hundreds of thousands of survivors at the base remain in a daze.

Before them, on the playground of State University...

The brilliant crystals piled up together.

The refracted light almost blinded everyone.

Tons of mutated beast meat were stacked on huge cabinets made of an unknown material.

even……

Even clean water was thoughtfully provided for them by Ember.

Those buckets of unlabeled, yet clean and transparent pure water almost filled the entire playground!

But these weren't the things that made them lose their minds the most.

now.

For hundreds of thousands of people, the image that flashed through their minds just moments before was the Ember descending upon this place and annihilating the mutated beast tide with a black hole.

The embers came too quickly and left too hastily.

He only gave Cao Fang a tight hug and let her know that his father and brother were safe before he transformed into a beam of light and shot into the sky.

So that...

Hundreds of thousands of survivors are still wondering if what they are seeing is real.

Dazed, bewildered, shocked, stunned...

A mix of emotions ultimately coalesced into one: a young man who descended upon this place as a god!

But soon.

They discovered that it had suddenly become light.

Whoosh-!
A beam of light, as if shooting from the heavens, fell straight to the earth!

"what--!"

Some people screamed instinctively, thinking it was some kind of terrifying attack.

but……

The light fell to the ground, yet it didn't even stir up any dust.

The milky white halo emitted a hissing sound, and wisps of black mist rose from beneath the earth.

"That is……"

"pollute?"

"Is the pollution being purified?"

Ah Zhen and the other team members were stunned and stood there in shock.

But soon they realized they had been too hasty...

Om-!
The light expanded rapidly with lightning speed.

Just for a moment.

The hundreds of thousands of survivors at the state base discovered that the world before them had turned into an extremely pure milky white.

There was no sky or earth in sight.

All that remained was the all-encompassing light.

Along with this light came...

"Ah~!"

Ah Zhen let out the most shameful sound of her life.

A hissing sound also came from her body, and a faint black mist rose from it.

The same scene played out on hundreds of thousands of people at the I-zhou base.

……

……

Great Xia, Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng University.

The shy boys and girls huddled together nervously.

In their quest for food, they bravely ventured into the university cafeteria, only to be targeted by a group of stray mutant cats.

"His ha——"

The mutated cat hissed, crouched down, and assumed a posture ready to attack.

"Woo-"

The shy junior girl covered her mouth, trying hard not to sob out loud.

The thin junior gripped the stick tightly in his hand, his calves trembling with instinctive fear.

They regretted it.

They should have waited for 'Boss Tang' to log off the game before he protected them and they went out to find food together...

"I used to feed these tabby cats..."

"But now, I have to feed myself..."

Some people sighed softly, as if they had already accepted their fate.

But at this moment.

Om-!
Suddenly, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from the air.

The students, who had initially resigned themselves to their fate or were unwilling to accept it, subconsciously looked up and discovered...

The sky and earth in the distance have turned into a pure white!
That white color is light!

The light roared in and engulfed everything!
"what--!"

A mutated cat, baring its teeth and snarling, blocked their way, letting out a sharp, piercing scream.

The group of Jiangnan University students widened their eyes instantly.

They saw...

Those mutated cats, whose size was comparable to that of cheetahs, were instantly dissolved into nothingness the moment they came into contact with the light!
Om-!
They didn't have time to think too much. Because they themselves were instantly enveloped in light.

……

……

The Great Xia Dynasty, its capital.

The old man looked up, gazing at the beam of light that was getting closer and closer, turning the entire world into a white hue.

His hunched body trembled uncontrollably at that moment.

This trembling wasn't from fear, but from excitement!
"Yes……"

"It's Yu Jin..."

"Is it him who's back?"

"Has that ray of light from the Great Northwest descended upon this land once more?"

hum-

A beam of light streaked past.

"Uh--"

A low sob escaped his throat.

An extremely dense black mist emanated from the old man's body.

……

……

Blue Star, outer space.

Before Yu Jin's eyes, on the semi-transparent system panel, numbers kept jumping.

[Current purification progress: 35%...40%...45%...]

Time passes slowly.

With a devastating 30 units of energy, the pollution of half of the Blue Star was completely purified.

Mutant beasts, infected beings, sources of contamination...

Even humanity, corrupted and eroded by pollution, received an unprecedented purification under this light that enveloped the entire blue planet.

"Ok?"

Yu Jin looked at the panel in front of him and let out a soft "hmm".

After the purification progress reached 45%, its growth rate slowed down considerably compared to before.

[Current purification progress: 45.1%...45.2%...]

After only a moment's thought, Yu Jin realized what was happening.

He is now located on the eastern hemisphere of Earth.

The purifying light he unleashed from this side, in order to purify the western hemisphere, needs to penetrate the entire blue planet, including the Earth's core.

Whoosh-!
Behind the embers, wings of light flapped.

In just a few breaths.

He has already arrived on the other side of Earth.

"continue!"

Yu Jin reached out, and a powerful beam of light shot out from his fingertips, falling towards the earth below.

hum-

Buzz—!
Just like when it was purifying the eastern hemisphere, the pillar of light continued to expand and spread.

On the system panel, the purification progress also increased rapidly once again.

[Current purification progress: 46%...60%...80%...]

Time passes slowly.

The purification progress has reached 89%.

Before Yu Jin's eyes, the 10-minute countdown had dwindled to just three minutes.

"almost!"

"After purification, we might have some time to go down and take another look..."

Yu Jin murmured softly, his internal energy surging violently.

A value of 30 does not mean that the energy is inexhaustible.

Using any ability requires 'mana'.

The act of purifying an entire planet is such a horrifying undertaking that its energy consumption is extremely high.

Even Yu Jin could feel that the energy within his body was gradually approaching depletion.

If the remaining 11% of the pollution sources from Oumuamua had gathered together, the current Embers could probably be completely purified with a simple gesture.

However, this source of pollution is scattered throughout the entire planet and has even been enhanced in unknown ways, making its purification difficulty and consumption increase exponentially.

[Current purification progress: 90%...]

Before the embers, the numbers began to jump again.

Can be biased.

at this time.

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of crisis arose in Yu Jin's heart!
Horror, great horror!
Just for a moment.

Ember's entire body was covered in goosebumps!

He had never felt this way since he awakened to become an evolved being!

It's as if...

Alone, I became the enemy of the entire universe!

It's as if...

Everything around me, both matter and energy, began to repel me!
even……

Even Yu Jin could feel the energy within his body inexplicably surging!
"what happened?"

Yu Jin's heart pounded wildly.

boom--!
Suddenly.

He felt an extremely strong fluctuation appear out of nowhere behind him.

Swah——

Yu Jin turned his head to look.

He froze for a moment.

within sight.

A huge, pitch-black celestial body appeared out of thin air, bit by bit.

Yes, it appeared out of thin air, little by little.

Because the embers watched it grow from nothing, squeezed out inch by inch from the 'space'!

This is……

【warn!warn! 】

You are close to becoming a 'fifteenth-order galactic-level pollution source—extinction'!

The pollution source is of an extremely high level, on a massive scale, and extremely dangerous!

It could easily pollute the entire solar system!

You, with your ant-like body, cannot resist. Please get away as soon as possible, get away as soon as possible!

boom--!
The pitch-black celestial body was squeezed out completely from 'space'.

Its appearance caused the entire space, and even the blue planet below, to tremble violently!
Swah——

The pitch-black celestial body suddenly became bright.

It transformed itself into what appeared to be a black comet from deep space.

At that moment, Yu Jin's mind went completely blank.

This black celestial body rapidly overlapped with the scene in Yu Jin's memory.

This is something Ember had seen in Nyarlathotep's prophecy...

Oumuamua 2!

"How could this be?"

Yu Jin was deeply shaken.

In Nyarlathotep's prophecy, Oumuamua 2 was supposed to appear 60 days later.

In Nyarlathotep's prophecy, it was precisely because he rushed back to Earth at the last moment that...

"and many more!"

Yu Jin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine...
