Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

After Lin Chen, the Demon Ancestor, and the Dragon Ancestor returned to the Tianyuan Starfield through the spatial rift, Lin Chen did not linger. He created a clone to guard the Boundary-Breaking Pearl while his main body entered the Creation Space.

Li Ya had already received Zi Ling's notification that 120,000 troops were lined up on Creation Island, ready to go.

Lin Chen walked up to her: "Come on, let's go to the new Guangzhou together."

Zi Ling then exerted her power, and the purple light enveloped 120,000 people along with Cang Ming. In the next instant, they landed in the center of the New Guangzhou Square.

News of the enemy's capture swept through the entire city of Guangzhou like a whirlwind, and then spread rapidly from Guangzhou to other towns along various roads and communication channels.

Li Zhenbang had already ordered the construction of a temporary platform and live broadcast screen to ensure that all surviving Chinese citizens could see the trial proceedings.

There are no railings around the platform, only a few steps leading to the surface.

When Lin Chen arrived with his men, the square was already packed with people, stretching from the foot of the platform all the way to the end of the street, with even the windows and rooftops of the buildings on both sides filled with people.

There was no crowding or noise; everyone stood quietly, their gazes converging in the same direction from all directions.

Lin Chen led core members such as Li Ya, Su Yun, Liang Siqi, Liu Feifei, and the twin sisters to the high platform, where Li Zhenbang, Liang Xingguo, Commander Peng, and other members of the new generation of human leaders were all present.

He threw Cangming onto the stage. Cangming knelt on the table, his light gray pupils almost transparent in the light. His dark gray robe was crumpled in his clothes, the collar askew, revealing half of his collarbone.

He kept his head down, his body trembling slightly, his gaze sweeping across the edge of the dense crowd below the stage before quickly looking away.

Lin Chen faced the audience, his voice echoing throughout the entire square: "Fellow countrymen, the culprit behind the world's destruction has been caught."

He raised his hand and pointed at Cangming: "This person is called Cangming. He comes from outside our world, from a place called the Yuanxu Universe."

He then began to recount the various sufferings people endured and the deaths they caused during the five years of the end times, his voice of judgment resounding throughout the hall.

All eyes in the audience fell on Cangming at the same time. He saw a man with an ordinary face that was almost unrecognizable. Apart from his light gray pupils, which were different from those of humans, his other features were very similar to those of humans.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted as if on fire, with voices rising from every corner.

An elderly woman with a full head of white hair squeezed to the front of the crowd, her eyes fixed on the kneeling figure on the stage, her voice hoarse yet shrill: "Him? He's the one who destroyed Earth like that?"

The person next to her didn't respond, but neither did they refute her.

"That's him! He looks like an ordinary person, but what he does is utterly inhumane," a burly man chimed in, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"I still have to thank Lord Lin Chen. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had any hope of avenging my wife, children, and elderly parents," said a middle-aged man wearing glasses in the crowd. His voice wasn't loud, but the people around him heard him.

"It's not just a matter of hoping; we probably don't even know who our enemy is," someone nearby chimed in.

A middle-aged woman was holding the hand of a seven or eight-year-old boy. Her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything. She just tightened her grip on the child's hand.

The child was gripped so tightly it hurt, but he didn't break free. He just looked up at his mother and then at the kneeling figure on the stage.

Countless eyes began to converge on the high platform, landing on Lin Chen with gratitude and admiration.

In the crowd, Zhou Tiannian was holding a two- or three-year-old child, and standing next to him was a child of about ten years old.

He looked at Lin Chen on the stage and whispered to the child in his arms, "Do you see him? That's Lord Lin Chen. Back then, your father was Boss Lin's subordinate, but later his strength couldn't keep up, so he retired."

The child nodded, then looked at Cangming: "Dad, was it this bad guy who killed my older brothers and sisters?"

Zhou Tiannian paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it's him."

He is sixty years old this year. All of his family members on Blue Star died in the apocalypse, and the children around him now were born later.

His cultivation had extended his lifespan, making him appear to be under forty, yet his voice carried the vicissitudes of time.

On the stage, Li Zhenbang and Liang Xingguo stood side by side, not saying much, but looking at Lin Chen with great satisfaction, for this was their son-in-law!

Commander Peng, Commander Zhao, and others sat to one side, shifting their gaze from Cangming to Lin Chen, and nodded.

An hour later, Lin Chen's trial ended, and the emotions of the crowd below the stage had reached a climax.

Cangming looked down at the audience. Although he couldn't understand the language of Blue Star, he understood the emotions of those people all too well.

During his few days on Creation Island, he finally understood why Lin Chen was growing so fast. It turned out that the other party had mastered a World Spirit! And it was an extremely unique World Spirit.

He spoke in the language of the gods, kowtowing as he pleaded, "Please... release me... I'm willing to be your slave, just spare my life..."

Lin Chen looked down at him, then pointed to the audience below: "Do you think they'll agree?"

He glanced at Li Ya and the others behind him. "And them, they're all my family. They all have relatives and friends who died in that disaster. Do you think I could agree to that?"

Li Ya stood a step behind him, silent. Su Yun's gaze fell on Cang Ming, and Liu Feifei's grip on the hilt of her knife tightened slightly. No one spoke, but their resentful gazes said it all.

Cangming raised his head, glanced at the faces below the stage, and then looked in the direction of Li Ya and the others. His body began to tremble.

Two thin lines slowly extended down his trouser legs, converging into a small water stain on the table.

Someone in the audience saw it, was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, and others joined in, the laughter quickly spreading.

Someone shouted, "A supposedly powerful being from beyond the realm? He's scared out of his wits!"

Then someone chimed in, "So even the strong are afraid of death!"

More voices joined in—laughter, mockery, sobs, and curses—creating a chaotic cacophony.

Cangming knelt on the stage, his body completely limp.

Someone in the audience shouted, "Kill him! Kill him now!" Immediately, more voices followed.

Lin Chen did not respond immediately. He stood at the edge of the platform and waited for the sound to gradually subside before waving his hand and saying, "Don't worry, everyone. This person is definitely going to die, but killing him directly would be too easy on him."

He glanced down at Cangming, then looked away and turned to the audience: "I will hang him on this high platform so that everyone will have the opportunity to personally kill their enemy."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below cheered with joy; Lin Chen truly understood them perfectly.

Watching your enemy die is never as satisfying as personally stabbing them a few times.

Lin Chen waved his hand again, and the crowd fell silent once more: "I just hope that this time, after we get our revenge, everyone can start a new life."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, if anyone wants to return to Blue Star, I will have Zi Ling help you return to your home planet."

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and some people couldn't hold back their tears.

Lin Chen shouted, "The cultural heritage of our Chinese nation will forever shine like stars in the sky!"

Countless people were ignited with emotion, chanting, "Eternal Starlight! Eternal Starlight!"
