Was this world in danger?

Lin Feng did not sense it at all. Actually, be it providence or the Origin, Lin Feng naturally believed it, because he had experienced it himself.

On his home planet, facing the threat of extinction, Lin Feng was actually favored by the providence of the entire world.

Otherwise, how could Lin Feng have obtained the Spear of Destruction?

Moreover, he had comprehended the Law of Annihilation at that critical moment.

No matter how one looked at it, all of this felt like Lin Feng’s luck was just too good. Being too lucky was actually one of the characteristics of being favored by providence.

Lin Feng did not doubt it at all. He was once the “protagonist” of the ninth civilization on his home planet, which was why his development was so smooth.

However, that was when facing the crisis of the Behemoth of Armageddon. The entire world might be destroyed. The favor of providence was normal. Was the Planet Aqua in danger of being destroyed now?

Recently, the entire world had actually been very peaceful. There was nuclear deterrence between the major countries, and major wars could not possibly break out.

The only chaos was the appearance of the Black Dragon Cult. Although the scale of the chaos caused by the Black Dragon Cult was nothing small, as long as the major countries took it seriously, the Black Dragon Cult would not be able to survive for long.

Why did the favor of providence appear on Linlin now?

From a certain perspective, the one favored by providence was the “protagonist” of this world. They were here to save this world and play the role of the savior.

The world’s Origin would not deliver providence and choose a “protagonist” for no reason.

Only in the face of a truly huge crisis would the world’s Origin make such a choice.

“Could it be the devouring lifeform?”

Lin Feng thought of the devouring lifeform again. However, after waiting for so many days, the devouring lifeform still had not arrived. How could this world sense the danger?

This did not make sense at all!

Lin Feng could not imagine what kind of crisis this world was facing that it did not hesitate to deliver providence and choose a “protagonist”.

However, it did not matter. Linlin was the “protagonist” favored by the providence of this world. As long as he paid attention to Linlin, he would definitely be able to find the reason.

…

After work, Linlin realized that the strange tramp in the square had already disappeared.

“Has he left?”

Even though Linlin felt that the tramp was a little strange, since he had already left, she did not think much of it.

After work, Linlin suddenly encountered an attack by a group of men in black on the way home.

Linlin was just an ordinary person, but the men in black were all well-trained.

However, at this moment, a young man suddenly appeared. His body emitted a white light. When it shone on these men in black, it emitted waves of black smoke. Then, the men in black fell to the ground and turned into terrifying dried corpses.

Linlin was really frightened. She was just an ordinary person, and had always led an ordinary life. Now that she suddenly encountered such a bizarre thing, she was naturally at a loss.

“Eh? Aren’t you Lan Tian?”

Only then did Linlin take a closer look, and realize that this was her former high school classmate, Lan Tian.

However, Lan Tian had disappeared since graduating from high school, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth entirely. No one knew where he had gone. She did not expect him to suddenly appear now, and that they’d meet under such circumstances.

Lan Tian’s expression was solemn. He squatted down to check on the man in black.

“They are indeed from the Black Dragon Cult!”

Lan Tian’s expression was dark. He seemed to have expected this.

“Linlin, long time no see. But now is not the time to catch up. You shouldn’t go home either. It might be dangerous. Come with me!”

Lan Tian pulled Linlin away. Even though Linlin felt a little awkward, after what happened just now, Lan Tian was at least her savior. She left decisively with Lan Tian.

Just as Lan Tian and Linlin left, a figure gradually appeared behind them. It was Lin Feng.

He had actually been tailing Linlin all along, but did not expect to see such a scene.

“So there’s someone with more providence than Linlin. Is this Lan Tian the real protagonist?”

Lin Feng could sense that the providence on Lan Tian was several times greater than that on Linlin. This was what a true person of great providence was like. Perhaps Linlin was just a very important figure who had a close relationship with Lan Tian, which was why she had providence.

As for these people in black, Lin Feng could tell at a glance. They were just people who had been modified with some death energy. They were simply not worth mentioning. Even he could do it at will.

However, weren’t there no cultivators in this world?

Now that Lan Tian had suddenly appeared, and there were these people from the Black Dragon Cult, it seemed like there were still many secrets in this world that Lin Feng did not know about.

Hence, he continued to follow Lan Tian and Linlin. As long as he followed them, he would learn what the true crisis in this world was.

…

Lan Tian led Linlin to a dim room, but there was another underground passage inside. There was a huge underground hall below.

Linlin’s eyes lit up. She realized that there were actually many people in the underground hall. There were men, women, elders, and children.

“Lan Tian, you’re back.”

“This must be Linlin?” An amiable-looking old man glanced at Linlin, who had been brought back by Lan Tian, and asked with a smile.

“I’m Linlin. You are?”

“Come in. There are some things you must know!”

The old man led Lan Tian and Linlin into the small room. The furnishings were very simple, but it was filled with an ancient aura.

“Let me introduce myself first. You can call me Elder Tu! Linlin, you might be wondering who we are and why the people of the Black Dragon Cult are looking for you. Actually, this has to start from an ancient story.”

“In a very ancient and distant era, terrifying Demon Kings were born. They destroyed and devoured everything. We humans were just their food.”

“But one day, a Divine Stone fell from the sky. Our ancestors of humanity obtained this Divine Stone and refined it into a ring. We called it the Divine Ring! This Divine Ring possessed powerful strength that could annihilate all the Demon Kings. Humanity finally defeated the Demon Kings and rebuilt their home.”

“However, the Demon Kings were not completely destroyed. They would accumulate strength over a long period of time in the hope of making a comeback. For the sake of the future of humanity, our ancestors divided the Divine Ring into two parts and handed it over to his two most loyal subordinates for safekeeping.”

“The Divine Ring has been passed down from generation to generation. Some people don’t even know these stories, let alone the significance of the Divine Ring. Linlin, you are the descendant of the keeper of half of the Divine Ring. You have a part of that Divine Ring on you!”

Hearing Elder Tu’s story, Linlin’s mouth fell open. She even felt that this world was ridiculous.

Having received more than 20 years of scientific education, she did not believe Elder Tu’s story at all.

What Demon King? What Divine Ring? These were all nonsense, like some crudely made third-rate movies.

“Don’t tell me I’m some kind of savior.”

“Unfortunately, Linlin, you are indeed one of the saviors!”

Linlin smiled. She shook her head and said, “Did you just say that those people are from the Black Dragon Cult, that evil cult? I think you should report to the government. The Black Dragon Cult will soon be razed to the ground by the army sent by the major countries. I’m sorry, I don’t want to participate in your savior game.”

Linlin shrugged. Even though Lan Tian had saved her, she still did not quite believe in the so-called savior.

She was just an ordinary girl. How could she be a savior?

“Linlin, you have to accept reality…”

Boom.

Before Lan Tian could finish speaking, the entire underground hall shook violently.
