Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 159 - 139: Purify the Entire Planet! Earth-Shattering Twist! Oumuamua Reappears!
Chapter 159: Chapter 139: Purify the Entire Planet! Earth-Shattering Twist! Oumuamua Reappears!
Blue Star, space.
Yu Jin’s figure stood alone in it.
Behind him was the deep expanse of the universe.
At his fingertip was a dazzling purifying light.
This purifying light, at first, was as fine as a strand of hair.
But as time passed, it expanded and swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One meter, five meters, ten meters…
Hundred meters, thousand meters, ten thousand meters…
Boom—
Boom boom—!
No sound travels in space.
This earth-shaking tremor came from the planet beneath Yu Jin’s feet!
[With the body of an ant, you have arduously purified ’Tier Ten Star System-level Pollution Source—Barrenness (Partial)’!]
[Such achievement is unprecedented, reverberating throughout the Wasteland Star System!]
[Current Purification Progress: 0.1%…0.2%…]
In front of Yu Jin, a translucent system interface appeared.
Familiar words, familiar progress.
Right now, it was nearly identical to that night before crossing over.
The difference is…
Now, Yu Jin is no longer that ’Tier Nine ant,’ he is a Tier Fourteen Evolver!
“But…”
“System doesn’t show Void+3 Tier?”
Yu Jin looked at the panel’s verdict of ’Tier Ten Pollution Source’, and felt something stir inside him.
He seemed to grasp the pattern behind Brother Tongzi’s ’bugs’.
“Does it change depending on which server I’m on?”
Such thoughts flashed by, Yu Jin had no time to ponder more at this moment.
In less than ten minutes, to purify Blue Star completely, he must seize every second, go all-out!
Boom—!
On Yu Jin’s fingertip, purifying light surged violently.
Nearly half of Blue Star’s Eastern Hemisphere was swiftly drowned by the expanding pillar of light.
Especially Daxia, its nine-point-six million square kilometers of land all covered within…
…
…
Daxia, Gunzhou.
Gunzhou University, Survivor Base 1.
Ah Zhen and tens of thousands of survivors in the base were still in a dazed, bewildered state.
Before them, on Gunzhou University’s sports field…
Dazzling crystals piled together.
The refracted brilliance nearly blinded everyone’s eyes.
Tons upon tons of mutated beast meat were stacked onto massive racks made of unknown materials.
Even…
Yu Jin had thoughtfully prepared clean water for them.
Buckets and buckets of unlabeled, yet clean and transparent pure water, nearly covering the entire field!
And these weren’t the most shocking things.
At this moment.
What tens of thousands replayed in their minds was, just moments ago, Yu Jin descending here and erasing the mutant beast tide with a black hole.
Yu Jin arrived too quickly and left too abruptly.
He only tightly hugged Cao Fang, assured her father and brother’s safety, then transformed into light, rushing to the sky.
So that…
Tens of thousands of survivors still questioned whether everything in front of them was real.
Dazed, bewildered, shocked, dumbfounded…
Emotions tangled, finally condensing into the image of the youth descending here like a deity!
But soon.
They discovered the sky suddenly brightened.
Swish—!
A beam of light, as if shot from beyond the heavens, plunged into the earth!
“Ah—!”
Someone screamed instinctively, fearing some terrifying attack.
But…
The light landed, not even raising any dust.
Within the milky-white glow came the ’zizizi’ noises, and wisps of black mist drifting up from beneath the earth.
“Is that…”
“Pollution?”
“Pollution is being purified?”
Ah Zhen and the team were frozen with shock.
But they soon realized they’d been shocked too early…
Buzz—!
The light expanded at lightning speed.
Only an instant.
Tens of thousands at Gunzhou Base found their world turning into the purest milky white.
No sky, no ground remained in view.
The only thing left was the light enveloping everything.
Along with this light came…
“Ah~!”
Ah Zhen let out the most mortifying sound in her life.
From her body too came ’zizizi’ noises, faint black mist drifting out.
The same scene played out in tens of thousands at Gunzhou Base.
…
…
Daxia, Jiang City.
Jiangcheng University.
Fresh-faced boys and girls huddled nervously together.
For food, they had ventured into the dining hall, only to be targeted by a pack of wandering mutated cats.
“Hiss-ha—”
The mutated cats hissed, bodies crouched, poised to attack.
“Wuwu—”
A timid freshman girl covered her mouth, forcing herself not to sob aloud.
A thin freshman boy gripped his stick tightly, calves trembling from instinctive fear.
They regretted it.
They should’ve waited for Lord Tang to finish his game, then come out together for food under his protection…
“These tabbies, I used to feed them…”
“But now, it’s myself being fed to them…”
Someone muttered in anguish, almost resigned to fate’s judgment.
But right then.
Buzz—!
A special ripple suddenly came from the air.
Students, resigned or indignant, instinctively looked up and saw…
The distant sky and earth had turned into the purest white!
That white was light!
Light howled in, swamping everything!
“Ah—!”
The mutated cats, snarling in front, let out shrill cries.
The Jiang University students suddenly widened their eyes.
They saw…
The leopard-sized mutated tabbies, upon contact with the light, were forcibly dissolved into nothingness!
Buzz—!
No time to think.
They themselves were instantly engulfed by the light.
…
…
Daxia, Imperial Capital.
An old man raised his head, watching the pillar of light drawing nearer, dyeing all heaven and earth white.
His hunched body could not help but tremble.
This tremor wasn’t fear, but excitement!
“It’s…”
“It’s Yu Jin…”
“Is he back?”
“Has the light from that day in the Northwest descended upon these lands once again?”
Buzz—
The light howled past.
“Ugh—”
From his throat, came a soft whimper.
From the old man’s body spilled an intense, extreme black mist.
…
…
Blue Star, space.
In front of Yu Jin, numbers flickered on the system interface.
[Current Purification Progress: 35%…40%…45%…]
Time slowly passed.
With 300,000 Value flooding out, half of Blue Star’s pollution was fully purified.
Mutant beasts, infected bodies, pollution sources…
Even polluted, corrupted humans—under this light covering all Blue Star—received unprecedented purification.
“Hm?”
Yu Jin looked at the panel and made a soft sound.
Once the purification progress hit 45%, its speed visibly slowed compared to before.
[Current Purification Progress: 45.1%…45.2%…]
After a brief thought, Yu Jin figured it out.
Right now, he’s on the eastern hemisphere of Blue Star.
The purifying light he’s unleashing would need to penetrate the entire planet, including its core, to reach the western hemisphere.
Swish—!
The light wings behind Yu Jin flapped.
Just a few breaths later.
He was already on Blue Star’s other side.
“Continue!”
Yu Jin reached out, a vast pillar of light roared out from his fingertip, falling toward the earth below.
Buzz—
Buzz buzz—!
Just as with purifying the eastern hemisphere, the pillar expanded and spread.
On the system panel, purification progress soared again.
[Current Purification Progress: 46%…60%…80%…]
Time slowly passed.
Purification progress reached 89%.
Before Yu Jin, the ten-minute countdown now only had three minutes left.
“Almost there!”
“Once purified, maybe there’s still time to go down and look around…”
Yu Jin murmured softly, attribute energy raging within him.
300,000 Value doesn’t mean inexhaustible energy.
Using abilities always means mana consumption.
Purifying the whole planet—a terrifying act—drains at an insanely high rate.
Even Yu Jin could feel his energy inching toward exhaustion.
If the remaining 11% pollution source left by Oumuamua was gathered together, Yu Jin might wipe it out in a flick.
But this pollution source is scattered across the entire planet, even gaining unknown improvements, so its purifying difficulty and consumption rose exponentially.
[Current Purification Progress: 90%…]
Numbers flickered before Yu Jin.
But just then.
At that moment.
Yu Jin suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis!
Terrifying, utterly terrifying!
In just an instant.
Yu Jin’s hair stood on end!
Since awakening as an Evolver, he’d never had such a feeling!
As if…
He alone had become the enemy of the entire universe!
As if…
All surrounding matter and energy began to reject him!
Even…
Yu Jin could feel his own internal energy suddenly raging violently!
“What’s happening?”
Yu Jin’s heart pounded madly.
Boom—!
Suddenly.
He felt an extremely strong wave appear from nowhere behind him.
Swish—
Yu Jin turned to look.
Just for an instant, he froze.
In his vision.
A huge, pitch-black celestial body began to ’appear out of thin air’ bit by bit.
Yes, appear out of thin air.
Yu Jin watched as it squeezed out, inch by inch, from ’space’.
This is…
[Warning! Warning!]
[You are approaching ’Tier Fifteen Star System-level Pollution Source—Extinction’!]
[Pollution source tier is extremely high, scale gigantic, danger immense!]
[It can easily pollute the entire Solar System!]
[You, in the body of an ant, cannot resist—please evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!]
Boom—!
The pitch-black celestial body squeezed out of ’space’ entirely.
Its arrival made all of space—and Blue Star below—tremble violently!
Swish—
The pitch-black celestial body suddenly brightened.
It transformed, as if becoming a black comet from the depths of the cosmos.
In this instant, Yu Jin’s mind went blank.
This black celestial body rapidly overlapped with the scene in Yu Jin’s memories.
This was something Yu Jin had seen once in Naiya’s prophecy…
Oumuamua 2!
“How can this be?”
Yu Jin’s heart shook fiercely.
In Naiya’s prophecy, this Oumuamua 2 wasn’t supposed to appear for another sixty days.
In Naiya’s prophecy, he only hurried back to Blue Star at the last moment because…
“Wait!”
Yu Jin’s scalp suddenly tingled…
