Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The void rift slowly closed.

That once invincible recovery team has vanished completely, leaving not a trace.

Li Fan hovered ten thousand meters in the air, the twelve pairs of light wings behind him fluttering slightly, radiating a breathtaking divine power.

He looked down at the ravaged land beneath his feet.

The wasteland ruins, the purple sky, and the rivers flowing with venom.

There were also the survivors clinging to life in the ruins and the countless mechanical creatures that had gone out of control and descended into chaos.

"This world is completely rotten."

Li Fan's voice resounded throughout the sky under the blessing of the laws.

"Since the disease has progressed to the point of no return, there's no need to treat it."

"Just cremate him."

Li Fan reached out and tapped a few times in the air.

He was using the highest level of access to Skynet.

Sizzle sizzle...

All electronic screens, loudspeakers, and even the communication chips implanted in everyone's body were forcibly connected at the same time.

Whether in the underground shelters of Iron Fortress, in the camps of wanderers in the wilderness, or in other cities.

Everyone heard that sound.

"Hello, hello, a sound check."

It was a young man's voice, which sounded even a little lazy.

"I am Li Fan."

You may not know me, but that doesn't matter.

"The important thing I'm here to tell you is something."

In the ruins of Iron Fortress, Old Black was hiding behind a broken wall, shivering while clutching a half-empty bottle of moldy water.

Upon hearing this voice, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with terror.

It's an adult's voice!

"This world is a giant farm."

"You are livestock being raised in captivity, and I am the one who doesn't want to be eaten."

"I'm going to break out of prison now."

"But I don't want to leave you with that farmer before I go."

Li Fan's voice gradually turned cold, carrying an undeniable cruelty.

"So I'm going to take everything back."

"All life, all energy, all matter."

"Don't resist, don't run away."

"Because you have nowhere to escape from this cage."

"This is my final act of mercy towards you, allowing you to become the foundation stones on my way home without pain."

The broadcast has ended.

The world fell into a deathly silence.

Then came a desperate cry.

"A madman! He's a madman!"

"He's going to kill us all!"

"Let's fight! Let's fight him!"

"God! Save us!"

Li Fan listened to the commotion below without expression.

"Fight? God?"

He shook his head.

"Your god has been eaten by me."

"As for risking one's life..."

Li Fan raised his right hand towards the Iron Fortress below, the steel behemoth that once had millions of inhabitants.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

"Deus ex machina command: Cleanse."

hum! ! !

A visible dark golden ripple descended from the sky and instantly covered the entire city.

next second.

Hell descends.

Inside the Iron Fortress, the normally quiet robot vacuum cleaners, service androids, and even the prosthetics on people's bodies suddenly all went out of control.

Their electronic eyes turned blood red.

"Cleaning instructions confirmed."

"The target is all organic life forms."

A nobleman was hiding in a luxurious basement when he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck.

That was the Guardian-type robotic arm that he had installed for himself at great expense, claiming to be the safest.

At that moment, that arm was tightly gripping his throat.

"No... I am the master... I am..."

Click.

His neck was broken.

The nobles were thrown to the ground like dead dogs.

Similar scenes are playing out in every corner of the city.

The nanny robot used a kitchen knife to slash at a baby still in a cradle.

A medical robot inserted a scalpel into a patient's heart.

The automatic turret turned its gun and opened fire wildly on the fleeing crowd.

This is a betrayal of flesh and blood by machines.

It was also a highly efficient massacre.

Without Li Fan having to lift a finger, this highly mechanized civilization killed itself.

Screams, explosions, and mechanical sounds mingled together, playing the final symphony of this world.

Li Fan stood on the cloud, looking down at the burning city.

His eyes remained expressionless.

"Devouring the undead."

Countless souls rose from the city and converged on Li Fan in the sky.

Those were all living beings that had just died.

Their vitality and soul power all became nourishment for Li Fan.

Although there are very few individual specimens, the sheer quantity makes up for it.

"Not enough."

Li Fan turned around and looked at the vast wilderness.

"There are still many rats hiding there."

"Come forth, my legion!"

Li Fan opened his arms.

"roar--!!!"

The undead army swarmed out.

They blotted out the sky and spread in all directions.

"Go."

"Turn every single stone over."

"Find every living creature."

"Eat them all, kill them all, burn them all."

A secluded valley deep in the wilderness.

Zhao Gang and the remaining dozen or so "fellow villagers" were hiding in a cave.

They heard the broadcast.

I also saw the dark, ghostly clouds filling the sky in the distance.

"Is it really... over?"

The young female mage hugged her knees, her eyes vacant.

"We survived the mechanical monsters, we survived the radiation, only to die at the hands of... one of our own?"

Zhao Gang silently wiped the greatsword in his hand.

"He's not one of us."

Zhao Gang looked up at the gloomy sky outside the cave entrance.

"He is the true demon king."

"And the only one who might break this cage."

"Then what do we do? Just wait here to die?" the young man holding the broken sword roared angrily.

"Otherwise what?"

Zhao Gang gave a wry smile.

"Our system broke down a long time ago, and our energy has long since run out."

"We are now a bunch of walking corpses, without even the right to resist."

As they were talking.

thump.

A soft sound.

A figure landed at the cave entrance.

Black hair, black clothes, cold eyes.

Li Fan found this place.

Even without a system for location tracking, no life in this world can escape his perception.

"Oh, everyone's here."

Li Fan entered the cave as if he were visiting a neighbor.

All the "fellow villagers" stood up; some raised weapons, while others trembled with fear.

Are you going to kill us?

Zhao Gang stood in front of the crowd and stared directly at Li Fan.

"Um."

Li Fan nodded without any attempt to hide his feelings.

"Your lives are a torment."

"Although you don't have much energy left, those remaining fragments of dimensional laws are still somewhat useful to me."

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"You're too cruel!" the female mage cried out. "We're all Earthlings! We're all pitiful people who want to go home! Why can't you let us go?"

"Let them go?"

Li Fan looked at her without a trace of pity.

"Let you go and continue eating rat meat in this wasteland? Continue to go mad in despair?"

"Or are you waiting for that supreme god to be in a good mood one day and recycle you into energy?"

Li Fan walked up to the female mage.

"Look at the state you've become."

"His soul has long since withered away, leaving only an empty shell."

"Even that so-called 'want to go home' is just the last bit of instruction left in your brain by the system."

"You're all dead."

Li Fan's words ripped away the last veil of pretense.

The female mage was stunned.

The others were also stunned.

Yes.

They have long forgotten what their hometown is like.

I forgot my parents' faces and the taste of braised pork.

They just repeated the phrase "I want to go home" day after day, like machines.

"Let's get started."

Zhao Gang threw down the greatsword in his hand.

He closed his eyes, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"Give us a quick death."

"In my next life... I hope I can be reborn into a better family and not run into any more of this damn system."

Li Fan nodded.

"As you wish."

There was no cool magic or cruel torture.

Li Fan simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.

Whew~~~~

A gentle yet irresistible black energy swept through the cave.

Zhao Gang, a female mage, and a young man with a broken sword…

More than a dozen people turned to ashes in an instant.

Their bodies dissipated, and the faint fragments of laws remaining within them were absorbed by Li Fan.

Li Fan was the only one left in the cave.

"Take care."

Li Fan said softly.

He turned and walked out of the cave.

The undead army is advancing relentlessly in the outside world.

Flames shot skyward on the horizon.

"The cleaning is almost done."

Li Fan sensed that the current extinction rate of life in this plane was 98%.

"There's only 2% left."

Li Fan's gaze fell upon the ground beneath his feet.

"Hidden underground?"

"Then let's dig out the Earth's core too."

He flashed and transformed into a streak of light, crashing heavily to the ground.

(Let me clarify here: I have been writing this book myself the entire time. I did not use ghostwriters, run away, give it to others, or sell it. Regarding the protagonist's power disappearing somewhat, I intended it to reveal the system. In later plot developments, the system will only be a plaything for the protagonist, eventually becoming a system whose existence or non-existence is irrelevant. I am also very grateful for everyone's support of this book. Please forgive any flaws in the writing. The later content will be even more exciting, so please continue to support me. The author has not abandoned this book as some big names believe. I have been writing it myself the whole time. Regarding the protagonist's power, the loss will not recur after this volume. This volume aims to reveal the protagonist's situation and explain the foreshadowing in the first volume. This may have made some readers feel uncomfortable, and I apologize in advance.)
