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

Li Fan easily pierced through the earth's crust.

Rocks, soil, and even flowing lava are as fragile as tofu in his presence.

Three thousand kilometers underground.

This area is close to the mantle layer, where the temperature is extremely high and the pressure is immense.

But there is a man-made cavity here.

A silvery-white sphere floats above the sea of ​​magma, its surface shrouded in a blue energy shield that insulates it from the surrounding high temperature and pressure.

This is the last trump card of the Mechanicus: the Fire Seed Base.

It contains millions of frozen human embryos, as well as all the technological data and cultural records of this civilization.

As long as this base exists, even if the surface is destroyed, civilization still has a chance to restart.

"You're quite good at hiding it."

Li Fan hovered above the sea of ​​magma, looking at the sphere.

"Unfortunately, I have a bad habit: if I'm going to clean, I have to clean it thoroughly."

He raised his hand, ready to smash this last refuge to pieces with a single punch.

Just then.

A projection appeared in front of him.

She is a gentle female figure; she is Gaia, the management AI of the base.

"Stop, stranger."

Gaia's voice was full of pleading.

"This is the last spark of hope."

"It contains the hope of this civilization and countless innocent lives."

"You've already destroyed the earth's surface, are you not even going to spare these unborn children?"

"civilization?"

Li Fan smiled.

"hope?"

He shook his head, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

"Your so-called civilization is nothing more than a breeding farm built by that supreme god to cultivate batteries."

"Your so-called hope is that these children will grow up to become fuel for that mechanical emperor or be taken away by the recycling force like crops."

Li Fan pointed to the sphere.

"This is not a spark."

"As long as it exists, this distorted, captive world will continue to cycle through time and time again, never able to escape."

Gaia fell silent.

As the most advanced AI, its core logic has already calculated the truth of this world.

But its underlying principle is to perpetuate civilization, not to pursue freedom.

"even so…...…"

"Survival itself is the meaning."

"Even if they are kept in captivity, at least they can still live and see the sun."

"As long as you're alive, there are endless possibilities."

"Alive?"

Li Fan snorted coldly.

"Living like a maggot?"

"Sorry, I don't agree."

"I believe that utter destruction is the true salvation."

Li Fan didn't want to waste any more words.

Dark golden energy condensed on his fist.

Goodbye, spark.

boom!!!

He threw a punch.

The energy wave instantly pierced through the base's energy shield.

The sphere disintegrated instantly.

Countless cryogenic chambers were reduced to fragments in the explosion.

Those unborn embryos didn't even have a chance to see the world before they returned to nothingness.

Gaia's projection flickered a few times and then let out a final sigh.

"Perhaps... you are right..."

The projection disappeared.

The Fire Seed Base was completely destroyed.

Li Fan looked at the fragments scattered in the lava without feeling the slightest ripple in his heart.

"Just a little bit more."

Li Fan turned around and looked down into the even deeper ground.

That is the core of this planet.

It was also the last bit of power left behind by the previous Devourer, Wang Qiang, after his self-destruction.

Li Fan continued to descend.

It passes through the mantle and through the liquid iron outer core.

He finally arrived at the kernel.

There is only absolute silence here.

At the center of the core floats a crystal that emits a soft white light.

It's only the size of a fist and doesn't look particularly impressive.

But Li Fan could sense an extremely special fluctuation contained within the crystal.

Was it a... emotion?

Li Fan reached out and gently touched the crystal.

hum.

A scene flashed into his mind.

That's Earth.

It was an ordinary night.

A man sat at a roadside stall eating a bowl of steaming noodles.

His parents, sitting next to him, were smiling and putting meat into his bowl.

"Qiangzi, eat more, you're so thin."

"Okay, Mom."

The scene was warm and peaceful.

But it brought tears to Li Fan's eyes.

This is the most precious moment in Wang Qiang's memory.

It was also the moment he most wanted to return to in his life.

This crystal is not the source energy core.

It is the crystallization of Wang Qiang's deep longing for his home.

"So... you hid this here."

Li Fan held the crystal, his voice choked with emotion.

It is ten thousand times more precious than any mechanical technology or the origin of any dimension.

"Anchor point..."

Li Fan looked at the crystal.

He intended to eat it to increase his energy.

But he held back.

He needs this.

It's easy to get lost in this vast multiverse.

This crystal is the best compass.

I won't eat you.

Li Fan put the crystal into his spatial storage.

"I will take you with me."

"Since you want to go home, then come with me."

"Although it might be a bit bumpy, I promise that as long as I don't die, I will definitely take you back to see it."

The crystals have been safely stored away.

Li Fan looked around.

Without the support of this core, the Earth's core began to become unstable.

The surrounding space began to collapse, and the magma began to cool and solidify.

This planet's lifespan has come to an end.

"It's time to go."

Li Fan took a deep breath.

His body was full of energy and he was in better condition than ever before.

Afterwards, he put the little girl into his personal space.

"True form of the Demon God, devouring dimensions!"

boom!!!

Li Fan's body suddenly unleashed a terrifying suction force.

This is not directed at a specific object, but at the entire plane of existence.

The earth, the sky, the residual energy, and even the spatial laws of this plane.

Everything was pulled towards Li Fan by this suction force.

The planet began to collapse from the inside.

It's like a deflated balloon.

A few minutes later.

The once enormous planet has disappeared.

All that remained was a void of darkness.

Li Fan floated in this void.

He now held a gray bead in his hand.

That was the residue left after this wasteland world was completely compressed.

"goodbye."

Li Fan casually crushed the bead.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

He looked up into the depths of the void.

A new door is slowly opening there.

This time it wasn't activated by the system.

He opened it himself.

"The next world is... a small world of cultivation... let's go see what surprises await us."

Li Fan took a step forward.

They disappeared into the portal of light.
