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

When Lin Chen opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the very center of a huge underground space.

The dome hangs high, and the walls around it are covered with a dense array of light strips, the cool white light illuminating the entire space without a single shadow.

All around, thousands of people stood in a dark mass.

Wearing uniform military green combat uniforms and holding standard weapons, they stood in neat formation.

Lin Chen didn't look at them. His gaze passed over the crowd and landed on a woman on a high platform behind them.

She was in her early twenties, with long golden hair cascading over her shoulders. She had a beautiful face, possessing both the sculpted features of a Westerner and a touch of Eastern gentleness.

She was wearing a well-tailored dark gray trench coat, a short knife at her waist, and black military boots.

The woman on the platform spoke: "This gentleman is truly remarkable. In just one day, he has killed five of my divine servants."

She spoke fluent Mandarin, unlike a typical Westerner: "I just don't know how to address you?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her with a hint of surprise, before calmly replying, "Lin Chen. I suppose you must be Anna? Your Mandarin is quite good."

Anna smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin."

Then she added, "Mr. Lin, do you know how much energy we need to expend to teleport you from the far East to the United States?"

Normally, we only activate this teleportation array when a large number of people and resources have gathered. This time, for Mr. Lin's sake, we've set a precedent.

Lin Chen looked around; the portal that had sucked him in had long since disappeared.

Without further ado, he brandished his Tang sword and calmly said, "In that case, Miss Anna, summon your god and let us fight."

Anna shook her head.

She turned and gave a few instructions to the soldiers behind her. The soldiers responded in unison, then turned around neatly, lined up, and left, quickly disappearing at the end of the passage.

Soon, only Lin Chen and Anna remained in the vast underground space.

Anna walked down from the platform at a leisurely pace, her military boots making a crisp sound as they stepped on the black stone.

She stopped three steps in front of Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, I don't want to fight you anymore. I want to talk to you about cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"Yes," Anna nodded. "I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help me break free from the control of the gods."

Lin Chen looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked in confusion, "Controlled by gods?"

Anna sighed softly, a hint of weariness and bitterness appearing on her delicate face.

She walked to the side, leaned against a support pillar, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and stared at some unseen place in the void.

"Don't be fooled by how imposing I and those servants of the gods seem; they are nothing more than puppets of the gods."

Her voice lowered, "Mike is, and so are Brian and the other three. Including me... a psychic, sounds impressive, right?"

Combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level; able to communicate with gods and borrow divine power...

Who knew that the first time he used his superpowers, a mark was planted in his soul by a god.

She raised her hand, drew a circle in the air with her fingertips, and then pointed to her heart.

"From that moment on, I was no longer myself. If I dared to disobey God's command, I would... suffer a fate worse than death!"

For more than a year, this deity has been asking me to send Him thousands of young and beautiful human women every month.

If it weren't for my ability to control the entire body, requiring me as a medium, I might have already been kidnapped by him.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "At the same time, He also wants me to collect crystal cores, train divine servants, and strengthen my power in preparation for His descent. I am not the chosen one; I am His dog."

There was no anger in her voice, only a resigned calm. But Lin Chen could hear a fire burning beneath that calm.

"Don't you want to be a dog anymore?"

"No." Anna shook her head firmly, turned to look at him, "So I need someone who can break this control. And Mr. Lin, you killed Mike, crippled Brian and the others, you are my only hope."

"What is your god's name?"

"Odin".

Lin Chen's eyebrows twitched. It wasn't Gal as expected. He then asked疑惑地问道, "What does He want human women to do?"

"Heh, of course, it's to be a slave. He told me that there are many gods who like to collect female creatures of various races, and we humans on Blue Star are a new discovery, so we can be sold for a good price." Anna clenched her fist and said calmly.

"So, all the people you kidnapped from the island nation and Korea have been sent to Him?"

Anna nodded coldly, without denying it.

Lin Chen sheathed his Tang sword and stared at her: "So, you're afraid that after He descends, He will turn you into a slave too?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen crossed his arms and said distantly, "How can you be so sure that I can deal with Him?"

Anna stared intently at Lin Chen: "Odin told me that the formation He gave to Brian and the other three can only be broken by ordinary gods. So, you're already considered a god, aren't you?"

Lin Chen didn't answer her, but pressed on, "What if it breaks?"

Without hesitation, Anna revealed her plan: "Let them burn their life force to activate the teleportation array here, where I will summon Him to descend and kill you."

"You're gambling. What if I can't save you either?"

Anna firmly replied, "Then I will summon Odin."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to kill his opponent instantly, but it seemed impossible. His opponent must have a stronger divine card, and he couldn't kill him instantly.

"All that you've said only proves one thing: you're terrified of dying."

Anna did not refute.

"It's not shameful to be afraid of death," Lin Chen continued. "Even ants cherish life, let alone humans."

Anna's lips twitched, but she didn't speak.

"What's your plan?" Lin Chen asked. "You brought me here, and then what?"

Anna said blankly, "I don't know either. This was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I just felt that you might be my only hope."

She clutched the hem of her clothes and asked in return, "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Chen's lips twitched. What could he possibly do?

At this moment, Zi Ling's voice rang out: "Master, I have an idea, you might as well give it a try."
