The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

After some effective training, Ji Chen absorbed the broken sword armor on the ground and continued his journey with the chimpanzee.

His goal in venturing out of the wilderness this time was very clear.

That means there is no goal.

Travel the world and observe its changes from a broader perspective, without a specific purpose.

After all communications were cut off, D City was ultimately just a remote corner of the world. We had to go to the vast wilderness, the oceans and lakes, to see the changes that the many mutated creatures had brought to the world.

This is Ji Chen's purpose in coming out.

He was never one to be complacent or arrogant; behind his arrogance lay a cautious nature.

Plants and animals are constantly mutating and evolving, and in the process, their intelligence level has risen to an unprecedented level, becoming almost indistinguishable from humans. Some special species are even stronger.

In this context, it's hard for Ji Chen not to believe that there wouldn't be an intelligent race that wouldn't try to build and create a new civilization.

Perhaps in some corner of the world, a unique and distinctive civilization has already emerged and is thriving in this great era of evolution.

All Ji Chen needs to do is observe them, and if possible, try to nip them in the bud.

Of course, conquest is also a method.

At least in terms of non-human races, Ji Chen would not allow any intelligent civilization to emerge that could escape his control.

If one had to set another purpose, it would be to travel through many harsh environments in the Jedi, to promote the adaptive evolution of the Apostle Yoda, to improve various resistances, and to continuously add various traits to his body.

Then one day, I will become the ultimate life form on this planet.

"Um?"

As Ji Chen entered the river and drifted downstream, he was suddenly jolted, his heart filled with rage.

Something unexpected happened to his main account in D City. The Lin family of Ye City, a technological aristocracy that he had previously ignored, actually colluded with a considerable number of internal officials in D City to rebel against him, using the backup plan he had left behind!

That is to say, those officials who had previously been imprinted with the Life and Death Seal by Ji Chen still harbored fear, and thus promptly and secretly informed him during this collusion.

Otherwise, even if this conspiracy and coup don't harm him, D City will be severely damaged, and in the ensuing chaos, it might become another disaster comparable to a meteorite impact.

So Ji Chen was naturally furious.

"Well, I haven't even looked for you guys yet, and you're already jumping around in my face!"

Ji Chen's tone was chilling, and amidst swirling lightning, he leaped out of the water.

Originally, Ji Chen hadn't planned to investigate the cause and effect of Chu Junhui's original body, but this clown from the Lin family insisted on finding a scene with him, and Ji Chen really didn't know what to say.

Ji Chen decisively called the chimpanzee on the shore and changed course, heading southeast.

Those old-fashioned clowns deserve to be slaughtered.

. . . . . .

Ye City, the Lin family.

"What?! It failed?!"

An elderly man with a white beard suddenly stood up, looking on in disbelief.

"How could we possibly fail? We brought our most powerful electromagnetic weapons with us, and we still couldn't succeed?!"

The Lin family's technological focus is on electromagnetic weapons, and they have made significant achievements in directed energy weapons and electromagnetic cannons.

Once electromagnetic weapons are developed, they should have a devastating effect.

Previously, Yecheng's attempt to break free from the bureaucracy and council controlled by the Lin family failed due to a targeted explosion using electromagnetic weapons.

This weapon can even kill giant beasts in the wilderness, and even the strongest beast king often retreats.

So how could the Lin family members, who were equipped with such weapons, have failed?

"We were all wrong. The information brought by that mysterious person was not exaggerated. Chu Junhui, the controller of D City, has power comparable to the Beast King. Defeat... is only to be expected."

"We underestimated our opponents, and we also underestimated other humans struggling in this great era of evolution."

Lin Zongyao, the head of the Lin family, stood up, his tone solemn.

"We must change. Staying cooped up in this base will only lead to our destruction!"

"Patriarch, how is that possible? That's a King-level creature! Our Lin family has been researching the Eminem virus for many years, and even the most outstanding talents in the family haven't reached that bottleneck yet."

Some people clearly didn't believe it.

This news was so shocking, it was like a silent mockery of the Lin family's incompetence, as if they were worthless.

As a technologically advanced aristocracy with an advantage in information, they have exhausted all their resources, yet there are still very few strong individuals in their clan who can single-handedly contend with giant beasts.

But now they are told that a once unknown nobody has suddenly gained strength comparable to the Beast King.

Such an outcome is hard for anyone to accept.

The absurdity and resentment intensified when they realized that this "minor character" was actually the son of an outsider power that their Lin family had once looked down upon and could easily manipulate.

"That's just how it is, and you can't change it no matter how much you don't believe it."

Lin Zongyao, the head of the Lin family, snorted coldly, then said emphatically:

"But this speed is definitely not normal. You all know Chu Junhui's situation. A good-for-nothing who has grown to this point must have a big secret about him!"

Lin Zongyao's eyes seemed to be gleaming with a green light, filled with greed.

"If we can obtain this secret, our Lin family can once again become a force to be reckoned with in the world, and perhaps even more powerful!"

The other Lin family members present were stirred up by him and immediately became excited.

Yes, even a good-for-nothing can become a powerhouse comparable to a beast king by relying on this secret. If the Lin family were to obtain this secret, wouldn't they be able to become the ruler of the world?

"Yes, the patriarch is right. Moreover, he has protected D City very well. Roughly estimated, its current population is over 100,000. If we can take over this now stable city, our Lin family will surely be able to revive!"

"That's right, we must settle the past mistakes and take over D City!"

The Lin family members became excited.

Ye City has now become a post-apocalyptic camp, with a current population of less than 10,000. Moreover, its morality has collapsed, making it extremely difficult to manage. The Lin family dislikes it, believing that the management cost is too high and it is better to let it go.

But D City is different. It has a complete system and a large population. Once they successfully settle in, it will become a new base and even a benchmark in the apocalypse, attracting other survivors to come and join them.

Therefore, due to a combination of factors, even if Ji Chen had no prior grudges against them, they would still target and strip him of his rights!

"In that case, let's send Lin Teng with the electromagnetic force to kill Chu Junhui at all costs and retake D City!"

Lin Teng is the next generation leader of the Lin family. The key is that he has been injected with the Amine virus for many years and has also practiced secret martial arts. In addition, he has gained superpowers after the mutation, making him quite powerful.

"By the way, we should also keep a close eye on that mysterious person. He can pinpoint the location of our Lin family base and cross the radiation zone unharmed. He might have some secrets to hide and is worth plotting against."
